iPad may not be the main device replacement for everyone but it sure does help as a secondary device
agreed
And as a secondary screen as well.
ive had iPads since the first generation. The minis have been my favorites, by a large margin. I'm still rocking a Pro 10.5" with the headphone out. Due to a few particulars, I've had to get a MacBook Air as well, but if they do a Mini Pro I'd be all over it. Being more book sized makes it more portable and useful and less obtrusive. I wouldn't dare whip out a 13" device in the museum to snap a photo and jot notes (or draw mustaches) on it, but the iPad mini is barely more obtrusive than most phones. Whatever the next gen of it is, I'll probably wish it had lidar and instantly buy it anyway.
Just picked up my first ever iPad (5th gen Air). Have to say, it has revolutionised my productivity levels at work. Incredibly useful bit of kit, especially for professional applications. Note taking, emails, project planning, researching etc. The current state of iPads seems honestly incredible, the M1 chip in my iPad Air is really very impressive for the use case. So many of my workflows have been streamlined and I’ve been pleasantly surprised how well iOS works with most Microsoft services and especially google services. There are some things to be ironed with the newer features such Split View and stage manager, but it seems this has more to do with the app developers optimising the user experience. If you’re any kind of professional I have no doubt you’ll find this an extremely useful piece of technology, which coming from a bit of a technophobe, is seriously high praise, This review was written on my iPad Air!
As a teacher, and just like your tattoo artist friend, there’s no other computer that’d get my job done the way the iPad does it. Ever since I learned it could be hooked up to a projector and I could use GoodNotes as my digital board, it completely changed the way I work for the better. That was years ago on an iPad Air 2; now it’s only gotten better with iPadOS being more fleshed out. But I agree with you that some of the features feel frustratingly half-baked when they release, the more egregious example being Stage Manager on an external monitor still not working properly.
that's awesome to hear!
Whoever says macOS should come to the iPad should be getting a Mac. iPadOS is not only fine, it’s the best OS for the iPad, it’s meant for mobility and simplicity, if your “Pro” workflow needs macOS to work, then get a Mac, there’s no need for a touch screen or pen support.
iPad is a boon for me as a medical student (mbbs) since I don't have use of laptop. I can take notes, have my books with me all the time. Can watch UA-cam, movies, and can play games. It's amazing. Best product from apple. ❤
For note taking as a college student, the iPad is gamechanging when combined with the Apple Pencil. However, I’d much rather do most academic tasks (running stats, creating PowerPoints, writing papers, etc.) on a laptop.
Yeah I totally get that, I feel much more at home on a Laptop / desktop for that
I just got a 12.9 m2 iPad pro for school. Imma try to do most things on that, but i have my 16" macbook for things I need a computer for
@@cS-jr8duI love using that iPad as a secondary monitor to the MBP.
If you own a mac of any kind, I recommend going with the cheapest, lowest gen, and possibly refurbed ipad. I never thought I needed an ipad, but for a couple hundred bucks my gen 8 is now my 1) kindle 2) mobile secondary monitor 3) sheet music stand and 4) occasional hand-written note-taking device
My partner went back to university this fall and only had a 2017 MBA. Was a no-brainer to just tell her to get an M1 iPad Air with the pencil for note taking and everything else. iPad really excels at productivity tasks
I think you're bang on with your review. I love my iPad Pro and use it a lot - and for a several months I did have to use it as my only device - but, yeah, there are some things need polishing. One thing I'd like to see on the next iPad Pro is a second TB port to allow connecting fast storage at the same time as an external monitor.
NIce to see your studio assistant, as well! 🐱
two ports would be amazing
Such a fun watch. So well put. Not for everyone but when you figure it out it’s amazing
I use my iPad for digital art, note taking, writing, and media consumption. I got it mostly for digital art and consuming media, but I’ve expanded the usage quite a bit. At one time, I thought I could use it as my sole device. Eventually though, I bought a MacBook for tasks that are more comfortable on a laptop. Though I still mainly use my iPad, I’m happy to have both and have them talk to each other quite easily.
The file storage system remains my biggest barrier to full access of my Apple ecosystem. It's been a couple of years since I switched from PC OSs and I have a decent sense of how Finder works, but on my iPad, I find it beyond unintuitive and confusing. It clashes with my learning disability bigtime, and was part of why I went with Windows and Linux.
I just love your content. Thumbnails are so stylized I know it’s you instantly. You’re very genuine and not afraid to go against the trend or calling out what other influencers are saying. Keep it up. 👍🏻
Thanks so much!
love your content ! i have the ipad pro m1 chip i believe and i use for everything especially for video editing ! i still enjoy having a laptop as well but ipad is the way to go
I loved the rhythmic way you presented your experience with iPad throughout the 5 years 👌🏼👍🏼 I do, like your kind-self, use an iPad as a daily companion to my Mac and PC ☺️
I use my Mini 6 and for everything from content consumption to presentation creation to medical documentation and ordering. It’s easily my favorite piece of tech.
for someone that wants something smaller than a laptop bigger than a phone for taking notes, making documents, simple calls and everything in between that, makes the iPad honestly perfect for me
yep, it's an awesome go between
@@ByteReviewiPad Mini is the only ipad which you would want to grab and hold in your hand with comfort. Possibly the best form factor for a tablet which Apple doesn't develop enough.
I love my iPad Air 4th gen. It can basically do anything I need. I can make music, edit videos and photos, make notes and prepare for shooting a video. I use it as a prompter aswell. It has everything you really need. You’ll need laptop if there is a specific program that is not available on iPad.
As a student, I’m still currently using the iPad Pro 9.7 from 2016. I used it as my only computer until 2020, and it’s definitely outdated but for my use case I find myself bringing it more than my laptop since it’s lighter for the commute as well as better for reading, taking notes and viewing pdfs. That being said, should this iPad break I would probably end up buying a Macbook Air since it can do everything the ipad can except handwritten notes, and the iPad lineup is currently messy for me. If I upgrade to a 10th gen iPad I’m scared that it would be outdated sooner but the Air is too pricey
That's a really cool shirt! Hope it'll be on the website soon! :D
This video made my weekend! And I got to see the 🐈. I use my iPad Pro (m1) for notes, calendar, drawing, video editing. I like the mirror feature and use it when I am out on location recording podcasts with clients. I use ECamm Live to bring in guests and display them and the host on the iPad Pro while producing the scenes on my MacBook Pro (also m1). At home, I often use universal control and sit it next to my MacBook, which is already connected to 2 27inch monitors. I get extra screen real estate with it and can be dry productive. I know these devices are expensive (I also have a 14 Pro Max) but I am a busy freelancer and also teach a few courses at a local university. It’s important to have flexibility and integration and powerful computing. Your videos are very helpful to me in understanding how to get the most out of them. I’m grateful.
Good review
Great video. Agree with your points. Curious - are you using the 11in or 12.9?
I just traded a M1 12.9 for an M2 11. I wanted the smaller size minus the keyboard for a more traditional experience. I'll leave the heavy lifting for my 14" MBP. I wish Apple would introduce a Wacom like mode where I could use it with my MBP for note taking and photo editing. An input mode for the Mac if you will.
Oh yeah, now that would be awesome
I used a 11 iPad Pro for 3 years 1 tb, 16gbs of ram and could not be happier. Wrote, edited in Lightroom in it, and was happy until my external hdd's became unusable. Thing is that due to the file system that does not to expel the disk before disconnecting they began corrupting until they became unusable. Fortunately most of my photos were backed up in one way or another. The iPad is now a travel device and am using the new Mac book pro 14 m3 as my main machine now.
I love that idea to chunk it into SE/Air/Pro models. I get asked all the time which iPad to buy and it’s an absolute minefield.
BTW would love to see a day in the life video of your tattoo artist friend. Her designs look awesome.
yeah they really need to clean up the line up! And noted!
I’ve used my ipad as my daily computer for over 2 years now. Being a store manager of 3 stores in Boston, the ipad made it easy to carry, do my job, including teams calls (which got better when I got the ipad 10). I have a mac mini at home for my main home use. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend the ipad for daily use for everyone. But it works for me.
I use my iPad mini for reading. Perfect size and not locked in to one store front 🙌🏽
I agree with your premise. I use my iPad 10th gen primarily for content consumption. When I'm traveling it works great as a second monitor for my M1 MBP 14 using universal control, but I won't be trying to replace my MacBook with it.
Yep, perfect companion device for sure!
My own experience is that I was able to use the iPad Pro as my main computer from the 2018 model onwards once keyboard & mouse & trackpad were added. Stange Manager and all these other improvements are great and I’m still finding uses for them. I’ve never tried using the iPad with an external monitor, however, because I have never really had the need.
That's awesome you can get by with it alone!
I bought the iPad 2018 as well. 6 years later I still use it every day
My iPad really only has one use as of right now, and that's content consumption when I'm not at home, but in a place where I'll be sticking around for awhile.
If you only do basic things like reading ebooks/magazines/newspapers, surfing the web, online shopping, mail, watching youtube/movies etc. there is no need for a computer, the iPad is perfect for that. I tried using only the iPad as a university student and the only thing I had to complain about was Notion, for example copy paste didn’t work, but I think it works now. And some things felt a bit wierd because I was used to a Mac. Also we write all of our exams on a computer and I don’t think that software runs on an iPad (but you can borrow a computer from school so it’s not really an issue). :)
Love the stand in the video, which one is it?
In general I'd love for a link to the pieces of your desk setup in the videos
Love how my Pro fits into my workflow with different computers and macs. Like you love pencil for writing, editing photos etc. I just wish the atrocious mouse support with the clunky pointer was improved. I despise it. The rest of iPad OS has transformed in the last 2 years. Pro in 14 inches would be amazing. Brilliant stuff
kinda niche use case for my iPad: sheet music for Jazz-sessions and self-scrolling lyrics for rock-pop-cover-gigs. Other than that it within the 6 weeks I own one it replaced my whole analog note taking. So if I could only have one device, macbook or iPad, I would actually go iPad. Even though I absolutely adore my macbook air m1, was my first mac ever and the best laptop I’ve ever owned with this immense power and ridiculous battery life. But then I would need an iPad with at least 512 gb storage, so I would probably go Pro. As a companion device the ipad air 5 m1 so far is immaculate.
As a PE teacher, I use the ipad as my mainly computer for years now. It’s the only computer you can use standing in a gymnasium.. But sometimes I need to type a lot and I used to do that on a desktop computer. But now, with the iPad Pro 11’ and the Magic Keyboard, the iPad is the only computer I need. It’s so versatile, so efficient and so unique, and I almost don’t use my desktop anymore. Now I have 2 iPads : a personal iPad Pro 11’ and an iPad 6 the school gave me. I sometimes use both together (the iPad 6 as a second screen)
My mum is still using her 2017 12.9” Pro as her only computer, tablet, notebook, recipe book, TV, etc. Old battery aside, that model has aged so well - it is faster than my 2019 Air and has longer software support than my 2017 MBP. While the iPadOS certainly has limitations, especially for us used to the macOS workflow, it is still a very capable device for an average user.
I have been soloing the iPad air3 for over a month now and it’s great, if i had more money I’d go for the pro 2021.
Awesome T-shirt!
Thanks!
Been using ipad pro M1 for almost 3 years now and as a professional comic book artist, who also does storyboard and concept art; and as an art instructor, resource speaker and occasional vlogger/video editor, this is a gift from heaven/universe (except for the apps that require subscription).
I pad pros and airs can be a laptop replacement if you don't need the full function of essential software like word or Excel or video editing software or any specific pc/mac software for school or work. However if you need convince and portability and to be able to write take notes use browser-based software and drawing, then it is awesome. I gave my daughter an I pad pro for school work, and it didn't work well as she need full edition word and specific software that they use in class dosent run on it. Also the files system is way under par. I still love my iPad as the part of my ecosystem and use it a lot.
One of the main things I like about my iPad Air (I also have a Mini) is that the keyboard is separate. I bought an M1 MacBook Air when they first came out because the keyboard issues were supposed to be fixed. Less than a year later, the keyboard had to be replaced, and while Apple Care paid for it, the cost was about half the cost of a new MacBook Air. Next time it broke I would have had to pay out of pocket.
I have a lot more flexibility (though far less functionality) with the iPad, such as being able to use multiple keyboards and all the keyboards cost less than $100 (I have no interest in the keypad/cover as I cannot use the cover as a separate keyboard...having the trackpad would be nice though). I also can sit the iPad on a TV tray in front of the couch and use the keyboard in my lab, so both are at a better height for me. Finally, I find a laptop really awkward to watch in all kind of crazy positions when relaxing.
I far prefer having the power of a real computer, which would be the MacBook, but in the end the iPad fits my overall use cases better.
Thanks bro for sharing as always 🙏
One question on older ipad pro. I have a older ipad pro 12.9 which dosent have a magnet in its backside. My ipad stand only supports magnetic ipads only , to attach it.
Any idea how can i make it magnetic on its back side ? I basically wanted my older ipad as a extra screen while working with my external monitor.
And use my newer ipad M1 12.9 while writing with apple pencil.
As someone who can go a year without touching my MacBook Pro the iPad is a wonderful in between device from phone to computer.
I really love playing with the iPad, What games do you use on the iPad?😊
We use it for industrial work photos office etc
I am in the research phase of purchasing EITHER a new laptop (pc or MacBook) and a new kindle, OR an iPad to cover both.
I use my current outdated dell laptop for resume polishing, the random excel spreadsheet, or researching big purchases. I also use it for doing my taxes once per year with H&R Block’s online software. And lastly I use it for my cricut and photo editing.
I use my kindle for streaming video, but I would use it for more but it kinda sucks for everything else.
I’m torn as to what direction to go. All of my old files and photos are stored on a couple of external hard drives and I have a lot of old files on some flash drives as well. I really don’t want to go through the process of changing or replacing all of those. Yet to be honest I don’t really use my laptop enough to spend a lot on a really good one.
I think I would qualify as someone who can get away with only an iPad, but what happens to all my old files and photos? Thoughts recommendations are appreciated…
I use the iPad air instead of a laptop and I have a desktop at home. The iPad is perfect for travelling with for me. I can do basic Office stuff, decent photo editing in Lightroom etc. I wouldn't feel the need for both a laptop and iPad, especially if it was a Macbook
Me personally, I plan to buy an 2024 iPad Pro for professional use (photo editing and video editing). Many of my close friends in my field have mentioned I should do a Mac book instead. While I believe that using a Mac book instead will definitely make my work flow easier, I have always been attracted to the iPad. The flexibility of the device kind reminds me of me.
I’m using a 2017 Mac book air so I’m due for an upgrade. I was going to purchase a new device this year, however I was stuck between MacBook and iPad. My decision fell on this thought “if i been debating whether to go laptop or iPad even with the knowledge that laptop will be easier, I should go with the choice that Will make me happier which is iPad.” Either way I will be getting a new device!
I think the iPad is a great standalone product, and an even better accessory to the Mac.
I also really want a larger iPad. I hope they change the iPad Pro to come in 14” and 16”
I’m using iPad Pro 3 years and its fully replaced my MacBook. I work with music distribution and all I need is ok with tablet. I can edit 4K music videos, wav audio, even edit album covers with my Apple Pencil. It’s on Bionic, but still very powerful and I’m planning to buy a new iPad Pro in one year because very first restriction I found is Death Stranding game which is “okay to be not so powerful to run it” in my opinion. In other cases my Bionic iPad Pro still fine.
Iwas wondering what kind of wallpapper are you using
Big fan of you from India Since 2020
🙏🏻
As a tattoo artist myself as well, the iPad streamlines my workflow a lot more.
What is the brand of your mechanical keyboard?
I love iPadOS and the Magic Keyboard with it. It’s my favorite device I guess. I wonder if the 12.9 inch is better though. However I hate the battery life and I don’t like that I’m not able to run all apps on it such as Alfred, VS and XCode. There is no reason for them not to. I have a MacBook Pro 2015 which is now not supported that I’m thinking if should upgrade anytime soon, although I would like to pay upgrade on iPad instead of two devices always. It’s really confusing in some cases to chose between a MacBook Air and an iPad.
This goes for iPhone as well, but get rid of the camera bump. I hate having to slap on a case just so it doesn’t teeter when laid flat
My prediction 2024 iPad Pros will come in space black and include the M3 Pro chip along with the already confirmed oled with LTPO which means standby. Maybe even better cameras. What I don't know, up to 24gb of ram and maybe 4tb storage. I also think the iPad Air 12.9 and 11 inch will get the M3 and the regular iPad and iPad mini will get the A16 Bionic.
I've used my ipad pro now for 2yrs as a fulltime artist & content creator! it still amazes me how powerful it is considering I've used the ipad since the 1st gen! Its come SO FAR!!
That's awesome! It's such a perfect computer for artists
@@ByteReview it really is!
I have an M1 macbook air and use it all day every day as a teacher. I got the iPad Pro to use with GoodNotes as my digital whiteboard, and I kind of thought it would just replace my laptop at that point. But in practice it has proven an wonderful companion--but not replacement-for my laptop. I think to truly replace my computer I would need to not feel like some key apps lack simple features present on the desktop versions (such as Google Drive not allowing selection of multiple files at once).
Yep, it's those little annoyances that keep it from being a complete replacement for a lot of people
I recently sold my iPad Pro 12.9 after 3 years of being my main device. I replaced it with a MacBook Air 15. It took me so long to decide which MacBook to get, but now I am so happy with my choice. I loved my iPad and it was my go-to device for nearly everything I did, but over the past year with needing a device for work more (coworking / travel / working outside my home office) the iPad just became too frustrating to use with Microsoft Apps, and I couldn't justify having or carrying two devices around with me.
That MacBook Air 15 is soooo good to!
I agree that Microsoft Office is so bad on the iPad, and if I’d need to work on it every day, I’d rather use a Macbook. Fortunately, I don’t really need it, I prefer Pages, Numbers and Keynote and they are great on iPad (especially the contextual keyboard)
Awesome video. I've always been curious-being an owner of an iPhone and Macbook Pro-why would I even need an iPad? The notetaking aspect seems awesome for me, but I'm not sure if it's worth it to get it just for that alone.
I'm starting my own business and thinking of an iPad for the future as I start to grow my social channels and will need to develop more ideas through integrated notetaking apps.
You might not need one at all, and that's fine! I like it for the reasons I stated in this video and you might find it to be useful somewhere too!
Got the ipad for procreate specifically since I'm learning digital illustration and graphic design
Procreate is awesome
Were did you get the monitor riser from?
I’m starting uni in September and I’m really torn between getting a MacBook or an iPad Pro. The laptop is great for almost everything except note taking, and that’s why I’ve considered an iPad because of its touchscreen and also the fact that it can do most MacBook tasks with a keyboard.
Just wondering if you had any advice on which device to buy
If you dont need any specific software like programming related stuff or graphics stuff Id choose an iPad
I don’t need Mac OS on the iPad. I just need a more flexible and functional OS for it. The Files app definitely needs some major work. While I still don’t use the iPad exclusively, I do use for at least 90 percent of the time. Some things I still need my iMac for.
I use my iPad mini every day all the time. I also like the handwritten notes and editing photos, but I’ve also used it for random stuff like as a mirror for shaving 😂
I just still can’t go full iPad os because I need windows explorer to do day to day file structure for photos and day to day pdf files. It’s great for emails, Lightroom, Dropbox but you need windows explorer for copy and paste files to backups and day to day file management. Oh and bulk rename utility program.
Yeah I find the files app just kinda ok at best. I still use my Mac for anything backup related
My thoughts went a bit to crazy imagination, but to me, what I like is two writing pad ----
As for now, among what apple have offered, big one for mind map and serious work (which is now the 12.9, but it cannot be your delicate computer), smaller one is for travel, easy use and inspiration note take that you just need A6 paper sheet (which is iPad mini series).
But I would love to see the MacBook Pro support Apple Pencil, so it become a 14-16 inch huge drawing pad that can also do all the Mac things. And an iPhone ultra that can also support Apple Pencil, so no need for iPad mini, I know it is nearly impossible and will be ultra expensive if apple goes this round.
But basically what I feel a bit uncomfortable is Apple Pencil become the safe zoom for the iPad lines, then they want you to have two computer: Mac and iPad (which can do quite less thing than mac), and apple is trying to give you as many products as possible... a bit chaos to be honest.
I can see iPad doing a lot of things, and it is always nice to have a back up computer if you are a pro, but for now iPad is just not enough to be called as computer for most of the people, apple give big promise since m1 iPads, but it doesn't deliver the promise.
We love you
It bothers me SO MUCH that people say “the iPad is dead.” That’s extremely click-baity. It’s FAR from dead. Even anything, it’s just becoming more alive.
Yeah and sadly you see a lot of that going around, I think those people just don’t have much use for one - which is fine - but it’s far from dead
What’s your recommendation for the wallpaper bound pack? Do you think I should mix between devices or all the same one? Do you I should change frequently or stay on one? Which is your favourite as I see you using the green one mostly. I usually go with apple default wallpapers as they are most easy on eyes and also complications and apps are more clear to see. (I’m intending to buy yours that’s why… I wished I can try it before so I can choose the best pack!)
The green one fits the channel best so I use that one most, I do love the orange and blue one too though, looks stunning!
@@ByteReview just bought them! Which one is the orange and blue…name perhaps? Can’t decide which to use
As a web developer everything I do is stored on the cloud, even the software so I don’t need a powerful computer. That said I love my iPad and the versatility of it, especially with the Magic Keyboard and the M1 chip should mean it stands the test of time 😀
I use an iPad Pro 12.9” as a main device because I no longer need a full computer to run desktop apps for personal use. I have a work computer that is required to be used by our firm for security reasons so my own personal device is my only choice. I love iOS way better than MacOS. It is easy to use, no fuss, operates the same as my iPhone which makes it familiar, gets a lot better as times goes on when more computer-like functionality is added, and finally more gadgets can be used by iPads, like using an iPhone as a camera for videoconferencing. I can use a lot of MacOS keyboard shortcuts which makes using iOS easy and familiar.
I wish iPads would be made with a lot larger screen sizes for viewing media, more space usage for multitasking, and split screen scenarios. They would still be very portable because Apple’s laptops are larger and have shrunk in thickness to approximately similar sizes overall. For people who want to hold these in their hands, then they could still get the smaller iPads. I hardly ever hold my iPad in my hands, but rather use it on stands or Magic Keyboard case. I just prefer to have extra large screens using iOS. Screen sizes of 14 and 16 inches would be great.
*it would be Nice if they could Fix Files as in allowing to import for various Apps or Allowing that. I find accessing my SSD thru files just meh, I can't even import to Photos unless it's a thumbdrive via n App. I understand it's not a PC or Macbook but at least allow it to do a bit more and allow apps to utilize Files or iOS to access those Drives*
Yeah I think the files app just needs a big sort out
my motherboard died and i used my ipad pro 11 2022 for 2 weeks...i coudl do most of it on my ipad but still as a 30 year window user i dont get used to it....
As a salesman, I find the iPad very convenient to use for daily work. I take notes, check and write emails, and present with it. I have the Apple keyboard but find it too heavy to carry it. Also, the iPad is the best evening entertainment device for surfing the web, learning from online courses, playing games, and watching UA-cam or other things while sitting lazily on the couch.
The magic keyboard is a beast, makes it as heavy as a macbook with it on!
If I gave up PC gaming all together, I don't think making a switch to a fully phone + tablet setup would be impossible. The main hurdle would be managing my home server, but with SSH and a terminal app like Terminus, as well as portainer I could (and most of the time do) manage. Another thing I haven't looked into is a proper ios or android app for slicing models for 3d printing.
As long as the evil mistress that is World of Warcraft has me within her grips, this isn't a reality just yet.
Hi mate, just a question. I haven’t got a laptop anymore which i used to use it to add my cd compilation to my itunes library. Is it possible to buy an external cd drive to slot into my ipad pro max to allow me to continue adding my cd collection to library? Kind regards Matty…
ermmmm you know i don't think it is, it might be worth googling though as it's not something I've ever looked into!
11:36 is my favorite part
Correct
4:01 What’s that hinged arm/stand that your iPad is attached to? I’d love to get one of those!
Same! iPad mount reviews please!
@@VitaminSteve I found it! It’s the magnetic stand by Ku Xiu. It’s a little pricey, but it’s got good reviews :)
@@BorjaOjeda bought one on Amazon, and it's great. Freeing up the space on my desk has been wonderful, and its great that it's not permanently attached to my monitor.
And also shows limitations with Mac for me. I love my iPad Pro but need a low performance pc but with 2 terabytes for the master file system. Basically like an old Land Rover defender. Great storage and reliability but don’t need the best graphics or processor so for me to go from windows to Mac would be a 2 grand alt least Mac to get the storage. I really think Apple could do a cheaper work horse with storage as priority so brand new but use M1 chip so it’s cheaper
With a relatively cheap Thunderbolt 4 NVMe case, you can achive your goal for considerably less than 2K.
What is a good amount of storage for an iPad? I have iCloud storage and I just bought a new iPad Pro 2022 with 256 GB.
I have the iPad Pro 11’ 2020 cellular with 256 Go and an iCloud subscription, and it’s the perfect amount of storage 👍
Except if you do a lot of video editing, then you need more.
I need an honest answer for this Tom: is the Magic Keyboard really worth it for a casual user who uses their iPad for work note taking/youtube/ doodling/ file transfers and occasionally Apple Arcade gaming.
I have an Apple Pencil already
I have one and use it a lot, but I do a lot of typing. For your use case, you probably don't need one, and can likely get by with an inexpensive wireless keyboard for those times you need to do some typing.
Probably not, not. The Magic keyboard folio might suit you better or get a cheaper wireless bluetooth one, logitech make some nice stuff!
Thank you both!! ❤ I’ll consider that (:
I got a really cheap one on Amazon and it’s been perfect! I actually had an old version of the slimfolio at first but didn’t like that I couldn’t remove the keyboard from the case so I switched.
If you want to use the iPad as your mainly computer and you need to type a lot, get a Magic Keyboard. It’s soooo good ! It’s so tiny, you can use it everywhere (in a waiting room for exemple) But it you have a laptop and use the iPad as a complementary device, it’s not worth it (too expensive)
Gaming really is the next stap for apple if u take apple arcade make a controller and integrate in into the ecosystem. The ipad pro 2TB 16ram is actually a better buy then a switch. In time it could even be better the the ps5 only thing apple has to do is invest in the game development and maybe bring retros back
Is it only my ipad or is it normal that everytime i write with apple pencil resting my wrist (not excessively) on the screen there's like a black area that forms with a little pressure? In particular where it should be the battery inside
I think I had something that sounds similar to this happen with one iPad I owned years ago. Took it to the Apple Store while it was still under warranty, and they replaced the device.
@@jngarrettart i went to the apple store but they told me it was normal because of the liquid crystals inside the screen 😐 to be honest i can’t see the same problem when i watch at other people’s iPads (especially on yt)
@@SHiBUYA.00 Not sure what to say on that. I think I noticed something recently too on an iPad 10 I saw someone using (in person, so I can’t link a video), but it also went away. I tend to have a pretty light hand when I draw, and I use a screen protector, so maybe I’m not the best person to comment on this as a regular use thing? The device I had trouble with had received too much pressure inside a bag with other items.
Safari cannot even let users use full features of web apps like loom, figma and mural. I am not even talking about super creative use cases.
Team iPad Pro 2018 😅🙌🏻
I have ONE application that i need a Mac/PC for that isnt available on iPad... Otherwise, I'd make the swirch.
As an Illustrator, the iPad has always been my most used device. I have a Cintiq Pro that I almost never use because the iPad Pro is just so convenient. From sending emails, Procreate, keyboard and mouse support, there's just no better device for my workflow. I know this is also true of a lot of other illustrators.
It sounds perfect for this!
Hello from Brazil
Hey from England
@@ByteReview I love your content. it was crucial for me to make the switch to just using the iPad as my main computer. Thank you for helping people with top-notch content
Can u compare Samsung ecosystem with Apple's?
I haven't got any Samsung stuff so I can't really 😅
No problem
I'm already in doubt about the sanity of this individual from the intro! "In 2018, I wanted to figure out if I could force myself to use a crippled computer instead of a real computer, to do all the things i need to do with a computer, for no good reason." Why is this such a common "dare"? Why not "I wanted to see if I could replace my Honda Civic with a lawn mower?" An iPad is NOT a general purpose computing device, you quite literally need a contract with Apple and their explicit permission to do any general computing task on it.
Personally, I haven't owned an iPad for a 5 years stint, and suddenly bought an iPad 5 Air. Revolutionary progress. But anyone who thinks it is less than a crippled computer is a fool, the software is still not that stable. The UI interactions still aren't fixed in a ton of places to support a keyboard. And the pen experience and split screen apps allows you to do somethings you simple can't do on Linux Windows or MacOS, that I really want to do and that are really useful. So that's what I'll use it for.
I think the simplest way to figure out if an iPad is right for you is the following:
Do you imagine yourself using the iPad in a keyboard case a majority of the time?
Don't get an iPad.
Do you see yourself using the iPad as a tablet (whatever that means for you) rather than as a laptop (again, whatever that means for you)?
Great! Get an iPad, there isn't a better tablet out there.
It's all about your use cases and workflow. The tattoo artist's business cases being an excellent example. Everyone's mileage may vary. For me, Microsoft Surface Pro has done all that was discussed in this video since 2013 with a few compromises. The best you can say about battery life though is, "it's adequate (mostly)." External monitor support? I've had FOUR external monitors plugged into it simultaneously making five with the integral display. Bit of a lament MS removed the SP's microSD slot beginning with the SP8 thus losing the capability to add 1 TB of storage with nothing "visibly" plugged into it. In many ways, the iPad has always been best of breed, but the Surface Pro (and Go) are far more versatile--assuming you are not tied to the Apple ecosphere by choice or by training. Good thoughtful video.
I think Apple's hand will be forced concerning more MacOS features on iPads, next year when the Snapdragon/Nuvia 2-in-1 devices hit the market running Windows 12 (WOA + Core).
I expect a BIG upgrade in iPadOS-18 to fight off this severe competition that is going to arrrive next year.
Most people trying to replace their laptops with an iPad, which is a huge mistake. Use it as a tablet instead is the way 😌
iPad needs a calculator app
For me, the iPad just doesnt fit into my workflow at all.....14" Macbook Pro and an iPhone 14 Pro Max does the job for what I need!
Gave it to my kids to watch cartoons 🤪
haha i know a lot of people who do the same
