@@Aaron_Bleu why do they need to sell MacBooks when this could be better and cost more both because of the initial price and because of the accessories? I don’t believe the cannibal market explanation, either way you sell something and make a profit and slow the production of what’s not selling. If it were simply cannibalisation, wouldn’t you see slower iterations of the MacBook Air? People with the M1 don’t really need an M2 or M3

[@jeffrey2705]

One simple reason. IF Apple put MacOS on the new iPad M4 it wouldn't sell a single laptop on its line right now. So by limiting the M4 chip by software, they will profit more from the laptop line with MacOS installed. It's all about money, not hardware limitations.

For what the iPad does at the moment. I do believe we can replace the laptop. If you are a IT professional or your needs are a lot greater than others. I would say setting up a VM on your Home network and (with proper security rules) connect to it with Apache guacamole. This will allow you to use the iPad without any hurdles or limitations. Furthermore, we are at a time where we have plenty of options than what's offered from Apple. Example, you hate the magic keyboard, you can build a low profile wireless Bluetooth split keyboard and customize the key mappings (Lily 58). Yes, you will most likely spend more time and money for the convenience, but you are tailoring the experience for your needs.

@7:45 - instead of using command and Q to quit Safari, use command and W. This closes out a single tab each time until Safari also quits… after final tab is closed. Command W will also close out any other application in your main screen. Also command shift, arrow is a bug. I can confirm that this works normally on my iPad and Magic Keyboard.

There are a few things that were muscle memory on my Mac that I had adjust to on my iPad but after a while I don’t even think about it or notice this anymore and I adopted new habits on my iPad. An iPad is just as capable as a Mac at this point it’s just a bit different. With enough time everything becomes second nature.

[@rickybrunet2852]

OK, I use both an iPad and a MacBook Pro. But for years my iPad was my only "laptop". Many of the issues you had with the iPad not working like the Mac is a matter of getting used to how things are done on iPad. It is an iPad, not a Mac. And that means that it is touch first, trackpad second. By the way, why do you have an almost American accent if you are from Romania and live in the UK? I live in the US but I'm originally from PR? 🤔

I agree with some of the others that have said what makes the iPad different is that is a touch first display so it doesn’t relay on keyboard shortcuts as much.

I have the 2020 12.9 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard and love it. As an educator, it is portable, connects to all servers and can use it for teaching in class, planning lessons and taking notes using the Apple Pencil during meetings. Yes, I had to learn different shortcuts with a few tasks however, I would never go back to a notebook/laptop especially what the Department provides. A slow ACER machine worth 800 dollars with a battery that lasts 4 hrs. I see other teachers always searching for a power outlet to charge their device. My 2020 iPad Pro is light years ahead with regards to brightness, chip speed , battery performance and has an App Store with thousands of productivity and education apps. I wish all students had an iPad, the iPad 10 that is an amazing device and can accomplish all tasks students require. If only the Department of Education promoted an Apple Device and not the crappy ACER machines.

That's kinda what I'm looking at too. A replacement for the poor excuse of a laptop for my classroom, airplay to smart board, and replacing all my music scores to a digital form. My biggest concern is the awkwardness of an iPad when I have no other Apple products in my room or at home.

I upgraded from the 2017 10.5” iPad Pro. In my opinion, it was totally worth it to go to 512GB 11” M4. Performance. Display. Keyboard. Dramatic difference for both productivity and media consumption. 5G and the ability to effectively work in airports and outside make a big difference.

[@chrisa4072]

to be honest, Apple should allow better connectors to accessories that would instantly turn it into a MacOS laptop. the smart keyboard can hold extra features (ie - more storage, GPU, m-series processor) that would sync with the iPad for a modular setup. otherwise, most of us who use iPads as laptop replacements actually remote in to a cloud instance (ie - AWS, Azure, colo VMs, etc) and that works just as well as having a desktop OS (whether that’s Windows, Linux, or MacOS). i agree the screen is the best part of iPad and it’s a shame that we can’t use it for how we want to use it as a computing device.

[@randolphvail3346]

Super helpful Daniel! Thank you thank you!!

[@crearg8259]

If i hadn’t purchased the iPad Pro M4 13 inch with magic keyboard, I’d agree woth your opinion. Yes, it’s significantly better than the 13 inch M2 iPad (Pro+Air) thanks to the lighter weight and the new magic keyboard, but that’s it. Lack of delete key makes remote desktop painful, and the iPad version office apps, the external display scaling experience, the mouse/keyboard shortcuts, it can’t compete with any Mac. Honestly I’m comfortable paying $2000 for an upgraded iPad Pro with macOS, it’s still cheaper than the 13 inch MBA ($800) + 13 inch iPad Pro($1300) + $350 Magic Keyboard. But if it’s limited to iPadOS, I can only pay $500 for the 11 inch air+$3000 for a configured MBP.

[@arthuslim]

Vlog-like, nice one. Likes how this video showcases the limitations of iPad Pro M4 and re-learning how we do works, productivity ones especially. Compare this with other videos telling us how great iPad Pro is or iPad Pro should be a Mac, this video is definitely spot-on. I've trade in my old devices i.e., Surface Pro X and iPad Pro 2020 to give iPad Pro another shot. It's definitely a re-learning experience everyday... it gets my works done but not without compromises, like how MS word format painter sometimes refuse to work (particularly in split-screen, with 2 words doc open side-by-side). Tips: drag the working doc bigger, it works... sometimes. Worse case if I get tired of this learning experience, I'll go with the new Surface Pro 11. Until then, I enjoy this iPad Pro interface.

[@user-qk9kd2ev6b]

My device usage started with the iPad first, then the MacBook and I use more the iPad as I’m more used to its shortcuts. MacBook can do more but it’s complicated. But they complement each other. Today I’m on a trip to Gran Canaria, and had to watch a class online. I trusted only the iPad and it was horrible. I usually watch from my MacBook and make notes on the iPad. Doing both at the same time, ditching the book for the digital version + having everything going on at the same time The same device with an 11” screen, was chaotic, although it had enough power to it. Media consumption and note-taking are 10/10 with an iPad. Working with it really depends on what kind of work you do, it helps if you need to be as portable as possible, but at the end, you’ll feel like a big iPhone with a keyboard. My dream is to have a MacBook as powerful as an iPad in specs without needing a 16” device

[@user-jv5lx2zc4k]

[@TimWong49152]

Since day 1, what the iPad does, it does very well. It will never replace a MacBook unless the iPad Pro gets released with MacOS. You can't install Crossover and then install and play Grand Theft Auto 5. You can't download emulators like MAME to play classic arcade games. You can't install BitTorrent and download movies. You can't install Garmin Basecamp and create travel routes for GPS. You can't install VMware Fusion and install guest operating systems. I take my iPad Air 4 whenever I travel and while watching KZbin in bed. Otherwise, everything is done on my MacBook Pro. Apple has the power to change this but they never will.

Before diving into the idea, it's crucial to thoroughly understand how things work in practice. While some specialized use cases might benefit, the usefulness largely depends on your specific workflow and needs. In reality, if you frequently require even simple functions like copy and paste across multiple scenarios, sticking with a traditional laptop OS may save you a lot of frustration. The iPad OS is quite limited, especially in environments where cross-software functionality is essential. You can thank me later for this advice.

[@mondotv4216]

I like the measured approach. It isn't surprising that at the end you decided to revert to the 2018 model. Because that is the only real problem with iPadOS on the iPad M4 Pro.

Hey Daniel, thanks for the great video. Due to the OS limitations and Apple’s marketing approach, iPad is not an actual MAC replacement yet. However, especially for me it fills in a very important gap for travels. I mostly use Safari, WhatsApp Web, Microsoft Office and Mail for work. This is what most people do. For such people, m4 11inch is a very good travel companion. I can multitask enough, I enjoy the beautiful screen, magic keyboard works very well, and it fits well to any tiny place. It does not wobble like 13 inch, it is much better on my lap compared to MBA and a much better entertainment device including mobile gaming like COD mobile and Netflix. Overall, it has become an enjoyable device for light work, entertainment during travels replacing MBA or as an MBA companion at the office or at home.

However, it's just that somethings (screen sharing, data transfer, key shortcuts, etc.) of iPad OS sometimes really makes me so angry that, i just have to carry both laptop and iPad for work. In the end of the day it's a tablet and a laptops a laptop.... which is also why i personally think that iPad air line up and iPad mini line up are the most suitable for anyone. For a daily designer if Apple doesn't fix up this screen sharing system like Samsung did their DEX, i think I'll switch to Samsung tab while carrying a mini 6 for stuffs.

I have the 13 inch iPad Pro, what drive me nuts when I try to use it in a similar way to the Mac in terms of keyboard shortcuts. Apple should make the experience as close as possible

You can save video directly to Files by choosing Share > Save to Files You can choose another media player like KM Player to pause the video and still see the timestamp In short, it's not the iPad, it's you

[@travistouthang341]

Simple inference(no need to overcomplicate it) :- The ipad is tablet and the mac is a pc. You can definitely replace mac with ipad for moderate use, but not as effecient as the latter, and vice versa. The ipad and mac are not the same.

Still rocking and loving my 2018 11” pro. Yes I would love to have that crispy new display but the price to switch makes no sense

[@peterpayne2219]

iPads must ALWAYS be bought in Cellular versions. No exceptions!!

Instead of watching the video, go straight to the comment and get the summary. Thanks chat you saved my limited internet plan.

You were in Vilnius! What did you think of our city?

[@RomaFedorov]

So many people have tried this and almost all of them failed. Until Apple changes iPadOS drastically, a MacBook is always going to be a better choice as a main device.

I would gladly buy a maxed out iPad instead of a MacBook if they gave me full fledge Final Cut Pro in it.

[@peat381low8]

The only thing I saw from professionals using iPad Pro is that they can't use their company logo when sending from their work email client. Other than that the iPad Pro is built for today's online apps and wireless connectivity. I love my iPad Pro. I have been all my songs on GarageBand just fine. And we take for granted how fast our mobile devices are today compared to 8 yrs ago.

Never seen the mail icon with 75,386 emails... wow

Imagine an MacBook Air M4 with an OLED 120hz display. End game.

It's an interesting topic that so many people and myself wonder if tablets are at the point to become people's main device. And I love the video what you've done and shown! But tablets have a place, but that place just isn't a main device for most people. I find my iPad Air can do 80% of what my laptop can do, but only actually maybe 50% of what I would do comfortably. And to me that's good.

It was Tallinn skyline not Vilnius 3:34

Fail of epic proportions. Shows competence )))

[@Khari99]

This proves to me that there isn't a real use case for me for an iPad other than watching videos. I'll stick with my mac and get an iPad if I just feel like burning a hole in my wallet.

[@PSy84]

Vision pro for videos. iPad mini 6 for ipad

[@arjeyflordelis]

@@PSy84Exactly! Ipad mini with 120hz and oled would be perfect tho.

[@MrAronRobinson]

So doing artwork isn’t part of any of your jobs, then. I find it indispensable. A Mac could never replace it.

[@Khari99]

@@MrAronRobinson yeah I’m not an artist. Just a programmer. But I can see how for a graphic artist, it’s great. Curious as to whether you’d prefer the nano textured glass vs the glossy display as an artist

[@sp33drcr]

I agree with you about For All Mankind. That show is so good!

[@lecupilot]

Do you think that it worth to get the 1TB version not just for the extra core but for the 16GB memory. Thinking on the furure?.thanks!

[@carlospcpro]

I still believe and defend the vision of Steve Jobs for the iPad, a middle device not a replacement for anything.
