11 inch is for people who have it in their hands all the time and use it more like a tablet. People who work on it at a desk wont have problems with the big size.
Explained it very well👌
I use it in both way i use it for gaming on. A desk and i take it to college for studying and taking notes which one is the best for me
@@Kurrdddiiii If you game at the desk and have it lying down the big one would be better, if you have to hold it in any way the smaller one is better and will be fine for college
What if smaller one has good personality 😢?
I’m sure we could find a small case for the small iPad.
@this_world.s_test 😂😂 for real
@@daniyal._ I've seen you somewhere. Hi!
@@LaxmannDhotre haha! Hey! Small world!

Entertaining and informative and down to earth. No “benchmarks, no “honest review” no “what apple didnt tell you””. Just a description of real life use comparisons. Please do the next 2 videos! PS Your daughters are very sweet.
I have an 11 inch and like it a lot, but I do something I didn’t see you do in your video. I hold it to interact with it. I use it to read books, comics, the internet while on the couch. But yeah, if I just had the thing propped up all the time I too would prefer the 12.9 inch, but I have a Mac for those times.
Honestly, the 11 is way easier to cart around as a pastor. I really wanted the 12.9 for its screen (pre OLED), but I needed the extra portability when I don’t want to use my backpack.
I had a 12.9 inch iPad Pro and traded it in for an iPad mini. My MacBook is used for laptop things, the iPad mini handles all tablet tasks
We really need an OLED Macbook Air.
@@budthecyborg4575we really need a OLED iPad mini
@@budthecyborg4575 Not possible. Get the Macbook pro or the Ipad pro for 1500 dollars :) Or just get a windows laptop
I am a big iPad man. I have used the 12.9” ever since it first launched in 2015. I use in every aspect of my life including TH-cam, office work, video and photo editing, browsing on the couch, and playing music (electronic manuscript). For 3-years I was iPad only, but today use in conjunction with an 16” MacBook Pro. The iPad Pro is my favourite computer device.
Dude, your cinematography really rocks. The transitions are AWESOME!
When I first switched to the 12.9in size, I feel like it's a breath of fresh air. 11in is too small now.
And oh boy the new OLED is worth the extra. Honestly, it's so much lighter and brighter. I never use any case with the ipad and the feeling of holding the new thin ipad is something I called magical.
"Sleep on it... with your wife" 😂😂 bruh
That can be so easily taken out of context
7:01 that random scream from your wife caught me offguard lol, but I'm so happy for you guy's. Because commenting, liking, sharing and rewatching your videos are currently the only ways that i can support your mission.
Congratulations on your success, Samuel. I can't wait for this channel to blow up. 🚀
I didn't think the M4 pro 2024 weight would make a difference to me. But it does. Much easier to handle.
You are the best tech reviewer I have even seen, on yt for a decade and it doesn't even feel like I am watching a tech product review
1:01 when you forget to end the loop while coding, the output:
I use my M4 11 for all the use cases you described, email, numbers documents, PDF's etc. I've never felt constrained and I carried a 12.9 for 2 years so I have a point of reference. Prefer the more compact size and I have the M3 14" MBP.
I wasn't excited about the premise of the video but as always, Samuel and his family are incredibly entertaining. Another hit!
With regard to the video's primary focus, the real estate is definitely the only reason to go with the bigger iPad. I have the 11" M1 iPad Pro and use it very much the way Sam used it in this video.
And let's be honest - working on spreadsheets completely sucks unless you're on a desktop computer. a 16" laptop is second.
Continue what you do. You deserve support. 🎉❤
_ Follow you from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
you are a different content creator with this fun energy you will celebrate the 1 Mil easy my friend :) keep up the fun videos
Interesting point of view, I used to have the 12.9 inch M1 pro and sold it when i got the m4 11 inch and I really enjoy the smaller form factor more, using it for admin and photo/video editing + graphic design work alongside my 14 inch m3 max. honestly I prefer the size and portability way more. I guess they really made the best decision to provide 2 sizes as they will sell a shitload more of them, there is a perfect size for all :).
Killer vid as usual Samuel !
I've had the 12.9" before and it's too chonky for me. Might as well cart around my MacBook Pro at that point. I use my iPad more on the sofa than my desk and the 11" is by far the way to go.
Congratulations getting the exact funding you needed for your trip, that’s great!
This was a really useful video and I really love your personality and video style. Pls your fam is super adorable and the work you all do for the world is fantastic. I subscribe 😊
Background music had me dancing on my feet watching & snapping my fingers, great Ipad video hahahahahaah
Not totally agree.I have both 12.9m2 iPad pro and 11 m4 iPad pro.
The 12.9 is better only if you are planning to use it with a keyboard ALL THE TIME, and once you take it away and use it as a tablet that’s where the nightmare starts, it’s very uncomfortable using it hand handheld machine.
And since iPadOS is very limited to use as laptop machine, I ended up not using the 12.9” much. A MacBook air 13” + iPad 11” would be the perfect combination imo
I've always had the 11" but got the 12.9" this year and really enjoying it. I used it for sheet music at times and it's much easier to see. That being said just daily use is pretty nice as well and the new ones are so thin it's not difficult to hold IMHO.
This is very interesting. I had the 12.9” M1 since it launched but found myself not using it as much. I really wanted it to be my main computer but never could get away from my MacBook. I recently sold it on eBay and originally bought an 11” M4 but could not justify dropping that much money. I ended up buying an 11” M2 on eBay for 1/4 the cost of the M4 and still had money in my pocket from the sale of the 12.9” M1. I find myself actually using my iPad more now. If I ever stopped doing my regular job and could live with an iPad as my only device, I could see going back to the larger size but right now I’m just letting the iPad be the iPad!
Bro you better hit 200k subs before the end of the year. Your channel is so UNDERRATED!!😂👏🏾👏🏾
Have you considered trying the Samsung Galaxy Tab Ultras (especially S8 and S9 Ultra)? The screen is 14.6" and the aspect ratio helps even more with screen real estate.
they are the best monitors for windows, but he uses Macs, and the only solution there is Duet, and does not always works great with Android
@@_Digitalguyyes I agree with that, when I choose a device to buy I like to pick the device that is convenient to use with my personal computer, instead of picking the best quality device that is hard to work with my computer.
@@_Digitalguy no they are other solutions for Android + MacOs
@@chromaticvisuelle which ones?
Man. I really enjoy your videos. My eyes burned when I saw "o" instead of "oz" when listing weight in freedom units but I'm always glad to see an upload from you.
lol noted. Oz it is going forward.
Definitely the 12.9 for the real estate. You don't realise how handy it is when it comes to running certain apps and consuming media.
Plus it’s light as a feather ❤
See it all depends on you. Me I have the 13 inch M4 because it’s literally replacing a laptop for me. I truly don’t do anything serious that I would need a MacBook for. But if I did need a MacBook then I would get the 15 inch air and 11 inch m4..But again I don’t need a MacBook.
I upgraded from a Tab S8 to a Tab S9+ and I feel mostly the same. The larger screen makes most things more comfortable and nice to do in most scenarios, especially since I use it a lot for writing math stuff.
However, it's a little too big to hold comfortably. I found it a bit too large and unwieldy to use while playing games. Reading manga and stuff can feel a little bit too big at times. I need glasses, so the bigger image means that I have to back up to read comfortably, but then the image becomes blurry because of the distance when attempting to read without glasses.
"Does size matter"
"Yes"
-My girlfriend, probably.
I mostly use my iPad for work meetings and related work stuff. Had an 11 inch and sold it for a 12.9 inch. Honestly there's a huge difference when you need to multitask. Generally I have notes on one side, a browser/pdf on the other side, with a slide over chat/photo app. The 11 inch is just too small! And for things like reading books, the iPad mini makes more sense.
Another great video as always. I must say, my iPad mini gets used far more than 12.9 iPad pro with magic kb. Perfect for media consumption, note taking and some urgent work on the go.
really good points, thank you - I’m tempted to buy a 12.9 to upgrade in a couple months but I’ll stick with the 11 😊👍
Now I’m even more sure that I should trade my 11 inch to 12.9 inch, as I use it at home mostly and as the second display a lot.
I should check prices for m1, m2, m4 iPads and differences in their specs to decide what to buy. Usually I buy an iPad for 5 years, as there is no sense to change it. But my iPad Pro is only 4 years old :)
Thank you your videos!
To me the question is never 11 inch vs 12.9 inch iPad, but:
1. 12.9 inch iPad vs 13 inch MacBook Air, or even 15 inch MacBook Air?
2. MacBook Pro 16 inch pair with 12.9 inch iPad with some kind of stand smart cover for the usage of sidecar or MacBook Pro 16 inch pair with 11 inch without Smart Cover just use iPad as a writing/drawing pad, which one have the balance between carrying weight and enough screen space? ESPECIALLY if I consider to carry a mirrorless camera with me.
I had a 12.9” for a while and it was amazing at the desk… but a massive pain to use as a tablet. The 11” is great as a tablet, but kinda cramped on the desk.
TLDR: the 11” is a tablet solution with the benefit of desktop use and the 12.9” is a desktop solution that can kinda double as a wonky tablet in a pinch.
Always love your vids! As for the paid tickets, that was an absolute boss move from whoever that was. Epic! As for size on IPads, I´d pick the big one every day of the week 🙂
Your coffee donation is helping my country Bangladesh. Thanks. ❤
Having both then can use the right size for the right situation. for 12.9 better go with the oled since there is a huge weight difference, and it's great for watching shows or airplay or when u just need a large canvas. I like 11 as a step up from ipad mini with poco Pin Keyboard when I'm doing simpler work. If I do bring out an mba, then ipad mini makes sense for its weight
I’m taking my hat off to you for that integration sir. Bravo 👏🏼
1 tb hdd gets 16 gb ram. That matters the most. And the bigger one is better as a daily driver. I successfully replaced my laptop (still have a pc at home) with my ipad pro like two versions ago :)
Another perspective.... invest the cost difference between the 11 and 12.9 into a cellular 5G version of the 11. We found a good unlimited dedicated data plan on the tablet and having cellular on the IPad was great out and mobile because you also get GPS. so on trips my wife is co-piloting while I drive the RV. It saves the battery on her phone because she doesn't have to hot spot all the time. Also.... because most of the consumption activities are on the iPAD the phone can live with a limited dataplan.
The kids have spoken!!
Thank you for giving us quality content for free.
Definitely needed this video.. going back to school next Monday and need a bigger iPad for all the typing I’ll be doing for my college courses. I have the iPad Air 5th gen but now it’s time to trade it in for the iPad Air 13inch 🙌🏾😌
I use my iPad 11 inch as a tablet and it is always in my hands and I bring it everywhere (easy to carry). I love it and if I need computer things I can use my 16 inch MacBook Pro. I very rarely use my iPad as a second screen tho
I think this question is quite easily answered, ngl. You’ll want the 11-inch if you want an amazing tablet. Something you can easily hold in one hand for hours on end to consume content and browse on, the somewhat wider aspect ratio also helps with video (though OLED has made the black bars on the 13-inch a bit less annoying than before as there’s no more blooming (or greys if you have a pre-miniLED model)). The 11-inch is also easier for note taking tasks with the Pencil, etc. Again, portability is key here. Smaller footprint means it takes less space on your desk, if you put it down to write on.
However, if you want a more laptop-like experience, go for the 13-inch with the magic keyboard, the extra screen is great, etc and the trackpad and keyboard size matters if that’s what you use a lot. In other words, if you want to use an iPad the majority of the time as a device in combination with the Magic Keyboard, get the 13-inch. I also understand Artists will want the bigger screen over the smaller one.
As some others have pointed out, the weight of the new 13-inch is dramatically reduced, making it easier to hold as a tablet, but I do feel the size is still “too gd big” if you’re primarily using it as a tablet. You’ll want something smaller that’s not taking up all of your personal space.
Personally, I solved this issue by wasting my savings and buying both. But don’t be like me, pick the one that matches your use case most and accept the drawbacks of either when you use it for the other use-case.
If your looking to draw, or watch movies, need room for a sidebar or need two, three windows open, without any slowin, stuttering or any other thing besides it’s freaking a awesome Apple device ❤
i just discovered you and i can't stop watching ...... duuuuude it's been 7 day i need a new video
Great video! I would probably choose the 12.9-inch. Congrats on 100K🎊
If you are a student, you should definitely get an 11 inch one
"Unless I need to make the kids go quiet..." 💀💀💀😂😂😂
I like the 12.9 and have been using it since 2018. The 11-inch screen seems small to me in comparison after using the 12.9 screen for so long. Mine is mostly on my desk though. I'm glad Apple gives us a choice. I just wish they'd do something to make multitasking better.....
What about battery? Is it the same for both iPads?
The 12.9 and larger are great for seeing the more of the timeline in DAWs and video editing apps. Also the smaller you go the more eyestrain right? Protect your eyes peeps. 😢
woah you already 102K now 😂❤🎉
edit: dear will you blur your kids’ face?
Perfect timing. Searching for an Ipad for school and university currently.
iPad with the Magic Keyboard really hinders the use. It takes away the portability which is why I love my Smart Folio aftermarket case
The thumbnail alone is epic
"And then this for a day" never gets old
Ipad as a Netflix machine 12.9 inch is way better , most of the content only fits like 50% of the screen so in bigger screen makes a difference.
Watch your video: get the 13” iPad
Watch other TH-camrs: Switch from 13” to 11”, and they decided the 11” is what they prefer.
Haha - it all comes down to use-case and preference.
Thanks for the fun video
Nice one Sam. i did a similar exercise 2017 ipad pro (10.5") the 2022 ipad pro (12.9"). I use the small one for low importance locations and mainly media. The 12.9 is for serious engineering and research. I still like the little guy - it is still immersive and less important if i drop it on a rock. I was very very upset when the ipad air (13") came out this year. If i'd waited 9 months, could have saved a bomb and for me-the performance would have been fine.
Honestly, I would love another iteration of the iPad mini. If I need something that big I'd just use a laptop.
11” if you plan on moving around the house with it… 12.9” if you plan to leave it stationary most of the time
I believe dependin on what you’re doing with the devices that’s when size matters bcause to be honest, I love my iPad mini. Can’t wait for the mini 7 to drop.
Your experience is mostly desktop usage, not tablet. From a tablet perspective 12.9 is too big and heavy, i have m1 big ass boy and its not comfy to use in a subway to watch movies or creating some keynotes or notes with it, its too big and heavy in hands, picked it only because of miniLED and will switch to m4 pro 11" when it will cost reasonable amount of money
Really looking forward to the Mac OS iPad video!!! And I have a M1 12.9 iPad with the Magic Keyboard and I would go for it any time again!
It's not too heavy when you hold it with your hands/arms as a tablet instead of a laptop replacement?
Always creative videos. 12.9 is good but i like to use in bee or couch on my lap. 12.9 os too unstable in my use case. My dilemma has been iPad Air m1 256gb vs Ipad Pro M2 11 inch 256, which are $250 apart. Im feeling like keeping cheaper Air to make MBP m3 pro 14 inch feel less expensive.
that was an amazing donation, God is love.
Size doesn’t matter, it matters how you use it
Apple is more then capable of turning the 13 inch into a full blown macbook but the software keeps the ipad bottleneck
You crossed a 100k subs! Congrats dude 🎊
and here's me ..hoping Apple gives some attention to the mini so i can finally upgrade and get the all-screen, no home button, boxy design iPad
Be honest, those 200 kg where purposefully inserted into that particular shot, weren't they?😄 At the end of the day, the size depends on how you use your iPad. I don't really use mine for productivity, just for content consumption, so I value portability, which is why the 11" size is perfect for me (and cheaper!). The 12.9" size is definitely great for all that additional real estate, especially if you're using it as a second monitor. If I want productivity on the go, I've got my Zephyrus G14.
I got 12.9 inch iPad Pro a few years ago, it’s sitting in the shelf and since then, 3 of my iPad Pro are all 11 inch. 13 inch is just too big for me. I use my M1 MacBook Pro to do everything else, I use my M4 IPad Pro as my chill tablet. Tried the iPad Air, never liked the finger print to login, I’m lazy, I prefer the face recognition, and beside, this ipad is so thin now. I just hand down the other 2 of my iPad Pro 11 inch; however, the 12.9 inch, no one wants a hand me down big ipad. Haha. Maybe I should just sell it.
I have the mini, 11” and 12.9” and only the mini and 12.9 get any use. The 11” is too large to comfortably type on the screen while holding but too small for productivity. Stage manager is useless on anything but the 12.9”.
Why have a keyboard on your second monitor with either form factor? 😂 For what it’s worth I use the 11 inch for work every day simply because it more portable and lighter. Looking to move to the M4.
Teleprompter: Text size is too small, as with Teleprompters it‘s supposed to be only two or three Words per Line.
And the size of the Line breaks are too small as well. They shouldn’t be so close.
Wondering why this was ever a video that need to be made my first ipad in 2017 was 12.9 and any smaller is just wrong. I have the 2018 11 inch and have been trying to sell it off for 2 years tried the mini much too small for art. Yes I always recommend the 12.9 and always get refurbished or renewed its apple so their products hold up. Always love your videos. ZUGU cases are really nice.
You should try the iPad Mini. Think of it as a big phone instead of an extended laptop display.
Built a desk in 25 minutes lol that would take 3 hours for me
you are amazing, in every you do. All my congratulations 🎉
11 and 12.9 have the same oled technology now, harder to choose!
Yeah I feel you. I kind of like have both sizes lol. When I want a tablet only, I take 11. When I want to do anything else, I take 12.9.
"Sleep on it... with your wife" 😂😂 bruh
what happened with the xreal 2? Did you stop using them and if u did why did u stop?
Kinda did me a favor with this video haha, have been unsure which to choose
You should try using the 12 inch macbook for a week
I've got a 12.0 inch tablet, it feels spacious coming from a 10 inch one.
3:15 I really hate this quick wear of the mac's keyboards... really low quality. Nice travel and feel, but the cover of the keys is trash... On my Macbook pro it looks the same only after couple of months of usage...
Love you videos bro
Bro I need that digital whey , what brand is it ? Cheers
7:23 5K + Donation 😂🎉❤❤❤
What brand is the 11” case from. It’s so cool that you can snap that case on the Magic Keyboard 🤩
Link to that case in description. It's so good.
@@thesamuelnam Thank you, you eventually also mentioned the name of the case at the end of the video 😁.
I did a consideration when i choose the size of the screen .
I have a phone that it's close to 7 inch good enough for my use but on a tablet i would most do things i do on a laptop or a desktop so the space is necessary no point to get a thing just 3 4 inch bigger than a modern phone.
Especially if you are editing multiple documents , drawing with reference , using complicated application with a lot of features and a big interface more space you have the better .
I think 13 or 14 inch are the perfect size bigger than that would make the tablet difficult to use and manage .
It's not about the size it's how you use it
