Finally a video that is not the tired, “iPadOS sucks and can never replace a laptop” video. What I’ve discovered is that the main reason people disparage iPadOS is because it doesn’t do their workflow in exactly the same way they do it on a Mac. Spoiler, it’s not a Mac. An iPad would work with about 90% of people’s workflows if they’re able to get in a touch-based mindset. If they’re not willing to adopt such a mindset, then maybe the iPad isn’t for them.
This comment is dead on! Well said!
its not about the workflow or multiple windows at same time...main prb are 1) ipados doesnt allow apps to change system settings like in mac or 2) run in background like in mac... 3) No desktop class browsers like chrome with all the extensions( safari doesnt even come close in extension)...heck i can even use basic app like google sheets in browser.(it runs but nt properly)
so though i have top of the line ipad pro..i still need mac for basic tasks like google sheets and browsing
and ‘its more powerful but doesn’t do anything *more*’ - when they’re comparing to a macbook pro which also only does things ‘faster’ not doing ‘new’ things..
File management is a nightmare though.
The iPad Pro is the only device that keeps getting better. I don’t touch my Mac hardly ever now. It’s my current method of personal computing. I love it.
traded my macbook air in, to pay for accessories for new ipad pro 11 inch. logitech keyboard and apple pencil pro and a second pair of airpods pro
@@gilbertwilcox How is it using your iPad as your main computer because I am thinking about doing the same for college but am scared to take that leap. Planning to trade in macbook air 2020 for ipad pro m4.
@@Alysaklapper I am a mailman, so have no professional or academic need for any computing device. However, i am a bit obsessive with email and try to write or jourmal as much as possible. I don’t use the files much as everything is saved to the cloud. In essence, I’m a user light that just likes the best toys. If you’re doing much more than word processing, drawing and the like you may need mac os, I’m not sure but I did trade in my macbook air 2022? in when I got this ipad. loving the matte screen and also got a screen protector as well, so I can see pretty well in broad daylight in my work truck thus far, not into the brightest days yet. I hope my meandering script helped a bit but again if you can just back up everything to the cloud or can manage with the files app and are just word processing, you’ll be ok
@@Alysaklapper school computer no. Get a MacBook Air. iPad Pro is great unless you plan to use school computers for tests and exams. But if you have a work computer then an iPad Pro is your personal go to.
One of the very few reviewers who relate to who is watching the video and want to advance and expand on iPad Pro.
Christian pastor here. Would love to add something I simply haven't seen engaged in a lot of tech videos, esp regarding iPad: The "Presenter Mode" on Pages is an included feature unique to the iPad (not available on the Mac version). For purposes of public speaking, the app is irreplaceable. In terms of work flow, writing a manuscript, and then pushing a button to have the text transformed into an autoscrolling teleprompter has been a game changer for me over the past few years.
When you couple that with the amount of Zoom meetings you participate in as a pastor as well as the freedom LTE gives you to work on emails etc literally anywhere - not to mention the reading apps (kindle, books, nook, google, adobe, etc) - speaking of the iPad as a mere "consumption device" really just displays a lack of imagination.
100%
As a seminary student, I 100% agree. God bless you in your ministry and service! I’m using my iPad to complete my MDiv degree.
I’m a pastor as well and LOVE my M1 iPad Pro 12.9” as my sole device because of what he says in this video: “It’s a complete and versatile echo system with the Apple echo system.”.
I’ll never go back to a laptop.
Pastor here as well, and i love using my iPad for service operations. Apple Music for bg music pre-service connected to the Mac while also controlling the screen with ProPresenter, Apple Home thermostat, etc. Definitely very useful. But above all, more than the latest tech, it only the anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage! The undeniable presence of the Lord is truly the only thing that matters 🙌🏻
Agree to the idea that it's "definitely for creators, it's just what sort of a creator are you". Thanks for this great creator review :)
I completely agree with his review. I had a similar experience when I upgraded my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 to the 2023 version. The main reason for my upgrade to iPad Pro 13 m4 was the screen, and I was pleasantly surprised by how light the new model is. I could definitely feel and see the difference. While I'm not a tech reviewer, just a regular user, this upgrade gave me the WOW factor that last year's model didn't.
The way I look at it, the new M4 pro is an enabler and it expands my experience and capabilities to create new things. It challenges me to think and explore new things.
Very appropriate title, most reviews out there are from people from one of these groups:
1) They don't use an iPad at all.
2) They only use it for media consumption and web browsing.
3) They are "trying to return to it" to see if it's a MacBook already.
exactly. ALSO the whole "ipados is the problem issue" is manufactured by these apple rumor reddit hacks. compared to what? the surface pro? the average consumer does not care about that.
Yeah, why can't they just accept that Apple is going to sell their two MacBooks at full price and one is going to have so many limitations because 'it's just a complement'?" People are so dummy.
Glad I’m not the only one hitting the lock key instead of delete!
Ha, ditto - it’s taken a bit of getting use to. Glad they included it though.
PREACH!! Loved this review as I couldn’t agree any more! Too many reviewers downplayed this upgrade and said the same things, you hit this out of the park. Love all the upgrades together to make this worth upgrading to if your budget affords it. Lighter vs thinner is overlooked and you nailed it, I like the lightness so much I went with the 11” to compliment my MacBook Air & office set up. A+ for this video, keep the creative content coming!!
Absolutely spot on. Why even compare iPad with a Mac. iPad does iPad things beautifully. Do I need M4 ? Why not. Faster iPad is always better. Tired of people comparing iPad with Mac. If you want a Mac go for it. If you want an iPad - This is it. Am loving my iPad which does all my things as I wanted.
Unlike MKBHD who doesn’t use ANY of the Pro apps and he only uses the iPad to watch Netflix and browse the internet… and YET, he complains that the iPad is just an iPad same as before and the more powerful CPU is not needed or doesn’t do anything for him.
If thats YOU, then get the iPad Air. You have no place buying an iPad Pro.
Software like:
Final Cut
Logic Pro
Photoshop
DaVinci Resolve
ZBrush
Procreate
Procreate Dreams
Triple A games: Resident Evil 4, RE8, Death Stranding, etc.
All of these use the extra CPU/GPU power.
Zbrush is not on iPad yet, Nomad, Shap3r and Velence are amazing 3D apps already on iPad…
I don't know how could miss this, but if everyone who bought the ipad pro only used it for the pro apps, they would never make a single ipad Pro because that demographic is just... not nearly big enough for a premium product like this. The pro features that DO exist, do so on the back of people who have major money and bought it to watch youtube. So telling people to leave is incredibly short sighted.
@@nuggyfresh6430 Really, so you say digital artists the primary user base are not using pro apps? Sorry, you are wrong.
@@aoterou Its already been demoed on iPad Pro and thats besides the point. These are PRO apps and you keep hearing people who don’t use ANY of them complaining how the extra horsepower is not needed. If you even game on the iPad you would 100% see that the extra power is indeed needed. RE4 performance is not the best on my M1 iPad Pro.
@@nuggyfresh6430 Idk how you miss this but THIS is a good example how out of control the consumerism is in the US. Apple has the iPad and iPad Air SPECIFICALLY for people who don’t need all the bells and whistles…. And what do they do???? They spend the extra money on things they’ll never need and then complain over things they never use.
Such a refreshing take on the new iPads! So many people are saying the same thing about it being unnecessarily good. I'm upgrading to the 13" soon because I have a 2017 11" iPad Pro that has served me well for many years. And your statement of the ipad's ability to do more makes you push harder to do more to make the most of it is so true!
“Pushes ME to push IT” 1000000% yes
Ordering my 1tb 13” I pad pro with cellular in space black asap! My 2020 12.9 gets gifted to my Dad who currently has a 2020 air.Winning!!!! priceless!!!🎉
The first minute intro of this video is excellent, loved it! Totally true in the end, that the user of the iPad Pro is what makes it pro, no matter how great the hardware is! ❤
Got the iPad Pro 11 m4. Fills out all my needs. Great video as always.
Well said Chris, so looking forward to WWDC to see what additional features iPad OS will have (e.g. AI, new process capabilities, etc.). Keep up the great work buddy!
Ordered mine. 13” 1 TB coming from a 2018/2020 non-M iPad Pro… I hope it’s worth the upgrade
You have great fans. Many liked your video before enough time elapsed between publishing this post and the length of your video. I happened to see your post at 2 minutes after posting, started watching the post. Helpful day-in-the-life observations about the screen, pencil, and means to be productive. I do chuckle at your daily use - you’re a truly heavier user and need more power than the average iPad user. It’s true it’s a remarkable device and tech. I’m surprised at the advice to upgrade but I get your rationale. Well done video btw.
I'm a big CS Lewis fan, and as such was pleasantly surprised to catch your subtle Lewis quote at 5:18
Yea that was clutch…very sneaky, Chris! 🔥
Came here to say the same!
Amen! 👏🙌
A great iPad Pro review from a real iPad user/fan. Thanks Chris.
This is a really great take on the new iPad! There’s only a few creators that I trust when it comes to iPad content.
While the iPad already do everything I want it to do (with some work around of course), I would love the iPad to have more traditional pro apps like full Microsoft-suite and Adobe-suite as an option.
DailyTekk, You're the best! I just had to subscribe!
Welcome!
Separately, I’ve always seen the MacBook as useless. The best combo is An iPad Pro + An iMac not a MacBook + iMac 😂
Absolutely - my favourite combo too. And they work great together with Universal Control
Or a Mac Studio plus whatever display you want if you need the extra power in a Mac
Why not just offer macos as cloud subscription for the ipad for tasks needed - maybe even on-device compute powered.
I'm a new subscriber and I really appreciate your thoughts. I just purchased the new iPad Pro 11, with 1T, and have been bombarded with videos basically telling me that I wasted my money and should have purchased a MACbook. To me it's not either/or. I've been using an iPad for years for work, along with my desktop, and the two are complimentary. Plus I carry the iPad with me everywhere, so the lightness is appealing. It was refreshing to hear a review from someone who loved this device and made me excited about my purchase all over again. Thank you for the video.
My biggest issue with ipad is iOS and especially the mail app. The way it deals with attachments is so frustrating: I just want to see attachments under the subject like all mail apps. Please fix this Apple.
Currently using the new m4. I upgraded from the first generation pro and i feel like i am working in a whole new universe!!!! Obviously my jump is night and day, but the device is awesome. I will say my iPad does get hot, but not to the point where it feels like it’s burning :) I really enjoyed this video though.
Absolutely love this review. I just bought the 13 inch pro as an upgrade from my 2018 pro (3rd generation pre-M1)…WOW. I appreciate all of your reviews..thanks!
I'm looking to make this same move - 2018 Pro (3rd gen, pre-M1). I don't use the keyboard, mainly use it for content consumption. Has the upgrade been worth it for you?
“Worth it” is tough, because it is certainly expensive. But, it is beautiful, fast and definitely future proof for a while. I am also hoping the software makes some leaps forward in June!
Update to my response. I have been using as much as possible as my only device… at end of today, I went back to my 2020 M1 MacBook Pro. I cranked brightness all the way up… I couldn’t believe how dim the screen looked after using iPad Pro all day. It was remarkable.
The screen is to die for. That panel is just as color accurate as a Flanders scientific XMP550. Granted not as bright as the XMP550 at 2000 nits peak, but also not 20 thousand dollars. To have enterprise grade color accuracy in the palm of your hand is a great feeling as a digital artist. Not even an apple fan, but this was my first.
I just upgraded from the IPad Pro with the A12Z chip. I’ve loved it, as a graphic design artist I definitely gain an advantage using the iPad Pro and I think your review is a breath of fresh air. I’m tired of everyone complaining about wanting the iPad become a MacBook. Do we need a fast m4 chip? No not really but we do need the Apple Pencil, and all these upgrades are nice to have like the new OLED display. I have the m1 MacBook Pro but still to this day I used my older iPad Pro WAY more than my MacBook for my professional work.
Good stuff, Chris. I have the 1TB 11” and loving it. This video explains why. Cheers!
Do you think eventually, if not already, iPadOS is considered a legit computer operating system? You can do everything on it a computer can... do we really need Mac OS on it?
Terrific!! Thank you for such a concise and informative video!!!! Can’t wait to purchase the M4!!!!
To your point, this new M4 iPad Pro is an upgrade, and i would add, for the right user. My Granddaughter creates drawings using Pro Create (she’s into Anime) and currently uses the 12.9” M2 iPad Pro. I can definitely see the improvements here to this new model that would benefit her. However, I have the 11” M1 iPad Pro from 2021, and i use it in conjunction with my MBA and iPhone. For myself, i can’t see the necessity to upgrade at this time for the way i use mine.
I had iPad pro 2018. I waited for this update. I turned it in for 11 1TB, M4 with Keyboard and pencil. Glad to finally get an updated one.. Regular screen added paperlike. Have Logic. Downside -I use Logic pro for over15 years. Lost in the iPad pro version. Oh yes, plus the MS office suite. My new travel Computer.
Chris, did you buy the 1 TB model? Trying to decide if I need that or not.
@mkbhd This is how an iPad Pro user uses his iPad Pro. It’s not a MacBook clamshell style computer. It’s modular it’s new it’s touch based. It’s better than a MacBook imo. I hate how all tech reviewers think iPads are lack luster or a watered down version of macOS. Is two completely different devices. Someone needs a video to explain this and call out all other tech reviewers.
YES! A thoughtful review of iPad Pro by an actual iPad Pro user!🎉
Waiting impatiently for the new Mini. The more reviews I see of the new iPads, the more upset | get that it wasn't included this time. I'm sure l'm not the only one.
Thanks, as always, for the content.
I think people need to be honest with themselves; are you a creative or a consumer? iPad Pro will really help creatives, where a cheaper iPad will work great for consumers. You don't need the latest shiny thing unless you have an actual use case for it. I love my M1 11 inch iPad Pro but use it mainly for watching content. I could have saved some money by getting the iPad Air and still have been just as happy. Having said all that, I love Face ID, it just makes sense to me. Great video, Thanks.
Agree. This Pro is a capital purchase for pros -- a machine for making stuff, and eventually, making money. If one wants a kitchen streaming toy that also surfs, then an Air - or plain ole iPad - would be a better pick.
I use my iPad Pro for reading, taking notes, checking emails, filling out and signing documents, web browsing, watching movies and TV shows from my library, Netflix and Disney Plus, and a little gaming. Having the extra RAM, pro motion, and extra speakers is really nice. Plus I like using the Apple Pencil pro. I have the 11 inch model which is also lightweight and great for travelling.
Definitely a consumer and use my mini 6 strictly for watching content.
Let people do what they want.
@@michaelhall9146every reason that you listed is not for having an iPad pro. If you don't have any professional work to do on it. It's your money. You can spend it how you wish, but you're just spending a lot of money for a media player if you're not using it for your job
I had the ipad Pro 13 for like a week and use it exclusively to create a new ecommerce website from scratch: Python coding, logo design, product label design, photo editing for the product photos, illustraion, ERP management for the business, etc. etc. Everything you can do with a computer can now be done with an ipad, but it’s done differently. Some apps aren’t fully featured yet, Photoshop for the ipad feels like an afterthought. Anything the ipad can do, the Mac can do it faster. It’s the biggest problem.
Wow, man, you're so productive. Imagine if you had bought a Surface Pro instead of a limited iPad. You probably would have finished your e-commerce website already. You could do so much more and not just dream and wait for the 'full iPad apps.'"
@@EibrahamCx I usually finish one site in about 8 hours. Using the ipad, it's about the same time too. I have surface pro 9 and 10, those aren't as good as the ipad to be honest.
Getting my daughter iPad pro M4 as a present to replace her still functional (but limited) 1st gen iPad pro. Im excited for her. Thanks for the review.
Just unboxed my new iPad Pro m4! Had to upgrade after accidentally breaking my m1 😅 Excited to dive into all the new features and share my thoughts soon
I love the new iPad Pro M4, keyboard and Pencil Pro. Love the bright display,beautiful display, speakers, thinness. Magic keyboard feels great, and the funtion row is what ive been waiting for. I preordered a Dbrand skin for my keyboard, thats always been my biggest complaint with it, it just feels like it gets gritty feeling. Ive tried a MacBook Pro before, and i jsut dont like the experience, and not having touch screen.😊
Chris, you are seriously the best Apple tech UA-camr! Keep it up, and thanks for your amazing content!
The only things I find it worth to buy iPad Pro over other iPads are, portability, Magic Keyboard, Pencil Pro for note taking, video calling with teams/zoom, document scanning & whatever I did on my iPad Mini (like web-surfing, document signing, gaming, universal control from Mac).
The iPad Air can do many of these things but only things that kept me away from are price, weight and ergonomics.
Spectacular intro, Bravo!
🙌🏻
iPad is the ultimate hybrid device. People need to stop comparing it to the Macbook it doesnt exist to be a Macbook clone. It exists to be an inbetween device for people that dont need a full blown desktop OS. With that said you could easily use it for video production via final cut if you are an independent youtuber and do talking head videos.
Loved this review! Lots of reviews saying the old “it’s still the same for web browsing, watching content and replying to e-mails” and being “limited by the software”. While there is an argument for the software side, I feel like the iPad’s capabilities, which were really well exposed on your review, are being overshadowed by comments and mindsets that are wanting the product to be something that it clearly is not (a Mac). I traded in both my MacBook Pro M1 and a 2020 iPad Pro for the new M4 11” with the magic keyboard and Apple Pencil Pro, I realized that everything I do (music recording, video/photo editing, productivity plus basic computer stuff), I can now do it all on the iPad. Same way as a Mac? No, but it can be done, it’s all just of a learning curve like mentioned. The potential of mobile computing is catching up and I’m excited.
I love mine, great compliment to my macbook pro. When I travel, the iPad is all I need.
I have been using my 2018 12.9 inch iPad Pro everyday since I got it. I just upgraded my MacBook Pro last year from the 2009 13 inch MBP to the 16 inch 2023 M2 MBP. I was on my MacBook today and accidentally touched the screen like it was my iPad smh 🤦🏻♂️. 😂 I will say though, I tried the Apple Universal Control feature, and was blown away. It works so well for me.
Man, what an intro! I love your scripting. Keep it up! 👏🏻
Hey thanks!
Dude, that was one of the greatest UA-cam openings ever- nice job if you came up with that yourself.
Look at the back metal of the iPad from an angle. They all have rippled metal since they are so thin. It makes them look like they are dented straight out of the box.
Wow that introduction was everything. Thanks Chris ❤
In hearing you talk about your three-device setup, I can’t help but think that we are coming closer to device convergence. One argument for the iPad is that convertible laptop/tablets end up being neither a very good laptop nor a very good tablet. I think the Microsoft Surface comes close, but I think you are right about letting the iPad be the iPad because it is a focused product: the very best tablet possible. But it might be nice to have fewer devices or maybe one device that can do it all, and I think Apple hardware and Apple silicon are bringing us closer to the point of possibly having a device that can actually be the best tablet and the best laptop. The M4 power and the great industrial design are taking us there. Thanks for the great review.
Along with your suggestion that there are different kinds of iPad users, your opinion of the value of the upgrade also depends on what you are upgrading from. In my case, I have a 2nd gen iPad Pro (12.9 inch) from 2017 and the M4 version is dramatically worse in audio quality. It took me a day or two for this to fully sink in, but since I listen to the speakers in the iPad quite a bit, the new one is borderline unusable for me. The sound is hollow and muddy and just a lot worse than my 2017 model. If I listened through headphones none of this would matter, but this is my portable video and audio device and I need the audio to not suck. The big upgrade I would ask for is to add back in the thickness that was removed to hit 5.1 mm. And focus on the sound quality, it is important.
I have always used my iPad Pro as my mobile device instead of a MacBook. I have a mac mini with studio display at my home office. I got the new 11" iPad Pro to replace my 12.9 M1 iPad Pro because I find the 12.9/13 inch so heavy and unwieldy. Now I don't have to sacrifice screen quality with a smaller iPad Pro.
My M4 iPad Pro 13” 1TB nano screen just delivered - did I need it really, to replace my M1 12.9”, no. But for travel I always take my iPP as my work device, leaving my Surface laptop at work given its terrible battery life. The M1 just doesn’t get me through each day without battery issue, so the new M4 should be a big benefit, which I’ll use in the next two weeks before my week of travel and daily presentations. Super excited to see how it performs.
Camera and mics are shockingly good...there are certain things Apple does really well...build quality, sound, screen...
Totally agree Chris- made a big difference in my daily use. Btw- I pair with 13” m1 MacBook Pro and pro pencil What a pair!
*« Specs do not matter. »* oh yeah, if you do not use it for what it can let you do (to the max). For the Netflix watchers, this is not the product unless they just have money to burn.
...or simply want the best iPad because they will keep it for 5-7 years, want the best experience, and are willing to pay $400 more over that time period. It is so future-proofed that iPads are a bargain if you keep them for 10+ years. The M1 iPad Pro is three years old and is still a beast. Look at the best Galaxy Tab S7 (SD865, LCD, no longer getting updates) from the same period and realise how paying more and getting the best means your device can even beat out 2024 Android Tablets!
Outside the haters
The apply pencil pro is a marvel that will inspire creativity with third party application
Can we really say the same happens with Andriod Apps ❤
Hi Chris, I have the 12.9” iPad Pro M2 & LOOOOOVE my iPad however, recently I lost (it died actually) my MacBook Air. I cant complain, it was 13 years old 😂. Anyway, I haven’t replaced it because my Apple ecosystem is my Big Mac (27”) & iPad Pro but the challenge I face is working on my iPad Pro to edit our websites. Our host is Siteground & I build our sites with Wordpress & Elementor. I needed to do some edits recently away from the Big Mac & found that the edits weren’t saving on the iPad Pro. I have searched everywhere for a solution & check in on your videos from time to time so if I am missing something, I would greatly appreciate a little push in the right direction. Thanks & love your videos. You’re a gentleman & good guy for providing so much value to our community. 🎉 C
A real professional: "you should upgrade because I dont just enjoy the old one like I used to.."
The reason so many of us talk trash about iPadOS (not the iPad) is because we can't perform proper multitasking, including running background services, even though the hardware can support it. We can't have multiple apps watch a single file in shared storage. Simple development workflows don't work on the iPad. Ever since we got Apple Silicon on the Mac, I stopped buying iPads hoping for the software to be unleashed. I don't want iPadOS to be macOS, but at the same time I know that iPadOS is being purposely constrained, which is just sad.
If you can find a way for this to happen on iPadOS, then sell it to Apple. iPadOS was built from the ground up to be a new secure OS with sandboxing, so it is not going to have total access for the Finder, nor will it have multitasking like macOS as it works differently, with apps being jetsam when the RAM limit is reached. Barring a total rewrite of iPadOS, this will not change. As those requesting this are a tiny minority compared with the 700 million iPads sold, there is no upside for Apple; it is just expense, hassle, and likely failure.
@@andyH_England Actually no. iPadOS, forked from iOS (originally iPhoneOS) used all of the underpinnings of macOS (formerly OS X). Darwin controls the multitasking, and iPadOS can perform all of these operations, but it's purposely been hamstrung because of the original battery and processor limitations, which no longer exist. The same goes for APFS, and the Unix directory structure, which is the same as that on the Mac, just locked down.
@@andyH_England Please don’t talk about what an iPad was MEANT to be. It was not meant to be a Pro device at all. It was not meant to be a 13 inch device that would be so ridiculously large that it would NEED a keyboard accessory to be useful to most people. The 10 gen is more akin to the iPads original purpose than a 13 inch iPad.
The iPad has PRECISELY the same compromise that Apple fans say the Surface has in reverse.
Just as the Surface is a pc that is rightly called a compromised tablet, the iPad Pro is a compromised laptop.
Do we need a touch friendly MacOS? No.
But would a dual boot iPad Pro that COULD run iPadOS or MacOS be FAR BETTER than what we have now?ABSOLUTELY!!!
THE ONLY REASON THIS OBVIOUS ULTIMATE DEVICE IS NOT IN MY HAND RIGHT NOW IS APPLES DESIRE TO SELL US 2 DEVICES NOT ONE.
I will close with the question that I ask everyone who defends Apples decision.
Given the opportunity to buy a dual boot iPad for the same cost would you choose what we have now?
If you say you would choose what we have now you are lying.😅
Great to see an iPad-first review. I'm getting sick of "but it doesn't run macOS" reviews - so annoying.
I purchased the 11 inch iPad Pro to watch cartoons and Bigfoot/UFO documentaries. Works great watching Foghorn Leghorn and Rocky and Moose. Stunning product!
With your videos IConstantly get twisted to buy the new iPad. Great work mate. Thank you very much for your work for your videos. They look fantastic.
Thank you! The average UA-camr review does not get it becasue this device does not fit their workflow and are dismissive of anything that dose not cater to them specifically. But talk about anything video content related and boy is everything spoken in exagerrated biblical terms. But hey, they hold the bully-pulpit so th world revolves around them, so it's great to hear fromm the folks who actually use this device for it's intened use and appreciate even little quality of life improvement. Holding it your hand for extended periods of time, looking at the screen for expended periods of time and finally being able to use it for rendering graphics among other things are all huge improvements in my books.
I am an artist that needs sketching on my device so MacBook doesn’t do it for me. As a result, I use Surface Pro as my main away from desktop productivity device. Have been hoping for a MacOS hybrid on iPad Pro so my ecosystem could just be Mac Studio for desktop with iPad Pro as my away from desktop everything productivity device. I have been resisting so far since my Surface Pro 8 does it all even though Surface Pen not quite up to the ease of Apple Pencil. This is why I watch this type of video. Will wait until this fall and maybe upgrade to Surface Pro 11 instead of iPad Pro M4.
Great video as always! It does feel different. The keyboard is sleeker and wow, the ipad is really fast and responsive and I like that. Mostly cuz time is short.
This is the best review I’ve seen on the new iPad.
This video completely sold me this iPad 💕 thank you!
For me, I'm an artist so I use the iPad for drawing but for anybody else I don't see how an iPad would be very efficient to do anything else. It's just a big phone so you can't really use PC programs on it. And everything besides drawing just takes longer on an iPad compared to a PC or laptop. Editing music or videos with the apple pencil is slower than using keyboard. Shortcuts
Love your videos on iPad - been a long time viewer and always thought “i could never displace my Mac Air with an iPad” - purchased the new 13 inch iPad Pro and have not opened my laptop for one week! the whole new package is great - I’m not a creative (work more from Office 365) so I don’t see the need for the pen in my use case - but the screen, the “lightness” and the beautiful keyboard have really elevated by adoption of iPad Pro. Looking forward to what they do with iPad OS18! What are your thoughts on iPad OS18?
I’d love to see that video on the advantages of the 13” screen over the 11”…
Enjoyed the introduction! And I am fully on board with your thoughts on the keyboard... although, I wish it was compatible with previous generation iPad Pros. Apple knew this going into the process... I would upgrade for the keyboard alone!
My big query, is regarding RAM Nearly all tech reviewers state, that if you are doing photography/video editing etc on a macbook, 16GB RAM is a MUST What about these new iPad Pros? Is 8Gb on a 512 GB drive sufficient?
I disagree. To recommend upgrading a product to another, one has to have pushed the older to the limit and assure that the new one exceeds that boundary. Is gaming, editing, consuming media or video conferencing limited by the old hardware? If yes, how does it is improved by the new one? Tech has become insanely expensive (especially outside the US), and programmed obsolescence has to be worked around.
This review is interesting. Rarely do I see people appreciate iPad in its current form. I appreciate it too and the power it has for 3D content is amazing. I just wish more premium games were on there and more 3D apps that supported MikuMikuDance files
I want to learn to create and I love it so far. So much to learn but I’m totally in. BTW I’m 75 years old!
Why does the conversation about professional applications often focus on video editing? What about architects? They require professional-grade software such as AutoCAD. Apple is overlooking a significant customer base. **and construction management apps
I have an iPad 2018 6th Gen, so I guess this 11" iPad Pro is a nice improvement :D I'm still trying to find reasons to stick to the air, but the 120Hz, the 4 speakers and the longevity of the M4 are moving me to Pro. I'm going to use it for multimedia, internet, NOT for gaming, but I'm going to use it for virtualizing a Linux machine, for some specific remote work, which require a desktop environment with VPN and a browser (that's why I'm thinking about UTM with Debian 12 with XFCE).
Hope they bring back the keyboard folio case it’s my favorite
That opening hook - the first 45 secs - chef's kiss 🤌
I’ve watched so many videos about this iPad, and most of them basically write themselves: Powerful new hardware, but it still runs iOS, so it can’t do anything really productive. Meanwhile, I’m sitting here doing more with this iPad than I’ve ever been able to do and it has changed my workflow pretty dramatically. Thank you for this video. It’s great to see somebody who understands that it’s not supposed to be the same as a MacBook, but that’s a strength if the user has the vision to see it as more than a one-to-one laptop replacement.
Wasnt going to listen to anyone elses review but yours man! Lol not even MKBHD.
I’m a big iPad Pro fan and love your videos! Thanks, Chris! Are you still a Logos user?
Logos Bible Software?
@@Andy-rc9db yes.
@@bwolverton Ah, didn’t expect to bump into other Logos users here! I’m a big user of that software and, in fact, it’s that software that still keeps me tethered to a desktop computer. The iPad app has come on leaps and bounds, but it still doesn’t match the functionality of that desktop experience (imo).
@@Andy-rc9db I totally agree and I am in the same boat with you being tethered to my MBP to get the full functionality of Logos. It’s the last straw I need to go fully iPad Pro. I think their web app is better than the iPad app. I hope they take advantage of the power of the M4 in the iPad to make the app identical. I’m a pastor so I’m using Logos weekly for sermon research/writing.
It’s good for some creators but it seems like 3d asset creators & modelers are still being forgotten about. 3-D printing slicers, CAD programs, blender, applications, etc. only run on macOS, PC, and occasionally Linux.. Hopefully, we get some good news at WWDC regarding the ability to run macOS applications.
My M1 Mac ran those applications with ease, so it’s weird for the M4 iPad PRO would be so limited and incapable.
Your review doesn’t really make any sense to me.
What’s so different about the M4 iPad Pro that you couldn’t do on the 2018 iPad Pro?
All the apps you mentioned can also be done on the 2018 model. Your argument that it’s only for creators can also be applied to the 2018 model.
What’s the need for an upgrade?
Thinner and lighter? HDR Screen? Apple Pencil Squeeze? More powerful M4 chip?
Why should HDR OLED screen matter if I was a video creator or an illustrator? What other screen devices out there other than the M4 iPad Pro uses OLED that people will be viewing my work from?
Since I can already do those same things you mentioned on the 2018 iPad Pro, I see no point of upgrading.
Let’s be real. Most people who uses an iPad, are not creators. After a hard days of work, they go home and want to relax and chill. That relax and chill means going on UA-cam, Crunchyroll, Netflix and etc.
What a great opening on this video. Very thought provoking. I’m still on the 4th Generation iPad Pro 12.9. Procreate is the most important app for me. I still don’t know if I need it but boy do I want it.
Great video thanks! I think Paperlike are wrong about the nanotexture display. It is amazing to write and draw on with the Apple Pencil. All the note takers and illustrators I know are getting that option. It’s also so much better using gestures on the screen. Definitely try it out before you buy. Shame it’s only available on the higher end iPads.
well, everybody seems to be quite happy to drowl on and on and on about the amazing iPad and I was considering buying one the problem is not a single reviewer has talked about the problem with the front camera way too many people on Reddit are talking about sending their iPads back thinking their front camera was broken. It looks so bad only to receive the replacement that has the same problem. I use the front camera on my current iPad constantly so I would appreciate it. If at least one of you reviewers quit talking pie in the sky and addressed the big gorilla in the room which is the front camera on the iPad that was moved to landscape position. I don't know what's going on, but it doesn't seem good with so many people thinking their front camera is broken. This is a real problem. This is what will make her break this new iPad Pro. Could you please address it because it doesn't seem like any of the other reviewers want to do so maybe they don't wanna talk bad about Apple, but people considering buying the iPad deserve a real review about the issues in the problems. We all know how great iPads are it's why I own one, but I'm not gonna upgrade if I'm gonna be disappointed in the front camera like so many people found out could you please address this thank you in advance
One week in, and I’m regretting going with the silver.😩
thanks for the video. With all due respect, I think your set up is a bit overkill. You need a Mac, MacBook Pro and an iPadPro M4 at the desk to get your work done? And then you say let's not forget about the iPhone?.....Your videos are sounding way too much like an Apple Ad.
That is how most people see an iPad as a complimentary device to their workflow. I am ever surprised that people continue to ignore this and fret about a 2-in-1 hybrid that MS tried with W8 and failed so badly that it became irrelevant in the tablet market.
No way Apple will try and repeat history, and they say just as much every iPad release...the iPad is not there to take away the sales of a Macbook as that is the dumbest business model anyone could come up with!
@@andyH_England most people forget that the reason why Apple makes the decisions that they do comes to the bottom line-money. I was just watching a video on UA-cam today where an individual from the UK in his video was saying that specs sell more products than software, regardless if the specs can be used to their potential. Unfortunately, that tells you a little bit about the negatives of consumerism, that you don’t have a lot of people that are making truly informed decisions before they buy. I really do believe that Apple could implement virtual macOS machine on the iPad, and make it a monthly subscription for those who wanted to use it.
As someone who has all those devices and uses them all in varying ways I will say the new M4 IPad Pro is a fantastic complimentary machine to my M3 MacBook Pro… did I need it? Probably because it gives me greater freedom to work and my 2018 IPad Pro was starting to really show its age… My machines make me money but fully accept that some people buy for the sake of buying… I buy when I need to and for me the M4 IPad Pro is a worthwhile investment that gives me more flexibility and freedom…
@@4scottishdogs How was the 2018 showing its age?
Tired looking, slowing down, battery not holding the same charge, it’s been a constant work horse for almost 6 years so I’ve had value for money from it…
I thought you were about to say, “and a squeezable stylus doesn’t automatically make you more squeezable.”
Getting an iPad Pro just after WWDC and coming from regular 9.7 iPad from 2017,… will I get a much better experience? 😅 I imagine so!
Another line for the intro: Having better hardware doesn’t make the software better
I've noticed that tech people who do these reviews often times have very complex and redundant workflows composed of 10 different apps that require a combination of a pencil and a keyboard. And I've come to the realization that that's what makes the iPad so alluring to me. I am a full time content creator and bought the 2022 iPad Pro in hopes of living my best tech reviewer dream lol, but the truth is it's just not realistic for ne to use all those apps with all the accessories these creators use,. Actually, more times than not they're completely unnecessary and I find they instead get in the way of my workflow. I solely use the notes app on my Mac for my video research/script, and I edit on davinci resolve (which is very lackluster on the iPad), anything else is just noise to me.
I guess my comment has the purpose of making you think twice whether you actually need to upgrade or to invest in a piece of tech like the iPad Pro. I feel like despite all the iterations, it still remains a tool for a very specific niche of people, and even if you are a creative you may not get the most out of your investment. If you are torn between an iPad Pro or a macbook, get the latter instead.
Upgrade? YES! but is it reasonable if you have the M1 or M2? No! nothing's changed OS wise, though we have the newer chip, amazing screen, overpriced pencil, It's still under utilized due to the OS that's gimped, but i would say since i am an apple and android fan, that its an amazing upgrade if you are coming from the older 2018/2020 pro.
