Melissa’s Mobile Field Kit

Apple MacBook Air M3, Apple iPad Air M2, and Apple Pencil Pro were all upgraded with Apple’s Back to School promotion. Now her newly-minted college student has a sweet Apple MacBook Pro M1 Pro for classes and they both look forward to learning more about Procreate and Affinity apps on iPad together.

Everything now charges with USB-C and/or MagSafe. Yay for consistency!
