Glad you chose the 13 inch! Since its design more slimmer, its so portable, light weight and mobile! Plus the screen real estate allows more viewable contents! Team 13 inch!
I definitely think that both are just personal preference, i have smaller hands so the 11in M4 pro works best for me every though the 13 is lighter i have a 13 inch MacBook Air that i just adore and i split that into 4 screens so i didn’t see it worth getting the 13in iPad Pro even though it would be fun to have it the smaller screen works well for me. Also i use this for a movie screen for my kids in the car and it fits in the holder perfectly. Both are great and whatever anyone chooses i think you’ll like them both. The iPad pros this year i think are great!
Hey there! I've been using the ESR Magnetic Screen Protector, which is great because it can be easily removed and reattached. I recently purchased the new Paperlike, which I've used on previous iPads.

Think you’re the first to say if you have M1 ipad pro, prob not worth upgrading. I struggled with this esp after WWDC it looked like the ipad experience remains largely unchanged, so the only benefits I’d get is the slimmer design (13 inch) and function row on magic keyboard. Really cool tech imo and I really want it, but I’ll try to hold off for the next iteration (or a discount).
I don't think that many people with a two-generation-old tablet would extract the value from upgrading. You would really need to have a compelling use case and I see it like buying a new car when you're upside down on the one you own.
The 13” iPad Pro is incredibly light. Had the M1 10.9” iPad Air, but it only had 64GB memory, so I upgraded. The weight of the 13” with new Magic Keyboard is just a bit more than the M1 iPad Air with its Magic Keyboard. As you noted, the 13” is also easy to hold one-handed as a tablet in portrait mode. One small concern I have is the aluminum surface of the Magic Keyboard. I find that it occasionally rubs against the underside of the iPad. The surface of the keyboard makes it look like almost like a MacBook but I have to be careful it doesn’t rub metal-to-metal.
Love the 13” but in my case I use my iPad in tight spaces and prefer the 11”. Last iPad was the 12.9 so I do have a point of reference. Either way, the M4 iPad is a a great device and the accessories are top notch.
Fantastic Video! Thank you. My biggest question was your first. I am struggling choosing between 13 and 11. I had a 12.9 but returned because I found it heavy in tablet mode. I love my Mini for content consumption, tired the 11 but missed the RE when trying to multi task. Going to try the 13! Thanks!
My 2018 iPad Pro has served me well. The only reason I upgraded to the M4 is because of the new AI that’s coming. I also went from 11” to 13”, and there’s hardly any weight difference. I love the iPad, and I also love my Macs. They’re both great devices, with different use cases.
@@ItsCaputo just got at three days ago, and I have the brightness usually around half or a little less than that. When I am walking outside momentarily, it goes up, but I usually bring it back down to where I said. I usually only have Google Chrome and another app open, and all I have been doing really is reading. From 100% around 10:30 in the morning, around 12:30 in the afternoon it was around 40% That’s when I start plugging it in again.
Really good to see a well thought out and reasoned review. Having just upgraded a 2016 9.7 iPad Pro to a 11inch M4 iPad Pro earlier in the week and I’m blown away by its performance. The new pencil is incredible compared to the original pencil. A simple decision for me as I want to use the new iPad Pro for rough cuts using Final Cut Pro iOS out in the field. I’ll polish them up, if required on a MacBook or iMac when I return home. Multi screen editing in the field on the iPad is a bonus. The 40Gb Thunderbolt port on the Pro was the deciding factor over an M2 iPad Air and the Apple keyboard looks like a sensible next purchase. This should allow me to connect an external (10,000 MAh) power bank to the keyboard and power both the iPad and an external NVME drive connected to the Thunderbolt port on the iPad, thus allowing 40Gb file transfer for video files.
How much does the new 13inch pro with keyboard weigh compacted to the M1 version? Airlines are getting really strict about how much the carry on weight can be. 7 kilos adds up really quickly when you have camera gear too!! 😁
I’m considering it mainly cause of that new Tandem OLED display + of the design and how lightweight it is. I don’t currently have an iPad and although I will mostly use it for media consumption I think i’ll go for the M4 iPad Pro 😅
Do you think it'd be a good idea to replace my iPad 9th generation and M1 MacBook Air with an iPad Air 4 or iPad 10th generation with a first-party keyboard case? I barely ever use my laptop and manage to do most tasks on my iPad. So I think it might be a good idea to just get a slightly more powerful iPad to replace both devices. I don't care much for stage manager or external monitor support. Do you think this is a good idea?
I think this is a good choice, but I'd probably chose the iPad Air 5 if you can. Additionally, the iPad Air 5 can be used as a secondary display for your M1 MacBook Air, allowing you to control it using your MacBook's keyboard and trackpad. Did this help?
@@ItsCaputo Does the iPad 10th gen not support sidecar and universal control, limiting it to the Air 5? Asking because my 9th gen currently can do both.
I love the framework you’ve shared in choosing 11” or 13”. Very helpful. I am contemplating about it too. But I think 11” is for my use case since I value portability. I dock my iPad at home if I need to do keyboard stuff and multi tasking
I’m so happy it helped! By the way, what kind of dock are you using? I’m planning to showcase more iPad-centric desk setups from the audience, so if you’d like to share yours, I’d love to feature it!
@@ItsCaputo just using a standard USB-C to HDMI from U green. I use ny wooden Macbook docking station i used before for a macbook as my iPad stand. LOL. Very unlikely
Oh man, this would’ve been such a good question too! I personally would not choose nano texture because of a cut down or reduction on contrast. But honestly, I haven’t seen one in person yet which is why the question escaped me.
I never used the wide angle lens on my old M1 iPad Pro - not even once that I remember. I generally only use the camera to scan documents, although have taken the occasional image if it is front of me and I have seen something I wanted to photograph. For me the biggest advantage of the M4 has been it is noticeably lighter to hold in tablet mode. If you wondered why I upgraded, it was mainly that the battery life was getting poor on my previous M1 after using 10+ hours every day for the last three years, and as a musician it is important that it lasts out a musical gig.

That’s solid logic
Most art apps utilize the squeeze to bring up menus.

For me. iPad Pro is way better than the MacBook. I have both and use my iPad Pro M4 for everything. Not regret at all. 😊

The 11” is a very compelling size this year and it was a hard decision for me. What a shift coming for the 12.9” iPad Pro.
@@ItsCaputoCarried the 12.9 for 2 years, it was fun to explore the size difference.
I’ve never used an iPad for photography. Couldn’t care less about camera and lens quality

Can I ask why my ipad m4 13inch’s battery is running too fast and I cannot imagine in that fast its charging degrading. Can you tell me why ?
I use my iPad every day, but not all day and i get 2-3 days worth of usage. What does your battery usage look like?
Cellular or only WiFi?
Cellular without a doubt
@@ItsCaputo what plan or with what carrier?
I’m only getting about 5 ish hours of battery life for my iPad Pro 13-in.🤷♂️
How bright do you have the display and what's the total duration before recharging?
@@ItsCaputo just got at three days ago, and I have the brightness usually around half or a little less than that.

I know of multiple music and video producers that absolutely use the ipad in their workflow.
This was excellent, THANK YOU. 👍
Is it worth getting an external display?
