BAD CHOICE?! M2 11” iPad Pro vs iPad Air 5

Рет қаралды 668,600

Жыл бұрын

This could be the first time EVER, where going Pro might be a better option, EVEN for someone who doesn’t NEED pro features. So the question is - are you better off spending the extra money and getting the 11” M2 iPad Pro? Or is the M1 iPad Air 5 - still a better value.
Now, a lot of times, I don’t talk about the prices until the end, but in this case, it puts things in perspective. So the iPad Air 5 starts at $599 and the 11” iPad Pro starts at $799 - so we’re looking at a $200 difference. But, we’re only getting 64GB of internal storage with the iPad Air 5, vs 128Gb with the iPad Pro.

As a medical student AND someone who relies on my parents for expenses, the price point will always be the best factor for me (plus if the features are worth it!). Most will say "Oh get the Pro if you're going to get the Air 5" but the iPad Air 5 costs around $725 in where I live, while the Pro M2 11 inches costs around $1,000 dollars already. That $275 price difference is already a lot and my parents might not buy me an iPad altogether if I ask for the 11 inch Pro. I went from the iPad Air 1 and now I went with the Air 5 and I love it, the 64GB might be small for some but it is more than enough for me who uses my iPad for notes and watching recorded lectures.

Since this is my first ever iPad, I decided why not go for the newest one? Settled on the iPad 11" Pro. Tried both the 11 and 12.9 in the Apple store and the 12.9 is nice... but MAN is it massive! Honestly, it felt comedically large. I felt at that point, you might as well just go for a laptop. The 11" felt so nice in the hand, and using the apple pencil (which I also bought because I feel if you don't, you're really missing out on a huge feature set on the iPads), it felt so much more natural with the 11". Even when drawing, the 12.9 was nice for the massive screen size, but that was about it. The 11 is the right one for me; my thinking is that the iPad is supposed to be an ULTRA portable device right behind a phone so I went with the smaller one. Considering the only real difference between the 11 and the 12.9 spec wise is the battery size and the screen, I think I made the right choice. This iPad will literally last me years to come.

@melindagallegan5093 Жыл бұрын

I got the 11 inch iPad Pro after 8 years of using the 1st gen 12.9 iPad Pro. The smaller size taking more time to get used too, but for once using my smaller iPad Pro for reading seems very feasible. I was originally torn between a 256gb m1 iPad Air and a 512gb m2 iPad Pro. I went with the 11inch iPad Pro and ended up going less the 50 pounds over the ipad air price.

In Switzerland you can (on Digitec) get an Max-Config iPad Air 5 (927 CHF) for nearly the same price as an iPad Pro 11" (929 CHF, if you are fine with space grey). So when you compare the base models of both of them it's about a 300 CHF difference, i ended up buying a Air with 256GB storage. Haven't regret it since.

I figured the 32 gb was too little (and so are gonna be the 64 gb of the new base iPad) and 256 gb seems overkill for the purpose I want it for... So I'm going for the 128 gb iPad Pro.

But I’m your every day average user email, web, browsing, very little, but some social media, and lots of streaming so that would lead me to believe that I don’t need everything the iPad Pro offers. Also, I don’t want to waste money if it’s something I don’t need. You told us exactly the differences between the two and why they make a difference. You also explained who needs which model and how much hard drive you might need. So thank you so much! I wish I would’ve seen this video first. Take care and have a great day.

I bought Air 5 64gb wifi in beautiful blue for 558 chf new in store. I bet that the Pro worths almost the double price. Everyone seems to worry about the 64gb is too small. It still lets you use multiple huge apps and there is still space, but of course sometimes you may need to mindful about your storage. Do not store anything else apart from apps there, use an external SSD for example. I am using it with a Studio Display and can't even see the difference between the 5K and 4K resolution when I switch from my MacBook Pro to the iPad. Stage manager runs smooth and fine. Same main cameras back and front without the extra wide angle support, not much difference. 120 hz vs 60 hz, can't really notice it. I have a Surface Pro with 120Hz. But Studio Display anyways only can use 60hz. Almost identical to the pro for half of the price. I think it was a wise choice from me to buy this. :) Apple made a big mistake to put M1 in there, but I am really happy about it. 64gb is the catch, but is really manageable. I have all the iWork suite, all the kind of GTAs, Baldur Gates, etc, Genshin Impact, lots of productivity apps, Swift Playgrounds and I have still 10gb free. Of course, I can't just put all the apps I have ever purchased before in there, but all that I am regularly using and even more. I think this is really pro territory.

My choice was very simple. My priorities were to have a mobile device with incredible efficiency to make pro WORK on it. So at least an M1 was necessary. Then I needed more GB than 128, so 256 was a must. That's it. Everything else are bells and whistles. And adding to the fact that I live in Colombia and the price bumps are around 20% of its original price, then the iPad Air is my sweet spot. Also 256GB makes it even MORE future proof. There is a market for professionals who want the iPad Air. 120Hz refresh rate, a camera I'm never going to use and the speakers are irrelevant features that are absolutely not worth the price bump. The only thing that will make me get a Pro is if I have money to burn or if I need more than 256GB.

In Canada… 10 years ago I bought an iPad 4 cellular 64 Gig (and I soon ran out of space). I had paid around 1000$ with a case, a smart cover, a glass protector, warranty and taxes included. And at the time, no pencil or external keyboard, etc. Now the iPad Air 5 starts at 799$ and it jumps another 200$ for 256 Gig and another 200$ for the cellular model. Oups ! We must add 15% tax to the total. So a 256 Gig cellular iPad Air 5 will cost you 1380$. Still have to get glass protector, some kind of smart cover at minimum, a pencil and maybe a keyboard and a mouse! An iPad Pro 11 M2 basic is 1099$. A 256 gig 1229$ plus cellular 1429$ plus tax equal 1645$ Can. A 265$ difference. The difference isn’t that big. But let’s consider inflation. That 1000$ I paid in 2012 would be 1250$ in 2022 money…. It’s impossible to buy a new M1 Ipad Air or even the IPad 10 and all the accessories for that price. Finally, my conclusion… Apple is making us pay more and more… Probably twice as much as we did pay in 2012!😉 (ps..I’m curious about the % of taxes in other countries) Oh! I almost forgot… I love your videos and what a voice you have! Very pleasant to listen.

Everything about it is amazing, from the moment you pick it up and feel how insanely thin and light it is, to the typing experience and 120hz. It makes doing everyday tasks genuinely fun. I think if you aren’t serious about using your iPad, the Air 5 is fine. However, as a person who uses their iPad as their laptop, the pro was well worth it. Not to mention the extra headspace and future-proofing that comes with the M2 and extra storage! Plan on keeping this device for 5+ years :)

The deal is on again for today only but they are out of the 128gb version for shipping unless you can find one locally. Other memory configurations are on sale. Just like to add that if you can find the M1 version of the iPad pro it's a great alternative as well. Thanks for another informative video!

I completely agree that the M1 version of the iPad Pro is a great option (especially at that price!!!)

I have been using a second hand Ipad Pro 12.9 1st gen! (2015) for the past 5 years (so it's 8 years old this year) and will just get an M2 Ipad Pro 11" - for me I just like that I can keep using the same device for soooo many years, I could still put years into the old one probably (dad will use it actually) it's just that I got the new one as a present. To me buying the pro years ago and now choosing the pro meant that I can use it 5+ years. I never minded using something "outdated" if it's ain't broke don't get a new one is my motto. (I mainly use the ipad as a student, the 12.9" was a bit big but in the first years it was a laptop replacement, now I have a good laptop I am very comfortable getting a smaller iPad)

@MissionControlTet Жыл бұрын

Rather than debating 256GB Air or 128GB Pro, we should look upon the-discontinued M1 iPad Pro from third parties. With only few extra bucks over same configuration Air, you get essentially M2 iPad Pro minus the Hover feature. That makes it more worth for your buck than M1 Air or M2 Pro.

Prices in the UK: iPad Pro 900 GB Pounds, iPad Air 670 GB Pounds - a difference of 230 GBP. Those prices include tax (VAT) - all quoted prices for consumers must include VAT. (Businesses must pay VAT but if they’re “registered for VAT” they can reclaim the VAT they’ve paid.) Broadly speaking, it’s not possible to buy anything without paying the VAT.

i bought the 11 inch m2 iPad pro the day after it came out in my country which is one month later than when it actually came out in the US, it costed 23,999,000 ( twenty three millions nine hundreds and ninety nine đồng). i upgraded from an iPad air 2 just to draw on it and got to say, i like the pen feel better than the 16inch Wacom which is too coarse imo. when i first got it, the speed amazed me. It set me back a lot since i paid for it up front but it was worth it since i plan to use it until it is no longer working ( the iPad air 2 is still going strong and on its 3rd battery ). Despite the battery capacity not being that big, the thing last a whole day even if i play some ark mobile which the iPad air 2 can only play for about 3 hours straight when i first bought it. To conclude, i really like it and if you have the choice, buy it and know that apple support is great and their hardware is top notch.

I live in New Zealand, where the baseline pro starts at $1,649NZD(around 1,050 USD) and the air starts at 1,179 NZD(750 USD), and the standard 10th gen is 878 NZD(559 USD). Such a shame, but it won't stop me from buying one of them- maybe even an ipad air 4 because theyre around 800 nzd, and do the same as an ipad 10th gen

I might have made a mistake. I have an ipad air 5 256gb in the mail because 64gb shouldn't even be an option for todays standards. should start at 128 at a minimum. I also didn't realize there was an 11" pro option. Got it on sale but they are also having a sale on the pro which is only $80 more but 128gb vs 256. I think I could get away with 128gig and the small jump in price is worth the extras you get with the pro. Might have to just order the pro and return the air. This is how apple gets you though. they make it to where you have to spend more money, even if it's just a little more. It's always a win win for them
