After graduating, I switched from an M1 MacBook Pro to the 11inch iPad Pro with a pencil. Yes I could’ve kept my MacBook for years and years but the portability of the iPad beats even the most compact laptop. I wish it had a mini LED display but Pro Motion and the Pencil versatility make up for it
I am really hoping they add miniLED to the 11in. I have a 12.9in from 2018 and I can't wait to upgrade. I love the size of the 12.9in, but I feel I would carry it around more if it was 11in.
This means you never really needed professional grade laptop computing in the first place, because my iPad pro is so limited, I still have to own a real computer
I think this is your best RU-vid video ever. Your pacing is amazing, you’re editing is unparalleled, your confidence is inspiring… you are just doing GREAT. Looking forward to following you over the next 10 years… or more. Now let’s talk about the elephant in the room. It’s downloading video from all your devices onto the iPad. Give us a tutorial on the best way to do that. Remember our leader leads by leading…. and we so want to follow you. Keep up the great work.
One year later and it's still...just an iPad. A glorious, beautiful, well designed piece of technology, but still, just an iPad. But I don't necessarily think that it has to be a bad thing. I owned the 2020, 12.9" iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard, and fell for Apple's "what's a computer" tagline, as did many others out there. I quickly came to realize, that as much as Apple would like to market this as a computer, it really can't replace a traditional laptop for those that need full desktop computing needs. I LOVE my iPad, but I also needed a true computer for my needs so I ended up selling the 2020 iPad Pro, and bought a M1 Macbook Air and a M1 11" iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard and now, I'm satisfied. Between the new Universal Control feature heading our way soon outside of beta, and the fact that I can easily throw my 11" iPad Pro into my purse for days when I need mobile computing, I feel like I've got the best ecosystem for my needs. The only thing I am looking for now, and I hope to see coming this year, is Apple to come out with their own monitors again. Preferably something that looks like the new colourful iMac's. Then I'd set up a desktop area, but right now, don't need - I'm happy to use my Macbook Air for that desktop usage and the iPad Pro for mobility. But - I think it's important to note that I think Apple has moved away from marketing it as a one and done device, and I think they've smartly marketed it as a supplementary device. The hardware is leaps and bounds better than every other tablet on the market, but the software...the software holds it back. But I think we can all agree at this point, that this is an intentional holdback. Apple does not want it to replace your need for a full computer. They want you to have as many products in the Apple ecosystem as possible.
Yep. They've changed their Why iPad page to "here's a few reasons why your next computer might be an iPad" to "here are just a few of the countless things you can do with iPad". They're FINALLY not marketing it as a laptop replacement, because for most people, it can't be because of software limitations, but it is a very good supplementary device, although it's very expensive for that purpose (although the 11 inch iPad Pro is probably the sweet spot for most who can afford it).
@@cameronbosch1213 exactly. I think it’s still the best tablet on the market and definitely worth the money in my eyes, but it is very expensive, especially when you add on the magic keyboard and pencil. I downgraded my storage needs and size needs, and sold my 2020 12.9” iPad Pro and MK what what it cost to buy a brand new M1 11” and MK and then bought a base model M1 Air and while I spent more (Apple’s intention) I should have done this purchase this way the first time in 2020.
That's what actually sold me on the iPad mini. It is an real powerful and flexible tool that fits nicely in between my full sized keyboard laptop and my phone. It actually won me over INTO the apple ecosystem, which is kind of amazing. I think the Ipad is the real key there, the fact it is the fanciest version is just kind of overkill. I'd absolutely love an iPad pro but I really can't justify it for the price of a brand new macbook which also runs the same powerful CPU, and is better able to make use of it.
@@krystalmcleod0916 I too bought my 2020 12.9" with the keyboard to replace my old Touch Bar MacBook (that I sold once M1 chips were announced)... but after a year of using it as my main laptop I realized it just wasn't doing it for me. Just bought a MacBook and sold the keyboard. I am just going to use it as a vastly overpriced couch Netflix device, which makes me feel like an idiot for paying that much but it sure is good for that!
@@TheScottAF I don’t think you’re an idiot at all. Many of us did the exact same thing. It is always wonderful and exciting to be an early adopter of new and innovative technology, and sometimes we win, and sometimes we lose. There has been some amazing technology developed and released to the general public in the last couple decades, and every product that you see come out, is obsolete before being released. I often believe that Apple and other tech companies are releasing one or two generations behind what they’ve already developed. As it is often the case, money wins against releasing the best in technology advancements - there is nothing stopping Apple from making the iPad Pro into one hellva computer, other than Apple themselves. They want you to buy as many pieces of their arsenal of Apple products as possible, and the way to do that is to make their products fantastic, perhaps the best, but still leave them with one or two issues that can be resolved in “future iterations”. It’s the name of the game…what’s next? Though I didn’t need two mobile computing devices, I am glad I have them both - the MacBook Air is suitable for my desktop needs and the iPad, like you, is a really fantastic, overpriced entertainment device. But I’m currently typing on the Magic Keyboard as we speak, at work, since it travels with me in my purse each day. Though the MacBook Air is small, it is not small enough to fit in my purse and for that reason alone, I own both. Money wise, it’s a stupid purchase, but if money is no object, and you find uses for both, own both. I enjoy the advancement of technology, and I can look at every purchase I make with a very cynical eye - I never look at these purchases as wise, because every single item I own, already has a new iteration waiting in the wings to be released.
The m1 iPad is future proof, but runs into the limitations of the software. The 12z chip still performs as good as the m1. Maybe the m1 is a little faster with small things that really wouldn't* bother anyone. I just got the iPad mini lol I'm about to sell everything else haven't turned it on since.
@@JoseRivera-rl3qv it's the same as the 12z. I think the 12z might over clocked but software limitations it's the same user experience. The 12x was years ahead of its time. It probably still beats the Samsung ultra tab s8
I have the 11’ Ipad Pro and love it. Not a power user but run my life thru it. I use the Logitech Combi keyboard which is convenient, less expensive and works quite well. Got the Pro to stay future proofed. I’m sure the IPad Air would be quite good for my use too but the M1 will keep my options open should I need to do more powerful applications.
I love my M1 12.9”. My workflow with video meetings and the MagFlött magnetic stand makes it super great for productivity. Almost replaces my laptop in most cases.
@@hk6926 as a student it’s perfect 🤔 I can take notes written or typed and add clear photos, play Xbox on the go, text everyone and have able to take stuff from my phone, opens in a second super smooth and never slows down
@@fichwiekaldie3823 lol why comment something nasty on a comment from someone who is happy with what they have? Maybe they don’t want a surface pro? Individuality ……..
As a tattoo artist and a youtuber I use my iPad Pro almost everyday for things like tattoo design with procreate, script typing, and consumption of video occasionally. I could not imagine my life without it at this point. Great video dude. Hope you are well.
The M1 iPad Pro is the first ipad I’ve ever owned, i was mainly an android guy but switched over to apple due to work conveniences. But lemme tell you, this is probably the best tablet I’ve ever used. The fluidity, productivity, power, in this tablet is sweet. And on top of that, all the cool gadgets you can pair with it is awesome!
I got mine solely for my woodshop. I am very happy with being able to draw up ideas and designs on it with the pencil and magic keyboard. Yes, I spent a ton of money on it. Worth it in the end.
I have a refurbished 2018 11” iPad Pro I feel the processor is fast enough for all the drawing and schooling/multitasking I do that I feel the M1 is kind of overkill unless you’re doing hardcore video or 3d rendering.
i used to have the 10.5 ipad pro and never could max it out and my dumbass bought the M1 12.9 because i just needed a bigger screen. all that changed was battery life is shorter than before.
@@g4meboy13 We feel dumb, but the tech calls, lol. I had the 1st gen 11” Pro and traded it for the M1 12.9”. This thing is big. I ended up getting the 6th gen mini too because it travels better. The sad thing is I do nothing to need a pro device, but once you go pro, you’re stuck. I use thing thing for RU-vid, playing a few games and watching TV/movies. I like the better display and speakers and USB-C port though.
@@FloeticEnigma I am even worse than you are. I got the M1 11 inch so that I could get all that storage. I don’t just like to trust to the cloud, I like having my things on device. That and the 16 GB of RAM for future proofing are what made me get the expensive M1. Apple knows what they are doing maxing out the air at less storage!
I got my iPad Pro M1 12.9” in January and I am absolutely loving it! I use it almost every day and it’s my go to outside my apartment. (Even though I own a MacBook Air.)
I have always felt that tablets were the wrong size for me until I got the 12.9". I draw on it and it doesn't feel cramped like everything else I have used. It's not perfect, but it's a pretty good tablet.
Love my M1 iPad Pro 11. I am a Realtor and Property Manager, and my iPad Pro has completely replaced my MacBook Pro as my business device. The iPad Pro is literally the perfect computer for what I do. It was an easy decision for me to get rid of my 2019 MacBook Pro(hated the dang ribbon bar). I got the new M1 Mac Mini with 16gb ram for desktop, and a new 11" M1 iPad pro for my mobile purposes. I chose the 11” because the screen is big enough for doing work on, but still super portable. Paid less for the two of them together than I did for just my MBP. It's the perfect setup for me. I create and work with contracts, pdf's, and documents on a daily basis. It is so much easier, convenient, and more intuitive to use the iPad for the work I do. In fact, I would go so far as to say, in my opinion the laptop is limiting and cumbersome compared to the iPad Pro for the type of work I do. Jeeze, even the camera on it is good enough to use for most of the photos I need for a property listing. It streamlined my workflow, and has definitely made my work more fun. Cloud storage is cheap nowadays, as is fast external storage. I got the M1 iPad Pro 11 with 256gb, but have 2TB iCloud+ for $10 month, 1TB of cloud storage with MS Office 365 and OneDrive. I also have 2TB of Google Drive storage for $10 a month. On top of that, I have a couple of external 1TB USB C SSD's, and a few USB 3.1 512GB flash drives. So, storage is not a problem. It easily runs any of the realty apps I need to use, so only 8gb ram is no problem. And, it has the same M1 processor the 1TB and up models have, so power is also not a problem. Don't have the magic keyboard but bought the Logitech Combo Touch and I love it. I also bought a Logitech MX Anywhere 2s mouse, and an Apple Pencil 2, both of which are the best. I have a few choices for carry. First, is a small traditional laptop case with many zippered compartments. Second is a nice REI sling bag with lots of pockets and storage. Last is a small REI backpack with even more pockets and storage than the sling. I can carry all the accessories I need with any of my carry choices. Working with a product that you like to use is an important key in business. No need for a dedicated camera or scanner anymore. I also use it for handwritten and typed notes, daily planning, task management, to-do's, email, web browsing, phone calls, messages, entertainment, reading books, play an occasional game, and the list goes on. I use a bunch of realty specific web apps and services but have a few others that I really like. For note management I use Notes, OneNote, GoodNotes, and Noteful. I also use a Paperlike screen protector and my Apple Pencil 2 for a natural writing experience. For document management I use MS Office, and PDF Expert. For file management I use Files, iCloud+, FileBrowser, Tonido, OneDrive, and Google. Now that I have used the iPad Pro for work, there is no going back to a laptop. The Apple ecosystem is the best. Everything just talks and works with each other seamlessly. As of right now, I have the Apple TV 4K/AirPod Pros/Apple Watch Series 6 44mm/iPhone 12 Pro Max 512GB/M1 iPad Pro 11 256GB/M1 Mac Mini 16GB RAM/256GB SSD/2019 intel i9 2.3ghz 16gb 512gb 16" MacBook Pro(sold). Really cool having an all in one that’s easy to use and light to carry for your business and personal needs. I will admit that iPad OS still has a way to go but has certainly come a long way from its humble beginnings. Been using Apple products since the mid 90’s. My first Apple computer was a Macintosh Color Classic in 1994. I am so glad Steve came back and saved Apple from the imminent death it was facing in 1997 and brought it back to the Apple we all know and love today. I'll admit that I actually cried when Steve Jobs passed away. Can't believe it's already been 10 years.
I still have mine, a 12.9 inch 512GB model I use it in tandem with my new M2 Pro MacBook Pro 16” I used my iPad Pro at school and work, my MacBook is reserved for at home mostly and when I travel out of town.
External Monitor support is actually the only reason i need to move to a MacBook instead of depending on the ipad . It’s unacceptable that we still dont have this sorted. The iPad could literally have been my only device if proper monitor support was available,
...and this is the reason that I dont think they will ever give it to us. Too many will ditch MB and MBP for this setup. I didnt say everyone, but I believe its enough that they are concerned enough to not give it to us.
I'm using my 12.9" daily to write notes using Good Notes (I only wish it had full screen mode). And Reading Magazines. I lost part of my eyesight and loving the Ipad Pro, crazy fast and it's part of my work flow with the Iphone 12 and Imac 27" , still using Desktop Mode to access some PC programs but works well for me.
I have a 4:3 lcd monitor!!! (1600x1200) Both ipad pro m1 2021 and ipad air 3 a12 does not crop!! it fits perfectly. whether you airplay to mac or use hdmi
Just recently ordered a 12.9" M1 iPad Pro refurbished with an apple pencil gen 2 and a magic keyboard for $917 total--I haven't had a tablet since 2014. I have a 2020 MacBook Pro 13" I upgraded to last year that I got for $840 (1TB, 32GB RAM compared to my old 2017 model w/ 512GB and 16GB RAM, I ran out of storage and needed more RAM as well for music production amongst other things) and I'm hoping the iPad acts as intermediary between my phone and my laptop. Something I can use while my phone is charging or use alongside my laptop for better multitasking. I am excited to watch movies on it as well since I was debating getting a TV (I don't have a TV in my house and usually watch movies on my phone because its more comfortable to hold than my laptop and it has an OLED screen, but it's very small to watch movies on) but decided that this would probably yield a better movie experience compared to a TV as well as be significantly more portable and be useful in other ways as well. I also plan to take notes on it as a university student. It is absolutely crazy to me that you can get an iPhone 13 Pro Max, an Apple Watch Series 7, a 1TB SSD 32GB RAM i7 spec 13" MacBook Pro, and a 12.9" M1 iPad Pro w/ a Gen 2 Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard all together for less money than the current lowest spec 16" MacBook Pro alone. I'm super excited to see what is available in another six or seven years. :)
The iPad mini is great to hook up to an external monitor, I'd love to have better use of screen real estate while docked. I can why see it wouldn't matter with the 12 incher tho.
Huawei makes a display called the Huawei Mateview which has an aspect ratio of 3:2. In a couple of RU-vid videos I’ve watched. When you plug an iPad Pro into the display. It’s almost able to fill the entire display although, there are 2 thin black lines going across vertically from the sides like slightly bigger side bezels. Therefore, I think if you were able to find a display that matches the aspect ratio of the iPad. You would be able to achieve a video output that fills the entire display without any black bars.
Everyone missed the single most important development last week, the latest Blender alpha requires the latest Mac operating system, which means they are making changes to Metal. Go team!
The time has come to have extended display capability with the iPad. Why do we not have this at this time? I also agree with you about the camera. It should be optimized for landscape orientation. I have to shift my iPad to the right to center myself. I don’t have the M1 iPP. I have the 2020 model, but I think the same issues/shortcomings apply. Awesome content as always.
You can’t do what you’re asking for when it comes to extended displays. Apple recognizes this, so that’s why it mirrors. Say you extended your display to another monitor. How would you interact with it? The iPad is a touch device and you cannot touch the external monitor, so it makes no sense whatsoever for Apple to extend a desktop you can’t use. I hear you say, “well, what about the Magic Keyboard?” First, few people who have the iPad Pro are willing to spend $349 for a keyboard. Second, Apple has said repeatedly the iPad is a touch device first and foremost. They will never require a mouse for any feature. Apple leaves extended desktops as an app-specific feature. When it makes sense, the developer will make use of another monitor. Most of the time it doesn’t, so it would only mirror.
@@techinrl9869 even with other touchscreen for example surface pro you still can use,project & extended to other monitor which not support touchscreen. Ipad pro have all of different keyboard apart from apple own magic keyboard. Even apple comes with magic keyboard for sure they not just market it for just touchscreen only. Even as for me who travel a lot for work & leisure; sometimes i just want to travel light & want to leave my MBP at home. But I can’t do a lot of my work without extended monitor. So in the end I just left ipad pro at home wasting it while keep on bringing MBP everywhere or I’ll bring surface pro if I do really need to travel lightly & need to do my work at the same time.
Incoming Galaxy tab S8 ultra, the iPad Pro finally has competition. The tab S8 ultra beats the iPad Pro in productivity. Samsung is finally making android tablets Great again.
@@rizal2325 You said it yourself but you can’t really use an extended monitor without a mouse. Apple’s not going to have any features that require a pointing device. In fact, Apple’s device doesn’t actually have a mouse pointer even when paired with a mouse. They spent a lot of R&D creating a context-sensitive cursor that simulates a finger, not a mouse. That’s how dedicated Apple is to keeping this a tablet and not a laptop. I predict Apple will never extend the desktop because it simply makes no sense for a touch device. For the Surface Pro, it runs full Windows, not a tablet OS, and is almost unusable without a mouse/trackpad/keyboard. The Surface Pro basically is a laptop that has to make serious compromises in order to have tablet functionality. So the Surface Pro is not a comparable device because it is essentially a laptop with a weak processor. It is NOT a real tablet. As someone who bought a Surface Pro 6, I regretted that decision because it was the worst of both worlds. The compromises made it a mediocre laptop and horrendous tablet. I would have been better off with a Surface Laptop. It sounds like what you need is a laptop, not a tablet. You’re using your Surface Pro as a laptop.
For all those wondering about the 11 inch and took it back I hated it it was very uncomfortable to hold The bezels were to close so I was always touching things. The 10.5 is perfect I would say get the 12.9 inch yeah it’s heavy and it’s absolutely huge but I promise you after using it for a day you will never go back the big screen is beautiful and no I’m talking about a refurbished old one there’s no reason to get it in one crappy software won’t make a Lamborghini run any faster. I would definitely say 12.9 inch is a better pick Also for those wondering about a keyboard the bridge plus pro just came out and it literally makes the 12.9 like a MacBook
I’m a first responder (Fire/EMS) and I have both 11” and 12.9” M1 iPad Pros. The 12.9” is primarily at my office used for Zoom/MS teams, photo editing and teleprompter . While the 11” is what I carry with me to incidents. It has cellular coverage so I’m able to connect to my work’s VPN to access critical info or to send out evacuation orders. Both have the Logitech Combo keyboards which I find better suits my work because the case offers more protection than Apple’s magic keyboard case.
I have the M1 12.9 iPad-Pro. I’m ok with it, but the battery on my specific unit, it’s very mediocre. No, I don’t use heavy or demanding apps just (emailing, word, texting, and such) it gets very hot too.🥴 If I had to do it again, I would definitely would have gone for a MB-Air instead for all purposes & battery.
In case that I can sell my Macbook pro 13' 2019 and put some money on the top , I will buy an Ipad Pro 12.9 too. Ive watched tonnes of videos about it and still hearing all the great things what you can do in your daily routine or in your job. For me it is so important to have a strong long life device to reach my goals in my job or in my freetime. I agree a lot with you guys if you telling that i cant replace a real computer or Laptop but it works in so many ways for all these people around the world, so I have to give this masterpiece a chance too!
With regard to RAM in the 1TB model. I use Procreate daily as an artist and the extra RAM in the 1 TB does make in difference in the size of canvases and the number of layers.
When I bought the iPad Pro, I already had a m1 Mac mini and a windows laptop. I gave my laptop to my sibling since the iPad did everything I needed away from desk. Eventually, I realized I use both Apple devices for the same everyday computing just at desk and away from desk - so why do I need a mac mini if I can plug in my iPad? Alas, Apple always finds a reason to screw me over. The front camera is in the wrong place and aspect ratio is wrong for connected monitors making my mac mini still viable but unnecessary. If I knew this was going to happen I probably would've gotten a macbook which is same/over powered and portable. I just really wish the next iPad Pro fixes this - because that is my only reason to upgrade.
I got my M1 iPad to replace the MacBook Air (Intel version) I had. While I do an iMac (M1), I find that I use the M1 iPad as my primary computing device. Because unlike the desktop or my former laptop, I can literally take the iPad anywhere.
@@123theprodigy5 Thats stupid. personally i love it because i can go on apple store and watch youtube at the same time. its not apple fault most apps dont support it
Don't get me wrong, I want one like so bad, but I was lucky enough to scrape enough money together for an IPad mini 6. Are you paying for features you don't need though? You mention how the amount of ram isn't actually supported by Ipad os, and I've heard reports that the M1 chip isn't actually being pushed because none of the app developers have optimized for it yet. Is it possible that unless you absolutely love the screen (which is fair and understandable) why not go with an older IPad pro model, or the Air? Is it actually 40% better than an Air or 30% better than last years model? Because to be honest, aside from the screen, it just sounds like you are talking about how great IPad Os is. The amount of stuff I get from even my IPad mini is astonishing, you just need to know the work arounds. No, I can't use a magic keyboard, but there are pretty decent Bluetooth keyboards for like a 5th if the price, while it doesn't have thunderbolt, it is can still run an ssd like nothing else, and while it isn't jaw droppingly gorgeous, you still get solid 60hz quad HD screen that does 10 bit HDR content. The apple pencil 2 is great but it works on all models besides the budget one now. I'm just wondering if for that kind of money, an M1 Macbook air wouldn't be a far better choice that would let you do more for basically the same price. Again, if you love the screen, more power to you, 120hz is real smooth, and maybe you really like LiDAR if you do a lot of measuring, but I wonder if the Air or Mini would be sufficient for the vast majority of people. It is super cool, I just don't know if you are actually using all the power you are paying for.
I got a crazy deal last week in the UAE on Amazon. M1 12.9” Space Gray 2TB Wi-Fi + Cellular model for AED 5,999 (USD 1,633) instead of retail of AED 9,399 (USD 2,559). Wondering what to do with the beast now.. 😂😂
I feel like you need at least an Apple pencil with an ipad pro and that'll bring the price to over 1100 for the most basic model. It's just very hard to justify when a few hundred more gets you a macbook air. The screen is not as good but it is bigger so in many ways better for consuming content. To fully utilize M1 I feel like you need a magic keyboard which brings the price even higher. I think at a $800 price point it would be more convincing... I think I just convinced myself to get an ipad air.
I have the 4th gen and i love it and was thinking of getting this one but im waiting until they release the 6th gen maybe the 7th and see what they bring to the table then. The 12.9 is perfect the way it is now but im thinking they’ll add an even bigger batter and better speakers.
3d CAD is essentially my profession and hobby and let me just say, 3D modeling on an iPad is terrible compared to a computer. I tried and the experience is just clunky and not as great as using something like fusion360.
The things people complain about the iPad limitations are very irritating but if we keep buying these overpriced devices it tells Apple not to change it. We have to have "courage" and not support the company that doesn't give us what we want. The customer is always right.
I'm gonna be getting the 11" iPad Pro M1 version through my phone company. Its gonna be a while before I get it because I live in Alaska. I'm getting the 128gb model.
Major niggle: Why does the smart keyboard have no Esc key? Or Media keys? At that price it should be complete. It could also do with more viewing angles
Your complaint about landscape should be easily fixed by using the feature that the M1has to center the subject while in landscape mode. Not sure what it’s called but when I’ve seen it in action it centers the subject or subjects to the center of the screen. So to me that complaint is lame. Other than that I like your review.
I guess it depends on the price difference. I got an ipad pro 128gb 50€ cheaper than the air 5 256gb. Absolutely worth the ~120€ jump from the base model ipad air imo.
I love mine, I use a Logitech keyboard and mouse when typing, might upgrade this year to the cover, wouldn’t mind some feedback on it. As for watching things on the iPad Pro 11’ it’s fantastic, as you said “ No Comparison “. The versatility is great too, take anywhere, just whip it out, read, watch, type and you’re away, battery is good as a rule and compatibility to anything Apple 🍏 is superb. Very happy I bought this, as I was going to go MacBook Air, I already have a monitor- PC and decided on this for travel and work. Can do most things a computer can but is great for watching RU-vid reviews and music on. No real gripes, would be the ultimate machine if you had compatibility with Mac.
If you live near Microcenter they have the 256gb for 1k and the 128 for 899. And you can use your college discount if you are able too. But at this point I would not get this tablet because the next model is just around the corner. But if you are able to get this tablet at a good discounted price then go for it because the M1 chip is so good it will last a very long time. It has not even reached what it is capable of on the iPad. The prices should come down a good discount once the next model of iPad is revealed. I do not expect a big change from 2021 to 2022 but I think it is worth waiting. Apple really needs to upgrade the iPad software instead of holding it back. I think the iPad could potentially be the ultimate tablet once it happens. That is one thing iPad has over android tablets. Updates for years to come and software support. I think I am going to get the next ipad. I have the Ipad pro 2017 and ill hand it down to my sibling.
They will support multitasking as soon as all the iPads have an M1 processor. Supporting a second iPad operating system would lead to the Android trap of splintered development.
It's useless for teaching online classes (except as a very expensive whiteboard). You pretty much need to have an actual computer to do certain tasks. Beautiful screen, outstanding hardware, just severely held back by the software. For what it is able to do, you are overpaying, but it is great at all of those tablet tasks. I bit the bullet, got one, and I use it as a glorified Nexflix machine along with as a whiteboard figuring out accounting problems with my online classes.
Hey im thinking of buying the Ipad pro 2020 (12z) with 128gb instead of the M1 air 64gb. The 12z is just 20 dollars more expensive and it is apple certified refurbished. Do you think its a good buy?
I must admit that the left-edge front camera is a pisser, since I mainly use my 11" M1 256 iPad on a Magic Keyboard. Also, second-party webcams won't work on it. I just want the M1's horsepower to be released on the iPad Pro-Pro-Pro-Pro! Give me full Premiere Pro! Give me full fu@?ing MS Word! How hard is that? The M1 iPad Pro is like a superhuman titan defying space and time, but who can't decide what trousers or pair of shorts, skirt, kilt or dress to don.
