Apple Pencil

If you're going to use the Apple pencil lot, just get an iPad air. Save for another month or two if you need to because the generation to Apple pencil is not a incremental improvement over the first one. And now it has a new feature, which I really like: It's basically got a proximity sensor. So as your Apple pencil gets closer to the screen, it sort of indicates where it is. But yeah, there's no reason to jump from M1 to M2 unless you're also doing another change such as GarageBand.
