Device Ecosystem Setup

Reading & Note-taking

The reMarkable 2 offers an E-ink display, it has a paper-like experience that provides a distraction-free environment. Its primary concerns are slow charging and a limited software ecosystem.

In contrast, the iPad 9 has a vibrant display with lots of functionality and a rich app ecosystem. However, it faces battery drain issues and is heavier in weight as compared to the e-ink alternatives.

Computing

With the M1 chip, the MacBook Air (2020) delivers really decent performance, silent operation, and an okayish battery life after 3 years. Its limitations include limited screen real estate (have to use 2nd monitor) and port availability.

Mobile & Wearables

The iPhone SE (3rd Gen) is a perfect device for me (my favorite form-factor) and it is a capable device, powered by a seemingly decent chip and the Touch ID is great. I have paired it with an Apple Watch SE that handles health tracking and notifications good enough.

Audio

Primarily using for hearing assistance, the AirPods Pro has good Apple integration, Live Listen capability, and a portable form factor. But I am trying to avoid using them for music listening. I think speakers are better for that purpose.
