Hi Miss Books - I'm so glad you found this video! Thats great you kept the box so you can return! I know what you mean, it also took me playing with the 11 inch to know 12.9 was meant for me (& allow me to not have any fomo lol) Hope you love your new ipad!

Can you give us an update please

Sooo what did you get

Thank you JP! I love this feedback and glad it was useful you :) stay tune more to come ~ about to push out a review on Apple Watch, love to get your thoughts on that review too!

@@EggsandPotatoe I’ll be watching and waiting.

@@jpshipwash6240 new Apple Watch video is now out 😊 love to get your thoughts if it’s useful for folks deciding on getting one (& hope u r enjoying your Super Bowl Sunday!) video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grSCfrVzmtyyfKs.html

@@EggsandPotatoe My daughter, a nurse, gifted me one a couple of years ago. I’m 70, I’ve had a triple bypass, and I’m diabetic. I don’t wear it because of all the bad news it sends. 😁

@@jpshipwash6240 what a great daughter you have JP! lol i know what you mean sometimes these watch notifications can make people worry necessarily too. but glad the ipad has been useful for you!

Thank dylkim~! this comment makes me want to make more videos

Thank you! :) also able to save $

Thank you @onlywithvic!

Thank you! Glad it was helpful :)

100% agree with you Ian! same here, i ended up loving the 12.9

Agreed the cellular version is a cheat code

Bro I am a college student which one should I buy I have to carry in bagpack use cases are watching movies classes and playing games reading books I want to take 12.9 but budget is also with me but I have read articles they tell 12.9 is much heavier difficult to handle and etc please reply 😢

@@anurag-kz7df I’ve heard that the 12.9” is not heavy to carry, but uncomfortable. I do not have the 12.9” just yet, but I do plan on buying it. If you do things like play games, read, watch movies and videos, and you need to have that bigger space, get the 12.9”. If portability matters and you want to have a tablet that is much easier to carry, I suggest the iPad Air 5th generation. If you want to go for a pro version and care about portability, then I suggest getting the iPad Pro 11”. If you do not care about all kinds of specifics when it comes to technology, I suggest you get the iPad Air 5th generation or the iPad Pro 11”. But, I suggest you get the iPad Air 5th Generation if budget is a thing for you. If you want to save, but also want a pro version, then I suggest you get the iPad Pro 11”. Everyone is different. Some people who don’t take notes have the ipad 12.9” because they want a bigger screen and they don’t have issue with portability. I’ve heard some people say that the iPad Pro 12.9” is just uncomfortable at times..

@@adriannanorwood ok bro

Thanks Trina - glad it was helpful for you! When I first got mine 12.9 I was not sure if I would like it cuz of the size , but I have been in love since and can never go back to smaller ipad :) Hope you'll love yours!

Thank you Charles! glad you tuned in~

Thank you so much hxope!

yay !

yay - glad you enjoyed it!

so happy to hear this review was helpful to you ~ yas when I was debating if the 12.9 was right for me I thought of the same thing where I wanna get review from people with similar build to me :) Lmk how you end up liking the 12.9 cheers!

yas i’m with you 100%! 😄 glad to hear you love it too Heba!

aw thank you for clicking on the video and watching ☺️ yes i’m still in love with the larger 12.9 one, use it on a daily!

LOVE

so glad to hear Phil! let me know how you like the 12.9! 😄

@@EggsandPotatoe Just bought my 12.9!! I initially bought the 11 inch even after watching your vid because of the portability and the price, but I quickly realized you were right, and I just picked up the 12.9!! No regrets!!

Thanks Aubrey!🙂Yes the 12.9 is such a good change from the laptop, while still allowing you to be super productive on it! Most of my best ideas and planning happens on the 12.9 first, then I transfer to the laptop when I'm ready to execute on the ideas/plans (usually they are things like documents, slides, heavy video editing, etc.). But ipad wins for being the 'Fun' device, as when i hold it I feel joy (meanwhile opening my work laptop makes me feel drain lol). Yayy petite besties! (im thinking about doing a review on the Apple Watch Ultra - which would be hugeee looking for people like us lol)

Thank you @din0saut367! glad your enjoyed the video!

LOL yes team small baby hands! I'm doing a video on the Apple Watch Ultra next... the big watch on our small wrist.. lol stay tuned!

thank you Treal! yes writing space is one of the biggest reason for me to use this daily ~ but never too big for us petite ones 😁

Thank you MultiMat90~

Thank you Kemmieey! Glad it was helpful 😊

@@EggsandPotatoe for drawing, should i get the 12.9 inch or the 11 inch? Im using one to draw and I feel like I would want a bigger space.. but its a bit more out of my parents budget especially when i need to get the apple pencil T~T help me...

@@sunnyxp4681 for drawing 12.9 would be wonderful! but def can make 11 work too, esp when you get used to it. You should try both, can always return one before the return date ;)

@@EggsandPotatoe yeah :') I used to draw with a small samsung tablet with my fingers. It was slightly smaller than the ipad mini but i still made great art on it tho :D so either one would be more than enough

Thank you Mohammad! 😄 Glad to hear it was helpful!

@@EggsandPotatoe It was super helpful, and I just got my Ipad 12.9. I am very happy. Thanks a million to save my time and my potential future productivity ❤️

Amazing~! totally can relate

Thank you so much - means a lot to me

Thank you Thomas - love your comment! This made me want to make more videos - stay tuned, more to come!

Thank you @Geyzson! happy to hear you watched the previous videos to compare :) I just posted a new Apple Watch review video today. Curious to get your thoughts on that one too! Here it is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grSCfrVzmtyyfKs.html

LOL

Thank you DhampireGirl12!

I'm with you! You might like the 12.9 more for those reasons :) my rec. is if you have the funds, try both out (return one & try another size and decide which one you want to keep!)

thank you Cheq! love your positivity - stay tuned, more to come 😄

Thank you Umang!

Great idea! Stay tuned, might just do this vlog :)

Thank you - love your comment :)

Yess totally agree! I still use it everyday and it is a huge part of my productivity & almost for every single one of my projects and ideas, I start with the iPad :) dont think I can function without it now

Can you please clear one doubt. I continuously use goodnotes 5 app and I find the draining faster. Is it normal? Does goodnotes 5 app drain the battery fast?

Thank you Ada! glad it helped you decide~

thanks asta - glad this helps!

Thanks for watching!

yes def much lighter than an average laptop, i love travailing with the ipad 12.9!

glad to hear 💕

Thank you @squatzilla! yes for notes app, i am using goodnotes as one of them. To share screen on my mac, I use QuickTime Player and use the 'new movie recording' to share the ipad screen on the mac. That way, when I am video conferencing, i can share the either just the QuickTime Player to share my ipad screen or I can share my entire screen if I have to show multi apps during work. Lmk if you have other questions!

Hi Kay, great question! If you use iphone 90% of time & only use laptop for very quick use of word & excel then I would vote for the ipad for sure. I only jump to my laptop if I need to type A LOT or I need to create a bunch of slides. But for minor typing and slides or excel creation, I still like the ipad to do that - esp the 12.9! My newest video talks about how I feel about using ipad for typing & docs kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q-Bne7x_3bqscnk.html Check it out :)

love this - thank you!

thank you Michael! glad to hear 😄

Hi August, that is such a good suggestion!! Stay tuned for the 'Is it still worth it' video! :D

☺️ thank you Frances

totally agree!

I wanna do both, I will use the iPad as a laptop with the magic keyboard, but also for not taking. I will go to the university next year.

Thank you

O yaass me you same same, small hands but in love with our iPad Pro 12.9 m1 👯

@@EggsandPotatoe my old iPad Pro 1st generation has been replaced by my new iPad Pro M1 12.9 space gray model because is much better and fastest than my old iPad Pro 1st generation is slow and freeze sometimes even my old iPad Pro 1st generation is already broken , it doesn’t work anymore because of the messed up battery

@@EggsandPotatoe and is the honeymoon still the same today for the 12.9 ?

@@vict2805 yesss still loving the 12.9 and still don’t think i can ever go back to 11 inch. i’m waiting for the next ipad pro and will still get the bigger screen one ☺️

@@EggsandPotatoe wow, How big is the next ipad pro And when ? 😊

i agree, when it comes to heavy duty work, i use laptop/monitor too to crank things out (esp when i build slides for work)

@@EggsandPotatoe even with note taking, obviously the bigger the screen the better, since you might need to look at several materials (my materials are all in soft copy) plus your note at the same time. I think I only use ipad for ebook reading, photo browsing and some casual games

hahah yes 100%

Thanks @akwebe04!

If the iPad will be your go to with no computer, 12.9 might be better since the extra space might make you want to stay on it more to do more (for me, I like to use the 12.9 more than the 11 inch). Lmk what you end up getting and how you like it!

😅 good question - i wish i knew how to play Genshin Impact

Hi @aliciapark6241 sure happy to help! For carrying the 12.9, I usually take it with me via my backpack where I put the ipad and my laptop, pretty easier to carry around. When I walk around, since i dont put a case on my ipad, it is very light and easy to carry around for me (but i would be extra careful if I am walking on hard floors). I think it can bend with lots of force, but not via natural use. Mine has not bend, however, i do have small dents by dropping and hitting objects in my room like chair legs, etc. Writing with my hand resting on screen has not bothered me. and for paper size, I think for the notes app you use, you can choose what type of 'paper size' you want, but i haven't compare the screen to real paper yet, but you can prob find out by looking up the measurement online. hope this helps!

i got the 128 gb, and is a good size for me since i mainly take notes. If you like creating bigger files and have everything saved in the ipad, then the bigger sizes could be easier to manage!

@@EggsandPotatoe I did purchase my iPad 12.9 512GB. I’m absolutely in love either way it. Your video did help with my decision making.

any time!

Thank you Linh~

ahh in that case, I would keep the Air 4th if you mainly use it for entertainment. Personally I can't really tell the difference for air 4th and 11 pro for normal browsing/entertainment use

though i did not get the iPad magic keyboard, i do have the detached magic keyboard and mouse for macbook :) Since we still cannot use iPad like a regular laptop out of the box quite yet with the apps limitation, i prefer to use the iPad as is (without physical keyboard most of the time unless i’m planning on typing a lot)

The storage really depends on what you will use your iPad for. But considering the relative price of the 256Gb upgrade to the price of the 12.9 iPad, it might be worth it to upgrade. Keep in mind that this iPad is compatible with external hard drives if you do opt for the 128Gb.

good question! even though 12.9 is not most portable, i usually carry it around without a case if i’m in doors (&in my bag if outdoors) so it is not too heavy for me. it depends what is more important for you, portability or use 🙃 since i don’t walk around with my ipad too much and i want to get more done, 12.9 was an easy winner for me. and 128gb is working well for me since most of my digital notes are saved in the cloud. but if you plan on saving lots on your device the next gb up doesn’t hurt too 😄 battery life is quite good, i usually do charge it the morning cuz i use the ipad to watch youtube at night to fall sleep so i use up at least half battery each day

@@hyrise76 so true about the external hard drives , makes it so easy 🙃

@@EggsandPotatoe Thank you very much for your responses. I bought 12.9 iPad Pro 128GB. I'm glad I bought a large size, the screen is great. It is not difficult to carry. I made the right choice and I am very happy. i love your battery because i only charge it at night but at the end of the day the battery is still half full that's great ! ❤️👍🏻😋🥳🥳

for the 12.9 i got the 128gb (thinking about upgrading to 256), the ipad air i got the base model 64

Have to make sure it is on in settings

usually it works once you play the video and swipe up from the bottom (like you would when you are trying to go back to the home screen - you do want to make sure that you pressed ‘play’ for the video before you do this). if it doesn’t work - there might be some setting that you might need to do first or make sure you have the latest version of the app and your ipad is up to date. it just started working for me one day years ago

Aw I see. It doesn't work for me on KZfaq so that's a bummer!

nice review Anh! For handheld yes i totally agree smaller is the way to go!

The 12.9 from 2018 is the same size as a full sheet of paper. It’s great!

This is such a good question - If you like taking notes on the go, unless you are able to drive to your destination or your commute is super safe, I'm not sure I would rec. taking ipad with you all the time on the go. (esp with the 12.9 inch, unless you have big hands cuz it is harder to hold at times) E.g., I usually take notes with the ipad when I'm at home. As much as I would love to take my ipad 12.9 to the office to take notes, I don't because I don't feel safe having an ipad on me while on public transit for both safety and I might crack it by bumping it to places (I don't use a case lol).

This is very true, I feel like 12.9 feels better than writing on paper cuz is so easy to erase/edit & have an infinite loop of papers!

Thank you @JonHizon!!

Yass :) you and me both! I just did a 6+ months ipad 12.9 update :) in case it's interesting to you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q-Bne7x_3bqscnk.html

From ikea :) link in description on where you can buy it!

I was using GoodNotes in the video. but I also like using CollaNote (free) and Notability if you like voice recording while you take notes :)

I have same iPad pro 12.9 inch. I continuously use goodnotes 5 but I think my battery is draining fast. Will you please tell is it normal. I continuously use goodnotes for 4 to 5 hours and battery drains from 100 percentage to 40. Is it ok or any issue

Thanks Joe! :) What's PiP again?

@@EggsandPotatoe Picture in Picture mode! I noticed you had a miniature sized KZfaq video playing at one point.

@@mcjedwardsOh! it works once you pressed play on the video and then swipe up (like you would when you are trying to go back to the home screen of your ipad) then it would automatically be in PiP. you do need to make sure you pressed play on the video first and also make sure your youtube app is up to date and same with your ipad. This worked for me a while ago automatically

Hi Devilla, no worries at all! Some of the applications are free (some comes with the ipad and some you can download for free via iTunes), Some of them I do pay for it like the notes app that I use (e.g., GoodNotes). When you click on the iTunes app to search for other apps you are interested in, it tells you if they are free or how much they cost :) hope this helps!

good question i think around 4 inches, pretty tiny 🖐️

That's a good question! Since I don't play much games on the ipad I may not be the best to comment :) but based on the size, if you play by holding the ipad for the game, I think the smaller size might be more comfortable to hold. But if you plan on using a controller to play then I think the bigger size display, color and everything is much better!

Hi Kiki, depends how much you use storage on the ipad. For me, it has been good with the 128gb since I don't take too many photos or videos on the ipad. When I do edit videos on my ipad or take lots of notes, i have been good with the 128gb since it still gave me enough storage to easily sync files across devices & take bunch of notes without worrying space. But if you plan on downloading lots of files or saving your work on the ipad, then more gb could be better so you don't have to mange storage too often.

Thank youuu - yes 11 inch rocks too so easy to hold

@@EggsandPotatoe actually i prefer the 12 inch i just went with 11 inch because i got it for 500 new on sale.

Same

If you plan are taking heavy notes & multi task, 12.9 is good since it gives you a big space to write and draw out the things you need. As long as you have a desk or a ipad stand, you can take notes anywhere with the 12.9. But if you plan on running around a lot and take notes while standing up then I think smaller is more portable.

I use my ipad almost always on weekends and evenings. It is my go to for my personal entertainment and personal projects. It gives me joy to use the laptop instead of laptop (laptop reminds me of work, while ipad makes me feel like i'm having fun). But for work work like for building slides or writing essays, then I would use my laptop

I love this question @relaxing vibes - I'm thinking about doing a video for this comparison. Will keep you posted if I do!

@@EggsandPotatoe looking forward to it

Hi Jason - I still do not use a case on my 12.9 til this day lol so for me it is pretty light and easy to carry around the house. But 12.9 overall is not the most comfortable to hold if you plan on using it while holding it. I usually put it down on a table or on my ikea stand whenever I use around the home

I jut QuickTime Player, use the Movie selection and select your ipad to share your screen

@@EggsandPotatoe thanks!!

ipad 12.9 is amazing for art 🎨🖌️

@@EggsandPotatoe thank you. I've decided this is the one I'm gonna save up for.

what did you end up deciding on? 😄

I chose the 11 inch

hi Judy - i first connect my ipad to my mac via wire connector then i use QuickTime with the ‘new movie recording’ option you can then select to pair with your ipad. from there i use my notes app to write. so when i share my whole screen, people can see what i’m writing in my note pad. I’ll prob will create a video on how i use my ipad pro for work from home, stay tuned! 😄

Do you think if I go for the iPad Pro 11 or 12,9 from 2018 it wil be good for school? I’m a little scared cause it’s one from 2018.

yay~

@Oliwaaa Good question - I think it depends what matter most to you, size/space or specs, etc. If you care more for space then yes def worth it. If you care more for specs/speed, etc. than not sure since I have not played with the 2018 one to know the difference. But I'm sure its still great!

Hi :) For me it is more than enough but I mainly take notes and draw simple things without too many illustrations. So might depend on how often and how big of files you typically do illustrations & digital arts

totally agree the smaller size would be great for restaurants, food truck and portable needs! :)
