Is The IPAD Pro M4 Actually Worth It? | 3 Month Content Creator Review

[@JonasPerssonPhoto]

Great video! 😊 I am a freelance photographer with clients all around the globe. I used to leave my MacBook Pro’s at home and only bring the iPad Pro M2 when working abroad. Love editing on iPad, love editing with the pen. It’s just harmonic. BUT, ended up selling the iPad cause of the slow import/export of a batch of photos. Every second counts. So, my question is. Is it still slow to import a batch of photos to Lightroom and is it still slow to export? If they upgraded this I will easily go for an M4

Hey! Glad to hear we're like minded haha. I do still have experience from time to time on slow imports directly from my camera! It takes forever for photos to show up in the lightroom catalog as I'm looking to import them. I do however think this is related to the cables I'm using, BUT for whatever reason I haven't been able to decipher it fully. I think volume of photos I have on my cards plays a part too. Export however I have no issues!

Would love a Final Cut iPad video

Why do you prefer the 11 inch model over the 13 inch?

[@brockwunder]

Portability was the number one reason I've been curious about it! Having an 11 inch model just lets it be a lot smaller for when I'm on the go, travelling or just wanting something small to sit on the couch with :) I think too the 13 inch is really large, I've had friends who had previous models with it, and if you're a student doing note taking I couldn't see someone putting a 13 inch on a lecture table and taking notes and then having that be a more enjoyable experience than an 11 inch. So as a content creator, I think it comes down to editing! If you need a proper work station for serious client work though, you'll definitely still need a laptop.

@@brockwunder Thanks mate. I´m having a hard time deciding which one to choose for music production. I guess the “couch” factor might be decisive.

The only thing I would say is that amount of money you spent on your iPad is out of the reach of many, add the keyboard and pencil and you’ve spent a serious amount of dosh and you still can’t wholy recommend it, which to me personally speak volumes if you see what I mean? I would be interested to know how felt using the base m4 model…..

[@brockwunder]

@@ColdCoffeePhotography yeah I mean tbh if I wasn’t combining this with a lot of my KZbin content creation I wouldn've had a much harder time convincing myself to buy one. But I think the benefit right now is that I am able to provide honest opinions about something like this that can help other people out! I’ve always been curious about the IPad and have always wanted one so I figured this would be a great place to start to really see if I could get the ultimate benefit about it and share with other people my authentic interaction with it. I do actually really enjoy using it, but in a lot of ways it's a bit more of a nice to have. The most shocking benefit for me has been the note taking aspect of it if I'm being honest. I love using journals and now using Goodnotes instead, I'm able to keep everything really central and in one place so I really like it from that perspective. But yeah, I absolutely see what you mean and I think given the price point you’re right! Good news is now you don’t have to buy one and can focus on getting a laptop haha in all honesty I think the tablet has considerable redundancies at all price points to a laptop and so it really comes down to the unique attributes of the tablet + price point that would be the ultimate deciding factor. In truth I think the portability of it + the pencil is the biggest competitive advantage it has!

@@brockwunderthanks for understanding my comments, it wasn’t a slight on you or what you have bought keep up the great content

[@brockwunder]

@@ColdCoffeePhotography Appreciate that, and all good too! Just wanted to share a bit more of where I was coming from with this video :)

Hypothetically anything you can do with a pro you can with the air which becomes much easier to recommend based on price.

First I would say that I did buy the M4 iPad Pro as it was time for an upgrade for my iPad. I think people that are blessed and do spend this amount of money do not want to admit exactly what you’re talking about in this comment. I agree with you fully and I would only recommend an iPad for someone like myself that travels a lot and really is not a complex user. I also have a iMac at home and a virtual display from work that I can use on my iPad with jump for home and Citrix for work. So I can do what I need to do when I can’t on the iPad. I value the portability and simplicity of the workflow the most. If your like me it’s worth it. I’m over 50 and can’t do the things I need to on my phone alone comfortably. So iPad is a want to have for me not a need to have. If I could only afford one computer I would have a MacBook Air as I am really not a PRO user.
