iPad Pro M4 After 2 Weeks: NOT What It Seems!

I'm 82, have used small computers since 1983 (Morrow Micro Decision 1). In the early '90s a buddy got hold of, wow, a 40MHz (?) DOS machine. When I asked him what he wanted to do with all that power, he said, "I just want to sit and watch it and let it blow my socks off." Honest. I got the M2 11 which is major hot chili sauce for my needs. I wanted an M chip for apps that already need it (video editing) or soon will. Other than that I use forScore for music (I sing) and am exploring note-taking (I write). I can't sing or write that fast, but who cares? I want to see it blaze through audio/visual chores.

I bought the 11” M4 Pro and I basically replaced my 2017 15” MacBook Pro as of right now. I’m a student and work full time. I use the iPad for blackboard, writing papers, and reading both research papers and all kinds of books. During my free time I love to edit RAW photos I took with the iPhone. I also love watching YouTube/Netflix on it and love the true blacks. Overall I am content. I haven’t used my MacBook in a while, so let’s see how long I can keep this going.

I bought the iPad M4 13" and I'll be honest I'm a sucker when it comes down to drop my money on apple products lol. I owned a MacBook Pro 16, and don't need my iPad to be a MacBook Pro, but after paying 1700 plus for the whole bundle ( Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil pro) I feel like it should be something more interesting about using a iPad Pro, it feels like a giant iPhone. the only thing I appreciate this iPad is when I open PDF's like Architectural Drawings when I'm working, and when I want to watch something at the couch, like Netflix or YouTube.( my s24 ultra can do that as well ) with that said, I think apple should create something unique with iPad OS, they don't need to make it a MacBook but they should try something like DEX where it could be a iPad and some sort of Water down Mac OS when Docked. to justify that 1700 plus pice tag 🤷🏻‍♂

Do all tech YouTubers just recycle the same 3-5 titles? Getting tired of things being “NOT what they seem!” Lol

The grainy display is a deal breaker, no way around it. Have yet to see a non grainy OLED iPad and I have visited over a dozen Apple stores. Curious to what Samsung is doing differently as they a have a similar problem ( less noticeable due to non stacked panels ). No iPhone model currently suffers from this issue so it’s exclusively isolated to Samsungs latest batch of OLED panels.

I blows me away that the OS and form factor is the same with a more powerful chip, and people thought day one there would be a different use case? It is built for the future and we must wait on developers to deliver the change in use. I knew that going in. In the meantime, I am enjoying my new screen, speed, and 11 inch instead of my old 13 inch.

11” M4 is the perfect iPad for anyone. It IS a complete different way to operate than conventional Mac and I love that about it. So easy and simple, yet so powerful underneath. So light you can carry it with you all the time, inside and outside. So versatile it is you can use it for work and fun, at anytime. No booting required, no loading apps required. Touch the screen and you are in instantly.

First time watching your content and I am impressed. In a world of either having someone approach us like a used car salesman or as a cynical self promoting insult machine that trashes everything, it was good to get a thoughtful analysis based on real usage of said device. I subscribed and look forward to viewing more of your tech reviews. 👍

Here, I bought an iPad Pro 13 Inch, 1 TB, Magic Keyboard, and Pencil Pro. Everything is beautifully designed: the OLED screen, the keyboard, the processor speed... But, people, for heaven's sake! Apple still doesn't have the software for such a product! They are trying to sell us a laptop with iPhone software (and we are agreeing to it!). The file system is useless, the cursor is terrible, selection and copy-paste don't work, almost all programs except a few from Apple look just like they do on the iPhone and have extremely minimal baby functions (Capture One, Photoshop, LR...), making them impossible to use. Even for fullscreen mode or closing a window, you have to click three times! Anyone who bought an iPad Pro should return the device to Apple after the WWDC in June, citing the reason: non-existent "pro" software for the iPad "Pro" device!

If you’ve stacked two iPads together, then maybe the other iPad’s camera bump might have scratched the screen on your iPad Pro. This happened a lot to other Youtubers when unboxing multiple iPhones to compare colors and stacking them on top of each other.

My 2018 STILL crushing it. 4gb ram and no problems. Only thing that sucks if I can’t get Final Cut Pro, but I use luma fusion and it works SOOOOO good. I get to save my money another year.

I picked up the 13” M4, and I personally think it’s too large for me. Unless you plan on using it at home I don’t think I’d be using it during my commutes, or at work. I may return it, and get the 11”

I don't know why people are so in awe of an iPad Pro. Every pro model offers the same user experience and it's never going to be a laptop replacement. It's a tablet to view content for 99% of the population and for this group they don't need the latest model.

Computer user since 1978, now retired with an iPad M1, it does 70% of what I want, but wish I could use it same as my Mac Mini, for people retired that would be a big help instead of still having to maintain a Mac OS system.

I purchased the 13" M4 Ipad Pro with cellular and absolutely love it. I don't need it to replace my 16" MacBook Pro - but I do love it for what I use it for as an Ipad. Apple has developed such an enormous following that fans will upgrade to the new devices, even if they don't need to.

I’m getting this iPad regardless bc it’s time to change my old 2018 iPad Pro. And when I get it I won’t change it again until it’s no longer useful.

I just ordered the 13” iPad Pro today with 1 tb and cellular from AT&T. After thinking about it I went and got it. Should be here sometime Friday. Didn’t need to upgrade from the 12.9” M1 but I did anyway. Hope it’s worth it.

We keep asking if an iPad can replace a laptop. Apple has no interest in truly consolidating the devices - Apple is quite happy that we buy both.

As a Canadian hockey fan, I must say your editing of NHL headlines and clips had me laughing, very well done… so subtle yet … lol perfectly done.
