Replacing My MacBook Pro With An iPad Pro?? 

here before 100 subs! i just sold my M1 imac in lieu of an M2 12.9" cellular ipad pro and honestly couldn't be happier. i use my ipad to edit videos on lumafusion, read, browse the web, does everything my imac did but comes with me everywhere. can't wait to see your channel grow!

Been using my iPad Pro as my primary computer for a while now. I run 99.9% of my workflows on the iPad Pro, a 2017 model too! Getting a new one this year, can’t wait!

if someone need a "computer" at home. it has to be ipad. especially my parent who can't get used to a mouse and trackpad. Parents are just more comfortable using touch screens, apps, rather than typing URLs. Voice typing and searching is just on point in 2023.There's camera for doc scanning or taking random photos. use facetime, messages, whatsapp is also about to launch. Updates are years to come . M2 will last like a decade.

Great vid man glad this popped up on my home page, I have an iPad but just wasn't sure how to optimize its uses

Thanks for the video! It’s an interesting conversation. I have both a MBP and a 12.9 iPad. If I was stranded on the metaphoric deserted island and had to choose, it would be the MBP. MacOS is a more robust operating system and a more complete experience. Having said that, there will always be room in my life for the iPad. I’ve had one since iPad-1. Matter of fact, I’m using it right now. Cheers!

Just got this on my home feed. Great idea for a vid man!

keep going my friend . I like your videos. just a small advice if you update your camera, it would be great

well you miss features like apps that are just not supported by pad os, ipad unfortunately is not a laptop, functions like copy paste are weird, and sites even when configured as desktop for safari is not the full desktop version

Subscribed to a fellow new tech youtuber! Keep it going!

Great video man! Subscribed!

Great video man. As someone who owns both a Mac and iPad, I always find a reason to use both for specific reasons and to accept them for their convenience

The only problem with ipad is that it cant print using cable, cant have chrome extention since many great extensions is non on safari, dont have real office app, and the list goes on and on, even tho its a basic apps, and dont need “real computer” and powerfull pc

I think Lumafusion is way more similar to Final Cut than it is to iMovie. iMovie can’t even move text around.

Nice video quality. What camera do you use?

even though I purchased a macbook, this was a really well done review on the ipad pro

Operating system is strictly a matter of taste... some like MacOS, iPad OS, Windows or whatever else. If your preference is iPad OS, I think 85% of people could use an iPad Pro w/Magic Keyboard as their computer. Now, when you get to the 15% who need very specific software or workflows, them a traditional computer is clearly the way.

Fire vid bro what iPad would you recommend

Great video, from France

Great review. I agree. It’s super flexible and helps our workflows.

Great video!

All RU-vidrs need to do video editing and talk about tasks related to video-editing in their videos, but most of them don't realize a majority of their audiences don't do video editing in their daily life. Still appreciate the effort and liked the video, but not terribly helpful to be honest.

Great video, I’ve been iPad Pro only for a number of years, not a content creator tbh, but use it for photo editing and basic videos. Just bought an M1 MacBook Air so going the opposite way to you!

Make a video about capcut on ipad

Video editing, video editing, video editing.

The main problem with the iPad pros at this point is the software. I mean "yes" maybe it can replace some peoples workflow, but the crippled versions of the iPad apps don't really make it an appealing option imo (yet) to replace a laptop, and I honestly don't think it ever will. Apple will be too afraid of cutting their MacBook margins and essentially offering two different versions of laptops.

Good video! Thanks for laying all this out for us. One exception though. You say if a person doesn't have a laptop and they're deciding between a macbook and an ipad, they should seriously consider the ipad? You cannot be serious. Laptops, especially an uber capable one like a macbook, runs circles around an ipad in almost every way. Ipad might be decent as a second computing device, but if you don't already have a laptop, that has to be the first acquisition! I'll grant you the ipad's use of the pencil and touchscreen. And also the portability and comfort of the ipad, but even then I still prefer my macbook for comfort. I hate holding the ipad to use. I can use my macbook without holding in almost any position, slumped or not. Plus I can position the screen at any possible angle so it's ideal whereas my ipad folio stand only has 3 position and none of them are ideal. Plus I don't have to buy any stupid case for my macbook unlike the ipad. And how much for the magic keyboard on top of the exorbitant prices for ipads just to make it come close to matching a macbook? I say fock you to Apple for the ridiculous price of that keyboard. Greedy anti consumer company. Like the biggest, most profitable company in the history of the world has to keep gouging and scamming their customers. Like finally the EU made them use USB-C on iphones like they should have done long ago. How about thinking of your customers' benefits instead of always trying to put a wall up to prevent competition (i.e. what's good for your customers) instead of doing what's right for the world at large just to squeeze out a few more dollars. Or not intentionally slowing down iphones so people will go buy another one. Fock you Apple! (Even though I buy many of their products) I have many iphones and they do many things well like camera, build quality, battery life but they are still like a child's toy compared to what you can do on an Android. But the workflow of the macbook is 10x of the ipad, especially when you consider bettertouchtool for the trackpad and touchbar. Anyway, that's my opinion. Thanks again for the video!

Nice

Replaced my ipad pro with an ipad mini,the only real tablet imo. Unless apple gives an option to log into either of macOS or ipadOS at startup,i don’t see the purpose of m powered ipads barring a select few artists maybe.

Great video mate, you should have waaaay more subscribers, so here is one more! :)

Media creation? Could be... But Engineering? Definite NO. But then... It is the same M2 chip.... Why they are not allowing MacOS on iPad Pro? This will kill off MS Surface in a single blow.

The power is there, and the hardware is there, but the developers just aren’t updating the software for the core applications, such as Adobe, Microsoft, or even Apple. The challenges, and for example, not editing just one photo, it’s editing a batch. They just don’t build in those kind of features into Lightroom or any other editor I find. Nothing software-wise feels complete, nothing is easy to do efficiently . Try to save a word document internally to your iPad. It took me 10 minutes to find the option just to get around Microsoft wanting me to save it to OneDrive. I have a M2, MacBook Pro, Max and I left at home for a few day trip recently as an excuse to use my iPad more. I mean, by the time I added a keyboard and the pencil to it it cost like $1600, so I do want to try to use it. Huge mistake. Editing my photos on the trip took three times longer because no batch options. Then, when I do export them at export the photos right next to the original. Then I have to go through a guess. Which one I edited versus which one is the original. This thing is apples, redheaded, stepchild.

You can't compare the two until you can run all the software you can run on laptops on tablets.

Ypu didn’t mention if it was an 11 or 12.9 inch pro; makes a big difference. That looks like an 11-inch to me.

Great video !! Keep it up

Informative video

If they release an iPad Pro Oled this year I will be tempted to replace my MacBook Air 15 inch M2 for it!

I upgraded from my 2017 10.5 iPad Pro to the 2021 11” M1 iPad Pro. So much better. Smaller and lighter and much better screen.

Apple is purposely holding the technology field back. They're doing it to maximize profits. We should have a single device that does everything and can seamlessly switch between phone/tablet/PC. The technology has been around for years, but Apple would never do it because their bottom line will get destroyed. They get to sell basically the same device (phone/tablet/PC) to morons three times every single year. Why would they ever care to advance the field and make it more intuitive? The fact is, a current-gen iPhone has just as much power as a full-fledged computer. They should make it so it's a phone, tablet, or computer depending on how it's docked. It's the size of a phone; dock it into a 10-inch housing, and it becomes a tablet or connect it to a hub with a monitor, and it's a computer. It's a very easy thing to accomplish, but imagine Apple losing all that money by not being able to sell phones, tablets, and computers every year. The so-called green company that's responsible for more e-waste and pollution than any other company in the world because they have morons upgrading perfectly good devices every year while selling 30 different devices where one can accomplish the same functionality.

The Apple keyboard costs $269 and the base model M1 iPad Air costs $600. That's more than the M1 MacBook Air which is often on sale for $750 on Amazon. You make good points in your video about the different ways you can be productive, but personally I wouldn't be able to pass up on a MacBook Air with a real desktop OS, bigger screen, keyboard, etc... I don't want to come off as a d*ck, just replying with my opinion. Good video man. Keep it up.

can tech RU-vidrs stop trying to make the iPad what its not when its clearly limited by software. anything you can do on a MacBook is just going to be a much more watered down and inconvenient way of doing it on an iPad. the iPad is a toy and watching tech RU-vidrs try to make a case for the iPad lineup for real work is equivalent of the mmm so goof chef meme.

Underrated channel!! Great video man!
