- Diving into my first week with the 11-inch iPad Pro with the M4 chip.
ALL MY FAVORITE GEAR IS LISTED BELOW 👇
I bought the new Space Black iPad Pro as soon as it was announced, and I didn't know what to expect given the M2 iPad Pro already does almost everything I'd expect it to within the bounds of iPadOS. In this video, I dive into my first two weeks with the M4 iPad Pro, this is the base model with the 256GB SSD and 8GB of RAM - let's see how it does!

#apple #ipadpro #m4 - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I'm 82, have used small computers since 1983 (Morrow Micro Decision 1). In the early '90s a buddy got hold of, wow, a 40MHz (?) DOS machine. When I asked him what he wanted to do with all that power, he said, "I just want to sit and watch it and let it blow my socks off." Honest. I got the M2 11 which is major hot chili sauce for my needs. I wanted an M chip for apps that already need it (video editing) or soon will. Other than that I use forScore for music (I sing) and am exploring note-taking (I write). I can't sing or write that fast, but who cares? I want to see it blaze through audio/visual chores.
Wow I was born in 83 and my first computer was a commodore 64
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@tsalikaki Cool. It was a very different world back then. As an editor, I firmly believe the last great editor for wordslingers was WordStar. Stupid that there's such a huge business opportunity that has never been realized. Everybody writes, and many will accept a learning curve as the price of doing it effectively and delightfully.
I’m sure all of us old timers have heard some version of this, but I do recall about 1992 when a coworker confidently asserted: a 386 is all the computer you’ll ever need!
I bought the 11” M4 Pro and I basically replaced my 2017 15” MacBook Pro as of right now. I’m a student and work full time. I use the iPad for blackboard, writing papers, and reading both research papers and all kinds of books. During my free time I love to edit RAW photos I took with the iPhone. I also love watching TH-cam/Netflix on it and love the true blacks. Overall I am content. I haven’t used my MacBook in a while, so let’s see how long I can keep this going.
Ya that’s a pretty dated MacBook I don’t think you’ll be using that again.
Wow I have the same idea! I am a student and I'm going to replace my MacBook Air 2017 with an 11-inch M4 iPad Pro. Even now, I'm using my old iPad 9th-generation all the time and my MacBook only for typing notes ;) Unfortunately, I will be using a normal Bluetooth keyboard from Logitech instead of a Magic Keyboard - it's too expensive ;v I can't wait!
I bought the iPad M4 13" and I'll be honest I'm a sucker when it comes down to drop my money on apple products lol. I owned a MacBook Pro 16, and don't need my iPad to be a MacBook Pro, but after paying 1700 plus for the whole bundle ( Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil pro) I feel like it should be something more interesting about using a iPad Pro, it feels like a giant iPhone.
the only thing I appreciate this iPad is when I open PDF's like Architectural Drawings when I'm working, and when I want to watch something at the couch, like Netflix or TH-cam.( my s24 ultra can do that as well ) with that said, I think apple should create something unique with iPad OS, they don't need to make it a MacBook but they should try something like DEX where it could be a iPad and some sort of Water down Mac OS when Docked. to justify that 1700 plus pice tag 🤷🏻♂
I agree
Just buy the air?
@@eyup26 does the Air have Oled or 120hz display M4 chipset or face id? You don’t get the point
@@usnightm4re i get it you want premium spec with cheap price:) apple just offers the air model for medium need. I also like pros specs but there is the air.
@@eyup26 your just hating and your point make zero sense, so 800 plus dollars difference is justify according to you for an Oled display, 120hz and m4 chip? of course if I want to get the best specs I have to pay to play.
same deal with the MacBook if you want mini LED and 120hz you have to go with the pro even if your not a Pro user.
so by you saying there's the air, your part of the problem on why Apple keeps doing this type of things.
cheap out is not a thing here, but if that's what you believe power to you brother.
Excellent review. Great work!
Computer user since 1978, now retired with an iPad M1, it does 70% of what I want, but wish I could use it same as my Mac Mini, for people retired that would be a big help instead of still having to maintain a Mac OS system.
First time watching your content and I am impressed. In a world of either having someone approach us like a used car salesman or as a cynical self promoting insult machine that trashes everything, it was good to get a thoughtful analysis based on real usage of said device. I subscribed and look forward to viewing more of your tech reviews. 👍
He's right. Really ballanced analysis.
Hey Kyle, where did you got those amazing wallpapers to your iPad Pro? I wanna have one.❤
My 2018 STILL crushing it. 4gb ram and no problems. Only thing that sucks if I can’t get Final Cut Pro, but I use luma fusion and it works SOOOOO good. I get to save my money another year.
Using a 2017 iPad Pro still to produce all of my music and visual art! Time for an upgrade for me though, it's been good. You'll be fine for another year or two.
If you’ve stacked two iPads together, then maybe the other iPad’s camera bump might have scratched the screen on your iPad Pro. This happened a lot to other TH-camrs when unboxing multiple iPhones to compare colors and stacking them on top of each other.
Here, I bought an iPad Pro 13 Inch, 1 TB, Magic Keyboard, and Pencil Pro. Everything is beautifully designed: the OLED screen, the keyboard, the processor speed... But, people, for heaven's sake! Apple still doesn't have the software for such a product! They are trying to sell us a laptop with iPhone software (and we are agreeing to it!). The file system is useless, the cursor is terrible, selection and copy-paste don't work, almost all programs except a few from Apple look just like they do on the iPhone and have extremely minimal baby functions (Capture One, Photoshop, LR...), making them impossible to use. Even for fullscreen mode or closing a window, you have to click three times! Anyone who bought an iPad Pro should return the device to Apple after the WWDC in June, citing the reason: non-existent "pro" software for the iPad "Pro" device!

Just FYI, the iPad Pro has had a lidar scanner since before the iPhone, the 2020 model with A12Z was where it was introduced. It is in-between the flash and the microphone on your old iPad that you had in the shot while describing it.
The iPad Pro is a content consumption device. End of story. Apple never has nor ever will allow it to replace the Macbook. Every year, these review videos are all the same. "Can't Macbook my Ipad Pro." Well, no sheit. I just traded my M1 13" 1tb W/C for a M4 13" 1tb W/C. The screen is amazing and worth the update alone. They also gave me $510 trade-in, 0% financing, and #5 back for using their card. That's a decent deal for 3-5years of use.
Yes, one top creator spins this story about iPads are useless without macOS, and like lemmings, the rest follow. The iPad has always been a BIG iPhone, that is its raison d’etre. It is for users that do not like the experience of doing everything on a six-inch phone (as it sucks). The fact it can do more and has an age-defying chip are bonuses. But many of us buy the Pro as it is the feature-packed iPad and if we are keeping for 5+ years then those luxury specs make it all the better.
It is so annoying that nearly every review we see the nonsense about M4 chip means it should run macOS! I honestly find YT creators reviews less and less relevant.
Bro, EXCELLENT review as always 👌
My personal thoughts, I will always prefer a Macbook pro for pro works rather than a ipad due to ipad OS limitations for pro apps.
I still use my older 2020 ipad pro and it serves all my needs.
I started using it as my computer! It doesn’t fully replace it for music creation but everything else seems okay!
I blows me away that the OS and form factor is the same with a more powerful chip, and people thought day one there would be a different use case? It is built for the future and we must wait on developers to deliver the change in use. I knew that going in. In the meantime, I am enjoying my new screen, speed, and 11 inch instead of my old 13 inch.
I second that!
I think people are just tired of having to say the same thing. The iPad is hampered by the OS.
Awesome evolving hardware. Same crappy limiting OS. 😢
I mean that seems to be the sales pitch of most tech products these days, it’ll be better in the future. This device is out now, and apple put the m4 in an iPad before the Mac so that you’d buy it today. And yet, there’s basically no reason to buy it over last year’s cheaper model.
You buy a product for what it is right now not what the company promises it will be in the future. Apple has had the same promise since the m1 iPad Pro came out and even before that. Smh I think your the own that’s the problem. You need to analyze and see that their marketing promises don’t match the product at all and for the price it’s extremely disappointing for all the optimistic users.
10 days = 2 weeks, got it! Good review
It’s noticeably lighter and more comfortable to hold. I have an M1 iPad Pro and I will definitely be upgrading to the M4.
Great video, thank you. I’ll get the new pencil and a Paperlike screen protector. I don’t use a keyboard but might try one! Thank you!
Hi kyle :) tell me Wath king screen protector you choice for your new M4 ipad pro 13 please ;-)
Great review! I’d be curious too about the small scratches in the corner. So I’m hoping a 3rd party screen protector will be available very soon. Also… I try to wait as long as possible to purchase Apple hardware, because they are a bit expensive. And I don’t want my M4 purchase to be outdated by an M5 or M6 chip in 2027. Thank you for a great video.
I just saw in the back a bunch of Tokien, Pullman, Rowling and sci-fi books! So cool 🤜🤛
Returned mine after a day. The inferior speakers were a deal-breaker.
@KyleErickson I have a question. If the iPad OLED displays need 2 layers (Tandem OLED) to reach 1000 nits for the entire screen, how does the iPhone OLED displays, or some other smartphone displays for that matter manage to reach even more than 1000 nits with just a single layer, regular OLED panel? Some brands like Xiaomi even have smartphones, that reach more than 2000 nits of HDR brightness. Is this only because of the reason that the iPad displays are massive compared to a smartphone display? Or are there any other factors at play?
My first iPad and I got the 11” I think it’s the right size. For reading or really about anything. Screen is amazing I find that I’m not using my phone as much and MacBook hasn’t been used at all. The now Magic Keyboard is amazing as well. This is going to be a great little laptop if apple puts out the right iOS in September we will know more in June if they are taking iPad to a whole new place!
I have the 11” model and an M2 MacBook Air…. While my laptop will be my go to for working this iPad completely revolutionized my media consumption experience…. Taking it on an off the keyboard while still feeling super light in hand….And still also being able to do all the tasks I do for work on the go. I‘ll be traveling next week and I’ll be able to keep up with all my work tasks and edit my photos from the trip on one small device with no sacrifice of experience other than space on the keyboard???
11” M4 is the perfect iPad for anyone. It IS a complete different way to operate than conventional Mac and I love that about it. So easy and simple, yet so powerful underneath. So light you can carry it with you all the time, inside and outside. So versatile it is you can use it for work and fun, at anytime. No booting required, no loading apps required. Touch the screen and you are in instantly.
With the current iPad OS, even the iPad m4 is just a giant phone. It is extremely limited. The price you pay for what you get is dumb and ridiculous. You spent how much for a streaming device? Some people will never learn
@@garettw1678 Exactly that some people never learnt the key difference between iPad and iPhone is just weird. The screen size, and accessories alone like keyboard and pencil make a huge difference in how do you use them, for everything from productivity to leisure (iPad is more suitable), or from phone call to taking photo (iPhone is more suitable).
@@k.vn.k that is the dumbest comment I’ve seen.
Did anyone else notice the screen bending in on itself when Kyle was using the Apple Pencil on the iPad at 10:50 😱 BTW, great video and keep doing tech reviews like these!
Yes I noticed it bending a lot on another m4 video when showing close up drawing
The very first thing I did to my iPad M4 was put a Zagg “InvisibleShield” screen protector on it. The predominant purpose of a tablet is portability, therefore protection against nicks and scratches is paramount.
Why anyone would not protect a $1K+ device escapes my ability to comprehend.
Great video - so much covered here. On the color - It’s actually called Space Black vs Space Gray. I did not care for the black version with excessive fingerprints. I bought the silver and happy with it. I only update my iPad every 4-5 years so this year the M4 made it worth the upgrade - my 3rd gen iPad Pro was already replaced once due to USB-C port issues where it stopped charging. For me, AppleCare+ is a must. Apple now lets you switch to monthly AppleCare+ when your 2 year plan expires or you can just go monthly from day one (for a little bit more). For me, I use my MacBook Pro for work and my iPad for everything else.
Loving my Ipad pro M4. The only thing that sucks is the veeery slow speed of Lumafusion, because exporting stabilized videos is still extremely slow and nearly not usable. Only a single power core seem to be used with Lumafusion still😮
Not even tempted to get the M4 iPad Pro at this point. I have the 12.9 M1 version and got it to do animation type work. I end up just using my MacBook and the IPad has become a TH-cam and Netflix machine with a few games here and there. I tried having it be a laptop replacement but that went bad. Just never feels right and its the OS just not built to do these things. Honestly might just sell it and my MacBook and upgrade the MacBook to a 16” vs 14”.
Hey can you please tell me where that wallpaper in your iPad is from
I bought 13inch, its not complete laptop replacement but it can do most computer basic jobs with better interface.
Its just brighter and faster than the last gen. Nothing too exciting
Subbed immediately after seeing the SN Now logo. Loyal to the Oil. Oil in 6. Good video too😂
It’s impractical to move my entire workflow to one device. So, it’s nice to have two devices with slightly different capabilities. Three if you count the phone; the three work extremely well together.
Can you do an updated studio display review?
I don't know why people are so in awe of an iPad Pro. Every pro model offers the same user experience and it's never going to be a laptop replacement. It's a tablet to view content for 99% of the population and for this group they don't need the latest model.
For a lot of people, it is a laptop replacement. It doesn’t matter how you use it. And history has shown that many people buy loaded iPads simply because they want one. And again, it doesn’t matter how you use it. Just because it’s classified as a tablet doesn’t mean it can’t replace an actual laptop. Unfortunately, in our tech culture, specific use cases seem to dictate what a laptop/non-laptop is, which is not accurate. And since I’m going down that road, it also doesn’t determine what a computer is either because everything is a computer.
All this makes me wonder how many people buy loaded MacBooks just to check email and watch Netflix. 😂
Please tell me how things are with the battery life on the iPad Pro 13" M4?
I don’t like the battery life on my iPad Pro 12.9" M2, when i watch TH-cam on it via Wi-Fi, the battery percentage melts before your eyes...
Does the iPad Pro 13" M4 last longer when watching TH-cam videos, Netflix, etc.? Or does it have the same battery life as the iPad Pro 12.9" M2?
I'm very happy with it my only complaints is the speakers could use a little more base, but they are better than the previous iPad Pro, and they should have changed the orientation of the Apple logo on the back and the iPad Pro writing under it
We keep asking if an iPad can replace a laptop. Apple has no interest in truly consolidating the devices - Apple is quite happy that we buy both.
An Oilers fan?! Awesome. Hello from Edmonton!
I'm considering the iPad Pro M4 for one simple reason: I'm a site engineer and I'd like a device with a screen that I can see outside. My current device is the iPad Air 3 (2019), but it's now starting to feel old for what I do.
Narrator: It was exactly what it seemed
also narrator: "let's talk about buttered sausage"
Does it has the same bezels like the m1 iPad pro?
Thanks Kyle for your extensive explanation on a number of features on the iPad Pro M4 😊 I agree with you, that the M4 (which I don’t have just yet) needs more to show off what it really can do with all that power. Right now, I still use an iPad Pro 11” M1 and put it to good use, along with Astropad Studio for designing. Yes, the Pencil Pro is better than the one I use (2nd generation), but apparently only works with the M4 models, which must be a bummer for people having forked out on the M2 and a second generation Apple Pencil :/ But to be honest, I know I will -somewhere in the not too distant future- upgrade to the M4 sooner or later. (And yes, an Pencil pro probably as well) ;)
But how many people complained about tablet thickness or screen brightness?
I do hear complaining about scratch resistance, cost, multi-tasking, and iOS limitations and it seems like they have done little to adress those concerns.
The vast majority of users don't need this iPad Pro M4.
I enjoyed the comment, “Algorithmic Devil Magic.” Nice touch.
where can i get the wallpaper thats on your thumbnail
Which i pad pro 13 which keyboard and case do u recommend
I purchased the 13" M4 Ipad Pro with cellular and absolutely love it. I don't need it to replace my 16" MacBook Pro - but I do love it for what I use it for as an Ipad. Apple has developed such an enormous following that fans will upgrade to the new devices, even if they don't need to.
I ordered the cellular m4 texture model as well from my mobile provider but they aren’t able to ship until aug 2nd :/
What’s the thing with that Lidar scanner? My iPad Pro M1 already had one 🤔
It’s pretty cool. The AR feature is pretty cool when measuring stuff, especially rooms. When we bought our apartment I used the Ikea app to decorate the apartments we looked at just to gage vaguely how much furniture the place can handle. You can also scan objects and import them to nomad sculpt and continue sculpting and refining the object. It’s niche use case, but nice.
In terms of creating graphics files that scale up beautifully and can be exported in different file formats and/or converted to vector images… The iPad can’t be beat. If you draw or if you have a printmaking background you will be blown away by what you can do with the iPad and some of the apps like Procreate or Affinity design suite. Having said that, when it’s time to output to the printer, I find I need to switch to the Mac for layout and printing.
It's the hockey highlights for me
What format of Hard drive is needed to work smoothly on iPads? Should it be in Fat32 or NTFS or AFPS?
APFS
You may use APFS or exFAT, but please not Hard Droves anymore😅
@@LeicaM11 Only External SSD?
I would like to know what happens with a virtual Windows 11ARM and with an always virtual MacOS Sonoma if it cannot be done otherwise
Couldnt decide which to get so purchased both and spent a week toying and comparing the two sizes and screen quality etc. Although i love the 11" for its compactness, its the 13" that won the crown for its screen estate and it's other qualities therefore returned the 11". If i want a smaller screen ill use my iphone 15 Pro Max.
I don't have an iPad, but I love the idea of the dual-Iayer OLED display. I was wondering if anyone with the 13" M4 could share what the display and unit overall feels like after an hour or two of heavy use (CPU/GPU)... specifically the operating temperature (not the color temp of the dispIay). Does it get really warm?
Been looking for a tablet to replace my still working Ipad Air 2. New Pro and Air both seem good but as long as Ipad OS is the limiting factor, upgrading when my primary use is limited to YT and some Google Docs still remains pointless 🙈
The LiDAR Scanner was already there
I would never own an iPad without a tempered glass screen protector. Those prevent the scratches. I also lightly blow on the tip of the Apple Pencil before using it just for this very reason. It's really easy to do little tasks like that to make sure you don't scratch your super expensive screen. And a good screen protector won't impact the screen quality in any way....and is still a lot cheaper to replace if something does happen.
I picked up the 13” M4, and I personally think it’s too large for me. Unless you plan on using it at home I don’t think I’d be using it during my commutes, or at work. I may return it, and get the 11”
the 11 inch looks perfect for commuting.
I thought the same but it takes time to get used to it, I can’t go back to the smaller screen
Yes, 11-inch is ideal for out and about.
I sized down and glad I did
@@deanemberley2333 The funny thing is I looked at the 11”, and it seems to small. I’d like the base model to be about 12” in size. That’d be perfect!
Great device for a sales rep. Overpowered for what I use it for, but I love the display and MKB. Glad they moved the FT camera position. I'll use it for Zoom calls now. I still leave photo and video editing to the MBP. Appreciate your content Kyle!
6 Millimeter is a bit thick for a pane of glass. This is more of a safety Glass thickness. Usually they are around four
@Kyle, did you ever place your iPhone over the surface of the screen? The sapphire on the camera module could leave scratch on it.
not that I'm aware of, that's interesting though!
@@KyleErickson it actually happened on my second phone which I stack them while I was carrying. So, beware! 😉
The main use case of the iPad is content consumption and occasionally light “productivity work”. If you plan to use it as a productivity tool it totally baffles me as to why somebody would go for it especially since price-wise is at MacBook levels. I did not get why the the Face ID had to move also . Makes it so frustrating when using it in portrait mode which is what I do
Thanks for another informative, balanced review Kyle. Bummer about that scratch, that would bother me too. In my usual fashion I took advantage of the new releases and purchased the last gen iPad Air when the price dropped.
That's a great device!
Pretty excited for WWDC to see the amazing changes to iPad OS which will unleash all the M4 chip power, we are nearing exciting times for the iPad !!!!!!!
We've been saying that for several years now and nothing comes out of it. iPad os will always come short
There is a huge flaw with the M4 Ipad Pro in combination with this keyboard. Apple went all-out with making it thin and light. Beyond caring for you as a customer. The keyboard is metal and keys, with ZERO room between all this metal and the display. Easy to check at the store. ANY grain of sand or other hard material getting in between will instantly scratch the screen (and metal). Watching your video it appears to explain the "strange" scratches you discovered, The Keyboard is flawed. The reason: "Let's make it thinner (and lighter) than the competition!” (=Samsung's S9 Ultra) So I would get it insured by Apple and make them pay for fixing their own mistakes.😂
Yeah unless the new software wows me, my iPad Air m1 is perfect for me now. No extra expense and I can get a keyboard cheaper too.
where can i buy a new m2 ipad in the us ?
Thanks Kyle solid review. Great display and processing speed. Even so you’d think anyone who can craft a chip capable of performing 38 trillion calculations a second would add another port and create a battery that lasts longer than a work day? Meantime I’m livin’ the dream that someday software will come?
As an artist / web designer I do not envy people who have no use case for the iPad and buy it just to try and justify it later 😬
Every review is so similar wish people would get more creative on their reviews we all know the specs by now and would rather see how cool it is and what you use it for
Are you saying “wait for a short time” before purchasing this iPad? Patience isn’t my strong suit but I can wait a little while! Thanks!
I upgraded from the mini 6 to the 11” m4, still trying to get use to the size difference but the oled is beautiful and 120htz is so nice!
The fact that even with this new cutting edge hardware there’s nothing actually new that you can do, only makes my “old” M1 iPad Pro age better and better. Thanks Apple for not giving me a reason to upgrade. I’ll spend my money elsewhere.
I always throw on a glass screen protector the second it comes out of the box
The scratch on the screen is likely from when you stacked the iPads, the camera lens from one scratched the screen of the other. I had something similar happen a few years ago when I put 2 iPads in 1 bag.
I don’t really get it when people say the software “doesn’t take full advantage” of the hardware, as if regular usage disables parts of the M4 or something. Is that what it means? Or is it more along the lines that people aren’t “taking full advantage” of their car unless the suspension is at its weight limit and the engine is constantly red-lining? What does it mean to “take full advantage” of a computer? How do I do it on my smartwatch?
It means that people are saying "The M1 chip is really all we need. Please apple stop boosting the hardware, no one is asking for that and instead focus on better software."
The more time passes and apple keeps upping the hardware of the Ipad (imagine one day having the M10 in the ipad) while still not significantly upgrading ipadOS more and more people are going to ask
"How is this any different from my M1 ipad?"
It's hard to get excited about opening the YT-app 0.001 seconds faster.
No the keyboard is flawed. It is metal and leaves ZERO room between it and the display. Meaning: scratch heaven/hell.
"Not taking full advantage of the hardware" e.g. : iPad supports external monitor. But artificially nerfed by iPad Os to not be able to change orientation to portrait. If it did I would be able to use portrait references better on this second portable screen. But Nop.
Another one: Try doing file management. It takes unnecessary taps to do something that could be done with 1 shortcut. But Nop. Gotta grind your way thru taps and swipes and taps and menus to move a bunch of files.
Neither of these things are deal breakers. But that's exactly the point. IPad Os makes you feel (artificially) limited no matter if the hardware is miles ahead.
Is iPad Pro 11 M4 compatible with AirPods Max ?
Editing and creating documents on the iPad is much better than on the Mac. Between pen functionality and being able to touch the screen to move text boxes and photos around, it’s just a much smoother and faster experience. Since 90% of my job is creating and editing documents, the iPad has completely replaced my MacBook.
The only thing I will miss is keyboard and mouse support for GeForce now for the times when I occasionally game.
Thanks for this perspective. Which app are you using?

Not nitpicking, but just wanted to call out since you mentioned that the “3nm M4 chip resulted to smaller components inside” which isn’t 100% accurate. Yes, the 3nm process allows the M4 to pack more processing power in a denser area of transistors, but Apple normally increases the number of transistors for every chip iteration which results to a much faster processor clock speed. For instance, the die size of A14 (5nm) is actually bigger than A12 (7nm).
For the iPad Pro M4, the main contributor for the shrink in height is the Tandem OLED panel and the new front camera sensor.
Is anyone using this product much for video editing or animation? If so how do you find it?
Using the native Note app on my iPad Pro m4 sucks the battery life out of my device if using for 10-15 continuously and makes it heat up quite a bit. Unacceptable. Notability doesn’t do that when using. Notability just doesn’t have the new pencil pro features yet.
MacBook is still just the better option for most workloads. I will say the iPad is a great complimentary device to my workflow. But more times than not I find myself going to MacBook to get projects done. I find the iPad for me to end up being a content consumption device rather than content production device. Great review and looking forward to WWDC !
It's return window time. LOL
I’ve never had any scratches from using the pencil on the screen. I had a habit of wiping the screen clean before I use the pencil to draw. I don’t take notes because typing is way faster than hand writing. Screen protector just ruin the clarity of the screen and ad extra weight. The new speakers are worse than the M2 Pro. 5:18
I’m getting this iPad regardless bc it’s time to change my old 2018 iPad Pro. And when I get it I won’t change it again until it’s no longer useful.
The iPad Pro has had a LiDAR camera on them since the 4th gen.
M2 pro also has P3 color space and Lidar.i hoped the pro pencil would be backward compatible to m2 pro. - pricing on 2024 high enough that i’m not tempted enough by the new pro pencil, not enough trade off the still excellent M2 pro.
It just needs a fully functional Excel and a programming environment with a fully functional package manager.
Then I coukd use it as my main device.
Ive seen alot of these videos and overall the MacBook will always out number performance in iOS/Ipad but it is much cheaper and the graphics are just as good I'm not saying its a ful replacement but it can be an option
It’s been a while that I’ve used the iPad pros but if you asked me which device out of a desktop, iPad or iPhone and if you could only choose one, I would choose the iPad Pro.
I’m having issues with my WiFi going in and out on the tablet. Have you or anyone else experienced this problem?
Too bad about the scratches. But if you put a tempered glass screen protector on it, those scratches will disappear. If you get a quality glass such as Spigen, it will feel like the naked screen. At least, I don't feel any difference.
ALWAYS!!! Buy a screen protector before you handle the iPad.
Never had a problem since.
You can either get a skin or a case for your Ipad.
2:42 can't believe you made me re-live that disappoint g7, man.
Halt and Catch Fire tshirt 👌
Kyle ...i am sure you would be happier with an extra 2 inches ..😮
I definitely wanted to use it for editing but it seems it’s more of a casual thing. I definitely would like to be super productive with it but I think I would just be on my MacBook Pro instead. For this reason I may not purchase it.
