I'm not in the market at the moment - happy with what I have - but this video is the best for making decisions by splitting it into people. Fabulous video. Alex.
Brilliant load of info there Alex, thanks 👍 😃Although all this talk of Paperlike and you’ll be starting your videos with “hey it’s Chris” 😂 (Do you know who I mean, lol)
I have the 13 inch Pro and I’m really struggling about whether to go down to the 11 Pro or not. I run a business and do creative work. I typically hand write notes on the iPad Mini but want to use the Pro for that. 13 inch just feels too big for handwriting and admin purposes. What do you think?
Hey Alex, sorry about the delay in responding! I reckon the M2 iPad Pro would be perfect for that use case (that's what I still use sometimes) or the 11" M4 iPad Pro of course, but only if you have the budget and don't want to upgrade for a while.
As far as I can see, the price between the 2022 iPad Pro 13" and the 2024 one is only £100, with the same amount of storage. It's not worth going for the older model.
You're right, in that scenario it wouldn't make much sense, not between the Pros. But between the new Air and the older Pro, I think some people might benefit from the better display on the older Pro.
But which one is best for watching porn 😮😮😮..I actually watched your video on my Samsung ULTRA 9 ... best screen/ aspect available without going to a 16 " ( thinking of porn again) device ..😅😅 ..
Haven't tried the Vision p**n yet, I mean Vision Pro yet. I hear that will be good for entertainment, and will free your hands for better multitasking 👀 But if you are after a handheld device, then the iPad Mini will be a good one (so I hear)
As someone who loves iPad over an iPhone. My pick this time around has changed a tad bit. iPad Pro 11 inch: If I can get a great deal. iPad Air (new one) mainly for software, longevity, and bigger, and that Apple Pencil Pro ( benefits with its total price)
Yes, it's good but I think it will really depend on personal preference and what you are used to. It may be worth getting a larger display if you prefer bigger screen real estate over performance.
@@AlexGTech am hoping for OLED also. I hope they don’t go the route of the iPad Pro, and they just give us more battery. I would also like the option of regular iPad mini but also upgrade and give us one with a Pro Chip. At least 90hz and Apple Pencil Pro support
I bought a used M2 Pro from CEX a couple of weeks ago. A beast of a machine for my photo editing. The M2 is more than capable for it, no need for me to spend an extra £500 for the M4.

I already have the magic keyboard and alot of cases for the M2 12.9...I truly dont know if i want to spend another 1200-1500 on the ipad and extra 500-700 for everything else...I dont think oled is that serious for me right now. Maybe next year i will be financially better..
@@AlexGTech what should I get 13 air m2 or 11 inch m4 pro for digital art and animation and it is my first ipad so I don't want old generation and my concern is that does 11 inch ipad feels small for digital art and animation???? Pls reply
Hi. Is there any differences in watching movie experience (for example on netflix) between the ipad air M2 and the ipad pro M4, in terms of their displays?
yes, but only really that noticeable if you put them side by side. I personally noticed the 60Hz display straight away, but in context, I am looking at OLED displays all day long...
Don’t be sorry, it’s ok to have your own opinion. I wanted to reserve judgement until I saw and tried one myself and I can now say that my suspicions were right. But that is from my own perspective. Yes the nano texture is smooth like I said in the video, but I still prefer the feel of a matte protector, whether Paperlike or any other, that is just my preference for writing/drawing. Maybe e I will do a (non-sponsored) video about the different displays and protectors out there 🤔
After using both the ipad air m1 and ipad pro m2 I simply see myself buying the ipad air m2 as an architect I would only use it for reading blueprints on site or meetings with clients, field reports using numbers, pages or keynote and media consumption 😁😁
Yup! I totally get that. In 2021 I bought myself the iPad Pro with 16GB of RAM as my personal device, and it ended up collecting dust most of the time. Such a shame really as it’s a superb piece of hardware!
@@AlexGTech Yes, it was too much for myself too and I mean, in the end i'm going to get the air m2 and teach myself some stuff like dedicated drawings in procreate, indesign and AR
Amazing! It’s such a great size. I am a Fold 5 user myself so I can definitely appreciate that mini-tablet design. I am waiting for a new Mini version, I was kinda hopping it would be announced with the Pro and Air…
I was actually OK with my 2'nd generation iPad Pro 11. But it will age out of software at iOS 18. I use it more than any other device except maybe my watch (I wear one 24/7), so I needed a new one. I'm planning on making some RUclips videos and will see how editing works on it. But I have a desktop if it doesn't. I ended up with the iPad Pro 11 M4. I did choke on the price, but that screen is splendid. I'm spending a quiet holiday weekend and watched some things, like Dune 2, on it and it was just gorgeous. I'm hoping that WWDC expands ways I can use it. But for now, it still does many applications I need and is oh so portable. Thanks for the video. I subscribed.
You gotta give it to Apple, these things do last a long time! I think it’s a great device to start with on content creation, even if, like I said, it’s just an additional tool to your setup. Looking forward to WWDC as well! And welcome to the channel, I really appreciate that 🥰
Having the Paperlike sponsorship should have stopped you from discussing the nano-texture. I’ve watched multiple artist videos and 6 out of the 7 highly recommended the nano-texture glass despite several also being sponsored by paperlike. So many RUclipsrs sell their integrity to the highest bidder.
Hi there, you’re welcome to your opinion, no worries. I shared mine here and I decide what I should or shouldn’t do, respectfully. People who know me know that I have no interest in advertising stuff for the sake of it. If you see it on this channel it’s because I used it and would recommend it. Like you, I’ve also seen and know artists who are reviewing the nano texture and the one artists I trust the most (he has two, 1M+ sized channels) confirmed what I also thought, that the nano texture did nothing for him. I reserved judgement until I saw it in person, and what I saw is a very smooth surface that gives you a bit of feedback, but still a very slippery screen for drawing. That artist recommended several matte protectors, not just Paperlike, but I also saw a couple of other artists saying they like the nano texture. But when I looked deeper… One never showed the difference between them and the other said it was not so much the pencil but how the hand glided better on the nano-texture. Something you can achieve on a standard iPad with an artist glove. It’s my opinion, you don’t have to agree with it 😉
@@AlexGTech I do disagree and gave you my reason why. It’s not a new concept that financial incentives can influence opinions. Maintaining profitable relationships with sponsors is clearly the holy grail in tech RUclips today. It’s so pervasive in social media “reviewer” has been replaced with “influencer”. If you’re talking about Brad G, he was the one out of 7.
Thanks for your video. I’m an illustrator so currently have the M2 iPad Pro which is perfect…..however have decided to save up for the M4 as I would like a lighter iPad and I love OLED. I will still keep my current iPad.
Nice! Yes, that difference in weight does make a difference! I do think that OLED Is insanely good! Would you consider the nano-texture version? I am finding that a very interesting choice, considering how much that is going for.
Thanks Chris! Yeah I agree, I think I mentioned the M1 iPad Pro, if you can get a decent condition one, that thing is still a beast for most workflows!
Haha, I love the thumbnail 🙂 Very informative Alex 👍👌I have zero interest in purchasing any iPad myself, but I will for my wife when the need arises as she likes the iPad.
I'm in healthcare. I tried rotating with M1 11" iPad Pro and other times with M1 10.9" iPad Air. (Both my sisters'). It's heavy when holding while standing for prolonged hours. And when sitting on a desk, it's not big enough to multitask. To be productive during studying, I have to be at home so I can connect to an external monitor and extend the display -using Stage Manager- in order to handwrite on iPad and read and type on the extended display with mouse and keyboard. Having a mini for the hospital is practical, but it's outdated and overpriced for what it provides. Liked 👍
Definitely a trade-off there with the Mini, I agree. I hope they bring an improved version this year, was kinda hoping it would have been announced by now
Hey Alex! Do you think it’s worth switching from the 10.5inch iPad Pro to the M2 Air? I use the iPad as a supplementary device so I don’t think it’s worth upgrading to the new pro, but I’m wondering if getting the new Air will have any benefits (aside from being able to spend more money on the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil pro lol)
If the current Pro you have is a M chip, I’d say you’d be going backwards but if it’s the older model, then the Air would be a nice upgrade, thinner, etc. but the downside as you said, the accessories are not cheap! Another consideration is the M2 iPad Pro, which should have come down in price by now in some stores
Im just going to keep my M2 IPad Pro with Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil for now, it’s great to check my email, play games, and checking the weather… 😉
It’s gotten worse… 😢 I managed to fix mine for a few days by clearing the cache but looks like the update made no difference… Getting about 4.5 hours SOT and not even that busy…
I’ve got the M2 12.9in iPad. And it’s more than enough for me. There have been times when, for my use case (nomad contractor/architect), I wish I had bought the 11in iPad as the big one is heavy and cumbersome. For the other times I’m on my desk, I’m extremely happy having the extra realstate screen. Moreover I have the Luna adaptor which functions as a second touchscreen whenever I need to communicate with clients over the web (I’ve also tried duet) which is really helpful. Honestly, this new generation, either you are upgrading big time (2 3 generations) or you don’t really need to. The iPad is really limited by its OS and I have only encountered 2 apps where the beefy processor helped. Either way, Good video. Ps: what was that Cad app at around 12:40? edit: spelling.
Hi there! Thank you! That app is SketchUp. I agree with you, unless Apple pulls something out of the bag in June at WWDC, making the M4 more capable, it will be hard to justify an upgrade…
My budget is tight so should I buy 11 inch ipad pro m4 or 13 inch ipad air for digital art and animation and vfx stuff . Which iPad should I buy ?? Does 11 inch ipad pro feels small for digital art and animation pls reply on the ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hear you! I would say the best for this would be the M1 iPad Pro then. Amazing display and performance. The only downside will be battery as it’s now 3+ years old, but if not that, the M2 iPad Pro is a good choice too. 11” is not too bad for digital art, but of course the bigger display will be better. Hope this helps
@@AlexGTech but here in India it is impossible to get it because apple refurbished stores are not here officially and I don't trust local stores. So it's only between 13 inch m2 ipad air or 11 inch m4 ipad pro . My main concern is that does 11 inch ipad pro feels small for digital art and animation?????
I would say try one in store before purchasing it if you can, because it's small. I have the M2 iPad Pro in 11" and really enjoy it but I only use it for basic things like notes, content and 'some' photo editing
Ditto, each time can't lean to touch the lock button to unlock when sitting on my desk for video calls etc. Also the 120hz is nice as used to on iPhone. But the best part is the display quality when watching HDR content
I actually enjoy the TouchID design on the Air. Wish I had that on the iPhone and the iPad Pro too. I guess it’s a preference thing but I am always changing looks and FaceID doesn’t always like that, even if I register multiple looks like with glass and cap/no cap 🧢
@@andrewsartain9870 Haven’t used it on a plane yet, but have used it in my pickup and it works fine in that confined space so should work great on a plane.
Another excellent comparison video Alex. So for what I use the iPad Pro 12.9 with the M2 processor no real reason for me to upgrade yet? I only wish the new Apple Pencil would work with the M2 Pro but still not enough reason to upgrade I don't think have a great week👊🙏
Yeah I think you will be more than ok with the M2 for a while still. also, you may have noticed I mentioned a certain friend who once told me about the iPad mini 😊
@@AlexGTech yes I noticed that Alex :-) I actually use that every day I just love the portability and it's still powerful and I believe it only has the 15 chip in it. Would it be nice if they put an M processor in it someday👊🙏
Thank you! I used one from Adobe Stock, but I will try and create my own soon. If you ping me a DM on Instagram (alexgtech) I can let you 'borrow' it ;-)
Hi. It’s such a difficult choice. Balancing not overspending v making use of in future. I’m trading my mini 6. Was going to get Air and now debating whether extra investment in pro for screen, refresh etc… am I just falling for marketing or will I regret it 😂 Life’s dilemmas and all that
I purchased the 11 iPad Pro (traded in my M1 model). Absolutely love it and no regrets. The screen is stunning and the M4chip will keep me happy for years. I’m not a heavy or pro user but it’s my ‘only computer’ so I simply wanted the best I can get…so I did 👍🏻
Hello! What are the main reasons that made you consider moving from the Mini to the Air or Pro? I’m actually considering the opposite because my Air 4 doesn’t get as much use as I would have liked. When I’m on the go I rather use my phone, then when I’m home or in the office I’m using my MacBook. I’m thinking the Mini will be more wieldy on the go or on the bed/couch which will encourage me to use it more.
I'm not in the market at the moment - happy with what I have - but this video is the best for making decisions by splitting it into people. Fabulous video. Alex.

The only downside will be battery as it’s now 3+ years old, but if not that, the M2 iPad Pro is a good choice too. 11” is not too bad for digital art, but of course the bigger display will be better. Hope this helps
@@AlexGTech but here in India it is impossible to get it because apple refurbished stores are not here officially and I don't trust local stores. So it's only between 13 inch m2 ipad air or 11 inch m4 ipad pro . My main concern is that does 11 inch ipad pro feels small for digital art and animation?????
I would say try one in store before purchasing it if you can, because it's small. I have the M2 iPad Pro in 11" and really enjoy it but I only use it for basic things like notes, content and 'some' photo editing
You would have been a good doctor 🤣
I am a doctor 😂 Good to see you here Mark!
@@AlexGTech seriously?
iPad air is enough for my needs but doesn't have a face ID which forces me to get iPad pro.
Ditto, each time can't lean to touch the lock button to unlock when sitting on my desk for video calls etc. Also the 120hz is nice as used to on iPhone. But the best part is the display quality when watching HDR content
I actually enjoy the TouchID design on the Air. Wish I had that on the iPhone and the iPad Pro too. I guess it’s a preference thing but I am always changing looks and FaceID doesn’t always like that, even if I register multiple looks like with glass and cap/no cap 🧢
I quite like TouchID to be honest. But I understand, it can be a pain
Merci !
thank you!!
Think you nailed it. Sales Professional (which I think qualifies as a Business Professional) and I’m using the 11 iPad Pro w/MKB.
Have you used the 11’ w mkb on a plane? What’s your main use case? In tech sales and looking at upgrading but don’t want to make the wrong decision
@@andrewsartain9870 Haven’t used it on a plane yet, but have used it in my pickup and it works fine in that confined space so should work great on a plane.
Saudações brasilianas 🎉
obrigado!! Logo mais tem video no canal em Português também!
Another excellent comparison video Alex. So for what I use the iPad Pro 12.9 with the M2 processor no real reason for me to upgrade yet? I only wish the new Apple Pencil would work with the M2 Pro but still not enough reason to upgrade I don't think have a great week👊🙏
Yeah I think you will be more than ok with the M2 for a while still. also, you may have noticed I mentioned a certain friend who once told me about the iPad mini 😊
@@AlexGTech yes I noticed that Alex :-) I actually use that every day I just love the portability and it's still powerful and I believe it only has the 15 chip in it. Would it be nice if they put an M processor in it someday👊🙏
Mini with M-chip will create a price problem where Apple doesn’t have a gap for it. Could see the Air 11-inch getting dropped to make room.
Not sure I'd worry about the M-chip but they will definitely catch my attention with an OLED iPad Mini
Thank you very much Alex for your great video 👍 Which wallpaper do you use? It looks fantastic… Uwe
Thank you! I used one from Adobe Stock, but I will try and create my own soon. If you ping me a DM on Instagram (alexgtech) I can let you 'borrow' it ;-)
@@AlexGTech Thank you Alex, I'll be happy to come back to that. Kind regards, Uwe
Hi. It’s such a difficult choice. Balancing not overspending v making use of in future. I’m trading my mini 6. Was going to get Air and now debating whether extra investment in pro for screen, refresh etc… am I just falling for marketing or will I regret it 😂 Life’s dilemmas and all that
I purchased the 11 iPad Pro (traded in my M1 model). Absolutely love it and no regrets. The screen is stunning and the M4chip will keep me happy for years. I’m not a heavy or pro user but it’s my ‘only computer’ so I simply wanted the best I can get…so I did 👍🏻
@@stuartconlon7492 thanks for info. I don’t want to regret iPad Air when only £350 more pro but …. Thanks for comments
@@stuartconlon7492 I bought the pro ! Thanks
I bought iPad Pro and I love it
Hello! What are the main reasons that made you consider moving from the Mini to the Air or Pro?
I’m actually considering the opposite because my Air 4 doesn’t get as much use as I would have liked. When I’m on the go I rather use my phone, then when I’m home or in the office I’m using my MacBook. I’m thinking the Mini will be more wieldy on the go or on the bed/couch which will encourage me to use it more.
