Hey peeps - so do you have an iPad, a Macbook, or both? WHY?! Let me know below ;-) + 📣Make sure to get PaperLike for iPad here: paperlike.com/bettercreating2405 - BIG Love!

[@tammypeele1707]

I clicked on the link but it took me to a blank screen???

[@missv7689]

Yes we need more videos of using both not about iPad replacing MacBooks

[@BetterCreating]

It’s an interesting point!

[@1lovisions355]

Facts. I had to scroll past 20 videos to find this specifi topic

[@diotitus]

I swear that the iPad and MacBook is THE BEST tech combination to ever exist.

[@mac3864]

When you actually start trying to do this for any serious work you will quickly become frustrated by all the obstacles the ipad imposes. Eventually you stop using it for work and relegate it to being a large phone. It just can't do many basic things, or it takes much longer to do them than on a Mac. I've given up with my ipad pro and am trying out the new surface pro with arm. It finally has decent performance unlike all previous surface devices i tried.

[@mirainoivuyo984]

Great video. Quick question: how do you do Continuity Camera on iPad for FaceTime calls? I thought that was only an iPhone feature. The screen you're showing at 7:35 only mentions Apple TV. I would love to know how it's done 😃

[@kushvinthmadhavan6270]

Always Better Creating , love it

[@BetterCreating]

Always! Thank you! Cheers

[@crearg8259]

No offense, but if you really do coding, you will realize that SideCar needs to support portrait mode otherwise it can’t even show one function within the display. 13 inch iPad Pro is only as high as MBP 14.

[@BetterCreating]

Ah good point: and I definitely don’t code. Yeah, they should really support sidecar in portrait.

[@mpetrides]

Very nice, brief summary of Sidecar and Universal Control. I use these only rarely, so it will be nice to have a resource I can quickly return to in order to refresh my memory the next time I need to use these features. Thanks!

[@BetterCreating]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much :)

[@Muhammed.Yaseen]

4:13 that charging port is asking you to buy glasses 🤓😂 jk great video ❤ cheers!

[@yippiecalle421]

An interesting video review would be what’s the best combo. Mini or iPad and MacBook air or pro iPad Air or iPad Pro and MacBook Air or pro

[@yunabriones7913]

I'm using both and an apple pencil. they work very very well together!

[@BetterCreating]

Well designed to be together…. A big investment thou! :)

[@borisbojic]

Awesome video! But a sidequestion, what brand and type of keyboard are you using? 🙂

[@BetterCreating]

It’s from Keychron! Here’s the info in another tech video of mine :) link in that description: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJzSZH5pmJd1jqM

[@coolisfoolable]

some may think I'm trolling but I'm dead serious. The best way to increase your productivity is to get a PC.

[@k.vn.k]

PC is trash😊

[@jolewis6913]

Hi, thanks for your vid. I’m thinking of getting a new Ipad (air), will it do the things in your video together with an imac 2021? Also, does the paperlike protect you from UV? Thanks again.

[@BetterCreating]

Nice. Yes, I’m sure the new iPad Air will do the stuff I’m doing here. Good question on paperlike and UV - just check their FAQS via the link :)

[@jolewis6913]

@@BetterCreating Thanks. To answer your question, I have both. An old Ipad to use anywhere and an IMac I hardly use because the subscription for Indesign/Photoshop is too expensive for me, a non professional designer 😢

[@julianborrero4977]

So undecided at the moment. I like apple products for the longevity. An air might suit my needs, but the brightness for reading books in the sun, the camera to replace the scanner, and the M4 chip for future proofing and AI makes me think that's the better bet if I can afford it. But I do worry that my priority should be the laptop, as I still have an Intel Macbook Pro, and mac os sequoia seems really polished. The daft thing about the macs is M2 and upward are all about the same price, the only way to make a saving is to go for an m1 max which is a bit over £1000. Or do I just wait for the M4 to come to the laptop? It's so hard.

[@wolf-dieterschulz-engelke8598]

@@julianborrero4977 I use a M1 max 16 inch matchbook pro und you ca do everything with this. Together with a portable iPad pro is a dream team for me.

[@annaoop2484]

0:06 what happened to your port?

[@CollinJProbst]

WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS!!!

[@BetterCreating]

Woop, a small bit of help perhaps. Haha

[@clevertogo4544]

Hi Simon. I love your videos. It is very polite that you show us time marks in the beginning of your videos. But please: Put them in You Tube too. I don´t want to go back and search for the exact minute. 😄

[@BetterCreating]

Thanks! I do put these on KZbin… pasting again in this comment for you: 🎥 VIDEO CHAPTERS: 00:00 Make The Most of iPad and Macbook: Better Together? 00:41 Using The iPad & Macbook Together: Universal Control, Sidecar & More 05:06 The Best Apps to Use With Apple iPad, Macbook & Apple Pencil 06:47 Quick Tips for Apple Pencil & iPad
