Musician here - Most of my colleagues, myself included, own a 12.9 iPad pro for reading music, instead of paper sheet music. We exclusively use iPads instead of other tablets because the software we use, called ForeScore, is apple exclusive, and the 12.9" because it has to be big enough to read off of a music stand. I would love more than anything to have a large non-pro iPad, it's completely insane that the majority of the music industry owns these incredibly powerful machines just to read PDFs on a big screen. Also, Marques, we went to high school together, go cougars.

[@ledzeprulz]

Another muso here. My current 12.9 iPad almost died on me the other day and left me contemplating a new iPad.

As a healthcare consultant that (before covid) traveled every week for work, I migrated to the iPad Pro and used it as a laptop replacement for years.

I could do everything I needed with an instant on, always connected tablet that was 1/4 the weight and size of my laptop. Plus it was far less intimidating to sit with a client or customer and take notes with a pen on my screen than to sit there and click clack away on a laptop keyboard. All that said.

true, but the hover feature will be amazing for artists, the later release date means that these iPads will get software support for a longer period and time and they will also last you longer due to the stronger chip. if you want to keep this iPad for 6+ years, its def worth it. if you plan to upgrade in 2-4 years the m1 iPad Pro might be a better purchase.

[@Call_Upon_YAH]

Jesus Christ is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. They that believeth and are baptized (with the Holy Spirit) shall be saved; but they that believeth not shall be damned. Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. 👍🏾 *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.

[@Call_Upon_YAH]

When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God. Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.

The update from the A-processor to the M1 was a *massive* upgrade on the iPad Pro, an upgrade worth doing. My M1 iPad Pro benchmarks higher and has noticeably better 3D graphics than my 11th Gen Intel i7 laptop (without a discrete gpu) that was bought around the same time (and cost more). Most people could legitimately replace their laptop with an iPad Pro, especially if they would narrow the gap between MacOS and iPadOS. I use my iPad more than my laptop for basic tasks. The only thing it is missing is the app support, which keeps it feeling more like a tablet and less like a computer, even though the performance and specs of the iPad are way more like a computer than a tablet. The M2 update feels like a typical Apple update. Most the stuff is the same, but new processor and a couple gimmicky features. Not really enough to justify an update for a reasonable person, but there are so many Apple fanatics out there who simply must have the newest thing, so they’ll sell a ton.

Hi can u tell me Which app and brush tool is he using 4:11 Is it apple notes app , it has watercolor brush?

[@Cristianomare]

I've got a 2018 Ipad Pro, the first with the refreshed design, and it's still a beast. No reason to change for now. I''ll upgrade when I feel like I need the window/desktop features. Not anytime soon

Honestly no need to upgrade from that iPad to this one

[@livingmytruth2289]

This video was very well done. Thank you, it was very informative. You have gained a new subscriber

[@alexandlianeYT]

Dudeee. You totally brighten my day. I love listening to you talk tech, even if I’m not even into the tech you’re talking about 😂 you are my KZbin guru. I’m 50 years old ! ❤ respect 💯

[@Keither754]

1:02 I actually really like that it says “iPad Pro” on this model and “iPad Air” on the Air and etc. It’s a very small change but I think it’s a nice cosmetic touch

[@markjohnson8901]

I’m actually about to start taking advantage of that “pro” power on the iPad. I have a section of my business where I take care of the logistics for other pop up shops and pop up vending businesses. Essentially what I’m working on is where I 3d scan all of the physical products like sunglasses, hats, back packs, soaps, oils, etc. that give me the perfect dimensions then I preplan everything in 3d, how much inventory, the different skus etc. Working with blender and fusion 360 currently but some of these files I want to use can be upwards of 750MB-1.5gb and that’s huge for loading up. Still have some work to do but I want all these 3d renders to be accessible mobile and the iPad is the best way. Still have a lot of work on this project but I can’t stop geeking out over the power that’s coming out that can run all these 3d assetts I’m developing so smoothly.

[@mikeyestrada1674]

Affinity designer for the iPad Pro replaced my use to design on my MacBook Pro 14 10core 1tb. Let’s you know you don’t need a Mac and we can just use the iPad for day to day uses. It’s really about what apps to use.

[@nbolt75]

I have the original iPad Pro and it got me through highschool and is still very convenient for note taking and some design stuff in college

Love you videos, keep it up!

[@timeflex]

4:00 Hang on a second. Is that what Samsung Galaxy S4 users were enjoying back in 2013? It was called Air View -- when you hovered your finger over the email or notification to see the preview. I'm missing it so much now. But, hey! Since Apple has just reinvented it again, there is a chance to get it back on Galaxy too!

[@Japop123]

With all these iPad Pro upgrades over the years, I’m so incredibly happy with the purchase with my 2018 11 inch pro at launch

[@darrylkeith7612]

Thanks for being you. Been watching since you started ❤

I think this is in line with the dynamic island approach. Slowly making things better without feeling the need to make it all at once in a bundle.

[@ltl9474]

I’m a student at Uni and I just bought it! Best purchase I’ve ever made, I really love it! I think it all comes down to how you’re gonna use it… I personnally replaced my 15’ MacBook Pro I was using. So far, so good!

[@tobiasf4782]

What is your workflow? Wouldn't a regular chromebook be able to replace your macbook as well?

[@Zuffertube]

Love the last couple of word plays at the end

[@JohnnyBravo42]

I’m “pro” user! I bought iPad Pro m1 12.9 only for Netflix, KZbin, Games and browsing the internet. I’m totally confident that most users did the same. ….typed from iPad Pro …😅

[@zeusx6479]

For the exactly same purposes, I bought ipad pro m2 11inch. I got 11 because it is $400 cheaper than 12.9 I'm still happy with it

[@beazdakid1988]

[@nds2k1409]

5:22 I was fooled thinking the video was gonna end with that music

[@CmRoddy]

I am a field technician for a communications company. I use the M2 iPad Pro (11”) on a daily basis while on the job. I use apps like Notability to mark up layout drawings and product drawings, as well as getting all daily notes and excel sheets upgraded. That Pencil is amazing. I don’t doubt that the M1 would serve me just as well, but this is the one my company decided to get and I am very thankful for it.

[@TheSavage102]

Love the alliteration at the end 👌🏻

[@0311nate]

I’m still loving the current forms of the phones and iPads, hope they don’t change them.

[@ricachu5640]

I don't even know if Apple will ever read my opinion, but I'll say it anyway... I hope they add the top-bottom version of the multi-app screen. I mean, sure in landscape mode the side by side multiscreen will work well, but they should also realize the the top-bottom option for portrait will also bring more possibilities as to how the iPad can be utilized. Especially for the 12.9 inch. I personally would want to experience the top-bottom multiscreen when I can only lay the iPad on a smaller desk.

[@zt9233]

It's really stupid they don't do this.

[@zt9233]

Samsung does

[@Darkslayerqueen]

I was trying to figure out if that's actually an option last night while using the iPad, but was disappointed they only have screen multitasking side by side

[@matthewtrebs9738]

Apple's multitasking on ios is very poor because they dont want the ipad to compete with the macbook, they want to force you to buy both. If this is something you care about, as always there are some nice options outside of the apple ecosystem. High end samsung tablet can actually replace your laptop, comes with a free pen, and I'd argue has a nicer screen

[@DecidiousGreens]

YES

[@angelant96]

For me it comes down to two important things: 1. What are you gonna use it for? 2. How much are you willing to pay? I’m very satisfied with my 4th gen iPad Air and I’ve had it since 2020. I do a lot with it and I’ve had zero problems. If I ever upgrade to a pro version it would solely be because of the screen size, since I draw a lot and use it as my main note-taking device. There’s no need to pay more for something you know you won’t really need.

[@Grasshoffg]

Still using the 2018 11” iPad Pro and cant imagine how any of the new iPads could do anything more other than just allow external monitor support For stage manager

congrats on being a very reasonable person. please buy insurance.

[@andrewcao8539]

So entertaining to watch two marques go at it! Super useful insight too, exactly what I considered when watching the new event.

[@DuppyShots]

I still have my original 2018 iPad Pro 11inch which I bought in 2019. Runs beautifully still, minus minor dip in battery life but won’t buy another iPad for some time

[@nathanael4664]

Thanks for informing

[@ZackGeragosian]

I use my iPad Pro for my job every day. I do inspections for roofing and use the iPad for my measurements and presenting options to clients, signing contracts, and taking payments/credit checks. Beyond that, I use the iPad Pro as my main computer for music production (where the iPad is definitely is capable of pro level sound), gaming, video editing home videos, etc. it is definitely pro. Having that extra power, better displays, and storage absolutely are worth it for me.

[@RayCBH]

May I know which size of iPad pro did you use?

[@JeromeDemers]

I am still using the 1st 12.9" ipad pro and that was not long ago dec 2015. This new pen feature is really good idea, preview the shape or location before touching is great idea!

[@alexwr]

The trouble is that if you're an artist, you know that having a pen preview is a really basic feature, so it's just frustrating that it's only on the M2 iPads. The Galaxy Notes have been doing this for ever, its a feature that really shouldn't be excluded because you can have this feature on any device that supports an active stylus.

[@JeromeDemers]

@@alexwr i think they had that feature working internally for long time but was not to Apple standard. Not ready for prime time. Something Hardware or software made it possible. Could of been at bottom of priority too. I notice the effect preview with the hover of the pen. That is an example of a great use of that feature which are details like this that apple likes.

I have to say Marques - this intro right here was one of the best, if not THE BEST intro I’ve seen so far from you - amazingly represents what you say and mean at the same time with it, love it! And well done to you and your team!

[@peterjones4621]

Well done! Entertaining and educational, love your videos, keep em coming! I just bought the ipad Pro 12.9, kind of wish I'd waited for the new one that's coming out soon but I was too impatient. Enjoyed the video, take care!

[@RavenRose91]

So I currently have a 2018 11” iPad Pro and one of the only reasons I want to upgrade is to get the 12.9” iPad with a mini led display. Though I know it’s not really, I personally feel like the 11” is too small for note taking so I want that extra real-estate for if/when I go back to college to finish my degree. I also want that better display because I use my iPad for a lot of media consumption (particularly at night time) and while I know there’s some blooming issues with the mini led that’s better than having a fully backlit screen. I was very excited about the m2 iPad Pro but I think I’d rather wait or just get a m1 12.9” iPad Pro.

[@mogame9690]

[@abboudabboud4894]

At around the 5:30 mark I almost clicked out of the video thinking it was about to end. (Mr beast talked about never ending a video before the end)Maybe double check the editing there and the retention rate.

[@webcow]

I have been an iPad Pro user since 2018. It started with a simple use case of being the entertainment device for home. Then I learned I can design on it, so all my UI designs were done on it. Then sidecar came and it also became the second screen to separate work tasks from workplace collaboration. Then I started taking all my meetings from it. And it also became the go to notepad. Then I got myself gitpod and now I could also code on it. If you are a software professional, the iPad Pro can replace a lot of other things for you if you really give it a fair shot.

[@Samuelhgflax]

What are you using for ui designs? I do everything in Figma right now and would love a more mobile alternative

[@webcow]

@@Samuelhgflax Depending on your preference and task at hand, you can choose between Figma, Sketch, Concepts, Miro.

I think you’re bang on with this analysis. I am an illustrator and designer and its been the most amazing thing as a daily driver and digital sketchbook. I do use it for clients and my work flow as well but i do wonder what most people use it for.

[@li_tsz_fung]

I thought many many people draw on an iPad for work, professionally. Marques said his design will laugh at the concept of drawing with an iPad instead of wacom. I think many moved to the iPad, the younger generation especially

[@mroscar7474]

I’m using it for comics and digital art. I honestly can’t sit down at my computer to work, I gotta be able to move. With the iPad I can draw on the couch, laying down, I can take it to a park or beach and draw there while getting some sun and fresh air, I can draw at work. I with the iPad had more desktop apps with the new chip. Blender and a full fledged animation app would be great.

Every time I am having a tech dilemma, Marques comes out with a video that just hits the nail on the head! I am in the market for an iPad for school, and I found an amazing deal on the 4th gen 12.9 in ipad pro from 2020, but here I am thinking "it's almost 3 years old, is it still gonna be any good??" But sounds like it's still perfectly capable!! Take my money!! Lolol

I love the MKBHD vs MKBHD, the duo I never thought I would need! Personally I use my M1 for administration and Some media consumption. So much power for something an a12 would do flawlessly.. its the appeal of having too much power and not needing it right now but hoping and secretly expecting for more pro usage
