2 Reasons why you should get the M2 iPad Air

[@dreamdrummer01]

This ipad makes perfect sense to me as a musician. I don't need the latest tech in screens, I don't need a keyboard (for live gigs) or a pencil, it is powerful enough, and the screen size is a joy. The USB port is faster than i need to record and i never use the rear camera. Not everything is Video Editing or coding

[@johndoyle325]

I'm curious, what software do you use to record? I want to try Logic, but it won't run on my 2017 iPad Pro. I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade to the M2 Air or M4 Pro. Thanks.

[@dylanbrassel]

I recently upgraded from a M1 iPad Air to the M2 iPad Air 13 inch and I love it so much. Super powerful and the bigger screen is just awesome.

[@QUANTUM-yu5qf]

Do you make notes if yes …is there any type of lag while note taking…at it is 60 hz display

[@applerunner1184]

@@QUANTUM-yu5qfI have the iPad mini and the iPad Pro. To be honest, I don’t really notice the difference. I think this a feature hyped up by KZbin reviewers…

[@chidorirasenganz]

@@QUANTUM-yu5qfno there’s no lag. Even my first iPad Air (3rd gen) never had any lag

[@dylanbrassel]

@@QUANTUM-yu5qf Yes I do make notes. With the Apple Pencil and just general typing. No lag at all. It’s a beast this iPad. I don’t need 120hz on an iPad to be honest. 8gb ram is also more than sufficient for my tasks which is mainly streaming, emails, note taking and social media.

[@Wogger1]

I have upgraded from the M1 to the M2 also! Love it

[@emnms02]

This iPad is the perfect option for artists!! Personally, the investment of an iPadpro+ Apple pencil was far too expensive, so this new option, compatible with the Pencil pro and with the Education discounts is an amazing quality-prize option! It’s perfect as a first iPad for any artist without a big budget tbh, you get the newest features, updates plus the pencils pressure sensitivity, haptic response and barrel roll, All this without adding that the multitask options make it super easy to do homework or attend online classes, the gaming quality is good and the battery holds 3-4 full hours of video conference with Bluetooth headphones and the Apple pencil attatched… I don’t like 2nd hand devices either, so it really feels like I bought just last year’s Pro with an amazing price point… writing from my 1 month-old iPad air M2, I really reccomend!!!

[@brotherurth1625]

I don’t get why people struggle with the 13” iPad Air, it’s Pro-lite at an affordable price. For me it was far more attractive than its Pro M4 cousin, and does everything I need it to. The screen size and M2 chip made it a no brainer for me. The Apple Pencil Pro was a bonus, although living in the UK, sadly we don’t get a power brick (even though we pay more for the device!).

[@ashenone5774]

how is the drawing/writing experience? do you feel that what you write lags behind your pen? or does the writing feel natural? literally that's the only aspect I care for right now!

[@Justmakesomenoiz]

It's just that apple cheap out on the screens. Like on the phones. Get over the 60hz now. Or atleast give the consumer 90hz that's a step in the right way atleast.

[@Michael-ur5qb]

@@JustmakesomenoizI agree it’s time to start moving past this screen. A single OLED rather than tandem will do the trick. This Ipad will only be worth buying for another year. After that wait, cause the next reported screen will make this a great deal again.

[@marinachan6296]

I bought a 11” M2 IPad Air 2 weeks ago. Bought it for its compact size for travel purpose and it’s compatible with pencil pro which i enjoy using. I hv a MacBook Pro for work purposes and an old IPad Pro 13” which is already 6yrs old, the Air is a wonderful addition to my lifestyle.

[@Juhsentuh]

I traded in my beloved iPad mini 5 for the M2 11" iPad Air with no regrets. I wanted a bigger iPad with a laminated display. I purchased from Apple education store with a trade in and was able to get the base model for less that $400 with tax. Not everyone needs a iPad Pro. I had my mini for 5 years and definitely plan to keep the Air for much longer than that.

[@wanderingfool6312]

Recently upgraded from the first gen iPad Pro to the 13 iPad Air. I’ve increased the resolution and used mine mainly for Lightroom. It’s a brighter screen than my old tablet. Is blazing fast and has all that extra real estate, I love it. I’m now ordering the pencil pro for painting etc. I didn’t immediately notice the lack of pro-motion. But then I don’t spend my time flicking the pages back and forward to try and spot the difference. So another £400 for the pro has no real benefit for me. Additionally, I’m not spending over a thousand pounds on the iPad Air because I don’t need a keyboard, also currently the cheapest iPad Pro M1 12.9” in the UK from Apple is £1369!

[@MegaTyler97]

Got an 11 inch entry model iPad Air. Going back to school, so it’s plenty for what I’ll need as a student as a digital note taking device and doing Microsoft Office work here and there. Also did Apple Trade in with my old iPad so I got it at a pretty solid price.

[@yours1ana]

@@MegaTyler97 HELP. does ur overheat when taking notes? i’m in hs and i plan on majoring in engineering and i want one for school/college (must last 6 years) so i want the ipad air m2 128gb. but i heard of overheating issues while taking notes? notes r my primary purpose so jsut making sure.

[@henkejohansson7433]

Don’t listen to this dude. Used crap is a no go, and the pro is just totally unnecessary. Go M2 Air. Best iPad for the cash.

[@Justmakesomenoiz]

What are u rambling about. Jesus almighty if u purchase from the right sellers used are a really good route. And why pay top dollar for a worse machine? U get promotion, probably the pen and also a magic keyboard for less then just the iPad air. Its a no brainer

[@evelinagarcia6012]

Ahhhh yes trying to start the ww3🤡

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

Exactly these dude is clearly out of touch with the market. It’s clear this guy has barely even used anything outside of an iPad Pro craving. It is better to get a used iPad Pro M2 because of the display and other superficial and and unnecessary features shows the kind of person he is. I mean someone like this with you it will never truly appreciate something like the iPad Air M2.

[@Remarite]

If you guys paid attention to the video he mentions most people wouldn’t do that since you don’t know what to expect so he recommends buying it new

[@DaniellaNicoleS]

@@henkejohansson7433 have had great experiences with used products. It is great for sustainability and even though I am upgrading from my 5 year old come January iPad Pro it is still a wonderful iPad just ready for a little more speed, Apple Pencil pro, and the battery life is just now getting a little inconvenient (maybe 5 hours of medium run time on low brightness). I have to say I love getting new products but just the “new” part is what most people are after. However, most people will use a product 2-3 years before upgrading unfortunately and for them it is better to get a preowned iPad (apple certified refurbished) and then when a necessary upgrade use as a trade in.

[@peteranderson7497]

I have purchased TWO iPad Air 13" models!. One is for my wife and one is for me and we don't fit into either of your buyer categories. We are both in our mid (late for me) seventies; my wife has sight problems and finds the 13" iPad much much better for media consumption. While I have a Mac Mini, the 13" iPad is an essential step in the progress to using iOS devices as my only computers. I have a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard so that my hardware at least is as good or better than any MacBook. If only iPadOS could get some proper support the iPad would be perfect for me. iPadOS desperately needs the Files app to be at the same standard as the macOS Finder and having an alternative backup method to iCloud would be great. Thanks fo

[@bryans8656]

As soon as the Air 5 price dropped to $399US after the release of the new Air I bought one. The 11' screen, M1 chip, and 64GB storage are more than enough for me.

[@jlmonterrosa14]

I know people like to recommend used a lot when talking about this product. But simply put used is a gamble, there’s a reason why it’s cheap. You have no idea how people treat their products. You don’t know if it was secretly dunked in water for a minute but seems to be working fine. Refurb is a better alternative. But for something brand new? The iPad Air M2 is a great buy and a significant discount from the m4 iPad pros. Especially for someone who wants the larger screen size. The m2 iPad Air is a great product. The used market doesn’t change that.

[@imsirenv.]

I bought this iPad and I can’t wait for it to arrive! I currently have the iPad 8th gen.

[@FloeticEnigma]

Yooooooo. I didn't realize the old ipad pro cases fit this one. Thank you! I had the original 11" ipad pro, went to the M1 12.9" (didn't have cellular, so I also go the mini 6th gen with cellular) and finally downgraded to the new M2 Air with cellular. I never got rid of my 11" cases. I just realized my keyboard case fits. I just have to cutout the space for the larger touch ID button.

[@brianbreeding1]

I traded in my iPad Air 4th generation using Apple trade-in for an iPad Air M2. Price, with tax, now less than 400.00. Absolutely no reason to add Apple’s case/keyboard at well over 200 when I can get something very similar for less than 60.00. Apple Pencil? Meh. Sure, I might have been able to get a better after market price for my 4th gen., but considering I work 40+ hours a week and deal with aging in-laws, walking into an Apple store and taking care of EVERYTHING except the case from Amazon was a no-brainer. Very, very seldom does the average consumer HAVE to purchase the top of the line anything.

[@domb363]

I really can’t decide if I am going to “upgrade” my iPad Pro 2018 to the 2024 Air or get a refurbished M2 iPad Pro when they come to the Apple Store. Has anyone switch to the new Air? I know it comes with downsides I.e. lack of pro motion etc. are the trade off worth it.

[@karenkaverman4966]

I have the new iPad Air 13. As far as battery life goes I saw on another video it was recommended to only charge your iPad to 80% as it will be better for the long term life of your battery. Do you believe this to be true? 🐬🆙

[@bobdrums]

As a musician using my iPad Pro mainly for reading sheet music, the 13" Air is perfect for me. Sure 120Hz would be nice, and the quad speakers are great but as an upgrade from my 2015 12.9" iPad Pro this is what I've been waiting for. Longer battery and a bit less weight is more valuable to me over the nicer "Pro" features. As a teacher I'm hoping for Apple's back to school deal to include £100 gift card and I'll be able to get the base 13" iPad Air and Pencil Pro all in for only £768 instead of £928 which would be sick! 🤞

[@applerunner1184]

Hmm, not sure I buy your premise. People buy based on value. The iPad Air is the best buy for folks new to the IPad.

[@HistoryNut-1701]

I would get one because I can use the keyboard that I already have and still be able to put the M2 chip to use. The lower spec display doesn’t bother me as I rarely notice how good my M1 12.9” iPad Pro screen is when compared to the display on my iPad Mini 6.

[@thenotoriousjoey9956]

True I feel the same way as I have a MacBook Pro m3 pro if I need a good display I could just view it on Mac

[@picnicphoto]

I have a (battery problem) 2018 12.9 and use an M1 2021 12.9 Pro daily. I likely won't upgrade for a year or so and then Ipad Air will likely be a worthwhile upgrade. We'll see then--I would not upgrade from my 2021 M1 to the 2024 Air (12.9) right now.

[@irvinson4026]

Looking at an upgrade from an M1 iPad Air to the M2 iPad Air. The affordable price for that right now (4 mo post this video) is phenomenal, compared to when I first bought the M1 iPad Air about two years ago. Great info, btw. 🐬

You still enjoying it? What storage capacity do you have? I'm considering the M1 iPad Air because some places have the 64GB version on sale for $200 off, so $399 which I've been strongly considering.

[@mikemorris2998]

I got the new 11 inch iPad air M2 because I wanted to use a pencil. Because I don’t like the market refurbished products because it gives me exactly what I need and a less expensive price point than the iPad Pro M4, which I returned.

[@frontpocketsockpupet]

its $549 on sale at amazon rn, has a much better chip than the base model ipad 10th gen and has 128gb vs 64gb in base configuration. I dont really care that much about the better screen nor do i need the faster performance of the ipad pro so its kind of in the sweet spot of price vs performance to what i would want out of an ipad.

I have the ipad pro 10.5. I'm a artist and animator. I was looking at 11 inch I pad pro. But 13 inch air sounds good too but your right I;would lose pro motion

I love my new air 13 inch! The screen is amazing, battery life is awesome. It’s really fast and has good sound. I like everything about it. (I came from iPad 10). I’ve even had a pro before, but it was overkill and heavy so I sold it. Maybe the new lighter version is great if you want to spend 1200 bucks or more go for it.

(Replying from my 11” M2 air) I would say probably not. The only things the 13” Air really have over the M2 Pro is more software updates, landscape front camera, and compatibility with Apple Pencil Pro (and bigger screen if you have the smaller Pro). M2 iPad Pro has the same (possibly better) chip, a better screen, better cameras, better speakers, Face ID, and more.

I’m definitely one of those people that’s not interested in the used market when it comes to the iPad or any Apple product because I was burnt with the iPhone 5c and I won’t go that rude again and also the M2 iPad Air is more than powerful enough for my needs which will probably be video editing and obviously maybe using it as a monitor for my switch so that I can record short gameplay clips I mean it’s going to be a game changer for me as upgrading from my current iPad, which is the 9th generation iPad. I by the way your advice is terrible because the iPad Air M2 is my father best iPad for most people I mean other than the promotion 120 Hz display, a used iPad Pro wouldn’t make any sense especially as you’re pretty much essentially getting an iPad Pro with the new iPad Air and you don’t know what you’re gonna really get with the market because a lot of these sellers of used iPads and what not lie about it and what about Apple? You can’t use AppleCare with a used or refurbished iPad, this was more over an opinion rather than actually giving advice.

This could be one of the worse advice videos I’ve seen in awhile. Suggesting to consumers to purchase a refurbished or used iPad Pro over a new iPad Air with M2. In my opinion, a lot of iPad users out there would benefit greatly buying the new iPad Air over used and refurbished, mainly because you never know what you’re getting with used and refurbished isn’t a guarantee also, even though it’s a much better option but also you can’t get Apple Care on anything used or refurnished so that alone should deter most users, unless they need a pro version and those users usually already know what they need.
