Apple iPad. I should buy as I have fifth-generation iPad bought in 2018. It has 30 2GB memory. Only. Please let me know from your side. I am planning to buy new one for office apps & reading purposes
Can agree.. taking notes with iPad took me through the whole study phase. It’s superior. The bad thing is, I couldn’t press the undo in a paper exam. I tried it.
Apple needs to use your video for their website. This was the most professional, entertaining, and relatable video to watch without a hyper focus on the specs that many just don't get lol. Thank you for this quality review.
Strongly disagree that the 13" air is the best value for students who will mainly use it for note taking, especially with apple's education store flat rate offers after which the 13" comes out to about half over the 11. I can understand that you prefer the larger screen and your excitement that you don't have to go for the pro to get it, but paying half the price over for a 30% larger display and better speakers isn't better value by any stretch of the definition.
Samuel got me into digital note taking for my first year of university. I had a 10.2 in iPad and the 1st gen apple pencil. It was such an amazing tool and I could not imagine a better way to take notes for someone like me. I just recently picked up the new M4 iPad pro and apple pencil pro and I'm loving the experience. I cannot wait to really put it through it's paces come September.
As a student, I love the MacBook Air and iPad Air combo. I personally could not do my work on just 1. My notes taking has been digital since 2018 using GOODNOTES 5 and OneNote. I had been wanting to upgrade to the iPad Pro for the size. Now, I’ll be upgrading to the iPad Air 13inch. The 10inch is great, I and so many use it for class. For my style of writing and drawing, the larger size will suit me better. Love this video. I still have GOODNOTES 5. I see that you’re on 6. Are the improvements worth upgrading?
HELP. does ur overheat when taking notes? i’m in hs and i plan on majoring in engineering and i want one for school/college (must last 6 years) so i want the ipad air m2 128gb. but i heard of overheating issues while taking notes? notes r my primary purpose so jsut making sure.
I bought the 11inch pro and u helped me realize I made the best decision. I’m an RT going back for nursing and I need as much visuals as possible so seeing how u do your notes helps me a lot mentally lol
Very good video. My wife and I just bought the new iPad Air 13 inch ( I bought mine to supplement my 2019 MacBook Pro 16 inch mostly used for photo editing) my wife had to update her iPad 2018 for her work with the school board. We got the Magic Keyboards and the new Apple Pencil Pros. She absolutely is head over heels about the size and response of the new iPad Air. She is experimenting with the pencil for note taking in board meetings. At 73, I am content with being able to carry something weighing a great deal less than the Mac and just about equaling the speed of my Mac. All in all these are some really great tools for everyday use.
Thank you, i got mine its getting delivered tomorrow Godwilling. As a nursing student thank u for posting this video i cant wait to take notes on my iPad
I have a doubt, I am very concerned about the reaction and accuracy of the apple pencil in note apps to study, is this ipad better than the pro or is it the same?
@@harshitverma4480 I do have the air 2024 13 inch! It is very normal for the Ipad to be warm or warner during everyday usage! AS long as it goes back to normal temperature after use. Also, I have discovered some apps could be very extensive on the CPU of the Ipad which makes it warm because the Ipad is working hard. Goodnotes on my Ipad has been too extensive on my Ipad und I deleted it for notability which is less extensive.
I get my iPad in 2 days, I wish the smart folio had a spot to hold you pencil instead of it just holding onto the outside, which is the only reason I’ll be using a different case
are you gonna pick up the keynote tutorials again? your last one was 10 months ago and they'd really help me with note taking while i'm in grad school, i wanna know how you learned to design
iPad Air 2024 (M2) is the best of both worlds. I am speaking as an iPad Pro 3 & 4 gen user . I use my iPad Air for making music with garage band. General surfing/writing/ and games. The new air is equal to all those requirements and I cannot see the need for the extra cash for what amounts to cosmetics.
Anyone who wants to buy iPad Air 6 for notes taking strictly everyday as a student, I would suggest go for 13 inch. It is the size of an A4 paper. 11 inch feels too small for notes taking.
@@zahoorsheikh6560 I have always liked myself a bigger screen and as opposed to what people claim, I don't think it is heavy for me at least. 13 inch any day. It is 20k expensive but those 20k are worth it. I got myself an 11inch before, regretted, sold it at loss and got the 13 inch because of the screen size.
I have a video on my channel where I review the PaperLike Screen protector. Short answer - no, I do not as I learned to write on the smooth glass screen in my initial year of using the iPad before I even learned about the PaperLike Screen protector. I do recommend it to friends and colleagues who find it difficult making the shift from pen and paper to the glass screen.
The way you created this video is commendable. It is both entertaining and informative for individuals considering the iPad. You deserve all the acclaim you are receiving and more! Great work, Samuel.
Hi, I’m nearly 50. I’ll go back to school to study a nursing course in this fall. Would you recommend to use iPad Air 13” inch for notes taking or just a normal iPad. I used to use pen and papers for notes taking. Btw, I absolutely like your colourful notes. How to make it? Could you share your skills of making digital notes on your channel. I’m grateful for that, thanks.
Hopefully I'm not too late, but I would recommend the 13" since you're older, you'd appreciate the larger screen to read your notes more clearly especially if you're using split screen, as for note taking there are a bunch of aesthetic notetaking tips for ipads (especially for med students) all over RUclips
I’m looking into getting an iPad again I used to have the M1 Pro but I sold it now I have an m3 pro MacBook. But I still have my Apple Pencil 2nd gen and Magic Keyboard. I don’t know if I should go for the new pro or get the new m2 air as the accessories I have would work with it.
The Lighting shot transition & Editing, Colour profile is cool man. background music is really blends in with the shots. which music service are you using ? the bg score is great it made me watch it multiple times over.
i wish ipad had a horizontal split screen so i can watch my lectures and take down notes without compromising the size of the video and my digital notes but unfortunately ipad doesnt have that yet so im trying to see how good the 13 inch is im currently using an ipad air 3 and it still works really well but im trying to see if its rly worth the upgrade
what kind of a difference that you can experience while taking notes in a 60hz vs 120hz screen? is it okay or there are some lags while taking notes? please answer
Such an impressive video. I’m not a commenter or a tech person OR a huge Apple enthusiast but this is just so captivating. The video skills, the research, the writing… wow
Exactly what am I thinking. It’s not about the new stuff, it’s all about how long the duration of use can be. It could still be strong and powerful five years later
for mostly using the ipad for college would it really be worth buying the cellular option even though the college has wifi in the dorms, classrooms, etc?
🔺️I am confused which one to use for taking Ipad air 13 inch Or Samung s9 ultra 15 inch Some says apple pencil is good for artist for not that good for handwriting Wheres samsung s pen is best for handwriting I am too confused
I have owned both, Samsung is way better for note taking. iPad is good only if you’re a digital artist, for note taking, studying, organize files and so on Samsung is definitely better
But apps like good notes and notability is in ios only And also if i choose samsung, i am worried about life span of samsung and durability also@lores996
I super agree with this video, though I just updated from my 7 year old iPad Pro 10.5 to an iPad Pro 12.9 6th gen. The key reason was the display, just like you said it’s kinda important to have that 120 hrz as well as mini LED. Even though I primarily use my iPad for note taking it’s not that much of a dealbreaker for me to not get the “squeeze” function.
My last ipad is ipad pro 2017 i guess and it works well but im thinking about upgrading to ipad air 2024 because my current battery life sucks, so does the battery life deference worth it? How many hours of note taking does the battery last?
I would think the larger IPad screens would be better for artist, , photographers , and maybe a few others, while the smaller Mini would be more compatible for students . Does one really need all that size and performance to take notes.
@@AdamEfratisplit screen on 11 inch is ok but stage manger would be horrible on it for my guess, i have the 13 inch amazing with multitasking but the downside is its hard to carry around
I would look for a refurbished iPad Air or iPad Pro. $350 is much better than what it was before but some older iPads even the 2018 iPad Pro still out perform the 10th gen iPad. Plus, the 10th gen iPad is not compatible with the 2nd gen Apple Pencil which is a crime. I do love the 10th gen color options tho.
thank you smm! i’ve been waiting for the ipad air review from you😭😭, i’ve been rly contemplated on whether i should buy this or not😭 but ur vid rly helped me!! thank youu💗
If money is no obstacle then absolutely. You will be very pleased with the improvements. I remember being blown away when I upgraded from an iPad Air 2 to the current iPad form factor AKA the iPad Pro 2018. You would get the benefit of Apple Intelligence and a beautiful redesign.
I have the iPad Pro m4 11 inch and it overheats when using apple notes with Apple Pencil pro. The battery drains really fast. I had to switch to goodnotes and turn off some of the pencils features
do you have a guide on how to take notes as nice as yours? Mine look so basic. I don't think I'm using mine right or i'm not using even 40% of it compared to you who looks like you're using at 100%.
There is no quick way to take notes like that. It would have to be a hobby more than a productive way to study. If you don’t mind taking a while to make it pretty then by all means but I think it would be counterproductive in the long run.
Wow. Such an amazing review. Thank you for explaining all of this in such an accessible way. Really bought an iPad to study but unfortunately I end up using my laptop a lot more. That said, I will make more of an attempt to use it this semester.
If you don’t care about the landscape camera go for the M1 its accessories are less expensive, better refresh rate, u still get access to Apple Intelligence, the display is better, and the speakers are better.
The only difference is the camera placement and the Apple Pencil, and the refresh rate, for me i have the pro M1 and kinda want the 13 air but😂😂 its ok
@ I went with the 13 Air, I had both the M1 Pro and 13 Air and decided to go with the latter due to the weight difference. It’s not mentioned in any reviews but the weight difference between the M1 Pro and 13 Air is greater than the difference between the M4 Pro and 13 Air. This plus the pencil support with hover and click access plus landscape camera with centering sealed the deal for me. I couldn’t really tell a difference in the refresh rate or screen quality unless I was deliberately looking for it.
Hey bro, nice of you to recommend the iPad Air line up and explaining who needs it really. Later, can you make a video on which "note" taking app is best for student/educator, what do you used and the ways you used it. Will be really helpful on that part. Thanks a lot!
@@SamuelSuresh I plan to take notes on iPads for the first time and been seeing/recommending “Goodnotes” and Apple “Notes” by different people. So, would love to see the walk around and pros & cons of Goodnotes compare to apple notes or any other apps in your video.
Hi Samuel Been seeing ur content for last few weeks and loved it..I'm thininkg of buying ipad air 2024 for note-taking purpose.What would be the best screen protector i should use glass vs paperlike vs matte..Is glass good for writing vs paperlike?
Samuel i have a question for you! Can you make a video explaining step by step how to record the screen while doodling in the notetaking app (goodnotes)? 😊
I believe you have to activate that feature in the settings. Check under control center and add the screen recording option. Then swipe down from the top right of your screen to select it.
Hi Suresh, I am trying to buy new iPad Air and I have fifth generation iPad which was bought in 2018. I am now searching for an iPad which will help in note making & other work like office apps and other stuff which will be better for me please let me know your suggestions. Thank you.
Given the new iPad OS updates which should come out in a month, make sure you get an iPad with the Mseries chips if you want to have all the cool AI benefits and new note-taking benefits
@@jessthelezbian9644 These are some good, valid questions. I am thinking about getting the 11" but now wondering if a 13" would be more suitable for a split screen. Have not thought about the heating issue, that's an excellent question
I am planning to buy my new ipad which will be ipad Air 6. Will 128 GB be enough for my school purposes? And documenting all my paperworks. Or should I just get the Ipad Air 5 with 256GB😭BUT I WANTED SO BADLY THE APPLE PENCIL PRO
Anything you do with school will take practically zero space, documents will be a few MBs at most, it depends on what you're gonna download outside of school
Another Great Video Samuel! I was looking to replicate the font that you write with. Could you please let me know what settings you use for this? Thanks so much!
Sam, just saw this video. Have you considered a career in broadcasting? I feel your presentation style could lend itself to any number of topics. Very professional and a credit to you. BTW, great content!
Hey there! I have a question, for uni. and watching movie-shows yt etc. Which one should i buy; ipad air m2 11" or ipad pro m2 11" (all of them with pencil tho) ? In my country the ipad pro m2 11" is 5k more than new ipad air so which one is better for long term? New ipad is 2 years younger and it will be get more updated that's the two reason im stuck with it: m2 pro price and update stuff... 🤷🏻♀️ and also is it big enough 11"? I want to buy the 13" but the price diff is literally 10k its so much tho. I would like to state that the iPad I bought can be updated for at least 6-7 years and that I want to use it for a very long time without lag or other problems.
When I was choosing between iPads a while back I made sure to get everything high-end opting out of the cheaper Ipad Air for features I barely used after the first few days. What I would say is set a budget and pick whichever falls into your budget and your needs as these devices, however low spec compared to the others, will be good enough if not better for you. Apple has a price ladder where they have you bunk up prices insanely for a small spec by saying some words. Beleive it or not, even an M1 11'' iPad should be good enough for you to have seamless movement between apps, watch youtube and tv shows on good quality and should NEVER lag. So if you have an M2 iPad it should be even better
personally i don’t think so, i’ve owned every sized of ipad at some point (M1 12.9 Pro, Mini 6, Air M1 and M2 11in Pro) and i think the 11in is great since it’s still portable and the bezels give you a bit of space to hold the device without the screen feeling horribly cramped
@@astrangerontheinternet1 I don't care about the problems of carrying the device or if it is heavier The weight difference is slight, the most important thing is during use, for example when using Good Note or editing photos, etc. Did you see any difference or problems?
Always enjoyed your videos Samuel! The editing, vibes and everything else are just perfect! Would be awesome if you are doing a video to show your RUclips videos shooting and recording process 😊
Hey there, which should I choose at these prices (Europe 💀): iPad Air 6 (128GB) - 670€ iPad Air 5 (64GB) - 480€ iPad 10 (64GB) - 370€ I’m all about the note taking & Netflix, but no art student or similar. Thank you all in advance :)
@@bondmeet2678 probably the Air 6 because of the longevity. I’ll need it for 6-7 years and the IPad 10 won’t stack up probably because of the slower chip and it could be troublesome for the Air 5 too. But not decided yet.
Your videos are incredible, full of information and tips on how to use tools for the daily lives of Brazilian students . I would really like a new video talking about editing the videos created, after all your teaching is great.
Gonna try to wait for that Back to School sale to cop. I was gonna buy an Air 5 until I found out about that sale. Coming from a base model 7th Gen iPad will be fire. My battery has dying pretty rapidly even after turning off background app refresh and everything. I can wait for a good discount.
Easily the best informative and entertaining review I’ve seen so far! You really get me motivated to get one, (just ordered an Air 13). Keep up what you’re doing man, top notch! ✨
Nooooooo Sammy 😂 I was secretly waiting for you to take a few notes on the 13”. Could you do it for the next video? Kinda miss the laid back note taking videos 🫶🏻
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions about these new iPad down below.
which one would u choose if ur a med students for a portable person ? 11inch or 13 inch
Do you find the upgrade to the 13 inch as opposed to the 11 inch is worth it?
What song is this
Apple iPad. I should buy as I have fifth-generation iPad bought in 2018. It has 30 2GB memory. Only. Please let me know from your side. I am planning to buy new one for office apps & reading purposes
Is 256 GB enough for med student ?
Can agree.. taking notes with iPad took me through the whole study phase. It’s superior.
The bad thing is, I couldn’t press the undo in a paper exam. I tried it.
Lol😂
Good one 😂😂
I’ve gotten so used to it that when I write with pen I get mad that the line won’t straighten or forget that I can’t lasso 😭😅

256 from what i gathered
256 is best, and most affordable too
Thank you, i got mine its getting delivered tomorrow Godwilling. As a nursing student thank u for posting this video i cant wait to take notes on my iPad
Regular people only want to know if the gadget is for them. Nothing more. This video hits the ballpark, without gimmicks, nonsense, extras, etc.

Can you get your notes on the pc ?
What note taking app are you using? I find the standard Notes app doesn't have the functionality I am looking for.
He’s using goodnotes 6 I think
Any heating issues in M2 pro?
I just got a Ipad air 5th generation, what app are you using to take notes?
Great choice, best free note taking app for me is CollaNote, cheap and nice features without needing to pay
Is notability and goodnotes free?
no but there are options for one-time-purchase
128 or 256gb?
I have a 256gb iPad and I still have over 100gbs left. Plus, Apple will hound you to buy the 200gbs of cloud storage anyway so I’d go with the 128.
Great video but for note taking and basic student work… isn’t the base iPad (10th gen) the best deal…
I would look for a refurbished iPad Air or iPad Pro. $350 is much better than what it was before but some older iPads even the 2018 iPad Pro still out perform the 10th gen iPad.

Should I buy 13 inch ipad air m2 or 11 inch ipad pro m4 for digital art and animation??????
For art the OLED panel is the best but the estate of the 13” screen can be essential
But the Air’s LCD is still awesome and the videos saying the blacks are gray are false. It has p3 so you should be fine with the Air
should i upgrade? i have the mini ipad 3
If money is no obstacle then absolutely. You will be very pleased with the improvements. I remember being blown away when I upgraded from an iPad Air 2 to the current iPad form factor AKA the iPad Pro 2018. You would get the benefit of Apple Intelligence and a beautiful redesign.
Thank you! Insightful!... although the iPad Air 13 + Apple Pencil PRO is equivalent to the M2 Macbook Air!
The DILEMMA!! What say?
The MacBook is a real PC, iPad is very limited
Why not ipad pro m2, which would have the same cost with air m2
The latest iPad would be getting updates for a longer time as compared to older versions
And tbh camera at the centre position is way better for meetings and FaceTime sessions 😅
@@siidharthsharmaa I don’t see why ipads with the same chipset should have different lifespan
Can’t say for sure but I guess that would be cos of the year of making
Ipad air M2 has bigger screen, also Apple pencil pro doesn't support in ipad pro M2
Any heatting or crashing issues ?
I have the iPad Pro m4 11 inch and it overheats when using apple notes with Apple Pencil pro. The battery drains really fast. I had to switch to goodnotes and turn off some of the pencils features
do you have a guide on how to take notes as nice as yours? Mine look so basic. I don't think I'm using mine right or i'm not using even 40% of it compared to you who looks like you're using at 100%.
There is no quick way to take notes like that. It would have to be a hobby more than a productive way to study. If you don’t mind taking a while to make it pretty then by all means but I think it would be counterproductive in the long run.
Wow. Such an amazing review. Thank you for explaining all of this in such an accessible way. Really bought an iPad to study but unfortunately I end up using my laptop a lot more. That said, I will make more of an attempt to use it this semester.
Maybe iPad doesn’t simply suits your needs
Trying to decide between 13” Air and an M1 IPad Pro 12.9”. Same price.
If you don’t care about the landscape camera go for the M1 its accessories are less expensive, better refresh rate, u still get access to Apple Intelligence, the display is better, and the speakers are better.
The only difference is the camera placement and the Apple Pencil, and the refresh rate, for me i have the pro M1 and kinda want the 13 air but😂😂 its ok
@ I went with the 13 Air, I had both the M1 Pro and 13 Air and decided to go with the latter due to the weight difference. It’s not mentioned in any reviews but the weight difference between the M1 Pro and 13 Air is greater than the difference between the M4 Pro and 13 Air. This plus the pencil support with hover and click access plus landscape camera with centering sealed the deal for me. I couldn’t really tell a difference in the refresh rate or screen quality unless I was deliberately looking for it.
@@george-ng5gj wow that’s amazing yo hear, congrats
Hey bro, nice of you to recommend the iPad Air line up and explaining who needs it really. Later, can you make a video on which "note" taking app is best for student/educator, what do you used and the ways you used it. Will be really helpful on that part. Thanks a lot!
Sure thing - I use Goodnotes, and I have s video planned where I walk through why I use that App.
@@SamuelSuresh I plan to take notes on iPads for the first time and been seeing/recommending “Goodnotes” and Apple “Notes” by different people. So, would love to see the walk around and pros & cons of Goodnotes compare to apple notes or any other apps in your video.
Just wanna ask, Goodnotes really consume battery doesn’t it?
I just bought the M4, but it still consumes 10% an hour, is that normal?
Try dunking it in a bowl of water before taking notes.
Hi Samuel
Been seeing ur content for last few weeks and loved it..I'm thininkg of buying ipad air 2024 for note-taking purpose.What would be the best screen protector i should use glass vs paperlike vs matte..Is glass good for writing vs paperlike?
For me best would be a normal glass protector with a magnetic matte screen protector, for me paper like is a bit out of my budget
@ ohh.. i am currently using esr paperlike and it’s cheap and good
Samuel i have a question for you! Can you make a video explaining step by step how to record the screen while doodling in the notetaking app (goodnotes)? 😊
I believe you have to activate that feature in the settings. Check under control center and add the screen recording option. Then swipe down from the top right of your screen to select it.
Hi Suresh, I am trying to buy new iPad Air and I have fifth generation iPad which was bought in 2018. I am now searching for an iPad which will help in note making & other work like office apps and other stuff which will be better for me please let me know your suggestions. Thank you.
Given the new iPad OS updates which should come out in a month, make sure you get an iPad with the Mseries chips if you want to have all the cool AI benefits and new note-taking benefits
My iPad Air M2 overheating so hard with the use of goodnotes or FreeForm. Only my problems?
Mine also overheats a lot when doing basic tasks as watching RUclips 😔
@@sebxschavez that’s crazy!
What’s the app at 0:37? :)
I think notability
I got the 13 inch iPad Air 2024 in purple with the pencil pro-no need for the pro at all-best iPad I’ve owned-💜💜💜💜💜💜
Congratulations..
I'm looking forward to buy one, but the 60Hz refresh rate is kinda bothering me. How's the experience 😅?
@@PapyaDon you don’t notice at all
@@KerrySwartz-xn3ldohh wow
What about the finger scanning and face scanning does it bother you, i hope not😊
Here I was hoping for a 90hz display :")
Thanks for your video, you have made me finally choose the iPad air M2 13 ".
Hello, Did you go for the ipad air m2 13"? How is it? Does it drain battery fast and is the heating issues on ipad air true?
@@jessthelezbian9644 These are some good, valid questions. I am thinking about getting the 11" but now wondering if a 13" would be more suitable for a split screen.
Have not thought about the heating issue, that's an excellent question
what app are you using for note taking?
I use an app called GoodNotes 6
@@SamuelSureshis it free like no catch
@@eleceed3724 subscription
I am planning to buy my new ipad which will be ipad Air 6. Will 128 GB be enough for my school purposes? And documenting all my paperworks. Or should I just get the Ipad Air 5 with 256GB😭BUT I WANTED SO BADLY THE APPLE PENCIL PRO
Anything you do with school will take practically zero space, documents will be a few MBs at most, it depends on what you're gonna download outside of school
Another Great Video Samuel!
I was looking to replicate the font that you write with.
Could you please let me know what settings you use for this?
Thanks so much!
Im using a iPad Pro 12.9 for Like 4 months in School now and i could never go back to my old 10,5 iPad Air
Alternative pencil for ipad air M2
You inspire and I enjoy everything you produce!
do u need 120hz? not really but for that price in 2024 60hz is just unacceptable for me which is why i got the pro
Sam, just saw this video. Have you considered a career in broadcasting? I feel your presentation style could lend itself to any number of topics. Very professional and a credit to you. BTW, great content!
Hey there! I have a question, for uni. and watching movie-shows yt etc. Which one should i buy; ipad air m2 11" or ipad pro m2 11" (all of them with pencil tho) ? In my country the ipad pro m2 11" is 5k more than new ipad air so which one is better for long term? New ipad is 2 years younger and it will be get more updated that's the two reason im stuck with it: m2 pro price and update stuff... 🤷🏻♀️ and also is it big enough 11"? I want to buy the 13" but the price diff is literally 10k its so much tho. I would like to state that the iPad I bought can be updated for at least 6-7 years and that I want to use it for a very long time without lag or other problems.
When I was choosing between iPads a while back I made sure to get everything high-end opting out of the cheaper Ipad Air for features I barely used after the first few days. What I would say is set a budget and pick whichever falls into your budget and your needs as these devices, however low spec compared to the others, will be good enough if not better for you. Apple has a price ladder where they have you bunk up prices insanely for a small spec by saying some words. Beleive it or not, even an M1 11'' iPad should be good enough for you to have seamless movement between apps, watch youtube and tv shows on good quality and should NEVER lag. So if you have an M2 iPad it should be even better
The 11 inch is fine for many users. I think iPad Air m2 will last long. I remember I had an iPad in 2010. That lasted till 2017
Is the 11-inch size bad because of the large bezels, or is it good?
personally i don’t think so, i’ve owned every sized of ipad at some point (M1 12.9 Pro, Mini 6, Air M1 and M2 11in Pro) and i think the 11in is great since it’s still portable and the bezels give you a bit of space to hold the device without the screen feeling horribly cramped
@@astrangerontheinternet1 I don't care about the problems of carrying the device or if it is heavier
The weight difference is slight, the most important thing is during use, for example when using Good Note or editing photos, etc. Did you see any difference or problems?
@@NIQ245 not really, especially if you have a second device like a PC or laptop. if just have the ipad i would go for larger 12.9in
@@astrangerontheinternet1 thank you
Does this ipad heat while note taking??
Yeah mine does. Apple Air M1. This is what I came here to find out
Always enjoyed your videos Samuel! The editing, vibes and everything else are just perfect! Would be awesome if you are doing a video to show your RUclips videos shooting and recording process 😊
Mehn check out the new updates, you should do a follow up video maybe after you try them out.
Hey there, which should I choose at these prices (Europe 💀):
iPad Air 6 (128GB) - 670€
iPad Air 5 (64GB) - 480€
iPad 10 (64GB) - 370€
I’m all about the note taking & Netflix, but no art student or similar.
Thank you all in advance :)
Tell me too which one are you buying I have the same interests like you
@@bondmeet2678 probably the Air 6 because of the longevity. I’ll need it for 6-7 years and the IPad 10 won’t stack up probably because of the slower chip and it could be troublesome for the Air 5 too. But not decided yet.
For notetaking and Netflix . iPad 10 is good option. However fir long term use, I would recommend air 6
Love the way you present the things ❤
Your videos are incredible, full of information and tips on how to use tools for the daily lives of Brazilian students . I would really like a new video talking about editing the videos created, after all your teaching is great.
Love the detailed review.
This was a completely informative video!
I’m glad you found it helpful!
This is my first ipad and i love it
Gonna try to wait for that Back to School sale to cop. I was gonna buy an Air 5 until I found out about that sale. Coming from a base model 7th Gen iPad will be fire. My battery has dying pretty rapidly even after turning off background app refresh and everything. I can wait for a good discount.
Apple has an education discount on their website right now through September 30th.
i had ipad 8th gen now i feel all ipad have the same functionality just different size lol😅
Great video. Well done man.
I'm mad at RUclips for not notifying me that Samuel posted.
great video making and quality is amazing
Easily the best informative and entertaining review I’ve seen so far! You really get me motivated to get one, (just ordered an Air 13). Keep up what you’re doing man, top notch! ✨
This video is educational, calming, informative and beautifully edited. Keep it up man!❤❤
I have no will power , you are so compiling and now I’m convinced 😅
i lke yor video colour vgrading
Song name?
Nooooooo Sammy 😂 I was secretly waiting for you to take a few notes on the 13”. Could you do it for the next video? Kinda miss the laid back note taking videos 🫶🏻
