iPad Buyers Guide for Artists - IPad Air 4 vs Pro vs Mini vs 8th gen 

Sup Brad I'm getting the samsung galaxy S7+ soon to start learning how to draw or maybe try animating

Hi. Could you review Galaxy Tab a8.0 2019?

hey Brad could u review the wacom one

The free brushes are really cool! Thanks. 👍

@@sho_xd9308 he already made a video about it

And yet Apple will send pre-sale units over to Adobe who are still yet to produce a serious version of Photoshop - because a lot of artists out there still say "if it's not photoshop, it's not professional "art...""

THIS. Procreate was the *sole* reason I finally caved in and bought an iPad mini last year.

@@jomsies yes, because its not about the processor but the amount of ram, brad even said it in the video

@@jomsies im not an artist but its about RAM

It's the only reason I'm getting one instead of an Android or surface pro

Why not get a Pen DIsplay instead then? Huion? Wacom?

OMG YES

SAME!

lol same basically. just some lil squiggles. serious business.

I feel attacked HAHAHA (・-・;)ゞ

honestly my favorite part of the video lol. i had to rewind to make sure I heard him right

same lol

Explanation for people that don’t understand: the iPad 7 was not be able to do 43 layers.

Haha, sarcasm in its finest hour. Love it 😂💀

Yeah, he failed to mention it’s a jump from the 7th gen iPad, which the Mini already had more RAM than. So the new 8th gen supports as many layers as the Mini now.

I do see a difference, BUT not everyone can.

@@nemuidere but do you think it's a must have feature for illustrators?

@@sudoo6987 not necessarily. The ram is the factor I would recommend the pro over the air. He is not completely right with the single core and multi core usage. It highly depends on the manufacturer of the program. Back in the days you did everything in single core, nowadays most things are programmed and work multi core.

@@nemuidere ohhhh thanks for the info

The other factor that wasn't considered: the cheapest iPad Air is Price wise compared with the Cheapest pro. The air only got 64GB while the pro got 128GB. In my personal experience 64GB fills up fast. Especially if you also use your iPad for movies and download things. If you compare the air and pro at 256 (which is too much imo) you only have a difference of 150$ anymore. We also don't know what kind of ram is build it, not only is the GB important, but also the speed they run in. But Apple is kinda quiet about it tho. (Sorry for the kinda bad explanations but English is not my first language.)

So relatable

Ohmygod😫😭😭😭

lmao... ADHD problems

same.. only i put it to 2x speed to get through it faster and it ended up just taking longer hahaha

Lmaooooo this is me. Always getting distracted

Great choice! I bought the Pro because I found a promo at the same price as the Air. But with the official prices, the Air is a much better purchase.

the only benchmark to prove which is "better" is your use case. The pro is great but its only better than the air if you actually use all the features that make it better. Personally I love the 12.9 and the 120hz but not everyone needs that.

@@kylersmith6869 yeah exactly not everyone needs it. I’m also using the air for school so even if I don’t like digital art I still have use for it. The pro isn’t for me right now but maybe one day, plus the air is great!

I just bought an Air too, I'm really excited!

@@colorfulmessart3953 Absolutely and its great for school. And look at me, a long time Android user who opted for the 12.9 Pro earlier this year. I wanted Android but their tablets just weren’t where I needed them then and I chose the pro solely for the larger size. For me, I’m used to drawing on larger sketchbooks and when you compare the size of it, it’s essentially the size of a regular sheet of printer paper. So the added cost was worth it for me. I use my iPad more than my laptop and phone at this point. Notes for college are all done on it, my art stuff is all on it, I do some video editing, and I use it when casually browsing the web and RU-vid. All in all I love mine and to this day I have none of the dreaded "buyer’s remorse" that I’m sure has crossed your mind.

The main problem with the first gen is pairing it with the new air or the new pro, you don’t have a lightning port, so pairing is fairly difficult

@NO INTERNET hello! for me the screen was fine! In my experience and work, Ive only worked with 12inch tablets or 13 inch. the Ipad Air 4... was a familar size for me. Of course I would love to have a bigger screen. But with my specific workflow I've gotten used to the 12 inch screen. I can still make artwork fine for me :) I draw landscape too! so I strive for a bigger screen, but with anything, ive gotten used to it. When I get more money or my next upgrade, I will get a bigger screen :)

I was looking for someone to comment on this. Thank you for the suggestion. 🙏

Is the discount still on??

@@Dafadork97 yes, it is

so what ipad do you choose?

I know right?

Id just get ipad 8th gen cause i only use like 5 layers😂

Lol same😂😂

@@Floompers i usually only painting with 5 layers tho

or watching and 'cannot' buy like me :,)

@@Naidamnida Definitely me HAHAHAH *cries in poor*

Here take me with you guys 😅

Yes I love watching 54M mansions and formulating a budget as if I am moving in…☺️☺️☺️

Hi! I'm also considering the 8th gen over the apple air because the cost difference can get me an apple pencil with more.. do you find you feel any limitations from choosing this model after having used it for a few months? i'm also a beginner and i'd only really use it for designing greeting cards - so not that many layers and not that complex LOL

I know right?

@Jim Halpert Why you triggered by a 6 month old comment?

@Jim Halpert Jim would never say that, identity theft is a crime

is 64gb enough?

@@vectorawan it depend of how your use it, for what are you gonna use it? Playing game? A studen who need to take note? Drawing?

You should get his tutorial on Udemy. It's amazing!

Sana all

I have one ipad pro 1st gen from 2015, still works in 2021. 👏

Its out of this world Pun intended

i dont really see anything special about his doodles

I am your father, Luke. Noooooo!!!

WOW AAAAAA

SCREEM

I was just wondering the same thing 😅😂

He said that comparing it with the previous gen iPad

He was clearly comparing the iPads on the table. I guess he missed that during the editing cause he didn't overlay "*32 Layers" for the iPad Mini

@@MarlonDeLaTorreyoutube1 I checked how many layers I got on my ipad 7th gen and it was 43 XD

He was comparing ipad 8th gen to the old ipad 7th gen

But wouldn't they update the pen?

Just did the same procreate test on 7th gen and it gave 43 layers.

@@zeththedarkmage you know youre rich when your only drawing device is an ipad instead of paper

Once you can justify the cost?

Air is much better dude I sold my pro for the air , instantly noticeable speed!

I probably gonna ask for ipad 8th gen for christmas😂

So which one you are gonna buy?? Actually I am also gonna buy one for Christmas.

Yeah same! I was going to get an iPad Pro 12.9 for uni... but it’s real expensive and a keep doubting my decision.

I am more inclined to ipad Air 4th gen

@@priyapal6664 ME TOO !!

Ditto

Me personally I don’t really like the old type of glass apple are using in it. If you’re ok with buying used devices go try the latest iPad Pro 10.5” , a really good device to go pro, get 120hz and stay on budget ;)

Me! Here since 50k

Been here since 50k as well

Me, but I appreciate the Cowboy.

me

Was trying to remember what it used to be. Why the name change I wonder.

It jumped up but didn’t go anywhere

Jump up from the 7th gen ipad to the 8th gen ipad, not from the mini.
