Nothing more to say than you deserved this review unit and your iPad review is the most exceptional I’ve seen so far. Truly excellent work.
Thank you so much, that means a lot coming from you!! 😄
i must applaud Snazzy labs for this reply.
This man actually uses the ipad instead of just gushing about features.
I'm here from Snazzy's tweet, thanks for the link!
Gizmodo straight up said “it’s pretty but it’s still not a MacBook” 😭
Quinn your review was also exceptional in technical regard
Finally, an iPad Pro review from someone who, wait for it, *actually uses one regularly*.
Definitely this is a review of how to actually use it. I couldn't finish iJustine's video review as it sounds like an ad and not showing what work can actually be done.
So true, this guy is the iPad master. He uses it all the time so he knows every single detail on using the iPad. Most deserved review.
@@chewbacca90210 Yeah but iJustine is soooo much nicer to look at! :) I don't watch her to get any product info out of the experience lol
Seriously! iPad is my favorite Apple device, it’s what I use the most, and I’ve definitely gotten the feeling from many reviewers that they’re just not iPad people. I appreciate this review a lot!
@@chewbacca90210 typical of her videos.
It great to see a review from someone that ACTUALLY uses an iPad. Every other tech reviewer always cries about it not having MacOS. That being said, the battery life not being improved is kind of a bummer. What happened to the Ford hat?
I actually think they did a great job with the oled panel with extra brightness and more slimmer design the battery still gives the same backup
His videos always go deep. This guy is one of UA-cam’s finest.
Maybe they needed to keep battery weight down so that they could retain the cantilever on the keyboard stand as well as including a function row. Will be really annoying if the next version doesn’t take advantage of chip improvements to increase the battery life.
Still have the Ford hat, but I got a hair cut.
Would have actually prefered to the iPad Pro maybe be just a tad thicker and get extra battery life and maybe save the slim thin for the iPad Air - actually named air
Personally I would have preferred a thicker iPad with a larger battery
Love that you addressed the fact that the Nano-texture glass does not provide a paper-like feel for the Apple Pencil. Been looking for this answer since the announcement.
It felt a bit weird considering Paperlike was the sponsor, to be honest… 🫣
Why didn't Apple make paperlike unnecessary by engineering a better pencil rather than throw more haptics at us. People are switching to remarkable for a more natural writing experience.
@@tomsop Presumably became some people like the current experience and for those who don't they can just add something like paperlike? Harder to go the other way around.
I think a lot of the people who use a remarkable are using it largely to get away from a device with apps and an internet connection.
@@tomsop thanks for letting us know you either work or simp for remarkable. An iPad is a complete computer. A Remarkable is a glorified legal pad.
Yes. Was glad to hear that clarification even though I don’t use Paperlike. Been thinking about trying it since I preferred the feel of my Surface Pen on my Surface Laptop Studio.
You are the iPad guy. I use mine way more than i used to after watching your videos. Thanks :)
Looking forward to watching this one! Your iPad videos are very inspirational to me and I appreciate the effort. Enjoy your new iPad dude!
Awesome, I hope you enjoy the video!
I will only watch your videos as the only UA-camr soley focus working on iPad Pro, great job mate! I am getting mine next week so I am up to date with everyone with an iPad Pro M4! Love this video and looking forward to more productivity, performance, Apple Pencil Pro and more iPad Pro M4 videos!
The most in depth review by far, so much insight going over most if not all of the features of this new iPad. Thank you so much!
Your videos have helped me a lot in transitioning to an all-iPad setup, and I can’t wait for my iPad Pro M4 to arrive tomorrow!! 1TB this time, going (almost) all in. Thanks for your amazing content :)
did you get the nano texture?
@@lifeofmisschar no! I didn't enjoy the washed out color and don't work outdoors or with lots of light sources. Also, I was going to use a screen protector on it so no point really
I was waiting for this review! Thanks for this!
No, thank you! 😎
Well said about Stage-Manager needing an upgrade eg app limit and overall organization too.
Well done!
Thank you!!
I knew this would be a 34 minute ad, but I’m completely here for it, Christopher makes consistently great iPad OS content.
I came here first for a review because I knew I’d get the best thoughts and analysis on this from an actual iPad user. Great review and thanks so much for your hard work!
I love the in-depth review, in such a short period. This is really everything
Been waiting for your video on it 😃
Well wait no more!
This is my favorite M4 Pro review, great job!
Thank you!
I enjoy your reviews and advice. Accurate and believable. I had talked myself out of the upgrade but reconsidering. Keep up the great work.
So, I've been looking forward to the new iPad's, I have been watching a lot of reviews on it to make sure I make the right choice for what I need. I appreciate your review on these devices, great video!
the new studio looks great! amazing video too dude :) 💪🔥
Thanks dude!
You sir are the iPad master and you just earned a subscriber. And seriously, you should have at least 1M subs with this kind of quality you’re producing. Great job on your vids!
Thank you for such an excellent video!
First timer here on your channel, congrats, what a great discovery!
Very happy to see you get the same results when rendering complex videos in Final Cut. I had the M2 at 6min12s and the M4 at 6min. Can't wait for Final Cut 2 😅
Waited for this video, if it’s anyone who truly uses this to the max, it’s you. Thanks for the video 🙌🏾
My pleasure!
This is the most thorough and thoughtful review I’ve watched on the M4 iPad Pro. Thank you!
Very complete review. Thanks for your work.
Of all the UA-camrs, this channel is THEE review that matters. Haven’t watched yet but glad it’s a a meaty 30min+ long. Let’s go! 🎉
was really looking forward to your review. you inspire me to try and make this thing my main computer
The review I've been waiting for 👏🏼
Awsome video and review! Appreciate the inclusion of examples, demos, and comparisons while covering the upgrades. As well as little details like the pass through charging.
Thank you!!
Wonderful review. Thank you!
Great review! Ordered the Paperlike via your link, mentioning you in Gratitude!
The only iPad review that matters since you actually use the device. Thanks for the great video
Can’t wait to check this out in the store! I’m probably going to get one eventually but gotta save up for a couple months first
Fantastic review! Was waiting for your take
Thank you!
This has been the best new iPad Review I’ve seen so far from a real iPad user that’s great! Keep going!
Bro, tremendous content. Your focus and detailed rundown of the iPad cuts through all of the PR and marketing videos online. Excellent job! My 13” 1TB arrives tomorrow and I cannot wait. Fully moving off of MacBook over to iPad.
Thanks for another job, Well done! You’re the best iPad guy out there!
This video is amazingly well done: so so sooooo informative and professional! You nail it Christopher!
Thanks so much!
Great stuff, C-Law!!! You are the man when it comes to this powerful tool! It’s my favorite item in Apple’s lineup by far.
You’re my “go-to” for knowledge on it-if I don’t already have it!
Thank you! 🙏
Mine is coming tomorrow. 13” silver, 1T with regular glass since I rarely use it out of the house, new pencil and white keyboard. This is a fantastic review! Thank you!
I hope you enjoy it!
Great review as always Chris 👌
Great review as always 👍🏾
The whole time I was watching the keynote all I could think about was what Chris’ thought would be!
Stunning review of the new iPad! I hope there will be more videos coming. Greetings from Argentina!
Excellent commentary and review.
Great video Christopher- enjoy seeing the views from a power user
I love ur review style, subbed!😊
Chris Amazing Video and i had to get the information from people i know who would have the answers. Thanks so much enjoyed. 💯✌️
great review! good job!
Great review. Really shows what an iPad can do. I get there are annoyances with the OS but it’s nice to see a review that doesn’t spend the whole review focusing on that and diminishing what a great device this is.
You do great work! Appreciate you brother!
Thank you!!
Awesome video! I met your dad at a tech conference last week in Minnesota and he showed me your channel. Now I'm binge-watching your videos. Such great content! Keep up the good work.
That’s wild to hear, thank you!
Honestly, vim on the iPad would actually be so sick!
Another great iPad use case and review from Chris. Really good stuff as always. My MacBook stays dormant and is so boring. I love my iPad and interacting with it.
You got me into using tablets as my only on the go computer 5 years ago. Haven't looked back since!
It’s hilarious how most people just agree that the ultra wide was a bad idea. Don’t miss it a bit 😂
I do use it a lot on my iPhone, but only because it’s easy to maneuver and fit in tight spaces.
Fantastic review from an actual usage , most are doing a near add review. Christopher what’s the Oled like for people that are a bit PWM sensitive? Does it use DC Dimming or PWM, if PWM what’s the Hz?
I loved taking ultra wide pictures with the iPad Pro to capture a room and sketch up on the photo to iterate on room design. Yeah I can also take a photo with another device but having it right in there just more convenient.
Your video has given me hope for the iPad Pro. All other videos felt like “this is just another iPad Pro”
Wow I didn't know the space black iPad Pro is that dark! Man! I'm glad I went with that color 😮
your reviews is intelligent and relevant. thanks being realistic
New subscriber. I am so happy to have found someone who uses an iPad as much, and in the ways, I do. My iPad Pro 11 M4 with 1T comes tomorrow and I can't wait. The magic keyboard and new pencil will be here by week's end. Great presentation for this device. I use the 11" because the scale just fits me better. So I'm thrilled I won't be missing performance by not having bought the 13". I skipped the Nano screen because it was too high maintenance and I don't really need it. Did get everything in Space Black. It's gorgeous. I know I'll rewatch this video more than once. Thank you for such a thorough and thoughtful review.
I originally ordered the 13” air when my 2018 12.9” Pro Display died. I decided to return it and exchanged it for the 13” pro. So glad I did.
Switched from the 12.9" 4th gen to the new 11"...totally worth it.
Best iPad review
Awesome review! Been watching your videos for a while. Thanks to you, I use the IPad exclusively for work. Just got my new Pro 13 today! As someone who is streaming and recording gameplay, what editor do you suggest for IPad and do you feel its worth editing on the Pro 13. Keep the videos coming! Thank you!
Excellent video
good review, very detailed
The only M4 iPad Pro review one should watch
This man is the iPad king.
Hardware wise, aside from an extra usbc port, it’s pretty great. What will make me upgrade, however, is software, with system wide input/output audio control being my #1 need and wish.
Nice intuitive video as always. Are you going to review the 13inch Air?
NIce music choice - love some old school AFI Punk Music
Very good review.
Nice review. You and iPhonedo are my go to for reviews.
That is somebody I am honored to be grouped with!
Excellent video. I am so pissed that some notable Tech reviewers are calling the New Pro iPad a “another speck bump” I prefer to use my iPad over my MB Pro and use it as much as my iphone. I appreciate your thoughtful observation
This is the iPad I’ve been waiting for. For a non coder this is perfect as a computer replacement. It’s portable. It’s light. It’s fun. It’s fast. It has tons of accessories and can morph into so many different form factors.
As an owner of a MacBook Pro m3 and a previous owner of an 11” iPad Pro m1. This is the update I’ve been waiting for.
I went with a 1tb regular glass 11” with Magic Keyboard and new pencil and Zagg screen protector and new magnetic folio.
I plan to replace my laptop with this device and sell the laptop all together.
So much of what you said helped me reaffirm this is what I’ve been waiting for. Thank you Chris
why aren’t you waiting for wwdc next month to at least be sure iPad OS will get the updates it needs in order to even begin to replace a laptop? I’m saying this considering how much an iPad Pro costs. The price tag makes it a huge gamble right now, since it is not even close to the convenience of a MacBook Air in terms of portability vs capability and ease of use. A MacBook Air is far more complete, can perform heavier tasks when needed and has an overall better OS (well… iPad OS is the worst in the Apple lineup so it was kind of an easy comparison). I own both the devices you mentioned (MacBook Pro M3 Pro and iPad Pro M1, 11” sold for a swap with 12.9” M1) and I know for a fact the iPad can’t replace the MacBook even for a non-developer or non-pro user. That makes me curious, so I’m going to ask, if you don’t mind. Do you have a desktop? That would absolutely explain everything and I’d probably be on board with the portable experience of an iPad over that of a MacBook, but only if there was a proper desktop waiting at home, if you know what I mean. Just curious, that’s it
@@jack_2612 i have a work computer provided by work for work stuff, always have and always will in my line of work. Not concerned with the price. I dislike to say that as it comes off a certain type of way but fortunately for me im fortunate enough that this can be a toy if i want it to be. (i bought my 11" pro outright plus all accessories, no financing needed) I have also edited drone video professionally on an ipad pro in the past using lumafusion so i know for any hobby i get into that im interested in, the ipad pro is enough.
my personal computing needs are shopping, reading, banking, budgeting, investing, lite video editing, streaming content, listening to music, and communication.
my phone technically does all that. If the iphone had PROPER external display support, proper screen orientation for external display and springboard, and keyboard/mouse support, id just TB4 into a monitor or tv and use that as my ONLY personal device.
there is nothing wrong with waiting, or buying now if it suits your needs. WWDC will be here next month and new software in september. I want to watch youtube on a portable OLED screen while eating breakfast before work now though :)
Again, its really all about your needs and what you do. The iPad is an extremely capable device, it requires thinking about the programs as touch first, and sometimes a workaround through a shortcut or multiple apps to do what one can. There are plenty of great apps and cross compatible apps, ( drafts, Ferrite, notes, photos, Things, web versions of google docs, sheets, slides through safari, Lumafusion, FCP, Affinity Photo/Designer, Procreate, PsPortal, Xbox Game Pass) These are some apps I use and free me from needing a desktop, or laptop in my personal life. Add in Zoom and this would even be enough for me to do my work professionally.
Whatever works for you! Christopher has great content on his channel that goes over using the iPad as a main device and if you're ready willing and able, try going iPad only for a day or two and see how you like it.
@@jack_2612 What are you doing on your mac that you can't on your iPad pro? Especially as a non coder and even as a coder there are work arounds.
@@unbornG4 why would I want a workaround just to use a device that is double the price of a base MacBook Air? Anyway, the iPad is just Netflix and notes in uni. Ok the MacBook I do everything else, from notes to assignments to research to watching twitch and yt, browsing and even some gaming. I bought the M3 Pro because I had an Air and I did not see a way I could last 5-6 years with it, but I wanted a Mac that could last me that long. Plus, I can’t stand 60hz anymore and the Apple pricing for upgrades is… well you know. So by the time I spec up a 15” Air to have 512 and 16 gigs of ssd and ram respectively, while getting the base core upgrade to 10 if I’m not mistaken, well I’m already well over 2k by miles. I live in Italy, which means the markup I get… I get it on every single upgrade, not just on the device itself. An iPad Pro 13” for example is 1600 euros. Now, I won’t go into detail about how iPadOS is nothing like having a full desktop OS, but just for giving an example I recently took an English certification exam and if I didn’t have a MacBook I could not have taken it remotely from home. The iPad was specifically listed, ironically, as an example of non-compatible device for the exam. It’s a niche case, but throughout uni I’ve had plenty of problems when I was trying to go iPad-only and it felt like I was trying too hard to do something that didn’t make sense trying to. Like… getting a MacBook is way cheaper and is way better in any way, so yh I have an iPad for the Apple Pencil and for that it’s great, but for even the most basic computing or multitasking it’s trash. In conclusion, before you jump at me about the “not needing a MacBook Pro”, you’re right. I don’t specifically need it. I’ll be studying in a Master program starting in September and I will be learning coding, data management and so on and I will work in IT in the future, so I’d rather have a device I can afford now (quitting my job in September so I won’t be able to afford it down the line, not immediately at least) and keep it for 5-6 years instead of settling for an Air. On top of that, as I said, a 15” specced up would have been as expensive as MacBook Pro. So yh, that’s my reasoning about the whole iPad thing. At least for now, maybe wwdc will change everything lol
@@jack_2612iPad may not work for you. But it works for many others including the creator of this channel who is an iPad primary and only device user. Also, I and many others can afford the iPad as a toy even in 1tb configs with 2000 plus price tags and all accessories paid upfront. Apple is seen as a luxary brand. Not everyone who has a car has a Mercedes, Lexus, bmw etc. I can use iPad as my
Main primary and only device both professionally and personally. Or it can be a toy. Same as a MacBook. It’s all about what you do.
Everyone has the choice to buy whatever devices they want for wherever their use cases are. Some people can afford whatever they want. Others are on a budget. Apple has something for everyone.
Use what’s right for you and be happy you have something that works for the tasks you need it for. Enjoy your devices. 5-6 years is always going to be tough to keep any device. There will be something newer and better every year.
Just be happy with your choice and enjoy the device. Upgrade as needed or desired depending on finances and value and have fun.
Great report thank you. I got the iPad Pro 11 inch could only afford 256 gb. Then bought a screen protector which is ONETIME NanoArmour 11-inch iPad Pro 2024 Anti-Glare Matte Screen Protector it cost me A$61.00 which is a great alternative to the nano screen and cost a lot less.
Thanks!
Thank you!! 👍
Amazing iPad content as always. Does the new iPad work with your existing magnetic stands as I have three CharJen versions I've built desk setups around? See you answered this towards the end. Sadly a no 😢
I have been waiting for your review and you didn’t disappoint. I use the M1 11” iPad Pro for 99% of my computing needs, the only task I need to use our M1 MacBook Pro is stacking my astrophotography subs. If I could do that on my iPad Pro, I would no longer need to use our MacBook. That being said I am going to purchase the M4 iPad Pro, I haven’t decided on which size or if I will include cellular.
This is pretty much the same for me. However, I’ve now offloaded my astrophotography stacking (PixInsight) to a beefed up Mini PC and just RDP to it from my iPad. I also use WireGuard VPN for when I am on the move and want to access mini PC.
Exactly the same problem here. I use my iPad for astrophotography, except it can't run any of the software for Photoshop from RC Astro. That, and the fact that iPad OS doesn't have a calculator when they could just port the iOS calculator is insane to me. The M4 chip would run blisteringly fast with RC Astro's astrophotography add-ons. It's a shame really -- I wish iPad OS would merge with Mac OS the same way Microsoft made Windows 11 designed for desktops or touch screens both.
Hello from someone who absolutely relies on the ultra wide rear camera for professional work! (20:08) I do architectural surveys where space is always tight but photos always need surrounding visual context. The iPad has been my sketching and data-collection tool. When the iPad Pro came out, it also became my main camera, replacing a cumbersome DSLR with 24mm lens, which previously replaced a GoPro, and the results have been breathtakingly superior! The 0.5x (ultra wide) is far easier, quicker, more convenient in one device. And seamless zoom back to 1.0x and beyond (telephoto) produces crisp clear photos & videos like a true pro. Amazing low light performance, too. It’s one heck of a critical feature that I cannot upgrade to the M4 iPad Pro for the lack of it! Without ultra wide, I cannot do my work!
As always your reviews answer all my questions. I have been using an iPad Pro as my Sole device since the pro model came out. I currently have the M2 IPad Pro but I don’t see a need to upgrade just yet. I’m waiting to see what the IPadOS beta 18 going be about before I do. Cause at this point the device is over powered for the existing operating system.
So far, this was the best review I’ve watched about the iPad Pro M4; it is very insightful and comprehensive, with details on every part of the hardware and associated user experience. I hope that Apple enable macOS on this device because it has a lot of power
thank you for the review.
I only have one question that was not addressed in your review. which screen type shows finger prints less? are there any meaningful differences or are they the same?
since you mentioned wanting an OLED TV:
the LG C1, 2 or 3 are all excellent OLED panels
its 4k, 120hz w 4x hdmi 2.1 ports and they look fantastic
Na bro has to be apple 🤣
Love your honest review
Thank you! I love the iPad but definitely want to always see it get better.
Oh my god I did not expect the vim joke
a strong thumbs up from me for the vim joke!
lol I was waiting for this video (unrealistically) on may 7th.
Hello Chris. What do you think about usage of protective film or glass on the new ipad with nanotexture?
Great review. Thanks. I would like to know or understand from your point of view why are you using an IPAD over a macbook pro or air. You would haver better performance and without the linitation of the IPADOS. I would really like to know it. Thanks.
Love your review Blue.....lots of great comparisons. .. I am almost convinced to trade in my 12.9 inch to the new 13" .....& yes who would not want to have the extra 2 inches ..😢...(interesting toys in yout background)
loved the vim joke 😂
I agree: FOCUS MODES are a strong tool and it would be great if you could CUSTOMIZE THE DO NOT DISTURB BUTTON on the keyboard to activate or cycle through certain focus modes (especially between personal and work)
Thanks for the review! I've been longing to move back to an iPad Pro as my main/only computer again. As it is today, it's mostly perfectly fine for what I use it for - probably more than my M2 MacBook Air is. The OLED display almost pushed me back over the edge, but I think I'll be waiting to see what WWDC offers first. Photography being one of my hobbies - I've been using my iPhone 14 Pro more to edit photos just for the better (but smaller) screen, would be nice to bring this back to a 13" screen.
Just as a side note, my SLIM FOLIO PRO keyboard case works perfectly with the new iPad. No Magnets thank goodness, slides in perfectly.
🤗THANKS CHRIS ,YOU HAVE CONVINCED ME 👍 …NOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE BUDGET 😬🥺💚💚💚
