[@ChrisLawley]

What is your favorite iPad accessory? Links tho everything I talked about are in the description of this video.

[@allanfreeman6131]

The Apple Magic Keyboard. The Pencil is good, but I no longer use it for work since I changed jobs a few ago, now I just use the iPad as a KZbin viewer.

[@fiiifa3833]

Apple Pencil and contollers

[@patrickgamboa7270]

That second iPad mini hanging on the side is definitely overkill, but I totally love it 😂

[@ChrisLawley]

It’s one of the most ridiculous things I have ever done and I love it! It’s really useful if you need just a bit more screen real estate.

[@slob5041]

It’s amazing

[@yippiecalle421]

Universal control on iPads and iPhone would make the magnetic mounts amazing.

[@robertdevadason1885]

Who needs a laptop when you can use 2 iPads 😂

[@dawsongrunzweig6382]

That capture card could be a real game changer for me! can’t wait to check it out

[@lancomtre]

The 2 monitors iPad setup with the iPad mini is really overkill but i love it so much haha. Great idea here Chris

[@Jorda5s]

Better off using your phone does pretty much the same thing and just get a MagSafe stand. Longer battery brighter screen.

[@mkltattoos]

@@Jorda5s you can also add a magsafe charger to the edge pro mount. I use it all the time to just keep my phone visible next to my iPad when working.

[@jeffhale1189]

Thanks for sharing. My favorite accessory is the Magic Keyboard. Blessings on your day.

[@DGYtown]

Great video. All your videos are quick and don’t drag on. Keep up the great work

[@ThomasEJohnson]

I do like the newer 12.9” Keyboard/Trackpad case that ESR has. I did not notice any issues aside from using the battery quickly when the backlit keys fired up.

[@laceyu]

the backpack for the iPad with small pockets is just hilarious! I would never thought that such thing exists 😮

[@ChrisLawley]

It’s a really great idea if you just need some cables, power brick, and airpods.

[@laceyu]

@@ChrisLawley a question here. do you have the Smart Folio case? if yes, do you think this backpack would fit it as well? 🤔

[@salocin9009]

The “iPad backpack” for the Magic Keyboard honestly looks useful for bags without many pockets, too bad I went for Logitechs Combo Touch keyboard cause it has a bigger trackpad and lets me use the iPad without the keyboard while still keeping it protected and adding a kickstand. Also it prolly costs >$100

[@AnthonyMarkSchellenberg]

I’m spoiled by the pencil I have. It’s from ESR and it magnetically charges, works even with Bluetooth off, it is space grey, and the best part is the capacitive “eraser” end which I use all the time instead of my greasy fingers to tap etc. It’s also only around $40 Canadian and seems to do everything the Apple pencil does except the double tap and pressure sensing. Love it. I don’t think I could go back to using a pencil without that soft capacitive “eraser”, I don’t know why more pencils don’t have that.

[@dominator5498]

The one accessory I use that's similar to one you use is the OWC Thunderbolt 'Go Dock'. It's made to be portable and it has 2.5 gig ethernet instead of 1 gig.

[@MW-nb7yy]

The stand is the absolute best.

[@CBL138]

Great video. You covered a lot of tech in a short time. Do you know of a good file manager for iPads? I have a Mac and need to transfer files to and from at times. Thanks

[@lerychfotovideo]

Great vid! My fav is also a logitech mx anywhere 2s mouse that I use with iPad.

[@Sqwigly_Llama]

I’m looking into making my iPad and Magic Keyboard combo into a “Cyberdeck”of sorts, just for fun and aesthetics. I like what you have going on here, giving me some good ideas!

[@MrGadgetsBMO]

Great video. I agree about the Apple keyboard/folio/Magic Keybaord with the exception of 'when it works.' Have you ever experienced the "Accessory not supported" when attaching the iPad to the Magic Keyboard? Very frustrating. Appreciate the video, always great to see how others use their devices and accessories! Will be following your videos from here on out! Glad to be here.

[@toddcastaldi6536]

I have a Rolling Square Edge Pro as well on my iPad Pro 11” to hold my iPhone. I love it! Wish I could post a pic.

[@ReinaldoNeo]

Hi Chris. I've been following your shortcut videos for a long time. Especially for use on the iPad. I recently bought a Macbook and I still haven't found a way to run the shortcuts on the iPad through the Mac and vice versa. Do you know if it's possible? If so, could you recommend me related content? Thank you and congratulations on the content!

[@jonwages08]

Loving the blink reference, prob their best album in the last 15 years!

[@ChrisLawley]

I love it sooooo much!

[@soyyo5260]

Great video. What is your workflow when recording what the Podtrak P4? Do you edit audio for podcasts in the iPad, say in Ferrite? How do you move/edit/duplicate files?

[@DDP_213]

Great video, I just got an iPad Pro 11 I’m going to try it out for 6 to 8 months before I decide to go for the 12 inch . I will definitely be grabbing some of these accessories.

[@manuelhollert6682]

Hi Chris - could you please tell a little more about your video call setup with the Guermok Capture Card and your external camera? Would it be possible to hook an additional microphone too?

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome & Thanks Sir :)

[@sarimgohar]

From also owning that Anker power brick, it is definitely not comparable to any other power bank I have used before. Definitely recommended if you don’t mind carrying a slightly heavy power brick.

[@themainman00]

Are you able to use one of those magnetic power adapters for the USB-C port on the hinge of the Magic Keyboard without issue?

[@iFarsight]

Do you know of a good chest bag/carrier for the iPad 12.9 inch?

[@starttofinishmediaco.2520]

How do u like video editing on the iPad? I would love if it could edit solidly and for larger projects. Not just reels lol

[@christopherhudson8830]

In the voice of Xzibit "Yo, we heard you like iPads so we put an iPad on your iPad!"

[@SteveHinrichs]

The absolute best tip I have ever seen was mounting the mini on the Magic Keyboard. Could a person use Orion and the capture card to use the mini as a second monitor? Then turn on stage manager on the iPad Pro?

[@yuvrajrana5404]

you look like a good guy, i hope your channel grows 100 folds and more

[@randizzle99]

By any chance have you tried the DOQO 3/Aluhub? I have one - might be my favorite now.

[@uzzzzy]

Great Accessories Chris, i will try the magnetic holder on my ipad. I do something similar with my samsung tablet and phone because Samsung has it multi Control (similar to apple Universal Control) across its tablet and phone. It is amazing. You can use your tab keyboard and mouse on the phone. It works for laptops, phones, and tablets, so you can use 😮 or takeyboardord and mouse across all 3 devices. Hopefu, apple will introduce that.

[@77flyer]

What u recommend for my iPad 12.9 that I use on the left side but I will click on it a lot , mine the iPad moves a lot

[@Mario_Barbosa31]

Great video, I’m curious about the noting app you’re using for the script. What’s that App.

[@jaircr4ft237]

15:00 @ChrisLawley what’s your opinion on the logi combo touch?

[@ramirobelsito4489]

Hey @christopher lawley or @anyone, has anyone tried esr ascend keyboard? How does it compare to the logitech combo touch?

[@TheRealmfc90125]

@chrislawley the Revodock isn’t working with my iPad Pro M1 and a 4K television. Any suggestions to get it working?

[@Zereniti77]

Yo Chris! I heard you love the iPad, so I put iPad in your iPad! Great idea, BTW!

[@sreenjoydas5425]

Did u use geniocase keyboard?

[@Jorda5s]

I’m glad you mentioned the capture card using a iPad as a monitor it’s a game changer using my iPad as a monitor for my Mac mini for a portable pc set up. The charjen usb c hub is the best for the money since it’s got uhs 2 sd card speeds. I recommend the cover buddy Magic Keyboard case with the pencil holder so you don’t lose your Apple Pencil and protects the sides of the iPad better than the Magic Keyboard alone. I prefer silicone pencil covers over a paper like screen protector cause it gives resistance when drawing but doesn’t compromise screen quality. Also wondering why you don’t like editing externally? I’m assuming you lost some files in the process..?

[@matt_kelly]

I have seen people use an iPad mini as a Mac mini monitor, but didn't think of using a capture card for that purpose.

[@Elias-bm4ho]

The Logitech combo touch is a keyboard is a good alternative to the Magic Keyboard

[@denncardoso]

Hello Chris, I really love your content, it's very impressive your setup and work with the Ipad and productivity. However, I am kinda curious to understand: why do you use Ipad over the MacBook? I don't think it is Apple Pencil because you already said that you don't write on iPad screen (which is also strange you recommend Apple Pencil and paperlike on the video). If you justified by the "versatile", I think a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro 14 inch can be also versatile and easy to put in a bag from work outside of home. Also, IpadOS is very limited. Really, I am a data Engineer and as a developer, I don't understand to use iPad as a "computer". I see iPad more like a "creative" machine (or like me, I use for studies, books and notes). However, don't get that as a criticism, it is just a curiosity as I said in the beginning! Thank you again! :)

[@matt_kelly]

Thanks for pushing the iPad content forward. I can't use one for my work (game development), but would much rather use my iPad for use while on trips. I recently bought an iPad mini and it's been fun to use as a portrait screen for my 14" MacBook, the height is nearly perfect. I actually got the idea from you, using your 12.9" as a "second" monitor in your setup, it's aesthetically pleasing. On a side note I have a feeling I will regret my iPad mini purchase so close to the March Apple event!

[@joyce3790]

The Magic Keyboard is my favorite accessory. I’ve tried other keyboards, but nothing comes close. Pricey, but worth it.

[@Amoux_Fang]

As someone who has the 12.9 and mini...how did I not think of the dual set up for maximum obnoxiousness???

[@markusg1962]

Wo kann ich die Magnethalterung bekommen, damit ich den zweiten Bildschirm anschließen kann? Ich finde kein Link bei dir kannst du mir diesen senden?!

[@lisovyy]

this is kind of ridiculous 😅 in some way, but I have to admit - you're absolutely passionate about the whole tablet setup, and it indeed looks fun! cool!

[@JohnnysChingaderas]

Can’t deny it but yes the Magic Keyboard is a killer and keyboard that should only be used for the iPad Pro 👍🏼

[@silver_vanguard6025]

3:45 I did this with my IPhone some time ago, my colleagues called me a genius 😊

[@fajarsiddiq]

YOU HAVE BLINK 182 PLAYING, THAT'S PUNK ROCK!

[@gene978]

The cost of the “Apple Magic Keyboard” is more than the cost of a new IPAD. And does not come with Short Cut Row of keys!

[@DaveEdwardDiaz]

Man, I laughed when you said you added another iPad to your iPad. 😂

[@Aurelisk]

I just ordered the otter box case. I got Bluetooth headphones. What would make the iPad better would be swipe typing.

[@ChrisLawley]

It has it on the small software keyboard. Pinch close on the software keyboard.

[@markguinee]

Can’t beat the Logitech combo touch for value. And the fact that you can detach the iPad from the keyboard. Which you can’t with the apple keyboard.

[@JerrySchulze]

Hey Chris, you know you need to demo how you made the UGREEN intro graphic on iPad!!! 😊

[@Jorda5s]

😂 ai?

[@ChrisLawley]

HAHA, that is all Final Cut Pro for the iPad. I took the Marque template and tweaked it.

[@meysamphors8317]

Good brother.

[@GIFOYT]

If I had the magic keyboard I would definetely think about getting the backpack accessory. My ipad air battery health is getting worse pretty rapidly and I would use it to carry around an external battery. But I got the logitech keyboard😂

[@tyron2854]

My Apple Vision Pro has been my new favorite iPad Pro accessory.

[@ChrisLawley]

Same, but video on that soon…

[@MatesWWA]

Would you share name of app which are you use for notes? It looks better than native app. Thanks!

[@ChrisLawley]

Obsidian

[@thomasgilheany]

Love the Rolling Square products! I even added some magnets to my monitor stand that allows me to click my iPad Pro to it. Great list! Some possible additions: * Rolling Square MagSafe puck for Edge Pro - Lets you charge your iPhone while mounted to an Edge Pro. * HyperDrive 6-in-1 USB-C Media Hub (Mounts flush to the iPad, and also provides 3 media control buttons) * Travel accessories organizer bags (I have several grouped by activity type, so I can quickly throw sets of accessories into a backpack (as well as get to them easily). Also makes airport security easier if they want to unzip a bag. Especially useful for keeping batteries+chargers+cables+adapters together. * Apple Pencil Holder (various). to keep the pencil from coming off the magnets and falling to the bottom of my bag. Especially like the Spigen DA20.

[@nightfall22]

OMFG you can connect your iPad Pro to the switch? Why haven’t I thought or seen this 😂 my god 🤦🏽‍♂️ I carry my 11 inch pro and Magic Keyboard in the same bag as my iPad lol… I always carry the doc and hdmi JIC along with 2 external batteries…. See, this is why I sub to this channel haha I use that very same anker battery along with INIU 20k battery that’s 65w… both batteries are plenty for all my tech.

[@anantchand5390]

you should try Carbonado

[@interstellarsnow]

My only issue with the Magic keyboard (and Apple’s other offical iPad ‘cases’) is that they don’t protect the device at all, which is surprising to me since the Logitech Combo Touch does, for a lower price. Sure I’d love the stand of the magic keyboard, but I’d much prefer good protection of my $1249 AUD device. Edit: i had realised i worded the last sentence weirdly and have corrected it.

[@nickhill5738]

1:38 nobody able to replicate hold my typecase 😂

[@ELGuapoGregg]

I love the Xbox controller for the iPad. Makes mobile gaming so much easier. I just wish more game devs would implement the compatibility feature.

[@emp116]

So basically you’ve made your life more complicated!

[@Jorda5s]

Tbh the iPad runs so smooth it’s a small sacrifice for versatility. There’s limitations for certain use cases but for photography it makes my job more fun I’d take that over sitting on a laptop like I’ve been for 25 years. Different ways to do things is nice. All the iPad needs is more ports.

[@trentgilliam5192]

Definitely not for me, iPads are our daily drivers for personal and business use. I wouldn’t even consider going back to MacBook only unless Apple adds a rear facing camera and onboard cellular capability.

[@ronin_11b94]

And he loves it.

[@gigixgarza]

I have an IPad Pro 12.9 inch as well as an M3 MacBook and I wish I could use my iPad for everything including work due to the fact that it’s cellular and I don’t have to worry about WiFi and it runs just as smooth as the M3 with an M2 chip but unfortunately certain programs I use, the iPad doesn’t support through mobile browsers. I feel my IPad Pro could easily run Mac OS but that would make MacBooks completely obsolete.

[@ChrisLawley]

Yes, but not between two iPads, which is what I said I wanted.

[@jonathangarcia4959]

logitech keyboard far better with some trade offs but overall a better keyboard. Logitech comes with a casing and it is angle adjustable. The keyboard feels relatively the same but a little bit lower quality. Apple keyboard just looks nice but it really isnt overall.

[@mrkvah]

No it is not, i am using it for a year and the thin layers close to charger and speakerphones are falling apart
