This is the cutest way to review tablet. Drawing your baby daughter on new IPad? Aw man, that’s adorable.
I think it's even cuter when men say stuff like you did lol 🙂 It's nice knowing some men don't care what someone thinks of them when say something is cute.
your welcome, im your 1000th like
You are someone who gives: -
1. honest,
2. believable,
3. to the point,
4. most functional
review of products.
Thanks 😁
Teoh Yi Chie x- As a final year law student (who will probably be using an iPad for reading, researching and MS-word), after watching your review got a hold of the 2018 iPad and not the pro version, as I don’t have that high a need for drawing or graphic intensive work and also on a tablet size above 10.1” would also have to pay for MS subscription to use word for study purposes. Your review helped me immensely in making this choice and I could not have been more satisfied with this purchase. Thank you and looking forward to more content from you.
You just convinced me to buy it. One year later, but still...
Is it good.. I am planning to buy it
Same here!
Just bought one on Cyber Monday, and got 125$ of discount, combining the BestBuy discount and using my credit card points 😁
I really wanted to buy one. But i can't afford it.
Jonathan Frank I may sound like I live under a rock, but can you tell me when cyber Monday is? Thanks 🙏
@@galaxygal375 There was one on Monday July 15th
My teen daughter has been asking for a product to investigate digital drawing and design. Thank you for this review, I think this may be the way to go for her 😊👍
From the reviews I've watched, the iPad Pro is better because of the screen type (sandwiched glass) which gives a better drawing experience apparently. Coupled with the matte screen protector to give a paper texture it the makes it the perfect digital drawing tablet.
I noticed in this video when he draws lines, there's a bit of movement of the line as the pen moves. From 2:49 when he moves the pen slowly to draw the circles you can notice it.
You might want to get your daughter to try this iPad and the iPad Pro to see how she finds the drawing experience and to see if that same movement occurs.
I'm pretty sure that's part of the application he is using. It appears to be predictive stroke of some kind.
Rick Terscale this is half the price of the pro. The cheaper one is good enough for hobbyist
From what I’ve seen, you won’t know the difference between an iPad and a Pro unless you’ve actually seen both side by side, so this is the way to go if she’s just experimenting with it.
April Marie Art me too
Finally a real review. A respectful review. You CAN draw and paint with procreate with the 6th gen....people automatically assume that just because it’s called the pro that it’s the ultimate tool, I mean it is better but not by much. the 6th gen is great too. You will have to create A LOT of layers to even notice lag. I loved the review, good stuff and very true. The 9.7 is pretty comfortable for me, but I use it for traveling, my pro I use at home.
Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! 😊
Thanks :-)
Hi
This is the first time I've even considered an Apple product.. The pen functionality paired with a really good price makes it VERY hard for the competition. Sure, you may give up desktop software you love, but with so many great apps out there (and iPad versions of them), you probably cant beat this deal while mimicking natural drawing (and avoiding headaches with drivers, parallax, jitters etc etc etc) .. Good Job Apple, and as always- awesome review sir! Your channel is where I come for the "artists perspective" !!
If you see this question- whats your opinion on the iPad version of Clip Studio Paint?
I've not used Clip Studio Paint on the iPad so I can't say much. But the desktop version is designed for Comic drawing so it has many brushes and textures created for comics. If your goal is to create comics, it may be a good choice. There's a trial period for testing, after which I believe it is a monthly subscription. If you are not going to be drawing comics most of the time, there are many other good drawing apps with one time payment.
Teoh Yi Chie : thanks for replying sir!😁 Yes, I actually use it on my surface pro and it is an amazingly versitile drawing software whether or not creating comics is the goal. It has many of photoshops abilities but way more focused on actual drawing.. One big thing that sets it apart is a really cool usage of vector graphics that's implemented in a non-complicated fashion.I saw that it was on the iPad and looked really well implemented and not watered down from the desktop version, so I figured I'd ask if you had used it. 😁
Mats S i
Clip Studio Paint isn't just for comics ,all types of Illustration work .I have been using the Free trial version for Ipad Pro and they have done an amazing job ! It is very close to the Full Desktop version ,I just don't like the Sub payment model. Also for painting look at Paintstorm Studio.
This is the first apple product that has a really good bang for the buck compared to the competition
I’ve been holding off getting an iPad Pro because of the cost compared to how much I might use it. Your review confirms this iPad is probably the best for my requirements and for lots of others I imagine.
Simon James a
Thanks so much for this review! I’ve been wanting to get an iPad for some time but was hesitant. You’ve demo’d exactly what I wanted to see and know. Tiffany is precious. 💖
Thanks :-)
Congratulations on your little treasure! May she bring you much joy!
Yes, I love her very much
Thanks for this review! Just got my iPad today and now I’m waiting for the Pencil to be delivered :)
I thought I needed to upgrade to a pro to use the pencil. This saved me hundreds of dollars thank you 😂😂😂😂
I had a 10th gen iPad th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhcEDB3r-OJ3_X5hQzr7k1ZofTQy1ao_U . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.
I'm a tech-head so I'm always obsessed with getting the best, most premium device out there regardless of whether or not I need it. Selling my Samsung Chromebook Pro because I want something for notetaking that's more one-handed. I badly want the iPad Pro 2018 but it's so expensive. I'm not an artist. All I would use an iPad for is note-taking during work meetings and writing down checklists. The only other use would be web browsing and watching videos. For $330 I can get this iPad and apple pencil brand new as opposed to a used iPad Pro (2018) and pencil for $730...and that's being optimistic
1) This review was unbiased and honest. No talk of "specs" and really shows off real-world use for people who aren't hardcore video editors, artists or power-users
2) You did an AMAZING job of showing us how great the 1st gen apple pencil still is. Despite some obvious shortcomings (like charging), it's still an amazing piece of hardware.
3) Showing us your matte screen protector was also very well done. Displaying how it can distort colors (although negligible) was a great addition to the review as it is something I would be getting.
GREAT WORK Teoh Yi Chie
!
Thanks for the review Teoh. I believe sharing experience on daily use is more meaningful than just talking about the specs and pros / cons. Gave you a thumb up
The most excellent review/summary of any product I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for your expert opinion and great video. You told me exact me exactly what I needed to know. Best to you.
I’ve been really wanting an iPad Pro, but can’t afford it at all. Thank you for doing this-I still can’t afford even this less expensive iPad, but it’s good to know that the option to use Apple Pencil with it exists because that’s really important to me! So far, the Apple Pencil is the most responsive stylus I’ve ever used and desperately want to use it more than when I can borrow from a friend or play at the Apple store.
You can wait for the refurbished version. It is typically a six month or so wait. They will appear at the Apple online store for 15% less official retail price.
Meow Meow Kapow if you buy an iphone8 in t mobile they give you an iPad for $100
Teoh Yi Chie thank you very much for your reviews. Can i please request a recommendation on free illustration and note taking apps on the iPad, it’s already much money purchasing the iPad pro/6.and I’m sure alot of people can’t afford to pay apps. Thank u 😊
Sprint is offering the iPad 6 for $4.17/month with upgrade or new mobile phone service I just ordered one when I upgraded my phone today. I use a Wacom Tablet and I am looking forward to trying this out to draw with. (I want a Cintique, but this looks pretty close and I cannot beat the price)
El Peeko i think that’s for the service, you still have to pay for the iPad monthly
What you said about the pen automatically detecting the pressure size. That’s amazing. This is on my wish list now. Thanks for doing this!!
The line thickness depends on how much pressure you apply.
Hello! College student on a budget here!
Just wanted to say, even 3 years later, this is a great review, and helped me made up my mind on what drawing tablet to get on a budget, I was gonna get a Wacom tablet but this seemed way more convenient! Great review!
Out of everyone on TH-cam your reviews are THE MOST effective! You get straight into the point of the video and I appreciate it! No one needs jargon about specs, we want to know how it's going to preform every day tasks and I feel like you're videos tell the viewers that! Thank you sir!
Thanks 😁
I came here for a review and got memorized by your drawing. Also answered ever question I had about the pencil!
You were the best review, now I decided what I want! Thank you from Brazil and congatulations for your new baby!
Anyone watching this in 2019 after just purchasing it? Lol
I got this iPad this month
Yes, same here, bought it this august
got it last year, this ipad is worth the price!!!
YEEP! today is my birthday alsoo
I just bought it too!
Tech you are so bad for me! I started down the rabbit hole of fountain pens because of you. Now my temptation to get the new iPad 6 is almost uncontrollable! Thanks for the really great review.
Thank you for sharing and showing up some drawing apps too, this is exactly my purpose of getting the iPad, sketches and comics, for all the other stuff I have my netbook.
Such a adorable illustration I think you for sharing this because the way you draw the lines so clean and the colors so vibrant now I know I gotta get a iPad 6th gen
Congrats on the arrival of baby Tiffany. Thank you for your reviews. You spend time to offer detail and have actually used the items. Very helpful.
I'm really pleased with my iPad 2018, even with the Hawkee stylus that I'm using at the moment. This is the first time I have tried using a tablet for artwork, before I used a conventional MacBook (or desktop PC) and mouse. I will be upgrading, soon, to the Apple Pencil - for increased accuracy - but at this price point I agree, the iPad18 & Apple Pencil combo is an great value place to begin if you want to draw or paint using a tablet. The quality of the product is terrific. Thank you for the video.
Little update: Got the Apple Pencil for Christmas! Wonderful and the performance difference between that and my original Hawkee stylus is immense. This further improves the creative flexibility of the Pencil/iPad combo!
thank you so much for making this video! i have owned this ipad for a while but just ordered an apple pencil, i wasnt sure about how well it worked with this model of ipad and this really cleared it up! thanks!
I’ve just purchased one and I am so happy with it. Enjoyed you video quit to the point and informative.
Good review. I am on iPad Air 1 currently and this one surely looks to be my replacement. By the way the sketch of your daughter is amazing.
Thanks 😁
Awwww,your baby is so cute!Congratulations,and thanks for making this review,I'm gonna try to get the iPad and pencil
Just got this for Christmas! So excited to use both! Thank you for this review!!!
I love how thorough your reviews are. You answer every question I have about products. So glad that I found your channel!
Thanks :-)
this is the review that i was looking for. strangely there are not really any other videos on this and you covered every detail very precisely. convinced me to buy the ipad 6 !
I was saving like crazy to buy an ipad pro bc i thought it was the only option for digital drawing and it seemed imposible but thanks to you now i know i have a way better option. Thank you, you saved me a lot of money hahaha
Wich way I can save more Moneny ?
thank you!! I saved a lot of money now that I know I can choose ipad6th gen over ipadpro for drawing purpose.
I got a switch out and I’m pleasantly surprised that you can use the iPad 6 on it! So excited to get it soon.
4:55-5:20 I’m not a digital artist but I do know that you can get a matte screen protector to prevent: scratches on screen, it makes it more smooth so your pencil doesn’t start slipping around your screen and ruining the nib and making unwanted marks on the glass of the iPad 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Thanks so much for this, I’m heavily contemplating buying the pencil but I didn’t know wether to get the pro or the 6th gen, this helped a lot!
Thank you so much for this review, it's really helpful ❤️ And congrats for your baby girl!
I just got this combination and absolutely love it! Thank you so much for influencing my decision!!
This review really helped me! 😊 Just bought my first ever iPad, iPad 6th gen the other day😊 you always make great videos! Thank you! ❤️❤️😊
Great video Teoh! Also Tiffany is so cute!
Thanks. Very cute indeed. Her head is so round 😂
Wonderful video and your baby Tiffany was truly the Star of the show!! Congratulations!! Thank you for such a wonderful and precise review!! ❤ God bless you all! -christine
You convinced me to buy one now. Even a year later. I mainly want to use it for drawing and artwork, and sometimes Reddit, so this will be perfect!!! Just liked video!!
I'm going to buy this for sure
I got my pencil today and got the iPad 6th gen earlier, so this was helpful. Thank you! Now your daughter is 14 months already and she is probably not sleeping a lot and have started to eat. Perhaps she have taken her first steps by now and she is probably a lot more active, and you have started to see her personality. This is a fun time so enjoy every second of it because before you know it she will start school.
Yeah. She's starting to do funny stuff lol
This was so helpful, thank you so much. I'll be going with just the iPad as I am relatively new to Apple. Thank you kindly for taking the time to share your thoughts and views while showing how effective this product can be. Be well!
This TH-camr is the only TH-camr I believe when it comes to reviews haha
This is by far one of the best reviews I’ve seen! Thank you so much.
Thanks 😁
Getting this soon because I didn’t want to spend quite a large amount on a pro and 2nd gen and I’m super excited! I was kind of scared I’d be disappointed in the difference in ability and quality but this seems like it will be great!!
Absolutely EXCELLENT overview! As a freelance designer, I've been looking into the possibility of buying an iPad to use ProCreate for finishing work. This answers a lot of the questions I had about its performance. Thank you very much for sharing this!
Thanks! This was helpful to make my choice as I was wanting one for my Birthday!😁
Thank you so much for this review. I wasn't sure whether to get the pro or this one and now I will get this ipad.
Thank you for the clear information. I was contemplating to buy one and you have convinced me. Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. :)
Great review. Thanks for helping in making an educated choice between this and the iPad Pro
Great video and congratulations on the new baby
This is exactly what I needed, I am about to get a Apple Pencil and I am watching this on my iPad 6th gen so thanks for letting me know
Thank you for the video. I wanted the ipad just for art and this really helped. I did not want to spend more money than i needed to.
your videos have been the most reliable and helpful for me! thank you!
Hello, great review. Just wanted to ask you, what pencil is that? I really wanted to get a cheap and responsible iPad and this is perfect. Ive always wanted a pencil, so just a question.
Amazing video! I’ve been trying to decide between the two and you’ve been of tremendous help! Thank you!
I'm definitely still learning a lot with your videos. You're also very right in your analysis, thanks for that Teoh !
Thank you very much for your review of the apple ipad (2018) and the apple pencil. I am thinking of getting the ipad soon and the pencil at a later date.A great insight into what they both can do.All the best to you and your family.
Thank you! Your review hit alot of the key areas I needed information on. Great work!
Now am convinced to get an Apple Pencil for my birthday!
Thanks for this amazing review. I have been wanting to get an iPad and get into digital art, but I have been waiting to see if you did a review on it compared to the pro. Thanks for convincing me that the new Ipad 6 will suffice, my wallet is much happier this way.
Amazing and honest review! Definitely helped!
Keep up the good work!!
So glad i found your review. I've been looking at buying a ipad 6th gen to use adobe draw and illustrator on when I'm not designing at my laptop
Thank you very much for making this video! This has helped me make the decision on what to buy. :)
is it true that ipad doesn't support Instagram
THANK YOU for this review and congratulations on Tiffany! 😍
Awww your baby daughter is sooooo cutee❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your detailed review! Hit all the points necessary for use of iPad 6 w/ Pencil. Hope Tiffany is doing well; she is a wonderful muse!
She's very big now. Eight months old.
So helpful 😊 was contemplating between 6th gen and 10.5 pro. I guess this one's enough for me. The thought you said on the last part is so right! I'll just draw and not think about the specs/how fast it is 😁 its speed is enough! 😊 Subscribed! Stay safe!
I really love your review unlike many I think yours justify the iPad really Thanks a lot 💕
Thanks 😁
Thanks for the review! It's cute seeing how much you draw your daughter.
superb tech review. was looking at your other excellent stylus reviews as well. going to get the adonit mark for nintendo switch (mario maker 2 with my son) and use with ipad mini 2. was looking at ipad 6 and new ipad air (better guts) for apple pencil for my son and myself for art.
having an art background and still an intuos wacom tablet from years ago for photoshop corel draw etc i knew most stylus and digital tablets were pretty underwhelming for art, provided you were initiated and a long time tech user, even the intuos cintiq and pro tablets are not superior to traditional art, outside of digital workflow.
it is nice to see that apple is offering a good quality product especially including the base end in 90% of the functionality. people need to remember buying some stuff doesn’t make you an artist nor does it stop your competency development through other / traditional means. in the west we have a culture of spending to acquire cache. versus working and becoming educated and experienced to attain skill / competency.
the big winner for ipad 6 and pencil lowering the barrier to entry is for schools and children.
like anything tools are only part of the equation what you do with them matters most. As you are obviously aware.
my friend insisted on buying the 256 12.9 pro and the pencil, and all he uses it for is crunchy roll and mobile games. to me i saw the magic of the 6 buy the tablet have the option if the pencil later. to be fair he had the money to burn and wanted the best, but the point remains.
hope you and your family are well and i wish you health and happiness especially for your young daughter. My son is 6 now you have to enjoy the work of parenting as the time goes always forwards.
edit: thanks for noting the 2gb ram apple does their best to obfuscate some details, and as of 2019 here in canada the air with 64gb base mem is better value for a 3-4+ year tablet user like myself. the other excellent comparison you made was showing two 6s fitting in a 12.9 pro its an important point for artists that want the size without zooming and or for videos etc. i like smaller devices personally like mini 2 iphone se etc but there are always tradeoffs.
Thank you for this honest review. I had been using an iPad 3rd gen for drawing for a while. I think this will be a great option for now until I can afford a pro. You can still create great masterpieces out of almost anything in my opinion.
This is a great review, tells me everything I need to know, also very wholesome
thank you for this! i'm definitely saving up for an ipad 6 & pencil. so happy there's a cheaper ipad that is compatible with the apple pencil!
The iPad 2018 is really quite snappy. The A10 fusion chip was a large jump over the A9.
I'm so late to the game lol but I was happy to learn today that Apple came out with a good size ipad (not too heavy) that is apple pencil compatible. thanks so much for your review. This really helped me make a decision to go out and treat myself today!!
I watched your video, and it's great! Which do you think is better - this Ipad 2018, or Lenovo Yogabook Android version WiFi Only)?
Dear Teoh.. tQ tQ for your kind honest review of the iPad6..
as per your statement, a good iPad if wants to utilise the Apple pencil but not a pro artist needing to buy the Pro.
tQ again n take care.
Great review! Also congrats on your new daughter 💞🙌🏻
This was a very honest review
Great job!
Edit:I love your drawings and I hope to be a great artist like you one day
This was the exact review I was looking for! 😱🔥🔥
Welcome :-)
Thank you for this review, I am thinking of buying this product and your review helped me a lot.
The pictures of your baby daughter are adorable!!!
Thanks :-)
I do a lot of drawing for my work but I don't have a big budget since we pay about 300 more for anything! I just wish I could get the ipad for under 500!! :). Nice to know more about the ipad 6 rather than the pro for drawing! Thanks for your video and showing the actual drawing aspects:) And congrats on your sweet baby!! Cheers from Canada.
How does it work? I've had original ipods, iPod nano, iPod touch, and iPod nano in light pink but got rid of speaker. Is iPad still worth the hype?? I've been looking at chrom books for drawing to replace Amazon kindle hd 8. But now I'm considering an iPad 250$.
Thank you so much!! Can you maybe now recommend a foil that makes the iPad "paper like"?? :-/ they're sooo expensive
Supershieldz from Amazon
That's what I'm looking for affordable iPad 6 (2018) and bought it from OWC - MacSales which was giving big discount $269 US - save up to $150!!! Also, bought Apple Pencil (1st generation). Don't buy the other pencil which may give you some erratic behavior - (not straight line - active stylus pen 2021). My wife will be happy to have it for drawing some cartoons soon.
Congrats on your new baby girl! Great review
Nice review, I cannot afford and iPads but thank you for the information 😃
An excellent review. Very comprehensive and thoughtful. Just what I needed. Thank you.
Your are an amazing drawer!
congratulations Teoh! I didn't know you were a father!
Thanks. She's close to one month old now :-)
Thank you for such a well put together review!
Welcome 😁
Great review, I'm off out now to purchase this iPad and Pencil! Thank you!
Thanks for the review. Wanted to buy the ipad pro but kinda expensive. Thinking of getting the new ipad air also. I wanna have an ipad mainly for browsing internet, checking flight, airbnb, hotels, watching youtube will in bed or outside and also for traveling. So this ipad is good enough? how about the screen size of 9.7? or the bigger one like 11 to 12.9 inch will be a better choice? please advise me
