Glad to hear it. I just ordered my M4 11inch iPad Pro and traded my M1 12.9 iPad Pro . The M1 12.9 with the keyboard is just to awkward and heavy.

@@hvailjr i agree 100%, this is way more portable

This is the exact upgrade I’m looking at doing. Sounds like almost everyone that has made this trade are pretty happy.

@@Meg_Duffy 10/10 would recommend

It’s so funny I did the same but now im strongly considering using my iPad as my main device and not sure if it’s large enough. It feels like it now but at one point you would think it’s a hindrance.

Interesting.

Do you do anything on your iPad that cant be done on an iPhone? Like I get that the screen is bigger and that helps, but fundamentally is there anything that an iPhone cant do that you need? I guess what I'm saying is, another way to interpret your statement is that MOST people dont need a laptop. If they can replace their laptop with an iPad, then the smart phone in their pocket is probably already more computer than they need and they simply need a bigger more useful screen to put it on.

@@MoChuang343 Stage Manager, Keyboard and the Apple Pencil are what differentiates the iPad from the iPhone for me (screen aside). Stage manager is actually quite good. I hope Apple allows us to create presets of our window configurations, that would go a long way. This allows me to seamlessly float between apps either in a semi full screen fashion or in a split screen view. I’m not sure stage manager gets the credit it deserves. It’s more functional than a lot give it credit for. The keyboard basically transforms the iPad into a laptop-like configuration. The keyboard shortcuts are extremely helpful. I basically never need to touch the screen when this accessory is attached. I do sometimes forget that I’m not on a MacBook when sucked into work and using an app. The Apple Pencil allows me to annotate work, draw out proof of concept sketches for new logistical deployments, and of course, sign/fill out documents. Although the iPad seems like it would be “just a large iPhone”. Each device clearly has its own use. The icing on the cake is, for lightweight tasks, such as emailing or chatting on the go, querying, or doing that “quick thing”, the iPhone is a wonderful companion to my work life, as…you have pointed out, they are so similar.

@@JerryGonzalez Cool thanks for sharing. My iPad isnt Pro which is probably why it feels like a big iPhone to me. I could never switch to an iPad though. At least not yet. I'm not in charge of anything. I work in academic science and I have to use what ever system is compatible with the professors I am working with. Maybe when I become a professor myself, I can move myself and everyone who works for me to cloud-based applications instead. Do you think being an exec allows you the freedom to dictate how you work? I imagine you still work for someone above you right? Is there ever any friction where they want something that simply doesnt work on an iPad? I tried to daily drive Linux. I got about a year into it until I started working on a paper that used EndNote as the reference manager which is Mac/Win only. Converting between a Linux compatible reference Library and back wasnt impossible but it was adding friction to the project and I dont have the authority to justify slowing down a professor for my own tech curiosity.

No it cant. Want proof. Try installing a game in the background on ipad. wont happen. you have to leave the app open at all times. that is nothing like a laptop where you can simply minimize.

bang for the buck

You will get an identical experience to the M4 Pro version. Well done on using your money wisely bro

Good investment bro 😎

Have had the 10th gen iPad since release. Logi Crayon and ComboTouch keyboard. Love it. Does 100% of what I need at home and on the road. Great choice>

I have a 5th gen iPad. If I were to get a new one it would be the 10th gen iPad, but I wont be getting a new iPad. I was hoping my iPad would be more than a media machine but iPadOS is just no good for me. The mouse support, the files app, windowing, so many things just dont work for me. I switched to a Chromebook that was cheaper and slower than my iPad, but the OS lets me do everything I want. Its not as nice of an experience watching TV on it. But I'd rather have a device that can do more things even if it does them slower and not as pretty.

This pisses me off every year too, there’s so many people who keep asking for a mini pro but they continue to neglect it and minimally upgrade it every 4-5 years…. It’s infuriating.

​@@lotzosushiunfortunately KZfaq comments don't actually represent the grander market of sales Apple doesn't update the product because it doesn't sell that well so there's no reason for them to update it very often it's the least selling iPad of the lineup regardless of KZfaq comments seeming like people want it

I went from Mini 4 to Mini 6. Glad I did because it went up $100 AU in price and it still has not been updated after nearly 3 years. Just realised, iPad Mini 6 witnessed 3 generations of iPad Air and iPad Pro 🫤

@@The_MEMEphis Well that's the thing though, is it seems well overpriced for what it is.. I mean yeah, its more powerful than the 9th/10th gen iPads, but it's basically just a smaller iPad Air and should've been priced in between the entry level and Air lines... I feel like many people considering a mini looked at the price and decided to pop for the bigger screened Air which is often on sale for the same or less. I absolutely love my new OLED iPad Pro BUT, if Apple took this thing and shrank it down to mini size, I'd switch in a heart beat even if the pricing was close - But I doubt that will ever happen lol. Between the iPhone and the new iPad (and MiniLED on the MacBook Pro), I just can't go back to normal LCDs nowadays lol.

11 oder 13?

@@simon603 13 🙂

That’s how I am. I can use my iPad more compared to my MacBook plus my MacBook is kind of outdated. I want to get an Apple Silicon Mac, but I don’t have the funds. I am looking to get the 15 inch MacBook Air at some point.

Ok so you basically have an overpriced X-terminal now 😂

The sound keeps moving from L to R with every head movement

@@kuldar yeah

Dang I normally set the audio to mono and definitely forgot to do that this week.

@@TheEverydayDad happens, trust 😂

That's why I would like to WWDC to address this. I do hope they shake up the way this cycle goes though. We have this powerful new system that is sold off the promise of stuff coming later. New strong iPad, wait for WWDC to see what the "potential" can be and then wait for the beta period to end for it to go full release. Then we see what they hit and what they didn't.

I wouldn’t bet on it. Or in the unlikely case they change that approach for the iPad Pros, they will very likely introduce some absolutely ridiculous and pathetic limitations that will render it useless.

yes please!

Agree about the sound. I'm using a headset and it drives me nuts when the voice keeps moving left to right as you move around and face left and right.

I think he is referring to the fact the Davinci is limited on iOS. Only cut page etc. Photoshop is limited too. For now anyway.

​@ClevelandTerry I heard that Photoshop is extremely limited due to the hardware limitations of the iPad. I doubt Adobe is going to make a different version with less limitations for each iPad Pro.

@@ClevelandTerryYou can actually access the other pages in DaVinci. They’re not enabled by default, but they are there.

This is 💯 accurate!

That would be for the Nano Textured screen

you knew what they meant. Device. A product they designed with many engineers etc. Not ordered from somewhere like cloth and stickers.

@@PSy84 i totally misread the comment. so they would be correct haha.

This joke is getting a bit long in the tooth

No - The old Magic Keyboard does not work with the m4 iPad Pro, and the new Magic Keyboard does not work with the old iPad Pro’s.

It doesn’t but trust me its so much better

Tbf it’s Apple themselves that say it is. They really shouldn’t and I agree with you, but Apple is the one to blame for presenting it as a laptop replacement.

@@sidequest_studio I’ve only heard Apple call it a computer. They actually called it a laptop replacement?

@@sharonb.9128 are you seriously pretending that laptops are not synonymous with the term computer?

@@Crazyblox dead serious. Especially when the Raspberry Pi and gaming devices are commonly considered to be computers.

Haha and it’s the reason for why I subscribed…

Let me know how it runs! I’m thinking of buying a used 12.9” iPad M2, would be nice to be able to do some gaming on it.

I agree with this.

Ive felt the same way man. I have the last gen iPad Pro and it’s only a mm thicker. Thats it. It’s not exactly like I’m carrying a brick here. Any slimmer and i won’t even notice it

My gosh is right.. it made downsize to the 11 but now with it being so thin 13 sounds good again…. KINDA

@@Ghost-jy9hk Yep, that millimeter is absolutely impossible to live with. A whole week of tech reviewers telling us that 22 grams and a millimeter, are almost impossible to move on a backpack.
