If there’s ever a year when I don’t spend a lot of money on technology, it had better be 2026 — because I am skint after a Mac Studio, an M5 iPad Pro, and more.

I did not set out to buy either my M4 Mac Studio with 48GB RAM and 2TB SSD, nor my M5 13-inch iPad Pro with 512GB storage. Although I’m not sure who I’m trying to kid there: I wanted both before they even existed.
