    I love a new Apple product as much as the next person, but when it comes to iPads, you need to think long and hard before you shell out serious money for the Pro model. I'm not saying they are useless, I'm just saying you better have a reason in mind why you need all that power and screen real estate before you spend over $1,300.

    I think honestly it all comes to simply if said person can afford it or not. The iPads definitely seems to be getting more expensive each iteration but people that make well over 6k+ a month are not complaining like successful tech RUclipsrs for example. It’s definitely a discussion that should be made more especially with today’s economy.

You wouldn't need a laptop either and in the case of MANY consumers, they wouldn't need a desktop. If you're savvy enough it could replace a phone as well. I just read the last part of what you said, and that's a decision I absolutely would never stand by. I'd never get something because my friend has it.

I love chromebooks, but couldn’t find one as small, as light and even as close to as fast. I also use apps like CapCut and Adobe Lightroom and Canvas. Is it way over priced? Yes, but I use it out on location all day. I even use the camera to video clients for gait analysis and I can use my finger to draw lines and notes I can send to them. Can’t imagine running my business without it. Also great for all my social media marketing. And yes RUclips.

      Right, but that’s your reason for buying. No one said don’t buy it. I said make sure you have a reason in mind. If that’s your reason, have at it. But a tablet isn’t a TV on the wall. Bigger isn’t always better for how we view content sitting down that is next to our face.

      @@StevealiciousTech right and I’m happy with that choice. We have a mixed choice of what we watch in our house so we watch more on tablets these days probably than the TV :) so it makes sense to me to choose the best display that fits in my budget. My point is that a lot of youtube videos (not pointing fingers) downplay consumption, and focus on productivity. Most people at home don’t do that much productivity with their computers - I’d be money on mostly they browse the internet and watch videos and maybe do some occaional office suite stuff for balancing the budget or writing a shopping list etc. That perspective gets skewed with content creators emphasising workflows they are familiar with and consumers consuming that get a disproportionate view of what they ‘should’ be doing with a device.
      agree with you completely - find your use case and a device that works for you with that. For me and I think many people, an ipad fits that. Apple got some ridicule for the ‘whats a computer’ ad a few years ago but I think they’re right to a degree.

      @@MrKlawUK consumption isn’t downplayed. I basically say it’s one of the few reasons people use a tablet at all. My point is more the M4 engine and the price. There are tablets with gorgeous displays for half the price. If consumption is your use case, save yourself some money is the idea. If you are making people pay for power, give them a use for it.

    Long comment, I'm thinking I'll watch the WWDC next month first, as well as watch different RUclips reviews on the newer iPad. I'm hoping iPad will get an OS update to take advantage of M4 power, and apps that take advantage of M4 chip power (desktop like apps). I've been thinking of getting the new iPad with M4 chip, it's so tempting. I have an older and underpowered iPad 6th gen with 1st gen Apple pencil. I also have an underpowered MacBook Air that's aging. I can't really do work on there. I tried uploading my 3D project in my MacBook Air and it just froze. Drawing is restricted by layers so I combine layers on my iPad. I plan on doing animation along with 3D sculpting, plus the Lidar Scanner, I always wanted to scan to put into my projects. I want to video edit the animations on iPad since it would be a time saver but video editing apps is only for newer iPads. I'm still thinking about purchasing since it is a lot of money but I'd like to future proof it. I was considering a MacBook Pro but I'm thinking I'd rather wait for the M4 Max chip in MacBook Pro to come out, at least hopefully by then I'd have saved up enough money. I currently have a beefy Windows laptop which I do most of my 3D work in. I'm really looking forward to 3D sculpting on my iPad with extra power, I may be able to do extra details which will be nice. The loud fans from my Windows laptop gets picked up by microphone which is annoying even with noise surpression. So I'm guessing if I do get the iPad with M4 chip, I will definitely get the Apple Pencil but also include the keyboard, it will become my daily Apple driver. Plus the quietness of the iPad, no loud fans lol. I'm hoping by doing this it will increase the lifespan of my Windows laptop, I've been using that everyday. I don't mind being a multiple device user, lol. That's just me

    So I'm an artist and I want to get this for drawing. I mostly use clip studio paint and it's exactly the same on the iPad. Most artists that I've talked to said digital painting and drawing doesn't use very much processing power. Do you think I should go with like the eight gigs of RAM or 16 gigs of RAM? Because like to get a 16 gigs you need to buy the 1 TB. And with all the add-ons it's like $3,000. That's like a lot. Would you suggests like waiting like a month for them to announce that update for that event that they're having next month?

The performance would be fine and I'll looking it more for the better display and the speakers on the Pro. iPad Pros have been gimped by the software limitations. No point in getting a Pro when Macbook Air would be cheaper and you don't have to pay extra for a keyboard.

    I bought an iPad 9th gen for this exact reason. I knew exactly what I wanted it for. I just wanted to stream Hulu, Disney Plus and Prime. That's it. I got it for $220 and it's been great. Lately I realize that I'd like to browse the Internet as well. The iPad is terrible at this for me because of pop-ups and the lack of ability to use a GOOD adblocker. Firefox isn't Firefox either. Google ran a promo that gives me the Pixel Tablet for $27 if I give them my iPad. It arrives tomorrow. Also, what I love about Android is that for the tasks you mention, even light coding, the Android tablet can actually pull this off. Apple set out to prevent this sort of thing.
