What's in your iPad Mini 6 bag?! (ft. Mark Ellis Reviews)

[@toddcastaldi6536]

Love to see you guys collaborating. It’s funny how shy you both seem together, but so sure of yourselves when you’re solo on your own channels. 😊

[@PatrickRambles]

Haha, did we seem shy? I think it's because it was totally unscripted. Neither of us were used to this.

[@ThatMarkGilroy]

I liked the natural vibe of the conversation. Mark’s “a bit weird” usually only crops up on his newsletter vids.

[@PatrickRambles]

Haha I know exactly what you mean. I guess that too has to do with the unscripted nature of the video, since his newsletter vids are unscripted as well. It was so much fun to make but a b**** to edit - it was soooo long 😂

[@ajeetkanda8410]

I had a 10th gen iPad kzbin.infoUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.

Wow, two of my absolute favorite YT guys!! This is great stuff. I'm addicted to my big 12.9" iPad Pro, but it's cool to see the Mini get it's turn to shine. If Apple ever decided to put a miniLED screen on the Mini, I bet it'd be the top selling tablet of all time.

[@Bruceneuman]

You can see why each of you have had so much success on KZbin. I am an amateur tech nerd, although I do make use of the tech I have everyday at work. The challenge for you guys is how many more videos can you make about charges, screen protectors, headphones and covers, etc., as the industry has not given us anything particularly different in a long time. I have gone off into e-ink devices, which causes a lot of eye rolling around me. Will VR devices really be a thing anytime soon? I doubt it. So, what might be coming down the road that is really new? What can we imagine? Happy travels.

[@awlovestech]

I love the content on your respective channels. This collab was a special treat. Thanks for doing this.

[@PatrickRambles]

Thank you :)

[@theloniousMac]

I also have an iPad Mini. It is my favorite iPad. I have a 12.9 M2 Pro as well. It is my primary knowledge capture and reading and note taking device. I am never without it. To tell the truth I answer the phone with it more often than I use the iPhone. I can’t wait for a new version of the iPad mini. Back in the day people used to carry something called a “Commonplace Book.” A commonplace book is a personal compilation of knowledge, ideas, observations, and quotations. It is a notebook or journal where people record and collect information that they find interesting, useful, or inspiring. The concept of a commonplace book dates back several centuries and has been practiced by many notable individuals throughout history, including writers, philosophers, scientists, and thinkers. The iPad mini is my digital version of a commonplace book. I keep mine in a leather book cover that also holds my Apple Pencil. It is perfect for writing down notes while sitting in a dimly lit bar sipping on a nice scotch or chianti. It never runs out of paper. If you get it with WiFi+Cellular, you almost don’t need a phone. Just add a VOIP plan, from Vonage or someone, even SKYPE. I highly recommend the iPad mini. The idea of carrying that much stuff with the iPad mini seems counter to the idea of the device. IMHO.

[@Daniel-ro6ih]

Garage Band for iPad only records 8 compases unless you set a larger song length or set it to automatic (using the + sign at the top right). That might be the reason why the iPad mini did not record your conversation. Nice video.

[@highlanderes]

Tip: Still waiting for the AW Ultra fast charger without a cable. The Satechi usb c apple watch charger (no cord), charges both the Airpods and Ultra, and with acceptable speed, but only when connected to ipad mini. Connected to other chargers or battery banks, ultra charging has been dog slow for me. But this makes the Satechi the a good non-cable charger to bring with ipad mini cellular that I take everywhere.

@@PatrickRambles kindly i need a favor from you : how to clean the macbook pro braided cable to be pure white again ? Thx !

[@tegztegz]

Its really funny that you guys use so many accessories for such a small portable device, but I love it at the same time, because really it's all about what works for the individual isn't it? No reason to go for a bigger ipad if you like the mini better. I have the ipad air 4, after deciding on it thanks to reviews here and elsewhere, and I still really love it 18 months later.... but I think I would opt for the mini next time, just for portability reasons. That being said, my ipad air has managed to replace my laptop almost completely... I only use a cheap bluetooth keyboard (that magnetically attaches to the outside of my apple folio case when not in use) and the gen 2 pencil, and that's all I carry with me. It all fits in a sleek 12 inch laptop pouch with space for the charger 😊 I do want to play with more accessories (and better quality things) in the future but it really would just be for fun and not because I need it.

[@PatrickRambles]

That last sentence sums up our use case. I don't need 75% of what's in that bag but I like playing around with tech. Mark and I are fortunate enough to have a reason to buy more than one iPad (our channels). If I had to choose only one and I didn't have a laptop, an iPad Pro would still be it. The iPad mini is my favorite tablet though because it doesn't try to be something else. It's just a fun, light, little iPad. :)

Currently using the 5th Gen Mini, and waiting for the 7th before I upgrade. Looking forward to losing the Touch ID (which I never liked), and gaining USB-C, plus whatever else Apple decides to 'give' us. It’ll probably be overly expensive for its form factor but - having just upgraded to an iPhone 13 Mini - it's the size that meets my needs. Anything bigger might end up unused in a drawer.

Question: I love my iPad Mini 6 -- I also carry a iPad Pro 11 inch, I sometimes wonder which one I should take. My main reason for the iPad Pro is more screen room for Web Development and Writing I do. If someone wants the closest experience to the Magic Keyboard, what do you recommend?

@@PatrickRambles Completely agree for iPad Pro, I should of clarified but I meant what do you use to get a close experience for your iPad Mini?

I understood what you meant :). I'm saying that a small Mac version of the magic keyboard (so not the magic keyboard case for iPad) works surprisingly well as Bluetooth keyboard.
