She’s a keeper!

[@vincentyoung3867]

Definitely digging the new shot set up! 🔥

[@hotmintchoco]

i actually liked it better when you sat beside your monitor and spoke. that format fit me the best, i really liked seeing your Ikea pegboard + accessories etc in the bg . just my two cents

As someone who’s first iPad is coming next week, this video is making me VERY excited 🥳🥳

[@EsAndreita]

Getting an iPad was a game changer, I forgot my phone and switch exist 😂

[@Cookieclickinglegacy]

Which one was it? How is it rn?

[@Stan_sprinkle]

If you go for an Apple Magic Keyboard or Apple Pencil, look for Amazon renewed versions or “open box” versions from places like Best Buy (depending where you are). I got a perfect condition Amazon renewed Magic Keyboard for USD 170, and an open box pencil from B&H Photo for $90

[@PatriciaMuirMaestroQ]

Congratulations. Have fun.

[@No-limit-raccoon]

Yay

[@DeJuanchi27]

I have the iPad pro 12.9 inch. and I remember going inside Best Buy and looking at the keyboards, since during that time I need a key board that would help me write my daily task. eventually I saw the Magic Keyboard which is or was 350$, not cheap. however, I wanted something premium and reliable, so I decided to go and buy it and give it a try; since with Best Buy regular members can try it out for 15 days. Once I bough it, I instantly went to Starbucks to write down some ideas and the experience was priceless. I was amazed at how smooth the typing felt, how well the track pad register my movement, and all I had to do was put it on the keyboard with no pairing required. really worth the buck.

[@NorfTec]

Although I really like the Magic Keyboard I really couldn’t justify the cost for the 12.9”, I instead went with a Logitech keyboard, Magic Trackpad and stand, all fit in my iPad sleeve and imo offer a better experience

[@ByteReview]

nice, Logitech stuff is great !

[@cheryl5994]

I chose the Logitech Combo Touch, I love it! I love the all round protection, the track pad is on point, it’s easy to separate & use as a tablet only. I love the look & feel of it & there’s no messy fingerprint smudge marks which I’ve heard people say are hard to clean on the iPod Magic. I did learn a lot from this channel & he’s always my go-to guy for his opinion & honest reviews.

[@dansanger5340]

@@cheryl5994 The Logitech Combo Touch is great. It connects via pogo pins, so doesn't need its own battery. The kickstand is fully adjustable like the Microsoft Surface. It turns my iPad 8 into a small, durable, and inexpensive travel "laptop." And, they have versions for several different iPads.

[@onecleangti]

I have an iPad mini and I’ve found I really like it to be a media consumer, I took the advice of getting a keyboard and linking my mouse to it, but IPadOS is so frustrating to use because things aren’t consistent without touch inputs. I gave up and returned my keyboard. Universal control is a game changer though

[@davidchantapanya746]

Just got mine in the mail today. kzbin.infoUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U The corners of the box was a little smashed but I think that’s more of the shipping’s fault. iPad was in perfect condition though. I ordered the yellow one thinking it was going to be a bright vibrant color. Instead I looks like more of a Gold color. I personally prefer the gold look. Definitely not disappointed but just a heads up to the ones expecting a brighter cream of yellow.

[@traceysmith311]

If you know anyone that uses an iPad with a young child, say six years old or younger those logitech crayons are amazing for them. Well, I personally prefer the Apple Pencil and use it with my iPad. Our school district buys those logitech crayons to go with our iPads for kindergarten and first grade students.

[@ByteReview]

Sounds like the perfect use for them!

[@guillaumev.5924]

Or just don't give children ipads or any smartphone/tablets because this is a disaster for their development

[@DieFarbeLila88]

…. In what scenario does a kindergarten child need an iPad? I`m confused 😅

[@Breadystickle]

​@DieFarbeLila88 actually lots of schools have implemented technology into learning. I would say it makes sense, i didnt use much tech in elementary school but i also noticed a big improvement in middle school when my school started implementing tech and learning games and websites into the curriculum for stuff like math and conceptual topics. And then by high school it was extremely important. Wasnt much of a note taker because of hand fatigue and my terrible handwriting and i would get distracted doodling through lectures but typing was super helpful. Anyways, tech is pretty intertwined in everyday life now and I know to some it feels like a vice, but I feel its beneficial overall. One day these students will grow older and either be extremely proficient with their tech or hopeless

[@jameslenney]

I’m being paid nothing to say that Paperlike is awesome - I’m loving the general feel on my iPad - love the matte nature of the look and feel.

[@Ddiakova]

The Kiroku radio is on non stop replay on my Spotify whenever I'm working. I just wish the vol.2 will be released there soon : )) As for the video - high-quality content as always. I bought a Zugu case for my Air and I've been absolutely loving it!! I'm also looking out for a new stand for my office but the issue I have is that the Zugu case is so sturdy it's a pain to get the iPad in and out all the time and I carry it with me all the time and I'm afraid I''ll drop it somewhere :D So taking it out of the case to snap it to a magnet is not really an option :(

[@ByteReview]

Thanks for the kind words on the lofi! Vol 2 will be on spotify soon!

[@primozin]

What the hell, man? You have such compelling reasons for your stuff, with marvelous storytelling, that I feel I must buy them too. I can't stop watching your videos, such a great atmosphere.

[@SpawnPoiint]

Tom this is an awesome video. Love the Lofi channel idea.

[@ByteReview]

Thanks man!

[@bobmetzger51]

Just a quick jump-in. My iPad desk stand by Anker, while not as small as yours is lovely. It too has changed the way I use the iPad at my desk. Adjustable height is a game changer compared to the iPad Magic Keyboard.

[@ryanwells3131]

Loving my m2 iPad Pro. It’s my first iPad and I couldn’t be happier with it ❤ waiting and saving to get the Magic Keyboard soon I’m excited lol

[@rollpig-3268]

Just brought the white magic keyboard and I love it! So beautiful! But I'm kinda afraid that it would get dirty. Planning on buying a sticker to cover it.

[@ThatMarkGilroy]

Kiroku radio is absolutely top notch! Thank you for all you’ve put into it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ByteReview]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@WolfieSilveira]

I got the M1 last year, and i splurged on myself to get the magic keyboard and the apple pen too. i am so glad i did get those. I think ill also invest in a x-box controller as i want to play more games on my ipad and that one seems to be the best one atm

[@Boback111]

The one dongle thingy is the HyperDrive, comes with an extension if you have a case preventing a clean connection.

[@andy36240]

The color tone of this video is nice.

[@Shihen-126]

I bought the metapen for my ipad 8 gen and for 20€ its really worth for the price :)))

[@time2livelife]

I’m torn on the Apple magic keyboard. I have it and I use it daily, but it annoys me that it cannot fold flat. When I take my iPad off to take notes, the cameras keep it from laying flat so it’s a little wobbly and so I find myself having to carry a magnetic case with me so I can switch back and forth more easily. I recently got the MOFT cover buddy case, which works great but it’s made of super cheap plastic and still costs $70… but the only two brands that make this are Moft and Switch Easy and both are the same price. It’s annoying to have to spend that much extra when it already costs $300 for the keyboard. Even though the cover buddy case suits my needs, I really hate how cheap it feels.

[@v8706]

Hii only because of this reason i choose logitech keyboard but its not worth it because only after 2 months of usage it’s quality started to degrade now iam gonna buy Magic Keyboard and moft or switch easy can you tell me which one is better moft or switch easy ?

[@time2livelife]

@@v8706 I have the MOFT case but I think the Switch Easy might be better quality. If you buy it on Amazon, you can return it if you don’t like it. Unfortunately, I bought mine directly from the manufacturer website. My boyfriend has the Logitech keyboard and he likes it, but I like to use my iPad in bed and the Logitech isn’t good for that because it needs a desk.

[@time2livelife]

@@v8706 Actually, it looks like all of the brands use a cheap plastic for the case. I guess it only matters while it’s not attached to the magic keyboard.

[@v8706]

@@time2livelife i think you should try pitaka case i just found about about that and it's really good also in terms of build quality it's pitaka pro or pitaka case for ipad pro

[@Jorda5s]

You should update this with the video capture card and Orion app or any of the others that allow you to use the iPad as a monitor now for games or whatever hdmi input you’d like. Barely any latency on the right capture cards.

[@iAngelEliza]

LOVE the vid and your selections. Super nice clean style. Was wondering what kind of stand up desk you have? and that wall light too?

[@rouenandreipineda1686]

can i just reccomend the detachable paper like.. It uses magnets to strongly attach to the ipad but when u dont want the paper like screen whe watching or outside u can take it off. Also You can add other screen protector ontop of it and it doesnt intervine

[@janeS9773]

Great video!! Love the Logitech Crayon 2 FYI It's really great!

[@michaeljurwin]

I am genuinely curious how you go about using the iPad so much when you have the Mac Studio. I find myself using my iPad not a whole lot for anything aside from pencil related tasks. How do you find yourself using the iPad so much, especially docked with a display when you could easily just use the Mac Studio instead? (I am wanting to use my iPad more to justify having the thing but I find its easier to just use my Mac for most things)

[@ByteReview]

I have a video on just that kzbin.info/www/bejne/anaviKiqpdJ5bdk

[@LucienSabre]

The best cheap alternative to the Apple Pencil - both 1 and 2, as it works with all models - for me is the Goojodoq Pencil; there are two models of it right now I believe, one with magnetic charging (priced at around $40) and the other with normal wired charging (priced at around $30). I’ve been using the latter for over a year now with my iPad Mini 6, and it does pretty much everything the Apple Pencil does. I couldn’t be more happier with it.

[@TheChaz96]

I totally agree. I have both. And if you’re in Asia you can pick them up even cheaper.

[@ayamoshikaari6875]

I have one with the normal wired charging but i use it with my android phone.. I don't really like it, the point of the pencil don't have much sensitivity it is the same if i use ipad??

[@LucienSabre]

@@ayamoshikaari6875 I have no idea because I don’t know which pencil you have - it’s not the Goojodoq Pencil as that’s only compatible with Apple devices.

[@HistoryNut-1701]

When I got an ESR Magnetic Rebound Keyboard Case for my 12.9” iPad, I put the Magic Keyboard back in the box. This is Bluetooth, but it has some features that Apple left off, and I do like it better than the Magic Keyboard.

[@ByteReview]

Nice, I’ll have to check it out

[@HistoryNut-1701]

Hi, I’m curious about something. Have you ever used any iPad case product from Moft combining with this magnetic stand? If you have, can you share your experience using them together? Would they stick well?

[@Rooftopaccessorizer]

Also it’s worth noting that both ps4 and Xbox one controllers are natively supported by iOS now as far as I know, so now need to buy a dedicated one for your iPad!

Love my iPad. I can’t imagine using it without an Apple Pencil. It’s brilliant for schoolwork, as well as playtime. Sure, somethings are better on the laptop. But as an overall package, I can’t fault it.

[@ByteReview]

Pencil is essential imo

[@lolgyllenhaal]

11 inch or 12.9 inch? Im conflicted as i will be using it for school work and also media consumption/gaming so i thought 12.9 looked kinda overkill. (Bear in mind i do not have a laptop)

[@anaymakan6989]

@@lolgyllenhaal I mean personally bigger is better. Especially for media. Not only does the 12.9 have mini LED on some models. It also has better speakers which will be better for gaming and media. I have the 11 inch and am happy but sometimes wish i spent the extra to get the 12.9

[@sparky6757]

About your description of the Apple Pencil as essential - I think I’m a fairly “average” iPad user. I use it for things that aren’t very feasible on my phone’s screen, but don’t require my Windows laptop - a middle ground where it’s still small enough to comfortably move around, but does 90% of what I used to do on my laptop. Anyway, a week in my iPad’s life looks something like this: - every day at lunch time, my iPad’s running KZbin while I eat. I set a video going and put my iPad aside - any time I have a Zoom meeting, a document that needs typing, or other such productive ventures, I’ve got my iPad set up on a table with a connected keyboard. This happens most every day as well - maybe once or twice a week, I use my Apple Pencil for drawing Am I glad I got an Apple Pencil? Yes. I’ve always wanted to draw but was always terrible at it through high school, gave it another go when I bought my iPad, and digital drawing with the Apple Pencil was an instant dramatic improvement. I don’t draw every day or anything, it’s just a hobby, but I’m glad I got an Apple Pencil. But if I didn’t like drawing? It would see ZERO use. Why would I want to handwrite with the Apple Pencil? Keyboard is quicker and neater. Or if I let Scribble interpret my words and turn them into type, it gets the word right MAYBE half the time. Apple Pencil is a great drawing tool. I suppose if you like handwriting, it’s the best way to do that too. If you don’t like handwriting and you don’t like drawing though, it’s got nothing. And that’s fine, that’s why it’s an accessory that’s sold separately - because it’s not something that every single iPad owner needs.
