![iPad Pro M2 vs Surface Pro 9 - Don’t Make a MISTAKE! [2023]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/5kfCpv8eudA/mqdefault.jpg)
Being limited by ipadOS has always been the thing that kept me from buying an ipad pro
using my ipad feels like using a big screen iphone. too limited to do any real work.
thx for sharing :)
@@hidingmyrealname it's too ironic people say samsung tabs are big phones when it's the ipad that feels like a jumbo iphone and samsung tabs like actual computers. Typical of apple isheep I guess.
@@swagger6166 averaged apple lover says thaat
Ya honestly because in the tablet market the iPad kills it while android tablet don't differentiate itself much from android phones. On iPad app store we have iPad apps and iPhone app opition were android doesn't have any pro level tablet exclusive app. Surface isn't a tablet it's a laptop tablet are mobile device in a larger canvas
" There are certain things you can do with only an iPad, but overall, the surface can do a lot more than the iPad" - one of the best reviews! Thanks Ella.
They can make the ipad m2 faster and faster, but the limitations on software support make it an overpowered niche machine
I feel like the chips are already super fast, so it’s hard to imagine it getting much faster. Wonder what comes next 😂
@@zoneout0 said eveyone 50 years ago
iPad is a Tablet. It doesn't need a keyboard. Software is subject to developers.
@@UJB123 nobody said anything about keyboard. a tablet without proper multitasking is just a poor device.
@@metinhesenov yea, I loving squinting and straining my eyes multitasking 4 programs each in a 3x4 inch window while my surface turns into a hot plate and wrecks it’s own battery 😂😂😂
If I need to multitask I’ll do it on my full power desktop or just remote into it. The problem with the surface is that it’s both a mediocre laptop and a mediocre tablet.
I've used my Surface for 3 years in classes and it was great! I used OneNote for all my basic Notetaking and then had a full Microsoft Visual Studio installation as well as an SQL Server running on it to code and work with databases during classes. All the ones with iPads had to bring a laptop or use the schools computers which are so bad....
So yeah, if you need a tablet/laptop combo for class definitely go for a Surface Pro. You won't be disappointed!
What processor your surface has ? Like i7 or i5 ?
@@AbstractViewsdesi I’ve had the i5 with 8GB of Ram. Was plenty for what I was doing.
@@Mc_Fly same for me and I’m an engineer. Plenty powerful enough unless you are making 4K videos. Even then it can still do this but takes longer. I guess the best long term value could be 16/256 gb and a OneDrive account. That’s plenty for most. I also think the 6 and possibly the 7 surface have micro SD slots, which is useful for transferring AV and creating back ups.
You can even run VMs on it which is insane. Especially if you are IT student where you work with VMs a l ot
Onenote? So oldschool
Why lock yourself into Apple's ecosystem? With the surface you get a full operating system that is far more flexible. iPads are just a style over substance choice.
The best comparison of these 2 devices I’ve seen so far. Been looking since yesterday on youtube but no one covered every aspect of the devices better than this. Great work and thanks for helping me decide
Thank you for this! I had already bought an iPad for taking notes in class, but I always feel I should bring my laptop also because of the many features you mentioned. The iPad is awesome for certain things, and though the software is limited by the OS you will rarely run into problems with apps or with your device. It's been kind of hard for me to adjust to the iPad ecosystem but using the logitech folio case makes the iPad an amazing lite laptop and great note taking with the apple pencil.
I've just recently started watching her reviews and I've found that I could understand and tune into the video more than other creators, thank you for your reviews
awesome review. very complete and just what i was looking for thank you! (the 8X slowmo was very useful)
In short, yes. Easier to replace the SSD, easier to play X-box live, and easier to use Excel advance features for finance/economic majors. Also, SP 9 feels like a slim laptop that can be a tablet too. Whereas the M2 Ipad Pro feels like only a tablet.
Isn't the SSD Soldered onto the Motherboard? not replacable
@@maxderdax6117 not anymore. the newer surfaces have replacable ssds. or you do a dell and have everything replacable.
I’m so glad you compared these! Very insightful!
The surface pro 9 is the only tablet you can use for computer engineering
You can attach the keyboard backwards to fold the keys behind the surface pro. Also, drawboard is a decent alternative to goodnotes for the surface if you use one drive for storage organization
Thanks Ella.
You gave much needed information.
Just discovered your channel. Your reviewing style and thoroughness is fantastic. Subbed!
I love your videos! So much detail is packed into them! Amazing! :)
Great review! Finally someone who is not geeking out but gives out plain data! Thanks
was looking for a video like this. love it!
I used my surface pro 6 during my masters and it improved my studies significantly. I used it both to take handwritten notes in class and to write/run code in practical lessons and project work. It's particularly useful because it runs windows, and that means you are not limited by iOS or android. You can run all windows software without issue. So I went from having to lug around 1 laptop + 1 huge dossier + a book or two, to having one single, lightweight device. It honestly saved my back. So I highly recommend it for more STEM degrees.
It's was also a long-term investment, because I continue to use it everyday for work and during my free time for drawing on the AutoDesk Sketchpad. It's really quite versatile.
There are a few less positive points though: I've had my pro 6 for 6 years now and I've had to replace the pen tips multiple times (and they are so expensive), the keyboard once and the charging cable twice. The proprietary charging is trash it just keeps losing connection, so I hope they've improved that since. Occasionally the surface really lags out but I've noticed that has improved since I've upgraded to windows 11. With that said though, it's a 6 year-old device, so I hope new versions are significantly better built.
I have both, I’ve had a lot of surface products in the past and a lot of apple too. I found the surface a lot more functional and flexible when it comes to functionality, BUT!! I’m gonna say it rn, the surface devices give in relatively fast. I don’t overuse or try to tamper into my devices etc- nah, they just crash. Surface prods sometimes overheat and develop those orange spot screen things, too. (If you touch the screen of surface devices,- especially the art-center end ones, you’ll notice the texture is a lil softer than your usual glass. I think it serves a purpose, but it’s also quite fragile) And sure you can have them fixed, BUT IF YOURE IN SOUTH EAST ASIA! Repairing the surface products are kinda quite obnoxiously expensive. When I moved to Australia, it was a lot more convenient. Overall, function wise, I’d say surface; Long term use- I’d go for the iPad.
Not only that, the surface hardware is inferior to Apple's. I have a surface pro 8, about 1.5 years old now, and there are dead pixels on the screen. My son's Ipad pro is a similar age and absolutely no issues. No issues with my 8 year old Macbook Pro too! Had a surface 3 a few years ago and that had WiFi and screen issues.
Thanks for sharing. That's actually a helpful information.
Thank you for your excellent comparison and review!
I really wish Stage Manager did multi-window more similar to macOS as having to manually resize the apps is such a pain. Definitely better to go for the Surface if it’s going to be your only laptop, but if it’s a secondary device the iPad Pro is really great. I’ve got a MacBook Air M1 and M1 iPad Pro 11” and just love the combo.
great side by side comparisons - really helped me decide!
Thank you for making this video! Superb comparison
Another great comparison video. Thanks Ella!
Good video. For 8:49 in video, actually, you can change page size in OneNote like A4 B5 if you want and you can choose different paper background. Even you take notes in infinite page, Onenote will automatically resize page for exporting your notes as PDF
This feature without left alignment would be huge but than changing paper sizes is a challenge
I'm lucky at the moment to carry both a tablet and laptop to school. On most occasions, I carry just my iPad, using the pencil and goodnotes 5 for biology notes. Then for heavier notes such as geography which requires a lot of writing, I type attaching the magic keyboard and use word. For most cases, the system works well but other times, when I need to do a lot of multi-tasking or look at multiple documents at once, I find my iPad Air running out of ram and not able to keep the tabs that I need open. Also, the screen size is a little small for functional use. Therefore for days when I know I am going to need a powerhouse, I use my HP Spectre X360. I'm really glad goodnotes is coming to windows as hopefully, this might enable me to only take a laptop into school and fold it into a tablet when needed with the pen.
Edit: I do really like the iPad for most things though, it always connects to my hotspot (iPhone) consistently and quickly while sometimes my laptop struggles. The IOS continuity helps when copying and pasting images and text from my iPhone to my iPad. Even using apps like iMessage and Facetime are super convenient on an iPad without having to use my phone. Battery life is slightly better but the device is more efficient not ever getting very hot. But one of the biggest features for me, the iPad doesn't use as much data as my laptop does on my hotspot. Even with both devices set to metered connections, the iPad uses considerably less amount of data in comparison which makes a massive difference when I only get 40GB a month.
Outstanding work, Ma'am. You did a hellava comparison video; very impressive.
Thank you for stating the conclusion at the beginning. I'll "like" your next 2 videos no matter what just because of that LOL! Of course I watched till the end because your content has always been insightful :)
Thanks Ella for a very helpful review! What size of the iPad Pro is in your video? 11 inches?
Currently a CS student and I am looking for a device which can act as a tablet but with laptop power and very portable without bringing my massive laptop around. A lot of videos on YT are suggesting either Apple Ipad or Samsung Tab S9 (because of Samsung Dex). I think you got me sold on Surface Pro 9. :)
Thanks for the nice and realistic review :)
Don’t forget about the Rog flow z13, also new z13 might feature H210 chips bringing energy efficiency to a new level
Good comparison. Helped me decide between the two. Thanks.
Great video and breakdown of the pros and cons of the features of the 2 devices! You just helped me decide my mind! I will pick up the surface pro 9 i5 model.
All I need from my “big screen” tablet:
- reading articles, comics, novels
- take notes
- Netflix and TH-cam
- browsing with extensions!
- programming and software development ( occasionally )
- a more complete full fledged computer experience
thanks for the detailed breakdown!
I very much appreciate your honest take on tech 👍
Great review, thank you
i've just ordered my on amazon
As an architecture student the classes are a whitewash of iPads in the first half of the year when sketching ideas is priority and a whitewash of gaming laptops in the second half of the year when final drawings are required. There’s virtually no surfaces as there’s no windows procreate and the surfaces overheat to oblivion when given a final render. I guess it entirely depends on your course.
For an up and coming content creator this video exceeded my expectation. Job well done!
i love how you type on the surface, it is why i am convinced! 0:25
i love your videos, very informative!!!!
very comprehensive and clear review. I am gonna Subscribe!!!
This is really informative. I love this. It's interesting to see why some would prefer the Surface and others iPad. For me I use a Samsung tablet and have a laptop. I am looking at getting a new larger tablet or laptop. So this definitely does help. Brilliant video Ella.
Try a brilliant and cheap Asus 15.6 HD IPS screen. They start at about $200, don’t necessarily need power - mine takes it from a USB socket on my simple Acer Swift 1 14 inch laptop. I often travel and find this cheap combo brilliant for accessing my university corporate system and Office 365 online. The Swift uses Wi-Fi 6. I lent it to a colleague for a week when her new $1000 ‘business’ Dell burnt out its motherboard in 6 weeks. She said the Acer had a better screen, better keyboard and was much faster for working on line. I got mine for $250 in a sale. I was off on a two week work and road trip where the gear was in the semi open visible trunk of an SUV.
It worked great and didn’t stress me out. If I’d have taken my MBP 13 16/512 I’d be concerned. That is worth 5 or 6 times as much. How many of us really need super tech on a daily basis? I often film on an iPhone 13 Pro but edit and render on my Apple refurbished macmini 16/256gb which is superb for that.
@4:15 I loved the 'dramatic reenactment ' 😆
Great video! Keep up the great content!
Great video! How do you manage to get all these laptops / tablets?
Thank you so much for this!!! I am going into nursing school and OMG i was stuck looking between these two for so long. This cleared so much up!!!!
Which one did you end up choosing ?
Good review and a new subscriber here all the way from Japan. I have both devices but I always lean towards the surface when it comes to getting work done. iPad for more for leisure for me
Great review. I am in the market for a device and have been trying to compare which one to go with.
Very helpful, Thank you.
Thank you for your first review of surface laptop!
I guess one ipad alternative for those in IT is to remote into your home computer or use web computer. Although taking a laptop would be easier for those not as advanced in those areas.
Very well presented. As a university engineering lecturer, I can only agree with your comments. I have both ecosystems. I use Apple ( iPhone pro 13, MBP13 M1 (from work), MBP 16, Mac mini M1, iPad 10.5, iPad gen 9 (from work) and Studio Display. The Mac mini is needed to drive the Studio Display and a Dell 4K 27 in monitor at the same time. All the Apple gear is because I create a lot of content, filming and audio recording so the interfaces and speed for editing and rendering are superb.
However, for work stuff such as writing papers, white boards, OneNote etc the Surface 6 and more recently an 8 are brilliant. Your comments on the keyboard are interesting. On a desk you can use it in flat mode to aide stability and feel. It then emulates the Apple Magic Keyboard but with far more functionality. It’s also I think a bit lighter than the 12.9 iPad Pro and keyboard which some of my students use.
So it’s a balance really. iPads are great for consumption and creation of films. Surfaces are better for technical working.
For most students a MacBook Air or the cheapest MBP Pro are still great options, especially the M1 chip versions possibly from the Apple refurb store. Installing Parallels enables the user to have a hybrid system as most universities will give free copies of W10 or 11 Edu along with lots of other free software. Then buying a basic iPad Gen 9 and pencil gets you the best of all worlds.
Using a proper monitor back in your digs is an excellent idea. Dell offers student discounts so you can get a good 24 in for just over $100. Then get a good keyboard and mouse. Here the Surface pro wins hands down. The Surface keyboard is excellent. The Logitech MX keys is superb and would be my recommendation as it can drive 3 devices and both windows and Apple.
You only get one set of eyes so a large monitor helps, reduces eye strain and related headaches and definitely improves posture to protect you neck and back. Also get a good desk lamp for reading paper notes.
can you teach me civil engineering ?
Excellent video. THANK YOU 👍
For taking notes I prefer the iPad (I don't use OneNote), but overall for school my older Surface Pro 7 was just better. All of my school's apps/programs as a Mechanical Engineering major are all made for Windows while very few of them are made for iPadOS. That couple with the ability to take notes as well made me get a Surface Pro 7 while I ended up using the iPad Pro more for a gaming/entertainment device that I could also take notes with.
As a lecturer I agree with you. I am often surprised to see so many students, mainly from the Far East, using very expensive iPad 12.9 and Magic Keyboards for my engineering classes. Too often students buy their kit before arriving and don’t follow our advice. A first year student asked me about kit to replace her ageing 5 yr old laptop. My recommendation was an Acer i7 14 in, 16/512 for excellent functionality, metal build and keyboard, then a Surface pro 8 for portability and finally an MacBook Air M1 (refurbed or via an educational retailer) with parallels for battery life and overall quality. I specifically advised her not to go down the iPad Air or Pro route as by the time all the peripherals were acquired it blew her budget of $850 and offered far less functionality than she needed for a 4 yr engineering programme.
@@andrewcrossley2448 does anyone really expect to do engineering work on an iPad?!! I mean I am also an engineering scholar, and my daily setup is a MacBook Pro M1 Pro and an M1 12.9" iPad Pro. The MacBook Pro covers nearly all my daily needs, the iPad Pro is a really useful accessory and awesome tool to have for notes and maths, but for heavy duty engineering work, not even the MacBook Pro can handle it and I offload it to a threadripper 24core, dual gpu pc. My iPad is one of my favourite devices and I suggest it to my students when they ask about it, as it has replaced all my books and I take with it all my notes and do my presentations from it. But it never crossed my mind that a student would want to use it as a main device in a mechanical engineering major. Tbh, if an engineering student was to have only one device, despite how much I don't like them I would suggest a windows laptop and some prayers that it's gonna last more than 2 years lol.
Also I wouldn't suggest parallels in anything less powerful than a 32GB M1 Max machine. Even my M1 Pro I think would suffer if I had to allocate the admittedly limited 16GB of RAM to a VM. So yeah, of a single device an i7 laptop seems like a more logical option than a 3K MacBook Pro for a student.
@@rafaeldomenikos5978 all makes sense. Your kit is far more expensive than the vast majority of my students can afford here in the U.K. but iPads are great for consumption of ref books etc and allow us to mark up reading material as well as marking reports. For the latter I prefer my Surface Pro 8 and pen as it’s seamless with SharePoint online etc. It also has superb speakers, front camera and mics just like iPad Pros but the landscape format is far more natural for conference calls.
Just found your channel. Soo refreshing to see a tech girl. :)
you know what.. you are the first TH-camr that does a very unbiased review. I feel like other TH-camrs are somehow trying to cater to apple in their reviews. when it comes down to it I am more interested in capability than looks....
Agree with all your main points, especially on app availability.
Maybe not relevant to students but Lumafusion is an iPad video-editing app that many pros use. I have more issues with the poor file handling on the iPad. This, to me, is its major obstacle.
thx for sharing :)
@@CreatedbyEllaYT i love your clip. if a goodnote full version will release on 2023, a surface will can be repalcement ipad pro.
iPad just doesn't makes sense to pros because of it's limiting OS. Just buy Mac or Windows if you're a pro or want to edit videos, even the free davinci resolve is better than Lumafusion
Best 13mins video I've watched all year
thanks so much!
Good to see the Quadratic Equation making an appearance!!! :D
I just want to add something that I think is quite important: the SQ3 version of the surface pro 9, because it's an ARM based SoC, cannot run quite a few apps, even when the device is running windows, because most of the apps, on windows, are made for x86 procesors.
my old Macbook Air died on me and I have been trying to decide on a replacement since I start grad school next month. This review was so helpful! thank you!
Wow!!! Super Useful Review!!!❤❤
not bad , all points included, very informative, thank you
I usually don't comment but thank you so much for your review! I've never seen such a perfect product comparison video that's able to be understood by both tech savvy individuals and people that aren't as knowledgeable. A prime example for other tech reviewers to follow for sure
Totally agree with your conclusion for the use case presented. While I prefer my MacBook/iPad combo now, if I could only have one device then the surface pro works well. I used a surface pro for a few years and only stopped using it because as my usage increased due to work from home, the size of the screen became to much of a hinderance - my home setup doesn't have room for a full-size desktop monitor. A MacBook as the main driver with the iPad for light portable duties (noting the MacBook is also pretty portable) suits me now.
I think that the key here is what you already own and which gaps you need to fill. If you don't have a computer at all, Surface is the way to go as it can do pretty much everything. If you already own other Apple devices and especially if you already have a MacBook, getting a surface is super inconvenient.
Same here. i used the surface laptop for 3 years and the battery was just pretty bad and declined in performance. While i still think i prefer windows overall, the ipad/mac combo is pretty amazing
There id also one thing to add about surface pro features, is that when you fold back the keyboard, win 11 switches automatically to tablet mode, or you can use the semi flipped keyboad as a stand especially when put on a non flat area (stomach/sheets...)
Finally someone on you tube speaks about that iPad university problem
Very very good review. Well done
Your reviews are perfect
Wow. This is the review we are looking for
Yes it is. In fact, I would go as far as claiming that the surface pro 9 is the ONLY useful tablet for students.
The ipad is just a extra device to do specific things .
For example is great if you are a comic artist / tattoo artist and it's nice for sketching on the go .
Surface is a full Pc with the same input you find on the ipad for same or less money .
So if you don't need something that it's exclusive for IPAD only ...
surface will be always better for students or every scenario as well :3

Ella's typing skill and technique....
Flawless 😎😯😁
Not the quadratic formula equation HAHAHA i loved the video
Can you make some of the examples of the sense of taking notes on textbooks and stuff?
because it's really important not just for taking notes only, but to annotate textbooks as well
Nice video, I like your honesty in reviewing the products, unlike some TH-camrs, you avoided sugarcoating. Great job 👏
I used the Surface Book 1 when I was in college, and everyone else either had iPads, Macbooks, or traditional pen and paper.
I swear people looked at me when I would casually detach the screen and start using it like a tablet. One classmate in a coding lab even mistook it for a Macbook and did a double-take when I asked for assistance.
If you don't care or don't need Apple stuff, I think the Surface lineup is actually a pretty good 2-in-1 package. You can also probably save a little more money as well. (I bought a refurbished one for $600).
I have a surface book, and despite its attraction, I find it very difficult to take hand written notes for math especially, the computer I’ve had for around 1.5yr and have run into several processor problems, I have the original Microsoft pen, but have found it a huge disappointment, as every-time I start to write notes, the line lags behind, do you believe that the IPad is a more sustainable note taking device and is worth the price to have alongside a laptop?
My phone, tablet with pen and laptop are the perfect trio in my classes. Every single one of them has some potential that the other one simply can't reach.
exactly the same problems i had with samusng android tablet! thanks for talking about these comp science students issues :) I currently plan to switch to surface completely
yeah, same, despite the fact that you can run compatibility layers on android, some stuff just doesnt work, will go for a dell 7320 though as its cheaper and more repairable.
It’s a fairly good review. But I personally really miss some insight in using unreal and blender with it. Won’t work perfect duh but I’d like to know if I can do light work in them or sculpt in blender
Thanks for your comparison in real life experience 👍🏻
Feels like adding the 5G detail since this is comparing the ARM version and not the Intel chip. Great overall review!
Yeah, if you could only use one device a desktop operating system is always superior. I personally use an iPad when I’m on the move. As a graphic design major it’s great for sketching and taking notes, but adobe apps are lackluster on the iPad and the Affinity apps just aren’t industry standard despite being very close to their desktop counterparts. So I mostly do first drafts on my iPad for its mobile convenience then switch to my desktop for finishing touches (and anything multitasking related).
Hi Ella, cloud you make a review of GOODNOTES for this two devices?
Thanks.
Hands down the best lady reviewer out there and probably the best reviewer in any case as well. It feels soothing to watch your content- wish that you upload more videos lol. Thanks a ton for your effort- Keep up the good work😀😀.
Brilliant comparison ❤
Were you using Sidecar wireless? You can also use it cable connected which should reduce the lag and maybe compression.
There is one thing that you didn't really mention that I think can add a lot of clarity. Inform at the beginning that you have an SQ3 version and explain what that is. I love my Surface Pro 9 and know what SQ3 is but honestly not many people do. Other than that, Love the Vid!
My sister (who’s a student) really likes the Surface 9
I tried to use the iPad Pro for classes that should ostensibly be fantastic for the iPad (chemistry, physics, and math), but failed every time. Google Docs is severely limited on the iPad and the lack of ability to use Chromium browsers makes it impossible to use the web version which provides support for citation managers, LaTEX, and other extensions, which is highly important when writing up lab reports. The same is true for MS Word. So even if an iPad technically has the same apps, at least in name, as a regular Mac or Windows computer, there’s no guarantee that they’ll be even remotely as good, especially for upper level high school or university students who demand more than a very basic word processor.
Also my math class, which is online, required the use of a lock down browser, which cannot be installed on an iPad. I have a friend at school who only used an iPad and when everyone went remote he had to borrow his dad’s old Windows laptop just to take tests.
use overleaf for Latex... some how I was able to get by 3 years of college without the need of laptops, with things like overleaf and google colaboratory :D

@@00z53 I get errors when I tried to use it on the web version, including this browser is no longer supported followed often by site crashes. Google Docs is, unsurprisingly, written exclusively for Chromium browsers so WebKit gives tons of issues

When I used my iPhone as a note taking device I liked to use one notes, always thought that if I went for an iPad I would prolly use it for good. Instead I chose s6 lite, no regret!
I once heard someone say that an Ipad is only good if the major you are studying is one of those that is essentially a hobby for the ones studying a real major, lol
I have an Ipad Pro but would like to upgrade to a Surface since the former is severely limited for my use as a Computer Science student. Is there a way to take notes that goes hand in hand with recorded voice, as in Notability or Goodnotes for that matter? 😅
Great comparison. Excellent video! 👍
thank you!
Dang it Logisim ! Just had a project for one of my classes 🥶🤣
I use surface pro for work and Ipad mini for media consumption and note taking. I'm comfortable with this setup.
This was such a well balanced review. I wanted a surface while in college but I needed power for video editing so I got a beefy MacBook. It then died but I had a giant gaming pc at my house so I got a Chromebook for like $200 with an employee discount and took notes on that. I wish they’d just add chrome extensions to iPad OS.
Whats the MacBook?Air/Pro?or just MacBook?whats inch!?
surface laptop studio with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti
No one likes too much Google stuff on their Apple products ... It's likely due to all the extreme security issues. School children use iPads.
Do you recommend getting a third party keyboard for the surface? I’ve seen some on Amazon but idk if it would work well
What app do you use to draw or take notes on surface pro?
I bought a surface pro 9 today and if it weren’t for these great reviews and comparisons I wouldn’t have it! Love it, thank you
Hello please respond. But I’m looking at the samsung s9+ or the surface book pro 9. I’m really rooting for the Samsung bc it has water resistance. And that’s it. But I recently learned about the surface pro 9? Would you consider this over a galaxy tablet?
@@faccezitCrocdepends, the galaxy has better battery life, the surface is more useable.
