Get the 256, 128 sucks. This tablet is amazing, I do all my photo and video editing on it now and the apps are vastly cheaper than macos. Whats better I hook this up to my thunderbolt docking port and I throw up my editing to my 4k monitor and any input, manipulation i do on the tablet w/ the pen. It is vastly easier to edit w/ the pen than a mouse (IMHO). I did break down and get the Apple pen pro but got it from Walmart "open box" for $79. Its legit.
Come Sept w/ new ipados it is going to be even closer to a laptop, so much I may sell my MBP.
I mean you can save $$$ over buying a laptop, unless you have very specific app needs this thing is 50% cheaper and you can hook it to a monitor/docking and you are on your way. Even has multi-screen and multi-threading now. When I travel now, I also have a 15" external monitor and away I go.

Looks interesting and I like the idea of a portable almost-desktop but only 8GB of RAM makes that a short-term use case and not necessarily good for years ahead.

FWIW the price at Apple Education Store is $70 more at $549, and I think that's a better deal for many because you get:

Any color you want
Free laser engraving
Free Pencil Pro (worth $100) or AirPods 4 (worth $90-100) or $120-129 off a more expensive accessory like the AirPods 4 ANC, AirPods Pro 2, or Magic Keyboard

Does your thunderbolt dock output to your monitor via DP, HDMI, or USB C?

Which dock btw?

Thanks

Apple's pricing model is to intentionally sell something under performing at the lowest markup so that you are forced to buy something slightly above average but not bare bottom so that they can make the most amount of money.
Apple cares about your privacy, but they don't care about your money

Hey I just looked around the back of the monitor, it is DIRECT USB-C to DP. When I plug it into my TB3 dock it says unsupported, so sorry about that. My MBP works tho.

Upon looking at specs it does support USB3 docks, but I don't have one of those so I cannot verify.

Too many cables.
