I think this is a very specific Problem. When you want to be creative on an Ipad / MacBook. Most people in my view just want to watch there Fav Series on Netflix or Disney but for people who want to Edit Videos, Photos etc your absolutly right. If i would be an Student or Creative Person i would prefer the MacBook over an Ipad.
Agreed - you are right, I think the frustrating part is they have 'iPad Pro' with crazy specs and insane prices when in reality 99% of the use case is going to be as you mentioned some sort of media consumption.. just seems a bit mad, and a waste of money.
I have both an iPad and a MacBook Pro. The only reason I still have the laptop is because of MacOS. File management is just so bad on the iPad. Unzipping files, formatting drives, etc. It's worth the couple thousand every 5-10 years. Great video, you earned a sub. The algorithm seems to be picking you up
I'm the exact same, in an ideal world, I love the idea of picking up one machine and have it do everything I need and be the best of both worlds.. sadly I'm not sure we'll ever get to a place where Apple allows it. Thanks for the feedback Ryan, welcome aboard and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I own the iPad (2019) and this thing is still a beast. I don't see myself upgrading to a newer generation since iPadOS simply cannot compete with MacOS and it never will. The M4 chip on the latest iPad is complete overkill for a device that can only run app store applications. Great video man! Will you consider upgrading at some point?
Exactly, my iPad is an even earlier model than yours and is still going strong - unless Apple want to send me an iPad Pro and convince me that it's worth the price tag I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon!
Maybe there is a way to install MacOS on the iPad through 3rd party apps? Because Apple promised they would allow that right? I really wish that was a thing, and im hoping you could swap between iPadOS and MacOS when you wanted to.
it depends on what you will be using them for, either it being for college or work its all about your major/field. the ipad is still great and is getting better and better and so is the mac, just one is good for drawing and easy to hold if doing a presentation and such, and the other is good for typing and a desk job and a better battery
Nice explanation Brandon - I got the gen 1 iPad Mini when it came out and it was my bread and butter - granted that was 2012 so I was...12 I would say consistently for the past 5 years I go through periods of wanting to buy a new iPad but in the end convincing myself I wouldn't use it
Thanks Seamus! I’m the exact same, that’s the reason I haven’t upgraded mine, plus the fact that iPads just seem to go on forever, I’ve noticed no real battery degradation (it’s a bit laggier, but still very useable) I’d love a new pro to be the most over specced Netflix machine 😂😁
I wanted a mac mini at my desk with an ipad for on the go, and jump desktop to remote in from the ipad if needed, it would be cool if you could have macos on ipad as an option
@@brandonkennedy I doubt it too! I seem to go through laptops every 2-3 years - my m1 pro has half it's keyboard not working....want to see if a mac mini and an ipad setup gives me more bang for back time wise

Yeah I'm sure there is with a 3rd party.
I agree with you that it definitely should be a thing!
thanks. This video reinforced my decision in buying the MacBook Air rather than an iPad
@@joshdax2 Good choice man! Glad it helped.

Stage Manager on Pro line works pretty well, but I suppose the main draw is the OLED screen
That’s for sure, the OLED is amazing for all your media consumption needs
Great video
Thanks Anthony 🙏🏻

Completely agree, I wonder will they ever give us macOS on the iPad.. I doubt it but it would be great 😁

Feels like it's all trial and error, we'll find something that works eventually haha
No WWDC invite for you
