The pencil makes some differences. For illustrators, the Apple Pencil is a tool that don’t have equals. The new iPad with that ram, can be a beast for illustrators, retouchers, etc. The display is an advantage too. I hate to pay that money, but for pro work, portability and apps, the iPad it’s my choice. I have first gen iPad Pro, and I use it 99 % of my time.

I know this is only my personal anecdote, but the thing that made me get an iPad over a laptop is that you can download shows on streaming apps. Only the mobile versions let you do that for whatever reason. I needed lots of onboard storage and the ability to download videos and shows because I live in a rural area. Yes, that’s a mostly entertainment use case, but that was the deciding factor for me in my personal life! People who use these for work or creativity will have different needs.

Love your content. I ended up with both. I got the iPad on a whim because there was one available at my local store. Using it to write this actually. With the 1st gen magic keyboard which fits the new 12.9 just fine, it’s just a little heavier when it closes. Anyway, the MBA M1 basically replaced my desktop computer setup connected to a 32” 4K monitor last winter. I was able to trade in my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 so I basically got this new big boy for half the price with 256. The new iPad is a couch computer. I use it for airplay, RU-vid, emails, social media… The most basic shit, because I’m retired, but I wanted to see this screen so bad and it does not disappoint. Not a thought of regret. I’ve been using this thing in the same way since the magic keyboard launched last year. External support for iPad with M1 is a joke. WWDC better fix it by giving us hope. We deserve full screen 4K airplay mirroring. There’s so much power, especially with the new 2021 Apple TV. Sorry for all the words.

@furatceylan8 3 года назад

Excellent comparison Gary! I have the 2020 12.9" iPad Pro and got myself an M1 MacBook Air. I love and use both of them. However - and this is important - iPadOS and the iPadPro is a farcry from a real computer, Mac or otherwise. Repeat after me: An iPad is not a computer - it´s a tablet that can be similarly used, if your use is fairly simple. That being said, I love my iPad Pro and I occasionally use it instead of my MacBook - for video editing, design, even media consumption. But, good luck managing your files, personalizing and managing multiple libraries, users, plugging in other devices... If and when iPads are able to have multiple boot options (with and w/o MacOS) then we´re talking! However, I have lower than low expectations on that front. I guess WWDC will maybe shed some light on this next week.

@furatceylan8 3 года назад

@@thewatchmanstudios6257 more power to you! When I hear and think computer, there are quite a few things the ipad and ipad os don´t fit. I agree that you can do marvelous work on the ipad, especially if you´re a creative. I use mine for video editing, photo editing and design - this is not "simple work" - but, the workflow has to be fairly simple - create/ import file, work on file, export file - here is where the ipad experience falls apart, in my experience. I used 4-5 different design apps (from simple drawing to complex pixel and raster design) - and you know what, when you export the file, you are limited by the apps settings and by the files app/ ipad os capabilities. Never struggled with files, cloud drives, or even airdrop? I love how easy to work with the ipad is in general, how mobile you can be with it. But unless WWDC brings some serious macos-like features to it, I refuse to call it a computer. You can do (almost) all the things on ipad with the iphone, even with an ipod touch, some things even on the apple watch - you don´t call them computers, do you? Granted, iPadOS has made big steps toward being a fully fledged general computer OS - but it´s not there yet.

I have both the iPad Air and MacBook Air M1. I use the MBA for work and my iPad Air is my personal computer. My uses on the iPad are portable gaming, photo edits, answering emails, responding to job posts, and media consumption. The MBA is better for work because of connecting to external monitors, web conferencing, and file management. My workflow consists of being able to do everything through the Safari web browser, and in my opinion, Safari is still better on macOS than iPadOS. I will however be turning in my Air for the 11inch iPad Pro as it is more portable and I am curious about the direction Apple will be taking the m1 on the iPad, so like everyone, I will be looking forward to WWDC.

Bought the base M1 MacBook Air and upgrade RAM to 16GB… then pulled the trigger on the 12.9 M1 iPad Pro. I have had the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2 with my 2018 iPad Pro so it’s nice those accessories work with my 2021 12.9. I will say, though many people compare the M1 MacBook Air to the M1 iPad Pro, they serve very different roles for me. The iPad Pro is my every day multi purpose device for school-Notability, email, web, videos, some occasional Office apps, RU-vid. I use my M1 MacBook Air for exams, majority for PowerPoint, Word, Excel, which are far better on macOS than iPadOS, and Anki. I have to have a macOS device for school so it’s nice to have the pair. When I am done, I’ll probably only use whatever iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard/Apple Pencil combo is out. It’s just too versatile with the multiple ways to interact with iPadOS.

@dacracking5768 3 года назад

It’s not even a question, the MacBook Air wins out. You need to accessorise the fuck out of the iPad for it to get a keyboard and stand a chance, by that point the price exceeds the MacBook Air which by the way had access to real programs. I’m eddying 4K vids in my MacBook. Type comfortably on the key by, and explore with the trackpad. The bigger screen also helps as well as the higher amount of storage by default. It’s not even a question. The battery life is also nothing to scoff at either.

I’m trying to make illustration and pattern design my full time job. Maybe I’ll be doing some light image and video editing. I have a touch screen Microsoft laptop and it just isn’t the same for artwork (I still have no interest in swapping it for a Mac). This has enough power and it’s more versatile than a Wacom cintiq. I don’t think the “Pro” in iPad Pro applies to every career, but it certainly does to mine.

being able to use your ipad pro as a second monitor while you're traveling with your air is a pretty sweet feature

I bought my ipad from a cellular company so I have the cellular that way I don’t have to worry about wi fi. It works pretty well. Most of the time i use my wi fi at home. I dont like using wi fi in coffee shops etc as they are open networks. I recommend getting an ipad with duo capabilities. If you travel you can buy wi fi service from the company or airline? I cant remember. Those are my thoughts on this. Apple has better battery life than most tablets and computers…i used to be a pc person and android tablet lady…i do not regret the switch… sorry I should have commented after done with the video instead of doing separate comments.

@live4yourself_ 3 года назад

The main issue with this argument is trying to get work productivity solely from a tablet. The OS alone on the iPad kills this argument so the video is kind of redundant. Hopefully Apple changes that someday but it’s not there yet.

@mbamindpodcast 3 года назад

so disappointed in iPadOS 15. I was hoping to move to iPad only but wishful thinking. I do real estate photography and need to merge bracketed photos. I have to use a third party app on my desktop to do this. I would love to do this on my iPad.

I have an M1 base MacBook Air and a 2018 iPad Pro. I have to say, I'm not very impressed with how my photos come out when I use the MacBook for photo editing. I think I'm going to stick with the iPad in the future because photo editing is so important to me. Plus, one must consider how the iPad is a more secure device according to what I've read. The iPad's screen ratio is also more native to photo editing.

I have the iPad Pro 12.9 2020 model and the keyboard case and i love it! The keyboard is so nice to type on. I was skeptical about buying it. I got it on sale from best buy at 199.99. I also have the Apple Pencil. I love using the iPad and for my needs it’s really nice and practical.

@emiel333 3 года назад

Great comparison. I’ve bought an iPad Pro 2020 instead of the M1. It was on a huge discount recently so for me it was a nobrainer. Got 256GB and paid hundreds less than the entry level iPad Pro M1.

@CathandMel 3 года назад

I had these two under consideration, I was torn between the two devices. I wanted the M1 iPad cause it was more portable and it was way overpowered compared to the competition. but where it fell off for me is the iPadOS. Creativity and multitasking wise, the M1 Macbook Air is way better for the price and I don't have to buy tablet cover that'll burn my pocket even more. plus 1 more USB-C port. it comes with a built in keyboard as well and a more powerful 30watt charger. So I believe M1 Macbook Air is the better value between the two.

@jameglittlejohn8585 2 года назад

I’m currently torn for the exact same reason and considering that now the M1 iPad Pro is discounted makes it even more of a great deal. However, because of what you just said, MBA is still a better buy until Apple fixes those issues with the iPad Pro.

@CathandMel 2 года назад

@@jameglittlejohn8585 well the Macbook Air M1 was also going on sale during the Christmas season. But yeah it’s a tough choice, but in the end you gotta weigh what’s more important to you. If you think you’ll get more work done with the ipad? By all means go for it. If you think you’ll be more productive with the macbook air, then you can choose that option. But I’m sure you’ll the iPadOs crippling when it comes to files system. The ipados desktop doesn’t work like the MacOS where you can have easy access to your files on the desktop. In ipados you get this little folder where all your files go. The iPad just isn’t ready to replace an ultrabook just yet.

Simple answer. I don’t like MacOS. And touchscreen/Apple Pencil. Very simple answer for me! I have a desktop…I don’t need a outdated style laptop. iPad is NOTHING like a MacBook.

@RonaldBrown59 3 года назад

Great video comparison of these two M1 devices. I really like the M1 iPad Pro, but it's just price to high considering how limiting the software is.

@byronandrew23 2 года назад

I love Ipads and macs, my gripe with ipads OS and all mobile OS is their limitations for software. Everything can be run on mac or windows. This is a tough one, as I rarely have any trouble but there have been times on iPad I've wanted a proper computer OS again due to software I want to use not being available. I like the idea of having a macbook air and an ipad air for taking away with you, magazines, sport watching etc.

I absolutely love this combination and the fact that I can extend my MacBook Pro desk top across the 39” monitor and the IPad Pro via sidecar is outstanding for the work I do. I’m waiting to see what the new M2 MacBook Air turn out to be.

The MBA M1 is amazing - and I suspect, an anomaly. I doubt Apple will release anything with this level of power and portability at this price point ever again. I certainly hope I'm wrong though.

@bello1026 3 года назад

Agreed. I think the reason the MBA M1 is so "cheap" is because they needed a bait to introduce the new chip/tech. But it is kinda hard imagine another MBA starting at $999 in the future. Hope we are wrong. Peace

I have MacBook Pro m1 and iPad Pro 2020 plus iPhone, if I’m honest I’d drop the ipad completely in favour of a pro max phone for consumption (currently on XR) the phone mac linkage is ace and negates the ipad apart from the pencil if you use it. I bought the iPad Pro with dreams of digital note taking but reality is I seldom use the pencil and have recently started dictating notes on my phone as my handwriting is dire.

@travelbug4251 3 года назад

I love creating 3D models on iPad Pro (2021 & 2018) and the main reasons are touch screen and pencil. To be honest, the upgrade from 2018 to 2021 does bring a better screen, but the CPU shines to be bored, even with Shapr3D modeling, which works perfekt on 2018 too. If macOS apps are not coming to M1 iPad Pro, I would suggest to stay with 2018. My personal experience as an owner of both (one will change the owner. ;-)

@ryanps1598 2 года назад

Is it overkill to have both? Had the iPad+Logitech combo touch since launch and just bought an M1 Air, but even after a few days I'm starting to wonder what my use case for the Air actually is...

@richmond833 2 года назад

oh my god! thank you so much! I have a 2019 macbook pro. Then bought an M1 mac mini. Since then, I seldom use my mbp (especially when staying at home). I'm considering replacing my MBP as it's very slow now. But not sure what to buy - either an IPAD PRO or an M1 Macbook air, this just maybe helped me decide.

@stevemcclure2879 2 года назад

Huge fan and love the channel! I agree with you about the Mac Mini & iPad combo. That is what I did and love it. I really like the slate form factor of the iPad and use my Mac Mini when I need to do something the iPad Pro will not; which is very little. The only thing I can't currently do on my iPad Pro is FileMaker development.

@AxlAxeMan 3 года назад

dongable is an excellent word, both in meaning, and to say

@orlybabe 3 года назад

I think the perfect combo for anyone is the M1 MacBook Air and iPad mini 6. The former for work, mainly kept at home, the latter one you can take with you everywhere for leisurely stuff like gaming, media consumption, browsing, social media, drawing, taking notes. I'm dropping the idea of the iPad Pro being a laptop replacement, until they fix iPadOS or run MacOS on the Pros. Besides, having two iPads feels a little... counterintuitive? And I would much prefer the Mini, nothing beats the portability of it.

@Wusyaname_ 2 года назад

Same here. I have a MacBook Pro 14”, and have been debating getting the iPad mini 6 or waiting for a OLED or even 120hz model. Probably getting a iPad mini 6 though because I could be waiting for nothing. Don’t like my iPad gen 8 because of 32gb, old design, laminated display, and being too big. Gonna use my MacBook Pro mainly for video editing, school work, and some use at home, then iPad mini for taking lecture notes, light gaming, watching movies and videos, etc. Was originally gonna but an iPad Pro instead of 14” also, but the software is definetely not laptop worthy, and the 14” mbp is a lot more powerful, and can actually be utilized.

@mitchjames9350 2 года назад

Why have an MacBook Air for home when you can get the iMac with the M1. Better yet standard iPad with the M1 iMac and MacBook Air for work outside of your home.
