Beyond KZbin, my primary iPad usage includes developing engineering illustrations and diagrams as well as taking notes and marking up technical articles. I’ve dumped MS Office in favor of using Apple’s creativity suite: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. No issues so far.

I've watched this video twice over the last few months. I had already tried to make my devices narrow/single purposed. I have similar devices like you: Switch, iPad, iPhone, laptop, etc. Originally, my iPad was a first step in computing and possibly replacing my laptop to certain degree: whether it was work, school or play; however, my iPhone is all of that when I'm not with my iPad or laptop. My laptop was for when I needed a processing speeds or anything else that might enter my mind at the time. After watching you video the first time, I tried it your way. I had removed all the apps that were games and entertainment from my iPad. --Wow that made a huge difference: 1) I'm not (as much*) distracted when it's time to work or study. (Turning off notifications helps.) 2) I had minimize my screen time while maximizing my productivity time, a) and, in the process, better allocate my time to relax or play. I'm in the process of working out a system of usage with my iPhone, so that I can stay even more focused. While my PC is only used when I need to do data analysis and coding. I would like to see/know: - What do you use to film, edit and process your KZbin videos? - Thank you and I/we want more iPad content. :) - If you're still into Chemistry, will you shift your business model or add to it with science videos?

Great vid. I’m exactly the same. iPad first, MacBook second.

And also, I do a lot of work on google docs and unfortunately, Apple doesn’t support having multiple windows for google docs open the same way you can for pages, notes, safari, etc. So working on multiple docs at the same time can be annoying.

Yes, I agree with your tablet first workflow.

The Note 20 experience convinced me moving from iPad to Samsung Tablet. My reason, the Samsung tablet OS, and Note 20 as well, contain DeX (Desktop Experience), considerably better than the iPad OS and iPhone OS. For many years having used and loving Apple Notes, my experience with Samsung notes demonstrates it is for me better and more feature rich than Apple Notes.

my ipad helped me so much through medical school, i was tired of lugging my macbook and was upset i could bring my imac eveywhere lol, i got the ipad and was instantly in love with being able to write on powerpoints, take it with me from class to class to clinicals to labs and it not take up so much space. i got a preloved smart folio keyboard was good, but then got a preloved magic keyboard, never went back. having the touchpad and be able to detach my ipad whenever is pure bliss. i do have netflix, youtube, crunchyroll and bunch of enterianment apps on my ipad and was able to differenciate between play and studies on one device.

I rlly needed this video; I bought an iPad Air a while ago and while I sometimes use that for school, I still kind of rely on paper notes this year since I started with them. But next year I'll hopefully make the full switch to digital note taking!

[@christinehernandez5208]

I use mine for work notes. And it’s a game changer when using the search feature. No more flipping through pages and scanning them looking for a particular note or subject.

I recently just got a 2020 11-inch iPad Pro and I already use it more than my laptop. Although it does have its downsides like not having certain apps to transfer assignments into PDFs for my professors to grade and not having a syncing system with a program that I use to write on my laptop, I LOVE my iPad Pro. It’s thinner and easier to carry than my laptop, and takes up less space in my bag for college. It’s also pretty useful for having apps for me to write down lecture notes and having an easy interface to navigate if I need to get to something quickly. I also got the iPad Pro for my art because it’s one of the best out there to run Procreate as smoothly as possible, so that’s a plus. Besides school and art, I like the fact that I can sync up my laptop (a 2019 MacBook Air) and my iPad Pro through iCloud just in case I need to solely use my iPad Pro for the day and have everything (Ike backed up pictures and documents) at a quick notice. Easily a 9/10 for the downsides but 10/10 if the downsides were to be able to be fixed

Thank you for being a fellow stem major with a realistic real world review from a college students perspective!

[@exppa_com]

Hello Kirstin, glad to hear that iPad is your computer. I wish my iPad could replace my computer too. However, at the year 2021, no browser on my iPad could yet replace the chrome brower on my mac mini 2014. That's why my iPad has become my best gaming and entertainment machine.

[@funtikthewobblycat]

Creating these boundaries makes sense. I have no games on my ipad and Macbook.not even on my phone. For games i have the PS5 and the Switch

[@annanijkamp]

I had the same! When I got my Ipad I was (and still am) extremely productive, because I love doing my schoolwork on it! It feels clean and I don’t have a messy binder full of hand-outs, notes and recaps etc. Everything is sorted out and I don’t need to take 10 kg’s of books to school anymore, because I have the books on my Ipad (: For anyone wondering: I have the Ipad Air 4, Apple pencil and Logitech Folio Touch👌🏼

[@mahliqagupkari7731]

Same here 👍🏻

[@RADERFPV]

I think the large corps are seeing it this way too. We have the 14.6" Samsung tab S8 Ultra coming out in a couple months, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see an even larger than 12.9" iPad soon as well. Seems like the line between computer and tablet is getting thinner and thinner.

[@ivangrigoriev3940]

Thank you for pleasure of listening accurate and warm speech. Everything is clear for me as non- native english speaker.

[@ignskeletons]

At 4:29 she mentions how she likes to keep only the apps she uses professionally or for work everyday. With the new iPadOS 15 update, you can soon easily hide entire pages of apps and then show them again by editing the pages on your iPad. Could be a good way to temporarily hide apps for 'fun' like Netflix while trying to do work and then re-enable them when your work is over :)

[@now_chemical]

that’s what i was thinking about! so excited for that for us distractable people :]

[@jenethompsonart]

I’ve had an iPad Pro 11” for a little over a year now. I love it! With the exception of my phone, it is my only computing device. I’m an artist, student, and do everything I need from my iPad with no issues. I love the mobility of it too. Definitely worth the $!

[@bric3842]

I love this idea! My iPad is starting to serve a similar function in my life. I plan and work on it but don’t do much else with it

[@KDigitalStudio]

The iPads are so great! An all-in-one device.

[@lindeartdesigns6250]

I use my Ipad for every aspect of my life, I definitely can’t go without it. From my business to college and more, I definitely don’t go a day without a LOT of use from my Ipad, I love it!

[@dawgcanjumphigh]

I still have the basic iPad 6th Generation. I will use it for my clients to program training routines for them. I also use it as a second screen to my Mac for video editing sometimes.

[@pressed2kill]

I COMPLETELY agree. I have the iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and the magic keyboard. I also do not have any games on my iPad. I use it for work/business only and it was the best decision that I could make.

[@johnkennethvillasin5978]

This video is perfect. I'm a Chemistry major too and drawing mechanisms and chemical rxns is just arrghhh haha

[@ianwoollard2063]

I’ve never owned an iPad but am seriously considering one for work. The paperwork transfer and trail from my employer is epic. I need a better way to manipulate the mess that I’m thrown daily.

[@accentontheoff]

This makes so much sense and I am surprised it’s not a more popular topic. I have also been unwittingly drifting in the same direction except for two issues (there might be more) 1. Logic Pro (this might get fixed they say). 2. I tend to prefer the screens of the regular non-Pro iPads for stuff like reading and web browsing, they’re just so handy. But that too could be just a matter of habit. Nice video thanks.

[@jeremiahfire1798]

Similar here: only Logic Pro preventing the switch.

[@alchemistTi]

I would have loved a digital tablet when I was getting my chemistry degree. I still find it slower to write on a screen vs typing or writing on paper. But it’s just so much more enjoyable.

[@annathomas5550]

get a paperlike screen protecter!! it feels just like paper when i write on it so i can write faster :)

[@GiovanMedrano]

You just sold me on using my iPad as my main computer. It's definitely a lot of more fun to use. Oh, and your voice is very soothing. :D I just subscribed to your channel. ; )

[@myratogonon]

Girl, you've given me a strong argument. I'm thinking of buying a larger iPad (currently have my good old mini 3) Thanks!!!

[@MarkMcLenaghan]

I have wondered about this idea. I use my MBA first but my iPad has a strong second place in my workflow. As a teacher teaching online. I use my computer to plan lessons and run the google meets then use my iPad and Apple Pencil as a whiteboard and interactive screen. I look forward to seeing how your flow.

[@alea6405]

I’ve purchased an iPad 7th gen on Dec 2019 with the Apple Pencil and all I can say is: BEST INVESTMENT. I do all my note takings and study secc in my iPad. When we started online classes because of the pandemic I purchased notebooks to not get distracted on my iPad and what did I end up using: my iPad. The only thing I regret is getting just 32gb. I thought that was enough but considering that I use it a LOT, specially for note taking I’m considering upgrading it to maybe an iPad Air 4 but not yet, my iPad still works really good and the storage gives me a lil more time. But seriously, the BEST.

[@knightrider4675]

Such positive vibes and very calm video :)

[@KDigitalStudio]

Thank you!! 😊

[@gigiwellplayd]

when i bought mine earlier this year, what i had in mind is i would use it mainly for my freelancing in comics while travelling. Its my first ipad, so i still put games i cant play on my PC 😅

[@Gamingandlipstck]

Ty hun for your review. Sometimes men are so technically complex, but you are telling and showing me how a person will use it daily vs all the tech jargon. Everyday use is more important and how it flows!! Ty

[@MzwandileHarmans]

Am so lazy to open up the laptop to do anything but I feel it is so easy to just get into my iPad. I don’t even even open a textbook on laptop and take notes on iPad, I just split view on iPad and study until I have something long to type. I don’t have an iPad keyboard at the moment but once I do, my laptop will be more on holiday

[@pbdivyesh]

Exactly! She changed month titles too, that is too much for me.

[@Jay-ij6ty]

I love my iPad, really, but due to having to work a lot with code I just need my laptop. Even if the iPad isn't designed for programming, I still use it a lot for note taking and design work.

[@mattydread6618]

Had an Ipad Air a long time ago and used it some. Then I got the Ipad Pro in 2018 and never looked back. I almost NEVER need a regular computer anymore !

[@michaelcrossley5661]

Just found out about the iPad pillow. Where the hell has that been all my life? Shoot, I'm on the MacBook, Mac mini, iPad Pro, iPad mini, 12 pro max, iPhone se, the watch, Apple TV and the speakers.But if I could only keep one, it might be the iPad Pro (as long as I get the iPad pillow first).

[@KDigitalStudio]

I'm quite the Apple collector as well 😂 I've definitely seen the iPad. Once the new 2021 iPad arrives, I'm deciding between that or the Sketchboard Pro! Love the unique products that are designed for the iPad.

[@nomi.]

iPads are so great for university. I only used an old iPad for all high school and college for notes/worksheets/etc. The app Notability is the best!

[@NorWeFLA]

I am so proud of your video and work ethic! Great job!

[@JimFlanneryDRONES]

I'm 77 years old, and my iPad Pro (2018) has become my "MAIN" computer too. It's so PORTABLE, and with the CELLULAR, it works almost everywhere!

[@Platomenti]

I am game developer, when I am on the phase of writing story, event planning, doing some spreadsheet, calender stuff and even drawing/painting character design I relying on my iPad most of the time. The time I use my MacBook Pro is when I need to open the game engine since you can't open Unity/RM/Unreal on iPad (yet) 😂

[@KDigitalStudio]

Yep, there are a few programs I have to use on my Macbook still. Mainly Final Cut Pro. If that ever comes to the iPad, I'll be all over it!

[@srikthegod2741]

@@KDigitalStudio Honestly, M1 can run it on a mac, so hopefully it comes to the iPads as well. Pretty much any mac app that uses a .dmg installer should be able to run on the iPad.

[@everlymiller5158]

I recently started a new job, I am attempting to utilize all the 365 apps offered. I have an older iPad that I rarely use but this video has been most helpful. I have always loved the physicality of writing but in the theory of work smarter not harder, I’m trying new things. Thank you!

[@NedjoKovacevic]

Thank you mighty YT algorithm for suggesting me this brilliant creator and her awesome video! Instant sub, and my only wish would be to make videos in higher resolution - at least 1080p. Again, brilliant and inspiring video and story.

[@KDigitalStudio]

Sorry about that! Shot my video in 1080/2K and destroyed the quality by accidentally exporting at 720p. Will be more careful & use my sigma lens next time :) thanks for the support!
