Device Preferences and Returns

The discussion highlights a personal experience with recent Apple products, focusing on the decision to return a 13-inch iPad Pro and a 14-inch MacBook Pro. The larger screen of the iPad Pro, while appealing for artists, diminished usability for everyday tasks, prompting a preference for the 11-inch model instead. The 14-inch MacBook Pro was returned primarily due to dissatisfaction with its Space Black color and the constant maintenance required to keep it clean from fingerprints. The speaker also noted the appeal of refurbished products as a more economical choice, emphasizing significant savings compared to buying new models.
