Now, I know there will be loads more things that people would have wanted 'tested' in this video but, alas, a fully comprehensive iPad replacing laptop video would have been logistically impossible whilst away in Italy. So, here's your chance to share what features, apps, or user experiences you'd like me to test out next time! One, two, three... COMMENT! 😉
I tried to use iPad pro as a my daily on the go device, but it takes double the time to complete a simple task compared to a real laptop. And plus the limitations of the browser without the power of the extensions was a huge disappointment for me
@@Jimmyfly215 I want to code and download full desktop apps on the iPad. It can totally do it, they just don't want it to. As it is right now, I can only justify buying an iPad Pro if you're an artist and take advantage of the Apple Pencil. Otherwise, it's just a big iPhone. iPhones are overpriced smartphones. Hence, the iPad is an overpriced big smartphone.
@@NM-ht8dz okay. I would disagree that it’s just a big phone. But not everyone codes and I can’t see why programmers would want to on an iPad., and millions of apps are developed for iPad. It’s to each of the user preference. I do agree, iPadOS has been underwhelming. Stage manager is bad, just bad. Also, even the M1 Pro is not capable of meeting its ceiling. So I can’t expect a M4 to do it.
I’m sure it all depends on what you do for a living, but as someone in the white collar/business travel world, the iPad is plenty to get me through a travel week. I also have the MacBook Pro as my laptop so sure there are differences, but personally I can get away with working from the iPad like 70% of the time.
I haven't used the latest paperlike screen protector but with what it would do to the clarity and contrast of the tandem oled display, it feels like a crime to put it on an m4 iPad pro. I admit that it feels a lot worse to write on glass as the screen grabs on your palm and it leaves visible grease on the screen.
My workaround if there’s any software limitation (like MS powerpoint in ipad doesnt let me edit the way I used to in MacOS) is to use remote computing. I don’t need to bring any laptop, just my M4 and I forgot I was doing work in an iPad.
I don’t understand why folks that primarily use the iPad with Magic Keyboard don’t use the Coverbuddy. To me it’s been a game changer especially when removing to write notes. The ability to not worry about losing the pencil when removing or placing back into a bag is priceless
I am currently watching this on my IPad Pro, not the new one but the 6th generation. I also have a MacBook Air, which both are very capable of many things. They can’t replace each other fully, but the OS really screws it over imo. They have a lot of potential that I feel like is restricted by some of the dumbest things.
I don’t need MacOS on the iPad. What I need is something like Samsung DEX (Desktop Experience) I know that the iPad has Stage Manager but at the current moment is not it. MacOS is not build on a touch screen interface rather than giving us a half bake OS I rather something else. That is my take on it.
I use my ipad 10 instead of my stationary computer. I write my job applications there, I read and write all my mails. There are still a few things that I use my computer for, gaming is one. But my standard ipad 10 with a nice keyboard is my main man.
Hi! I wish I only did light work on my computer like you so I could just use an iPad...... but I use MSI packaging, intone packaging, powershelgl scripting and management so I in fact need to use BOTH a PC and a Mac to get my work done. I do intone publishing for Mac apps too and run VMs on both OSs to test policy settings login flows and software distribution and create instructions manuals and how-tos with screenshots from both environments... Sure, I DO own an iPad Pro too and iPhones and android devices for testing pretty much app packages and policies on them too for our customers, but I could NEVER manage with just an iPad. im happy you said "for some" but id say for a few. no one in IT infrastructure and support will manage with an iPad... but you would almost manage with an iPhone...
I would never recommend to go with the older version if you are going to buy one, M1 is very powerful for normal user who don’t do video editing. This is how to buy Apple products, buy it at day 1 and no point to wait for discount.
Hi Pete, great vlog! I thought you had changed permanently to a Samsung phone but you had your iPhone with you? The iPads have that much tech now that it's often a much better option.
Thanks Adam! I have indeed, but brought the iPhone with me for this trip since I was testing the iPad out. Turns out the phone died on day 1 😂 Had the S24 packed with me as well as the OnePlus Nord 4 👌🏼
@@carlosemiralonso7997 I came from 12.9, so going to 11 is kinda weird feeling i guess, because i use to have big screen and going small is a bit of adjustment, and i am thinking of getting ate least 512GB, because the reason I sold my 12.9 M2 iPad Pro is because of so small 128GB memory

@@MrWanted000 M4?
@@karthickrajssk6339 yes M4, but the problem isn't with the chip, the problem with the iPads is the iPadOS it's very limited
Filming an iPad video at a OnePlus launch of their new tablet. Too funny! 😂
😂
To be fair, their new tab is really nice!
One of my team is using the whole OnePlus Nord ecosystem to see how well he gets on with it now
@@PeteMatheson yeah, they sent me early preorder because I am in the OnePlus club. Other than the display not being OLED, or looks nice.
The iPad Pro is like a reverse Stephen Hawking. Amazing hardware but handicapped by its joke of an OS.
@@NM-ht8dz underrated comment
What are you looking to achieve on an iPad, or what have you experienced to say it is handicapped?

Great video. I sold my MacBook air for the 13 M4 and get a mini for for the office.
Loved this style of video!
Don’t forget the M4 will help with whatever Apple will do with AI. 🤷
Nice job on the video, man!
ChatGPT for tattoo design? No!!!
Haha! It's done a reasonable job so far. Gotten me to a design i can take to a proper tattooist to have finished off.
Cheers man! Hope you're good

Italy was amazing and it was a pleasure to spend the time together.
Cheers to you fella! It was, as always, a pleasure! ❤️
Do you recommend cellular or WiFi model?
I always go for WiFi and just hotspot my phone. But if you're a daily user outside of WiFi then a cheap cell plan makes a lot of sense
I can’t deal with how the colors get diffused with the paper like screen protector :/

Hard day at the office…🍷
It’s a tough life 😉
If the iPad Pro alllows full functionality of office 365 that would be great
I find my mbp 14 perfect for size and weight
11" or 13"?
I went for the smaller size this time. The large one is a monster 😂
I prefer 13”
@@PeteMatheson have there been points you feel like you'd benefit from the larger screen?
If you’re on the move in your work, having mobile data built in makes a huge convenience gain
Absolutely. Great to have just a pure data sim in there with always on access

@@jackwong64 Oh yeah of course, everybody does video editing.
This device would so replace the laptop is it had a dual boot to macOS
