    Real Estate Broker here…I was a Windows and Android user. Friend of mine suggested I look into the iPad Pro. Love, Love, Love my iPad Pro gen4. Almost completely transitioned to the iPad. Not digging 16.1 makes my 12.9 feel small.
    I use dual monitors, excited to see 16.2 w external monitor support. The cellular service out in the field showing property…game changer.

    Chris, loved that you took this from an angle of your own challenges and struggles. You perfectly illustrated how you utilize this device/apps to overcome some focus and production obstacles that I think we all can relate too. I too struggle with ADHD, and the iPad has so much potential, but sometimes I feel that multi-tasking is my ultimate undoing. Your suggestions with your shortcuts gallery, and recommendations on how to use this device as the best productivity tool allowed me to rethink my own day-to-day flow. I was able to tweak and make my iPad fit my own needs, with your help! Thanks again, and love your videos! Keep em' coming!! -BG

    I just purchased the 11 inch m2 pro with 1tb and cellular. I came from the 2018 model, same specs. I'm a truck driver so I need the cellular so im not using my phones hotspot. I'm glad to finally see a tech reviewer give praise to the m2 ipad. I understand its not for everyone, but for my needs this thing is AWESOME!! I use lumafusion to edit my vidoes but I am curious to try DaVinci. Great review.

    Great video as always Chris! As a full time college professor I take the iPad to work and use it for email, Word (which is much better on the iPad, IMHO), and writing, grading ,etc… I also use ForScore and my Apple Pencil to hold my music library digitally to teach and perform. I don’t use it in the orchestra much (my other full time job), but I love being able to leave my music on the stand at the concert hall (in case something happens and I get sick, I know the music is there for a sub) and being to practice at home. It’s also a game changer for teaching music. One thing- I would actually love a Magic Keyboard Folio for the iPad Pro. The Magic Keyboard is great, but I wish I could fold it back behind the iPad to use it as a tablet like the Smart Keyboard cover. Function keys would be nice too. Thanks again for the great content.

    I like the iPad’s simplicity. The most troubleshooting I ever need to do is a restart, and I haven’t even done that in a long time. I use the Notes app every day, and I use the Photo captions to take notes about places I’ve visited. When I’m writing something much longer, I use either the web-based Medium site or I re-subscribe to Ulysses for something I’ll be publishing. I use Google Sheets, and VN to make Instagram reels. Then for relaxation, I use the Kindle app and UA-cam. (I bought the first iPad back on the day after launch day, and it’s been my main computer ever since.)

    I help run an animal rescue and use my iPad for that specifically. We have to put out tons of social media and market for donations/adoptions, and my iPad works with the iPhone (i specifically bought that to take pictures of the animals) seamlessly. I’m not at all a tech or marketing person, but I’m the one who’s willing so here we are. i have learned most of my navigation and use of my iPad from you, so thank you for making the process less cumbersome than it would have been otherwise. I want to figure out how to edit/work in our website and really work on a storefront to try and maximize income streams. Hoping to eventually get a MacBook to help with that and editing pics. Thoughts on what would be the best value and hold up the longest? Or would you stick with an iPad for all of that? I have the base model iPad so it’s not fancy. As you might imagine, Rescue doesn’t exactly pay or reimburse. 😅

    I ordered an iPad Pro 12.9” the day it first announced in 2015 with the purpose of using to play music. I soon came to love and followed up with getting the then folio keyboard to also use it for work to supplement my MacBook. Quickly I came to prefer the iPad Pro, but in those early days what it could do was severely limited. I watched videos and read up avidly to learn ways to overcome its limitations and increasingly used more for work, and came to much prefer to the Mac. That has continued ever since and when the iPad Pro 2018 came out and multitasking was added to the iPad through split screen, I moved to 99% iPad Pro use and since then only start up the Mac for an occasional task which cannot be done on the iPad, such as formatting an external drive, or updating my Sony camera software. I have come to use the iPad Pro to be the sole device I use to run an international business, pre-Covid travelling around the world. I also use for photo (LR) and video (Lumafusion) editing, as well as for leisure use. I often use 10+ hours a day and now have the 2021 M1 2TB iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard and pencil. Still after 7 years use I love the iPad with a passion and at least for me it is the only computer I want to use. I do hope Apple adds a 14” version - with the smaller bezels today, it would still be no larger than that first 12.9” and that extra screen estate would be so welcome.

    If you are an educator, having the 12.9 inch iPad Pro is an amazing game changer.

It’s be the best tool in my arsenal for teaching and staying productive and organized.

    I’ve been iPad-only since around 2016. Hung on to the 2018 12.9 model until this month, when I upgraded to the M2 12.9.
    I am absolutely in love with this platform. It’s a tablet when I want to flip through articles on the couch. It’s a laptop when I need a keyboard and will be multitasking. It’s a desktop when I plug in an external display and need the bigger screen real estate. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to macOS again at this rate.

    I have moved all my graphic & photo design, web coding editing, youtube video editing, book writing work all to ipad. I forcing myself to get used to it. And all the recent update as help a lot to make it smooth compare to many years before. And now i have completely ditch my macbook. I think our brain will rewire according to what we want. And we will eventually find ways to solve our problem. Before that i export my video from final cut pro takes hours and I couldn’t do anything during that time. Now, it took me only maximum 20-30 minutes to export the same video with ipad pro m1 chip. And i’m happy to carry around my ipad compare to carry my macbook many years ago. I’m grateful~ 😊

    My favorite iPad workflow is to use the ESR 12.9 inch iPad case, which attached magnetically and is the thinnest protective case, so my iPad is super thin and ready to go anywhere. I then always have a Satechi Slim X1 keyboard in my bag, which I can whip out and use when working in a Starbucks or whatever. It’s fantasatic: I have a thin iPad but with full productivity when I need that. The keyboard can also connect to my iPhone for occasional emergency work, and my PC for gaming.

One thing I’ve noticed about using my windows laptop, stuff like the taskbar can be very distracting, simply working on a word document and seeing the internet icon is enough to distract me and stop the work im doing. Hence why I love using the iPad. One app open at a time with no distractions around me. Just me and the task at hand. And all the focus modes to help me not see other apps on my other home screens.

    I run a locksmith business with my 2018 6th Gen iPad and it does everything from inventory to invoicing. I use it for my daily living and have found products that help compliment the use. I have a card reader that allows me to use a flash drive, so cards, compact flash cards and even external herd drives so I dont have to take up a lot of space on the iPad itself…after all, it is only 32 gig… I have been able to find 3rd party alternative pencils from JamJake and a flip screen with keyboard from TypeCase and also a 2 way use Bluetooth/wireless mouse for it… I use it everyday. I am not a content creator so this iPad has completely replaced my computer…takes up less space and is way faster to turn on and start…lol

    Hi Chris, I’m doing the same thing on my iPad M2 for video editing as well as other stuff every single day. I also have MacBook Pros “more than one” which I hardly use anymore. What is nice about the iPad Pro is, you can also use a Magic Mouse. And that’s pretty much was a deal breaker for me to switch to iPad Pro. I have bought iPad Pro since it first came out and continue to trade-in for a newer device when it’s available. So much portability and I just love my iPad Pro because it pretty much do everything a MacBook Pro can.

    I haven't bitten the bullet yet on an iPad Pro, but I watch videos like yours to both motivate myself to put away the money for one - and on the other hand, assuage the frustration at not having one. if I can't have one for myself, at least I can watch it in action on your channel! 🤣
    I do a lot of pretty basic video editing on Lumafusion on my iPad mini. It works amazingly well, but it would be nice to have a larger canvas. Only twice have I actually maxed out the Mini's capability, so that it started lagging and hanging up, but it would be nice to have assurance that this won't happen again.
    I might use the iPad Pro for some writing, and I certainly want to try, but more likely I would use it as a second monitor for my MacBook Air.
    One of the best uses for me might turn out to be Keynote. I give a lot of presentations using my iPad mini, but it's obviously not a great machine for creating a Keynote presentation. I end up doing most of the creation on my MacBook, but I find that really cramps me in. Keynote seems like a very logical place for picking things up with your fingers, moving them around and manipulating the size and orientation.
    So right now, the iPad Pro is in the "would be nice" category, but not at all in the "must have" category. Lots of my work would be easier to do on the iPad Pro, but there's almost nothing that I can't do on my existing Apple hardware.

    • @JJFlores197
      @JJFlores197 11 місяців тому

      Some phone carriers/plans have a limit to how much hotspot data you can use. Even if you have "unlimited" data for your phone, when you share that data through hotspot, it may count against a hotspot data limit. They may cut off your hotspot data or severely limit the speed making it very painfully slow.
      Your carrier has ways of detecting if the data is from your phone or if its from the hotspot.
      If you have a data plan on the iPad, that is independent of your phone's hotspot/data plan. Of course, its an extra expense. The majority of iPad users won't benefit from the cellular version. It makes more sense if you do a lot of field work on the iPad though.

    Been really enjoying these: in fact I just bought an iPad Pro and keyboard last week based on this. For me I’m just looking for a way to get rid of my desktop and replace with a docking station, to do some writing, notes, bills and the like. A dock means when it’s time to work, I can grab my Windows laptop work provides and plug that into the same dock, being able to plug in whichever device is appropriate is really nice, and external monitor support was really what clinched the deal for me in moving over.

    I'm so glad apple decided to bring stage manager to the older iPad Pro 2018. It definitely usefull and make my iPad more like a computer. As a IT professional, I wish apple would add tools like a terminal and the ability to format USB drives so I can completely ditch my laptop. My iPad paired with the Logitech folio touch turns my iPad into a Surface. I've used a Surface and hated using windows on a touch screen, very clunky and not fun to use. One thing I love about the surface was the kickstand and the detachable keyboard. The Logitech folio case and keyboard turns my iPad into a Surface like experience without the clunky windows user interface. I have a detachable keyboard which is awesome since I don't always need a trackpad and keyboard connected. It had a nice protective case and a built in kickstand so my iPad is always propped up when I need it. In my opinion, the kickstand on the Logitech case is far superior to the Apple Magic keyboard. Even though I can't type on my lap as good as the Apple Magic Keyboard lol. At least I can turn my ipad into a tablet by detaching the keyboard and still have my ipad protected and have a kickstand.

    I would argue that there was no downturn for the Mac in general. In fact, through the years that you mention 2016 to 2020 or whenever the M ship appeared Mac sales continued to increase. In the enterprise, the primary mac of choice was the iMac. The 5K iMac was coveted in many office situations. The MacBook Pro, however, did have issues, but mostly in the world of UA-camrs. Most MacBook Pro people are not Final Cut users. I work with a lot of MacBook Pro users, and the whole thing about the butterfly keyboard just seemed silly to them. So I’m just saying that what really happened is that the MacBook Pro fell into disfavor With UA-cam reviewers.

    I really liked how apple implemented the stage manager on iPad OS 16 where you can access the apps by moving your cursor on the left of the screen even though you are in an app that is in full screen mode. This is something I can't do on MacOS Ventura which breaks the flow and pisses me off.

    I use my 11” iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil for photo editing with Affinity Photo V2 and video editing with LumaFusion. I use a MacBook Pro for heavy excel work, and I would love to do this work on my iPad too. Is there an iPad app that offers multiple copy/paste? I use an pp on the MBP that offers it, and it’s a life changer.

    How did you change the iPad ratio when you connect it to your monitor? Whenever I connect to my monitor I have black bars across each side because the aspect ratio of the iPad Pro doesn’t match the 16:9 monitor :/

    Excellent video, as always! I learn more about using my iPad Pro and magic keyboard from you than anyone else on YT. I tried the new M2 Air, but kept reaching for the screen to launch apps or scroll through documents or web sites. It just was instinctive after using the iPad's touch screen for so long. The only reason I'd upgrade from my current iPad (M1 12.9") would be for the rumored 14" version.

    Oh honestly we’ve had a similar experience I think with the video editing. I was using that software for hundreds and hundreds of projects and suddenly when the M1 chip came out I ran into issues. I do think it has been for the most part fixed I am using it again. But because of miscellaneous computers that my team members use, we are already using da Vinci for them. And it’s hard for me to answer questions for them about file set ups because I just don’t use it. So I am having to research and explain methodologies to them. So I ofcourse will be loading it on my iPad as soon as it hits market. I use an Apple Pencil and paper like extensively. As well as a magic keypad. But I also have a reference monitor for editing work that I was loving the external monitor in beta testing. Using in conjunction with a Magic Keyboard and magic trackpad. Thanks for producing the content you do it’s super helpful for all of us using Apple workflow.

    I love the Anker iPad stand. It is perfect! Good partnership. Apple will never port their Pro apps to iPads. They want you to buy both computers, as you did. + Da Vinci Resolved will have only selected features on an iPad. It may be due to its interface and iOS limitations as well. The chip is the same but iOS is different.

    Hi Chris - I've been watching and loving your work for quite a while now. Thank you for everything you do!! I've also been using my iPad more and more as a replacement for my Macbook. However, I still find the Files app leaves *a lot* of room for improvement as compared to Finder. So, my question is do you have any strong alternative app for managing files? And is it even possible, since part of my frustration is when, e.g. saving PDFs from websites or emails or messages and coming into the default save files dialog which inevitably requires me to navigate to the same folders over and over again. Look forward to your thoughts!

    I use mine for research, field research, and the occasional substitute teaching. The iPad as you said was originally for quick field notes and educational activity.
    You could take a photo, jot some notes, & quick sketch on one page and send it to the lab for whatever file. All from the field. (Cellular is a plus but satellite would be awesome) One day …😊
    You have to be careful wanting ports and Pro Apps on an iPad … there’s no fan with the slim factor of an iPad. You’ll melt the chip with processor intensive Apps running. Ergo, why actual laptops exist. Too many people forget an iPad is a Tablet.
    A Tablet that is way too good for itself. 😊

    Is the M2 Pro worth it over the M1 Pro? I am coming back to apple recently. I need to start dabbling in basic video and picture stuff for work, specifically for IG, and I'm debating whether to go for an ipad finally one of the pro models and no laptop vs a Macbook Air to get started. Like you I hate having a bunch of devices and I'm very delighted with my (new to me) iphone 13 mini for my uses Got tired of huge phones now that I'm away from home almost all day on a daily basis. Basically I'm trying to decide whether to go Macbook Air vs Ipad Pro and don't mind the cost difference just never really used a tablet before but open to the change. I carry a lot of gear with me daily so having a powerful device that can fill so many roles really appeals to me. Seems for the Air the M2 is not really worth the price difference, consensus is if you need the better features go pro. Always valued your straight forward opinions. Thanks for your content
