M4 iPad Pro Review: My Computer

[@snazzy]

Nothing more to say than you deserved this review unit and your iPad review is the most exceptional I’ve seen so far. Truly excellent work.

[@ChrisLawley]

Thank you so much, that means a lot coming from you!! 😄

[@SALMANNATHANIMAX]

i must applaud Snazzy labs for this reply.

[@ruxcooking]

This man actually uses the ipad instead of just gushing about features.

[@_jacobdev]

I'm here from Snazzy's tweet, thanks for the link!

[@ParkourBrian]

Gizmodo straight up said “it’s pretty but it’s still not a MacBook” 😭 Quinn your review was also exceptional in technical regard

[@Byte_J]

Finally, an iPad Pro review from someone who, wait for it, *actually uses one regularly*.

[@chewbacca90210]

Definitely this is a review of how to actually use it. I couldn't finish iJustine's video review as it sounds like an ad and not showing what work can actually be done.

[@Eric-qi9us]

So true, this guy is the iPad master. He uses it all the time so he knows every single detail on using the iPad. Most deserved review.

[@bjclenster]

@@chewbacca90210 Yeah but iJustine is soooo much nicer to look at! :) I don't watch her to get any product info out of the experience lol

[@AJ-wg7fj]

Seriously! iPad is my favorite Apple device, it’s what I use the most, and I’ve definitely gotten the feeling from many reviewers that they’re just not iPad people. I appreciate this review a lot!

[@jrgibson]

@@chewbacca90210 typical of her videos.

[@iclubsealz]

It great to see a review from someone that ACTUALLY uses an iPad. Every other tech reviewer always cries about it not having MacOS. That being said, the battery life not being improved is kind of a bummer. What happened to the Ford hat?

[@na7han7]

I actually think they did a great job with the oled panel with extra brightness and more slimmer design the battery still gives the same backup

[@soculese]

His videos always go deep. This guy is one of KZbin’s finest.

[@waylaid]

Maybe they needed to keep battery weight down so that they could retain the cantilever on the keyboard stand as well as including a function row. Will be really annoying if the next version doesn’t take advantage of chip improvements to increase the battery life.

[@ChrisLawley]

Still have the Ford hat, but I got a hair cut.

[@DeeKay1911]

Would have actually prefered to the iPad Pro maybe be just a tad thicker and get extra battery life and maybe save the slim thin for the iPad Air - actually named air

[@jacobadlong]

Love that you addressed the fact that the Nano-texture glass does not provide a paper-like feel for the Apple Pencil. Been looking for this answer since the announcement.

[@levifig]

It felt a bit weird considering Paperlike was the sponsor, to be honest… 🫣

[@tomsop]

Why didn't Apple make paperlike unnecessary by engineering a better pencil rather than throw more haptics at us. People are switching to remarkable for a more natural writing experience.

[@SimonLYW]

@@tomsop Presumably became some people like the current experience and for those who don't they can just add something like paperlike? Harder to go the other way around. I think a lot of the people who use a remarkable are using it largely to get away from a device with apps and an internet connection.

[@ArthropodSpidey]

​@@tomsop thanks for letting us know you either work or simp for remarkable. An iPad is a complete computer. A Remarkable is a glorified legal pad.

[@MrTsolar]

Yes. Was glad to hear that clarification even though I don’t use Paperlike. Been thinking about trying it since I preferred the feel of my Surface Pen on my Surface Laptop Studio.

[@mioszjakubowski6446]

You are the iPad guy. I use mine way more than i used to after watching your videos. Thanks :)

[@SilentSzZ]

Looking forward to watching this one! Your iPad videos are very inspirational to me and I appreciate the effort. Enjoy your new iPad dude!

[@ChrisLawley]

Awesome, I hope you enjoy the video!

[@maximilianovilla_]

Your videos have helped me a lot in transitioning to an all-iPad setup, and I can’t wait for my iPad Pro M4 to arrive tomorrow!! 1TB this time, going (almost) all in. Thanks for your amazing content :)

[@lifeofmisschar]

did you get the nano texture?

[@maximilianovilla_]

@@lifeofmisschar no! I didn't enjoy the washed out color and don't work outdoors or with lots of light sources. Also, I was going to use a screen protector on it so no point really

[@bruhzooka]

You do great work! Appreciate you brother!

[@ChrisLawley]

Thank you!!

[@patrickgamboa7270]

I will only watch your videos as the only KZbinr soley focus working on iPad Pro, great job mate! I am getting mine next week so I am up to date with everyone with an iPad Pro M4! Love this video and looking forward to more productivity, performance, Apple Pencil Pro and more iPad Pro M4 videos!

[@MichaelHickman3D]

The most in depth review by far, so much insight going over most if not all of the features of this new iPad. Thank you so much!

[@Syntenyy]

Personally I would have preferred a thicker iPad with a larger battery

[@lifeofmisschar]

I love the in-depth review, in such a short period. This is really everything

[@eno8314]

You sir are the iPad master and you just earned a subscriber. And seriously, you should have at least 1M subs with this kind of quality you’re producing. Great job on your vids!

[@Valkuriegaming]

So, I've been looking forward to the new iPad's, I have been watching a lot of reviews on it to make sure I make the right choice for what I need. I appreciate your review on these devices, great video!

[@josephmatthews1887]

I have been waiting for your review and you didn’t disappoint. I use the M1 11” iPad Pro for 99% of my computing needs, the only task I need to use our M1 MacBook Pro is stacking my astrophotography subs. If I could do that on my iPad Pro, I would no longer need to use our MacBook. That being said I am going to purchase the M4 iPad Pro, I haven’t decided on which size or if I will include cellular.

[@Rfhuir343]

This is pretty much the same for me. However, I’ve now offloaded my astrophotography stacking (PixInsight) to a beefed up Mini PC and just RDP to it from my iPad. I also use WireGuard VPN for when I am on the move and want to access mini PC.

[@CeresIsAwesome]

Exactly the same problem here. I use my iPad for astrophotography, except it can't run any of the software for Photoshop from RC Astro. That, and the fact that iPad OS doesn't have a calculator when they could just port the iOS calculator is insane to me. The M4 chip would run blisteringly fast with RC Astro's astrophotography add-ons. It's a shame really -- I wish iPad OS would merge with Mac OS the same way Microsoft made Windows 11 designed for desktops or touch screens both.

[@theeyeofthehawk]

Bro, tremendous content. Your focus and detailed rundown of the iPad cuts through all of the PR and marketing videos online. Excellent job! My 13” 1TB arrives tomorrow and I cannot wait. Fully moving off of MacBook over to iPad.

[@dannydiazphoto]

Waited for this video, if it’s anyone who truly uses this to the max, it’s you. Thanks for the video 🙌🏾

[@ChrisLawley]

My pleasure!

[@zdoubleyou2073]

This is the iPad I’ve been waiting for. For a non coder this is perfect as a computer replacement. It’s portable. It’s light. It’s fun. It’s fast. It has tons of accessories and can morph into so many different form factors. As an owner of a MacBook Pro m3 and a previous owner of an 11” iPad Pro m1. This is the update I’ve been waiting for. I went with a 1tb regular glass 11” with Magic Keyboard and new pencil and Zagg screen protector and new magnetic folio. I plan to replace my laptop with this device and sell the laptop all together. So much of what you said helped me reaffirm this is what I’ve been waiting for. Thank you Chris

[@jack_2612]

why aren’t you waiting for wwdc next month to at least be sure iPad OS will get the updates it needs in order to even begin to replace a laptop? I’m saying this considering how much an iPad Pro costs. The price tag makes it a huge gamble right now, since it is not even close to the convenience of a MacBook Air in terms of portability vs capability and ease of use. A MacBook Air is far more complete, can perform heavier tasks when needed and has an overall better OS (well… iPad OS is the worst in the Apple lineup so it was kind of an easy comparison). I own both the devices you mentioned (MacBook Pro M3 Pro and iPad Pro M1, 11” sold for a swap with 12.9” M1) and I know for a fact the iPad can’t replace the MacBook even for a non-developer or non-pro user. That makes me curious, so I’m going to ask, if you don’t mind. Do you have a desktop? That would absolutely explain everything and I’d probably be on board with the portable experience of an iPad over that of a MacBook, but only if there was a proper desktop waiting at home, if you know what I mean. Just curious, that’s it

[@zdoubleyou2073]

​@@jack_2612 i have a work computer provided by work for work stuff, always have and always will in my line of work. Not concerned with the price. I dislike to say that as it comes off a certain type of way but fortunately for me im fortunate enough that this can be a toy if i want it to be. (i bought my 11" pro outright plus all accessories, no financing needed) I have also edited drone video professionally on an ipad pro in the past using lumafusion so i know for any hobby i get into that im interested in, the ipad pro is enough. my personal computing needs are shopping, reading, banking, budgeting, investing, lite video editing, streaming content, listening to music, and communication. my phone technically does all that. If the iphone had PROPER external display support, proper screen orientation for external display and springboard, and keyboard/mouse support, id just TB4 into a monitor or tv and use that as my ONLY personal device. there is nothing wrong with waiting, or buying now if it suits your needs. WWDC will be here next month and new software in september. I want to watch youtube on a portable OLED screen while eating breakfast before work now though :) Again, its really all about your needs and what you do. The iPad is an extremely capable device, it requires thinking about the programs as touch first, and sometimes a workaround through a shortcut or multiple apps to do what one can. There are plenty of great apps and cross compatible apps, ( drafts, Ferrite, notes, photos, Things, web versions of google docs, sheets, slides through safari, Lumafusion, FCP, Affinity Photo/Designer, Procreate, PsPortal, Xbox Game Pass) These are some apps I use and free me from needing a desktop, or laptop in my personal life. Add in Zoom and this would even be enough for me to do my work professionally. Whatever works for you! Christopher has great content on his channel that goes over using the iPad as a main device and if you're ready willing and able, try going iPad only for a day or two and see how you like it.

[@unbornG4]

@@jack_2612 What are you doing on your mac that you can't on your iPad pro? Especially as a non coder and even as a coder there are work arounds.

[@jack_2612]

@@unbornG4 why would I want a workaround just to use a device that is double the price of a base MacBook Air? Anyway, the iPad is just Netflix and notes in uni. Ok the MacBook I do everything else, from notes to assignments to research to watching twitch and yt, browsing and even some gaming. I bought the M3 Pro because I had an Air and I did not see a way I could last 5-6 years with it, but I wanted a Mac that could last me that long. Plus, I can’t stand 60hz anymore and the Apple pricing for upgrades is… well you know. So by the time I spec up a 15” Air to have 512 and 16 gigs of ssd and ram respectively, while getting the base core upgrade to 10 if I’m not mistaken, well I’m already well over 2k by miles. I live in Italy, which means the markup I get… I get it on every single upgrade, not just on the device itself. An iPad Pro 13” for example is 1600 euros. Now, I won’t go into detail about how iPadOS is nothing like having a full desktop OS, but just for giving an example I recently took an English certification exam and if I didn’t have a MacBook I could not have taken it remotely from home. The iPad was specifically listed, ironically, as an example of non-compatible device for the exam. It’s a niche case, but throughout uni I’ve had plenty of problems when I was trying to go iPad-only and it felt like I was trying too hard to do something that didn’t make sense trying to. Like… getting a MacBook is way cheaper and is way better in any way, so yh I have an iPad for the Apple Pencil and for that it’s great, but for even the most basic computing or multitasking it’s trash. In conclusion, before you jump at me about the “not needing a MacBook Pro”, you’re right. I don’t specifically need it. I’ll be studying in a Master program starting in September and I will be learning coding, data management and so on and I will work in IT in the future, so I’d rather have a device I can afford now (quitting my job in September so I won’t be able to afford it down the line, not immediately at least) and keep it for 5-6 years instead of settling for an Air. On top of that, as I said, a 15” specced up would have been as expensive as MacBook Pro. So yh, that’s my reasoning about the whole iPad thing. At least for now, maybe wwdc will change everything lol

[@zdoubleyou2073]

@@jack_2612iPad may not work for you. But it works for many others including the creator of this channel who is an iPad primary and only device user. Also, I and many others can afford the iPad as a toy even in 1tb configs with 2000 plus price tags and all accessories paid upfront. Apple is seen as a luxary brand. Not everyone who has a car has a Mercedes, Lexus, bmw etc. I can use iPad as my Main primary and only device both professionally and personally. Or it can be a toy. Same as a MacBook. It’s all about what you do. Everyone has the choice to buy whatever devices they want for wherever their use cases are. Some people can afford whatever they want. Others are on a budget. Apple has something for everyone. Use what’s right for you and be happy you have something that works for the tasks you need it for. Enjoy your devices. 5-6 years is always going to be tough to keep any device. There will be something newer and better every year. Just be happy with your choice and enjoy the device. Upgrade as needed or desired depending on finances and value and have fun.

[@khc8800]

Hello from someone who absolutely relies on the ultra wide rear camera for professional work! (20:08) I do architectural surveys where space is always tight but photos always need surrounding visual context. The iPad has been my sketching and data-collection tool. When the iPad Pro came out, it also became my main camera, replacing a cumbersome DSLR with 24mm lens, which previously replaced a GoPro, and the results have been breathtakingly superior! The 0.5x (ultra wide) is far easier, quicker, more convenient in one device. And seamless zoom back to 1.0x and beyond (telephoto) produces crisp clear photos & videos like a true pro. Amazing low light performance, too. It’s one heck of a critical feature that I cannot upgrade to the M4 iPad Pro for the lack of it! Without ultra wide, I cannot do my work!

[@yippiecalle421]

Your video has given me hope for the iPad Pro. All other videos felt like “this is just another iPad Pro”

[@blacksheep7576]

It’s hilarious how most people just agree that the ultra wide was a bad idea. Don’t miss it a bit 😂 I do use it a lot on my iPhone, but only because it’s easy to maneuver and fit in tight spaces.

[@dgutie8]

I finally got my M4 iPad Pro…I throughly enjoy it, but one thing that sticks out is the bezels…they seem so big! I wish they would shrink those bezels! The new Magic Keyboard is awesome. Coming from a 2018 iPad Pro, the new M4 iPad and keyboard much lighter.

New subscriber. I am so happy to have found someone who uses an iPad as much, and in the ways, I do. My iPad Pro 11 M4 with 1T comes tomorrow and I can't wait. The magic keyboard and new pencil will be here by week's end. Great presentation for this device. I use the 11" because the scale just fits me better. So I'm thrilled I won't be missing performance by not having bought the 13". I skipped the Nano screen because it was too high maintenance and I don't really need it. Did get everything in Space Black. It's gorgeous. I know I'll rewatch this video more than once. Thank you for such a thorough and thoughtful review.

[@nikhafizal1246]

with the new ludicrous M4 upgrade, does it support output of 120hz to external monitors though? 4k 120hz to be exact. A bit dizzying and jarring for me to let my eyes keep changing from the 120hz ipad to a huge external 60hz monitor.

[@SHAKA-NEU-LU]

I liked the review. I don’t understand the moving with the trackpad then tapping the screen to click. Why not just finger tap the trackpad?

As always your reviews answer all my questions. I have been using an iPad Pro as my Sole device since the pro model came out. I currently have the M2 IPad Pro but I don’t see a need to upgrade just yet. I’m waiting to see what the IPadOS beta 18 going be about before I do.

Great review! I’m on the fence between the IPad pro or waiting for the June announcement for presumably new iMac, Studio, etc. and just getting an air for pencil pro on photoshop sidecar from desktop or macbook and procreate. Only thing stopping me from the IPad Pro now is the 16gb ram. I’m looking to get into film production and I’m worried about getting something under 32gb ram for bigger projects like a short film or full feature length. But the Pro does everything else I’d need it to.

Thank you for your amazing work, Christopher! I want to buy an iPad Pro M4 to edit videos for social media and use it as my main computer. I actually use my desktop PC to do editing and organization, but the iPad Pro M4 looks soo good and I love the fact that you can draw and use the Apple Pencil. Also, having the iPad as my main computer will help me to focus on only one thing at time because with my PC I have A LOT of things going on at the same time. My only doubt is if it's actually easy to edit on it because I do short form videos and I have to edit on a daily basis and download a lot of youtube videos to edit. Is it really comfortable to edit videos?

[@dplj4428]

If I had only a 9.7 iPad, I might consider the M4 Pro. 5:05 If you have AppleCare, how much is cost in USA to have an Apple-authorized replacement of 2024 standard display, and then nano texture? Might be more economical to purchase matte protector if nanotexture costs are higher than for Apple’s standard glass. 9:58 Glare is a problem inside from lights. Reduced glare in-person is dramatic. 11:08 See jerryrigeverything, he did scratch tests on nanotexture with a variety of things. Really surprising some usual suspects did less damage! I cringe: he does these tear ups. 19:44 Can you use your iPhone as the Facetime during a video meeting? 21:39 In the iPad mini, i just saw the camera has a scan document option. Is that not sufficient? 24:19 the charging magnets in the pro pencil are further apart on it and those on the iPad. 25:40 on m2 pro and apple pencil 2nd, in some apps you get the hover preview showing onscreen brush location and the brush shape, even when i twisted the pencil. So, whatz’s the difference between its hover preview and that of the Apple Pencil Pro? 30:59 use case for “lap” not so much if I was mostly pencil-centric. 31:55 magnets positioned in different spots on back of iPad is also why the m2 pro not going to stay up on the new M4 keyboard.

So far, this was the best review I’ve watched about the iPad Pro M4; it is very insightful and comprehensive, with details on every part of the hardware and associated user experience. I hope that Apple enable macOS on this device because it has a lot of power

[@vernearase3044]

You might notice the additional bandwidth when using the GPU and neural engine with Apple Intelligence - I expect neural engine activity to be higher after Apple Intelligence enters the scene and that in conjunction with other normal workloads will probably stress memory bandwidth more.

Thank you for the good review! I love my M1 iPad Pro and don't have any plans of upgrading any time soon, but it is very nice to hear what other people think of it. My only concern about getting the iPad to replace a laptop is that you can get such an advanced MacBook for the same price as the iPad Pro that it doesn't seem logical to use an iPad instead.

[@AchakBrooks]

You can click anywhere on the previous Magic Keyboard without issue. It literally isn't thing. I am more concerned why/if or how come the previous keyboard is not "listed" as compatible with the new m4 ipad Pro. The previous keyboard just needed the three prongs on the back to connect to charge, the magnet was just to secure it, right? Will the new m4 ipad pro recognize the old keyboard? if the rear metal connection prongs on both devices make contact with each other, will it work?

[@AchakBrooks]

The previous magic keyboard works with the new m4 13” ipad pro. the magnets are misaligned so it does not stick to the keyboard, but the keyboard, trackpad and charging work. I just tested now. updating ipados now.

No.. I think I’ve finally decided to get the M3 MacBook Pro. I’ve got to stop waiting for the next newest model. I’ve been without a computer since 2013 but definitely it’s time to make the plunge. I’m just scared to purchase. Your videos have helped a lot. Thx.

Love this review. Personally? I’m gunning for the 256GB 13” IPad Air as that more than enough power and storage. It’s enticing, but I don’t need that M4 as that’s way too much power for me and I know deep down I won’t use all the features Pro, it’s like I edit hard 4K videos or photos. I just think that the iPad Air is more realistic for me to utilise as for organising my day to day and life and doing productive things👍🏾. Great review by the way. I’m subscribing.

Are you going to be adding stickers to your new keyboard Sir!? 😊 21:28

I've heard the new magic keyboard rocks a little when you tap the iPad...true?

[@0thlaweacc]

how about programming and coding in the ipad?

Great video Christopher- enjoy seeing the views from a power user

I loved taking ultra wide pictures with the iPad Pro to capture a room and sketch up on the photo to iterate on room design. Yeah I can also take a photo with another device but having it right in there just more convenient.

What app is that @0:15 ?

Your review is the best. When will YT reviewers actually do research on how people use iPads? Most people are not rushing to make YT content with their iPads and comparing the device to MacBooks. So tiring.

The geekbench score is insane! Am I right in thinking the test doesn't discriminate between mobile and desktop? Fantastic review Chris!

29:50 that's very weird. I can click anywhere in my old Magic Keyboard with the old trackpad.

[@ChrisLawley]

The very top shouldn’t work on the old one.

Interesting thoughts on the screen. Some other videos have said its "better" but "not life changing"

Is that little microphone on the screen next to the front camera already underneath the glass itself? I can’t remember I immediately had a screen protector put on it, which ended up not having a cut out for the front camera or microphone. Just kind of wondering if the microphone is exposed or already under the screen itself. Can’t find any up close pictures that I can tell from and I don’t want to peel my screen protector off to find out.

Awesome review! Been watching your videos for a while. Thanks to you, I use the IPad exclusively for work. Just got my new Pro 13 today! As someone who is streaming and recording gameplay, what editor do you suggest for IPad and do you feel its worth editing on the Pro 13. Keep the videos coming! Thank you!

Hi, how do you use AI functions in Adobe Lightroom? Because there are no noise reduction or super resolution available on mine. Really not gonna use another app for another function etc etc.
