I have this MacBook Pro and editing 1080p footage with LUTs, CG etc. is horrible... Even basic Photoshop editing is not a good experience... so I'm waiting for the new MacBooks on Monday

2015 MBP is the greatest Mac for devs ever if you ask in emerging markets

@@jorrit_o Photoshop is smooth on a 2014 MBA so how could it be horrible on a Pro with a GPU and SSD ?

@@denniskoeman3098 It’s not horrible but compared to the M1 MBA it’s not a good experience working with >30MP photos… very usable, but not great… still a better experience than using it on my 2019 iPad… the 13“ MBP also doesn’t have a dedicated GPU though….

@@jorrit_o Yeah was referring to 15 inches

So true. I’d go full iPad if there was a way to boot macOS for occasional use. Or if iPadOS was treated as seriously as the hardware deserves

100% - using an iPad Pro as a main device is awesome ... until it isn’t. The final straw was when I needed to resize a PDF and print it . I shouldn’t be pinching to resize if I already know the dimensions I need.

iPad OS simply isn’t there as yet. Especially that “mouse” system.

@@dextertittil from what I got from the last few events, there are no plans to get iPadOS there. Apple seems to have it stuck in their head that this is a supplemental device ONLY to be used alongside everything else. Which is fine I guess but only if ur aware of that going in

There is parallels if you really want to have a desktop os on it

😂. Mind = Blown

That’s what I did with my used 2015 MacBook Pro!

How would you do it? I want the stains out...

@@kairumk baby wipes/ wet wipes, theres an acidic solution in most brands (its probably what damaged it in the first place)

@@gfx8391 on my 2013 macbook pro i had, i used some Lysol disinfect wipes. worked like a charm

Dude ur vids are just the same shit you regurgitate over and over

@@sarhan_, your spelling and grammar needs some work.

Great answer, +15 social credit! Your ability to consoom new products from The World's Largest Corporation™️ has qualified you to become an officially compensated Covert Apple Representative. Well done!

@@michaelhall9146 and probably Matt talks tech,there’s some spelling errors like category

Does it run common desktop apps? Can you easily do some budgeting on desktop Excel with a precise trackpad? Does it have a built in backlit keyboard for darker rooms and is it comfortable enough to type long Word documents/assignments on? Can you extend it to an external monitor? Can you move your windows around and multitask in a meaningful way? Do you have a proper file manager? Can you god forbid connect a USB or external drive to it easily? Only one machine here can do that and it is not the iPad.

NO sh***t. These videos are so clicky baity. You could take an m1 mba and a ipad and do the same thing. What people that do not nerd out on geekbench realize that they are the 92% of tech users vs the people that always want it to do more than it does and whine (ok whine is strong) or better word state that they always need more. If that is the case build a custom pc. Most people can use an ipad for what they need. Anyways Monday will be here soon. Let the complaining BEGIN!

@@roguewavecreative if devices are different that should already mean what's the you tuber is gonna say, like you said: it depends

@@roguewavecreative nope, I use the macbook and it's bad. the iPad is much better value

@@savagligorijevic4639 depends, I tried using a iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard as my main computer because I gifted my MacBook Air but the os was trash to be used as a sole device so I sold everything and got an M1 MacBook pro

Well tbf Sidecar is the only reason why I’ll buy an iPad.

And that’s the reason why iPadOS is closer to iOS so that you can buy both.

iPad is far superior for research and reading PDFs and any ebook based work. So definitely they shine in their respective areas. You CAN use the iPad like a netbook for typing and browsing and email, but obviously the ports on a MacBook Pro are superior for what it is also. Both together are the best option. Especially for the base model iPad and a used MacBook Pro. It’s literally cheaper than a new machine, and you get both.

@@ghost-user559 for research I need up to 20 PDFs open at a time and at least 4 on one monitor, so an iPad is typically not feasible with its operating system

@@NFStopsnuf Well for me that is a different phase of research. When I am reading specific text very deeply that is a different step than skimming and comparing 20 sources and compiling a bibliography. But you do have to have a certain workflow and mindset. For example going through one source at a time (which at some point is necessary to actually absorb information on a new topic) the iPad is perfect because as an ereader it excels at hard to read text because you can change the zoom and brightness and orientation in a tactile way very easily, so it is ideal for dealing with specific sources you need to be very familiar with. For broad strokes? Or research on a multitude of sources that you might just have to regurgitate for school or an essay or something? Yeah you probably want multiple monitors. But to me you wouldn’t want just one device anyway because they are focusing on different steps of the research process. Annotating individual sources? iPad. Compiling all your sources and weeding through your entire bibliography? Desktop computer. But only using one and you loose the advantage of the other. Try taking handwritten annotations on your multi monitor display? You cannot. Just like iPad does poorly with spreading out 20 documents all at once. They both have a different place in the research process. If I had to choose one I would use the computer, but the iPad basic is 299$ so no one has to choose only one anymore, they have become affordable devices to integrate into anyone’s workflow.

I'll add one thing. I do not (and have never got) all day battery life from any iPad I have used as my DD. You know what I do get it on? My M1 MBA.

@@CertifiedSlamboy Good to know. My personal machine is a 2014 MBA. It still works great but has its limitations. I had been thinking about an M1 MBA, but decided to wait for mini-LED to get even better battery life. I’m hoping for either an MBA or fan-less MBP in a smaller package (

The lack of a real keyboard is huge for programming and a lot of other basic task. Yeah you can get those add on keyboards for iPad but they are not going to be something you want to type all day on. And of course ios is both a blessing and a curse. For light use it’s great, but step out of the box for something as complex as coding and all you get is work arounds that never fully overcome the shortcomings of iOS.

It sounds like an M1 MacBook Air would be great for you!

Depending on what you need iterm for, I use blink on my ipad a lot to ssh into servers

So sad that the M1 can't address more than 16 gigs of ram. I won't even consider a new laptop unless I can put 64 gigs in it, and if Apple doesn't bring ECC to the next Macbook they can just forget about my patronage altogether.

@@dial2616 apple event today, your wishes will be fullfilled

@@marwin436 does the new macbook have error correcting memory yet?

@@dial2616 the event didnt even start

@@marwin436 i thought you said my wishes were fulfilled though

It sounded like Mr Rogers neighborhood. I mean that in a good way. I thought he was going to take us to the land of make believe.

same😅

This comment, sir This is the one, yes this one does deserve the Nobel prize

Glass is glass, and glass...breaks.

yes it is , depending on your use case. if you are a light user then it very much can. but for professional task, Laptop is mandatory.

@@maxpayne7030 - JerryRigEverything -

@@subhadeepdutta3086 Yes. Apple will never port MacOS to iPad. So iPad can never be a proper laptop replacement. But if you're a real light user and instead of buying a budget friendly Core i3 laptop from 2017, you buy the base model iPad 9th gen, its a pretty solid deal.

any macbook pro before the 2016 touch bar macbook pro had upgradable storage you might have a newer model.

this comparison is like all car metaphors. it sucks

More like a 2.3 mustang.

@@CyberPunkSimms yea and M1 macs are like the BMW M1

@@AidenRZ777 M1? Isn’t that car from the 70s? Or are you referring to the 1 series m sport?

Did you know that OpenCore Legacy patcher can patch macOS Big Sir or Monterey to run smoothly on macs 2009 or newer?

On the browser its no problem at all.

interesting thought Alex

Ok so : Intel Macs as of right now have 8 years max of software updates (including the original version they ship with). So I think the M1 Macs will have 10 years of software updates (including the original version they shipped with).

@@vihaansingha8340 You can also use patchers made by the community to go well beyond that even. I can get Monterrey on my 2012 MacBook Pro, and it list support on Catalina.

iPad is far superior to research and reading PDFs and ebooks, and all around content consumption and browsing is arguably faster and more fun on a touch screen. But for more advanced computing the MacBook obviously wins. If only for ports and built in keyboard.

You should've chosen a newer ipad air 2. I'm pretty sure thats the last update it gets...

Same. Its really not slow for me at all and doesnt use up anywhere near close to 16 gbs of ram.

It's great with a SSD and 16 GB ram despite the outdated design. Also hosts one the greatest keyboards ever

You should consider putting Linux on it now that Apple doesn't support it. You'll be getting security updates that wouldn't otherwise get installed on MacOS.

@@denniskoeman3098 I know, love the keyboard too.

@@dial2616 Thanks, I don't really know how to do that. My repair guy who installed the new hard drive told me specially not to install chrome though.

Is that the 2017 ipad pro? I have that one also.

@@ClayMationNation Yes, it would be perfect if it wasn’t for the light spots near the home button, and the bad battery life.

@@grumbirky I don't have that issue yet with the light spots, because I always kept a tempered glass protector on it. I am getting my battery replaced as I type this. With this model I know battery replacement becomes necessary after a good 3-4 years of usage. And only costs 100 bucks.
