@@oyinolubayo7079 this^^ unless you want to keep your iPad Pro for 8 years (which you probs won’t let’s be honest) get the slightly older iPad Pro. it’s wayyyy better compared to the iPad Air
@@mohammedb4ig wait can u elaborate more. When u say “older iPad Pro” do u mean the latest one or…? I mean I have the iPad Pro 2020 and I am planing on keeping it for a while, I don’t think it’s necessary to change to the 2021 one as I do not rlly see a difference.
@@oyinolubayo7079 iPad Pro M1 is gonna last a very long time. I give it 8-10 years of software updates. The 2019 iPad Pro that came out before it will probably have another 5 years of updates before going out of support. 2019 iPad Pro is better imo cause you can find it for a lot cheaper than the new iPad Air.
I can't help but laugh every time he mentions the word "useless" because I honestly didn't realize that I won't need it until this video 😭 But anyway, I got the 128 GB iPad Pro and was scared at first that it will not be enough for my school needs and hobbies but seeing that I'm a Charmander, it definitely put me at ease. Thank you for this video!
I think something major being overlooked is the extreme screen real-estate opened up by the 12.9 in iPad Pro. I had an older iPad before I upgraded this year. Looking at the 11in bs the 12.9in at best buy, the 12.9in just made so much more sense. The availability of having more space to fit notes on my PowerPoints, on top of being able to run a second note for any questions I have during lecture has been an absolute game changer for my studying and grades.
Is there a major difference between 12.9 inches 4th and 5th generation ? And which one do you have? Does it take a lot of space having your textbooks as pdfs on your ipad?♥️
I am writing notes on iPad since 9,7 iPad Pro. 12,9 iPad is USELESS for notes writing - too bit to write on it (paper notebooks for writing are A5, not A4), too clunky to carry around, impossible to hold with one hand. Probably good for artists, but useless for lecture notes.
@@not_anton not useless at all.. significantly better, you have a lot more space to write down notes.. it’s way better for watching content. not only that, it only makes it slightly less portable and just adds a bit of weight.. when you are writing digital notes a4 or a5 doesn’t matter.. the bigger the better
I would go for more than 64GB if you plan on keeping it for 5 years. Apple makes lots of upgrades and you want to account for that. But it sucks air doesn’t make a 128GB one :(
Guys, well done on being usefully critical. I've watched a ton of reviews and they are really glorified advertisements. this has been refreshing and informative to watch.

While this video is very useful for some people, I believe you missed a key demographic. Engineering students.

If you do anything with cad modeling the LiDAR sensor allows you to take a pre-existing object and make an accurate cad file in seconds. The AR capabilities also cannot be understated since you can project you cad models into the real world for scale. The iPad Pro 11 inch is pretty much required for an engineering student in my eyes, and the 12.9 inch for a mechanical, civil, or engineering design student. Other than that, this video was very informative!

Thank-you for such an honest and open review! It's so hard to find in this day and age, and I appreciate that you haven't littered it with hard-to-spot advertising. I brought myself the iPad Air, 64gb, cellular and I'll be using either an external ssd or icloud storage for anything further, though I doubt I'll take up more storage than what's available.
The most honest review ever, and I actually need it. Whenever "useless" came along, just reminded myself how Im just gonna use it for note taking and netflix. :)hahaha
I had a 10th gen iPad ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.
congrats on the paperlike sponsorship! today’s my birthday. coincidentally, my mom bought me an ipad air as a super early birthday present in december 2020 :-)
@@KoiAcademy thank you!!! ☀️ just a birthday dinner for tonight and then a filipino feast at my house tomorrow 🙂 i plan to try to vlog. wish me luck HAHA forgot how to turn on the camera
I've been debating for a while now but I've decided to go with an Air as i will only use it for note taking, procreate and occassional media consumption. They're both amazing Ipads but the price did it for me. I do plan on long term use but i don't think the storage will be a problem :) while i might start a small business or use it for work i still doubt it will be a problem as I do a lot of management for that on my computer. This is an amazing video and helped me make my final decision of getting an Air :)
In the video, because debating on which one, he said the colors are useless. But since I'm sure I'm going to buy an ipad air 4, i don't know which color to take, I'm between the space grey (very grey) and light blue, which one did you buy?
Thanks for the review, I got the iPad Pro 256gb because I do a lot of art with photo bashing and that extra storage is really nice! It replaced my old MacBook and it’s way lighter and more portable. So it’s a good substitute for people who do work on the side too!
Great review. Planning to get my son one for school and have no clue what would be enough. I knew 64 was probably a no so was going to get the 256 Air. Never considered that the 128 Pro was practically the same price so that was valuable info from this video. Now I do hope the 128 is enough lol. He's in 2nd year engineering.
I knew I needed an ipad for a while and after watching just this one review of iPad air4 and iPad pro, I've decided to get iPad pro 256GB and got it. No doubts. You guys are really doing something here.
After watching so many ipad reviews, this was by far the best and Honest for students, All those useless features in the row....😂👍 Amazing Video Man 🔥💯 3:59 Haikyuu ! I am currently watching it, It's so awesome and inspiring at the same time. 👍❤
I was able to snag an iPad Pro 2nd Gen 128GB Wifi + Cellular barely used from a nice old russian man for 700$, came with a high quality case, another case+keyboard, and great glass screen protector. and your video perfectly explains what students are looking for in an ipad. I chose to look for the pro model since I still wanted that option for creativity and flare lol.
Thank you so much for this video. I am a returning student after a couple of decades and taking things serious and have been looking at iPads. I narrowed down my search to the two models each having two options that I had to figure out. Before this video I was leaning towards the Air but what storage space. I saw a 64 and 256, but what to buy. I am so glad u posted this where I am class B Bulbasor. Where I only plan on using this for class note taking and school only. I have my laptop and phone for entertainment and what not. So thank you for helping me get this narrowed down to my selection to the iPad Air 64. I think this I s going to be the one for me.
LMAOOO the way he keeps saying useless is just too funny to me since in reality it is useless and more money unless you want to splurge or have the money then go for it
imo, 64 isn't enough for anybody, let alone students with lots of notes. 128 is the best option, but it might be pushing it a little, depending on your usage. for me, 256 is the sweet spot. you'll never have to ration or worry about storage, but it's not an obscene amount, you know?
64gb is enough if u consider paying for icloud/google drive and saving all your stuff there, and i can access my notes on my phone too which is a bonus
something I'm gonna do since I only have 64 gb is just uploading all my notes to google drive when I'm probably not gonna go back to them and then deleting them locally if that helps anyone who doesn't have a lot of storage.
@@ardinisf that's true! however i'm just a lazy student hahah 😅 and my ipad is my primary school device for notes, which is why i don't need that all the time! my notes are kept either on goodnotes or notion, and my files on google drive, so it works out for me and my study methods :3
@@britneynguyen718 that sounds like a plan! personally i'm just far too lazy to upload things all the time and i study from my ipad a lot, so i prefer having the extra storage :D
Thank u, just bought my first iPad and I went with iPad air 5th gen due to price/budget and unfamiliar with Apple products. So far it's been helpful as fas as notes! Just went paperless last month for school for the 1st in my life and I love it!
I'm a nursing student, I want to buy an iPad instead of using so much paper or documents. After searching lots of videos about this topic on RUclips, I see your video and I will choose iPad air 4 64Gb for my university program. Thank you so much, bro!!!
This was literally the best review/ breakdown ever! So concise & honest. Thanks for the review! It's super helpful with upcoming classes starting. Team Charmander!
best video i found on actual productivity and not "useless" stuff, its a blessing to be able to listen from highly educated people like you lol, for the survey I am a lawyer studying for the English bar to become a barriester
Amazing review! So glad I stumbled across this channel as an incoming grad student in the health professions. I intend on using the iPad primarily for school use (while I'm in school) but also am interested in venturing into a personal creative space with it and continuing to use it for work/self-study years after I graduate. I'm on the fence between iPad Pro 128GB and 256GB.....I'll be getting the apple pencil and free air pods (student deal) but I'll still have an old MacBook Pro as my "primary device" I guess. I also think using Microsoft office to upload documents and stuff will help with storage, but I'm still unsure which way to go.
THANK YOU! I've been binging these videos trying to make a decision and this is the first one that was actually helpful. Even though I'm just graduating and not planning on going back to school, this helped me to really assess my needs and make a more informed decision.
not a student anymore but a young retired world traveler,i use the ipad pro 11 2021 with512 gb ssd and cellular,bought it in south east asia at a huge discount,happy with it,btw we use paper tech its a 14$ knock off that works perfectly and they put it on in the store here in asia
Its depend on person, usage, budget and environment of ecosystem available For my case after a thorough research, i decided to buy TabS7 instead of ipad Air(i hv note10lite & iphone12mini) My reason is: 1) My environment mostly windows PC and Samsung smart TV. So its much easier to transfer large file using cable and connect to smartTV. In my country most ppl use android anyway. And iMessage was rarely used. Coz whatsaap 2) price VS what i get. For $663 i get Spen, magnetic keyboard cover case, magnetic cover kickstand. 4 speaker (better than ipad air), wifi only 6GB RAM 128GB ROM. 3) clipboard manager. As someone who make a lot of notes for works and class studies. This is very important as i can do multiple copy (text, image, hand writing & pages) and can do multiple Paste 30 latest item copied. Also have option to lock/pin the item in clipboard 4) Samsung Dex can convert Tablet Ui into Windows Like UI, so doing multitasking is much easier compare to tablet mode especially when using mouse and keyboard. I do a lot of work Microsoft office using samsung Dex, really like it 5) i can play any GAMES with mouse and keyboard coz android support V3 shooting apps. The apps floating on screen and you can Map keyboard button. So i play CODM, PUBGM, Genshin Impact with mouse and keyboard I have no issue recommend Ipad to my friends, but depend on their usage, budget and environment. Coz there are something ipad do better and there are something samsung do better
@@BusyraKhiarafif that's some serious suggestions but when it comes to Apple, we get atleat 4-5 no worries abt updates or fluidity, and they have customised os in tab form very well but samsung they don't have like, it is a thing that their devices become slow in and after 2 yrs, that's why m worried, about Samsung. Even if they have 870 or whatever, their one UI is not optimizes especially for tabs, I think, please give the suggestion as you have tab. I m confused between ipad 9, air and tab s7
I love my pink, 256 GB, iPad Air 5. I only read books, the New York Times, watch RUclips videos, check IG, take notes and study with GoodNotes. 64 GB was too small for all the meticulous notes I take for all my classes. I agree most people don’t need the iPad Pro.
I’m a current M2, and although I could get away with the iPad Air at 64GB, it would be too close for my comfort. The benefits of the Pro (I use the 2021 12.9) are much better display with promotion and XDR, better speakers, FaceID because when I use it I’m sitting down and don’t have a mask on, extra RAM (8GB on mine as a 256GB model) makes a big difference in app refresh rates, and the significantly more powerful M1 for longevity. If you’re already spending $700 on an iPad, you may as we’ll spend as much as you can to maximize your purchase. I imagine I’ll have this in to residency. The other deciding factor for me was the extra screen size makes such a difference if I am watching a lecture while having Notability open at the same time. To each their own, but the Pro models have so many extra little features that really start adding up.
Omg I love how your video didn’t make me fall asleep like all other tech videos do😂😂. Thank youu❤ Also I’m a med student (Charmander) and relate to y’all🤧
This video is amazing + It reviews both iPads really great and professionally + It has an actually interesting sponsor + It features Cape Cod, the best chips ever made
I'm a medical technology/medical laboratoty science student and i have the ipad air with 64gb storage and it is more than enough for me to store all my notes/transes and ebooks. Love your vids, more power to the both you ❤
I'm (hopefully) going to be a PA student in the near future and bout the iPad Air 64gb! I originally bought the Remarkable 2 notebook but it only has 8gb storage and the sync/ cloud connection was tenuous, and you can't download videos/lectures. I'm a student now, finishing my bachelors and it feels like enough now, but I can certainly see that it wont be enough for PA school. Your video definitely helped ease my mind about my new purchase!
Most of the things you said is also what I felt like as a 2nd year college student. Most of this features is something I won't really need as I only ever used my Macbook or Ipad for school related purposes. I used my phone for everything else. So why would I need this extra features anyway. My main concern like you said have always been storage & power plus battery life as well. I was also pissed that in Ipad Air only have 64gb & 256gb because I think 128gb should be what's perfect. But actually I was wrong too because 64gb is actually just enough. I store most of my projects & presentation in my Macbook anyway and only have my modules, notes & other simple homework in my Ipad so 64gb is actually more than enough. I'm glad I went for the smaller storage & save money to used to buy different accessories for this gadgets.
am mostly using my ipad for uni but found the 10.5 ipad pro 2017’s screen I had was too small and not enjoyable to use for note taking, given that I often split screen my note taking app with google or even with the live online lectures. I then decided to buy the 12.9“ one and actually very happy with the purchase (other than it‘s being way too expensive for how I‘m using it..) but then again very useful hahaha
I fit the first category the most, but I really wanted the 12.9 display. Also jump to M1 is huge, so ended it going with the latest ipad 12.9 instead of an older version. It is so much more expensive compared to 11 inch pro for no reason, but I am sucker for big displays.
I LOVE this video. It's exactly what I've been looking for and its so freaking useful and I completely relate to so many parts of this video. Thank you for making this! I've always been a fan of Apple products but I practically have little to no knowledge about iPads. I watched many videos and researched online but still did not find a video/article that was useful to help me decide which iPad a biomedical student would need to get. (they were all too lengthy and did not help in ANY way) But I've finally made my decision thanks to this extremely informational, relatable and short video! You guys wasted no time on explaining everything that I wanted/needed to know!! Thank you so much & I'm super stoked to purchase my iPad!!
I’m a digital art student. I was going to get a 256gb iPad Pro, but the setup I ended up with was a 128gb iPad Pro 11”, and bought a 256gb USB-C thumb drive. It’s absolutely perfect for me: I got all the storage I need for reference pictures, documents, PSDs and even entertainment stuff on the thumb drive as well as the performance and future proofing of the iPad Pro for way cheaper than buying the highest internal storage version
Very well done review! I'm not a student but would throw out two additional options. The 2020 Pro with either 128gb or 256gb if you can find them. Older processor but the A12Z is still very fast.
128gb is enough for me, i had huge games on it, had so much fun with it, using it till just the right amount of storage which is 100-120gb felt amazing that i picked the right choice
Being a medical student, I have had my fair share of doubts on these..and u just addressed at the right time 😭Hands down the best review that solved my confusion 😎. #keep rocking 🎉
I am a medical student too and I just bought the iPad Air 4, two weeks back. I am a hardcore Android user, and this is the first time I'm owning an Apple device. I could've easily gone for the Samsung Tab S7 FE, but The A14 Bionic Chip is too good compared to the SD 730. Everything else, S7 FE is the clear winner.

Thank-you for such an honest and open review! It's so hard to find in this day and age, and I appreciate that you haven't littered it with hard-to-spot advertising. I brought myself the iPad Air, 64gb, cellular and I'll be using either an external ssd or icloud storage for anything further, though I doubt I'll take up more storage than what's available.
The most honest review ever, and I actually need it. Whenever "useless" came along, just reminded myself how Im just gonna use it for note taking and netflix. :)hahaha
I had a 10th gen iPad ruclips.net/user/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.
Im not kidding I have watched so many videos to make a decision and this one is the most helpful one! Literally subscribed right away!!! ✨
congrats on the paperlike sponsorship!
today’s my birthday. coincidentally, my mom bought me an ipad air as a super early birthday present in december 2020 :-)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!🎊🎂🎈 best mom ever lol. Any fun plans today?
@@KoiAcademy thank you!!! ☀️ just a birthday dinner for tonight and then a filipino feast at my house tomorrow 🙂 i plan to try to vlog. wish me luck HAHA forgot how to turn on the camera
You're lucky...🙌. Congrats
@@putrawahyudi4825 thank you 🙂🎉
Coincident 2.. we have same birthday. 🤝 but no gifts like yours, really want onw though 😅
congrats...🎉
I've been debating for a while now but I've decided to go with an Air as i will only use it for note taking, procreate and occassional media consumption. They're both amazing Ipads but the price did it for me. I do plan on long term use but i don't think the storage will be a problem :) while i might start a small business or use it for work i still doubt it will be a problem as I do a lot of management for that on my computer. This is an amazing video and helped me make my final decision of getting an Air :)
In the video, because debating on which one, he said the colors are useless. But since I'm sure I'm going to buy an ipad air 4, i don't know which color to take, I'm between the space grey (very grey) and light blue, which one did you buy?
HOWS IT GOING :O i’m gonna buy one in 3 weeks for the exact same reasons!!
Thanks for the review, I got the iPad Pro 256gb because I do a lot of art with photo bashing and that extra storage is really nice! It replaced my old MacBook and it’s way lighter and more portable. So it’s a good substitute for people who do work on the side too!
Great review. Planning to get my son one for school and have no clue what would be enough. I knew 64 was probably a no so was going to get the 256 Air. Never considered that the 128 Pro was practically the same price so that was valuable info from this video. Now I do hope the 128 is enough lol. He's in 2nd year engineering.
I knew I needed an ipad for a while and after watching just this one review of iPad air4 and iPad pro, I've decided to get iPad pro 256GB and got it. No doubts. You guys are really doing something here.
Price?
which colour did u get? I've been saving up for a long time and always wanted to get one! Maybe you could give me some advice?
@@savinachen473 There are only 2 shades of gray for the iPad pro, dark vs light are you seriously hung up on the colors? LOL
The straight forward nature if this video is the best for quick reviews. I would be visiting this channel more in the future.
The most true and relevant iPad review I've seen on RUclips thanks for the information ♥
Bro! Best review video. Never seen someone talk about useless features. Good stuff man!
as an engineering student, I got the m1 and it's amazing, I know that this iPad will work for me for the next 4 years of university
What storage did you pick
And what storage if you don’t mind me asking
@@haleydavidson7693 read the whole comment before making one
@@cj7073 ?? Their comment didn’t have the type of of storage
As your main device?
matty's ad for paperlike is by far my favorite ad a youtuber has ever done. i've laughed and watched it at least ten times!
After watching so many ipad reviews, this was by far the best and Honest for students, All those useless features in the row....😂👍 Amazing Video Man 🔥💯 3:59 Haikyuu ! I am currently watching it, It's so awesome and inspiring at the same time. 👍❤
I was able to snag an iPad Pro 2nd Gen 128GB Wifi + Cellular barely used from a nice old russian man for 700$, came with a high quality case, another case+keyboard, and great glass screen protector. and your video perfectly explains what students are looking for in an ipad. I chose to look for the pro model since I still wanted that option for creativity and flare lol.
Thank you so much for this video. I am a returning student after a couple of decades and taking things serious and have been looking at iPads. I narrowed down my search to the two models each having two options that I had to figure out. Before this video I was leaning towards the Air but what storage space. I saw a 64 and 256, but what to buy. I am so glad u posted this where I am class B Bulbasor. Where I only plan on using this for class note taking and school only. I have my laptop and phone for entertainment and what not. So thank you for helping me get this narrowed down to my selection to the iPad Air 64. I think this I s going to be the one for me.
I deadass subscribed when he said “who cares” and when he said “useless” I felt that
this was exactly what i needed, i was looking between these two ipads and this video made my decision so much easier!!
LMAOOO the way he keeps saying useless is just too funny to me since in reality it is useless and more money unless you want to splurge or have the money then go for it
Wowwwwwww... Im so happy to run into this channel of you two as I'm browsing for an ipad that suits my needs to study
imo, 64 isn't enough for anybody, let alone students with lots of notes. 128 is the best option, but it might be pushing it a little, depending on your usage. for me, 256 is the sweet spot. you'll never have to ration or worry about storage, but it's not an obscene amount, you know?
yeah HAHAHA same 256 for me is safe, I like comfort and flexibility I got the 256 gig air
64gb is enough if u consider paying for icloud/google drive and saving all your stuff there, and i can access my notes on my phone too which is a bonus
something I'm gonna do since I only have 64 gb is just uploading all my notes to google drive when I'm probably not gonna go back to them and then deleting them locally if that helps anyone who doesn't have a lot of storage.
@@ardinisf that's true! however i'm just a lazy student hahah 😅 and my ipad is my primary school device for notes, which is why i don't need that all the time! my notes are kept either on goodnotes or notion, and my files on google drive, so it works out for me and my study methods :3
@@britneynguyen718 that sounds like a plan! personally i'm just far too lazy to upload things all the time and i study from my ipad a lot, so i prefer having the extra storage :D
Thank u, just bought my first iPad and I went with iPad air 5th gen due to price/budget and unfamiliar with Apple products. So far it's been helpful as fas as notes! Just went paperless last month for school for the 1st in my life and I love it!
I liked the pokémon style, literally you nailed it
I'm a nursing student, I want to buy an iPad instead of using so much paper or documents. After searching lots of videos about this topic on RUclips, I see your video and I will choose iPad air 4 64Gb for my university program. Thank you so much, bro!!!
This was literally the best review/ breakdown ever! So concise & honest. Thanks for the review! It's super helpful with upcoming classes starting. Team Charmander!
Glad it was helpful, go team charmander! 🔥🔥
best video i found on actual productivity and not "useless" stuff, its a blessing to be able to listen from highly educated people like you lol, for the survey I am a lawyer studying for the English bar to become a barriester
Amazing review! So glad I stumbled across this channel as an incoming grad student in the health professions. I intend on using the iPad primarily for school use (while I'm in school) but also am interested in venturing into a personal creative space with it and continuing to use it for work/self-study years after I graduate. I'm on the fence between iPad Pro 128GB and 256GB.....I'll be getting the apple pencil and free air pods (student deal) but I'll still have an old MacBook Pro as my "primary device" I guess. I also think using Microsoft office to upload documents and stuff will help with storage, but I'm still unsure which way to go.
You no idea what you did with you honest reviews I've been thinking which one should I buy as a student I only need it for notes... so thank you
THANK YOU! I've been binging these videos trying to make a decision and this is the first one that was actually helpful. Even though I'm just graduating and not planning on going back to school, this helped me to really assess my needs and make a more informed decision.
not a student anymore but a young retired world traveler,i use the ipad pro 11 2021 with512 gb ssd and cellular,bought it in south east asia at a huge discount,happy with it,btw we use paper tech its a 14$ knock off that works perfectly and they put it on in the store here in asia
I love how realistic he is.."Useless"😂 Dude that's so true man
OMFG THANK YOUUU. Ugh finally a legit student review! 🙌
“At that price you can find way better tablets” DUDE THE 2020 IPAD IS BY FAR THE BEST TABLET FOR THE MONEY
I 100 percent agree I have the m1 iPad myself and totally think the 2020 iPad Pro is pretty much the same for the money not performance wise
Its depend on person, usage, budget and environment of ecosystem available
For my case after a thorough research, i decided to buy TabS7 instead of ipad Air(i hv note10lite & iphone12mini)
My reason is:
1) My environment mostly windows PC and Samsung smart TV. So its much easier to transfer large file using cable and connect to smartTV. In my country most ppl use android anyway. And iMessage was rarely used. Coz whatsaap
2) price VS what i get. For $663 i get Spen, magnetic keyboard cover case, magnetic cover kickstand. 4 speaker (better than ipad air), wifi only 6GB RAM 128GB ROM.
3) clipboard manager. As someone who make a lot of notes for works and class studies. This is very important as i can do multiple copy (text, image, hand writing & pages) and can do multiple Paste 30 latest item copied. Also have option to lock/pin the item in clipboard
4) Samsung Dex can convert Tablet Ui into Windows Like UI, so doing multitasking is much easier compare to tablet mode especially when using mouse and keyboard. I do a lot of work Microsoft office using samsung Dex, really like it
5) i can play any GAMES with mouse and keyboard coz android support V3 shooting apps. The apps floating on screen and you can Map keyboard button. So i play CODM, PUBGM, Genshin Impact with mouse and keyboard
I have no issue recommend Ipad to my friends, but depend on their usage, budget and environment. Coz there are something ipad do better and there are something samsung do better
Apple refurbished has Pro 2020 starting at 609! That’s a no brainer vs Air 4
@@BusyraKhiarafif that's some serious suggestions but when it comes to Apple, we get atleat 4-5 no worries abt updates or fluidity, and they have customised os in tab form very well but samsung they don't have like, it is a thing that their devices become slow in and after 2 yrs, that's why m worried, about Samsung.
Even if they have 870 or whatever, their one UI is not optimizes especially for tabs, I think, please give the suggestion as you have tab.
I m confused between ipad 9, air and tab s7
@@andychidwick676 How about the battery life?
wow i watched so many videos to figure out which one to buy and this one is the only one that actually helped, i thank you.
I am medical student and I am using iPad Pro it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love my pink, 256 GB, iPad Air 5. I only read books, the New York Times, watch RUclips videos, check IG, take notes and study with GoodNotes. 64 GB was too small for all the meticulous notes I take for all my classes. I agree most people don’t need the iPad Pro.
I’m a current M2, and although I could get away with the iPad Air at 64GB, it would be too close for my comfort. The benefits of the Pro (I use the 2021 12.9) are much better display with promotion and XDR, better speakers, FaceID because when I use it I’m sitting down and don’t have a mask on, extra RAM (8GB on mine as a 256GB model) makes a big difference in app refresh rates, and the significantly more powerful M1 for longevity. If you’re already spending $700 on an iPad, you may as we’ll spend as much as you can to maximize your purchase. I imagine I’ll have this in to residency. The other deciding factor for me was the extra screen size makes such a difference if I am watching a lecture while having Notability open at the same time. To each their own, but the Pro models have so many extra little features that really start adding up.
One of the best informative, concise & straight-to-the-point review out there
He was really reading my mind when I was considering all the features that he deemed useless literally word for word thank you for the honest review!!
Omg I love how your video didn’t make me fall asleep like all other tech videos do😂😂. Thank youu❤
Also I’m a med student (Charmander) and relate to y’all🤧
Loved this review. The last 1 min made it so easy ..I'm a charmander but planning to be a squirtle
You answered absolutely all my questions dude. Great job!!
This video is amazing
+ It reviews both iPads really great and professionally
+ It has an actually interesting sponsor
+ It features Cape Cod, the best chips ever made
👌
1:40 into the video and i strongly agree, students dont need none of those fancy stuff ;-; u a real one
I'm a medical technology/medical laboratoty science student and i have the ipad air with 64gb storage and it is more than enough for me to store all my notes/transes and ebooks. Love your vids, more power to the both you ❤
Hello! Are you in med school now? Is 64gb still enough??
Is it still enough after 2 years
I'm (hopefully) going to be a PA student in the near future and bout the iPad Air 64gb! I originally bought the Remarkable 2 notebook but it only has 8gb storage and the sync/ cloud connection was tenuous, and you can't download videos/lectures. I'm a student now, finishing my bachelors and it feels like enough now, but I can certainly see that it wont be enough for PA school. Your video definitely helped ease my mind about my new purchase!
Most of the things you said is also what I felt like as a 2nd year college student. Most of this features is something I won't really need as I only ever used my Macbook or Ipad for school related purposes. I used my phone for everything else. So why would I need this extra features anyway. My main concern like you said have always been storage & power plus battery life as well. I was also pissed that in Ipad Air only have 64gb & 256gb because I think 128gb should be what's perfect. But actually I was wrong too because 64gb is actually just enough. I store most of my projects & presentation in my Macbook anyway and only have my modules, notes & other simple homework in my Ipad so 64gb is actually more than enough. I'm glad I went for the smaller storage & save money to used to buy different accessories for this gadgets.
God. This is the MOST HONEST and REALISTIC review of the ipad ever.. Love it😂
am mostly using my ipad for uni but found the 10.5 ipad pro 2017’s screen I had was too small and not enjoyable to use for note taking, given that I often split screen my note taking app with google or even with the live online lectures. I then decided to buy the 12.9“ one and actually very happy with the purchase (other than it‘s being way too expensive for how I‘m using it..) but then again very useful hahaha
I get you haha can't put a price on enjoyability
definitely a class B. THANK YOU, and here I was overthinking that 68 GB its not gonna be enough. saved my life )))))
I fit the first category the most, but I really wanted the 12.9 display. Also jump to M1 is huge, so ended it going with the latest ipad 12.9 instead of an older version. It is so much more expensive compared to 11 inch pro for no reason, but I am sucker for big displays.
finally a real review that help me out a lot to choice whats better for me!. thanks you! Mike and matty.
The rolling pencil at 6:00 scared my broke wallet to death
Thank you so much. I'm not very tech savy and you just explained everything so well and saved me a lot of money.
I LOVE this video. It's exactly what I've been looking for and its so freaking useful and I completely relate to so many parts of this video.
Thank you for making this! I've always been a fan of Apple products but I practically have little to no knowledge about iPads. I watched many videos and researched online but still did not find a video/article that was useful to help me decide which iPad a biomedical student would need to get. (they were all too lengthy and did not help in ANY way)
But I've finally made my decision thanks to this extremely informational, relatable and short video! You guys wasted no time on explaining everything that I wanted/needed to know!! Thank you so much & I'm super stoked to purchase my iPad!!
update: just looked through this channel and i must say you've earned a new subscriber! love the content and can't wait to watch em all 😌😌
I’m a digital art student. I was going to get a 256gb iPad Pro, but the setup I ended up with was a 128gb iPad Pro 11”, and bought a 256gb USB-C thumb drive. It’s absolutely perfect for me: I got all the storage I need for reference pictures, documents, PSDs and even entertainment stuff on the thumb drive as well as the performance and future proofing of the iPad Pro for way cheaper than buying the highest internal storage version
I love this review because it highlights that most features are useless - especially during quarantine.
thank you! The first solid pro/con assessment on the choice between these two
Definitely a Bulbasaur. My starter of choice and my iPad personality. That's what we call serendipity.
For now, until you evolve
This helped me so much! Thank you I have been going back and forth with my decision and you help me make it!
Very well done review! I'm not a student but would throw out two additional options. The 2020 Pro with either 128gb or 256gb if you can find them. Older processor but the A12Z is still very fast.
THANK YOU! Ive watched quite a few comparison videos but this was definitely the most useful video. I know exactly what to get now.
I love my iPad Air and don’t think the pro could’ve been any better. I didn’t even have to save money to buy this one and it works like a dream.
Best comparison I've ever seen in my life OMG
128gb is enough for me, i had huge games on it, had so much fun with it, using it till just the right amount of storage which is 100-120gb felt amazing that i picked the right choice
After watching this clip, I know why I always love watching you two’s videos
The Pokemon analogy makes them unique 🤞🏽
we happen to be fanboys
I have been eyeing an iPad for school for quite some time & im so happy my dad sent me your video! “Useless, who cares!” My guuyyy! tysm💰
Being a medical student, I have had my fair share of doubts on these..and u just addressed at the right time 😭Hands down the best review that solved my confusion 😎. #keep rocking 🎉
Hi, I am medical student too. Did you choose IPad Air or IPad Pro?
I am a medical student too and I just bought the iPad Air 4, two weeks back.
I am a hardcore Android user, and this is the first time I'm owning an Apple device. I could've easily gone for the Samsung Tab S7 FE, but The A14 Bionic Chip is too good compared to the SD 730.
Everything else, S7 FE is the clear winner.
i've been thinking about buying an ipad for a while now but i couldn't make the choice and this definitely helped me, thank you sooo much !!!
The best ipad review ever, I'm rolling on the floor 😂😂😂😂
This was genuinely a phenomenal review. Thank you.
