These are the Macs or associated hardware that I have owned at one time or another, with most still in use today.
The iPad 3, or ‘iPad 3rd Generation’, or ‘iPad with Retina Display’….depends on who you talk to, was my first iPad bought in 2012 a week after its initial release for a way overpriced £560 (White 64gb wifi only version).
