i’ve been using my iPad Pro as my main device since December 2020, i’m only a student, but the pencil and magic keyboard makes it really convenient and easy to use, I changed my old laptop for the iPad, and it works superbly. its grate for taking notes, both with the apple pencil and with the magic keyboard.

[@Matthew-fj6eu]

That's awesome dude

[@studentofpsychology2556]

But how do you Write your essays? I used the iPad Pro aswell, but had to change it for a MacBook, due to the fact That the Microsoft Office Apps on the iPad sucked!! For example the Word App, doesn‘t offer the function (bibliography etc) I really Need to write my essays for my studies. 😅

[@studentofpsychology2556]

* That i really Need

[@arkcorps9138]

@@studentofpsychology2556 what do you mean by bibliography? I’ve written all my essays with just the iPad it’s the same thing

[@studentofpsychology2556]

@@arkcorps9138 i am sorry! I am from germany, my english is so Bad. :/ I Googled it and it says its something like Where your „List of References“ goes. Or list of Literatur? That die example did Not work In the word App on the iPad And Some other settings / adjustments Most of the Universities require.. But i am happy ist worked out for you! :)

[@faith5283]

watching this as if i have an ipad😭

[@QistinaAtiqah]

New sub! I love the way you show tech without being too “energetic” and “techy”. Feels super relaxing to watch and I understand better 🤗

[@ByteReview]

I always try and avoid that sort of thing so I’m glad it connected with you! Welcome to the channel 🙌🏻

[@officialbailey6029]

I know this sounds really extra, but I was tired of having to go pay to print my math notes every day (cause I live on a college campus where we're not allowed to have our own printers in my dorm building) so I used the money that I got back from a covid relief fund to my school and bought an iPad and apple pencil so I can download and edit all of my notes and it's game changing, especially if you have an apple laptop because your files automatically show up on there and you can choose to download which ones you want to have on the iPad, and I've been using it to make weekly calendars and daily to-do lists and it's been super helpful

[@exzisd]

One reason I’m in with all Apple products from iPhone to Apple Watch to MacBook and iPad etc. is because it makes everything so simple with iCloud. I love having everything be able to sync up to all my notes and data so effortlessly. I wouldn’t want to go back to past devices. I’ve been fully Apple since 2007 and I’ve checked out other phones, computers, tablets, and wearables but Apple continues to be the best. Seem less, simple, refined, and versatile.

[@marlijnkoopsen6244]

Love the video! My iPad used to be an addition to my macbook, but lately it’s been te other way around! I’m a 2nd year law student and the iPad is so good for notetaking etcetera. I now only really use my macbook for editing large documents, but for almost everything else I prefer the iPad. Also much lighter when I have in-person classes and need to carry it around campus 😃

[@joselucnico]

Take a look to IA Writer on iPad. Useful and efficient textwriter.

[@heathermaupin6860]

Magic keyboard really changes everything for me on an iPad. Sure it’s not a computer, but it essentially functions as a computer for me. Plus convenience and easy makes the iPad easier and more enjoyable to use versus my touch screen HP.

[@ByteReview]

Yeah that's fair enough, the magic keyboard is such a good addition if you are looking for more classic computing tasks

[@BubVisuals]

I LOVE your shot composition, great video!

[@ByteReview]

Ahhh thanks my dude!

[@sophieg7021]

I bought a refurbished iPad 6th generation in April. Although it isn’t the newest device on the market I’m totally happy with it!! As a student I mainly use it for taking notes with GoodNotes or sometimes take zoom classes when I’m not at home since I use my MacBook for that. The iPad is more handy than my laptop and when I have to go to Uni I always take it with me. My iPad has 128 GB of storage and that’s definitely enough; I need this much storage!

[@sakshituralkar2661]

Omg same I recently bought an iPad 6th gen its so useful

[@microMobilidade]

I have used an ipad pro as my main and only device for several years now. All I would like is that apple continues to develop it thinking of it as a tablet. Yes the keyboard folio is great but not for my use as that for me counts as having a laptop. I really like the tablet only design to work and doodle using the pencil. I only use the on-screen keyboard and have a logi mouse for spreadsheets. So like you said the experience is different for everyone so go ahead and have fun exploring yours

[@ByteReview]

Great advice

[@eetfuk1776]

Well said!

[@theninja1024]

To be honest I like Samsung better there features well like 7/10 are better than apple

[@theninja1024]

And with the key board and mouse it much better on Samsung than iPad iPad just lacks on keyboard and mouse

[@amazingsupergirl7125]

I can’t stand the idea of pulling one of my laptops. Ugh.

[@jeorgepaolo]

Great video Tom! As a creator who solely uses an iPad for photos and videos I definitely agree on you on this one. There’s a fine line between a laptop and an iPad but we just gotta appreciate what iPads can do these days. They’re such amazing tools now! 🔥

[@ByteReview]

Thanks for watching, Jeorge! And I agree!

[@samuelmanny6231]

Lumafusion 3.0 is so much better now

[@thecitizens4573]

What app did you use for vid editing? I’m a videographer myself. Want to try using iPad on the go

[@iamnoellem]

your videos just have this warm feeling. no other tech channel can do this as well as YOU CAN! keep being amazing 🌿💓🌸

[@ByteReview]

Ahh thank you so much! Trying to be a little different for all the super clean channels out there 🙏🏻

[@12thDecember]

New subscriber here. I bought an iPad to edit manuscripts. It's way easier and more intuitive for me to mark up the manuscript on the left side and write corresponding notes on the right side in split screen, instead of trying to edit the manuscript via typing on the laptop. There's just something about writing by hand that connects better with the creative side of the brain.

[@zachmiller7869]

Totally agree with you too many people title their videos “why I’m selling my M1 IPad Pro” and hit the same points saying it can’t do what their laptops can. I always thought of it as something in between. I personally only use an IPad but I’m not doing anything that requires a laptop, but its more than capable for the things I’m doing and I just enjoy the platform better.

[@nono-gw7qm]

When the first 9.7 iPad Pro came out my parents bought it for me. I didn’t have a laptop yet, but back then I didn’t really need it. I used it to watch KZbin and Netflix, study using quizlet and take notes. I loved it. I had the Apple Pencil and the Smart Folio keyboard but mostly just used the pencil. And I used that iPad for five years. When I started university I decided to upgrade to the newest M1 iPad Pro. I’m so happy with it. I use it along side a MacBook Air and it’s making my life at university so much easier. 100% recommend it

[@vicshift6207]

Perfect timing ! Super quality as always. Keep shining!

[@ByteReview]

Thanks!

[@xUnic31x]

Love the shot where you pushed the apple pencil to its charging magnet

Thanks! Glad it was helpful 🙏🏻

[@jaredsatx8836]

The magic keyboard changed the iPad for me, I was always on the fence of buying it because it was $300 but back in May, Amazon had the magic keyboard on sale for 200 and ever since it came in, I don’t think there has been a day that I haven’t used it. Really changes the experience for sure

[@ByteReview]

Yeah they’re so good, really changes the experience!

[@m.s.a.s9194]

What do you use it for usually? I have an iPad and I don’t know weather to buy the keyboard or not

[@AhavaBeauty31]

I have only just found your channel but I really like your content. I started searching for more in depth tutorials and guides when I got my iPad - and I can honestly say I keep coming back to your videos over anyone else! Keep up the good work!!

[@ByteReview]

Ayyy thank you! Glad the videos have been helpful

I only really use tech videos for what I’m specifically searching for, but this video was so genuine and helpful (plus loved Arietty in the background) so I’m subscribing - thanks xx

[@ByteReview]

Thank you! Arietty 💚

[@KiLLJOY1056]

As an Artist all I need is my Apple Pencil and im good. I find that typing on the Virtual Keyboard is faster using Swipe or Scribble, than typing on a regular keyboard is for me (not a fast typer). So I scribble all my notes or anything I need to type and I love it. Saves time, space, and money using the iPad with Scribble and Swipe rather than an expensive Keyboard!

[@aliingram7908]

Thank you for doing these videos! They help so much.

[@SkittlesBeats]

Super late to your video! I was actually helping my mom VESA mount her two 27” monitors for her work desk and she loves them! I told them I got the idea from a certain KZbinr I watch every weekend 👉🏾👈🏾 (psst, that’s you!) Still a great video, I actually learned a lot! Can’t wait to push my iPad usage to new heights! I’ve currently been using it as a second display for my iMac!

[@ByteReview]

Ahhh that’s cool, VESA mounts are the way forward!

I use and love the ipad Mini! Use it for reading in bed in the evening (love how light it is), for watching Netflix, Apple+ oder Disney+ in the train when I am out to my way to work and the kids use it for school and to play apps. At the moment we have the iPad mini 2 and love it. We will get the 6th gen soon, maybe for christmas :)

[@matthewreeves-smith1707]

You will love the new mini, it’s so much better than the old models and the pencil support opens it up for many more uses.

[@Krismap]

Pencil and magic keyboard were a game changer for me!

[@itsmanuelrc]

Ayy thanks!

[@AlexanderKrebs]

I’m iPad only since October 2017 (iPad Pro 9.7”) and never looked back. I had a 12” MacBook back then but sold it when the first 11” Pros came along. Only hard thing was to reset my computing “muscle memory”

[@AmorepassionatemeBlogspot]

You made a very great point in this video. I ignored Apple’s marketing and use my iPad Pro as an addition to my MacBook Air-not a replacement. Doing so, allows me to maximize the capabilities of both devices.

[@ByteReview]

This is the way to go 🙌🏻

I bought a second hand ipad pro as I wanted to switch to digital art. It's been amazing for drawing but now I'm gonna try use it for my studies more. The battery lasts a good time but I really wish it would last a few days

Get an ipad for note-taking and absolutely love it. I can undo so my notes are not so messed up.

ur set up is such a vibe. subscribed

[@ByteReview]

Thanks man, welcome to the channel 🙏🏻

[@robertmaxey5406]

In my personal day to day experiences, my opinion (going back to my gen 1 iPad,) is when you add a keyboard case and stylus to an iPad, there is no difference between an iPad and laptop. I put my laptops into storage and I have never looked back. I just took delivery on a new iPad 10 and over the last week, my opinion has only grown stronger. That being said, it most certainly depends on the user and his or her needs. Love your work, keep going.

[@jeffrey_jpeg]

I have an Android tablet, but love the ideas and content. I subbed and I'm going to keep watching to learn more and to enjoy the vibes.

Nice job, as always, on this one. I have both the Smart Keyboard Folio and the Magic Keyboard case for mine, and like them both - and prefer the Smart Keyboard Folio due to its less weight and flexibility. But, I’ve gotten used to having the trackpad and miss it when it’s not available. So, it depends on the day which one I’ll use. Thanks for all your videos. Keep it going!
