    I didn’t even get through the whole video. I want to state this. The iPad is like the coworker for the iPhone. You should have both actually. The iPad is wonderful for iCloud and other computing and for the moment tablet stuff and the iPhone is great for a lot of computing and phone usage. I have to say that the Mac though is very important and why you might ask? Well, the Mac is the boss of the iPad and iPhones. The Mac is there to run everything. You are able to use the computer to run all your daily equipment. The iPad you can’t do that. But if you have the computer it is going to oversee everything. You can update your iPad and phone with the Mac and back all your info to the Mac. So really some people think that the Mac is the coworker for the iPhone three are actually coworkers but that is not true. The iPhone and iPad are coworkers but the computer is the superior and the boss of them. The computer is the one that tells them what do to. The Mac is their one that tells the iPad and iPhones what to do. The Mac runs the show actually. But if you are going out to a meeting or to a coffee shop the iPad is great even your iPhone but the Mac is very important.

    I don’t mind apples case. It doesn’t take up much space on a side table. You can hold one of the cups when you take them out and gravity should stop them from banging in each other. Has anyone really had their scratch from banging into each other, and are those scratches less ugly than any of the covers? I have the cable on order because I totally want to use this with the PS5. Headband cover scenes are right if the mesh does get loose, that’s presuming that this cover will provide a little more support. I wouldn’t use a stand for my AirPod max because I want to put them inside the case to have them turn off and not be connected to my things or draining the power. I don’t mind that mine is lightning because I still have iPhone 13 Pro that is also lightning.. I like that my iPad 2024 came with a mesh cable because then I can tell the two cables without having a look at the connecter. I really wouldn’t want to cover up these headphones. Also seen as people seem to really hate the case that Apple supplies, I wouldn’t recommend calling it a bra, because that comes off as misogynistic. Everyone’s doing it though so I guess I’m just being a Karen about it.

I think Apple also knows and prob ready to ship it when iPad loses its market share. Nobody has asked iPad to be MacOS before when it was out. But time has changed. Speically Galaxy is supporting Dex version like that. If it did not have like M4 chips, people won't except anything like that. I really think Apple should drop the Macbook & Macbook Air because there are not much different among Macbook, Air, and Pros. They should replace Macbook and Macbook Air with iPad.

      OK. There’s now two ways you could use this: 1) Record the audio from your meetings using the built in Google recording and upload the audio file to the plaud web app. It’ll then summarise and transcribe whatever you want. 2) Setup the note next to your computer speaker. The downside of this method is you can’t use a headset to listen to the other people on the call- the device needs to be able to hear everything said in the room.

I ended up getting a Magic Keyboard and it has become more than my everything… I usually lay down on the couch and the 11” size is the best thing ever for writing my papers on pages. I just got a macbook yesterday for an upgrade and even tho i chose the smallest one, its still feel too big and also the material is too slippery to have on you. It slides down on the duvet and anything i put it on. The edges are also hurting my wrists. Im really conflicted cause i actually appreciate the extras that come with the macbook, especially in pages.

    Very detailed analysis. For me the bulk of my work is writing and document management. A few years ago I made the jump from macOS to iOS. iOS was mature enough to address my needs. In time I sold off my Mac hardware. I didn’t want duplicate gear on my desk and on the road. Now I use an iPad Pro M2. I have a Samsung monitor at home and some cables. Now my hardware is firmly iPhone and iPad. I even changed my email address from .macOS to iOS. About price. Whew both platforms are expensive with little difference in price.

    I've got 8 Apple Babies....I can honestly tell you that mentally there is a HUGE difference between me opening up a laptop versus an iPad. Most of the time the iPad is a leisurely feeling and the laptop puts me in business / work mode. (for the record I am about to sell 3 old apple products b/c I certainly need to sell off anything old before its just too old) However, when I am on the go around town doing UBER and I have to take a break the moment it feels a little slow (I can't always drive across town to go home for a break)........and all I have is my iPad Mini - I WILL find a way to get some work done on the iPad. Now, another point - there's a reason I have an iPad Mini 6 + Macbook Pro + iMac at home. - they all provide different sized versions of my different needs. *iMac at home I need to use to really design stuff as I am a Graphic Designers. *Macbook Pro - is so I can really work from anywhere in my home or outside of the home if I'm doing real work. This is better for when I am writing (blogging, working on my book) *The iPad Mini 6 - I carry with me, along with my iPhone but right now my transition is to make the iPad the "workhorse" so I can stay off my phone more. So when I only have my iPad and iPhone I want my iPad as my temporary laptop therefore If I am suddenly in work mode I've at least brought along my iPad. I just can't carry the Macbook Pro everytime I go to run errands as I may or may not even need it. Many times I've carried it daily yet and some days I never get to touch it, so i'm just carrying extra heavy stuff. Moving forward, I think what will help me if i'm suddenly in WORK MODE - is to just have one of those foldable, Bluetooth keyboards I can connect to my iPhone or iPad. Found myself in many moments where I didn't plan on working or bringing my laptop b/c it's heavy....yet I was in the MOOD to draft up a design or blog post, hence me wanting the foldable keyboard I just keep in my purse at all times.

    Always buy a MacBook. The great thing about the IPad is you can use it alongside the MacBook as an extra monitor. So let’s stop comparing the two they work great together

      Good point. I use the extended screen feature a lot at my desk.

    I’m not wrong thinking that the iPad was always a computer that focuses on a touch based user experience and the MacBook being a traditional computing experience. They both do similar tasks exceptionally well but in different ways. What do you prefer is what it comes down to most of the time.

      Yep. I feel the same frustration when people talk about bringing touch to the Mac. Let them be their own things.

      @@ThatMarkGilroy I've always enjoyed working on creative stuff like photo editing and video editing more on my iPad because it allows you to use your hands more and I feel a bit more productive because of the limited multi-tasking. The only limitation has been very specific to some software choices and the reality with app switching is that we don't use one app for everything anymore. It strikes that balance of being focused on one task vs multi-tasking and the focus on one thing adds more to the productivity. I almost argue if you want to actually get stuff done and stay organized. You may be better with an iPad if software constraints do not bother you. There is almost an app for everything now. Including the screensharing possibilities. Even livestreaming gameplay with your camera on an ipad is now possible. I only found issues with web based platforms that rely on the cloud a lot. I'm still waiting for a native Descript application for my editing.

    Thank you for the explaination. Really helped me a lot on making a decision. I will be purchasing MacBook pro.

    Will the cheapest iPad edit photos in Lightroom and Photoshop really well? Do I need a pro for that and games?

    • @ThatMarkGilroy
      @ThatMarkGilroy 6 днів тому

      The cheapest iPad and the iPad Mini will struggle with those tasks. I’d look at the latest iPad Air which is a great device for gaming and will sail through lightroom and photoshop editing.

    Would you say these apps would be good for someone who has dyslexia and short attention span so adhd? I’m looking to change the colour of the backgrounds when writing as I noticed doing things like that helps a lot

      Hi Rebecca. Two things: 1) Craft has a dedicated 'Focus' button that pulls away all other menus/tabs when you're writing in one click. This might be helpful. 2) Milanote has a number of appearance amends that you can make to improve legibility. I have a few other friends (also creators) with ADHD who have all said that Milanote helps.

      TBH any low-profile keyboard sounds awful compared to Lofree's products. I just posted a review of Lofree's new version of the Flow and they've addressed most of the issues people had with the original : ua-cam.com/video/XmIfV-wPM6A/v-deo.html
