I disagree regarding the 12.9”. I had one and returned it and purchased the 11”. Trust me, it is so much better. The weight of the larger device is too much when holding it for long periods. Apart from that I agree wholeheartedly. My iPad Pro replaced a gaming laptop as my only ‘computer’ and has never let me down. Like you, mine is used daily and it is genuinely the best piece of tech that I have ever had. Thanks for the vid. Nicely put together, informative and well presented. Thank you 🙏 👍
I love my iPads and have basically used two of them every day for years now, a 12.9" and an 11". If you are going to buy only one iPad, as you say, I would recommend the 12.9". And the Apple Pencil is a must. But as for the keyboard, I still don't know which is the best solution for me either.
@@LandynG137 Thanks for sharing your beautiful keyboard with me! For some reason Brydge is almost unknown in Japan and Amazon was full of foreign language reviews. I don't speak English, but thanks to you and your translation app, I was able to learn about this keyboard. Thank you.
See, just by looking at the starting there is a considerable improvement. Good I am with you, don’t t forget to make a channel logo, its like a identification for ones channel. All the best
Very nice review! I agree with a lot of your statements. There are so many uses for the iPad. I would probably differ on the size issue having owned both the 12.9 inch and currently the 11 inch models. I’ve got the 14 inch MacBook Pro for a larger image and different applications, but when I want to travel light, 11” is perfect for me. But again very nice review!
Cheers Doug, really enjoyed this video, glad the UA-cam peeps suggested it to me. I have a totally different type of channel but have just got an iPad Pro for work and found this really useful and timely, great tips. Good luck with he channel too, I know how much work it is getting one off the ground, subscribed ✌🏻
I own both the 12” Pro & the iPad Mini. I use my iPad more than any other item in my technology stack. There are many reason why I prefer the iPad over a regular computer. The biggest two reason is the Sandbox feature and the simplicity of the iPad Operating System.
@@brucelin5842 Sandbox is a feature built into all Apple products. One app can’t talk to the other without express permission from the user. Or that is the idea of the sandbox feature. It is easier to get around the feature if the app isn’t in the App Store through. That goes for all Apple Products. That is basically a simple explanation of this feature, there is a lot more to it through.
Honestly i use my iPad as a big ass phone 😂. Though my productivity is all through my MacBook still. At first i thought there was too much overlap but it is what it is as im not one to write with a pencil even though i have it i only use it for drawing. It’s more like my iPad is my leisure device and everything else is productivity. Also yes 12.9” is the play
great video mate! but in my opinion buying Ipad pro 2022 currently where the new model might be come out any moment, the wise option probably just wait the new model, unless you have a lot of disposable income or you need it for work
I have M2 11inch iPad Pro and Apple Pencil I use it all the time and take it everywhere with me. I have a carrying case. I think 11inch is still a good size and the screen is still pretty good when watching movies or shows. I just think the 12.9 is really expensive and accessories are more expensive with 12.9 inch also carrying it around all the time for work could be challenging cause you would need a bigger bag and also I don’t see the point in getting the 12.9 inch iPad I think you would be better suited to laptop that’s my opinion. I was also wondering if you had to choose between MacBook Pro and iPad Pro which one would you choose.
Great feedback and I agree with you on your points! I have both a MacBook and iPad Pro and use them both for different reasons. For me, one couldn’t replace the other.
@@dford8327 I’m actually currently selling my iPad Pro 11 inch I’m keeping Apple Pencil but I’m thinking about mini or 12.9 inch pro I really need advice what to do. I’ve withdrawn from college due to mental health and anxiety. I’m really devastated about it the college said they couldn’t support me. However that’s why I’m selling iPad Pro. I still really want a iPad but if I can still save money as well when buying new iPad that is the plan. I’m going to be doing some seasonal work starting in December for 3 weeks.
I'm getting an iPad pro in the near future and I'm planning to use it mainly as a mind mapping tool since ill be doing my readings and school work on a laptop. Should I still get the 12.9" model or should I save my money and get the 11"?
I honestly think you should really consider the 12.9” model. In the long run, you will be really happy you did. That said… I THINK new iPads are coming in the next couple months. If I were you, I would wait until early spring before making a purchase. When new iPads come out, the current models will be available at a discounted price. OR, the new models might have some features/upgrades that add value to you, and you will be glad that you waited so that you have the option to purchase the most current model.
@@dford8327 yeah the 12.9" model is the best out of the lineup. However, that big of a price increase cannot justify my need for a bigger screen real estate.
@@dford8327 Yeah, OneNote is good. It is limited on iPad I have noticed and isn't quite as good as Goodnotes, but it is better in the fact that it is free.
Hi there. Could you help me figure out which iPad should I go with? I can buy an iPad air 5 for $370 and 12.9” m1 iPad Pro for $620. (Both are used and I have a macbook air as well.) My main usage will be note taking, reading news, papers, articles, watching youtube videos and mostly for the educational purposes.
Honestly I think the iPad Air will work just fine for what you are doing with it. However the pro may give you a slightly better experience and it will hold its value better. If it were me, I would lean towards the pro.

I have the iPad Air M1 and it is great for work and school.

Best keyboard case in my opinion is the brydge one. It’s amazing it stands on its own and basically turns it into a laptop.

I'd recommend combo touch by Logitech! It soo good
I have the 12.9 with the Magic Keyboard. Had it over two years. It was expensive, but I would buy it again in a heart beat.

ps, how good was Silo 🙂
Silo was awesome! We really enjoyed it and hope for a season 2
Nice vid. I got the 12.9” and love it.
I appreciate you making this video! An honest review for real day to day scenarios!
Good luck on the Channel. Love your approach and Down to Earth delivery. It makes it easy to watch! New Sub!
Awesome, thank you!
I’ve had the same experience with my iPad, although it’s an iPad mini. But I prefer to look for it instead of continue using my phone

Did u purchased a new one or a refurbished because I am trying to get a M1 iPad. It’s all out of stock
I purchased a new one, but it was like 10 months ago now.

What was the notes program you were using?
OneNote by Microsoft
Yep, it was OneNote. I use that program because it is compatible between my iPad and my windows laptop
@@dford8327 Yeah, OneNote is good. It is limited on iPad I have noticed and isn't quite as good as Goodnotes, but it is better in the fact that it is free.

What’s up Doug 😂
Don't like the iPad. Too locked down and restrictive.
We don't care about your opinion
