How to get the MOST from your iPad

[@melomarshmelo7953]

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! :)

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.

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@Bampiss]

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

[@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

[@itsdtxjd]

For me iPad Pro has replaced my laptop. I do everything on it. Work, social media, Photo and video editing. Glad I got the 12.9 inch with cellular. It’s a dream using it

[@BubVisuals]

I LOVE your shot composition, great video!

[@ByteReview]

Ahhh thanks my dude!

[@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.

[@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

[@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 🙏🏻

[@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 🙌🏻

[@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.

[@samoben1042]

Thanks!

[@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!

[@JoashRobinKale]

Great video but no one is talking about the movie 'Arrietty' by Studio Ghibli being played on screen 😅❤

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.

[@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.

[@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!!

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!

[@jadelynelle218]

Nice vid! That bit about pc =/= iPad was really helpful. 1) I think my issue is I just don't know how to use my iPad, and I have no idea what to do with it for that reason. I've used it a little bit for University in the beginning. But I thought I'd be able to take great notes and use it to budget and plan; now I honestly just forget about it every day. 2) I have a stylus that is compatible with it now (long story) which I'm glad about, still looking for a nice but cheap Bluetooth keyboard that is compatible..the one I bought didn't work at all. 3) I opened up a free planning app on it once and I couldn't even use the content and gave up. Everything costs money, and the free ones aren't very user-friendly or have interfaces that are set up in a way that makes logical sense to me. Anyone with suggestions in the comments, please let me know!

You hit the nail on the head- the best feature of the ipad once you decide to try it, is the pure enjoyment. It is just a more enjoyable device for me overall.

[@ByteReview]

Yep, if you can get your work done on there it's a such a good experience!

[@CrimFerret]

I was given an Ipad by my sister because she literally had no uses for it. I'm trying to come up with something my phone, Kindle, or desktop doesn't do as well or better. I'm having fun with some sketchpad apps and some music synthesizers. I've got a few note taking apps as well. For right now it's basically a toy for me. It has a keyboard (which I used just enough to make sure it worked) and an Apple Pencil knockoff which is fine. The main issue I've found is it's an awkward form factor whether at my desk or in bed. If I go out, my phone has everything I generally need. I'm certainly not paying for apps for the time being, especially as they seem to be more expensive much of the time than similar ones for my phone.

I'm a teacher, and I was considering buying a new laptop because my old one is pretty, well old.

Would an iPad do this better than a laptop, or would it at least be cheaper?

[@2spoons]

Great KZbin footage Byte Review...... I've lived of Laptops connected to larger monitors - but since Christmas 2022 I now use my iPad so much more as I'm in hotels and the iPad and Pencil really work together and in comparison the Pencil and laptop is a no go.... its lighter weight and on holiday it weights so much less in travel and often flying there are weight restrictions too.....

Not to make this a Samsung Galaxy Tab S vs iPad comparison but having owned both, the writing experience with the S Pen is unparalleled. They don’t even come close. The Apple Pencil just looks better. Also, after getting the iPad Pro 2020 I realised: the app gap is not that big as I had initially thought, front camera placement matters, hold the iPad vertically, then try split screen. Good luck with that.

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.

The pencil would be more ideal if there was a way to keep it in place considered with the cases. Natively I mean. In one of those elegant apple type of ways. Just so I can throw it in my bag and not worry about it coming of or falling of if I pull it out in a dangerous situation, I sketch a lot on location, while the current solution and hardware are great and elegant I sort of miss the click in stylus at those moments.
