I sooooo I waited for this. Wanted to get an ipad for forever, and when the rumours were about this being oled equipped generation, I knew I wouldn't go for last gen or anything else. I just really wanted the oled. Got myself the 13" in 512gb celular. The price was high but I saved up for it for over year and a half. Been using it daily since I got it last week, and apart from the growing pains of getting used to my first apple device, it's already replaced my laptops in all but development work. Art, design, misic, writing, all fantastic. Just no programming on ipad. For what I wanted it was also the only option. I wanted a great drawing tablet, and with those specs/performance... ipad was the only option. Try looking for a standalone tablet with great highres oled and good performance, great drawing experience, and an amazing keyboard cover. There are alternatives but for experience like on ipad i would pay more. in that sense, this ipad pro was the cheapest option.
Andres, for iPad specifically with web development, I found CodeSandbox to work very well for iPadOS and to pull in that same workspace to VS Code on my actual PC.
I went iPad Pro only around 4 years ago and also paperless. I don't print anything, I copy and printscreen a lot, all digital. I use my iPad for photo and video editing, for communication of course, for astrophotography, for my weatherstation, for digital painting, for logging on to my work network, for webdesign and content management, etc. I use it many hours each day and it all works like a charm. Would love to see some much needed improvements on the iPadOS. The iPads deserve to be taken serieous by now 👍
unfortunately they wont how we want it to be. of of apples top managers said that they see them as different products which complement each other. of course they will improve iPadOS year by year but we cannot expect a system like surface and windows short term. i hope some day the iPad/Macbook sales will decrease that they change this strategy. i would love to run MacOS in iPad or having something like „MacOS mode“ if a keyboard or an external monitor is connected. Including the proper finder/file management system.
@@itismaxs I don't see that as being very far off tbh. Apple had various growth sectors in the 2000s-2010s. Most of them have already been replaced (ipod) or reached or close to reaching maturity (iphone, ipad, iwatch). Apple already has the majority of the market in tablets and phones in the US as well as the watch. At some point it will make more financial sense to combine the divisions again. I would love for them to improve Ipad OS but every year that passes with such small improvements makes me believe they can't differentiate and innovate separation between the products. If Ipad OS is supposed to co-exist as they say they shouldn't see a threat of making more changes. Also, as the Pro line becomes more expensive than the Mac it just doesn't make sense to keep it as a companion device. Even at the lower level of the Air.

I was simply watching tech videos since I stumbled upon his channel, and I've got to say, its the best tech review channel I came upon the last 6-7 years of watching youtube (I am 16). But hats off to you and your production team. Keep growin
Absolutely the best video on the new iPad I’ve seen so far. And I’ve watched them all. You are one heck of a filmmaker, dude. I can tell you have a great sense of style and put a lot of thought into your camera angles. Can see everything so clearly. Totally professional video. Feels like a short film.
Beyond the stylish video editing, nothing much was really mentioned that wasn't covered in other reviews. Other reviews have gone in more depth as well and this feels more of an artsy review rather than one that is truly critical. Overall by the halfway mark, this video dragged its feet to the end. Apple has a clear idea of the limitations since they don't want to confuse their macbook lineup with their ipads and no one is planning to buy an ipad to do serious programming, but maybe a little on-the-go short video editing.
i couldnt get passed the first 10 minutes because all he was doing was describing whats new with the ipad, which was announced over 2 weeks ago. Not only had all the videos about whats new with the ipad been long out, but thtas not what the title of this video is or for nor do i understand why 10 minutes of the video are that
The very very BEST tech review video I have ever seen!!!!!! You bring movie making and tech editing into perfect harmony. You get it, man! Your microphone audio quality is stellar, you're editing is fresh and fly, your coloring is moody, your office set up is bangin' - I felt like I got the entire experience. I simply need an iPad that is big and that allows me to switch between PDFs, Word Docs, and PowerPoint Presentations (My freaking job loves to flood me with documents at the last minute, so, I need to be able to access them and scroll through them fast ... doing it on my laptop is a clunky affair).
Still limited by the OS. I’m still running a M1 Pro 11” and only big upgrade I’d see is the OLED display. $1400 CAD for the 11” and $1800 CAD for the 13” is insane. People are buying less iPads so Apple increases the price. Makes sense 😂
yup yup 😅 Dont get me wrong I love the OLED, its a very nice display. And outside there is a very noticeable difference. However, imo upgrading just because of the OLED is not worth it... I think OS wise its 75% there. For us, using DaVinci has been absolutely insane. So im actually really impressed by it in that regard. I do feel like it's a very niche machine for what you are paying tho.
@@andresvidozaI’m currently using the M1 iPad Pro (11”) with Magic Keyboard and pencil. If i were thinking of upgrading I will just trade the whole setup for an M1 Macbook Pro 😅
Technology, whether that is iPhone, iPad or even MacBook… Hell even outside of Apple a NVIDIA GPU. Technology doesn’t explode and change dramatically every single year or even every few years. You’ll get a little better each generation with occasionally a breakthrough of some kind here and there. Upgrading Technology should be every say 5 years on average. If you’re pre M series this is a great spot to get in, but as someone with a M1 or M2 already in an iPad, you shouldn’t be even looking till M5/6.
It's not limited, people's expectations are misplaced on what a tablet should be. The only real limitations i feel are trash file management system and poor external monitor support
11 inch is the sweet spot. Also I personally think using an iPad as a MacBook is doing it wrong. It’s its own thing which is relaxed content consumption and creation in places other than a desk.
Fair you think using an iPad as a MacBook is doing it wrong I just personally like ipads/tablets format, size and stuff like that so I just wish that I could do the same stuff on a iPad as a MacBook so I don’t have to use multiple devices but from what I seen and the possible upgrades the iOS gets with 18 I think the iPad Pro is at a stage where I can do everything home, school and work stuff I need in a device So when I have to upgrade my iPad gen 5 I probably go to the new pro and see if I can use it as main device for everything except gaming so their isn’t a need for my MacBook Pro 14 inch m1 so my little sister can get my MacBook
For me 11" was the sweet spot in school. SO good. Like soso good. Eliminated so much in my backpack. I would very rarely bring my laptop towards the end of my engr and comp sci degree.
Gonna be honest: I own the 9th gen regular iPad, bought it plus the Apple Pencil last year for an internship and it worked beautifully there. Afterwards, the device collected dust on my shelf for months as there simply was no use case for it. I have a PC/MacBook for productive work and a TV for media consumption. So when Apple revealed the new stuff I was like "Aight, cool. But not for me". But watching your video sort of opened my eyes for the possibility of implementing the iPad+Keyboard+Pencil combo as a killer replacement for my aging MacBook. iPadOS is capable enough for my use cases, and having a device that can transform from a laptop to a tablet seems extremely useful. Of course, price wise it's definitely crazy, but I'm fine with paying more for a better experience. So thanks Andres for showing me this possibility more clearly than anyone's ever done before 🙌🏼
buying this over a MacBook for any reason is crazy, specially considering its more then a MacBook Air and is pretty much the same price of a MacBook Pro and offers way less capability
@@geraldcapo4400 I don't believe that's true for every use case. For gaming, video editing or, as Andres showed in the video, for coding, the Mac is clearly superior. But I use my MacBook for basic office tasks, browsing the web and some light creative work every now and then. Even the base iPad can do all of that very well, plus having the Pencil allows for handwritten notes or sketches which are more complicated to do on Mac. And always having the keyboard attached makes the device less flexible. So in some areas the iPad is also superior I think. Just really depends on what you want to do with it
@@geraldcapo4400I use the M1 iPad Air and the M3 MacBook Pro. Most of the time I go for the iPad since I can do a lot of my stuff on it and it’s better for games and movies. I get where you’re coming from, but if I was cash strapped and needed some kind of laptop then maybe M1/M2 MacBook Air and 10th gen iPad would work. If you can only get 1, 7/10 times I would go for the MacBook but if I could do everything I needed to on the iPad, I’d take it, even if the methods aren’t the most ideal.
Switching to ipad only 3 years ago has been a challenge but every year it gets a little better. I do photography and editing on ipad is way more enjoyable than sitting at a computer with a mouse and keyboard. Theres some things ipad cant do in safari with google drive dragging and dropping files I have to use my old IMac to do sometimes but other than that I really have no reason to go back to a mac. Honestly I think the best combo is a ipad and a mac mini cause now you can use a ipad as an external monitor with a video capture card.
Since you asked whether we'd "switch" to an iPad: I'm a college student and photographer who's looking into getting the new iPad Pro. I'm very intrigued by the ability to take notes on a tablet in my classes, as well as using the pencil to edit my photos in lightroom, and all the reviews I've seen have been saying the screen is incredible (Linus even said that when they tested it, it's pretty much on par with a $20K display that was designed for movie directors/crew to view their movies in the most accurate colors). One thing you mentioned in your review that I hadn't even thought of but absolutely will use the iPad for is a monitor for previewing my photos and videos. Thank you for that bright idea. Do I believe this iPad will replace my laptop? No, I never thought it would, and it never could, especially because I'm a Computer Science major. My intention with this iPad was never to replace any of my devices, but to have a device that allows me do things that none of my other devices can. Thank you for your review! Also, the b-roll shots in this video were freaking perfection.
I once owned the first ipad pro, loved it. Had it for a few yrs, my daughter got older and got into drawing. So I gifted it to her because I wasn’t using as often. Here we are in 2024 and I miss having the ipad pro. Want to get back into drawing. I am struggling on getting the 11 or the 13. Have not seen a vid on the difference between the two aside from the obvious…size. Thanks for your input in this vid. Very appreciated.
In 2021 I got the iPad Pro 11, thinking it was big enough, but i switched to the 12.9 fairly quickly. The bigger screen is great, because the iPad is my daily driver: Work, youtube, games, viewing photos and a little drawing. Traveling with the bigger iPad is not an issue for me, and although holder the bigger size in the air is harder, when having it on my lap or table, it is not a problem. Holding and rotating the iPad in the air is easier on the smaller model, but the bigger screen is well worth it in my opinion. Seeing as I use it that much. Feel free to ask me anything if you want!
Your comments around the Apple Pencil are spot on. I often find myself finding a reason to use it!! That said, when I need it - it's an essential part of my kit. Thanks for the video!
Love the Intro! Yes, I'm having a hard time opening the Magic Keyboard on my 13" M4. The opening tip on preventing scrapping is much appreciated. Yes, my M4 is no laptop. I almost went with the 15" MacBook Air, but for travel and coffee shop trips I thought this retired "Old Dude" would be better served with the M4 13" iPad.
The Logitech folio I have my for iPadPro 11" (2nd" gen) has always felt like the inferior product to the Magic Keyboard. However, it has a small flap on the top with a magnet that gives you the extra security for the pencil. I always subconsciously loved that, but just now realized how valuable that is when you mentioning the ProPencil and how it sits. In the very beginning, when you showed how thin it was, my eyes were looking at how that Pencil is somehow has more girth than the new Pros
Ok, I would love to take my hat off to the creative decisions made for this video! Beautiful! As for iPad usage, I’m watching your video along with others to see what is said. I use a M1 12.9 pro with a 49” Samsung display. Overall I love it although it’s taken a moment for Apple and some app makers to finally provide what is needed for my workflow. I spend a lot of time in RDs but I also teach. So being able to go from desktop setup to digital notes at a lectern is beautiful. Only things keeping this from being a 100% setup is: 1. scaling/resolution control for the 49”… but I get it. 2. Remote control during Teams calls although now Zoom has provided a way out on this so it may be a matter of time. 3. Ability to run Audacity. Thank you again for this production. Looking forward to the updates and your findings. I’m still several clicks away from the upgrade
Andres, thank you for sharing🙏 I am a real estate broker, but as an agent I remember the trash cans overflowing with wasted paper. I thought there must be a better way to deliver property info & docs to other agents, that was 19yrs ago. About 10 yrs ago I bought an iPad found a few apps that pretty much did what I needed👍🏼 One day I noticed I Now only rarely use a MacBook when my iPad is almost dead & work can’t wait. I am grateful to all the developers that continue to make my work life way better than 19yrs ago! My 12” iPad is heavy with the apple keyboard but I love it, Sooo looking forward to the 13”…MacBook free!🎉. P.S. there are still agents that can’t go 100% iPad🤷🏻♀️
Another day of seeing tech youtubers completely fail in utilizing the performance of the m4 iPad Pro. At this point I don't think it's even possible. Loved the video tho, superb quality as always.
That is 100% relative to your use case. I have to use a work provided Windows machine for my job… so I only do personal tasks and entertainment on my own machine. The iPad is perfect for that - I don’t need a MacBook at all.
It's funny that everyone tries bring this iPad as close as possible to a MacBook. Many even asked for MacOS on the iPad. If this is the case why not use a MacBook itself if one wants to do the same things on the iPad? Gave up on the idea to use the iPad as a laptop replacement several years ago. I never use a keyboard on my iPad Pro. Why should I try to make a second class laptop out of my iPad? I use it only when an iPad has advantages over my MacBook Air 15", e.g. working in bed or traveling light with a cellular connection build in. If I have to do "real work" I always take my MacBook Air with me. Love this thing!
Funny! .. The amount of time you said "funny" in the video .. But you made a dope video .. This is the first video l watched of yours! Congrats .. You got yourself A new subscriber.😊 PS. Watched it on iPad Pro M4 11 inch 😂
I am running a 8th gen iPad with the 1st gen Apple Pencil. I mainly use it for Freeform when designing user flows in apps, quick iMessage when I’m not near my phone, media consumption and gaming CODM. Apart from, the dated design and low storage(32) I really don’t see any reason to upgrade since I don’t use it for heavy lifting, and is more of a companion device. Maybe when the OS can do more I’ll consider
I also have the 8th gen iPad and apple pencil 1st gen. It's great for reading and note-taking without being as restrictive as kindle scribe or remarkable. I occasionally use a Bluetooth keyboard for extended typing. I don't have plans to upgrade yet.
I got mine the day that they were released and I love mine! having the camera in landscape view is heavenly and the new magic keyboard and pencil feel slightly different compared to the previous model but feels amazing nonetheless.
Bro gave us angles on angles on angles during that unboxing. You would lead us to believe you have 10 cameras and none of them can be seen in each others view point lol Excellent job of shooting
Yeah idk man. Your workload is insane, way more than any average person. You need a computer, it's as simple as that. This isn't meant to be your one and only device. Use it for media consumption, and light tasks/ a partner to a desk set up. It's absolutely great as that, for the average person who just UA-cams, responds to emails, gets school work done, and mobile games, this device is incredible.
I feel like the beginning 10 minutes of the video were so long-winded and drawn out, but when you started to describe the keyboard and your day-to-day use, I was appreciating how thorough you were because this is a day-to-day look that other UA-camrs are not sharing. This is what I was looking for. More anecdotal. The keyboard looks really good and I’m looking to replace my MacBook Pro from eight years ago. So I know it’s a gamble, but I might give it a try. It looks like the keyboard will make it useful for doing some real editing at home on the office. But then I can take it out of the keyboard and take it with me in the car and I can probably do some, scrubbing on the go choose my clip favorites because that’s honestly a big part of the process when it comes to video editing. I think that much at least I could get done on an iPad. I wouldn’t have the excuse. because I can put off editing because it seems like such a big deal in my brain to have to go to my living room and boot up the computer
New sub here , just wanted to take a moment to say I love your content , it amazing and inspiring to me to create similar content, thank you for the effort and the quality you put into your videos and lastly plz be consistent I would love to watch more of your videos.
bro made a short film out of M4 thingy. worth my time. I'm in my bed. Well Fed. Rested. Looking for some tech + cinematic experience. this is what i really wanted. this guy knows how to look.
I’ve got the 11 inch and keyboard. I agree, it’s a bit tough getting it open sometimes. I got a pouch for the pen and a small bag/case to fit both with accessories when I’m on the move.
@@CalifornianVideographythe only reason for the high pricing is the storage capacity, going for a 2tb at least make it 2500, I’m planning to buy me one for transportable purposes
Im a full time iPad Pro user, I do absolutely everything with it. I ditched my MacBook Pro 16 the moment I bought the iPad Pro 13 in December 2020 and there is nothing I could not do with it. I do professional Video editing, Photo editing, 3D design, complex spreadsheets, graphic design, app and web prototyping and so on… once you get used to the versatility of the iPad and how fast is to work with it, it is difficult to come back to work on a laptop or workstation again. I almost never use the mouse, I do not have a touchpath, all I use is the logitec keyboard, the apple pen and my fingers. As long as you are not force to use a desktop only software because there is no iPad equivalent or the iPad limitations do not comply with some processes or programming environment limitations, iPad could be the only work tool you need. And yes it takes some time and some workarounds to get use to it or do the same things as in a desktop or laptop computer. And the same thing applies the other way around, there are things you do with an iPad there are almost impossible to do on a desktop or laptop.
@@oscardiaz4778 Davinci Resolve. On iPad Pros with M processors you can use Final Cut Pro but I have an A chip so I have to use Davinci. Which BTW is free.
I like that you brought up the magnets on the pencil. I have an old 2nd gen iPad Pro with a 2nd gen Apple Pencil, and there have been so many times the pencil has fallen off in my bag, then I panic thinking I lost my $100+ stylus, only to find it in the very bottom of my bag. I usually don't keep it on the iPad if it's in my backpack, I put it in one of the small compartments made for pens. I don't loose it any more, but it kinda sucks that I have to go grab it separately, and that's it's not constantly charged.
You need to get a case with a pen holder. The new magnet design on the M4 and M2 iPads are just to fit the pencil around the landscape camera. It likely wont be strong enough to keep the pencil magnetized to the iPad when bouncing around in your bag.
Bro, my air and previous pencil are killing it in the apple notes game. Regardless I still watched all the way through. Doesn’t matter what you guys put out, I’m going to watch. Love the visuals and real talk.
what an outstanding video sir! Very professional and the production is great. I just subscribed to your channel. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
The iPad for me has never been a replacement device for my desktop or laptop but rather it works best as a companion device that lets me do some basic office tasks with lots of entertainment opportunities.
Nice video. I have been using an iPad as a laptop “replacement” for several years…only recently switching to the pro, transitioning from the iPad, to the iPad Air, to the M1 iPad, and now to the M4 iPad. I still exclusively with the 11 inch model for ease of use and transportability. For my daily use, this is my main “go to machine”, although I do have a Windows laptop for work, and one for gaming at home as well. Having this NEW M4 iPad Pro is a lot of the same, except…the camera. I have a lot of conference calls and this new positioning is GREAT! About the only complaint I have, is that there is a “gesture” issue that causes “thumbs up” or “bubbles” while I’m speaking with colleagues or working on things with other agencies and I’m not sure how to turn it off just yet…oh well. I love all of the other features, so it’s a small price to pay! 😂
The iPad has always been a solution to a problem that never existed. 90% of videos of this genre ("can an iPad replace my laptop?") have the same tropes as before with few differences. No eco-system will work great across different platforms for obvious legacy / loyalty issues. We're trying so hard to do what THEY (apple) should be doing: Justify a product that is a luxury, not a necessity.
Another banger video! Yours are always high quality and some of my favorite vids on YT. I'm waiting for WWDC next month to see what software announcements might come out to be able to really put that M4 to use.
Thank you so much! Yes im almost waiting to see what iPadOS will have for us this year... Im excited to be honest. With such a big announcement, Im hoping to see some big progress to iPadOS
Extremely timely video! I'd love to replace my M3 Air with the 13" M4 iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard, but wasn't sure it could handle advanced file management tasks and full Office apps. Looks like it still lacks that functionality. The thinness as related to durability is a concern, too. I swap my M1 12.9" iPad Pro from a Zugu case to the magic keyboard and back every day. Would doing so with the much thinner M4 version cause any damage? Great work, as always, mate!! You're one of the very best in the business!!
Great video. I think the iPad does not lose any charge when streaming to the TV because the heavy work is done by the TV which is the one loading the stream. The iPad works as a play and paus button.
I’ve got the 12.9 M1 Pro and I’ve only lagged when playing games where I’ve zoomed in on explosions to test. Everything runs completely smooth with no lag if I want it to.
Just curious to know how your experience switching or trying to switch has been like?

Fair you think using an iPad as a MacBook is doing it wrong I just personally like ipads/tablets format, size and stuff like that so I just wish that I could do the same stuff on a iPad as a MacBook so I don’t have to use multiple devices
but from what I seen and the possible upgrades the iOS gets with 18 I think the iPad Pro is at a stage where I can do everything home, school and work stuff I need in a device
So when I have to upgrade my iPad gen 5 I probably go to the new pro and see if I can use it as main device for everything except gaming so their isn’t a need for my MacBook Pro 14 inch m1 so my little sister can get my MacBook
I can’t roll with the 11 Pro. I returned mine and went with the 13. Glad I did.
For me 11" was the sweet spot in school. SO good. Like soso good. Eliminated so much in my backpack. I would very rarely bring my laptop towards the end of my engr and comp sci degree.
Perfect set up for me: OFFICE 365+ Outlook + Samsung S24 Ultra + IPad Pro + huge PC desk and Logitec MX Master 3 suit.
Got M2 pro with 32gb ram 16" and mx master 3s and Samsung s20 fe and i feel this is more than enough for me... feels great
you did nothing all days?
@@hilalrefaiehhilal.designs3795 how is the compatability with the phone and ipad though
Same here!!
M2 to M4 cool. This display is absolutely insane. Especially for what it means for the future of consumer electronics.
Gonna be honest: I own the 9th gen regular iPad, bought it plus the Apple Pencil last year for an internship and it worked beautifully there. Afterwards, the device collected dust on my shelf for months as there simply was no use case for it. I have a PC/MacBook for productive work and a TV for media consumption. So when Apple revealed the new stuff I was like "Aight, cool. But not for me".
But watching your video sort of opened my eyes for the possibility of implementing the iPad+Keyboard+Pencil combo as a killer replacement for my aging MacBook. iPadOS is capable enough for my use cases, and having a device that can transform from a laptop to a tablet seems extremely useful. Of course, price wise it's definitely crazy, but I'm fine with paying more for a better experience. So thanks Andres for showing me this possibility more clearly than anyone's ever done before 🙌🏼
buying this over a MacBook for any reason is crazy, specially considering its more then a MacBook Air and is pretty much the same price of a MacBook Pro and offers way less capability
@@geraldcapo4400 I don't believe that's true for every use case. For gaming, video editing or, as Andres showed in the video, for coding, the Mac is clearly superior. But I use my MacBook for basic office tasks, browsing the web and some light creative work every now and then. Even the base iPad can do all of that very well, plus having the Pencil allows for handwritten notes or sketches which are more complicated to do on Mac. And always having the keyboard attached makes the device less flexible. So in some areas the iPad is also superior I think. Just really depends on what you want to do with it
@@geraldcapo4400I use the M1 iPad Air and the M3 MacBook Pro. Most of the time I go for the iPad since I can do a lot of my stuff on it and it’s better for games and movies. I get where you’re coming from, but if I was cash strapped and needed some kind of laptop then maybe M1/M2 MacBook Air and 10th gen iPad would work. If you can only get 1, 7/10 times I would go for the MacBook but if I could do everything I needed to on the iPad, I’d take it, even if the methods aren’t the most ideal.
@@geraldcapo4400 yes, even an ipad can't do the same as a macbook because of the OS
Don’t fall for it
MKBHD is insane when it comes to tech drops! The new iPads dropped and the man already had vids ready to go!👀🤯
Yeah he really is the GOAT.
Bruh you're the best in the game much respect from🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
hey man I appreciate it a lot. Trying the best we can. Its not perfect but we try!
This video deserves an award not just a sponsorship, you did a great job! Thank you!
Great stuff man, always enjoy your videos!
Thank you so much brother!
Switching to ipad only 3 years ago has been a challenge but every year it gets a little better. I do photography and editing on ipad is way more enjoyable than sitting at a computer with a mouse and keyboard. Theres some things ipad cant do in safari with google drive dragging and dropping files I have to use my old IMac to do sometimes but other than that I really have no reason to go back to a mac. Honestly I think the best combo is a ipad and a mac mini cause now you can use a ipad as an external monitor with a video capture card.
They should make a black Apple pencil pro
Not only black but several colours
And sell it for twice the price
@@Wankidy 😂😂😂
YES
Since you asked whether we'd "switch" to an iPad:
I'm a college student and photographer who's looking into getting the new iPad Pro. I'm very intrigued by the ability to take notes on a tablet in my classes, as well as using the pencil to edit my photos in lightroom, and all the reviews I've seen have been saying the screen is incredible (Linus even said that when they tested it, it's pretty much on par with a $20K display that was designed for movie directors/crew to view their movies in the most accurate colors). One thing you mentioned in your review that I hadn't even thought of but absolutely will use the iPad for is a monitor for previewing my photos and videos. Thank you for that bright idea.
Do I believe this iPad will replace my laptop? No, I never thought it would, and it never could, especially because I'm a Computer Science major. My intention with this iPad was never to replace any of my devices, but to have a device that allows me do things that none of my other devices can.
Thank you for your review! Also, the b-roll shots in this video were freaking perfection.
I once owned the first ipad pro, loved it. Had it for a few yrs, my daughter got older and got into drawing. So I gifted it to her because I wasn’t using as often. Here we are in 2024 and I miss having the ipad pro. Want to get back into drawing. I am struggling on getting the 11 or the 13. Have not seen a vid on the difference between the two aside from the obvious…size. Thanks for your input in this vid. Very appreciated.
In 2021 I got the iPad Pro 11, thinking it was big enough, but i switched to the 12.9 fairly quickly. The bigger screen is great, because the iPad is my daily driver: Work, youtube, games, viewing photos and a little drawing. Traveling with the bigger iPad is not an issue for me, and although holder the bigger size in the air is harder, when having it on my lap or table, it is not a problem. Holding and rotating the iPad in the air is easier on the smaller model, but the bigger screen is well worth it in my opinion. Seeing as I use it that much.
Feel free to ask me anything if you want!
This video really helped me decide whether I should get an iPad for school or a MacBook. And I’m delighted with my new iPad.
Your comments around the Apple Pencil are spot on. I often find myself finding a reason to use it!! That said, when I need it - it's an essential part of my kit. Thanks for the video!
Your editing is top notch bro. Teach me your ways Senpai
7:13 NOT THE SIMS 4 S UI BURNED ONTO THE DISPLAY LMAO.
As a sims fan i can relate and i loved this video sm as i plan on getting an ipad too
You're an amazing filmmaker. The style and camera work are top-notch, making everything crystal clear. Wanted to ask what mic you're using?
The production quality of this is phenomenal. Thanks for the review man👏
Love the Intro! Yes, I'm having a hard time opening the Magic Keyboard on my 13" M4. The opening tip on preventing scrapping is much appreciated. Yes, my M4 is no laptop. I almost went with the 15" MacBook Air, but for travel and coffee shop trips I thought this retired "Old Dude" would be better served with the M4 13" iPad.
you deserve every tech on the planet, the production is 100/100 !!!
The Logitech folio I have my for iPadPro 11" (2nd" gen) has always felt like the inferior product to the Magic Keyboard. However, it has a small flap on the top with a magnet that gives you the extra security for the pencil. I always subconsciously loved that, but just now realized how valuable that is when you mentioning the ProPencil and how it sits. In the very beginning, when you showed how thin it was, my eyes were looking at how that Pencil is somehow has more girth than the new Pros
What an incredible video ❤
Ok, I would love to take my hat off to the creative decisions made for this video! Beautiful!
As for iPad usage, I’m watching your video along with others to see what is said. I use a M1 12.9 pro with a 49” Samsung display. Overall I love it although it’s taken a moment for Apple and some app makers to finally provide what is needed for my workflow. I spend a lot of time in RDs but I also teach. So being able to go from desktop setup to digital notes at a lectern is beautiful.
Only things keeping this from being a 100% setup is:
1. scaling/resolution control for the 49”… but I get it.
2. Remote control during Teams calls although now Zoom has provided a way out on this so it may be a matter of time.
3. Ability to run Audacity.
Thank you again for this production. Looking forward to the updates and your findings. I’m still several clicks away from the upgrade
The first video to show find my working with the pencil pro. Thank you
Andres, thank you for sharing🙏 I am a real estate broker, but as an agent I remember the trash cans overflowing with wasted paper. I thought there must be a better way to deliver property info & docs to other agents, that was 19yrs ago. About 10 yrs ago I bought an iPad found a few apps that pretty much did what I needed👍🏼 One day I noticed I Now only rarely use a MacBook when my iPad is almost dead & work can’t wait. I am grateful to all the developers that continue to make my work life way better than 19yrs ago! My 12” iPad is heavy with the apple keyboard but I love it, Sooo looking forward to the 13”…MacBook free!🎉.
P.S. there are still agents that can’t go 100% iPad🤷🏻♀️
All i have to say is that andres is better than MKBHD for sure 💯
Another day of seeing tech youtubers completely fail in utilizing the performance of the m4 iPad Pro. At this point I don't think it's even possible. Loved the video tho, superb quality as always.
iPad can’t replace MacBook.
as an M1 ipad pro user since 2021, I agree with you
and it never will. Apple will make sure of that.
He's so rich!
That is 100% relative to your use case. I have to use a work provided Windows machine for my job… so I only do personal tasks and entertainment on my own machine. The iPad is perfect for that - I don’t need a MacBook at all.
@@jebaker2 in that case that's the best combo. i hope they upgrade iPad iOS so it could be used as a desktop
this is soooo helpful! I've been trying to figure out if I'd be able to get the M4 as a full-time laptop so I really appreciate this video!
Fantastic video and the most honest out there. Your studio/office looks so good.
How well organized his working space is. Delicious!

Fun fact: Ain't no way im going to like your corny ahh comment
Not from mobile browser
So true but only on mobile 😂
It's funny that everyone tries bring this iPad as close as possible to a MacBook. Many even asked for MacOS on the iPad. If this is the case why not use a MacBook itself if one wants to do the same things on the iPad? Gave up on the idea to use the iPad as a laptop replacement several years ago.
I never use a keyboard on my iPad Pro. Why should I try to make a second class laptop out of my iPad? I use it only when an iPad has advantages over my MacBook Air 15", e.g. working in bed or traveling light with a cellular connection build in. If I have to do "real work" I always take my MacBook Air with me. Love this thing!
Funny! .. The amount of time you said "funny" in the video .. But you made a dope video ..
This is the first video l watched of yours!
Congrats .. You got yourself A new subscriber.😊
PS. Watched it on iPad Pro M4 11 inch 😂
the unboxing angles 😮💨what are you recording voiceovers in btw?
thank you broski!! And DJI lav mics bro. Only for the talking and then I use a Sennheiser MKE 400 for background noise but just a bit.
I am running a 8th gen iPad with the 1st gen Apple Pencil. I mainly use it for Freeform when designing user flows in apps, quick iMessage when I’m not near my phone, media consumption and gaming CODM. Apart from, the dated design and low storage(32) I really don’t see any reason to upgrade since I don’t use it for heavy lifting, and is more of a companion device. Maybe when the OS can do more I’ll consider
I also have the 8th gen iPad and apple pencil 1st gen. It's great for reading and note-taking without being as restrictive as kindle scribe or remarkable. I occasionally use a Bluetooth keyboard for extended typing. I don't have plans to upgrade yet.
One thing iPad iOS needs is multiple user support like Mac. That way multiple people in one household can share the device.
The visuals is nice andres is a good storyteller
Much looove!!
Just facts bro keep grinding brother
for the apple pencil, i bought a minimal apple soft holder that attaches to the back of the case. it’s perfect and looks like the standard
Your videos always have an unique aesthetic appeal and I love it.
Thanks a loot!
I got mine the day that they were released and I love mine! having the camera in landscape view is heavenly and the new magic keyboard and pencil feel slightly different compared to the previous model but feels amazing nonetheless.
Bro gave us angles on angles on angles during that unboxing. You would lead us to believe you have 10 cameras and none of them can be seen in each others view point lol
Excellent job of shooting
Exactlyyy!!
Great office settings you have there, it is indeed my dream office wanna be …
Yeah idk man. Your workload is insane, way more than any average person. You need a computer, it's as simple as that. This isn't meant to be your one and only device. Use it for media consumption, and light tasks/ a partner to a desk set up. It's absolutely great as that, for the average person who just UA-cams, responds to emails, gets school work done, and mobile games, this device is incredible.
Love these videos bro, you’re so good!
Hey thank you so much!
I feel like the beginning 10 minutes of the video were so long-winded and drawn out, but when you started to describe the keyboard and your day-to-day use, I was appreciating how thorough you were because this is a day-to-day look that other UA-camrs are not sharing. This is what I was looking for. More anecdotal. The keyboard looks really good and I’m looking to replace my MacBook Pro from eight years ago. So I know it’s a gamble, but I might give it a try. It looks like the keyboard will make it useful for doing some real editing at home on the office. But then I can take it out of the keyboard and take it with me in the car and I can probably do some, scrubbing on the go choose my clip favorites because that’s honestly a big part of the process when it comes to video editing. I think that much at least I could get done on an iPad. I wouldn’t have the excuse. because I can put off editing because it seems like such a big deal in my brain to have to go to my living room and boot up the computer
Most Expensive NETFLIX Machine 😂
What color is your ipad
@@sergiopalomo9471 Space Grey, I had an old one iPad 2018 after it died in 2022 I bought a Surface Pro it was a Life Changing decision 🤗
Apparently Tandem OLED / stacked OLED has reduced Burnin, because there's less strain than if you use a single layer
Great content bro! Just found your channel and subscribed. You've got a really cool home and office setup. Wishing you much success!
MKBHD gonna beat me to it
He ain't beating you in the aesthetic quality of your video bro
New sub here , just wanted to take a moment to say I love your content , it amazing and inspiring to me to create similar content, thank you for the effort and the quality you put into your videos and lastly plz be consistent I would love to watch more of your videos.
why don't you have a million subs yet!? this guy is A1
Another cinematic piece of art🔥
bro made a short film out of M4 thingy. worth my time. I'm in my bed. Well Fed. Rested. Looking for some tech + cinematic experience.
this is what i really wanted. this guy knows how to look.
Great video, great Sunday. Hope all is well bro
I’ve got the 11 inch and keyboard. I agree, it’s a bit tough getting it open sometimes. I got a pouch for the pen and a small bag/case to fit both with accessories when I’m on the move.
the ipad pro is good but the excess tinness prevent it to have even better hardware and the ios limits it to not compete with the mac sales
i love the cinematography on this video man
Cinematography ♥️📹
The production quality of your video is insane bro
Thank you bro!
$2k+ on an ipad is insanity.
Is this too low or too high?
Too high but its not $2,000 its below that if just ipad and not the 2 other accessories combined.
@@CalifornianVideographythe only reason for the high pricing is the storage capacity, going for a 2tb at least make it 2500, I’m planning to buy me one for transportable purposes
For my office work, moving data and files is the most important, macbook is GREAT for that purpose
Your videos are really interesting
Thanks faaam
Im a full time iPad Pro user, I do absolutely everything with it. I ditched my MacBook Pro 16 the moment I bought the iPad Pro 13 in December 2020 and there is nothing I could not do with it. I do professional Video editing, Photo editing, 3D design, complex spreadsheets, graphic design, app and web prototyping and so on… once you get used to the versatility of the iPad and how fast is to work with it, it is difficult to come back to work on a laptop or workstation again. I almost never use the mouse, I do not have a touchpath, all I use is the logitec keyboard, the apple pen and my fingers. As long as you are not force to use a desktop only software because there is no iPad equivalent or the iPad limitations do not comply with some processes or programming environment limitations, iPad could be the only work tool you need. And yes it takes some time and some workarounds to get use to it or do the same things as in a desktop or laptop computer. And the same thing applies the other way around, there are things you do with an iPad there are almost impossible to do on a desktop or laptop.
can you say what app you use for professional Video editing on the iPad Pro please
@@oscardiaz4778 Davinci Resolve. On iPad Pros with M processors you can use Final Cut Pro but I have an A chip so I have to use Davinci. Which BTW is free.
this video is a banger
Can anyone appreciate the fact that a S24 Ultra is still being rocked! Im sure an iphone is hidden from view but impressive
why you watching logan paul -.-
Cause he can
@@jaylomerewow you’re so cool and edgy bro
@@jaylomereyou’re so edgy bro
I like that you brought up the magnets on the pencil. I have an old 2nd gen iPad Pro with a 2nd gen Apple Pencil, and there have been so many times the pencil has fallen off in my bag, then I panic thinking I lost my $100+ stylus, only to find it in the very bottom of my bag. I usually don't keep it on the iPad if it's in my backpack, I put it in one of the small compartments made for pens. I don't loose it any more, but it kinda sucks that I have to go grab it separately, and that's it's not constantly charged.
You need to get a case with a pen holder. The new magnet design on the M4 and M2 iPads are just to fit the pencil around the landscape camera.
It likely wont be strong enough to keep the pencil magnetized to the iPad when bouncing around in your bag.
Still cant run excel.
Really 😮😮😮😮
Excel and MS Office available on iPad for years.
it could, just ask microsoft to develop it 😅
I got lost in that unboxing haha, I have to know, is it multiple cameras or just 1? Filmed so well
First
Yes siiir 🙏🏽
It’s amazing video with many angles cameras that made my experience significant ❤
How many cameras you have?😅
Bro, my air and previous pencil are killing it in the apple notes game. Regardless I still watched all the way through. Doesn’t matter what you guys put out, I’m going to watch. Love the visuals and real talk.
Man, you are THE BEST tech reviews. Respect!
what an outstanding video sir! Very professional and the production is great. I just subscribed to your channel. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
the video and the audio quality are stunning and also good b roll
Would have liked you to discuss multi-tasking in the iPad as this is the biggest hurdle in my mind vs a computer
The iPad for me has never been a replacement device for my desktop or laptop but rather it works best as a companion device that lets me do some basic office tasks with lots of entertainment opportunities.
Nice video. I have been using an iPad as a laptop “replacement” for several years…only recently switching to the pro, transitioning from the iPad, to the iPad Air, to the M1 iPad, and now to the M4 iPad. I still exclusively with the 11 inch model for ease of use and transportability. For my daily use, this is my main “go to machine”, although I do have a Windows laptop for work, and one for gaming at home as well.
Having this NEW M4 iPad Pro is a lot of the same, except…the camera. I have a lot of conference calls and this new positioning is GREAT! About the only complaint I have, is that there is a “gesture” issue that causes “thumbs up” or “bubbles” while I’m speaking with colleagues or working on things with other agencies and I’m not sure how to turn it off just yet…oh well. I love all of the other features, so it’s a small price to pay! 😂
Good initial question. Answered this for myself a couple of years ago with: No! At present... well...
The iPad has always been a solution to a problem that never existed. 90% of videos of this genre ("can an iPad replace my laptop?") have the same tropes as before with few differences. No eco-system will work great across different platforms for obvious legacy / loyalty issues. We're trying so hard to do what THEY (apple) should be doing: Justify a product that is a luxury, not a necessity.
11” is the same experience opening one handed. Where is your desk mat from?
I have the 11” M1 iPad Pro 256gb. My question is, is it time to upgrade? I’m still really pleased with how it performs….
Great video as always but do you think I can get the same experience with the new iPad Air ?
For most tasks you will probably get the same out of the air, even a bigger screen, now.
Editing from another world. Thank you for the visual fun.
Nice to see a product review made into actual content that’s engaging. Thank you
Another banger video! Yours are always high quality and some of my favorite vids on YT. I'm waiting for WWDC next month to see what software announcements might come out to be able to really put that M4 to use.
Thank you so much! Yes im almost waiting to see what iPadOS will have for us this year... Im excited to be honest. With such a big announcement, Im hoping to see some big progress to iPadOS
I love the way that this Video is edited. I'm happy that I found u :)
Extremely timely video! I'd love to replace my M3 Air with the 13" M4 iPad Pro + Magic Keyboard, but wasn't sure it could handle advanced file management tasks and full Office apps. Looks like it still lacks that functionality. The thinness as related to durability is a concern, too. I swap my M1 12.9" iPad Pro from a Zugu case to the magic keyboard and back every day. Would doing so with the much thinner M4 version cause any damage? Great work, as always, mate!! You're one of the very best in the business!!
You need to consider launching 2 videos per week. Im always waiting for Sundays to watch you.
Great video. I think the iPad does not lose any charge when streaming to the TV because the heavy work is done by the TV which is the one loading the stream. The iPad works as a play and paus button.
I’ve got the 12.9 M1 Pro and I’ve only lagged when playing games where I’ve zoomed in on explosions to test. Everything runs completely smooth with no lag if I want it to.
