Definitely this is a review of how to actually use it. I couldn't finish iJustine's video review as it sounds like an ad and not showing what work can actually be done.

So true, this guy is the iPad master. He uses it all the time so he knows every single detail on using the iPad. Most deserved review.

@@chewbacca90210 Yeah but iJustine is soooo much nicer to look at! :) I don't watch her to get any product info out of the experience lol

Seriously! iPad is my favorite Apple device, it’s what I use the most, and I’ve definitely gotten the feeling from many reviewers that they’re just not iPad people. I appreciate this review a lot!

@@chewbacca90210 typical of her videos.

Thank you so much, that means a lot coming from you!! 😄

i must applaud Snazzy labs for this reply.

This man actually uses the ipad instead of just gushing about features.

I'm here from Snazzy's tweet, thanks for the link!

Gizmodo straight up said “it’s pretty but it’s still not a MacBook” 😭 Quinn your review was also exceptional in technical regard

I actually think they did a great job with the oled panel with extra brightness and more slimmer design the battery still gives the same backup

His videos always go deep. This guy is one of KZfaq’s finest.

Maybe they needed to keep battery weight down so that they could retain the cantilever on the keyboard stand as well as including a function row. Will be really annoying if the next version doesn’t take advantage of chip improvements to increase the battery life.

Still have the Ford hat, but I got a hair cut.

Would have actually prefered to the iPad Pro maybe be just a tad thicker and get extra battery life and maybe save the slim thin for the iPad Air - actually named air

It felt a bit weird considering Paperlike was the sponsor, to be honest… 🫣

Why didn't Apple make paperlike unnecessary by engineering a better pencil rather than throw more haptics at us. People are switching to remarkable for a more natural writing experience.

@@tomsop Presumably became some people like the current experience and for those who don't they can just add something like paperlike? Harder to go the other way around. I think a lot of the people who use a remarkable are using it largely to get away from a device with apps and an internet connection.

​@@tomsop thanks for letting us know you either work or simp for remarkable. An iPad is a complete computer. A Remarkable is a glorified legal pad.

Yes. Was glad to hear that clarification even though I don’t use Paperlike. Been thinking about trying it since I preferred the feel of my Surface Pen on my Surface Laptop Studio.

Awesome, I hope you enjoy the video!

did you get the nano texture?

@@lifeofmisschar no! I didn't enjoy the washed out color and don't work outdoors or with lots of light sources. Also, I was going to use a screen protector on it so no point really

No, thank you! 😎

Thank you!!

My pleasure!

Thank you!

That’s wild to hear, thank you!

Well wait no more!

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Thanks dude!

Thank you!!

Thank you!!

I hope you enjoy it!

@@catherineh6470 what do you mean with regular glass? Isn’t the terabyte version with the matted glass?

why aren’t you waiting for wwdc next month to at least be sure iPad OS will get the updates it needs in order to even begin to replace a laptop? I’m saying this considering how much an iPad Pro costs. The price tag makes it a huge gamble right now, since it is not even close to the convenience of a MacBook Air in terms of portability vs capability and ease of use. A MacBook Air is far more complete, can perform heavier tasks when needed and has an overall better OS (well… iPad OS is the worst in the Apple lineup so it was kind of an easy comparison). I own both the devices you mentioned (MacBook Pro M3 Pro and iPad Pro M1, 11” sold for a swap with 12.9” M1) and I know for a fact the iPad can’t replace the MacBook even for a non-developer or non-pro user. That makes me curious, so I’m going to ask, if you don’t mind. Do you have a desktop? That would absolutely explain everything and I’d probably be on board with the portable experience of an iPad over that of a MacBook, but only if there was a proper desktop waiting at home, if you know what I mean. Just curious, that’s it

​@@jack_2612 i have a work computer provided by work for work stuff, always have and always will in my line of work. Not concerned with the price. I dislike to say that as it comes off a certain type of way but fortunately for me im fortunate enough that this can be a toy if i want it to be. (i bought my 11" pro outright plus all accessories, no financing needed) I have also edited drone video professionally on an ipad pro in the past using lumafusion so i know for any hobby i get into that im interested in, the ipad pro is enough. my personal computing needs are shopping, reading, banking, budgeting, investing, lite video editing, streaming content, listening to music, and communication. my phone technically does all that. If the iphone had PROPER external display support, proper screen orientation for external display and springboard, and keyboard/mouse support, id just TB4 into a monitor or tv and use that as my ONLY personal device. there is nothing wrong with waiting, or buying now if it suits your needs. WWDC will be here next month and new software in september. I want to watch youtube on a portable OLED screen while eating breakfast before work now though :) Again, its really all about your needs and what you do. The iPad is an extremely capable device, it requires thinking about the programs as touch first, and sometimes a workaround through a shortcut or multiple apps to do what one can. There are plenty of great apps and cross compatible apps, ( drafts, Ferrite, notes, photos, Things, web versions of google docs, sheets, slides through safari, Lumafusion, FCP, Affinity Photo/Designer, Procreate, PsPortal, Xbox Game Pass) These are some apps I use and free me from needing a desktop, or laptop in my personal life. Add in Zoom and this would even be enough for me to do my work professionally. Whatever works for you! Christopher has great content on his channel that goes over using the iPad as a main device and if you're ready willing and able, try going iPad only for a day or two and see how you like it.

@@jack_2612 What are you doing on your mac that you can't on your iPad pro? Especially as a non coder and even as a coder there are work arounds.

@@unbornG4 why would I want a workaround just to use a device that is double the price of a base MacBook Air? Anyway, the iPad is just Netflix and notes in uni. Ok the MacBook I do everything else, from notes to assignments to research to watching twitch and yt, browsing and even some gaming. I bought the M3 Pro because I had an Air and I did not see a way I could last 5-6 years with it, but I wanted a Mac that could last me that long. Plus, I can’t stand 60hz anymore and the Apple pricing for upgrades is… well you know. So by the time I spec up a 15” Air to have 512 and 16 gigs of ssd and ram respectively, while getting the base core upgrade to 10 if I’m not mistaken, well I’m already well over 2k by miles. I live in Italy, which means the markup I get… I get it on every single upgrade, not just on the device itself. An iPad Pro 13” for example is 1600 euros. Now, I won’t go into detail about how iPadOS is nothing like having a full desktop OS, but just for giving an example I recently took an English certification exam and if I didn’t have a MacBook I could not have taken it remotely from home. The iPad was specifically listed, ironically, as an example of non-compatible device for the exam. It’s a niche case, but throughout uni I’ve had plenty of problems when I was trying to go iPad-only and it felt like I was trying too hard to do something that didn’t make sense trying to. Like… getting a MacBook is way cheaper and is way better in any way, so yh I have an iPad for the Apple Pencil and for that it’s great, but for even the most basic computing or multitasking it’s trash. In conclusion, before you jump at me about the “not needing a MacBook Pro”, you’re right. I don’t specifically need it. I’ll be studying in a Master program starting in September and I will be learning coding, data management and so on and I will work in IT in the future, so I’d rather have a device I can afford now (quitting my job in September so I won’t be able to afford it down the line, not immediately at least) and keep it for 5-6 years instead of settling for an Air. On top of that, as I said, a 15” specced up would have been as expensive as MacBook Pro. So yh, that’s my reasoning about the whole iPad thing. At least for now, maybe wwdc will change everything lol

@@jack_2612iPad may not work for you. But it works for many others including the creator of this channel who is an iPad primary and only device user. Also, I and many others can afford the iPad as a toy even in 1tb configs with 2000 plus price tags and all accessories paid upfront. Apple is seen as a luxary brand. Not everyone who has a car has a Mercedes, Lexus, bmw etc. I can use iPad as my Main primary and only device both professionally and personally. Or it can be a toy. Same as a MacBook. It’s all about what you do. Everyone has the choice to buy whatever devices they want for wherever their use cases are. Some people can afford whatever they want. Others are on a budget. Apple has something for everyone. Use what’s right for you and be happy you have something that works for the tasks you need it for. Enjoy your devices. 5-6 years is always going to be tough to keep any device. There will be something newer and better every year. Just be happy with your choice and enjoy the device. Upgrade as needed or desired depending on finances and value and have fun.

This is pretty much the same for me. However, I’ve now offloaded my astrophotography stacking (PixInsight) to a beefed up Mini PC and just RDP to it from my iPad. I also use WireGuard VPN for when I am on the move and want to access mini PC.

Exactly the same problem here. I use my iPad for astrophotography, except it can't run any of the software for Photoshop from RC Astro. That, and the fact that iPad OS doesn't have a calculator when they could just port the iOS calculator is insane to me. The M4 chip would run blisteringly fast with RC Astro's astrophotography add-ons. It's a shame really -- I wish iPad OS would merge with Mac OS the same way Microsoft made Windows 11 designed for desktops or touch screens both.

That is somebody I am honored to be grouped with!
