Hello Rene Ritchie I have a question for you please, I am going back to school to study cyber security and I want to know which is best for me to purchase for this course. The new iPad Pro with the M1 chip or the new MacBook Pro with of cause the new M1 chip, can you please tell me which is better. Thank you.
I say get them both, use them both for a week, understand why you are really using them, then return the one that doesn't meet your needs. Just trying to figure it out on paper doesn't always work.
These M1 devices are so amazingly similar. We're just picking around the edges now. I think the MacBook Air is practically perfect in every way, but I could say the same about the Mac mini or the new iMac. I can't wait to see what iPadOS 15 brings to the table. It's a whole new world.
One problem would be online testing/exams. I’m in college and I couldn’t take a proctored exam with iPad rendering the iPad useless. That’s why I got a MacBook, because schools assumes everyone uses laptops. So for students, go for the MacBook. iPads aren’t really universal for colleges.
Hi! I know you posted this a while ago but - it’s not possible at all to take proctored exams on the iPad? I’m trying to decide right now whether to get the Ipadpro or the Macpro and this would be a huge deciding factor for me!
@Natalie Zeller maybe I can help. It’s a tricky question because iPad may or may not support the software used to proctor the test. The MacBook is a safer option to run more software.
The new iPad Pro 12.9 hardware, along with the “promise” of new iPad os software really has me convinced that now is the time for me to try and evolve my workflow from a Mac to the iPad Pro. Really love your content Rene and I’m incredibly happy that your move to an independent channel has been so successful! Your content remains truly informative yet entertaining and I really look forward to your expertise and opinions.
I did iPad Pro only for a year and then I realized, magic keyboard as nice as it is, the whole thing just doesn’t work for me on iPad only. I need a laptop so got an M1 Air last year. It works well. I just realized I can’t do all work on one device.
@@miller_john that’s why I said “promise.” There are substantial comments that lead one to believe that WWDC will reveal something incredible regarding the OS allowing the iPad to finally being “more computer like,” but completely understand that at this point nothing is certain.
@@michaelforras in last WWDC Apple run Mac OS with A12Z. Tell me what A12Z can't do, It's just that M1 is 50% more faster thn which was already fast enough. If Apple wanted to make iPad pro a more computer software wise thn they could have done it along with launch of magic keyboard. It's just that costs of production is way cheaper for Apple to use M1 rather thn creating a new chip. They will never cannibalize their MacBooks by making iPad more capable in my humble opinion.
My biggest problem with the iPad is not being able to work directly from an external SSD drive when storing managing and editing photos and videos if they can fix that some day the iPad can be my only machine.
This was so to the point, everything you need to know without any additional non-needed info & the transistor was so seamlessly at the end to his sponsor 😯🤩
They'll improve iPadOS but I doubt they'll make the iPad a laptop. Why would they want to make it a MacBook replacement when they can make you buy both? It would be awesome but highly unlikely.
@@joselucnico I pad os isn't as pro. And MacBook can go 32gb ram. Which does make a difference in memory tasks. * I have the ipad pro lol so I'm not being salty
I don’t get the desire people have for comparing an iPad to a MacBook - they are two distinct products with distinct use cases - yes, they now share the same processor but that is it - they run different OS’s designed for their specific use case. It’s a comparison that IMO makes no sense …
had my MacBook Prop for over 10 years. It's time to change. I work a lot on remote mining sited Canada/US. I am extremely tempted toward the iPad Pro for its size and compact format. Question: can I run EXCEL/PDF file on the iPad Pro?
The moment they drop an 11” with that xdr screen, I’m updating, like, that day. That small size makes a big difference for me, and I already have an M1 MacBook Air, so getting a bigger display size on my iPad feels like a step backwards personally
Bruh don’t waste money on both, if the M1X or even M2 is obviously gonna be coming at WWDC. Just get the next generation on the iMac, while M1 on iPad Pro as the LAPTOP
One is a desktop OS and the other is...well a beefed up mobile OS. Unless you are a student who wants to take a lot of notes, or maybe into editing photos, the MBP/MBA are way better in every way. I have both the MBP and the iPad pro, and my IPP is basically a media consumption device. If you want to have the best of both worlds, buy a MBA and an iPad or iPad air.
I just ordered the 12.9 inch M1 iPad. While the MacBook Pro is a fantastic option, I already use my 27 inch iMac for my photo and video processing. The portability and the availability of LTE in the iPad, makes it a better choice for me. Plus, I can watch movies or tv in my car or as I travel anywhere phone service is available.
iPad Pro with out pro apps like DaVinci, adobe suite, Xcode, world or excel ( Desktop one not the mobile version ) or Final Cut Pro X and more … no party. So stuck with the MacBook Pro for awhile until Apple release MacOS in the iPad Pro or unable Mac apps in the iPad.
I'd definitely disagree with the notion that the iPad Pro is better for audio - the MBP also has a 'studio quality' microphone and tops the iPad with better speakers, a headphone jack, and of course support for Logic Pro + audio interfaces.
I’m not a big iPhone fan. But I absolutely love iPad. Absolutely nothing comes remotely close. With the increased raw power from the m1 chip and even if you opt for the 8gb model it’s going kill anything else out there by a mile! The new screen will be a huge benefit and I can’t wait to get mine. Well done apple on another world class tablet… great video.

The MBP blows it out of the water due to the built in keyboard and ability to use Mac OS and FCPX and Adobe creative suite. If iPad ran all of these apps and had a second screen for Mac OS, game over, iPad wins due to display, pencil, touchscreen, but for now it’s just a super large gangster iPhone until they make true workflow apps run on their platform and allow folders and other Mac OS specific organizational features. You can also get a drawing pad for the MBP if I’m not mistaken and take advantage of the Apple Pencil right?
I just bought the iPad Pro. Only because I have Mac air 2015. Which I think is. Enough for me as business major. iPad i want it for watch videos and take notes sometimes in clases which I feel more comfortable with it.
For being able to smoothly go through airport TSA and offloading and assembling an entire day of shooting 4K video in such a small (11") package from a single charge, it's the iPad Pro M1 for the win.
Funny that we hear iPhone leaks for years 2021, 22, and even 23, but not much or zero leaks on iPad Pros for those years🥴. I’d like to completely replace my laptop with an iPad Pro, which I don’t have yet, but I feel rather hesitant to make that change 😬 The power is there, but so are too some limitations.
Seriously dude I love every single video you make! You explain everything so well and you have helped me make so many decisions… I wish I could thank you in someway! I’m going to have to look at that Patreon of yours throw some love your way!
I’m selling my first gen iPad Pro and early 2013 MBP and getting the M1 iPad Pro, because I don’t need two mobile workstations, I can’t imagine life without an iPad. He had me at “Better camera for video calls”
Ordered the 11” M1 iPad Pro! Can’t wait to get it later this month! Upgrading from the 2019 iPad Air 3, love how my iPad is literally going to be way more powerful than my laptop 😂
Note the iPad keyboard will need to be replaced every couple/few years, for some yearly. So the price comes up to be above a MacBook Air and matching or greater than a MacBook Pro. Still, i have an iPad for the note taking (for university) and drawing experience. Get a MacBook Pro/Air if you need a laptop. iPad if you need a note taking - Apple Pencil - or drawing canvas.
512gb comes with 8gb ram. 1 tb provides 16 gb ram. That’s the reason you see an unusual jump of $400 in price between 512 gb and 1 tb versions. They factor in the 16gb Ram upgrade in that $400. Bad on Apple not giving an option to choose the Ram, but to make us pay.
Weight matters which is why I bought an iPad Pro last year. I bought the maximum memory and storage available at the time, but now need more. While I am not a “must have the latest and greatest” kind of guy, I am seriously considering upgrading to the new iPad Pro. Need to study the new iPad Pro as I bought the magnetically attached keypad for my 3rd generation iPad Pro and I like it. UPDATE: Wait, $350 for the magic keyboard on iPad Pro. Maybe I will just keep my current 3rd Generation IPad Pro.
I created a spreadsheet for each feature, assigning scores to both products, then multiplied each feature's importance to me by a scale factor, then averaged the scores. The MacBook got 2.7, the iPad got 2.4. So it's close. Although the iPad had some strong scores, the MacBook pulled ahead for me because of the values I placed on features like software availability and OS compatibility. Hardware is great, but software still rules, for me. I swore off laptops after my 2013 MacBook Air which was so hot under the "W key" that I practically burned my finger playing games. However the M1 runs cooler and thermal imaging shows the hottest location is more near the unused middle/upper keyboard area, not the ASDW keys any longer.
I used to have the surface pro and then move to MacBook Pro + 2020 IPad Pro 11”. Honestly, I still using both. But I will use the iPad Pro more often when I out for meeting with much lighter weight on my shoulder. When I am working from home, MacBook Pro still my first choice as I need a lot of administrative work, especially when I use excel spreadsheet so often for data analysis. I guess IPad Pro is a great device if u come with a better Bluetooth keyboard (magic keyword is not really good for long time typing).
What's your take on the dongles bricking the M1 Mac Pros? I am almost pulling the trigger on one that's currently on sale but I need my hyperdrive dongle to get my USB ports.
@@mplovecraft Thanks. That's very good to know. Since the 14" will probably be much more expensive (I'm betting that they'll push it to $1999 or higher) I'll be getting the M1 for sure. Now, if only gaming was a real option on the Mac...
Great video I love the iPad Pro. I’ve never liked laptops. I find the combination of an iMac and an iPad Pro the best combination for my apartment. And the iPad pro is my main device. I barely use the iMac now (2017 21.5”). At home I use it more as a consumption device for RUclips, Netflix, some light gaming, browsing, banking, sometimes some drawing with Procreate, I bring it to work where it acts as a companion device for my workflow : MS teams, MS office, Onedrive, a task planner. I can even perform our group consolidation on it as that program is working via a web browser. And it’s great to travel with, whenever that will be possible again. It’s just a great device
The iPad is my favorite personal device since day 1, however in my case it can not replace my MacBook Pro 15'. (I need both) + Multi tasking and Multi App use is far superior and flexible on the MBP and has been a sore issue among many iPad users, including myself, for a decade now. + Stationary functions excel on the MBP - Server duties like acting as a Home Theatre Mac/PC, Home Automation and control hub. MBP is still portable. + Backup, Sync and File/Data management just makes more sense with a MBP as it can manage all Apple and non-apple devices on a network + Virtual machine for many is critical - It runs Windows 10, Windows 7 (for legacy) and Linux
I have been using MacBook Air for a long time now. My work includes emails, video calls and a lot of texting and web based apps. I am intrigued by the iPad Pro but that camera on the wrong edge just puts it off for me. I think I will just upgrade to MacBook Pro (not Air because I think I will futureproof) for the good battery which I need as I travel for the whole day many times, fan to cool it down in case it needs to (like when I have way many tabs open in Chrome along with WhatsApp, Wechat, skype, Teams, etc running together). Thanks for helping me with this good comparison. I was so much waiting for this comparison for you. Time to order my MacBook tomorrow.
The iPad Pro is futuristic with the Pencil. It does so much stuff and so fast and efficiently in creativity applications amongst other things. Apple hit a home run with this generation of iPads. What does it lack? Nothing. I have the 512 gb and 11” model and so glad I got this. I can never go back to laptops.
Honestly this was a great great great video. Not only did Rene provide a direct comparison of features but presented the analysis in a way where my simple mind can understand and help me make an informed decision! Thanks!
@@DieFarbeLila88 lol. Exactly. Hardly anyone cares. Capture One is the Adobe Lightroom or Apple Photos answer from the Phase One Medium Format camera system to RAW processing of images and DNG management. It’s an industry standard equivalent to Adobe’s products in the photography world.
I suppose Phase One’s Capture One team could do that, but honestly, iPadOS is not robust enough even if the hardware is there. It will just keep crashing.
@@arielrglaze only reason why I care about Capture One is because Lightroom doesn’t work well with Fuji’s XTRANS camera sensors. Capture One does a much better job when working with Fuji camera files. Normally, I use Lightroom, but I switched Camera brands, so it matters to me what I’m editing with.
@@DieFarbeLila88 an editing software used to edit photos. Normally, I use Lightroom, but I recently changed my camera system. Unfortunately, Lightroom doesn’t work well with my new camera. So Capture One is my next best bet.
Before getting my MacBook Air M1, I had a 2013 but I also had the iPad Pro 2018 and older models. I would use it basically 90% of the time which is probably why I never upgraded my laptop till the M1. Now? I wish I would've waited for the iPad Pro M1. I just prefer the touch interface of the iPhone and iPads but as a web developer, I need those pro apps mainly programming ones. If 2021 we finally see serious pro apps coming to iPadOS, I'll make that permanent switch. I may still do that anyway and just get a cheap Mac mini just in case. ;-)
Dude if you could have proper environments on iPad it'd be fkn over, like legit fkn over. I already hardly ever look back at anything except my desktop for this very purpose.
Are you 100% sure it solves the issue? Cuz my intuition doesn’t match that. At the end of the day, a camera can’t make your eyes look like they’re pointing somewhere they’re not. The ultrawide camera could zoom you out to make the side eye less noticeable, but I don’t yet buy that it can actually correct the problem
Can I airdrop from my iphone 12 pro max to the new iPad pro? I would then need to connect a USB C dongle to the Ipad pro. After that I would want to move the file or move to a regular USB. Can this be done?
I’d buy a 2TB iPad Pro on Friday if it only supported multiple user accounts. Sadly, that is not so. I guess I’m waiting from the M2 Macbook Pro later this year.
Why doesn’t apple make the iPhone rear cameras work as a linked chooseable camera in app like zoom and got to meetings on the iPad. Yes use the phone’s camera as an additional iPad camera in apps for meeting calls.
I’m definitely getting the new iPad Pro 12.9 inch quick question anyone I have a mid range 2018 MacBook Pro and I really want to get the 13 inch MacBook Pro and one so I can get rid of that old keyboard and my 2018 MacBook Pro just hits way too much anyone have any recommendations appreciate it
I still have the first generation Ipad air for almost 8 years now and was planning to use it for 10 years however no I am seriously doubting to upgrade to the ipad pro.
I wanna get a new ipad. But I don‘t see myself putting the M1 to good use. I use my current ipad for note taking and procreate. I think the 12.9“ 2020 iPad Pro will work just fine for me
@@nate-qf6qk I went for the 256GB model. But only because it was the same price as the 128GB model. I really don't see myself needing that much space tbh. 128GB should be fine for most use cases.
I am an undergraduate student going into my first year of uni text year. I will study business management and I need a new decide. I wanted to get the new iPad Pro to fully replace my laptop but I am not sure. ( I don't do a lot of things except typing on words, using Netflix and youtube and just studying in general with my laptop ) Also, I thought that the iPad can be better because I can take notes and draw on it... which one do you think I should get ?
Can someone explain to me why the displays use local dimming zones and not just have a white or blue LED behind each RGB pixel? Also why don't dimming zones cause halos around bright objects??
Somebody help me please! Do u recommend a refurbished base M1 MBP for $1099? Or a refurbished M1 MBA upgraded with 16gb of ram? (which cost almost the same)... I love the touch bar... but at the end, Ram might be more useful right? I can't decide yet :/
what i have to say is when a guy searches for any ipad vs macbook he or she wants to know about apps compatibility can i use excel better with ipad and can i use softwares like R and code on ipad? we dont want to know specs
Worth it for what, friend? I think only you can decide if you want or need the device, no one else can really give useful input. Like, how much is $1100+ worth to you? Are you okay giving up that big a stack of cash for the sake of a beautiful display and a second M1 chip?
There's nothing about the iPad Pro that would make me pick it over the MBP M1 (And I would pick the MBA over the MBP). I've owned two iPads and while they seem cool and I imagine myself doing all sorts of things they both ended up in a drawer. One I forced myself to use as a notepad during one semester, but it was painful. In the end there's simply no case where I wouldn't rather use my iPhone or MBA than an iPad.
Dear Rene please advise regarding my question of connecting an external video monitor to the New M1 IPad Pro and using it as the second video monitor with the new M1 Mac....would it support?
I believe the magic keyboard has a usb-c passthrough port as well, although I don't know how or if that would work with thunderbolt since I use the 2018 model
i really need an iPad Pro rather than the Macbook Pro because of drawing job, but currently the adobe apps aren’t that optimal in iPad Pro right now, some of ppl say that adobe will optimalized it in 2022 for the apple silicon. do you think Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, After Effect, and Corel Draw could work well in the iPad Pro M1 with 8GB of RAM in 2022? is it compatible enough for 10 years usage? if im being realistic of what im doing right now, im gonna go with macbook, we all already know the softwares will works well there bcs those apps are built for the laptop. but, if it does works well on the iPad next year, i’ll be regret my decision so bad for buying a Macbook Pro. or must i buy 16GB RAM instead? but i can’t it’s too expensive. and i still have to buy apple pencil, keyboard, mouse, and additional ports for the iPad. and the softwares.
I dont have a personal Apple device yet and I am thinking between iPad pro 11 inch and macbook pro 13 inch it's like I am starting to get in the apple ecosystem please suggest something
@The Medic Gamer ikr but my parents prefer a macbook and I am really having a hard choice because if I am buying either I am spending 1500 bucks in total
Do you think the M1 iPad with its Thunderbolt port will be able to connect an external HD to backup directly so you won't have to use a computer with iTunes?
Do I read the tea leaves right and there is a m1 iPad Pro specific magic keyboard that just isn’t with mentioning but will be available at ship time ? Great video
Honestly Rene, I feel like people who get iPads should realize that it's an entirely different machine than the MacBook. They're not laptops with touch screen, the only thing they have in common is they're both made by Apple and now they've the same chip. But they're just completely different devices in entirely different media. It's like Fresh water vs Salt water. Both water, but they have entirely different ecosystems and workflows. The iPad primarily a consumption device with a minor in content creation, and it is single task oriented. The MacBook is a double major in content creation and consumption, plus it is multitask oriented. It's just heavy to log around.
I'm holding out for WWDC to make my decision. I currently have the recent 2020 iPad Pro with 1 TB. I want to upgrade to the new M1 iPad Pro with 2 TB, but I am waiting for Apple to "Confirm" that Final Cut Pro will indeed be running on the new 2021 iPad Pro. Then, I will upgrade. Otherwise, I will just get the new Mac Book Pro in September. (Fully maxed out of course, for heavy video editing)
The decision is made by software applications. As long as Adobe only offers the crippled versions of Photoshop and Lightroom on iPadOS, then the choice must be for a Mac for me.

I’m selling my first gen iPad Pro and early 2013 MBP and getting the M1 iPad Pro, because I don’t need two mobile workstations, I can’t imagine life without an iPad. He had me at “Better camera for video calls”
Ordered the 11” M1 iPad Pro! Can’t wait to get it later this month! Upgrading from the 2019 iPad Air 3, love how my iPad is literally going to be way more powerful than my laptop 😂
@Fromage Pretty much 😂
@Fromage I do love how future proofed the device is. Definitely don’t feel it’ll need an upgrade anytime soon.
@@cadenchurchill4296 bro how’s the M1 iPad Pro?
@@cadenchurchill4296 I am stuck between getting an iMac or MBA or iPad pro12.9 inch!
@@godmode4790 which one do u ended up with?
Note the iPad keyboard will need to be replaced every couple/few years, for some yearly. So the price comes up to be above a MacBook Air and matching or greater than a MacBook Pro. Still, i have an iPad for the note taking (for university) and drawing experience. Get a MacBook Pro/Air if you need a laptop. iPad if you need a note taking - Apple Pencil - or drawing canvas.
Can I use the IPad Pro as a regular laptop? I use Citrix for working remotely, can I use iPad Pro or should I use MacBook Pro or Air ?
I’ve used an iPad to work remotely with RDP.straight to a windows machine and manipulate other computers on the network.
What is the cutoff for the 16gb of ram on the iPad Pro? If I order the 1 tb does it come with 16gb of ram or is it only on the 2tb option
512gb comes with 8gb ram. 1 tb provides 16 gb ram. That’s the reason you see an unusual jump of $400 in price between 512 gb and 1 tb versions. They factor in the 16gb Ram upgrade in that $400. Bad on Apple not giving an option to choose the Ram, but to make us pay.
Weight matters which is why I bought an iPad Pro last year.
I bought the maximum memory and storage available at the time, but now need more.
While I am not a “must have the latest and greatest” kind of guy, I am seriously considering upgrading to the new iPad Pro.
Need to study the new iPad Pro as I bought the magnetically attached keypad for my 3rd generation iPad Pro and I like it.
UPDATE: Wait, $350 for the magic keyboard on iPad Pro.
Maybe I will just keep my current 3rd Generation IPad Pro.
I created a spreadsheet for each feature, assigning scores to both products, then multiplied each feature's importance to me by a scale factor, then averaged the scores. The MacBook got 2.7, the iPad got 2.4. So it's close. Although the iPad had some strong scores, the MacBook pulled ahead for me because of the values I placed on features like software availability and OS compatibility. Hardware is great, but software still rules, for me. I swore off laptops after my 2013 MacBook Air which was so hot under the "W key" that I practically burned my finger playing games. However the M1 runs cooler and thermal imaging shows the hottest location is more near the unused middle/upper keyboard area, not the ASDW keys any longer.
I used to have the surface pro and then move to MacBook Pro + 2020 IPad Pro 11”. Honestly, I still using both. But I will use the iPad Pro more often when I out for meeting with much lighter weight on my shoulder. When I am working from home, MacBook Pro still my first choice as I need a lot of administrative work, especially when I use excel spreadsheet so often for data analysis. I guess IPad Pro is a great device if u come with a better Bluetooth keyboard (magic keyword is not really good for long time typing).
What's your take on the dongles bricking the M1 Mac Pros? I am almost pulling the trigger on one that's currently on sale but I need my hyperdrive dongle to get my USB ports.
It's been solved long ago
@@mplovecraft Thanks. That's very good to know. Since the 14" will probably be much more expensive (I'm betting that they'll push it to $1999 or higher) I'll be getting the M1 for sure. Now, if only gaming was a real option on the Mac...
I'm a novice and hobbyists photographer, which is better for pictures and video editing for the $?
Great video
I love the iPad Pro. I’ve never liked laptops. I find the combination of an iMac and an iPad Pro the best combination for my apartment. And the iPad pro is my main device. I barely use the iMac now (2017 21.5”).
At home I use it more as a consumption device for RUclips, Netflix, some light gaming, browsing, banking, sometimes some drawing with Procreate,
I bring it to work where it acts as a companion device for my workflow : MS teams, MS office, Onedrive, a task planner.
I can even perform our group consolidation on it as that program is working via a web browser.
And it’s great to travel with, whenever that will be possible again.
It’s just a great device
The iPad is my favorite personal device since day 1, however in my case it can not replace my MacBook Pro 15'. (I need both)
+ Multi tasking and Multi App use is far superior and flexible on the MBP and has been a sore issue among many iPad users, including myself, for a decade now.
+ Stationary functions excel on the MBP - Server duties like acting as a Home Theatre Mac/PC, Home Automation and control hub. MBP is still portable.
+ Backup, Sync and File/Data management just makes more sense with a MBP as it can manage all Apple and non-apple devices on a network
+ Virtual machine for many is critical - It runs Windows 10, Windows 7 (for legacy) and Linux
I have been using MacBook Air for a long time now. My work includes emails, video calls and a lot of texting and web based apps. I am intrigued by the iPad Pro but that camera on the wrong edge just puts it off for me. I think I will just upgrade to MacBook Pro (not Air because I think I will futureproof) for the good battery which I need as I travel for the whole day many times, fan to cool it down in case it needs to (like when I have way many tabs open in Chrome along with WhatsApp, Wechat, skype, Teams, etc running together). Thanks for helping me with this good comparison. I was so much waiting for this comparison for you. Time to order my MacBook tomorrow.
As tempting as it is, I’m holding onto my 18 iPad Pro and seeing what iPad OS 15 brings.
How is your ipad pro doing? Been thinking about getting an ipad
@@luisdanielson800 no issues at all. I don’t use it daily but pretty often and it’s still going good.
@@DLITINTHEHOUSE how much storage and ram does yours come with?
Can the iPad Pro handle Microsoft office like PowerPoint, excel, word??
What if you already have a 2020 11” iPad Pro and a M1 MacBook Pro. Would y’all get the M1 12.9” iPad Pro for the new screen tech and processor
The iPad Pro is futuristic with the Pencil. It does so much stuff and so fast and efficiently in creativity applications amongst other things. Apple hit a home run with this generation of iPads. What does it lack? Nothing. I have the 512 gb and 11” model and so glad I got this. I can never go back to laptops.
I need Mac OS and a physical keyboard. I opted for the MacBook Pro
Honestly this was a great great great video. Not only did Rene provide a direct comparison of features but presented the analysis in a way where my simple mind can understand and help me make an informed decision!
Thanks!
If Capture One were brought to the iPad Pro, I would absolutely go with the iPad over the MacBook. That’s just me though.
What is capture one? :)
@@DieFarbeLila88 lol. Exactly. Hardly anyone cares.
Capture One is the Adobe Lightroom or Apple Photos answer from the Phase One Medium Format camera system to RAW processing of images and DNG management. It’s an industry standard equivalent to Adobe’s products in the photography world.
I suppose Phase One’s Capture One team could do that, but honestly, iPadOS is not robust enough even if the hardware is there. It will just keep crashing.
@@arielrglaze only reason why I care about Capture One is because Lightroom doesn’t work well with Fuji’s XTRANS camera sensors. Capture One does a much better job when working with Fuji camera files. Normally, I use Lightroom, but I switched Camera brands, so it matters to me what I’m editing with.
@@DieFarbeLila88 an editing software used to edit photos. Normally, I use Lightroom, but I recently changed my camera system. Unfortunately, Lightroom doesn’t work well with my new camera. So Capture One is my next best bet.
Before getting my MacBook Air M1, I had a 2013 but I also had the iPad Pro 2018 and older models. I would use it basically 90% of the time which is probably why I never upgraded my laptop till the M1. Now? I wish I would've waited for the iPad Pro M1. I just prefer the touch interface of the iPhone and iPads but as a web developer, I need those pro apps mainly programming ones. If 2021 we finally see serious pro apps coming to iPadOS, I'll make that permanent switch. I may still do that anyway and just get a cheap Mac mini just in case. ;-)
Dude if you could have proper environments on iPad it'd be fkn over, like legit fkn over. I already hardly ever look back at anything except my desktop for this very purpose.
Video summary: Want a MacBook? buy a MacBook. Want an Ipad? buy an ipad.
4:00 You forgot about centre stage, it completely fixes this issue.
I mentioned center stage! What makes you think it solves for camera position?
@@ReneRitchie I would assume it fixes the side eye issue we see now ?
Are you 100% sure it solves the issue? Cuz my intuition doesn’t match that. At the end of the day, a camera can’t make your eyes look like they’re pointing somewhere they’re not. The ultrawide camera could zoom you out to make the side eye less noticeable, but I don’t yet buy that it can actually correct the problem
@@Isengardtom Yep!
Can I airdrop from my iphone 12 pro max to the new iPad pro? I would then need to connect a USB C dongle to the Ipad pro. After that I would want to move the file or move to a regular USB. Can this be done?
I’d buy a 2TB iPad Pro on Friday if it only supported multiple user accounts. Sadly, that is not so.
I guess I’m waiting from the M2 Macbook Pro later this year.
My question honestly is that, isn’t M1 little too hot or battery hungry for iPad size? Does M1 that great so we don’t have to worry about it at all?
Why doesn’t apple make the iPhone rear cameras work as a linked chooseable camera in app like zoom and got to meetings on the iPad. Yes use the phone’s camera as an additional iPad camera in apps for meeting calls.
I’m definitely getting the new iPad Pro 12.9 inch quick question anyone I have a mid range 2018 MacBook Pro and I really want to get the 13 inch MacBook Pro and one so I can get rid of that old keyboard and my 2018 MacBook Pro just hits way too much anyone have any recommendations appreciate it
Will the new M1 iPad Pro will it have 10 hours battery life or will it have better battery life like the new M1 laptops?
I still have the first generation Ipad air for almost 8 years now and was planning to use it for 10 years however no I am seriously doubting to upgrade to the ipad pro.
I wanna get a new ipad. But I don‘t see myself putting the M1 to good use. I use my current ipad for note taking and procreate. I think the 12.9“ 2020 iPad Pro will work just fine for me
Curious how much memory do you use idk if I get the 128gb or 256gb
@@nate-qf6qk I went for the 256GB model. But only because it was the same price as the 128GB model. I really don't see myself needing that much space tbh. 128GB should be fine for most use cases.
Would be great if Sidecar allows not only to share screen but also a computing power of iPAD CPU
I am an undergraduate student going into my first year of uni text year. I will study business management and I need a new decide. I wanted to get the new iPad Pro to fully replace my laptop but I am not sure. ( I don't do a lot of things except typing on words, using Netflix and youtube and just studying in general with my laptop ) Also, I thought that the iPad can be better because I can take notes and draw on it... which one do you think I should get ?
Can someone explain to me why the displays use local dimming zones and not just have a white or blue LED behind each RGB pixel? Also why don't dimming zones cause halos around bright objects??
Honestly, I didn’t even think about you doing a video about M1 MacBook Pro vs M1 iPad. Always reading buddy. Good job 👍
Somebody help me please! Do u recommend a refurbished base M1 MBP for $1099? Or a refurbished M1 MBA upgraded with 16gb of ram? (which cost almost the same)... I love the touch bar... but at the end, Ram might be more useful right? I can't decide yet :/
What would you guys recommend for a high schooler?
iPad Air 2020
what i have to say is when a guy searches for any ipad vs macbook he or she wants to know about apps compatibility can i use excel better with ipad and can i use softwares like R and code on ipad? we dont want to know specs
Thanks for amazing tips, I'm now getting that refurbished iPad Pro 12.9" 1TB 5G I saw for 1500 Euros ☺️
M1 iPad 12.9 worth it if you have the iPad Air 4? I also have an M1 MacBook air
Worth it for what, friend? I think only you can decide if you want or need the device, no one else can really give useful input. Like, how much is $1100+ worth to you? Are you okay giving up that big a stack of cash for the sake of a beautiful display and a second M1 chip?
There's nothing about the iPad Pro that would make me pick it over the MBP M1 (And I would pick the MBA over the MBP). I've owned two iPads and while they seem cool and I imagine myself doing all sorts of things they both ended up in a drawer. One I forced myself to use as a notepad during one semester, but it was painful. In the end there's simply no case where I wouldn't rather use my iPhone or MBA than an iPad.
Better - M1 Macbook Air. It's much underrated. Let me tell you, it's a beast.
I have a iPhone 11 Pro Max and Apple Watch series 5 LTE Nike and I have pre-order New IPad Pro 2021 11 inch 256GB 8GB Rams
Dear Rene please advise regarding my question of connecting an external video monitor to the New M1 IPad Pro and using it as the second video monitor with the new M1 Mac....would it support?
I believe the magic keyboard has a usb-c passthrough port as well, although I don't know how or if that would work with thunderbolt since I use the 2018 model
i really need an iPad Pro rather than the Macbook Pro because of drawing job, but currently the adobe apps aren’t that optimal in iPad Pro right now, some of ppl say that adobe will optimalized it in 2022 for the apple silicon.
do you think Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, After Effect, and Corel Draw could work well in the iPad Pro M1 with 8GB of RAM in 2022? is it compatible enough for 10 years usage?
if im being realistic of what im doing right now, im gonna go with macbook, we all already know the softwares will works well there bcs those apps are built for the laptop. but, if it does works well on the iPad next year, i’ll be regret my decision so bad for buying a Macbook Pro.
or must i buy 16GB RAM instead? but i can’t it’s too expensive. and i still have to buy apple pencil, keyboard, mouse, and additional ports for the iPad. and the softwares.
I dont have a personal Apple device yet and I am thinking between iPad pro 11 inch and macbook pro 13 inch it's like I am starting to get in the apple ecosystem please suggest something
@The Medic Gamer ikr but my parents prefer a macbook and I am really having a hard choice because if I am buying either I am spending 1500 bucks in total
Hoping the M1 iPad might become supported with OS X apps like Logic Pro.
The day they support logic pro X on the ipad, I am buying it. Util then, I hold my cash.
i bought the Ipad pro 12.9.
Why? The touchscreen. But i hope Apple will make the apps more like on the MacOs.
Why mount it to the side? In zoom calls and face time call I am looking to the side at all times.
Do you think the M1 iPad with its Thunderbolt port will be able to connect an external HD to backup directly so you won't have to use a computer with iTunes?
It’s not possible?
Woow I didn’t know that. I’m gonna try to find options for that
Do I read the tea leaves right and there is a m1 iPad Pro specific magic keyboard that just isn’t with mentioning but will be available at ship time ? Great video
Honestly Rene, I feel like people who get iPads should realize that it's an entirely different machine than the MacBook. They're not laptops with touch screen, the only thing they have in common is they're both made by Apple and now they've the same chip. But they're just completely different devices in entirely different media. It's like Fresh water vs Salt water. Both water, but they have entirely different ecosystems and workflows.
The iPad primarily a consumption device with a minor in content creation, and it is single task oriented.
The MacBook is a double major in content creation and consumption, plus it is multitask oriented. It's just heavy to log around.
can we use Pycharm in iPad on iPadOS version OR it"s only compatible with MacOS??
I really wish I could use my iPad Pro with MacOS. The multi-tasking capabilities on the iPad are just way too limited and updated way too slowly.
When you are going to unbox new iPad pro 2021, I am eagerly waiting for it
They don't exist until next month, no?
Should we wait for Apple's WWDC event in June before buying any Macbook?
Is the I pad pro good for running Logic Pro for music production running many vst n plugins
Just put in my pre order for the iPad Pro 12.9 Space Grey 256gb & Bought the Apple Pencil 2 for it... Cant wait.
I'm holding out for WWDC to make my decision. I currently have the recent 2020 iPad Pro with 1 TB. I want to upgrade to the new M1 iPad Pro with 2 TB, but I am waiting for Apple to "Confirm" that Final Cut Pro will indeed be running on the new 2021 iPad Pro. Then, I will upgrade. Otherwise, I will just get the new Mac Book Pro in September. (Fully maxed out of course, for heavy video editing)
Likes for 4 "studio quality" mics! How's uses in gaming
The decision is made by software applications. As long as Adobe only offers the crippled versions of Photoshop and Lightroom on iPadOS, then the choice must be for a Mac for me.
But it’s sold separately…… for $350…
Very accurate and thorough. If you can’t make your mind after this video. You never will.
Is Google earth pro available on the new iPad Pro?
