[@bryans8656]

@@justahugenerd1278 I haven't had mine long either. For my use case it's perfect: I have all my peripherals hooked up to it when it's in "desktop" mode and it takes only a minute to disconnect stuff and hit the road with it.

Do you recommend the macbook you have Im confused about what to get

[@bryans8656]

@@selintiras3274 I think the M3 Pro MacBook Pro 14 is the sweet spot of the MBP lineup. The base model comes with 12GB of memory and 512GB of storage, and of course the beautiful screen and great speakers (and plenty of ports). They're on sale now for $300 less than I paid (sigh). I highly recommend it.

just wanted to ask if your Ipad Air 5 battery life drains so fast ? mine drains very fast 😢

[@rg975]

I think as each year passes, the 12.9/13 inch variant of the iPad makes less and less sense. Apple doesn’t want it to replace your laptop, they just want it to be a tablet and not much more. Because of that, I think the 11 inch just makes more sense for 99% of people. It’s much better at being a tablet compared to the 13 inch, plus its way cheaper

[@sharkfintech5893]

Fair & great point, and perhaps an "inconvenient truth" ? 😁😮😄 Outside of "content creators", the extra screen real estate is arguably wasted for/on many 13" Pro users, given Stage Manager's shortcomings, and the fugly huge black bars when viewing content. But that's the classic Apple cash grab, isn't it ? Gaslight their customers with the Upsell, as evidenced with the past couple generations of iPad Pros: The 11" models IMO very _intentionally_ had inferior displays. 😠

[@mackan072]

Given that the new ARM CPUs looks promising, I might just end up getting a Surface Pro tablet. If Apple won't give me what I want (iPad with desktop level OS, or a Macbook with a touch screen), I'm likely to vote with my wallet and go to a competitor. And all of a sudden, I'll also get a usable amount of RAM as the standard, and access to cheap, upgradable storage. Apple have been complacent since the release of the series chips. They've been acting as if they're untouchable. These new ARM CPUs shows that they're not. They'll need to adapt to the new competition, or they'll risk losing market shares.

[@sharkfintech5893]

@mackan072 Even _The Untouchables_ weren't fully untouchable. By the end of the movie, two of them had been whacked.

[@JustHyden]

i feel like the large size was purely made for drawing and taking notes

[@ritvijpant]

Even the 11 inch does not makes any sense. Ipad is a totally useless device it has no calling, no instagram, no capable cameras to take good photos,no fast charging, no file system like mac. So its the most useless and costly device on this earth.

My problem with the iPad pro is that it is so freaking expensive! I have a friend that is planning on buying one for note taking in college which feels insane considering the price plus accessories. If it can't do a big chunk of the work of a laptop then I struggle to see how it can possibly be worth so much more than a laptop

[@calgary2800]

What about Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series? I've never been let down by my numerous Tab S8 tablets

[@transitengineer]

Yes, for college just get a basic iPad 10th generation and, with,your savings also buy an Apple laptop (smile...smile).

[@Jj82op]

you should look into the Tab S9 FE, or if you need something a bit cheaper there is the Tab S6 Lite (2022/2024).

[@MaximusMeridius-fu5oo]

its not a laptop as a laptop can't compete with a pc

[@sarah_fkm]

Honestly I was gonna buy it but I changed my mind last min and decided to buy the new IPad Air instead, I’m not saying that it’s cheap but at least the price isn’t as insane as the so called thinnest apple device, plus M2 or M4 they’re all the same 💀 Apple will always be Apple and try convince u to buy their most expensive products

[@PWingert1966]

Things to change in iPad OS: Fix the file system, resolve the issue with stage manager, allow you to have the Mac OS desktop shared on to iPad just like you do with the iPhone on the Mac. Over all the changes are cosmetic. I can already use a third party calculator. There was nothing that made me want to get the pro as opposed other regular iPad Air.

Completely agree. Likewise, using a Surface has different but ultimately the same outcome. The best use case for real work is a tablet and a computer.

[@adriennew6902]

How do you mean? No argument, just curious how your experience is the similar to the ipad? As a surface user myself, I bought it specifically to be able to replace my tablet and laptop setup and use a single device.

[@NeilLavitt]

@@adriennew6902 , I found that I wanted a tablet to read, markup and write on. Often I would refer to my computer to cross reference and so using just one device didn’t work. For me, using the two device works best and makes me way more productive. The new ARM Surfaces look very good and I like that the keyboard can now be detached and still work.

[@adriennew6902]

iPads are not meant to replace your Laptop. And all the add ons to give you a “laptop feel” is just ways they get you to spend more money.

[@christianr.5868]

For a device that costs more than most laptops and is more powerful. It’s shame it can’t replace them for the simple reason that Apple doesn’t want it to. That’s why its the surface pro 11 for me

[@TamasKiss-yk4st]

@christianr.5868 it's not Apple don't want to replace the laptop with the iPad, they can't.. just check the confuson on Snapdragon X Elite testers, when they realize that the machine perform better from battery like from a charger. But it's kinda easy to solve the problem, the chip is thermal limited, and made a huge different if you heat the battery (while chargig the battery, it's also generate heat) the thermal limit kicks in sooner.. this is the same on the iPad, but there are even the display generated heat is a permanent heat source next to the chip.. so even with the same chip, it can't operate as a Macbook (because that 4-6W constant heat generation from the display is basically the different between the non throttling and between the throttlig chip.. because that heat generated far away from the chip in a Macbook, so irrelevant in the chip performance there, but it's relevant in tablets)

[@christianr.5868]

@@TamasKiss-yk4st this chip doesn’t get as hot or lose as much performance under full load though. Look at gaming benchmarks compared to the m2. That, and it blows away the m1 in the MacBook Air performance and efficiency wise. So I don’t know why it wouldn’t be able to run macOS efficiently

It is probably the best tablet from an artist's perspective. If I wasn't an artist, I probably wouldn't have an ipad. I use it to edit photos on the go, Illustrate and I start my 3d models on it. I'm just hoping for more applications come to the ipad, similar to blender. There is an app for retopology, but it really doesn't make sense to buy it when it will be transfered to a desktop anyway for bones, nodes, texture mapping, etc. Everyone seems to be loving the squeeze feature, but I am more excited about the rotation. I've been waiting for years for that to come to iPad!

[@xinzhaochi]

I completely agree with this video. I've been trying to figure out how to use my iPad M1 as a "laptop replacement" but as Ella said, power users will not enjoy the experience. Even official apps for productivity such as MS Office, Canva and the like, offer features that barely scratch the surface of what you can do on a full fledged laptop (Mac or Windows regardless). Refreshing to hear an on-point review for once. Thanks Ella!

Finally someone calls out the 4:3 aspect ratio. It’s very unfortunate for a device that is used for content watching by a large portion of its customer base.

[@Caoimhin777]

@@gardriel8208 Not for ONLY watching content, but I don’t know a single iPad user that doesn’t watch content at some point on it. Besides, I’m not suggesting a 16:9 aspect ratio. The 16:10 that’s used on virtually every laptop, including MacBooks, would be a common sense compromise.

[@IceBlueLugia]

4:3 is preferred by artists (who buy the Pro and Air) and students who take notes (who buy the standard and sometimes the Air). It makes sense. Samsung's tablets are 16:10 and even the $600 ones have OLED screens if that interests you

[@Caoimhin777]

@@IceBlueLugia I’m fully invested in the iOS ecosystem, so a Samsung tablet is impractical. The vast majority of iPads users aren’t artists or students, so it seems silly to offer all iPads in that form factor. It’d be a good idea for future iPad Pros & Airs to use different form factors. At the very least, it’ll help differentiate a lineup that is confusing & redundant for many buyers.

[@gardriel8208]

actually 4:3 is better for everthing but watching movies.

[@chuck7415]

I agree with all these points. iPad is not worth getting if you already own a MacBook, unless you have a niche use case like art.

One thing I would say about the editing is when your lettering appear behind you, it dont show the text once, to fix this i recomend you make a movement keyframe of Y position, to show the leeting entrance then return your position to standard place.

Keyboard is only for people that want to type up a lot of emails or work on Pages.

I have the iPad Mini 6 and like its performance and form factor. However, iPadOS doesn't come close to my Samsung Tab S9 in terms of customizations and usability.

If regular students want to stick with MacOS and IpadOS and not Windows laptops the iPad 10th gen is good enough the USB C apple pencil can get most things done. after spending 350 dollars you'll have plenty of cash for the Macbook Air, so yea go ahead buy the 10th gen iPad and the M3 MacBook air (or save more money and buy the m2 MB air if you really are a regular doing basic tasks).

[@markgriffin2285]

I think it depends on what you are using the IPad Pro for. I have a M1, 1TB and use it for Email, KZbin Video's and Reading books and magazines. I have only used 35 GB of space so far. So for me, no sense in upgrading because I will never use the IPad Pro for Video Editings or more advanced functions.

[@Cujobob]

I believe the 120hz mode for Safari is something turned off by default (likely for power consumption). These iPad Pros have a number of ideal use cases. For children, even, they’re fantastic. FaceID is seamless, you can control what they access easily, and they seemingly last forever while playing games really well.

[@priultimus]

I have literally all of the same frustrations as you LOL I felt very seen by this video. I got the 11 inch instead of the 13 inch, and finally sprung for an iPad because the smaller ipad pro got a good screen at long last. There was no way I was ever going to buy a big ipad. I agree w/ all the complaints, but I feel the biggest thing about this ipad that I know I wouldn’t get if i spent the same on the macbook is fun. There’s no way around it, this is the most fun product. It is not the most practical product at all. But me and my partner have fun drawing on it. It’s really fun to watch content on, the screen is drop dead gorgeous and it’s in a great size. It’s much easier to just pick up and use for a quick task compared to even my 13 inch macbook air. This screen is basically just a bigger version of my iPhone screen but that’s why I love it! It’s much easier to see and enjoy, i love my iphone screen and I’ve always wanted to watch movies on it but even the max is tiny for such a task. This is great! Everyone always says that the older iPad has essentially the same screen but that’s only true for the bigger model! I feel like this is the best screen you can really get on an ipad at this size, and I think that plus the novelty and the fun factor of it is nice. But hey, maybe after a month it’ll wear off and I’ll stop using it much. But for now, I’m enjoying it!

Good review. There is one thing IMHO that many miss about an IOS device, especially the new 13in iPad Pro. I use a windows machine every day for work, and my friends use the Mac for work. Both machines are driven by the keyboard, and mouse. The IOS device has a touch screen. I find there are many many times I wish I could just touch the place on the screen I want instead of usinging a track pad, or mouse to move around to find the place to click on. When I use my 13in iPad Pro to do things, I find myself saving time, lots of time. And that is what I think many people miss using a touch screen device like the iPad. Now, they are coming out with Final Cut Pro improvements, and they look very good, and take advantage of the touch capabilities.

It even started freezing the other day it got so hot. I don’t know if anyone else is having this issue but my old iPad Air 4 didn’t have this problem

Thank you for sharing your latest findings, it's 1st time for me to come across heat dissipation issue found on m4 ipad pro tablets... so physics is physics, when heat can't be dissipated away from processors fast enough, thermal throttle happens... so this isn't limited to CISC architecture based CPUs, and it even happens to M4 processor... thx.. hope you'll be able to find a solution to work around this overheating issue... all the best...

Here is an idea for Apple intelligence handwriting improvements: My father used to write in this small caps font style and it would be nice to show it to and AI process and have a font created for me and use it for my hand writing on my iPad!. I would like to be able to do the same thing with my mothers hand writing she also had a compact writing style and rarely printed. My physician is using an AI client to record our discussions during meetings so she can be more focused on me and not on taking notes.

I'm still so sad that the latest magic keyboard only works with the latest iPad :( I need that function row!

[@mythicalism1468]

I recommend a Logitech combo touch

[@justahugenerd1278]

@@mythicalism1468 That's actually what I currently have and I'm not a big fan of how the keyboard feels, so I'm switching over the magic keyboard. I just returned the new one and got the old one instead

Honestly, I don’t need my iPad to replace my laptop, if I had to select between the two I would obvs go for the laptop But my iPad I just wanted it cause, taking notes is fun there and cause entertainment I guess since prefer to read or watch stuff there and it’s comfortable to take everywhere

Great video! Probably still keeping my 11 inch m1 😅

Well done! Great review!

Apple just needs to bring back the 12” MacBook and give it a 360 hinge and touch screen. Even if they grossly overcharged for it, it would sell like crazy

Thank you for your honesty and presentation.

My take on this review is that it goes around the idea of having an iPad as 'a single all purposes one device' replacing a computer entirely. It certainly has a screen big enough for it, as well as the processing power along with its price tag. But that's not how I see tablets. I believe that's not the vast majority of iPad users see them. Since iPad introduction, a new market was born and it has a healthy rich environment full of specific designed apps for the platform both for work and fun. We shouldn't expect to find them and work with them out of the iPad, not it would be a better experience. This iPad Pro is about the best tablet experience possible. Not about replacing your personal computer. At least that's how I see it.

Exactly, I 💯 ageee with you. When I was in school , I needed a computer because majority of the apps run better on a computer. I always thought of a tablet more of a multimedia device than a computer.

The new surface really does look great security issues aside. I love Dex but we need davjnci resolve there.

[@superdanu]

well done on this review.

My use case is as follows: I work for a a corporation in a highly regulated industry. I use it for 85% of my work tasks. I consume a lot of content. Email, power points etc. I do create content but TBH i usually create outlines and give most of what I do to analysts and others to then into PowerPoints etc. So always on, and no vpn is great. But I have an M1 iPad Pro and will see how it reacts iOS 18. I would love the better keyboard, screen and lighter footprint but I’m not sure that I need to shell out 2k for that right now. Down the road as the M1 bogs down, I’ll replace it.

What clipboard manager would you recommend for the iPad or 13 inch air
