- My iPad Pro has been my favorite tech product of all time. I use it for everything from video creation to personal finance to gaming and everything in between. I wanted to show off how I use my iPad in conjunction with my iPhone in my workflow.

You are one of the few ppl that legitimately use your iPad as your main and full computer. I love listening to you as I also fall under the camp of “iPad is my only computer” camp. Keep up the videos! There are plenty of us out that that see the iPad the same way you do!
I have a windows desktop for all my gaming, but I literally do EVERYTHING else on my ipad. And that included video and photo editing. It’s incredible. I feel no need to get a laptop. And even at home, unless I am gaming I choose my ipad over my desktop when I need to get things done.
The software still limits very simple things on the iPad, (I have the iPad Air 5 btw) for example I was taking a simple driving course online to renew my discount insurance, the program had difficulty running on certain steps with the iPad but my MacBook and even my brothers $250 windows laptop ran it without any issues.
Maybe it’s a niche, but it’s crazy how much work can be done between an iPhone pro and iPad Pro for content creation. External monitor support, lumafusion, and an external ssd changed the game for my iPad Pro experience
Is there any signifciant difference between lumafusion and final cut pro for ipad?
@@theFOCUSgummycompletely different user experience. Lumafusion feels like a fully featured video editing platform because it is. Final Cut Pro on the iPad just feels iMovie
@@bigboma good to know. Thank you and merry Christmas!
Hey man, we appreciate you promoting the use of IPAD PRO to replace a laptop. I completely agree when you said that the iPad Pro is the best piece of tech that we will ever use.
A possible suggestion that will prevent having to constantly be switching devices is to setup a NAS with 10 gigabit eithernet+. Files supports network drives, so then youll be able to push and pull to both over the netwrok.
😎✌🏽 Thank you for all the awesome videos that you have been putting out about the “Transformer” Ipad! Lbs I think you really opened up a lot of peoples eyes that the iPad, especially with the “M” chips. Are a very multi-functional kinda jack of all trades, tablet/computer. Keep up the good work. I have the M2 12.9 & use it for some of everything.
I use my IPad Pro and I have a MacBook Pro.I travel 6 months a year.I agree with you and have been looking for a home base structure with the right gear- love your personal set up and will mirror it! Thanks mate!
Great video! Just ordered the Kuxiu Ipad stand, and looking forward to upgrading the rest of my set up
🐬Everyone on the UA-cam doesn't take "iPad as a daily driver" seriously... But i suppose having options is never a bad thing, so Thanks man for all the iPad videos, desk setup n all. I love all of your iPad videos, good job. I can't comment on all videos but definitely watch em All 🙌🏼
Love these videos.
That Ku Xiu stand is your best accessory…to date🌞.
Great video!❤
Love the wallpaper 🐬
I swapped my husband and I both to iPad Pro after the M1 chips bounced, and for both of us it has become our everyday machines. We do work, school, entertainment, just everything on them all the time and they have all but taken over our need to have a computer usage. It is at the point where I am going back to school, purchased an MBA to replace my aging intel MBP, but have used it very sparingly because the iPads methods are so ingrained in my workflow. Not to mention Stage Manager’s updates are just better and better.
Your husband wanted that computer and you ripped it from his arms. 😢
I use my ipad as my primary device. Great video
Made it to the end good video
🐬 I use my 11” iPad Pro M1 with an ASUS ProArt 24” Monitor. It’s great because for work I have a company provided Thinkpad which I can easily switch between using the monitor for the laptop or for my iPad. I think the iPad is the best modern day personal computer, and before I was using a 2013 11” MacBook Air.
Thanks for your video-i use an iPad Pro for home and work…there are some apps that work better on the mac but most work really well on the ipad. I encourage my students to use an ipad as it is more intuitive and engaging for them when they are taking notes (im a teacher)
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed your video. I use my iPad Pro primarily as a content device. Blessings on your day.
Right now, I’m using my iPad Pro M2 as my main computer, is perfect with the exception of when I’m using Google docs
I have been using the M1 iPad Pro as my only personal computer since 2021 and I love it. I am also very excited about the M3 iPad Pro launching next year. It would be great if Apple allows you to upgrade RAM on the iPad Pro next year as I believe that, that would be an area that will benefit most users.
You are absolutely not intelligent. Dumb.
I’m the same way I love my iPad Pro and use it all the time for work!
🐬 As always, incredible contents! Thanks!
I basically have the same setup and I use my iPad Pro for everything now, including most client work as a photographer.
Like 👍 always a well-explained video! 🐬
Love your desk setup bro.
I am waiting 2024 for new iPad pro 11" to buy it, hope the 11" version gets oled display too.
Keep doing good work 💪🏻
same for me !
🐬 Great video, I have been waiting for the iPad workflow video. Great recommendations, I am an IPad Pro only user.
Could you do a video on how you manage your app windows on the external monitor? I’d like to see how you multitask between windows.
Oh no! The stache is back! 😂🐬
I’m not exactly sure how I pulled it off the other day but I actually took my iPhone 15 Pro and connected directly to my M2 iPad via a USB-C USB-C cable and it transferred directly into the loom fusion. It worked perfectly.
Been holding off on a new iPad model to jump into the modern iPad world but lots of promising info here! 🐬🐬🐬
Couldn’t live without my iPad Pro🩵
Been using iPad Pro as my mobile device and preferred device for work since 2017. 🐬
🐬 great video.
Fun fact: Did you know that you can AirDrop with cables? Just connect an iPhone/iPad with another iPhone/iPad using a USB-C cable (or a USB-C to Lightning cable) and transfer files normally. This works between Macs, too.
not true
@@hanspeter24he’s sarcastic
@@ansonkwong432 He's not being sarcastic. It's true.
Yes, it worked perfectly for me the other day
Currently watching this with an IPad Air 5th Gen! Looking forward to iPad 12.9 m3 and hopefully a new design!
Same
My iPad Pro is my primary device. Bought and read the #iPadOnly book years ago. Love the iPad Pro, will always have one and am always looking forward to the next round of updates.
you can bypass the external SSD with a Wifi Connected NAS. granted a HDD local NAS is slower, you can get somes with a SSD. with this no need to plug; un-plug. here the only limitation is how fast your wifi is and if you want to access it away from home is youer internet speed. I use a WD MyCloud, works wonders.
The fact he uses external keyboard and external monitor seems to go against iPad as touch device, it may work but looks like a lot of extra work. Stand-alone iPad is best for me with occasional keyboard use but it does show how versatile the iPad can be if you work at it.
I tried the iPad as my computer experiment with the 2017 10.5 pro, LTE using Google services and it's functional for some work, but after upgrading to the 2020 Pro 11 had to go back to a Windows PC, to this day the iPad it's a better as a companion device than acting as your sole computer.
Great information! Thanks! My 2016 13” MacBook Pro is getting slower & slower. I’m trying to determine if an iPad Pro is a possible replacement.
🐬 i‘m a software engineer and I use windows for programming. Having connected via RDP to a windows vm is nice… although special characters won’t map as good as I wish… I have a DE-CH keyboard layout
You can airdrop using cable now 😊
these aren't tech reviewers they are salesmen
🐬 Thanks - nice job.
06:59 - to select multiple videos or photos just keep your finger on the screen and slide down the the last one you want to select. Much easier than selecting each row like you did.
🐬 Great video! I believe that we are getting close to the iPad beginning to take shape as a next generation device. I am willing to bet that 2024 is going to be big pivot toward that trend. iPad has been low key gaining momentum with the pro apps. Its just a matter of time. I personally use both iPad and Mac. I prefer my iPad, yet there are still a few items that keep my use case from getting to 100%.
I want to replace my macbook pro 2016 with an iPad but my concerns are file management and number spreadsheets which I use a lot. Would it work well?
@@duelibop file management to me to much better. You must disrupt the way you see file management, so it will take some time. The spreadsheets will be a challenge if you are heavy into macros and other more sophisticated spreadsheets. This speaks to the software being 90% there with this blaring 10% of challenge.
Remember we are looking to shift decades of input modality. We have been used to tactile feedback. Now we are into Touch! And next AR. Lots to learn and unlearn.
Good video. I have been an iPad only guy for the past 4 years and won’t go back. Project Manager in Construction and there are just too many things that an iPad can do, that a MacBook cannot do (FOR ME). Sure hope they keep improving the external monitor support as it is still super flaky and full of bugs.
🐬🐬🐬ipad pro gang! Been saying that it’s the ultimate computer since the 10.5 pro
i LOVE this kind of setup however can anyone explain how to do those 2 things simply:
1) excel files without going from app to app?
2) donwload torrents or simply use stremio? any luck?
That's something useful.. Am I missing out very useful iOS/ iPad application reviews on this channel!?
For my own personal use case: iPad Pro for the fun, multimedia and confcalling stuff + Powerful Linux Desktop PC (with Garuda Linux onboard) for everything else….don’t need much else. In fact, I’m only keeping an additional Asus Laptop (with PopOS onboard) for redundancy/emergency purposes.
I use my iPad for work & fun, saves money
I am currently using an iPad Air 3 and an aged pc and thinking of going with an iPad Pro and ssds. I do mostly still photography and general web surfing and texting and emails…. The cheapskate in me is thinking maybe I can get away with an iPad Air 5 or 6 instead of the pro….. waiting to see what the new ones look like and what that does to the pricing of the current units. I am retired and in my 80s so this will probably be my lifelong choice
I need that wallpaper
Does keeping the iPad plugged in reduce the battery health quicker?
Thank very much Fernando! You inspired me going IPad Pro only, thanks!
Question: where can I get that wallpaper you used on your ipad in this video?
Thanks!
iPad Pro 11 has its pros and cons. File management and Microsoft Office is better in my surface pro x. iPad Pro is alright for photo editing, quick edits in Microsoft office, entertainment apps, and social media.
I use the iPad Pro & Magic Keyboard as my main device/laptop, and the iPad Mini for real “iPad/Tablet” functions.
Too much of the iPad as a replacement for a computer discourse is the term ‘workaround’ when I can just do on a computer.
Another UA-camr I watch from time to time regularly goes the three apps he uses to achieve something that can be done with one on a computer.
I have an iPad Pro, I enjoy using it, but it’s not a replacement yet.
Thanks for sharing your workflow. It is very encouraging.
Do you script your videos? Do you use a teleprompter when recording on your iPhone?
This is a great video man. I’ve been following your series in the iPad for a while now and this explanation of how to incorporate it into your daily workflow is fantastic. Is all about removing the friction , one of the things that I started to play with lately is using Parallels Access on the iPad and connect to my Windows server at home and I can tell you that the part of running a full version of Excel is fixed with that. So I can now have a 100% Windows computer + Mac in a portable format.
Do you have a video on how to do this (set up a window server and connect it to the iPad?)? Not being able to run full Excel (and some other windows or even macOS software) is the main issue with the iPad Pro.
My iPad Pro at this point is my main computer. I love it.
1) Do you need to use thunderbolt to connect to a monitor or can you just use USB-C?
2) Does the monitor need to have a thunderbolt connection to make this work?
I know I basically asked the same question 2 different ways, but wasn’t sure how to ask. Great job with your videos!!!!
Thank you for watching! But no, you do not need thunderbolt. Regular usb c works as well as hdmi
You make this video once a month.
I agree for some people an iPad Pro will fully support their workflows, especially with regards to media content creation, but for me my M1 iPad Pro with never be a computer all the time its restricted to Apple's app store wall garden. It basically becomes an oversized iPhone, wasting the device' full performance potential. I hope more countries / trading blocs such as the EU, force Apple to allow side loading of apps on their iOS / iPad OS devices and put an end to Apple's restrictive practices. I am looking forward to replacing my iPad Pro in 2024 with a Microsoft Surface Pro or similar device equipped with Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X Elite processor. This will finally give me a tablet computer that satisfies my workflow needs. Windows 11 arm may not be perfect, but having used daily for the past 12 months, it is a quantum leap improvement over iPad OS.
Maybe Apple can make a $1,000 MagSafe stand for the iPad to next to the $2,000 basic monitor or the $6,000 nice monitor. 😂
When the iPad Pro M3 comes out and depending on the new functionality, I am hoping to make it my Mobile computer with 5G capability. 🐬
I was contemplating getting a iPad Pro before I got my MacBook m2 , the problem I have is that I code python and use IntelliJ unfortunately is not available for the iPad and other alternative apps in the App Store dont allow you to run codes just write which is pointless. I hope in the next gen there will be more coding software available for iPads
Sam I use my iPad Pro 12.9 with apple magic keyboard 75 percent of my workday
I have a 2020 11 inch iPad Pro. I do greatly enjoy using it, but as I’m looking to get a new mobile device this year, I’m very torn between getting a new iPad or a Microsoft Surface Pro device. I love my iPad, but it has glaring limitations and there are many apps that just don’t hold a candle to their desktop OS versions. I still haven’t decided which route I’m going. I don’t want a MacBook because I do want a touch screen device.
I m 3D designer , working with full windows pc with rtx 3090, macbook M1 air 8gb and ipad 11 M1 for 3 years now
believe me no one can replace other each system have own work and for ipad is just drawing take a note organising stuff watching reading briefing. For work please dont push it just bring full powerfull pc and enjoy
My prediction 2024 iPad Pros will come in space black and include the M3 Pro chip along with the already confirmed oled with LTPO. 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 like the iPad only concept, however it’s not ready. I’d watch you more if it wasn’t so commercially oriented.
Now that I’ve transitioned to 100% iPad pro because we have great external drive support and Stage Manager. I have several 2Tb SSD drives attached to my thunderbolt 4 dock and now I wonder if I can plug my powered 3.5” hard drive hub into the thunderbolt dock, that dock has around 16 Tb of storage that would be nice to access from time to time, I need to test it, plug it in and see if it will work, being externally powered I’m thinking it just might give me access. I’m not sure if iPadOS has a drive capacity limit or not.
🐬 I have an iPad M1 Air, use it with my M1 MacBook Air for both work and school.
Is there a way to have Two 2️⃣ monitor support for the iPad and Mac 🖥️ setups
I still use the iPad but I ditched the iPhone. The Apple tax plus the iPhone is $250 to $500 more than equivalent Android phone.
Had to turn off messages and FaceTime on the iPad but it works. The iPad is a good replacement for the desktop for most users. Wait way too long but ordered a Logitech combo keyboard to enter customer data.
Note I mostly use cloud based products but the iPad works for business.
Will I buy another one or go back to the iPhone, who knows. The Surface Pro is real good but the thing is heavy!
I dont have ipad pro but ipad air with m1 I used for like work. Everything online 🐬
I have the iPad Pro 6 12.9 with the M2 chip and think this thing is more than powerful enough to be able to dual boot iOS/MacOS. In all honesty i’m not 100% sure why Apple hasn’t done something similar to Chrome and allowed the installation and usage of iOS applications on MacOS anyway 🤷🏻♂️
If your iPad pro is only plugged into your monitor how do you keep it charged and how do you access the SSD?
🐬 I’m thinking of getting an ipad someday, maybe the next ipad mini or ipad air. The Pro model is just too exp for me, and i already have a mac for my home computer needs
I use it for everything, 2020 model…don’t even have a monitor haha!
What desk do you use?
🐬 Now I may go back to an iPad i'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ which is really nice but does have its drawbacks.
Do you know if they updated final cut and logic to be freely resizable in stage manager?
What monitor stand are you using?
as a medical student doing mbbs which monitor should I buy benq pd3205ua or pd3220u for MacBook air m1
Can the 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 set up like this ?
I would do this but I can't stand how a mouse or trackpad work on iPadOS. I don't like all the snapping it does, and there seems to be quite a bit of lag.
The photos app has an “import” button that appears when and iPhone is connected
Great vid. Do you find logi mouse scrolling in safari on iPadOS laggy. I've read comments on Reddit saying it is? Thanks 🐬
The monitor in your background when you are shown talking is showing the IPad? Looks like a Mac?
Would I be able to do all the functions you did in this video with an IPad Air 4?
No because the Stage Manager feature and being able to connect an external monitor as a second monitor (vs. pure screen mirroring) is only available on iPad Airs with M1 chip or greater.
Source: I used to have an iPad Air 4 and upgraded to M1 iPad Pro.
What is that device you have on top of your extend screen?
What brand is the lamp that is attached to the monitor?
A question I have is: what are the advantages of this setup? A base iPad Pro 12.9 is more expensive than a base MacBook Air M2. I understand iPads for artists and others who get a lot of utility from the Apple Pencil, and of course as an iPad owner myself I understand the utility as a companion device or for light web browsing, reading and entertainment. But you appear to be using this basically as a desktop computer. Why would you spend more money on an undoubtedly more limited setup? This is not an attack or anything I am just genuinely curious what you feel this setup gives you that the MacBook you mentioned does not.
It's simple: he just decided to create his content on this topic. That's his thing. It's fine for creating content, albeit often repetitive content, but it's not fine for many regular users who aren't UA-camrs. Otherwise, it looks like creating obstacles for himself, which he then heroically solves. There are some people who enjoy it.
I don't think there would be an advantage if you only used it as a desktop. But I'm pretty sure he uses it as a laptop and a tablet in other instances. Basically a way to have a single device that does it all.
external monitor support is still 60hz
@9to5Mac what monitor is this exactly because clicked on the link and the only 34 inch is the ultra widescreen and its 1440p only but there is a 32 inch that is 4k but doesn’t look like the one you’re running.
What video editing app are you using on the iPad
