iPad Air vs MacBook Air | 2022 M1 showdown!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2024
- What is up world! This week I decided to take the new M1 equipped M1 iPad Air and see if I like using it more than a MacBook Air that also has a similar M1 chipset.
With the Apple Magic Keyboard and an Apple Pencil 2, the iPad Air is a powerhouse and likely more than enough iPad, but is it more than enough computer like the MacBook Air?
Always out here working for you,
Brad

#iPad #iPadAir #macbookAir #M1 #comparison - Наука та технологія
Not only was this video great and what I was looking for, I enjoyed how casual and under produced it is. Most tech videos are so over produced and scripted. This reminds me of early UA-cam days AND is just as informative. Love It. Subscribed!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This channel is so underrated. First video. And already subscribed.
Great video man!
I got an Apple refurbished Mac Mini M1 plus an Apple refurbished iPad Pro 2018 with Logitech Slim Folio Pro keyboard case (Amazon "used-like new") all for about the same cost of a new Macbook Air. This combo gives me the best of both worlds; a powerful desktop computer in my office for pro work (video editing) and a very functional portable computer when I am away from home. Plus the iPad is a great desktop companion for the Mac Mini using universal control or as an extended monitor.
I think getting a macbook air + an ipad mini would be the best combo. I switched from macbook to an ipad air with magic keyboard and realised it’s still not as great as the proper laptop especially on apps like Microsoft Word and PP, and I hate that the front camera is not in ideal position when doing zoom calls. Also, most of the time, it’s annoying that the ipad will fall backwards because the keyboard itself is not sturdy enough to support the ipad especially when you’re using it on bed or in your lap. But I love the versatility of the ipad though and I love it for note-taking, manga and ebooks. Battery wise, I have to charge the ipad everyday when doing casual work but with my macbook before, it could last 2- 3 days. And if I wasn’t using it everyday, the standby battery life will last even longer.
That is true i have Macbook air m1 and ipad mini6 with Doqo keybaord touchpad cover case (like apple magic keyboard) its super best choice ❤🎉
Great comparison, and exactly what I needed to finally decide on which way to go. For me - the possibility to use the Macbook Air with an external monitor tipped it in favor of the Macbook.
Great video - no frills and to the point. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. Really needed this. Thanks & Good luck 💯
This is a super great video. Have a sub!
Unless it's for work or school, I'd choose iPad all day. The modularity aspect and it's so much more fun to use.
great review
This video was really informative & help me make up my mind which device is better for me personally. In my opinion you missed out what probably is the most important subject for many people especially these days & that is Security which device is using touch ID of Face ID because everyone has their own preference of which their prefer!! & think is better safer ect ect !
Why did you have to mention roller coaster tycoon? I’ve got so much to do, and I’ll be building theme parks for the next few months 😅
Great Video! Helps me a lot since I've been thinking what will be my first Apple product
My original iPad is second generation so I waited a bit to upgrade. My original still works ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA , but the battery is bad and won't stay charged so it always has to be plugged into a power source. The new 10th generation was a great bargain for Prime Day that I couldn't pass up. It was easy enough to set up: everything came down from iCloud with no issues.
Best video editing macbook or ipad tell me bro
Only channel so far doin this type of video
Own both
Awesome comparison! Was looking to replace my 2016 15 inch Macbook Pro which I use as a travel laptop when not working on the desktop Completely forgot how limiting dual-display on iPad and how terrible it would be for photo and video work.
On that the try to keep the camera in manual focus if you are using fuji, it was a bit nauseating to watch with jello-like jitter from the digital stabilization and constant out of focus. For your setup, in the a-roll, you really don't need a high f-stop so closing the down the aperture a little if you want to be on the safe side and just keeping it in the manual would work much better for overall video quality.
Keep it up, always use the site for news and just stumbled on the youtube channel!
Agree with everything except note taking. Writing is definitely better on the Mac and I agree there’s something about writing on an iPad that just seems sweet but for note taking (I know they were in the same category but they shouldn’t be in my opinion) I think the iPad wins. Just being able to take your pencil and iPad and fire up GoodNotes/notability is another level.
Own both but thinking to convert Ipad Pro as Laptop and let go my Macbook Air
You can turn your ipad into laptop by using magic keyboard especially with the new OS update, but you can't turn your laptop into ipad, like touching screen ,using pencil for taking notes, games, easy to carry.
But the fact is the ipad can't do the heavy works like professional final cut and word.....etc
So why no one says all that features in ipad and different of mac
I do have an ipad air 4. I was looking at a new device either the new macbook air m2 or the new ipad air 5 ... i mostly use it for watching videos, netflix, some work in word ... what to choose
Macbook
Great comparison! Purchased an entry level M1 MacBook Air to help kick off my UA-cam channel. The battery is stellar, editing videos is a breeze and learning the MacOS is fairly easy, coming from windows my entire life. Been following mobilesyrup since Daniel Bader days convincing me to get the Nexus 4 😂
Thanks for watching and I’m really glad you liked it - Brad B!
I got the MB Air. Am happy with it. Thanks for your review, it helped a lot.
Thank you, this was a great comparison and exactly what I was looking for. Really I wanted to hear that an iPad Air would be robust enough for the ways that I will use it but still good enough for my work related tasks (not hardcore photo or video editing). I am not at the store yet but I think I will opt for the iPad Air to replace my old Macbook Air (2012).
Hello, did u get the iPad air ? And is it good enough for excel ,data entry and other office work ?
@@monurajput5608 I did, but ultimately it did not replace my laptop. I do not know what it would be like for serious data entry.
The gaming point should have gone for the Mac, there’s Crossover and Parallels on the Mac to make up for the lack of native games, and you have a lot more options for cloud gaming with a controller
And you can use emulators, too
Yeah that's pretty fair. I haven't tried any of that stuff
I like the idea of leaving the keyboard plugged in and using it as a dock. I think I will start doing that.
It's fun! Feels weirdly futuristic too
i got the ipad air 4 last year but im thinking of trading it in for a macbook air... you thin thats a good idea? i mainly use ipad now for watching videos
Is iPad Air not suitable for doing office work ? Like excel and data entry work .and all the other photo /video editing software's on it have very limited functionality?
@@monurajput5608 I ended up switching for the iPad Pro 12.9 m1chip. And honestly iPad Air was great for everything but I wanted a larger screen haha
@@Sawol_ss lol I have such OCD .because some people keep telling on UA-cam that iPad OS is limited in functionality compared to a MacBook laptop .but my heart says it will do everything albeit a bit less ,but it's way better than just having a iPhone . Thank u for replying 🙏🏻I need something for 4-5 years .
I just commented at the guy who made this video that even his hairline looks like a iPhone notch 😭😭I'm going to delete that comment cuz its rude .
@@monurajput5608 I’d get the 12.9in iPad Pro M1 chip if you want something that’s basically a laptop
Hello, I'd like to ask your opinion. I already owned a Macbook Air M1 and I'm planning to get an Ipad Air 5 as a secondary device but I'm contemplating on which storage to choose. I'm just a student who wanted to use Goodnotes and anything related to my studies. I'm not sure how much storage I should get. What do you think?
Hmmm, I think if it’s a secondary device you can probably get away with 64GB, but if you want to store a lot of music and photos and games the larger storage is prob worth it.
get 64GB its more than enough for normal use, a lot is in the Cloud so dont waste that much money for the 256GB. Also you can get an external SSD for 50-100$ abd youll be ablbe to use it with ur Macbook AND the iPad
I think 64gbs is fine, you can easily aidrop stuff to your MacBook and store them there once you don't need them anymore, or upload them to cloud. Goodnotes and PDFs alone won't take that much space
I think your presentation was fantastic subscribe now!
MacBook Air M1 period!!!!!!!!!!
I like the millennial hissy fits lmao
What are those?
the macbook 12 was not a machook pro just an fyi
3:49 No command keys tho rip
12 inch macbook pro?
My mistake. To many MacBooks on my mind lol.
For the benchmark section I wonder if thermal throttle was a factor in the different results between the two?
🤣 this is great
its much easier and faster to get work done on a macbook. It would be hard to write a paper or say write a book on an ipad. Maybe thats just me though.
buy both ......play games with ipad!!!! do other everything with MacBook...
Mac Book air gives you a free keyboard. Sold
Good comparison! One thing I disagree with: making hand-written (pencil) notes is for me an asset of the ipad, not for the macbook air. That would make me switch to the ipad, together with my needs for reading and a bit of drawing.
imagine using a full keyboard on the ipad by connecting it vía bluetooth. why would you buy the folio keyboard case?? the ipad would win over the macbook air
What if i want to replace my old windows laptop? I have an iphone and would like to try macos. Do you think i should buy macbook / ipad?
Same here bro
Editing Video,point to mac
Editing photos,point to mac😂
It should be one point, and for taking notes, its definitely goes for ipad
and for battery ipad pro is now similar to mac pro.
That's following two years to get the M1 iPad Air for the best companion with the M1 MacBook Air.
Boy it looks more purple in this video......
Yeah I think the video is pretty true to life. The thumbnail I did increase the saturation to make it more eye catching - Brad B
@@mobilesyrup Thanks I wondered if it was. It caught my eye!! xo
For me that blue looks more DARK BLUE in the unboxing videos then in apples presentation.
I’m rly tempted to go for blue iPad but I hate Touch ID. And the fact that it has no 128gb option.
If this iPad had 128/Face ID/120gh display I’m going for it. But I can’t go bcs I love Face ID so that’s why I’m going with iPad Pro
I sold my M1 Max for an iPad Pro ^^
How’s that going?
@@mobilesyrup Much prefer using it, didn't realise how much you could do on an iPad, if I need to do more intensive work I've got a desktop.
Can you gift me this I pad air 5 For gaming ?
@@Jajajajanee buy me one plase
stop begging
Dont agree your point in gaming. Yes, both of the devices sucks when it comes to gaming that has limited triple A titles but gotta be honest Mac supports more visually beautiful actual console games because it is an actual computer, iPad runs on mobileish software. Besides it also supports some mobile games on it. I can play Hitman, Dying Light, Dirt 4, Mafia 3 natively on Macbook air M1 and smooth GTA V gameplay through Crossover and the latest Resident Evil soon. Those titles wont see iPad soon , most likely 95 percent never
Hello, I'm stuck between ipad air 5 / ipad 10th generation (logitech keyboard + apple pencil 1) or macbook air m1, both of which correspond to 25k. The results have not been announced yet, but the departments I want are law or psychology. I have collected a solid safe at home, I don't have a laptop or iPad other than that, and I can't take the safe and work with it. Which one do you think I should buy, everyone says ipad is more comfortable, they say there is no cost of copying in terms of presentation and working (as far as I have read from videos and forums) and this photocopying thing confuses me about macbook. Also, I am too involved with computers since I was 5 years old and I can write too fast, but I have no idea if I have difficulty in handwriting with mechanical writing. In fact, both are absolutely necessary, but we do not have that much, although we do not have them, but I will try to take them into account because it is important. Anyway, it's been too long, I'd be glad if you reply. 🫡
