Using an iPad 10th gen. Love it and use it for a lot of things. Using a first gen Apple Pencil
Which one should I buy as a med University student?
Bought an iPad Pro 11 m2 as an international student/aspiring artist recently. I adore the device so much. So much battery, great for drawing, if I wanna use a zbrush I can just connect it to my laptop via easy canvas. Great for casual gaming when I need, great for note taking, great for portability. My second ever apple device, first being 6s
Finally someone is appreciating the ipad 10 . Everyone was mad about the apple pencil 1 problem but it's a good ipad in my opinion
It definitely helps some people access it who might not: I do think Apple should make all iPads compatible with 2nd gen thou: on sale it can be $98 on Amazon sometimes - and the features are so much better - but the more affordable iPads aren’t compatible! :(
The apple pencil with usb c in my opinion helps the ipad 10 a bit.
Every youtuber keeps talking crap about the ipad 10 but the only bad thing about it is that $450 price tag
@@alfredoaraujo9294 it does not have pressure sensitivity
@@alfredoaraujo9294 What baffles me is that people get so worked up about the Apple Pencil with the iPad 10 when there is so many third party options that work as well as the Apple Pencil but only lack the pressure sensitivity, which funny enough the new Apple Pencil does now anyway, but for triple the price compared to the third party options.
The landscape camera on 10th gen was the main selling point for me as a student since I have a lot of zoom meetings and the center stage feature is a great add on honestly for everyday usage like taking notes or watching netflix the 10th gen is more than enough for a student
I use the larger iPad Pro M1 for school. As an engineering grad student who does all of my assignments and notes on the iPad, I really appreciate the larger screen size compared to my previous iPad Air. It's much easier to fit all of the equations and calculations than before. Plus, I can watch the lecture videos at the same time that I'm taking notes in picture-in-picture because of the nice, roomy screen. Also, I really like Notability as my go-to app but to each his own. There are a lot of good notes apps.
Hi im also a first year engineering student just bought an ipad for my 2nd semester ,am a newbie to ot,which apps would u suggest so tgat i can take full advantage from it and use it to enhance my studies,any suggestions
@@shortcartoons2440Notability or Goodnotes for note taking. Notion for planning, thats pretty much it.
Guys can I code in an I-pad Im also a engineering student in 2nd Sem please help me out!
@@-Tanjiro. you can with codesnack ide. Not as good as a full blown pc ide like eclipse or visual studio code but still pretty good
@@-Tanjiro.I would recommend getting an actual laptop for coding.
I just bought the iPad 10 Gen as of 7Jan24, and i was thinking if I made the right decision to purchase, and watching your video made my confused decision into right decision. Thank You for making the video and giving great tips.
I am an engineering student and i use my ipad pro 2017 10.5 inch with Apple Pencil. So far no complaints. 120 hz display is a gem. Yes it has slowed overtime but does get the job done for me. iPadOS 17 may be the last update for this beast but hey this gem of a product has served me well and planning to get the new 13 inch air or the base 10th gen for my use cases. Great device do try once if you’re a student
Been using the iPad Air 5 for a few months. Great device for school and perfect screen size as it’s just like a notebook!
i splurged on an 11’ m2 ipad pro and i adore it! it had a 100 dollar discount and a free apple pencil during the apple for education summer deals so it felt like a bargain
I bought it iPad 10 th gen it’s amazing
Thanks for the video ❤
I got an iPad Air 5th gen, a case, an Apple Pencil 2nd gen, and a paper-like screen protector for under $500 buying used form Ebay. The iPad had no scratches or scuffs, a healthy battery, and came with the original packaging. The Apple Pencil was brand new for around half the price. Super great deal! Buying used is the way to go if your worried about budget.
I got the same thing but new, I got the pen and keyboard from Costco because they were 40 dollars off. And it’s amazing for my nursing classes. I love the paper like screen
Big love for quoting prices in sterling 🇬🇧 and not aiming entirely at the US.
I personally love using the Apple Pencil for note taking. I also am in pilot training school, so I need a smaller iPad that needs to fit on my lap without impeding my movement in the cockpit. I went with the iPad Mini and I love it. The 10th generation iPad is very nice, especially for the cost, but the lack of support for the second generation pencil (which is so convenient to use) was a deal breaker for me.
Great Video man, keep it up!
Thanks pal! :)
If u are a student and don't care about the pencil it's the best and the most convenient i have it no problem u just have to be smart with it honestly performance, design everything is on point actually
How is this the first video I’ve seen on this channel? Amazing content and super interesting!
I love this! Welcome and thanks for saying so! :) Oh, do tell your friends :)
if you don’t draw ie don’t need pressure on the pen, off brand with palm sensing is way cheaper the apple pencil.
Thanks for this video. I currently have the 256GB iPad 10 that I am planning to sell and upgrade to the slightly better iPad Air M1 for the laminated display and 2nd Gen Apple Pencil support for note-taking, but you’re absolutely right about the iPad 10th Gen being good enough for most people. I would even go as far as to say that 90% of Apple and iPad users should only really choose between the standard iPad or iPad Air series if they want some of those extra features for those buying brand new. I think the iPad Pro is really intended only for those who are creatives or professionals who use it for enterprise or business stuff.
I actually have been using the ipad 9th gen for about a year now, and i can say it helped me a lot with studying (both in highschool and my first semester of college) so I would recommend it for people looking for an iPad but don't want to spend an arm and a leg. The only downside i've found so far is the battery that really doesn't last long... you have to take break every 4/5 hours because it's overheating and consumes a lot of battery. If anyone is also worried about the Apple Pencil 1st gen, I can assure you it's not that big of a deal: a full charge lasts more than a couple of days and in not much more than 10/15 mins it will be fully charged again, so in the end i wouldn't spend the extra 50 bucks for a second gen pencil (coming from someone who tried both)
I bought my iPad 9 at the beginning of 2022 and let me tell you that the battery lasted a long time and I began to notice that as the operating system updates passed, the performance of my battery decreased noticeably, being more noticeable after installing iOS 17. So I preferred to exchange it through Apple's trade in program and now I have had the iPad 10 for a month and I am very satisfied. And it's a shame because I was delighted with my iPad 9, but planned obsolescence by technology companies sucks.
what do you think.. i was planning to buy ipad air 5, just about a few days ago. Then I have read that in march there will be a few new ipads. And right now I think that the best option is waiting to drop the prices, but tbh i am not into all this stuff and i dont know if the prices will really go down or not and how much? Or maybe buy other ipad? My requirements are high quality of graphic and draw stuff, and of cors do notes in school. But as far as it goes i am not really demanding person.
This guy is so addictive. I had to subscribe...
Ah thanks pal! Welcome!
great tips! 🔥
Thanks!
You can get the Air with an M1 for around 450.00 us and I found the mini 6 for 399.00 us amazon coupon. I love both!
Thanks for the insight my friend!. bit confused there on the compatibility of the 2nd gen pencil with the ipad 10th gen but i figured it out!. might get the 10th gen ipad tomorrow. a bit worried on that laminated display impacting my notetaking but i think im being too picky here
What did you figure out? I'm still confused if its compatible or not
Hey is it worth?
For factory bought, the 10th gen iPad with a usb c pencil and maybe a 3rd party keyboard, that’s the best overall purpose and value purchase. However, if you’re in a more populated area and have the time to wait for a good deal, you should. I got a 5th gen 12.9’ iPad pro for only $575 usd on offerup and it came with an apple pencil gen 2 and an apple magic keyboard not extra cost! If that’s not a steal i don’t know what is
Are you serious
Ipad pro just for...
Which is best ipad or Samsung tablet.. I need to buy now, i have changed my decision from laptop to tablet
Ever since I'm suffering from trigger finger from holding big iPad for so long, I'm planning to get iPad Mini.
I’m so close to doing the same I think!
I managed to get a used iPad Air 5 for $400 so that was great for me. Can’t say I’ve been able to find a genuine Apple Pencil I can buy yet, though I have a similar off brand stylus to the usb-c option
What's the best app for reading textbooks which are in pdf formats and highlight later ? It's essentially the most important app for a student. Students usually get textbooks in PDFs.
My favorite iPad is iPad Pro I use stage manger and external display that’s is powered by the m chip
I love the stage manager system - but only on the external monitor! :)
Yea I am waiting on sells for buying and g10 :) with pencil yayaya
i really dont know what the better ipad i should choose ipad 4 cellular or ipad 10 wifi pleaseeee😭😭i really want a cellular but 10 the latest one right ?
Just bought mine last month
Enjoy!
Should I buy tab S9 Fe or ipad 10 but I can't afford to buy an Apple Pencil cause I'm on a budget and a student
Hi I have the iPad 10 generation but we can’t get the I pencil 2 gen , doesn’t link .
HEY MAN !
I AM A STUDENT WHO HAS TO ATTEND LIVE LECTURES AND JUST A LITTLE EDITING OF BASIC - MEDIUM LEVEL WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER APPLE MAC M2 AIR OR I PAD ?
Liked you energy. I chose a refurbished air 5 for my daughter's 11th birthday. Because of the pencil!!!!! Otherwise I would have bought the 10 gen, no question. The apple pencil usb-c has no pressure sensitivity, I hope that matters, or I would have gone another route... 😅 so many hours comparing, going back and forth. Hope I made a good choice.
Thanks! Yes totally - air 5 I think is a great choice above 10th gen - much prefer Apple Pencil 2 which doesn’t work with the 10th gen. :)
Hey man, nice vids :)
The ipad stand that u are using is compatible with all ipads or just ipad pro?
Yes I believe they make them in various sizes - one is from CharJenPro, the other is from Benks. :)
I have and Air 2022 and nowadays I really regret that choice: with the 10th gen, it’ll do and I tend to think that I kind of “waste” the money… I mean, the Air is reaaally awesome, but I do not use it as its full potential
Yeah, I think it’s underrated and is plenty for most people and everyday use (certainly for home most people are likely to use an iPad anyways. :) cheers
I bought my iPad 10th gen a few days after Christmas 23 and I’m so glad to see someone appreciate this iPad 😂I wanted to know though I ended up buying a stylus pen instead of the Apple Pencil and I would like to know how can I enable scribble because I’ve put it on in settings but it doesn’t work…
Good stuff - scribble may well not work with a 3rd party stylus. But the usbc Apple Pencil will. That said - check settings to see if there is an option: it’s usually under Apple Pencil settings thou.
@@BetterCreatingthank you, this helped a lot!
Do the same with the new line-up please
The 10th generation ipad only supports Apple Pencil 1 and Apple Pencil Type “c” so I recommend to go with Apple Pencil Type “c” because you don’t need any external adapters to charge this type c pencil. But in pencil 1, you need to use external adapters to charger it.
For my small hand i choose the mini over the air,
Great choice haha :)
I have the pro 2020 but really want to get the mini
Ditto! Pro 2018 and thinking mini!
hey mate are you still reading comments ? cause i have a question i know it may sound stupid but please if you can please reply.
1:- I have a budget of 50k INR / 600$ what would be the best the i pad 10th gen 64gb with the apple pencil 1 or a i pad air 5 64gb with a normal off brand stylus. I want do a little gaming , little video/photo editing, 3d sculpting/modeling(i wanna learn CAD ),and i am studying for JEE Exams.
2:- Please recommend some free alternatives of the procreate and other paid apps for the i pad, i need it as i can't spend a single penny on any application.
(i will use an external storage device for the lack of storage)
Thank You

haha, so Meta. Thanks for watching and welcome to the channel! just turn on the bell and you'll see my stuff turn up :)
Does anyone know where I can get the iPad stand @6:50 ?
Which varient? In 64gb how much is available for use? Is for sufficient for regular normal use?
I got one and 40 gb is available for use but u can delete a lot of the bloatware apps and get over 45gb it's way more than enough for my use which is for browsing and watching videos
Nice video = new sub
Welcome!
Is the ipad 10 the best buy for student mainly for taking notes? Or should i get ipad air?
Just my opinion: but If you want the 2nd gen Apple Pencil functions (double tap etc), and have the funds, the iPad Air offers those options, but if you are ok with the usbc pencil and no MagSafe charging, + want 80% of the iPad functions but at a more affordable package, the 10th gen is fine and very good. :)
The ipad pro 11inch is $799 and the 12.9 inch is $1099 in America.The only difference is the size and screen.
Great video,what do u say is 64gb variant one good enough for an engineering student.
I still believe iPad 9th gen is a better value than iPad 10th because it you buy iPad 10th, you have to buy usb-c Apple Pencil also
I’d likely go 9th gen air and get the Apple Pencil 2 if I have the monies :)
Has Notion fixed the issues with iPad yet? Frustrating I can’t move blocks with the pencil.
Notion’s mobile apps are more limited than the desktop due to being touch /iOS apps, and not on mouse pointer etc. shame we can’t move blocks or adjust columns etc: but tbh: I prefer editing the system on desktop and just dropping info in or reading it on mobile. :(
Hi, what the iPad stand u using that can adjust the height
I think it’s one from Benks. See my desk setup video recently for info! :)
What do you think is the best thing to do considering a new ipad event is going to occur in early May? I would figure prices would drop for the earlier generations, but I wouldn’t bet my life on that.
Yeah, wait on the new releases and see from there - I think we’ll find the M1 and M2 existing iPads will become super good options. :)
@@BetterCreating I completely forgot to say thank you!
What did you end up getting?
Haven’t gotten anything yet, but I’m probably going for the air considering it has the m2 chip and is like 1/3 the price of an m2 macbook lol (not a replacement for a macbook, ik)
@@SJC7 great. Personally, I’m considering pro m2 11 inch since I found it new for $630. The recent air is cool but from where I live rn, it seems like pro m2 is a more solid choice comparing the price of the new m2 air coming at $600
What about ipad pro 2018 .Even in term of price it is 400 and is even good for gaming
I think that’s what I have: and it’s been great.
yeah, i want an ipad but its expensive, i was gonna buy xiaomi pad 6 but ipad is really best
Some second hand iPads from 2019 still a great and cheap option if you go for a pro.
You can’t use the second generation Apple Pencil with the 10th GEN iPad
That is correct! So it’s the Air and 2nd Gen or 10th Gen iPad with the usbc option
can you help me find a laptop ipad setup for 500 to 400 or even 600
I’d recommend going refurbished for an older option. :)
Good video guys. I do disagree with the argument of people being used to the phone OS, grandmas and kids etc. We're not talking about the 10th gen iPad, we're not talking about the iPad Air, we're talking about the iPad Pro, a 1000 USD+ device. It's not a device you buy for your kids or your grandma, that's what the cheaper ones are for. And you don't have to force MacOS, just offer a dual boot option very well hidden in settings for the people who do want it. Then it would also help them sell storage upgrades because two OS would take up a good amount of space.
Also, I don't think the financial argument makes that much sense. Realistically speaking, most people won't buy two devices, a Mac and an iPad. That's for Apple fans and people who have money to spare. Most people want/need to save money and will only buy one of the two, and most will probably go with the Mac because it has less limitations than the iPad and therefore better bang for the buck. Now, a 13 inch MBA currently costs $999, while a similarly sized iPad Pro costs $1299, which is 30% more expensive!!! So by limiting iPadOS, Apple is getting people to buy the cheaper device, the MBA. Now, if they did allow dual booting on the iPad, they could upsell the iPad because it would be the more versatile device. And not only people would be paying $300 more for the iPad, many would then pay $350 more for the Magic Keyboard.
Now we're talking $1649 TO START, with 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM, but many people will need more than that, so that setup could easily get to $2000 and that's not even including the Apple Pencil yet. And it wouldn't cannibalize the MBP because it's a thin and light device at the cost of less connectivity, battery life etc. People who need real Pro hardware would still buy a MBP.
Skip to 13:45 and save some time.
Rather than skipping to 13:45I’d recommend not watching : it will save even more time! 😂 Perhaps I’m being a little literal here thou? 👀 thanks for clicking anyways.
I think his using the iPad Air instead the 10 gen iPad because 10 gen doesn’t allow you to attach the pencil to the side
This is defiantly the 10th Gen. it allows magnetic attachment but just doesn’t charge it.
My favorite iPad is iPad Pro; because I use iPad for editing my UA-cam videos, making thumbnail & …; so it should be so fast and PRO👌🏻
I love mine too! But interestingly I’m feeling the benefit of maybe trying a mini for a more portable notebook these days!
Do you think 64GB are enough?
No probably not for most people unless you are just doing simple tasks :)
@@BetterCreating thank you very much that means I gotta spend a lot more money then intended but thank you for your help!
air 6gen
🤔 Why are you talking about the 2nd Gen Apple pencil when it doesn't work on the iPad 10th Gen? Very confusing for your viewers.
Because I’m also talking about whether to go for an air in certain circumstances - but thanks - good feedback - will try to be clearer in future. :)
BUT WHERE IS THE MUG FROM ⁉️‼️ LINK US THE MUG ‼️🗣️ please and thank you

Bro apple pencil 2nd generation doesn't work with ipad 10th generation
Yes indeed, I share that on the video. :)
Your cat. It’s giantic.
Haha, she’s just very long! Looks like a heffa sat down like that right?! Haha. She’s a maincoon cross
Just a small suggestion. Your timeline is little bit annoying could you make it appear when it needed and remove it after is much better
thanks for the feedback :)
the most boring video fr, only promos.
no worries - I think you'll enjoy my systems and productivity tips videos better
One simple question but still mystery: Does the 2. Generation Pencil work with Apple 10 or not?
Why Apple makes our life great on the one hand and then takes all back with little annoying details on the other hand?
The 10th gen only supports the 1st gen apple pencil, which is one of its downsides. The camera being placed in landscape means that there's no space for charging technology on the side, which means that it can only support the gen 1 apple pencil. And since that apple pencil has a lighting connector for charging, you can't charge that on the 10th gen's port which is USB-C. You will need an adapter for it. Sucks right
