GOOD AND BAD 10 Days with the iPad 8

I just spent 10 days using my iPad 8 as my daily driver. No Mac Air, no Dell XPS - and only using the main system for my job. The iPad 8 is one of the best budget tablets in 2020 but can it really compete with a laptop? Well, I had one major frustration which I resolved, but for the most part, I think I liked the iPad better…
Other than the file management system - which simply isn’t as sophisticated as MacOS or Windows - the device easily held up. Want to know more? Watch the video!

What's up everyone? My first 10 days with the iPad 8 were a ton of fun! I hope this video gives you insight to the actually user experience including the good and the bad. Overall things went great and there was really just one area (so far that was frustrating - and I resolved it). Curious to see what happens for the next few week. Are you picking up an iPad 8 or waiting for the iPad Air 4?

[@cheerupbaby-m8z]

Hi! My iPad 8th gen is now delivered yippee!!!!!

[@Applejacks3108]

Thank you for this review! So much great info and I really appreciate it! I want to get my hubby an upgrade to his 4th generation iPad. In the past he mentioned not needing the latest Air/Pro versions since he uses his iPad for general purposes and playing games. No need to spend a huge amount of $$$.

iPad 8th gen lightning to usb reader need power source for my 64gb pendrive ?????? How can I access my 64gb pendrive ???

[@starrbraggs5557]

I purchased the 128 gb iPad 8 on sale for $380 with Best Buy’s price match and got the K380 keyboard by Logitech and Apple Pencil and Apple Care Plus also have MX Anywhere 2s mouse by Logitech, Speck iPad Cover and everything in total cost me $636.00. I think that is pretty good since I would have spent well over $1,000 on the new iPad Air as I would still need the pencil, keyboard, mouse and Apple Care. And I would have wanted the 256 gb model as 64 gb just isn’t enough for me. By the way BRAND NEW SUBSCRIBER here and I love your informative content. : )

My iPad is several years old. I use the same wireless keyboard that you have been using with yours. This one is my third iPad purchase. I always try to buy the largest storage I can afford. It was a no brainer to get the 128 for less than $100 more. One of the things that bothers me with the higher end iPads is the loss of the head phone jacks. I purchased another one for my wife. I would probably try the iPad Air next, but I’m use corded Bose head phones. I have a desktop and laptop windows computers that I rarely use. The new apple computers are tempting, but I really don’t need them.

Another terrific video. Here's my reality. As a prospective first time purchaser of an iPad, your iPad videos challenge me - in a good way. Ideologically, I very much like the idea of the onscreen keyboard as an important feature of the iPad as an independent touch device in addition to not liking at all what I consider the expensive, poorly designed apple smart keyboard. But, as with your other videos about this range of devices, you provide an easy to understand review of the actual UX of the iPads. I would love you to review your UX of the apple Magic Trackpad 2 with the iPads. Thought-provoking and invaluable content.

I bought an iPad Air 3 about 18 months ago and it is faulty (common touch problem with this device). I now need to buy a replacement and it’s so hard to decide. My three options are: 1. iPad 128gb (I already have 1st gen pencil) - £409 2. iPad Air 64gb + 2nd gen Apple Pencil - £641 3. iPad Pro 128 GB + 2nd gen Apple Pencil - £805 I could sell my 1st gen pencil for around £55 The iPad Air 3 is all that I need and I really like it but even with the deals I’m not prepared to risk buying it again. I plan to use the iPad for hand writing university notes, KZbin, surf web and possibly in future I might even buy a Logitech case so I can type on Overleaf with it. I love how the iPad can come with 128gb amount (I can definitely get by with 64GB but always nice to have more) but I only have 2 concerns: 1. The use of the pencil with a non-laminated display 2. Will the A12 processor be good for the next 5 years (I don’t like to buy new tech all the time) If these are non-issues then I guess I’d go with the iPad. My only concern with the Air is if you’re paying a lot more for not much gain. Is the A14 much superior to A12 and would Air last much longer? Which of the iPad would you recommend? (I’m sorry for this essay)

[@TechGearTalk]

You have all the variables nailed! If you are ok with the gen 1 pencil - it sounds like the iPad 8 128 is plenty for what you need. Of course the a14 is newer and more powerful, but will you actually use that power?

Got the 32 also, arrives in 48 hours can’t wait !!happy birthday to me 🤓🤓 I don’t need more than 32 I have 128 on my new ip 13 How are you all liking your iPad 8 everyone ??

[@jimmyhu115]

THX for sharing, I never used any Apple device before, the screen of Ipad 2020 is already good for me.

[@danielleandrade6345]

After watching a bunch of reviews about the 8th gen I finally bought it. Love your channel very informative and not biased. Can’t wait for mine to arrive 😍😍

[@TechGearTalk]

Thank you for the feedback and for being part of the community Danielle 🙏

I agree best review so far . Explains everything, detail bad and good Adding a charging port for the pen was different good idea . Doing research for my 12 year old daughter. For the long run . Hopefully ipad 8 is good

[@wingtuzi887]

Got the Air after watching this video, I don't regret it at all.

[@TechGearTalk]

So glad it was helpful!!

[@NicksLocker]

ive been using the same keyboard for mine and it's spectacular i think. not to mention the price difference between that and the apple smart keyoards! i can agree and i think it's so cool to see how the entry level iPad is really taking the place as like a budget apple laptop. ive been using the iPad as my main portable computer with an iMac at home and this has been serving me well, i have no problem at all web browsing, doing office docs, etc., pretty much everything from it.

Replying every comment...you are really amazing!!!!

I do my best

[@harikrishnank9009]

I am planning to buy a ipad 8th gen for my wife. She is a civil engineer. She wants to use AUTO CAD and some drawing softwares on that. So which one is best ( 32gb or 128gb)... Pls give me a reply

[@traceekd6816]

I’m planning to buy an iPad when I start graduate school. Do you recommend the 32GB or the 128GB if I plan on airdropping all my files to my MacBook Pro?

[@TechGearTalk]

If you're not storing a lot of files on the ipad or installing a ton of huge apps, 32GB is enough

[@traceekd6816]

@@TechGearTalk Thanks for the informative video and taking the time to share your insight! It's very helpful

[@dyll109]

Cant decide Ipad 8th Gen, Ipad Air 4 or Ipad Pro 11. The pricing where Im from is not that far off. - Ipad 8th Gen+ Pencil ($897 128GB) - Ipad Air 4 ($1169 256GB) - Ipad Pro 11 ($1298 128GB) You see for a bit more I could get the Ipad Air but then if I add a lil bit more I could get the Pro 🤔

[@akshayh5281]

Haha that is the case in every part of the world you have to Choose the best one based on your needs

[@sawbonescadet835]

The best review , just want you to add on note taking and making slide presentations

[@TechGearTalk]

Good idea. Both work great by the way.

[@RAG0407]

I keep hearing that the newer iPads are a replacement for a laptop. So I experimented and I found 1) chrome extensions don't work so clippers don't work. 2) teams has limited presentation with only ppt and screen. 3) shiftscreen seems great but not sure if it works with key work apps and 4) is there a shortcut to close an app besides swipe up? There is still lots to like about using an iPad but what else does work when u jump from a laptop?

[@maury2zz]

The Apple Pencil 1st Gen has an adapter which has female lightning to female lightning in the box :)

[@Chase-nd5oc]

I just bought this with a first gen pencil; the pencil came with a female adapter for the lightning cable and the pencil so you can plug it into the wall instead of the iPad

[@Anveshverma]

I'm going to buy this for my study purpose 32 Gb...How many gb system takes? And what about study offer

[@TechGearTalk]

iPad came up with about 14GB preinstalled. But you can still remove things like Garage band which is 1.7Gb, etc. Thanks for being part of the channel!

[@WORLDINONEGO]

System as of now takes up around 10 gb after uninstalling all crap stuff

[@ikywTROUBLE]

32gb is not enough... i'm 8 weeks into my first semester in college and my ipad air already took up 15gb

[@AbeM.]

I have set up my ipad mini so it's entirely possible for me to do most things I need for work on it. Just in case. I haven't really needed to yet, but I do use it to check our databases quite regularly, it works wonderfully to run a quick query on a separate screen.

[@faizaxlabib]

This is a very good video. I had all these questions in my mind. Thanks for making it.

[@TechGearTalk]

My pleasure! Thanks for being part of the channel!

[@fcmalapitan2269]

I'm torn between choosing ipad air 4 v. Ipad 8th gen. I'm going to use it for online classes, and I think 8th gen will do but ipad air would probably last for a long time with me. You post the best ipad reviews btw. Thank you.

[@billbigshlong382]

They’ll both be good enough for you. If you don’t *need* the upgrade of the air, the base 8 will be plenty enough for 95 percent of people.

[@captainmarvel6]

Bro I'm Planning to take 32gb variant (I've watched your storage comparison) But I'm having doubt After few months does the app size will increase like If the MS Word app Consumes 272 mb when it gets installed and I'm just creating few documents maximum of 20 mb then the app size will be around 292 mb but I want to you ask if I keep the app like this (idle) only will the app size increase if I'll just open and view the documents ?? Means slowly slowly the app shouldn't cross 300mb of storage! Please answer !

[@TechGearTalk]

It should not increase in size unless they release updates that take up more space (but even then, it won't be a huge increase).

[@betzy94]

you definitely shouldn't get the 32gb, after a few months you will regret it so bad, money wasted

[@captainmarvel6]

@@betzy94 I'll not be gonna do anything entertainment or gaming on it just open the documents and zoom meeting that's it Thanks for your answer 😃

[@alessiodelpapa3029]

Great content mate! very helpful

[@deltasierra1774]

Why does nobody ever talk about how the Apple Pencil comes with a lightning charging adapter.

[@TechGearTalk]

It definitely does

[@derynandragenfamily8805]

Very keen to see the update, I so concerned about buying the new iPad, my old ones have become toys the kids.
