Deal Information - Paidy

During seasonal sales like this, high-priced items that are usually out of reach can be significantly discounted. It's a common story to get a great discount only to lose it all on credit card installment fees...

At Amazon, let's make use of Paidy for smart shopping! You can choose payment methods for next-month payment (one-time), 3-month, or 6-month installments, with 0% installment fees! If you can pay immediately, you can select "Pay Now" at a convenience store.

If you received a winter bonus, take advantage of the interest-free installments to shop wisely! I've created an article summarizing Paidy, so please check it out!

Apple

Mac mini

If I were to buy a Mac, it would definitely be a Mac mini. Since I work on my iPad Pro when I'm out, I want a desktop with high expandability for home. I don't need a high-spec model like this; a model one rank lower is fine.

iPhone 16 Pro

Since the price isn't significantly different from the iPhone 15 Pro, I'll buy the newer model. The big differences from the 15 Pro are the screen size and the telephoto camera sensor size. By using professional-grade camera apps, you can create authentic images, so I highly recommend it to iPhone creators. Also, since there is a Paidy plan exclusively for Apple, I recommend paying with Paidy if you are purchasing in installments.

iPad Pro

I have used the 2nd generation iPad Pro and the M4 iPad Pro, and I have realized that they are overwhelmingly convenient for any kind of creative activity. I have used them for video editing, photo editing, blog creation, gaming, and various other things, and I can do almost anything I think, 'I want to do this!' Although it is an expensive device, there is a Paidy plan exclusively for Apple, so I recommend paying with Paidy if you are purchasing in installments.

iPad mini

I bought a 6th generation iPad mini from a friend at a low price, and this size is divine. I understand why iPad mini users rave about it. Since you can use it powerfully at this size, I recommend the iPad mini (A17 Pro) for those who frequently work or play games while on the go.

Apple Accessories

Logitech COMBO TOUCH

The genuine Apple Magic Keyboard is certainly high-quality and a good keyboard, but isn't it too expensive? It costs up to 60,000 yen (for the M4 iPad Pro 13-inch). You could buy other gadgets with that. If you think so, I definitely recommend this one. I am currently using the M4 iPad Pro 13-inch, and I chose the COMBO TOUCH for the keyboard. I was able to buy it for 20,000 yen less than the Magic Keyboard, so I plan to use the remaining money to buy an Apple Pencil Pro. The design has an affinity with the iPad, so it's stylish and cool.

Apple Pencil Pro

The new M4 iPad Pro I purchased could not use the Apple Pencil (2nd generation) that I had been using previously. The price is almost the same, so it's a shock... It's not a problem since I still use the iPad Pro (2nd generation) and iPad mini (6th generation), but it's too disappointing that it can't be used with the M4 iPad Pro. Since it's a gadget I use frequently, I'll probably end up buying it.

Logitech CRAYON iP11SL

Although it is not an Apple device, I have been interested in it for a while because it is a high-quality touch pen that can be used with the iPad series. You can buy it for half the price of the Apple Pencil Pro. Charging is via USB-C and pairing is via Bluetooth, which is no different from other companies' touch pens, but it is said to be highly accurate as if it were made for the iPad.

SanDisk External SSD

A rugged external SSD that can be used with Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It supports USB 3.2 Gen2, so you can use it while reading video materials used for video editing, so rather than just saving data, it can be used almost like internal storage. It is especially recommended for those who could not increase the storage of their Mac or iPad.

In conclusion

I'm on the verge of bankruptcy after splurging during the year-end Black Friday sale, so I'm debating what to do about the New Year's sale, but I have a feeling I'll end up buying quite a few things... Let's all splurge together and have a great year! (Though please do so within your means!)

The gadgets I've purchased in the past are compiled in a magazine. I'd be happy if you could take a look at that if you're interested. There are many gadgets I haven't been able to introduce yet, but I'll wrap things up here for now. Thank you for sticking with me until the end!
