This was absolutely fantastic! You inspired me to optimise my iPad, I’m now using it as my remote station comfortably and will investigate using it for my entire workflow. Thank you!
As a long-time windows user, utilizing the iPad in this way is so intriguing but has a learning curve. It can't replace my laptop entirely, since I am an engineering student and the iPad doesn't isn't easily able to code at the moment. My institution also requires apps that are not available (or convenient to use) on the iPad. I've been using my iPad air 5 for 6 months now and I love it for taking notes digitally, and doing light tasks like viewing documents, typing papers, surfing the web, etc. It is also great for entertainment because of its small form factor and it is very responsive because of the M1 chip. I've used Chromebooks in the past, and the iPad is almost everything I wanted to see in the Chromebook. The apps are optimized for the iPad and there are minimal issues, though mobile apps have a different UI than websites and apps on a full-fledged PC. I never had a Mac before so learning some of the keyboard shortcuts were hard for me. Thank you for this video! I am interested in learning more about how to get the most usage from my iPad as well!

Thanks for making this video E! I was seriously thinking on getting an iPad and use it with an external monitor to substitute and old Mac (2013). Your excellent review made me rethink this intention since it looks like Apple needs to mature this iPad usage scenario more. Thanks for saving me from the frustration hahaha. And as always, such superb editing, clean images… you continue to get better and better! God bless Mr. E!
Thanks for the video! Personally, I gave up. I really wanted to use my new iPad Pro (M2) as my only computer but it's just to buggy still. I like mirroring (which is fast) with only using my wifi. But for those who are needing accessibility options, which I do (Deaf with CI and Visually impaired) foret it. I think Apple must be leaving this for last. Voice Over works and streaming sound to my Cochlear Implant still works but all else is a hit or miss. You can't use the zoom on screen button. In fact I can't even figure out how to zoom. Key combos for zoom don't work. I just end up getting frustrated and quickly go back to my PC. I love the idea (Samsung tabs do this very well with full accessibility options. but Samsung has it's own issues) but needs a lot of work still.
Thank you for this video! Was much needed and gives me relief to think that it's not just me but it's a design problem by Apple. I have struggled to use desk setups with ipad and can comfortably conclude that serious workflows with Ipad desk setups are a waste of time.
Thankful for this video, not for the reason I thought. Been going back and forth about exchanging my iPad mini for the M1 Air, but this really confirms my suspicions that monitor support is still just not where I want it to be yet.
Excellent and useful deep dive into iPad M-series as a desk setup. Thank you, E! I'm debating a next purchase between the limitations of iPad and a Surface Pro 9.
I was just testing this myself to see if I can make the iPad work as my main desktop option and much like E said, its just not ready to take this on just yet, but almost!
I just wanted to say brilliant thumbnail!! I’ve watched around six videos on making my iPad my main computer. But I’ve decided a laptop fits. My needs better. Seeing your thumbnail I had to click on this video 👏🏿
I hate that circle cursor, like dudeeee gives us a normal cursor already. As a UIUX designer, it is just too much of a pain to use software like Figma or Illustrator.
It’s crazy. Escape doesn’t work, but my mute button does work, but the volume up and down doesn’t work. It’s so inconsistent. Also TH-cam videos when not in full screen show on the left with a huge black space on the right.
Anyone else having issues connecting their M1 iPad Pro to a Studio Display using this setup? My iPad will not support and external displays since updating to iPad OS 17.1.1! 😥
Top Notch video!! I'm sure you've mentioned it in a past video but today the Black shelf for your desk is calling my name and saying WHY NOT ! can you provide a link where you got it or the video that covers it, please.
Hey, What about Sound, I checked but My iPad selected Monitor as default sound and my monitor doesn't have a speaker so, I can't hear anything! Do you have any solution for that. Thanks.
A good video, very obvious there is more development needed, I am thinking of a more portable setup. I do video so things like dji's raven eye can be shown on the iPad. I'd also like to breakout a little more i have a little usb- C hub which has hdmi usb 3 card readers and a pd usb port. this works quite well but audio in and out is something i'm looking for. thing is with the ipad pro there are a number of battery solutions you can use. so field work could be interesting. Although i do have thunderbolt Docks they need mains power. ..
Hello Mate, I am using a Samsung S65UA monitor and IPad is connected Via USB C. If I Pair the usb Microphone to the monitors USB connection, Will I be able to use them via IPad ?
Thank you for the video. I connected my iPad Pro M2 to my external monitor, but the problem is I cannot see use the full screen if someone can help me with this and we really appreciate it.
I have been looking for my ideal Mac & iPad Pro setup for a WHILE, now.. The iPad is the center of my workflow, as I am VERY pencil centred. But I need Logic, some 3D CAD software, and Final Cut. I also need some portability. I've got a 2018 iPad Pro (12.9") I am thinking of : a) keeping the iPad and get a MBP Max 16". b) get a iPad Pro M2 1Tb and a base Mac Studio. The Mac Studio is not backPack friendly.., but the old iPad is starting to show its age, hardware wise.. Have you got any suggestions.. , or a few pointers ? Thanks very much Cheers from Portugal
What about audio output, when you connect the Ipad to a external monitor, the audio output is restricted to either the monitor or a Bluetooth device and.... we there's no option to switch the audio output to ipad speakers when connected to the monitor. Not sure about how Mac monitor behaves but for other monitors... i can see this weird thing
Hi , I have a samsung m8 monitor and I use just like this video the ipad m1 desksetup - but I have a problem to use the webcam of the samsung for my ipad use…. Can someone help me? 🙏
Thank you for the video but I am wondering about how you could get your iPad on full screen on your monitor because whenever I tried to connect it on my monitor, It just keep mirroring on my monitor. Thanks
Stage manager is weird n takes some getting use to but i think its fine. I think people will need to retrain their brains on how to effectively use these new ipad features because people are trying to use it with laptop muscle memory n that is not how its meant to be used. It will get better and i think one day it will replace a mac but it will always be different in its own way.
Thanks for the info. Far as the Logitech devices, for the price they go for, might as well get the Apple magic mouse. I thought there would be something much cheaper than 89 dollars for that magic mouse that would work with the IPAD Pro M2 or not having to point to the screen with a pencil all the time. Jesh!!!!! I can buy a complete wireless Logitech keyboard and mouse at 30-50 dollars for my PC's. Apple for IPAD Pro - magic mouse 89 dollars, Apple magic keyboard 329 dollars - Apple pencil 89 dollars. Something is definitely wrong with this pricing picture. Apple prices are like the military - so damn high. Ridiculous.
Hey Man …. Thanks for the nice video. I am really curious how come your monitor display is full screen ? When I connect my iPad to the monitor using a generic usb c kvm then I see a black strip around the display on monitor.
First time to your channel. Quick question… how hectic is it to completely migrate from windows laptop (mostly excel for invoicing and once awhile power point) to IPad Pro (I am using the old 2018 ver). Does it also cost a lot on software etc?
Great video E! Sadly I’m only able to get 1440p (2560x1440) on my extended display, running a BenQ PD3200U 4K 32” UHD connected via HDMI 2.0 cable with Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport adapter to iPad Pro 12.9 M2. I cannot for the life of me figure out whats affecting the output resolution, also not much info out there on this just yet… would it be worth swapping the HDMI to DisplayPort perhaps? 🤔
@ThisIsE Do you need a display that has a thunderbolt usb-c port in order for this desk setup to work? Do I need a thunderbolt cable? thunderbolt 2,3,4?
Do you have any hubs to recommend? I'm looking for one with 2 usb c ports (at least 1 of them with pd) and an hdmi port. Everything else it's just a bonus
May i ask a question, im currently using a MacBook Pro 13 Inch m2 as my Main device, what iPad do u recommend for me. I want it to complement my Setup and If i do no want to keep using my macbook. Im currently working in it buisiness.
Nice video 👍 Its good that we can manage the brightness of ipad and monitor seperately but it would have been great if could have been able to switch off ipad screen while using monitor! Btw can u pls confirm if we can play content with apps like Netflix in this setup?
Most truthful and helpful tech youtuber I've seen.
Thanks Alex!
@@ThisIsEcan i use an app on full screen on the monitor or it will be hovering around on the monitor ?

Gotta appreciate the consistent production quality here 😉

Stage manager is not only limited to M-powered ipads, my 4th gen 12.9 ipad pro also supports it.
Stage Manager words on older iPads as a software feature but stage manager + extended display is a different story

I suscribed because why not !
Exactly my point 🙂 Thanks Mohamed!
There is technically a way to use the iPad in clamshell. Turn off the lock when case closed in display and brightness
True, but in that case you’ll be scrolling accidentally there
What game is being played at the end?
Nice detailed tour ipados 16 ❤

This video was awesome, thanks!
Thank you!
I have 2 questions:
Can I continue to use it with an external monitor while the iPad screen is locked?
Does it support 120hz monitor?
If you have a magnetic case that puts your iPad to sleep when closed and you don’t want that, you can actually turn that feature off in the settings
True, but that doesn’t change the fact that the screen of the iPad remains active.
