We've had Apple iPad Pro M4 for a month now. Did it hold up? Was it worth it? Should you buy one? Let's talk about how it actually feels to use every day for a month! A one month later review.
**Update: It looks like ClipStudio updated at the end of May! I'll check it out and update my thoughts in videos in the future (here or on my sub channel, Focused Lines)**

You nailed it! If you like it, buy it. Don’t even listen to other people saying it’s not. I like the new M4 ipad, it comes really close to the term “magical sheet of glass”

yes, and hooked with an Apple Studio Display achieve all my needs. Figma(Figurative), Meetings and Google Office stuff. It seems futuristic and a new way of computing.

The screen color accuracy in reference mode is top tier. It matches my reference monitor that costs 5 times more.

I have exactly the same experience as you. I always take off the folio case because my 13" iPad Pro feels too heavy with it. Also I use it much more often than I used the 12.9" M1 iPad Pro because that one was just too heavy for me. I can't believe there are still people that claim that nobody hoped for a lighter iPad Pro!

Bought one earlier, should arrive tomorrow. Upgrading from a 2018 11 inch Pro to the 11 inch M4. Price was absurd imo, but I plan on keeping it for a long time. Hoping Procreate will update soon so I can try out the new pencil features!

@UnknownUnknown-wj3qb Ай бұрын

I quite like mine. I tried the Pencil Pro, but it felt...strange, when I tried to draw with it. And it's kind of ridiculous to market a feature like barrel roll when no apps have been configured to use it. I ended up returning the Pencil Pro, but I may buy it once barrel roll has been updated.

@suli_xli Ай бұрын

After my GCSEs I’m looking to buy an iPad Pro, and I’m not sure between getting the 13 inch or 11 inch, if I were to get the 11 inch I was wondering if it is worth also getting a monitor so I could use an external keyboard and mouse with the monitor and iPad while at home at my desk, but then I could just use the iPad when I’m at school for example. What do you think? Is there any point also getting a monitor, and should I go 11 inch or 13 inch?

Is the magnet on your Apple Pencil coming out of it? Or is it external damage?

Not sure. The pencil is usually attached to the iPad so I doubt it’s external damage. Presumably the magnets get hot and cause discoloration of the plastic

@lilymirai1346 Ай бұрын

I have M1 Pro and your videos have convinced me that there's been enough improvements and made me excited about the M4, but the Pro's are so expensive that I cannot even imagine to upgrade just after just 3 years. Cannot wait to see what other upgrades they make in these years. I wonder, in the summer does the M4 get too hot while you use it on Clip Studio or other heavy applications? The M1 surely does if it's charging, and the battery doesn't last long enough, so it must be charging. ; - ;

@themightytammos Ай бұрын

I was outside with my 11-inch M4 doing some very normal stuff (web browsing, KZfaq, note taking all with stage manager active). I live in Central Florida so it was quite hot outside to say the least. Thankfully, while it did get fairly hot from being out in the sun, I didn’t notice any thermal throttling or screen dimming which definitely happened on my old iPad. I even had it plugged in for some of that time and it got hot from that, but again no major throttling from what I could tell. Keep in mind I was not using heavy applications, but I’m planning on doing that soon, so I’ll reply to this comment again when I do that

i like the DTTO or other cases which have the surround cubby for the pencil. With cove closed, cubby is covered too. No future flabbiness of fabric or elastic fray. Hands on, ipad mini, liked.

@NihongoGamer Ай бұрын

You can do black and white manga pages on pretty much any iPad that can run the software. If you have clip studio paint and Apple Pencil (available on most models) you do manga. Other apps work too but clipstudio has lots of screen tone features that make it good for that style of publication.

@steveiguana6887 Ай бұрын

IPad isn't running a desktop OS because it would cannibalize Mac sales, not because of cooling problems, not sure why you think that. Macs and iPads use the same silicon and architecture, an iPad could absolutely run macOS just fine. Apple would have to change it a lot to have it scale and be touch compatible for iPad but I don't see that happening. Although it's been a while, I've used Surface devices too (the Surface Pro for and the Surface Studio Book), and I think they're pretty great, but tablet mode on Surface was always meh because of Windows. Ultimately I'd rather have a dedicated tablet plus a Windows laptop (or MacBook) instead of a combo.
