@@oyinolubayo7079 this^^ unless you want to keep your iPad Pro for 8 years (which you probs won’t let’s be honest) get the slightly older iPad Pro. it’s wayyyy better compared to the iPad Air
@@mohammedb4ig wait can u elaborate more. When u say “older iPad Pro” do u mean the latest one or…? I mean I have the iPad Pro 2020 and I am planing on keeping it for a while, I don’t think it’s necessary to change to the 2021 one as I do not rlly see a difference.
@@oyinolubayo7079 iPad Pro M1 is gonna last a very long time. I give it 8-10 years of software updates. The 2019 iPad Pro that came out before it will probably have another 5 years of updates before going out of support. 2019 iPad Pro is better imo cause you can find it for a lot cheaper than the new iPad Air.
This is what I call a real world review. I am just bowled over your style of presenation with right information from the practical world scenarios. Big Love from India. ❤️❤️
I think something major being overlooked is the extreme screen real-estate opened up by the 12.9 in iPad Pro. I had an older iPad before I upgraded this year. Looking at the 11in bs the 12.9in at best buy, the 12.9in just made so much more sense. The availability of having more space to fit notes on my PowerPoints, on top of being able to run a second note for any questions I have during lecture has been an absolute game changer for my studying and grades.
Is there a major difference between 12.9 inches 4th and 5th generation ? And which one do you have? Does it take a lot of space having your textbooks as pdfs on your ipad?♥️
I am writing notes on iPad since 9,7 iPad Pro. 12,9 iPad is USELESS for notes writing - too bit to write on it (paper notebooks for writing are A5, not A4), too clunky to carry around, impossible to hold with one hand. Probably good for artists, but useless for lecture notes.
@@not_anton not useless at all.. significantly better, you have a lot more space to write down notes.. it’s way better for watching content. not only that, it only makes it slightly less portable and just adds a bit of weight.. when you are writing digital notes a4 or a5 doesn’t matter.. the bigger the better
I can't help but laugh every time he mentions the word "useless" because I honestly didn't realize that I won't need it until this video 😭 But anyway, I got the 128 GB iPad Pro and was scared at first that it will not be enough for my school needs and hobbies but seeing that I'm a Charmander, it definitely put me at ease. Thank you for this video!

Dude, where have you been my entire life? This honest, no bs review just earned you guys a new fan. I will be aiming to get the Pro model because of the 120Hz display as it's probably smoother.
@@nandinii4259 you could get the air with 64gb and also get mini portable ssd that has 256gb for 40$ or 128gb for even less, and then overall spend less
I would go for more than 64GB if you plan on keeping it for 5 years. Apple makes lots of upgrades and you want to account for that. But it sucks air doesn’t make a 128GB one :(
I chose the 13 inch pro because of the fact that I needed the Apple Pencil since math notes with a keyboard is basically impossible. And I liked the size resembling a sheet of paper. I’m overall really happy with it and if you really want the size I’d say it’s worth the extra cash
@@janneshildebrandt1 for you! But anyways though, thats too much for me. Sure, if you want to use it as a family ipad and you WILL take a lot of pictures, yes buy a higher gb version
Guys, well done on being usefully critical. I've watched a ton of reviews and they are really glorified advertisements. this has been refreshing and informative to watch.
I'm the type of student where the color of the iPad means EVERYTHING TO ME. Even if I cover it with a case...I still need to know that my iPad is a beautiful mint green underneath. Nice video, though! Thanks for the recs
I’m not a student but i really appreciate the explanations here - simple, easy to understand, esp for people who are not tech savvy, & straight to the point. Thank you.
Just bought the iPad Air 4, 64gb version yesterday and I’m more than satisfied. I use GoodNotes 5 for note taking and I know that the storage on this iPad is more than sufficient for my university work.
I knew I needed an ipad for a while and after watching just this one review of iPad air4 and iPad pro, I've decided to get iPad pro 256GB and got it. No doubts. You guys are really doing something here.
While this video is very useful for some people, I believe you missed a key demographic. Engineering students. I am an engineering student and the LiDAR sensor has completely changed how I use my iPad. If you do anything with cad modeling the LiDAR sensor allows you to take a pre-existing object and make an accurate cad file in seconds. The AR capabilities also cannot be understated since you can project you cad models into the real world for scale. The iPad Pro 11 inch is pretty much required for an engineering student in my eyes, and the 12.9 inch for a mechanical, civil, or engineering design student. Other than that, this video was very informative!
The most honest review ever, and I actually need it. Whenever "useless" came along, just reminded myself how Im just gonna use it for note taking and netflix. :)hahaha
This review was great! Totally agreed with your opinion on the "useless" features. I chose the iPad air 256 because I want that extra wiggle room but I want my device to be light weight. I'm going digital for grad school so having an iPad that can store my digital textbooks and notes is perfect.
I've been debating for a while now but I've decided to go with an Air as i will only use it for note taking, procreate and occassional media consumption. They're both amazing Ipads but the price did it for me. I do plan on long term use but i don't think the storage will be a problem :) while i might start a small business or use it for work i still doubt it will be a problem as I do a lot of management for that on my computer. This is an amazing video and helped me make my final decision of getting an Air :)
In the video, because debating on which one, he said the colors are useless. But since I'm sure I'm going to buy an ipad air 4, i don't know which color to take, I'm between the space grey (very grey) and light blue, which one did you buy?
Thanks for the review, I got the iPad Pro 256gb because I do a lot of art with photo bashing and that extra storage is really nice! It replaced my old MacBook and it’s way lighter and more portable. So it’s a good substitute for people who do work on the side too!
congrats on the paperlike sponsorship! today’s my birthday. coincidentally, my mom bought me an ipad air as a super early birthday present in december 2020 :-)
@@KoiAcademy thank you!!! ☀️ just a birthday dinner for tonight and then a filipino feast at my house tomorrow 🙂 i plan to try to vlog. wish me luck HAHA forgot how to turn on the camera
I had a 10th gen iPad th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.
imo, 64 isn't enough for anybody, let alone students with lots of notes. 128 is the best option, but it might be pushing it a little, depending on your usage. for me, 256 is the sweet spot. you'll never have to ration or worry about storage, but it's not an obscene amount, you know?
64gb is enough if u consider paying for icloud/google drive and saving all your stuff there, and i can access my notes on my phone too which is a bonus
something I'm gonna do since I only have 64 gb is just uploading all my notes to google drive when I'm probably not gonna go back to them and then deleting them locally if that helps anyone who doesn't have a lot of storage.
@@ardinisf that's true! however i'm just a lazy student hahah 😅 and my ipad is my primary school device for notes, which is why i don't need that all the time! my notes are kept either on goodnotes or notion, and my files on google drive, so it works out for me and my study methods :3
@@britneynguyen718 that sounds like a plan! personally i'm just far too lazy to upload things all the time and i study from my ipad a lot, so i prefer having the extra storage :D
Im a college student heading to chiropractic school within a year. And I was worried I wasn’t going to get the right one for my future endeavors. I will definitely be one to download books, movies, lecture videos and some games. So this video helped me so much to decide what was best for me, def a 🔥.
Great review. Planning to get my son one for school and have no clue what would be enough. I knew 64 was probably a no so was going to get the 256 Air. Never considered that the 128 Pro was practically the same price so that was valuable info from this video. Now I do hope the 128 is enough lol. He's in 2nd year engineering.
Thank-you for such an honest and open review! It's so hard to find in this day and age, and I appreciate that you haven't littered it with hard-to-spot advertising. I brought myself the iPad Air, 64gb, cellular and I'll be using either an external ssd or icloud storage for anything further, though I doubt I'll take up more storage than what's available.
I fit the first category the most, but I really wanted the 12.9 display. Also jump to M1 is huge, so ended it going with the latest ipad 12.9 instead of an older version. It is so much more expensive compared to 11 inch pro for no reason, but I am sucker for big displays.
I know heaps of people have been saying this already but hands down! This is the best and realest review I have ever watched. Everything that I am concerned about was clearly addressed in this video. Cheers to your channel! You helped me decide on what iPad I should get for uni! Thank you so much! Stay safe ☺️
I was able to snag an iPad Pro 2nd Gen 128GB Wifi + Cellular barely used from a nice old russian man for 700$, came with a high quality case, another case+keyboard, and great glass screen protector. and your video perfectly explains what students are looking for in an ipad. I chose to look for the pro model since I still wanted that option for creativity and flare lol.
I'm a nursing student, I want to buy an iPad instead of using so much paper or documents. After searching lots of videos about this topic on TH-cam, I see your video and I will choose iPad air 4 64Gb for my university program. Thank you so much, bro!!!
LMAOOO the way he keeps saying useless is just too funny to me since in reality it is useless and more money unless you want to splurge or have the money then go for it
I’m a current M2, and although I could get away with the iPad Air at 64GB, it would be too close for my comfort. The benefits of the Pro (I use the 2021 12.9) are much better display with promotion and XDR, better speakers, FaceID because when I use it I’m sitting down and don’t have a mask on, extra RAM (8GB on mine as a 256GB model) makes a big difference in app refresh rates, and the significantly more powerful M1 for longevity. If you’re already spending $700 on an iPad, you may as we’ll spend as much as you can to maximize your purchase. I imagine I’ll have this in to residency. The other deciding factor for me was the extra screen size makes such a difference if I am watching a lecture while having Notability open at the same time. To each their own, but the Pro models have so many extra little features that really start adding up.
I'm a medical technology/medical laboratoty science student and i have the ipad air with 64gb storage and it is more than enough for me to store all my notes/transes and ebooks. Love your vids, more power to the both you ❤
After watching so many ipad reviews, this was by far the best and Honest for students, All those useless features in the row....😂👍 Amazing Video Man 🔥💯 3:59 Haikyuu ! I am currently watching it, It's so awesome and inspiring at the same time. 👍❤
am mostly using my ipad for uni but found the 10.5 ipad pro 2017’s screen I had was too small and not enjoyable to use for note taking, given that I often split screen my note taking app with google or even with the live online lectures. I then decided to buy the 12.9“ one and actually very happy with the purchase (other than it‘s being way too expensive for how I‘m using it..) but then again very useful hahaha

Its depend on person, usage, budget and environment of ecosystem available For my case after a thorough research, i decided to buy TabS7 instead of ipad Air(i hv note10lite & iphone12mini) My reason is: 1) My environment mostly windows PC and Samsung smart TV. So its much easier to transfer large file using cable and connect to smartTV. In my country most ppl use android anyway. And iMessage was rarely used. Coz whatsaap 2) price VS what i get. For $663 i get Spen, magnetic keyboard cover case, magnetic cover kickstand. 4 speaker (better than ipad air), wifi only 6GB RAM 128GB ROM. 3) clipboard manager. As someone who make a lot of notes for works and class studies. This is very important as i can do multiple copy (text, image, hand writing & pages) and can do multiple Paste 30 latest item copied. Also have option to lock/pin the item in clipboard 4) Samsung Dex can convert Tablet Ui into Windows Like UI, so doing multitasking is much easier compare to tablet mode especially when using mouse and keyboard. I do a lot of work Microsoft office using samsung Dex, really like it 5) i can play any GAMES with mouse and keyboard coz android support V3 shooting apps. The apps floating on screen and you can Map keyboard button. So i play CODM, PUBGM, Genshin Impact with mouse and keyboard I have no issue recommend Ipad to my friends, but depend on their usage, budget and environment. Coz there are something ipad do better and there are something samsung do better
@@BusyraKhiarafif that's some serious suggestions but when it comes to Apple, we get atleat 4-5 no worries abt updates or fluidity, and they have customised os in tab form very well but samsung they don't have like, it is a thing that their devices become slow in and after 2 yrs, that's why m worried, about Samsung. Even if they have 870 or whatever, their one UI is not optimizes especially for tabs, I think, please give the suggestion as you have tab. I m confused between ipad 9, air and tab s7
Most of the things you said is also what I felt like as a 2nd year college student. Most of this features is something I won't really need as I only ever used my Macbook or Ipad for school related purposes. I used my phone for everything else. So why would I need this extra features anyway. My main concern like you said have always been storage & power plus battery life as well. I was also pissed that in Ipad Air only have 64gb & 256gb because I think 128gb should be what's perfect. But actually I was wrong too because 64gb is actually just enough. I store most of my projects & presentation in my Macbook anyway and only have my modules, notes & other simple homework in my Ipad so 64gb is actually more than enough. I'm glad I went for the smaller storage & save money to used to buy different accessories for this gadgets.
I’m a digital art student. I was going to get a 256gb iPad Pro, but the setup I ended up with was a 128gb iPad Pro 11”, and bought a 256gb USB-C thumb drive. It’s absolutely perfect for me: I got all the storage I need for reference pictures, documents, PSDs and even entertainment stuff on the thumb drive as well as the performance and future proofing of the iPad Pro for way cheaper than buying the highest internal storage version
This video is amazing + It reviews both iPads really great and professionally + It has an actually interesting sponsor + It features Cape Cod, the best chips ever made
Very well done review! I'm not a student but would throw out two additional options. The 2020 Pro with either 128gb or 256gb if you can find them. Older processor but the A12Z is still very fast.
not a student anymore but a young retired world traveler,i use the ipad pro 11 2021 with512 gb ssd and cellular,bought it in south east asia at a huge discount,happy with it,btw we use paper tech its a 14$ knock off that works perfectly and they put it on in the store here in asia
Being a medical student, I have had my fair share of doubts on these..and u just addressed at the right time 😭Hands down the best review that solved my confusion 😎. #keep rocking 🎉
I am a medical student too and I just bought the iPad Air 4, two weeks back. I am a hardcore Android user, and this is the first time I'm owning an Apple device. I could've easily gone for the Samsung Tab S7 FE, but The A14 Bionic Chip is too good compared to the SD 730. Everything else, S7 FE is the clear winner.
This was literally the best review/ breakdown ever! So concise & honest. Thanks for the review! It's super helpful with upcoming classes starting. Team Charmander!
128gb is enough for me, i had huge games on it, had so much fun with it, using it till just the right amount of storage which is 100-120gb felt amazing that i picked the right choice
Just got the iPad Air 4 for $499 from Best Buy, I upgraded from the iPad 8th gen because the home button is annoying with procreate, I kind of bellyached about not getting the pro but this video makes me feel better about not getting the iPad with features I won’t need or ever use. Thanks for the review! Also I’m a b student
Amazing review! So glad I stumbled across this channel as an incoming grad student in the health professions. I intend on using the iPad primarily for school use (while I'm in school) but also am interested in venturing into a personal creative space with it and continuing to use it for work/self-study years after I graduate. I'm on the fence between iPad Pro 128GB and 256GB.....I'll be getting the apple pencil and free air pods (student deal) but I'll still have an old MacBook Pro as my "primary device" I guess. I also think using Microsoft office to upload documents and stuff will help with storage, but I'm still unsure which way to go.
I love my pink, 256 GB, iPad Air 5. I only read books, the New York Times, watch TH-cam videos, check IG, take notes and study with GoodNotes. 64 GB was too small for all the meticulous notes I take for all my classes. I agree most people don’t need the iPad Pro.
THANK YOU! I've been binging these videos trying to make a decision and this is the first one that was actually helpful. Even though I'm just graduating and not planning on going back to school, this helped me to really assess my needs and make a more informed decision.
best video i found on actual productivity and not "useless" stuff, its a blessing to be able to listen from highly educated people like you lol, for the survey I am a lawyer studying for the English bar to become a barriester
I am a high school student who specialises in visual art, drama and writing. I also love being creative and moving around. I think an iPad Pro 2021 with 256gb as well as airpods and an apple pencil. I am kinda unsure of a keyboard though, as I love writing on paper but I don't know what that will be like.
I'm not a student anymore but am an executive at a company. Name of the game for me is to do as much in the cloud or on browser based services as possible. Smaller capacity devices are a great way to save money in my use case.
I LOVE this video. It's exactly what I've been looking for and its so freaking useful and I completely relate to so many parts of this video. Thank you for making this! I've always been a fan of Apple products but I practically have little to no knowledge about iPads. I watched many videos and researched online but still did not find a video/article that was useful to help me decide which iPad a biomedical student would need to get. (they were all too lengthy and did not help in ANY way) But I've finally made my decision thanks to this extremely informational, relatable and short video! You guys wasted no time on explaining everything that I wanted/needed to know!! Thank you so much & I'm super stoked to purchase my iPad!!
I honestly love the brief comparison followed by the useless comments. Very helpful, very funny. I work in medicine too and I appreciate the format of this video. Concise and informative with a touch of humor.
Great video, just one thing: don‘t get the overpriced magic keyboard but the logitech folio which I actually find better even apart from the price and second: for engineering student’s and programmers, the better chip and more ram (which some apps can already take advantage of) will definitively be an advantage.
So relatable.Thank you!I was planning to buy an iPad because I'm starting med school this year😁 and was worried I'd have to buy the pro, consider my tight budget🙂 Also I'm a bulbasaur but I wanna be a charmandar😄

I’m a dental student and I have to iPad Pro and iPad Air with magic keyboard. They are both great but the air does more than enough and is a fraction of a price.
@@moonbap2579 well 64 GB iPad air 4 is $599 Vs the 128gb iPad pro 11 at $799. But if you compare between the 256 GB (since air doesn't have 128gb) then iPad air 4 at $749 Vs the iPad pro 11 at $1,099
Oh! One thing I’d add is the Apple Care+ cost. If you plan on insuring it the insurance cost for pro is almost twice the cost of the air at about $100 and $60 respectively (with the 20% student discount). So keep that in mind for added cost! (I’d also like to mention it before the comments do- insurance usually isn’t worth it. However, being on campus and constantly traveling back and forth and between classes it can definitely be worth it in the long run. Repairs without insurance are absolutely ridiculous. And how careful you are doesn’t matter if there’s an accident. I cracked my phone screen when it slid off my bed onto CARPET. The screen has cracks all over it but the glass “screen protector” was in perfect condition😅)
Great video, it was very informative. Thanks for pointing out that the average student would not use most of the features of the iPad Pro. For that reason I go the iPad Air 256 . I may not use all of the 256 gigs but for me it was a better bargain that paying an extra $50 for a Pro with half the storage and a bunch of features I will not use.
I have been watching so many perspectives on the iPad Pro vs the Air lately, and to be frank, I’m still indecisive. Here’s the thing - I’ve been wanting an iPad primarily to use Procreate. Having a device I can easily pick up and start drawing my own art whenever and wherever I wanted can be helpful to me, even if I’m no professional at it. I’m tied between wanting the iPad Air 256 gb model or the iPad Pro 11-inch 128 gb model. Basically it comes down to this - would I value a bigger storage size or a faster refresh rate? And I know how smooth and responsive the iPad Pro is since I’ve actually used it before, my dad uses one for his own work. But would I be willing to make some compromises to future-proof myself on storage or not?
I'm having exactly the same problem like you, but I'm going for pro 128, because 120hz is something I want, if air was having even 90hz I would go for air. Secondly I do know that I'll play games with console and rest of the features even if I don't use it increases my resell value, no one would buy a 60hz display in future from me. And 128gb is enough to do sketches, notes, entertainment etc, more is needed only when heavy video editing like professional work is needed
Thank u, just bought my first iPad and I went with iPad air 5th gen due to price/budget and unfamiliar with Apple products. So far it's been helpful as fas as notes! Just went paperless last month for school for the 1st in my life and I love it!
Hi, great video and lit quality. I am still confused for myself, should i buy iPad Pro 12.9 with magic keyboard or iPad 8 with macbook air? For medical college. Is 12.9 iPad Pro large real estate worth in the life of student? Is 32 gb enough for basic school work? Is there a need of laptop in the life of medical student?
@@heizelmaeamit8328 I mean yes, most of the students are not creators , so i need to do basic stuffs that every student do. Does iPad 8 provide all that stuff or shelling extra on iPad Pro will be worth it? Is laptop needed in medical college and does iPad replace macbook for most of the major stuff students need to do?
I have an iPad Pro and it is awesome.It’s literally a computer I do all my work on it,files,drafts,small video editing/photo editing and then shift to my MacBook Pro if I need to use more of an apps processing power.It’s too good
I thing to look at is : with the 256gb Air, youd still be saving more than $55 compared to the Pro’s lowest storage model. Although you don’t need 256, why not get that much for less. That was the deal breaker for me. Just bought the 4th gen Air because it was cheaper. You’d never catch me buying 64gbs or less. For something this expensive it’s way better to have way more storage than too little. On top of a whole other host of things such as you never being able to fully utilize the full power of the M1 today.(90% of people won’t)
Thanks for this! Living in a 3rd world country, the price difference is quite big after conversion rate (in the hundreds). Confused as to whether the 256 Air can still be just as good as the 128 pro. In your opinion, the performance rate is still the same? Just needing to use it for studies - notes, pdf books etc.
@@pHixiq thank you!! i also take storage as something super serious to consider when buying a gadget and the least i’d go for would be 128gb. im for sure gonna buy the 256gb after reading ur comment haha
Finally!! Honestly the best review ever on an iPad for a student. Many reviewers just say bs like how good the M1 processor etc is the best for some high-tech HDR movie editing and shit while no one who's buying the iPad for school cares about it. Loved it.

I am writing notes on iPad since 9,7 iPad Pro. 12,9 iPad is USELESS for notes writing - too bit to write on it (paper notebooks for writing are A5, not A4), too clunky to carry around, impossible to hold with one hand. Probably good for artists, but useless for lecture notes.
@@not_anton not useless at all.. significantly better, you have a lot more space to write down notes.. it’s way better for watching content. not only that, it only makes it slightly less portable and just adds a bit of weight.. when you are writing digital notes a4 or a5 doesn’t matter.. the bigger the better

Dude, where have you been my entire life? This honest, no bs review just earned you guys a new fan. I will be aiming to get the Pro model because of the 120Hz display as it's probably smoother.
Haha whats good welcome to the channel. You won’t regret that decision
That's the only thing I have about my air 4. The 60htz refresh rate. My note 20 ultra has 120. So I'm used to that lol.
this is literally the most fun review ive ever watched before😭😭
Finally! such an honest review! I got the iPad Air 4 64 GB and it is more than enough for my PhD classes and creating digital artwork with procreate!
Do you have photos on your ipad?
hey i have the almost same review, alot of book pdfs, note taking and procreate. how is 64gb going for you?
@@nandinii4259 you could get the air with 64gb and also get mini portable ssd that has 256gb for 40$ or 128gb for even less, and then overall spend less
I would go for more than 64GB if you plan on keeping it for 5 years. Apple makes lots of upgrades and you want to account for that. But it sucks air doesn’t make a 128GB one :(
do you think the 128 GB is enough for someone who wants to have a lot of games, digital arts, and other apps?
I chose the 13 inch pro because of the fact that I needed the Apple Pencil since math notes with a keyboard is basically impossible. And I liked the size resembling a sheet of paper. I’m overall really happy with it and if you really want the size I’d say it’s worth the extra cash
I can confirm 64gb is enough! I have like 18 games on this iPad and tons of screenshots from online classes yet it still has 47gb left
Really? Thx for the confirm! 😁
Facts me to
how about pdf books?
Nah thats not right, i have used 86 GB on my phone, so 128 is the right size!
@@janneshildebrandt1 for you! But anyways though, thats too much for me. Sure, if you want to use it as a family ipad and you WILL take a lot of pictures, yes buy a higher gb version
Guys, well done on being usefully critical. I've watched a ton of reviews and they are really glorified advertisements. this has been refreshing and informative to watch.
I'm the type of student where the color of the iPad means EVERYTHING TO ME. Even if I cover it with a case...I still need to know that my iPad is a beautiful mint green underneath. Nice video, though! Thanks for the recs
TRUEEEEE finally someone understands me
Get a coloring book.

Just bought the iPad Air 4, 64gb version yesterday and I’m more than satisfied. I use GoodNotes 5 for note taking and I know that the storage on this iPad is more than sufficient for my university work.
Awesome thanks for sharing

You can use typ c pen drive for extra storage...
I knew I needed an ipad for a while and after watching just this one review of iPad air4 and iPad pro, I've decided to get iPad pro 256GB and got it. No doubts. You guys are really doing something here.
Price?
which colour did u get? I've been saving up for a long time and always wanted to get one! Maybe you could give me some advice?
@@savinachen473 There are only 2 shades of gray for the iPad pro, dark vs light are you seriously hung up on the colors? LOL
While this video is very useful for some people, I believe you missed a key demographic. Engineering students. I am an engineering student and the LiDAR sensor has completely changed how I use my iPad. If you do anything with cad modeling the LiDAR sensor allows you to take a pre-existing object and make an accurate cad file in seconds. The AR capabilities also cannot be understated since you can project you cad models into the real world for scale. The iPad Pro 11 inch is pretty much required for an engineering student in my eyes, and the 12.9 inch for a mechanical, civil, or engineering design student. Other than that, this video was very informative!
Good to know, because I obviously don’t know the plight of the engineer student, I hope they all see this comment :)
@@KoiAcademy Pin it maybe?

The most honest review ever, and I actually need it. Whenever "useless" came along, just reminded myself how Im just gonna use it for note taking and netflix. :)hahaha
by far the most honest ipad review i’ve ever seen the whole month of scrolling through other reviews! tysm 🤗🤗
This review was great! Totally agreed with your opinion on the "useless" features. I chose the iPad air 256 because I want that extra wiggle room but I want my device to be light weight. I'm going digital for grad school so having an iPad that can store my digital textbooks and notes is perfect.
I'm 2 minutes into the video, first time watching, and I'm obsessed with you. thank you for being so real!
I've been debating for a while now but I've decided to go with an Air as i will only use it for note taking, procreate and occassional media consumption. They're both amazing Ipads but the price did it for me. I do plan on long term use but i don't think the storage will be a problem :) while i might start a small business or use it for work i still doubt it will be a problem as I do a lot of management for that on my computer. This is an amazing video and helped me make my final decision of getting an Air :)
In the video, because debating on which one, he said the colors are useless. But since I'm sure I'm going to buy an ipad air 4, i don't know which color to take, I'm between the space grey (very grey) and light blue, which one did you buy?
HOWS IT GOING :O i’m gonna buy one in 3 weeks for the exact same reasons!!
as an engineering student, I got the m1 and it's amazing, I know that this iPad will work for me for the next 4 years of university
What storage did you pick
And what storage if you don’t mind me asking

Thanks for the review, I got the iPad Pro 256gb because I do a lot of art with photo bashing and that extra storage is really nice! It replaced my old MacBook and it’s way lighter and more portable. So it’s a good substitute for people who do work on the side too!
congrats on the paperlike sponsorship!

I had a 10th gen iPad th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.
imo, 64 isn't enough for anybody, let alone students with lots of notes. 128 is the best option, but it might be pushing it a little, depending on your usage. for me, 256 is the sweet spot. you'll never have to ration or worry about storage, but it's not an obscene amount, you know?
yeah HAHAHA same 256 for me is safe, I like comfort and flexibility I got the 256 gig air
64gb is enough if u consider paying for icloud/google drive and saving all your stuff there, and i can access my notes on my phone too which is a bonus
something I'm gonna do since I only have 64 gb is just uploading all my notes to google drive when I'm probably not gonna go back to them and then deleting them locally if that helps anyone who doesn't have a lot of storage.
@@ardinisf that's true! however i'm just a lazy student hahah 😅 and my ipad is my primary school device for notes, which is why i don't need that all the time! my notes are kept either on goodnotes or notion, and my files on google drive, so it works out for me and my study methods :3
@@britneynguyen718 that sounds like a plan! personally i'm just far too lazy to upload things all the time and i study from my ipad a lot, so i prefer having the extra storage :D
Im a college student heading to chiropractic school within a year. And I was worried I wasn’t going to get the right one for my future endeavors.

Great review. Planning to get my son one for school and have no clue what would be enough. I knew 64 was probably a no so was going to get the 256 Air. Never considered that the 128 Pro was practically the same price so that was valuable info from this video. Now I do hope the 128 is enough lol. He's in 2nd year engineering.
Thank-you for such an honest and open review! It's so hard to find in this day and age, and I appreciate that you haven't littered it with hard-to-spot advertising. I brought myself the iPad Air, 64gb, cellular and I'll be using either an external ssd or icloud storage for anything further, though I doubt I'll take up more storage than what's available.
I fit the first category the most, but I really wanted the 12.9 display. Also jump to M1 is huge, so ended it going with the latest ipad 12.9 instead of an older version. It is so much more expensive compared to 11 inch pro for no reason, but I am sucker for big displays.
I know heaps of people have been saying this already but hands down! This is the best and realest review I have ever watched. Everything that I am concerned about was clearly addressed in this video. Cheers to your channel! You helped me decide on what iPad I should get for uni! Thank you so much! Stay safe ☺️
I was able to snag an iPad Pro 2nd Gen 128GB Wifi + Cellular barely used from a nice old russian man for 700$, came with a high quality case, another case+keyboard, and great glass screen protector. and your video perfectly explains what students are looking for in an ipad. I chose to look for the pro model since I still wanted that option for creativity and flare lol.
Im not kidding I have watched so many videos to make a decision and this one is the most helpful one! Literally subscribed right away!!! ✨
I'm a nursing student, I want to buy an iPad instead of using so much paper or documents. After searching lots of videos about this topic on TH-cam, I see your video and I will choose iPad air 4 64Gb for my university program. Thank you so much, bro!!!
LMAOOO the way he keeps saying useless is just too funny to me since in reality it is useless and more money unless you want to splurge or have the money then go for it
I’m a current M2, and although I could get away with the iPad Air at 64GB, it would be too close for my comfort. The benefits of the Pro (I use the 2021 12.9) are much better display with promotion and XDR, better speakers, FaceID because when I use it I’m sitting down and don’t have a mask on, extra RAM (8GB on mine as a 256GB model) makes a big difference in app refresh rates, and the significantly more powerful M1 for longevity. If you’re already spending $700 on an iPad, you may as we’ll spend as much as you can to maximize your purchase. I imagine I’ll have this in to residency. The other deciding factor for me was the extra screen size makes such a difference if I am watching a lecture while having Notability open at the same time. To each their own, but the Pro models have so many extra little features that really start adding up.
The most true and relevant iPad review I've seen on TH-cam thanks for the information ♥
I'm a medical technology/medical laboratoty science student and i have the ipad air with 64gb storage and it is more than enough for me to store all my notes/transes and ebooks. Love your vids, more power to the both you ❤
Hello! Are you in med school now? Is 64gb still enough??
Is it still enough after 2 years
After watching so many ipad reviews, this was by far the best and Honest for students, All those useless features in the row....😂👍 Amazing Video Man 🔥💯 3:59 Haikyuu ! I am currently watching it, It's so awesome and inspiring at the same time. 👍❤
I deadass subscribed when he said “who cares” and when he said “useless” I felt that
am mostly using my ipad for uni but found the 10.5 ipad pro 2017’s screen I had was too small and not enjoyable to use for note taking, given that I often split screen my note taking app with google or even with the live online lectures. I then decided to buy the 12.9“ one and actually very happy with the purchase (other than it‘s being way too expensive for how I‘m using it..) but then again very useful hahaha
I get you haha can't put a price on enjoyability
Thank you for your honest review as a students that’s what I needed
Super Happy we Could Help🫶🏻! We also upload more content specifically for students to help them and teach them what we weren't taught as students so do also check our other videos out❤️
“At that price you can find way better tablets” DUDE THE 2020 IPAD IS BY FAR THE BEST TABLET FOR THE MONEY
I 100 percent agree I have the m1 iPad myself and totally think the 2020 iPad Pro is pretty much the same for the money not performance wise
Its depend on person, usage, budget and environment of ecosystem available
For my case after a thorough research, i decided to buy TabS7 instead of ipad Air(i hv note10lite & iphone12mini)
My reason is:
1) My environment mostly windows PC and Samsung smart TV. So its much easier to transfer large file using cable and connect to smartTV. In my country most ppl use android anyway. And iMessage was rarely used. Coz whatsaap
2) price VS what i get. For $663 i get Spen, magnetic keyboard cover case, magnetic cover kickstand. 4 speaker (better than ipad air), wifi only 6GB RAM 128GB ROM.
3) clipboard manager. As someone who make a lot of notes for works and class studies. This is very important as i can do multiple copy (text, image, hand writing & pages) and can do multiple Paste 30 latest item copied. Also have option to lock/pin the item in clipboard
4) Samsung Dex can convert Tablet Ui into Windows Like UI, so doing multitasking is much easier compare to tablet mode especially when using mouse and keyboard. I do a lot of work Microsoft office using samsung Dex, really like it
5) i can play any GAMES with mouse and keyboard coz android support V3 shooting apps. The apps floating on screen and you can Map keyboard button. So i play CODM, PUBGM, Genshin Impact with mouse and keyboard
I have no issue recommend Ipad to my friends, but depend on their usage, budget and environment. Coz there are something ipad do better and there are something samsung do better
Apple refurbished has Pro 2020 starting at 609! That’s a no brainer vs Air 4
@@BusyraKhiarafif that's some serious suggestions but when it comes to Apple, we get atleat 4-5 no worries abt updates or fluidity, and they have customised os in tab form very well but samsung they don't have like, it is a thing that their devices become slow in and after 2 yrs, that's why m worried, about Samsung.
Even if they have 870 or whatever, their one UI is not optimizes especially for tabs, I think, please give the suggestion as you have tab.
I m confused between ipad 9, air and tab s7
@@andychidwick676 How about the battery life?
The first actually honest "reviewer"!!! Useless features that most YT reviewers makes us believe we need, but it doesn't even make sense
Most of the things you said is also what I felt like as a 2nd year college student. Most of this features is something I won't really need as I only ever used my Macbook or Ipad for school related purposes. I used my phone for everything else. So why would I need this extra features anyway. My main concern like you said have always been storage & power plus battery life as well. I was also pissed that in Ipad Air only have 64gb & 256gb because I think 128gb should be what's perfect. But actually I was wrong too because 64gb is actually just enough. I store most of my projects & presentation in my Macbook anyway and only have my modules, notes & other simple homework in my Ipad so 64gb is actually more than enough. I'm glad I went for the smaller storage & save money to used to buy different accessories for this gadgets.
I’m a digital art student. I was going to get a 256gb iPad Pro, but the setup I ended up with was a 128gb iPad Pro 11”, and bought a 256gb USB-C thumb drive. It’s absolutely perfect for me: I got all the storage I need for reference pictures, documents, PSDs and even entertainment stuff on the thumb drive as well as the performance and future proofing of the iPad Pro for way cheaper than buying the highest internal storage version
I am medical student and I am using iPad Pro it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Very well done review! I'm not a student but would throw out two additional options. The 2020 Pro with either 128gb or 256gb if you can find them. Older processor but the A12Z is still very fast.
not a student anymore but a young retired world traveler,i use the ipad pro 11 2021 with512 gb ssd and cellular,bought it in south east asia at a huge discount,happy with it,btw we use paper tech its a 14$ knock off that works perfectly and they put it on in the store here in asia
Being a medical student, I have had my fair share of doubts on these..and u just addressed at the right time 😭Hands down the best review that solved my confusion 😎. #keep rocking 🎉
Hi, I am medical student too. Did you choose IPad Air or IPad Pro?
I am a medical student too and I just bought the iPad Air 4, two weeks back.
I am a hardcore Android user, and this is the first time I'm owning an Apple device. I could've easily gone for the Samsung Tab S7 FE, but The A14 Bionic Chip is too good compared to the SD 730.
Everything else, S7 FE is the clear winner.
definitely a class B. THANK YOU, and here I was overthinking that 68 GB its not gonna be enough. saved my life )))))

Glad it was helpful, go team charmander! 🔥🔥
He was really reading my mind when I was considering all the features that he deemed useless literally word for word thank you for the honest review!!
128gb is enough for me, i had huge games on it, had so much fun with it, using it till just the right amount of storage which is 100-120gb felt amazing that i picked the right choice
Just got the iPad Air 4 for $499 from Best Buy, I upgraded from the iPad 8th gen because the home button is annoying with procreate, I kind of bellyached about not getting the pro but this video makes me feel better about not getting the iPad with features I won’t need or ever use. Thanks for the review! Also I’m a b student
Amazing review! So glad I stumbled across this channel as an incoming grad student in the health professions. I intend on using the iPad primarily for school use (while I'm in school) but also am interested in venturing into a personal creative space with it and continuing to use it for work/self-study years after I graduate. I'm on the fence between iPad Pro 128GB and 256GB.....I'll be getting the apple pencil and free air pods (student deal) but I'll still have an old MacBook Pro as my "primary device" I guess. I also think using Microsoft office to upload documents and stuff will help with storage, but I'm still unsure which way to go.
One of the best informative, concise & straight-to-the-point review out there
Loved this review. The last 1 min made it so easy ..I'm a charmander but planning to be a squirtle
I love my iPad Air and don’t think the pro could’ve been any better. I didn’t even have to save money to buy this one and it works like a dream.
The intro made me subscribe. Immediately. I love the energy and way you talk, so capturing and intelligent!
I love how realistic he is.."Useless"😂 Dude that's so true man
I love my pink, 256 GB, iPad Air 5. I only read books, the New York Times, watch TH-cam videos, check IG, take notes and study with GoodNotes. 64 GB was too small for all the meticulous notes I take for all my classes. I agree most people don’t need the iPad Pro.
THANK YOU! I've been binging these videos trying to make a decision and this is the first one that was actually helpful. Even though I'm just graduating and not planning on going back to school, this helped me to really assess my needs and make a more informed decision.
best video i found on actual productivity and not "useless" stuff, its a blessing to be able to listen from highly educated people like you lol, for the survey I am a lawyer studying for the English bar to become a barriester

I love this review because it highlights that most features are useless - especially during quarantine.
The straight forward nature if this video is the best for quick reviews. I would be visiting this channel more in the future.
I am a high school student who specialises in visual art, drama and writing. I also love being creative and moving around. I think an iPad Pro 2021 with 256gb as well as airpods and an apple pencil. I am kinda unsure of a keyboard though, as I love writing on paper but I don't know what that will be like.

I watched many videos and researched online but still did not find a video/article that was useful to help me decide which iPad a biomedical student would need to get.

I honestly love the brief comparison followed by the useless comments. Very helpful, very funny. I work in medicine too and I appreciate the format of this video. Concise and informative with a touch of humor.
Great video, just one thing: don‘t get the overpriced magic keyboard but the logitech folio which I actually find better even apart from the price and second: for engineering student’s and programmers, the better chip and more ram (which some apps can already take advantage of) will definitively be an advantage.

I’m a dental student and I have to iPad Pro and iPad Air with magic keyboard. They are both great but the air does more than enough and is a fraction of a price.
Good to hear, the air is often underrated but can be so cost effective. Interesting why you have both lol
Fraction… more like $50 apart for a 64GB Air or a 128GB Pro
@@moonbap2579 well 64 GB iPad air 4 is $599 Vs the 128gb iPad pro 11 at $799.
But if you compare between the 256 GB (since air doesn't have 128gb) then iPad air 4 at $749 Vs the iPad pro 11 at $1,099
God. This is the MOST HONEST and REALISTIC review of the ipad ever.. Love it😂
Great review! Question: is the writing experience the same between the air and the pro? Thanks!
Oh! One thing I’d add is the Apple Care+ cost. If you plan on insuring it the insurance cost for pro is almost twice the cost of the air at about $100 and $60 respectively (with the 20% student discount). So keep that in mind for added cost!
(I’d also like to mention it before the comments do- insurance usually isn’t worth it. However, being on campus and constantly traveling back and forth and between classes it can definitely be worth it in the long run. Repairs without insurance are absolutely ridiculous. And how careful you are doesn’t matter if there’s an accident. I cracked my phone screen when it slid off my bed onto CARPET. The screen has cracks all over it but the glass “screen protector” was in perfect condition😅)
Great video, it was very informative. Thanks for pointing out that the average student would not use most of the features of the iPad Pro. For that reason I go the iPad Air 256 . I may not use all of the 256 gigs but for me it was a better bargain that paying an extra $50 for a Pro with half the storage and a bunch of features I will not use.
You no idea what you did with you honest reviews I've been thinking which one should I buy as a student I only need it for notes... so thank you
I have been watching so many perspectives on the iPad Pro vs the Air lately, and to be frank, I’m still indecisive. Here’s the thing - I’ve been wanting an iPad primarily to use Procreate. Having a device I can easily pick up and start drawing my own art whenever and wherever I wanted can be helpful to me, even if I’m no professional at it.
I’m tied between wanting the iPad Air 256 gb model or the iPad Pro 11-inch 128 gb model. Basically it comes down to this - would I value a bigger storage size or a faster refresh rate? And I know how smooth and responsive the iPad Pro is since I’ve actually used it before, my dad uses one for his own work. But would I be willing to make some compromises to future-proof myself on storage or not?
Also think about resell value….
I'm having exactly the same problem like you, but I'm going for pro 128, because 120hz is something I want, if air was having even 90hz I would go for air. Secondly I do know that I'll play games with console and rest of the features even if I don't use it increases my resell value, no one would buy a 60hz display in future from me. And 128gb is enough to do sketches, notes, entertainment etc, more is needed only when heavy video editing like professional work is needed
The thing is that the pro is kinda useless if you already have other devices like computers.
@@andy_t6349 totally forgot about this comment lol, I’ve already pretty much decided on the air. Hope to get my hands on one soon
I’m literally in this same situation ugh! Please tell me which one you ended up going for??

The best ipad review ever, I'm rolling on the floor 😂😂😂😂
Bro! Best review video. Never seen someone talk about useless features. Good stuff man!
Hi, great video and lit quality. I am still confused for myself, should i buy iPad Pro 12.9 with magic keyboard or iPad 8 with macbook air? For medical college.
Is 12.9 iPad Pro large real estate worth in the life of student? Is 32 gb enough for basic school work? Is there a need of laptop in the life of medical student?
for medical student especially if you take online tests a macbook might be more helpfiul
@@KoiAcademy Ok seniors, Also what should i buy for my college macbook air with iPad 8 OR iPad Pro with magic Keyboard?
@@heizelmaeamit8328 I mean yes, most of the students are not creators , so i need to do basic stuffs that every student do.
Does iPad 8 provide all that stuff or shelling extra on iPad Pro will be worth it?
Is laptop needed in medical college and does iPad replace macbook for most of the major stuff students need to do?
I have an iPad Pro and it is awesome.It’s literally a computer I do all my work on it,files,drafts,small video editing/photo editing and then shift to my MacBook Pro if I need to use more of an apps processing power.It’s too good
I thing to look at is : with the 256gb Air, youd still be saving more than $55 compared to the Pro’s lowest storage model. Although you don’t need 256, why not get that much for less. That was the deal breaker for me. Just bought the 4th gen Air because it was cheaper. You’d never catch me buying 64gbs or less. For something this expensive it’s way better to have way more storage than too little. On top of a whole other host of things such as you never being able to fully utilize the full power of the M1 today.(90% of people won’t)
so which one did u buy? is it the ipad air 256gb?
@@irdina762 air 256. Still loving it. Still doing everything I could do on the pro
Thanks for this! Living in a 3rd world country, the price difference is quite big after conversion rate (in the hundreds). Confused as to whether the 256 Air can still be just as good as the 128 pro.
In your opinion, the performance rate is still the same? Just needing to use it for studies - notes, pdf books etc.
@@pHixiq thank you!! i also take storage as something super serious to consider when buying a gadget and the least i’d go for would be 128gb. im for sure gonna buy the 256gb after reading ur comment haha
@@Jaswenli 1 billion percent the same especially in your case
Finally!! Honestly the best review ever on an iPad for a student. Many reviewers just say bs like how good the M1 processor etc is the best for some high-tech HDR movie editing and shit while no one who's buying the iPad for school cares about it. Loved it.
