    I've been an Apple fan boy since the pre OS X days and I finally bought my first iPad today (for myself anyway, I've purchased 2 for my wife in the past). And it is a 11 inch M4 iPad Pro as I do have a Mac Mini at home and my work provides a M1 MacBook Pro. I have started out modestly as well with a Pencil Pro and an inexpensive stand is on the way. I have an even older Mac Bluetooth keyboard I plan to pair with it when a keyboard is needed. I actually didn't know that a mouse would work with an iPad. I'm pretty sure I can find a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse that's not being used somewhere in the office. The OLED panel truly is gorgeous.

    I recently picked up the Nedrelow Magic Sleeve for my 11” M4 iPad…I am loving it. Serves as a travel case, Table top mat, and Mouse pad and feels amazing…..it has magnets around the edges so it folds in half with the iPad inside. I also opted for the ESR Armorlite screen protector, which is working out very well for me. Thanks for the great recommendations….I will likely try out the Anker Prime as I hate the outlets in the Hotels I stay in….

    Love my ZUGU case for all the same reasons you like the Apple case PLUS more. It is super slim, lies flat for using as a notepad, offers better protection, it has a much more stable pencil holder (two options actually), and includes multiple angles of stand with no extra bulk …it is even magnetic if you want to stick the whole iPad to something.
    I’ve used one for years now and still holding up well.

    I got the Pitaka magnetic folio case, which is a bit better than the apple one in my opinion. Firstly it looks really cool and you can fold it in different ways for different viewing angles (kinda feels like origami to me lol). It’s not as good as the apple Smart Folio when it comes to the variety of angles you can set it to but I like the design more and it’s about 20 bucks cheaper I believe. The biggest plus for me though is the flap which secures the Apple Pencil. It’s also magnetic and in contrast to many other cases with a flap it actually sits flat on the iPad even when your Apple Pencil is not attached to your iPad. I can’t tell how durable it is by now, I just got it a few days ago but I think the PU-leather is gonna hold up pretty well over time (I hope so anyways).

    The new Otterbox statement case is surprisingly good. I was skeptical that it couldn’t compare to the Logitech combo touch case but I wasn’t thrilled by the integrated keyboard and this year’s material change. Keyboard cases on the 11” can feel a bit cramped, so I plan on pairing my iPad with a Nuphy keyboard and Logitech MX Master. I’ve used Paperlike screen protectors in the past; this year I’m trying out the ESR armorite for average usage (viewing content on a glossy OLED) and situationally applying the Pentips PenMat 2 for times when a textured matte finish is preferred. I have other assorted accessories I’ve gathered over the years to transition to an iPad-only lifestyle but my comment already turned into a yap session.

    Great Video -- I just clicked to this from the "YOU Should Buy the M4 iPad Pro, And Here's Why!" -- I am so torn between the 13" and the 11" - I had the 12.9 and found it too heavy to use in "tablet mode" . Do you find the 11" large enough to multi-task? - I would be using it with 1 screen on websites/pdf and the note taking app on the other window, side by side. I liked the real estate of the 12.9 just wish it was lighter. I normally use my Mini for most content consumption (UA-cam, reading etc.) but want to use it more for Productivity. - was so disappointed with IOS 18. I dont need an MAC OS replacement per se but better file management would have helped. In any case - I appreciate your vides - Thank you

Definitely want the bigger screen for multitasking, maybe some day Apple will have the 16”, 18”, or 21” iPad Pro, and I can have three to four apps open and visible.

    I would recommend just getting AppleCare and not running a screen protector, I’ve tried 2 (tempered glass and matte) and the display was always noticeably worse for it. The displays on these new iPads are amazing, like jaw droppingly amazing, and really the only reason to upgrade from an m1 or 2. You’re doing yourself a great disservice by using a screen protector if you are an indoor ipad user imo.
    If you always use your iPads in bright environments I totally get using matte though as that’s obviously its main selling point. Same for artists with paperlike etc, but you already spent well over $1000 for it so why just spend the extra $79 to enjoy your device to its fullest? I am kind of a casual so take my opinion lightly, I just recently got one of these to learn video editing on the go and still can’t get over how good the display is.

    I get the allure of the Magic Keyboard but I went with a NuPhy Air75 v2 (with "Moss" tactile switches) instead and it's been an amazing experience. I kind of wish I'd gone with the Air60 v2 for a bit better portability but c'est la vie. I can't recommend the NuFolio v3 however, it kind of sucks. ETA: Oh, and co2CREA makes a great hard case for the MX Anywhere 3(S) if you don't already have something for it.

I am going to order the tomtoc case for sure, and am heavily considering the stand you showed as well - although someone said in its reviews that it didn’t work with an iPad that was in a Smart Folio, and I own the Smart Folio for my m4 11 inch.. So I’m wondering about that. Also, do you think it’s okay to use a glass screen protector with the Smart Folio? I was worried that doing so could put pressure on the screen while the folio is closed. Thanks again for the video!

Great resolution on both. You can see the bezel is glossy on both. I have not compared the features of the pencil pro to the pencil on the new iPad Pro.

    The folio for this one is garbage. Upgraded from my M2 11” iPad Pro to the M4 purely for screen. They widened the middle panel, and it now has a more downward tilt when flapped back. Used to hold on my laptop like this to watch stuff, now it doesn’t work.
    Pencil pro is a worthless upgrade as I used pencil 2 for highlighting text. Glad they obsoleted a perfectly fine pencil 2, forcing me to pay $130 for a highlighter that seems exactly the same.
    Disagree with that textured screen protector. It is very matte, and reduces screen quality. It literally makes the screen look worse than the old lcd screens. If using that screen protector, just save money and get an iPad Air, or the M2 iPad Pro.
