    I am a firm believer in "Use Cases". I have a use case for both the iPad Pro, and the MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air. I travel extensively for work, so in my laptop bag is both a 12.9" iPad Pro M1, and a MacBook Air 13" M1. During my average 2-week business trips, I use both for separate, and specific reasons.

      What are the use cases?

  • @bryanbuff
    @bryanbuff 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +101

    Why I choose the iPad Pro over the MacBook Pro:
    Hardware:
    1. Versatility. The ability to interact with the device in many ways. In “Laptop Mode” with the Magic Keyboard you can go from using your fingers, Pencil, trackpad, and keyboard all seamlessly. Or in “Clipboard Mode” with just the tablet and pencil/touch for drawing, reading, watching, showing. There are so many ways to hold/use the device vs the MacBook Pro where it’s just the trackpad and keyboard that is permanently fixed.
    2. Thinner and lighter.
    3. FaceID (for now this is a differentiator). I find FaceID faster and easier to use than TouchID.
    4. OLED (for now).
    5. Ability to charge from power bank, smaller adapters.
    6. Camera on back for scanning documents, or snapping a quick environmental photo (can also do so discreetly).
    Software:
    1. Apps open and close instantly. Lightning fast to swipe and switch apps. I actually find this preferably vs having 7 app windows on the same desktop.
    2. Slide Over is very handy (calculator, address book, ChatGPT, Notes). I use the calculator a lot for work, so it’s great to be able to swipe from the right and do a calculation and then swipe it away. On the Mac, I’d have to open and close it or keep it somewhere on the screen. It’s also quicker/easier to tap the numbers on the calculator (touchscreen) on the iPad.
    3. Drag and Drop. I use this a lot, especially grabbing multiple items and then dropping them elsewhere. I like being able to touch an item or several items, and then swipe with my other hand to open another window or app and then drop the items in there. This doesn’t work the same way on the Mac.
    4. Apps like GarageBand, DJ, Notes, FreeForm, LumaFusion, etc. are much more enjoyable with the touch interface.
    5. Simplicity - I don’t need more complex desktop apps or deep menus. I am able to run my business using Zoom, iWork apps, and web-based software. For my hobbies, I use GarageBand, LumaFusion, Lightroom, etc. I am able to do everything on the iPad Pro.
    6. There are some apps that don’t exist for the Mac that I use (Arlo, Insta, TH-cam, games, etc.)
    7. I like the ability to alternate between simple multi-tasking (split screen and slide over) and Stage Manager
    8. More secure (no executable files)
    9. Continuity between iPad and iPhone. They operate very much the same way and most of the apps are universal, so it’s easier to go back and forth between an iPhone and iPad than it is between an iPhone and a Mac. GarageBand is a good example.
    10. Easier to replace (and set up).

I’d ask your school what the requirements are before deciding.

    I've seen performance vs form factor for the past 40 years. The iPad M4 is the first time in 40 years I've been blown away as if staring at magic. How can you have the single fastest CPU in your entire lineup of devices, in the thinnest all in 1 device, with the best screen on any device in history? It just doesn't make any GD sense. M4 blows things like i9's out of the water, giant desktops with 4 inch fans on 3 sides. The iPad M4 really is the first time i've been utterly blown away.

    After using mine for over a week, trying to do things I would normally do on my MBP, I VERY impressed with the magic keyboard compared to the previous one. Given I had the 11" before and that was part of the issue. As I build a lot of custom boards I'm not a huge fan of low profile keyboard but can happy type on either my MBP or this new MagicKeyboard for hours without issue. Although I'm always happy to get back to my heavy tactile switches when I can. Keep up all the great content Greg, definitely enjoying all of it!

Doesn’t matter if the screen has a trillion Hz and gets as bright as a supernova, doesn’t matter if the chip is fast enough to simulate the brain of God himself, doesn’t matter if it’s a single atom thick. It does the exact same thing as the old one but a bit faster and looks better doing it.

    Great video! More reviews should be like this rather than reeling off specs, and good comedy too. Already in-depth, but would have loved to see secondary monitor capabilities as well. Currently I have a Mac Mini and purchased an iPad Pro to continue work from my Mac portably (primarily Affinity apps and frequent file management), but the iPadOS limitations and iPad versions of apps are so frustrating, slow and limited, while my M1 Mac Mini is continuously maxing its 8GB RAM and using 30GB of swap resulting in so much slowness. For example, when my contractors send me a PDF via a particular app, I cannot even download it to my iPad.... I actually have to boot up my Mac Mini, download it, add to iCloud, then go back to my iPad. So many dumb things like this.
    I'm thinking of just selling the Mac Mini and iPad Pro and getting an M3 MacBook Pro to replace both instead, hooked up to a monitor at home, while still easy to continue the same workflows when portable. It would be great however if they released a MacBook with a touchscreen and pencil support. The new Surface laptops actually peaked my interest with the touchscreen and detachable keyboard, but I can't stand Windows.

      For me, the macOS environment isn't worth it to switch from an iPad. The iPadOS with M4 COOKS macOS (and leaves other OS like Windows so far behind it's not worth thinking about). I LOVE my iPad and use it for almost every computing task I have. I mostly edit TV broadcasts and livestreams on it, and it encodes videos faster than my MacBook Pro. I'd say unless you're a software engineer and can't script/code in the iPadOS environment, having an iPad Pro is more valuable than a MacBook Pro.

    In many ways, you’re comparing apples to oranges. (No punn intended.) That said, each device and its OS is good for certain things. If I’m editing a “quick and dirty” video, my iPad and Final Cut for iPadOS works just fine. But if I’m editing something more complex, I’m going for Final Cut on my Mac. In my opinion, there is no bad “device”. It just depends on what you’re doing.

    I’m not a pro (no need for MBP), but I enjoy tremendously having a 16” Macbook Pro at home and an iPad Pro 11 for traveling, going outside or using at home as a TABLET. To me, still very different products.

    I have m1 imac and I was planing to buy a MacBook Pro, than I decided to buy ipad. I thought when I need vscode, python, terminal… i can still use my m1 imac. But for daily things watching youtube and so I can enjoy the ipad. Instead of phone. I still don’t know how the final cut experience in this ipad but i have the feeling they made this ipad good to make us subscribe to final cut instead of paying one time. The screen also looks amazing.

    Great video! I know that the iPad works for some, but for years I tried to make it work - and always there is disappointment. Apple calls it a Pro device - but they certainly don’t call their software iPadOS Pro - and for good reason. I mean - you can’t even save a file to the home page for god’s sake. I tried a Surface the other day (keep in mind I’ve been a Mac user since the 80’s). And it was AWESOME. I ordered the new Surface AI PC. And I’m not looking back. It would be great if you reviewed that!

      Be careful with the Surface. They start out amazing and what I have heard is they seem to disintegrate over time. Probably the thermal paste or something wearing out. It’s a shame because its an amazing idea, but they really dont have the consistency of quality control that Apple does overall.

    They need to allow running macOS on the ipad -- but then that might kill their macbook air sales. As far as I am concerned, the two should just be merged together. Everyone knows that iPadOS stifles the ipad. Why can't I run xcode on it and program? It certainly has the power to do so.

    I think it absolutely ridiculous that these $1500 ipads only have a single port (incl charging). I find it equally ludicrous that the Macbook Pros still don't have a touch screen or a legitimate computer OS, especially when literally everybody else does at a quarter the price. I have 2 dozen Apple products including a 64Gb M1 Studio Ultra but those things are the only features I might consider for upgrades.

  • @nategerwitz7717
    @nategerwitz7717 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Greg,
    When talking about price, you have to consider that getting an iPad Pro for a laptop replacement (which is the only justifiable reason for spending that much on a tablet), you are getting 2 devices in one. You’re paying for both a laptop and a tablet. So to say the MacBook wins In that category is misleading. All you get with a MacBook is a laptop. You get 2 devices in the iPad Pro.

  • @alanc6416
    @alanc6416 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    IMO the only thing holding back the iPad Pro is the software, because that’s one area that cannot be rectified using aftermarket gear, such as external IO ports and battery.
    But I think that’s improving with the full featured apps and IO tailed for the iPad and Apple Pencil. It will probably be another few years when I will choose an iPad over my MacBook, but I’m looking forward to that day.
    Stage manager is pretty garbage at the moment, the Mac is a much better multitasking machine, and if the iPad can make a better way of external monitor (or even dual monitor) support, that could be a deciding factor for me.
    It would be really awesome if Apple release an iPad mini Pro that supports external monitor like MacBook, that would be awesome. But that’s probably out of the question.
    25:41 and yes that’s most people who need a MacBook to begin with, like myself, ie i can’t live without a Mac, but can certainly live without an iPad. But my wife has never owned a Mac and really doesn’t need it (except when she does and uses my MacBook few times a year😂😂😂😂)

    It remains a fact, if you want to get stuff done, MacOS is the way to go. Doing 500 Pull-ups to bring the iPad to MacBook level won't work, doesn't save money, heck even the speakers are better if you do nothing but watch TH-cam videos all day.

    For me, the macOS environment isn't worth it to switch from an iPad. The iPadOS with M4 COOKS macOS (and leaves other OS like Windows so far behind it's not worth thinking about). I LOVE my iPad and use it for almost every computing task I have. I mostly edit TV broadcasts and livestreams on it, and it encodes videos faster than my MacBook Pro. I'd say unless you're a software engineer and can't script/code in the iPadOS environment, having an iPad Pro is more valuable than a MacBook Pro.

    What are your thoughts on iPad Pro 13" vs 11"? Struggling to decide what to get to compliment my 16" MBP.
    Want it as a more portable option for travel compared to my 16" MBP. It is not a laptop replacement too me, but I would do video and photo editting on it occasionally. At home it would be for watching content and probably used as a secondary editing screen via Sidecar.
    I've leaned towards 13", but the portability and ease of use of the 11" has me second guessing. If I want to watch content lying in bed, the 13" would likely be too big. The 11" is so much more portable and discreet, but I really like the screensize of the 13"

    • @TheAndersonOBrien
      @TheAndersonOBrien 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If you plan on keeping your Macbook and using the iPad as a secondary device, I would highly recommend just getting the 11 inch iPad Pro. That’s coming from someone who owned a 16inch MacBook and a 12.9 inch iPad Pro together. The iPad becomes so “laptopy” that you get confused as to which product to pick up, leading to either one of the devices not being utilized enough.

I’m not doing any work that requires my MacBook Pro…and seeing as how my MBP is a 2015 model, the iPad Pro outclasses it anyway. I guess what I’m saying is that the new M4 pros in combination with the new magic keyboards, has been the first all in one tablet/laptop that I’ve truly felt is a viable option. iPads will never MacBooks…but the capability of the tasks they were designed for is truly starting to shine IMO. That being said…that tandem oled screen is a feast for the eyes…pornhu…I mean TH-cam and Netflix has never looked this good
