[@ByteReview]

Thank you so much!

[@sarahbrandt8065]

my M4 ipad pro is my main device! i’m an undergrad university student studying biochemistry who doesn’t need any programming/coding/developing features, so the ipad pro is perfect for my needs. i did get the larger 13” size so it would be more laptop-like and the magic keyboard for the same reason though. i think if i didn’t have the magic keyboard along with it i wouldn’t be able to carry out most of my daily tasks, though. i really love the near-perfect document scanning the ipad has now! such a big upgrade from my ipad air. loved this video!

[@DANI-hv2rs]

what you think about the battery, I also have the 13" m4 but I expected something more related to it, I feel like even for just writing notes the battery drains pretty quick

[@sarahbrandt8065]

@@DANI-hv2rs i get about 11-12 hours of screen on time just taking notes! it’s definitely parallel to the claims apple has made about the battery life, but it’s no mac in terms of battery life unfortunately. i’m happy with this though, usually end my day around 20-30% which is more than enough

Do you have a Mac as well? Just wondering how you back up your photos and stuff etc? iCloud isn’t a back up

The wobbling when used with the Magic Keyboard was the reason I returned it and went with just the Smart Folio on my 11”.

[@MilkKomsonChannel]

In Final Cut, can you copy only the parts you want to export -> Paste in new project -> export that new project? I never use Final Cut on my iPad but this is what I do on Mac (I know! It’s a low-tech method! 🤣)

[@raynjpg]

I enjoyed this review! Also loved your photos, and you, and whoever helped, nailed it when shooting this video. I haven't yet bought the iPad Pro, but I'm 99% sure I'm going to be buying one before this fall. I'm a photographer, soon to be videographer, and a college student. I do have an incredibly powerful laptop with a (decently) color accurate screen, but it has awful battery life and I have to always have it plugged in. The iPad wouldn't be able to 100% replace my laptop (I'm a computer science major, so I have to have programs not supported on iPad OS, or sometimes even Mac OS). Though it cannot replace my laptop, it will be an amazing tool for taking notes, doing general assignments, editing my photos (and doubling as an oversized camera monitor when shooting lol), hopefully editing some videos, finally learning to draw, and so much more. I just wish the options I want didn't total up to ~ $2,400.

[@medhavimiddha9882]

Is the wobble while typing on MK equally bad on 11" and 13"? Love the video btw.

[@GeiUnDrawingCafe22]

Great video, it could be nice if you make a video about notion and how you use it on your daily basis, I've been trying to use Notion but it looks too complex to me haha

[@justbeingadad2599]

13 inch M4 is my only device. Got rid of my MacBook though sometimes I feel like I need one though it’s more out of habit than anything else. I edit photos and videos. I do Real estate so I don’t really need production to look like a marvel movie. I’m also a faciities manager so I use it to draw apartment layouts, teaching, reports, inspections, ect. I will say this you can do everything I just mentioned on an IPAD air and if I had the choice to do it over, i would go with the 13 inch air or m2 pro. I got my younger son the air and there no difference in use case from one to the other. Yes the screen is better but not 500-700 dollars better.

[@canoopsy]

stunning video bro

[@ByteReview]

Thanks for dropping by dude, appreciate it! 🙏🏻

[@tonyb9864]

I want to upgrade to the M4 IPad Pro but I don't see anything really different or useful to make me do it. I see what the hoopla's about but I'm not a content creator, for example, so the newer stuff I wouldn't use. I'm still on the M1 Ipad Pro and have no issues. Good video though and I'm a happy subscriber to your channel 🙂

[@ByteReview]

Yep, I don't think anyone should upgrade from an M1 model, air or pro!

[@edmn]

Great video as always. I used to often shop at Beats after college when I was back in North Devon. 🤙 I’ve got a 13” 2018 iPad Pro. It’s still speedy for KZbin, web browsing and other menial tasks. It will get iPadOS 18 but won’t be getting much of the latest Apple Intelligence features. The new iPad Pro looks amazing, especially the OLED screen, but I can’t justify the price right now!

[@ByteReview]

Beats is sick, they're so kind in there! And yeah I get that, the 2018 model is still so usable, I know loads of people that still use it!

[@MrMrWattz]

[@paulwoodward8265]

I really wish they'd fix the annoyances in iPadOS, and add the missing features to the apps. My new iPad Pro has superior hardware to my macbook air in every way, but most things are just so much easier to do in macOS and with the macOS versions of apps. I'm thinking of using something like Jump to remote into my iMac to fill those gaps. Fantastic hardware, but so often let down by the software. I'm with you, if I'm taking only one device to do some work, it's the macbook every time, unfortunately.

If/when you plug into studio display/a dock, if that dock/hub has Ethernet, do you disable WiFi on the iPad or run both?

[@ByteReview]

I only ever use WiFi, but I guess you could get internet through the dock?

[@RichFletcher]

Love your videos. Can I suggest superimposing the price of the iPad, pencil, and keyboard onto the corner of the screen? That way, when you talk about something fundamental that’s a problem (wobbly screen, software limitations) we can judge for ourselves if it’s really a big deal or not. For me, I don’t think some of those flaws are acceptable - no matter how big an Apple fan I am - not for the money they’re asking.

[@guddaboi]

Oh I wish, I wish I could get a proper DAW, Photoshop and Illustrator for iPad OS. Then iPad M4 would have been my perfect device/laptop.

Hey mate. I watched your video yesterday and couldn’t get one bit out of my head which was the iPad wobble when typing.

There's still so much friction inside of ipadOS it's such a shame because the hardware is absolutely first class! It could easily replace a desktop save for a few software shortcomings

[@andyH_England]

Apple stated there it is not a replacement device, it is complementary. Which is logical as why would Apple want to compete with their own devices in a cut-throat computing market? It would be dumb business. So, you either work with that precept or accept that an iPad will never be a 100% replacement for a laptop.
