Why use a phone if you have a tablet…………….poor lazy people use their phones for everything……try working for a living getting up around 5am and paying taxes then you can have pc,laptop,tablet and a phone then you can use what convenient…..and not commenting on things you have gifted to you…….
A tablet becomes 100x more useful the moment you add a stylus. Nothing else can replace that workflow, be it for notes, casual doodling or quickly signing docs.
Exactly this. I use it for 3D CAD, white boarding in meetings, diagraming, concept apps etc. It is basically a digital piece of paper, with all the benefits of being digital.
@dimwitted-fool well you can get a very good one with 300/400 already (im searching for one to draw/taking notes at uni, i have a PC already so a laptop to me is kinda unneded)
@faironero yeah but point of the video was that the super powerful tablets are useless because there is nothing that would utilise their potential and cheaper tablets are good enough for all the stuff people use tablets for
I'm an engineering student and my iPad changed my life, it's so much more convenient to carry an iPad with a pencil that has all the books, courses and notes than carrying 3 notebooks, pens and pencils and rulers etc... In addition to that, it's so easy to just paste a diagram or a problem anywhere and writing on it, and it's way faster, easier and clearer to write, erase and solve complexe problems on an iPad
Can't believe this is being overlooked (once again) by one of the biggest tech RUclipsrs on the internet. Virtually ALL students in my University have some sort of tablet for digital note-taking. I would dare to say this is a huge market, and not a “small niche”.
No! I have the Lenovo thinkpad x1 2-in-1 with a stylus. It is so easy to love the pen, the handwriting recognition, the drawing, the palm rejection. But I cant get over the fact that the keyboard is the best input device, period. It is the fastest input device there is. You can write no look, keep your eyes on the board, turn to your neighbour, Look out the window, all while not missing a beat while typing. And on the thinkpad especially, the keyboard is so good you dont want to lift your hands, which is why you have the trackpoint. If that's not enough, you have the sensel touchpad. The stylus has it's merrit when Im in the field or on the job at Kindergarten, documenting observations, filling forms... Also, it's incredible fun to use. Works like magic. But aside from that, it's keyboard>touchpad=trackpoint>stylus/Touchscreen combo.
I'm a classical musician and having all of my sheet music in one place connected to a page turner pedal and a high quality pen to make notes on the pages with is massive!
Yup, this! To be able to display paper-sized music tagged, organized, capable of making nondestructive notes, edits, and copies, and to be able to perform with it connected to a pedal to turn pages so I never have to lift my hands from the piano is AWESOME.
Yep. My sister got a Lenovo Android tablet (the big one) for her birthday last year so she can use it to display sheet music when playing piano. Big game changer over using her convertible style laptop.
As a math teacher it's a game changer. I mirror it to my smart board and walk around the room helping students individually while displaying the notes and instructing. It allows me to be right there if a student needs help, walk around to monitor engagement, and check work as we go to make sure no misconceptions go beyond my classroom.
I love that so much! It was a new and uncommon thing when my geometry teacher used a tablet PC (back in the Windows XP days) to do exactly that, but it was great for all the reasons you said; absolutely one of the best experiences I even had as a student! I am so glad every time I hear another teacher uses that approach!
I have my students work out the problems on it as I walk around the room as I'm teaching and use it as "scratch paper" for extra practice as I'm helping the kids.
I use the Surface Pro from Microsoft as a laptop, at which point "bringing the laptop to bed" is very much a possibility. If those 2 in 1s didn't exist I'd maybe look for a tablet as well, but since they exist, there's not really an issue for me.
@TheLunoLion1 Bought a Surface Go end of 2019 and realized 1 and a half year later it doesnt support Windows 11. So never ever MS hardware for me. Such a no go.
@TheLunoLion1 the surface is quite literally a tablet with low end laptop hardware and a PC software instead of android so no bringing a laptop to bed is not a possibility, its that built in keyboard that makes a difference between the tablet and the laptop, if it has a keyboard but the hardware is inside the display then its a tablet, if it has a chassis where hardware and keyboard are inside then its a laptop im sure theres certainy areas where having a tablet with the power of a laptop is useful but id rather buy a decently priced tablet and a decently priced laptop that each are better at their respective task than something that tries to emulate the best of both worlds like i could get an OLED tablet like the magic pad 2 for 500 euro wich is amazing for content and a laptop for 1000 with a rtx 4060 mobile for gaming or productivity, the real laptop will be far better than a surface pro with oled that costs 1500 and i got 2 devices i can use for different tasks that are simply better at their tasks than 1 single device that costs the same
Aviation is huge on iPads. Airline pilots use to carry brief cases that weighed over 50 pounds sometimes, because of the REQUIREMENT that they carry airport charts for every possible airport they could land at on their flight, like if they had an emergency. Once the iPad demonstrated its reliability, the FAA changed the rule to allow pilots to carry the charts on an iPad. Literal game changer.
I fly for a cargo airline. Work issued iPad is the only apple device i have. Yes it has the charts you mention, plus all our company manuals. We used to have ~60 page printout for each flight, now issued electronically. Two functional, updated ipads charged above 80% are required for dispatch. The number of man hours saved by not having to physically update paper manuals and charts for an entire fleet is staggering.
Airline pilot and have my company issued ipad that contains all required documents and the electronic flight bag Jepp Pro program. I also have a personal ipad 11inch pro that I use that gives me inflight weather and flight planning capabilities using a program called Foreflight that is paired with an external ADS-B receiver that allows me to have live weather updates as well as traffic and many other features used when flying. Then when I get to my layover I use it as my computer with keyboard and stylus. The funny thing is Foreflight does not work with android.
Aircraft maintenance engineer here. I am using iPad Mini 7 for work to go through hundreds of pages of maintenance documentation, making notes during inspections, scanning documents and to manage my B2B contract. Basically must have for me and the form factor of iPad mini is perfect because it is easy to carry, super light and sometimes can fit into work clothes pockets. I tried them all and landed on iPad mini every time. At home it is also perfect size to read books on and to edit photos that I like to take as a hobby. I really do not use computer anymore.
For general aviation pilots for sure. For commercial aircraft they mostly use bigger iPads as on-board documentation computers. In hangar maintenance environment iPads are not commonly used tbh. People prefer paper most of the time but for me it is much more convenient to just carry iPad.
Probably because the screen itself requires the port to be further to the rear of the device. Otherwise they would have to make the whole tablet thicker just for the sake of symmetry.
I used to think that, "I can do nothing with a tablet that I couldn't do on my phone or PC." Until I got a Tab S10+. I realized that tablets are not about doing something different, it's about doing it more comfortably. Reading, drawing, watching videos while chilling on the sofa or the bed. Tablets are so good to do stuff that the phone screen is too small and the PC is too "rigid" for. Edit: maybe more "comfortably" isn't the best way to describe it. The tablet feels more convenient or nicer to use casually, walking around the house, or while doing chores. I watch football matches while doing the dishes all the time. Why not a laptop? Like I said, tablets are easier to hold and carry around, super light and small. Also, their screens and pens are so good and precise for drawing, I'm not sure if laptops can compete with it. Laptops can be more powerful, but that is for another type of use, for that I would stick with my PC.
he didn't forget about them, he mentioned how people only use ipads and tablets for a single use purpose. For a student that single use would be notetaking
Personally I find tablet use to be sort of a paper replacement. They're good for reading books, taking notes, dealing with calendars, drawing, and spreadsheets. All things that used to be books, or book adjacent. Which is probably why tablets are the preferred form factor for e-ink displays. Also, I think the standby time in that tablet that you showed is very important to most use cases of a tablet. Also why I have considered getting the Google tablet, because of its dock to put it on. I can just leave it there when I'm not using it and it'll always be ready once I pick it up. Which makes me wonder why I don't see tablet dock stands more often.
You're so right! I've long been wondered why more tablets don't ship with docks, especially in the growing context of smart home assistants like the Google Nest range and all that.
I got a used tablet back when I was an engineering student, suddenly I could leave those 700 page study books at home and just use the pdf versions instead! My backpack got so light! Since then I’ve used a tablet more or less every single day; I watch content, draw in Adobe Fresco, show recipes while cooking, control my lights via Sidus Link, and when I’m playing music I have all my chord charts on a tablet instead of loose papers - and when we change something (key, song order etc.) everybody on stage gets the same update without passing a pen around 😁
This! Decided to try going 100% paperless with textbooks and notes one year. I went from a 40lb overstuffed backpack to a 10 lb slim one, with a pdf copy of every textbook on my tab S7+ and OneNote, among other apps.
@МаркВысоцкий-т5м In our worship team we're using Music Stand connected to Services, they work with both operating systems 🙂 I've heard of many other apps with similar functionalities, but I haven't used them so I can't name-drop any from the top of my head 😅
I know what you mean tablets are easier to read from (text books or sheet music). I don't agree with Marcus Brownlee -I mean a tablet will always have a use case over a small phone screen as something that prevents the eye strain health problem (since there is a bigger screen on table) and is portable; Marcus is unaware of this advantage according to his video.
I think Marcus misses a huge point, the premise is wrong. A tablet isn't something that a pc or a phone CANNOT DO, a tablet is something that can do things MORE CONVENIENTLY.
Absolutely. I hate using a laptop. I open my laptop once or twice a month, when it’s the most convenient and effective choice for a very certain task. Most often tablet is the fastest, easiest and most ergonomic choice to get a job done. Nowadays an Android tablet. I used to favor iPads for a very long time, when they were without a doubt better devices.
I am an audio engineer. Tablets are absolutely AWESOME in my world. Pretty much any pro-audio mixer has some form of remote control capability, and it is amazing to have the option to walk around with an iPad instead of setting up a whole sound booth. Depending on the gig, there is no front-of-house and you just have to take the hit. It's super clutch to have the Mixing Station app for small to medium sized events. (Also, giving the artist an extra tablet for their personal monitors is just as handy.)
I often use it for note-taking on scripts too, but the mobile apps like SQ-Pad are brilliant when in rehearsals where I'm frantically running around trying to sort out mics and bands and whatever else!
I’m an audio engineer as well, but my serves mainly as a screen for my analogue console that allows me to a) not mix so much with my eyes, and B) it doesn’t get in the way of the sound coming from the speakers. Also handy for going into the live room and using it as a remote transport control.
I can't lie, for high school students, tablets with stylus are a game chnager. They make out bags so much lighter, we get much more utility, with the tablet basically replacing our books and our laptop (for the most part) and its quite popular. Like ~50% of the senior high school kids i know use a tablet for school.
2in1 is far better. Unless your constrained by specific software usually Windows in a 2in1 covers everything. Though they have been a bit chunky the latest AMD 365+ chips should help. I got an old 2nd hand Surface 7 just for notetaking and scheduling. You can't beat a real keyboard and add a stylus and everything is covered.
My experience teaching English and music is that while tablets can be SUUUUPER useful and allow you to do a bunch of things that would be impossible without them, ...they’re just kinda small. I used to see my students having to resize and scroll around all the time, and even though I went through the trouble of creating worksheets from scratch specifcally for the screen size we used at that school, I found that it’s pretty limiting compared to a letter or A4 sized sheet of paper. So I’m torn.
They let high schoolers use tablets in class now?? That's awesome. I thought that was just a collage thing. Too bad I missed out on that. When I was in high school, if anyone dared to bring out a phone, tablet, or any other device in class, it would be confiscated the instant the teacher noticed, even if you just wanted to use it for notes.
I use the Samsung Tab S9+ for playing games, browsing the internet, studying, and using apps like RUclips and Netflix when I'm not at home. One of my favorite things is the ecosystem. I don't have a game console, but with Smart View, I can project the screen of my tablet on my TV without any cable, sit back, and play the game I want for hours. With the 'Pause USB PD charging when gaming' feature, I can play without overheating and maintain high FPS. One thing I don't like is the glare, often called the mirror effect. It's frustrating to see yourself reflected when you look at the screen. I got rid of this problem by using a matte screen protector. In the Tab S10 series, they solved this situation to a magical extent with the 'Anti-Reflection' technology.
As a truck driver in Europe, I'm using a tablet as a navigation device, split screen a navigation app, and Google maps satellite view. Plus, video chatting and of course RUclips on breaks. It's very useful for me ...
Students has been and is a huge market for tablets. I feel like most reviews about tablets miss that point, because they’re not in the target demographic. But tablets became essential note taking tools.
agreed thats what i use it for, taking notes, revising/ filling in the worksheets as my degree (engineering) is a lot of maths that i just cant do on a laptop, and using it to play organic chemistry tutor videos while i type out notes (ones that are in sentences) on my laptop
No, a keyboard is always going to be better than a stylus, which is just a gimmick at best. Unless you specifically need drawing, signing or handwriting, there's not many use cases for a stylus.
@Leanzazzynah dude idk what world you live in but it’s impossible to do maths on a keyboard… also in a lot of my courses I need to draw diagrams and arrows and such
@Leanzazzyno it’s not. You can’t do anything on keyboard beyond typing. You can’t do math, you can’t do sketching, you cant draw models or brainstorm and so on. So if anything, it’s the other way around. A keyboard is single-purposed, whether something like an Apple Pencil is a versatile tool.
Marques, I have a specific use case. As a contractor, tablets are lifesavers. It saves hours of drawing by hand when measuring for a new kitchen or cabinet install, as well as anywhere where a picture can be snapped of an existing area and then measurements can be drawn right over top. It is a workflow gamechanger.
I worked IT at a construction firm 10 yrs ago. The company made an effort to get superintendents a combo of company phone, laptop, and iPad. We got them iPads with cellular connection so that it could double up as a hotspot for their laptops. But more importantly for these guys, they could use their iPads to look up blueprints (Plangrid app), schematics, quickly check emails, photos, etc... All this was easier to do on a tablet that it would have been on either a laptop or phone, especially when you're walking and working at a construction site. Just got a Samsung tablet for work last month, and wish I had done that sooner. Tablets do have their place and specific niches, because when you need them, you definitely NEED them and can't imagine going back.
@garanceadrosehn9691 Not really, i always use iPad to take photos of an area of a house, do rough sketch's including measurements on top of the photo. Access it from Google photo at home PC and start to design. It's very convenient. No lidar required at all. Not to mention now I can do design work from iPad using SketchUp App, the app works very well.
Event technician here. We use them a lot. From looking at pdf plans over setting up equipment to controlling sound while moving through the crowd or when there is no space for FOH desk. At my last job I could control the complete tech for a big stadium in Europe (70.000pax) just from my iPad Pro over VNC: Sound, lights & video.
I love being able to connect to a digital soundboard and adjust audio for different locations in the room. The sound board is never in an optimal spot.
I'm a highschool student in italy and I've been having the OnePlus pad 1 for the past two years. It saved me, honestly. I can take notes and read school books of all subjects just with one 500 grams device. I don't have to worry about forgetting books or having to suffer carrying all of that stuff in the backpack. I think that tablets are mostly used by students that want to write down notes and still having some of the benefits of a PC and a smartphone.
About to comment but first comment already echoed my thoughts lol. Tablet is the perfect tool for studying indeed. Also, help with keeping me awake or alert as a part-time student having to attend classes after work. I can also scribble stuff and easily remove them afterwards. Also, these tablets can be easily purchased off 2nd hand and they are still in very good condition.
@droningandgoing9286I have a OnePlus Pad myself, the best app in my opinion is notewise. You get all the features which goodnotes has as well, for a one time fee.
Web dev here. I bought my Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra primarily as a portable second monitor for its great screen, plus you're getting all the goods the tablet can get you. I was surprised how nice it is doing code review from my bed, google meetings, and browsing web. Plus, once you start using maps on the tablet, it's a game changer. I can't imagine planning my cycling joyrneys any other way
@dongronki It will advertise itself on the network as a wireless display. Windows supports wireless displays. It is as simple as putting the tablet in the right mode and a windows key shortcut.
That’s it, for every laptop user in medschool there is 5 tablet users. You’re not suffer spending 6hrs/day studying on a laptop, a laptop on the other hand is way more comfortable.
"Study purpose." Translation: typing into Chatgpt and reading the answers. Don't worry nothing wrong with googling or chatgpting even in active practice of medicine. Which I assure you is routinely done.
As someone who works on ships, bringing my laptop to ship isn't very convenient and upon that, add all the immigration checks at airports, seaports and what not. So, a tablet really comes handy while travelling, watching movies onboard lying in bed, and reading/editing PDFs of line diagrams and machine drawings.
My brother is also a marine engineer, and he takes a laptop with him, but he always says how inconvenient it is. I will recommend him the iPad. Thanks for sharing
@LiquidSwords007 dont recommend the ipad have him do some research to insure he finds the right tablet. my galaxy tab s8 ultra tablet has a 14.6 inch screen and android is vastly superior to apple when it comes to a computer like experience. i have an iphone and apple is very limiting inconfiguration and overall usability
@LiquidSwords007I am a marine engineer myself and i can totally understand his complaints regarding carrying a laptop to ship. In my personal preference, the 11 inch one is just the perfect size for most of the use cases. Although, i was very inclined towards the iPad mini at the beginning, but the 11 inch one is just perfect.
Tablets for piano players are an absolute must ! Not only do they give you a screen size comparable to a piece of paper, but many apps for sight reading music can "flip the page" for you. Having also the ability to draw on them and writing notes for any piano player is super important. Being able to add dynamic markers, highlight arpeggios, write down key changes, and transpose notes all make having a tablet super clutch.
Same for me as a drummer. I have my sheet music and metronome in the same location. I can change my in ear mix in the same place. I am never going to go back to paper
Yep, it’s all about forScore. That’s my #1 use for my iPad. I bought a used pro for it and a 3rd party stylus and it’s been perfect, no need for latest and greatest chip, just the larger screen. I would actually consider an android tablet to save money next time i upgrade, but it’s always just easier to stay in the same ecosystem.
piano player here too. I still use paper for sheet music, because I want an eInk tablet (A4 size), but that doesn't really exist (it does, but at horrendous prices)
+1 to this. My kids plug the android tablet into the piano to learn piano. Since there isn't enough space for a laptop and the phone is too small, the tablet plays an important role there for us as well.
1. Reading documents and manuals. 2. Editing photos in lightroom. 3. Light video editing. 4. Better for reading and watching manga. 5. Watching movies on the go. 6. Jotting down quick ideas with the stylus. I use the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, and its still butter smooth.
@bjorn-falkoandreas9472 Starting today, as it happens, the EU requires 5 years of updates for phones and tablets. 10 years was never an option. So, your wish has already been realized, without thicker devices and whether the corners are rounded or not. Besides that, I still have a working tablet from 2018 and use it regularly.
@bjorn-falkoandreas9472 corners on an ipad are even more rounded than on the tab s8. And neither of them are too bad... so I don't really see your point. While I hate rounded screens and prefer right angles it's such a tiny difference especially on a giant tablet
In Germany, everybody in my school uses a tablet or an ipad for taking notes during class. That, plus having a bigger screen that's portable sells it for everyone.
In the University where I teach, basically every students takes note with a keyboard, I have hardly ever seen one taking notes with a stylus, but I guess that may be different based on the faculty...
I‘m a Student. I use my iPad with pen for taking notes directly on the lecture slides and generally everything I would do with a pen. For everything else, I use my phone or laptop
exatly same for me too, amd it blends very well with my m1 mac and iphone, and I belive ipad 10th is the best usecase ipad, others are just overkill for most
I used to do the same thing on my surface pro, but it was and older 8gb/128 i got on a deal and eventually needed replacing. I used the stylus to keep doing that same thing on my 2-in-1 windows laptop when i felt like pen transcribing my notes, but sometimes I would rather just type them.
Oh I love my tablet for: - Taking notes - Reading manga/comics - Watching media - Play coop local games w/ friends - Use it as secondary monitor in my work office (SuperDisplay is GOD) - Use it as monitor for my camera (Monitor+ GOD) - Edit my photos in lightroom - Macro controls for recording my music - My smart tv was kinda slow so I used to connect it via HDMI and SamsungDex helped a lot - Watching tutorials or midi learning piano songs - It saved me in a pinch for my work (Using web-based apps like Figma or google docs)
Heck yeah, a tablet power user 🫡🫡 Currently wanting a tablet for reading and taking notes through college, but not sure that a 13" tablet is small enough to be reasonable lol.
@prn-ice Depending on your Window Manger, you can try creating a virtual display and using Sunshine to stream the virtual display to Moonlight running on the tablet. In case your Window Manager doesn't support virtual displays, you can buy a dummy DisplayPort/HDMI/VGA plug to make the PC think there's another display connected, and use that to do the streaming.
So for me, I play many music instruments, and having a tablet to reach sheet music and chords is just amazing. It is just the middle ground I need between a phone and a laptop, like you said. On one hand it's a big screen that is easy to read from, it is dynamic (unlike sheet music I print), but unlike a laptop with a big screen, I can actually put it on the piano or a sheet music stand
same for me, I sing in a choir, iPad is super useful for scores (app most musicians use: ForScore) - laptop or iPhone is no option there. I will consider this tablet for my next purchase. But Niche, definitely.
I personally use my android tablet for purely media consumption. I stick it in a holder and binge watch content, and also do rare video calls. But it does come in handy when I attend an interview and I don't have my laptop with me.
As an engineering student, I have used my Samsung Galaxy tab S9+ for almost 2 years now. And I use it for a minimum of 6 hours almost every day for note taking, writing documents and spreadsheets, research, and light code writing. In my free time I use it for watching movies, running some more basic music software for recording, and playing some games. I have a gaming laptop as well to run the big programs for school, but my tablet is so much lighter and more portable. My tablet basically goes with me everywhere I go, and my laptop stays at home. Worth every penny almost 2 years later so far!
@Katisit0I use vscode for java programming and the Matlab app as well. Both are slightly more limited versions of the pc versions but they are good enough for me for when I'm either in a cs lecture or working on a project and editing code. If you do lots of coding, I'd recommend using an actual pc though!
Med student here, I've had my iPad Pro for almost 5 years now, and can confidently say it has been the best thing I have used for university. Having the ability to write all my notes, whilst being able to type when needed (with the keyboard case), is such a game changer. Not to mention all of the books I now no longer have to carry, and can freely annotate these on their PDF versions...
Also med student here, MKBHD doesn't read comments. He's not the guy you should be watching if you want a decent review of tech in general. In fact I would argue that people who spends the most time on tablets like the ipad are users that use it for studying/work. He could have looked at the most popular apps on the app store before coming to the conclusion that a 1000$ ipad is used for "tipping". Tech guy my ahh doesn't even know how to open up app store to look for the most popular apps. He also doesn't even know what the purpose of an open back headphone is for. Some of the benchmarks he gave in his reviews are completely wrong (and as the tech guy he claims to be he should have known they were wrong and it's a bug) and are only done when it favors samsung/apple. He "interviews" Tim cook and apple employees but his video is more of a promotion and he does 0 interviewing. He also couldn't even tell the difference between a low quality amoled screen device vs a high quality one where he claimed to have used that said device for 2 weeks. He took 3 minutes to review an apple headband strap on the AVP M5 where apple already offered one with the M1 AVP and other 3rd party already offers it, without even comparing them. He also never does a single battery drain test and have been saying in his low quality videos that "it lasts a whole day" since 2020. He also speeds frequently, who knows one day you might be lucky enough at the ER to find one of the victims being a kid he drove over. Good luck to you though in your studies. We are actually in the same year apparently.
I'm a football ⚽ coach and I bought an Android umidigi active tablet for its waterproof and shockproof and long battery life to use it to make team lineups, drill animations and images, strategies and tactics during the games, showing videos and clips to the players and assistant coaches on field, it's always attached to my hand with a band and it's so useful.
When laying down in bed, a laptop is too clunky and uncomfortable while my phone is too small and I don't want to hold it up and close to my face all the time. So I love my tablet.
If you have a phone that have Alt DP, why don't you use something like Xreal glasses where you can just plug in the glasses and view content through the glasses?
id probably use a tablet to replace a laptop if if i need to go somewhere and want a bigger screen, because now that i have a pretty powerful pc i dont need a laptop anymore and sometimes the phone screen is too small to watch youtube or netflix or whatever else u watch
As a nurse, my 11 inch iPad is essential to my workflow. It allows me to carry to carry a tiny computer with me that has most capabilities of a laptop while also having a touchscreen. It is perfect for pulling up patient files or writing reports.
Architect here and the iPad is such a game changer. It’s my sketchbook, moodboard, client presentation screen on the go, 3D viewer, Quick Video editor (Final Cut), Site Instruction notes (Take photo sketch over corrections) The amount of work one can get done on the go or at a site is just insane
Ditto iPad is completely integrated in our workflow. Architect here also. Our office is completely paperless; markups (redlines) are all done on morpholio trace, Goodnotes for taking meeting notes or redlines or doing site inspections. We use OneDrive to link to our mainly pdfs, and do the bulk of drawing on the pc.
As an academician iPad with Apple Pencil is a game changer. To review documents and student submissions with band written notes, to take notes on the literature review with hand written notes that you can search and reference. Using it increased my productivity immensly. Goodnotes, notability or other note taking apps are a must for this.
Student/actor/musician - I got a Galaxy Tab S4 when I started college again, and it was an absolute game changer. It helped that I was also using it for any music gigs for my sheet music and also using it as my digital script where I could write down blocking and notes without having to lug a binder or a script in a spiral binding during rehearsals. That being said, I've had it since release (7 years) and as much as I would love to get a new tab S9 or even the ultra, this tablet does everything I needed to without being too that I can't use it. So in part you're correct that I won't be buying a new one anytime soon.
- As a researcher, I use the tablet + stylus to take notes during meetings (less rude than phones or computers) and to brainstorm ideas with math equations. - I use it on online meetings when I want to draw something as my high-end workstation doesn't have a touch screen. - I also use it to read papers and take note on the papers. Also useful to grade students' work. - I also use it to watch RUclips or Netflix in the bed before going to sleep, in the living room while my wife does something else, or while taking trains (I live on a country where commuting by train is common). - I also like to bring it with me for short trips that I won't need a full laptop. It also helps me on planes - I also use it as android auto in my old car - I sometimes use the PS Remote Play on it as well if I want to be in the living room with my wife while she watches TV. - I use it as a second screen to my computer when I'm not home or in the office. - Finally, I use it to read books and as a casual reader, buying a dedicated device wouldn't make sense. TL;DR: I use my android tablet every other day for different little tasks
As a future music student, I would use it for: -Music Sheet -Editing on the go -Presentations -Second Monitor -Music production/composition outside dormitory -Additional Storage -Canva at School -PPT -Docs -School Works -Online Meetings outside school/dorm -Digital Audio Workstation on the go
@jacobander if there's a DaW like fl studio that's available on a tablet then sure I'd use that, but if it's just on the fly then bandlab for sure, it's reliable and I can just transcribe it to a laptop once I get home or something
I'm a flight attendant and I have an iPad Air (M3). It's perfect for traveling with and it comes in very handy on long multi-day trips. I can watch movies, shows, TV, etc. on it at hotels and it's very useful if I need to fill out reports for my work trips.
I work as a live sound engineer and nowadays we connect tablets to mixing desks directly so we can control sound wirelessly and a tablet is the only way to do this, almost every mixing desk brand has this feature and it's fairly common to be at a show and to see a phone for texting a laptop doing Spotify or RF coordination and a tablet wirelessly controlling sound
I just graduated from university in the Philippines and tablets and ipads are actually kind of an unspoken necessity for students here. It's such a common item that we could leave it as placeholders for seats and no one would steal any of em because everybody has one already. Due to the extreme heat and weather conditions here, traveling to classes are a big hassle especially if someone's going through public transportation so we usually try to bring as little stuff as possible. Hence, for many of us, tablets are the best choice as laptops are usually heavy/too big and notebooks and books are far too heavy and bulky. Tablets solve that issue. Tons of storage means we can just have the soft copy of the materials we need and also still be able to handwrite everything on the materials themselves or on separate notetaking apps. For those of us with breaks between classes, gaming or watching netflix is possible since the battery of tablets are big enough to still have power leftover after hours of mixed use. Plus, for math and numbers-heavy degrees, it's a good lightweight digital pad paper so we don't have to waste as much paper (I used to go through so many packs of paper for equations before I got my tablet). It's basically the more portable laptop.
GIRL I WISH, my uni wasn't even near the metro manila area😭. I hate the real burgis too, but y'all gotta chill out with calling everyone burgis. My family's lower middle class at best😔.
I have a Surface tablet. While I have a standard PC and phone and a Surface is technically still Windows, it has been really nice to have around. It is much easier to read and use for following recipes, it is more comfortable to read from in bed at night, it is smaller and lighter to carry around compared to a laptop when a computer is needed for various things. While it is definitely not used everyday, I do love having something that falls in the middle that I can grab and get halfway to computer if my phone isn't enough and vice-versa.
Which Surface do you use? I just recently upgraded from my Surface Go 3 to a Surface 12-inch. Despite running a Snapdragon chip, apps that need to be emulated run surprisingly well. Though most of the time I just use it for watching videos and web browsing but I get to use full desktop Firefox with all my extensions.
I ditched my Surface Pro 4 because of horrible standby time. 2-3 days and it would discarch so low that I had to do this dance of powering it up with the charger, letting it shut off by itself once it booted up and figured out the battery was too low.once it had about a percentage point of charg, I could boot it up and have it stay on. Another thing is the niggly gimick of a power connector. Somehow sand got on it one time and stuck to it because much of sand has ferrous content. It took me awhile to figure out why it wasn't seating/connecting correctly. I pickup up a Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ and haven't looked back since. @ej_tech
Former reporter and current camera sales guy here. My iPad has become my default laptop replacement for nearly everything I do outside my apartment. When I was a reporter it + the keyboard were indispensable for obvious reasons: light, super portable yet powerful, etc. At work now I use it to edit photos and videos (Lightroom mobile and Final Cut Pro for iPad) and look things up for customers. I'll usually write a bit or watch RUclips on my breaks, but with all that use it still lasts me the entire day until I come home and use my MacBook, which is docked to a 27" monitor. The only times I leave my iPad at home and bring my MacBook with me are when I'm out doing astrophotography because my MacBook has one specific piece of software that my iPad can't use called StarryLandscapeStacker. That's literally it.
As a medical student from India, I use it for watching lectures, making notes and reading PDFs. In my university, more than 85 percent of people have tablets, and we have more than 1500 people here. Also, this is true for all the medical colleges throughout this country, and we have over 700 Med schools in our country. Another reason why students buy these tablets, might be because phones are just too distracting. We open our phones usually for playing games, or texting... So it's nice to have a device that is solely for the purpose of studies and/or long form content.
To some degree, but it's still largely an "Android Tablet Problem" Apple has the best cross platform ecosystem bar none. The only android manufacturer that comes close is Samsung, but even that isn't as good as Apple's. I don't like Apple products personally, but I will admit that their ecosystem is next level compared to Android.
@spoopy_spaghetti2407 coloca IA na mesa e apple hoje faz o que a samsung já está fazendo a uns 2 a 3 anos. A apple não escapou da bolha, só fez o mínimo, como sempre.
Remodel construction manager here. Samsung tablet with a big bumper case has become very useful for me. Remote into server, bring up specs, look at it together with sub on easy to read screen. Make drawings (especially taking a picture of the existing condition and draw on top of it to create a plan), sign documents, take notes.
I am looking for a tablet that is pen compatible for note taking in meetings and writing. Don't need a ton of bells and whistles, just easy to use. Any suggestions?
I’m an amateur photographer and I exclusively use my iPad Pro with Lightroom to edit and manage my pictures. I find it to be the absolute best solution for that thanks to the Pencil and the portability. I can easily take my iPad with me and comfortably edit pictures in a coffee shop. The whole experience is so much nicer than on a computer.
While I think your experience is valid, may I ask what's stopping you from using a Surface Pro instead? I'm just really curious, because my Surface Pro 11 can do seemingly everything that an iPad Pro can do, but runs a full blown desktop OS (Windows 11) and can therefore do many PC-exclusive things - like coding, running desktop versions of apps like Photoshop, and accessing in depth file management systems.
@jasongao2736 I know you didn’t ask me but, have you ever full time used an iPad? I think the experience, for some people, is just too darn good. I don’t care enough about full apps, coding and in depth file management to use Windows more than I need to. And for people that do more serious work, not even pro’s but more than amateurs, they’ll probably own a good laptop or desktop anyway. Tablets are just nice on the road, and for a lot of us the iPad experience is just smooth. Still many flaws of course, don’t get me wrong it’s far from perfect.
@jasongao2736 I'm not Thomas, but I can give you my reasons. I also use my iPad to edit photos in Lightroom while in the way, when I don't want to take my macbook with me. The workflow of loading the photos into lightroom and editing them is seamless, easier than in Desktop since you don't need to have window management, the screen on the iPad is better. Contrast ratio is 2M:1 compared with 1M:1 on the surface. Peak brightness is 1600nits vs 900nits, also the iPad has DCI-P3 wide color vs sRGB. I know iPad is not the best option for lots of things, but I think this is one of the best case scenarios for it. Long lasting battery, huge raw performance (important when exporting), very solid system and apps and, one of the best (if not the best) screens on the tablet market. Plus, if you have other Apple devices, you can enjoy the entire ecosystem connected. Also, the difference in price between them is only $100, you won't save a lot of money neither.
@jasongao2736 I'm not the originator of the comment you replied to, but although the Surface Pro 11 can indeed do all that you say it can, It's still a fairly large and heavy device (which is why MS just came out with a 12 inch version). But if you really don't NEED a full blown desktop for your use case then it doesn't matter.
mostly studying, writing stuff during lectures, also amazing for anything math related, because "writing" math without handwriting is slow and painful. Tablet is light and easy to transport, yet big enough so i don't have to squint when i open book-like pdfs
I have a Tab S9+ that I cracked, but the screen is so bright, I don't ever see the cracks when it's on. My favorite thing though, is that the speakers are incredible quality, which is why one of my main uses is to watch content while in my kitchen on it. But the tablet is also my default carry tool when I meet video clients or have meetings where I want to have documents accessible, readable and give me the ability to share them. If there were a way I could edit high resolution 10 bit or raw videos on it with little to no lag, I would get rid of my laptop for this thing, but maybe one day we'll get that for android!
For me personally, I like to use it for school because of the pen. Whenever I do stuff in the garage, garden or kitchen it's big screen makes it easier to watch something well doing something else but it don't require that amount of space like a Laptop. When I do stuff a handy screen is too small to concentrate on to things at the same time.
I have a Galaxy Tab S9+, and I use it for a few things: - Movies and RUclips - Store and view my sheet music(I'm a saxophonist) - Play all but one of my mobile games - Take notes for school - View and edit Google docs - Read books and articles A lot of people will probably echo a lot of what I mentioned, but I love my tablet and find myself using it quite a bit. I feel like tablets aren't designed to be used all the time, every day. They just make things that would be easier to do on a bigger screen more portable than a laptop and similar enough to the ui of phones that it's easy to pick up and know how to quickly navigate to your tasks.
Currently busy with my PhD and a tablet/iPad would be such a game changer. The amount of readings - articles, journals, dissertations etc. can be really overwhelming. Having my Mac on one side and another monitor on the other is all good but having an iPad really just makes things easier to navigate and to focus. It’s so much easier to have a dedicated device for readings and note taking while using the other two devices for typing, online research, watching videos. The iPad would also help when everything else is packed away and I can just focus on the readings and making notes instead of having a bulky device on my lap or having to connect said bulky device to a monitor. It’s the small things that make a massive difference. It’s almost like “you don’t know what you’re missing until you have it” type of a feeling.
@bandita2068 I've used plenty of androids in my life and honestly I'm just so tired of that rhetoric, It's probably more powerful than what most people need it for but can we normalize putting some good money into something and have it last years. I've bought a $100 Chinese tablet before trust me it was ggarbage. I don't know what country you live in but if you live in a country where you make enough money to buy yourself an ipad I'm gonna safely assume that it's probably not a flex at all to buy an ipad, I live in the US and honestly you can buy an iPhone and you can buy yourself an ipad and no one gives a s*** same way no one cares if you use android.
I love my ReMarkable tablet. It only does two things (reading and writing), and it is expensive relative to that narrow functionality, but it is fantastic. Lightweight, e-ink screen that doesn't strain the eye, and distraction-proof.
@bandita2068I think maybe it’s because I gradually got items from Apple that I would prefer the iPad. I only got my first iPhone in 2023, then my first Mac… fitting the iPad in the ecosystem would be great. But it is generally, quite expensive.
I'm a physician. An iPad mini fits in my white coat. In between patients I can review my patient's charts, look up recommendations, and take notes. It's a game changer. It's worth noting that in professional settings, simply looking those same things up on your phone can be seen as unprofessional (as in "oh he's on his phone"). Having a tablet that I'm navigating with a pencil gives an intentionality to my actions, which challenge those assumptions. It's a great product for those in a professional public space who need to be productive as they move around a lot (Such as walking through the halls of the hospital or navigating in between rooms regularly). Edit: Got some comments on my grammar/slang/spelling. Thanks for catching those! I texted this quickly on my break because I love tech just as much as medicine. Contributing to the conversation was both important and exciting to me. Stay healthy!
I don't know what tablets they use in hospital in the UK. They run software that connects to the server and patient records and the labs. When at their desk they are nearly all Dells and certainly all Windows PCs. The tablet only needs a decent browser to act as an interface to the back end systems.
Never thought about it, but you're so right. It would be really weird, if my doctor suddenly pulls out his phone and agressively starts typing, but bring a tablet into the equation and its suddenly completly fine.
Radiologist here. iPad Pro for my radiology atlas. The touch interface is perfect for quick reference. Then all the articles in on place on the go is hugely beneficial. Almost single use but a Mac will never replace this - for me
What is the need of Pro.... It can be easily done on any 500 - 600$ tablet... Or I can say in many case better if it's a android flagship.... For 99% of users its waste of Resource... Both natural and ₹$£.... Better donate some to one who needs them more than crApple at least that amount can give them months of food or years of clothes...Can difference 💸 change the life of a family.
A tablet is the phone you use at home.
Why use a phone if you have a tablet…………….poor lazy people use their phones for everything……try working for a living getting up around 5am and paying taxes then you can have pc,laptop,tablet and a phone then you can use what convenient…..and not commenting on things you have gifted to you…….
Exactly!
@freddyfrog3192 whats your point
@freddyfrog3192 lmfao what?
1000%!
A tablet becomes 100x more useful the moment you add a stylus. Nothing else can replace that workflow, be it for notes, casual doodling or quickly signing docs.
So many docs I need to quickly sign!!!! So many doodles to casually doodle!!!!! Must spend $700!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly this. I use it for 3D CAD, white boarding in meetings, diagraming, concept apps etc. It is basically a digital piece of paper, with all the benefits of being digital.
@dimwitted-fool well you can get a very good one with 300/400 already (im searching for one to draw/taking notes at uni, i have a PC already so a laptop to me is kinda unneded)
@faironero yeah but point of the video was that the super powerful tablets are useless because there is nothing that would utilise their potential and cheaper tablets are good enough for all the stuff people use tablets for
@MrMozkoZrout true, the super expensive oens are kinda worthless
Wait 'till you're 45 and your eyesight starts going down the pan. You'll suddenly start seeing the appeal of a tablet.
try 40 😂😂
Word
Exactly. And staring at a small phone screen for hours will hasten that time.
Or trying to work via rd on an iPhone 💀
At my 45, i took iPhone SE 1st gen (trust me) to use it as a "PHONE". Bought an iPad mini for everything else.
I'm an engineering student and my iPad changed my life, it's so much more convenient to carry an iPad with a pencil that has all the books, courses and notes than carrying 3 notebooks, pens and pencils and rulers etc... In addition to that, it's so easy to just paste a diagram or a problem anywhere and writing on it, and it's way faster, easier and clearer to write, erase and solve complexe problems on an iPad
most people dont have the money for an ipad
@Terra__TerraTthis comment is targeted for students who are thinking of buying an iPad…
@mariazaghrini7605 its obviously worth the money, doesnt change the fact that it is alot of money
Totally agree, I paid $600 for a 2018 13" ipad pro and that thing put me through engineering school!! Best $600 I ever spent. Still use it at work!
@Terra__TerraTdon’t have 300 bucks?
For students, a Tablet with a stylus is basically their digital best friend they can't live without after getting the hang of it.
True dat
Totally agree. In fact, as a professional who regularly requires to review documents, tablets are my best companion.
This
Can't believe this is being overlooked (once again) by one of the biggest tech RUclipsrs on the internet. Virtually ALL students in my University have some sort of tablet for digital note-taking. I would dare to say this is a huge market, and not a “small niche”.
No! I have the Lenovo thinkpad x1 2-in-1 with a stylus. It is so easy to love the pen, the handwriting recognition, the drawing, the palm rejection.
But I cant get over the fact that the keyboard is the best input device, period. It is the fastest input device there is. You can write no look, keep your eyes on the board, turn to your neighbour, Look out the window, all while not missing a beat while typing. And on the thinkpad especially, the keyboard is so good you dont want to lift your hands, which is why you have the trackpoint. If that's not enough, you have the sensel touchpad.
The stylus has it's merrit when Im in the field or on the job at Kindergarten, documenting observations, filling forms... Also, it's incredible fun to use. Works like magic. But aside from that, it's keyboard>touchpad=trackpoint>stylus/Touchscreen combo.
I'm a classical musician and having all of my sheet music in one place connected to a page turner pedal and a high quality pen to make notes on the pages with is massive!
I do something similar for my guitar. Having a tablet for displaying and playing tabs is one of the biggest helps for me with my own musicianship.
Yup, this! To be able to display paper-sized music tagged, organized, capable of making nondestructive notes, edits, and copies, and to be able to perform with it connected to a pedal to turn pages so I never have to lift my hands from the piano is AWESOME.
I play piano as a hobby. Reading sheet music off my 15 inch tablet, a Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, leaves no compromises; it's the size of paper sheet music.
I do this as well. I use an iPad.
Yep. My sister got a Lenovo Android tablet (the big one) for her birthday last year so she can use it to display sheet music when playing piano. Big game changer over using her convertible style laptop.
As a math teacher it's a game changer. I mirror it to my smart board and walk around the room helping students individually while displaying the notes and instructing. It allows me to be right there if a student needs help, walk around to monitor engagement, and check work as we go to make sure no misconceptions go beyond my classroom.
That’s awesome
W teacher
a teacher who cares, bless you
I love that so much! It was a new and uncommon thing when my geometry teacher used a tablet PC (back in the Windows XP days) to do exactly that, but it was great for all the reasons you said; absolutely one of the best experiences I even had as a student! I am so glad every time I hear another teacher uses that approach!
I have my students work out the problems on it as I walk around the room as I'm teaching and use it as "scratch paper" for extra practice as I'm helping the kids.
I think usecase for tablet is when you want to travel very light but want to still get some things done that are awkward on small phone screen.
Well, I`m not bringing a laptop to bed, and my phone has a nice screen, but I`d rather watch Neflix and chill with a tablet
I use the Surface Pro from Microsoft as a laptop, at which point "bringing the laptop to bed" is very much a possibility. If those 2 in 1s didn't exist I'd maybe look for a tablet as well, but since they exist, there's not really an issue for me.
@TheLunoLion1 Bought a Surface Go end of 2019 and realized 1 and a half year later it doesnt support Windows 11. So never ever MS hardware for me. Such a no go.
@TheLunoLion1 the surface is quite literally a tablet with low end laptop hardware and a PC software instead of android so no bringing a laptop to bed is not a possibility, its that built in keyboard that makes a difference between the tablet and the laptop, if it has a keyboard but the hardware is inside the display then its a tablet, if it has a chassis where hardware and keyboard are inside then its a laptop
im sure theres certainy areas where having a tablet with the power of a laptop is useful but id rather buy a decently priced tablet and a decently priced laptop that each are better at their respective task than something that tries to emulate the best of both worlds
like i could get an OLED tablet like the magic pad 2 for 500 euro wich is amazing for content and a laptop for 1000 with a rtx 4060 mobile for gaming or productivity, the real laptop will be far better than a surface pro with oled that costs 1500 and i got 2 devices i can use for different tasks that are simply better at their tasks than 1 single device that costs the same
100%
You probably have to do a lot of chillin, cause you ain't getting none! HAHAHAH
Tablets are best for watching content while lying on a bed 😂
Same here 😂
Is rather watch a television
Trust me it's not the same
Right ❤
Yes. I think a computer makes me feel like work. A tablet is just for fun.
Aviation is huge on iPads.
Airline pilots use to carry brief cases that weighed over 50 pounds sometimes, because of the REQUIREMENT that they carry airport charts for every possible airport they could land at on their flight, like if they had an emergency.
Once the iPad demonstrated its reliability, the FAA changed the rule to allow pilots to carry the charts on an iPad. Literal game changer.
Flying a plane isn't a game. The stakes are very real.
I fly for a cargo airline. Work issued iPad is the only apple device i have. Yes it has the charts you mention, plus all our company manuals. We used to have ~60 page printout for each flight, now issued electronically. Two functional, updated ipads charged above 80% are required for dispatch. The number of man hours saved by not having to physically update paper manuals and charts for an entire fleet is staggering.
Are you working for Boeing by any chance?
Airline pilot and have my company issued ipad that contains all required documents and the electronic flight bag Jepp Pro program. I also have a personal ipad 11inch pro that I use that gives me inflight weather and flight planning capabilities using a program called Foreflight that is paired with an external ADS-B receiver that allows me to have live weather updates as well as traffic and many other features used when flying. Then when I get to my layover I use it as my computer with keyboard and stylus. The funny thing is Foreflight does not work with android.
What if the iPad dies or loses internet? Are there redundant paper charts
I just got an iPad for Christmas. I’m in the film world and it’s good to have call sheets, and to draw out storyboards
Aircraft maintenance engineer here. I am using iPad Mini 7 for work to go through hundreds of pages of maintenance documentation, making notes during inspections, scanning documents and to manage my B2B contract. Basically must have for me and the form factor of iPad mini is perfect because it is easy to carry, super light and sometimes can fit into work clothes pockets. I tried them all and landed on iPad mini every time. At home it is also perfect size to read books on and to edit photos that I like to take as a hobby. I really do not use computer anymore.
Isn’t the iPad mini like the gold standard for the aviation industry?
For general aviation pilots for sure. For commercial aircraft they mostly use bigger iPads as on-board documentation computers. In hangar maintenance environment iPads are not commonly used tbh. People prefer paper most of the time but for me it is much more convenient to just carry iPad.
My sister has one for work too. She's a flight attendant.
Thanks for sharing🙌 what app are you using to go through PDFs? Thanks:)
The ipad mini is the best form factor for a tablet ever
3:43 that charging port is not bloody aligned, GOD DAMN IT
Probably because the screen itself requires the port to be further to the rear of the device. Otherwise they would have to make the whole tablet thicker just for the sake of symmetry.
@stephenj4937bro come on, Samsung tablet are thin and they got charging port aligned
Povertydroid problems
Yeah noticed that too and then went "I kinda don't really mind"
ohh i thought it was a camera angle thing.
I would use a tablet 99% for youtube/movies and 1% for clash of clans
The RUclips/movies are great tho
That's exactly what I use my tablet for
coc is the main target for me haha, youtube/movies is 2nd
sh*t, that game still exists??
I would only use it for coc or some drawing with a stylus 😅
I use the tablet like a note pad, to write lists, design things with the drawing pen features and some work too👏💡
I used to think that, "I can do nothing with a tablet that I couldn't do on my phone or PC." Until I got a Tab S10+. I realized that tablets are not about doing something different, it's about doing it more comfortably. Reading, drawing, watching videos while chilling on the sofa or the bed. Tablets are so good to do stuff that the phone screen is too small and the PC is too "rigid" for.
Edit: maybe more "comfortably" isn't the best way to describe it. The tablet feels more convenient or nicer to use casually, walking around the house, or while doing chores. I watch football matches while doing the dishes all the time. Why not a laptop? Like I said, tablets are easier to hold and carry around, super light and small. Also, their screens and pens are so good and precise for drawing, I'm not sure if laptops can compete with it. Laptops can be more powerful, but that is for another type of use, for that I would stick with my PC.
This
Bingo, not sure why people are having a hard time understanding this....
This guy gets it
if i want to chill even my phone seems like too much hassle
I totally agree.
my guy forgot about all the students who exclusively use ipads and tablets for notetaking
bizarre considering you have notebooks
No they use laptops pc
Also you need to consider if their parents think a tablet is a worth investment to begin with.
he didn't forget about them, he mentioned how people only use ipads and tablets for a single use purpose. For a student that single use would be notetaking
and workers who have to take notes
Personally I find tablet use to be sort of a paper replacement. They're good for reading books, taking notes, dealing with calendars, drawing, and spreadsheets. All things that used to be books, or book adjacent. Which is probably why tablets are the preferred form factor for e-ink displays. Also, I think the standby time in that tablet that you showed is very important to most use cases of a tablet. Also why I have considered getting the Google tablet, because of its dock to put it on. I can just leave it there when I'm not using it and it'll always be ready once I pick it up. Which makes me wonder why I don't see tablet dock stands more often.
You're so right! I've long been wondered why more tablets don't ship with docks, especially in the growing context of smart home assistants like the Google Nest range and all that.
Gaming, watching content on youtube, sometimes reading
I use my ipad as a second screen, netflix, youtube, browsing, email and signing documents. 9:36
honestly yeah, i just game and watch youtube on it, they are just glorified media machines
Umm ya don't most of us ? Lol 😂
He didn't mention this fact once
Drawing with apple pencil pro...and after can using WhatsApp...u can read docs...sent doc to group while working...no need TV in meeting room
This is why most people never need anything beyond the ~ $300 base model ipad.
Same for me. Also some editing in documents people send me to review.
0:53 bro swiping the screen with the same hand he is holding the tablet like it's no big deal.
he holds the camera with the other hand.
he is kicking a ball with his left foot.
Aaah.. makes sense @pipirudata27
And doesn’t‘t have right leg
Is that not normal when you’re holding a tablet? Just to scroll?
I got a used tablet back when I was an engineering student, suddenly I could leave those 700 page study books at home and just use the pdf versions instead! My backpack got so light! Since then I’ve used a tablet more or less every single day; I watch content, draw in Adobe Fresco, show recipes while cooking, control my lights via Sidus Link, and when I’m playing music I have all my chord charts on a tablet instead of loose papers - and when we change something (key, song order etc.) everybody on stage gets the same update without passing a pen around 😁
This! Decided to try going 100% paperless with textbooks and notes one year. I went from a 40lb overstuffed backpack to a 10 lb slim one, with a pdf copy of every textbook on my tab S7+ and OneNote, among other apps.
What program do you use to convey new features in your songs? Does it only work on android or ios too?
@МаркВысоцкий-т5м In our worship team we're using Music Stand connected to Services, they work with both operating systems 🙂
I've heard of many other apps with similar functionalities, but I haven't used them so I can't name-drop any from the top of my head 😅
I know what you mean tablets are easier to read from (text books or sheet music). I don't agree with Marcus Brownlee -I mean a tablet will always have a use case over a small phone screen as something that prevents the eye strain health problem (since there is a bigger screen on table) and is portable; Marcus is unaware of this advantage according to his video.
Could you share the music app that syncs setlist changes to all band members??
around house when i want a bigger screen but don’t want to .lug a laptop around
I think Marcus misses a huge point, the premise is wrong. A tablet isn't something that a pc or a phone CANNOT DO, a tablet is something that can do things MORE CONVENIENTLY.
Marcus?
@michrisoftor whatever spelling he uses, marquis? Something similar.
@MrTalkingzerojust look at his channel name gng
Absolutely. I hate using a laptop. I open my laptop once or twice a month, when it’s the most convenient and effective choice for a very certain task. Most often tablet is the fastest, easiest and most ergonomic choice to get a job done. Nowadays an Android tablet. I used to favor iPads for a very long time, when they were without a doubt better devices.
I am an audio engineer. Tablets are absolutely AWESOME in my world. Pretty much any pro-audio mixer has some form of remote control capability, and it is amazing to have the option to walk around with an iPad instead of setting up a whole sound booth. Depending on the gig, there is no front-of-house and you just have to take the hit. It's super clutch to have the Mixing Station app for small to medium sized events. (Also, giving the artist an extra tablet for their personal monitors is just as handy.)
I often use it for note-taking on scripts too, but the mobile apps like SQ-Pad are brilliant when in rehearsals where I'm frantically running around trying to sort out mics and bands and whatever else!
So true! Great usage!
IPADS are awesome in the audio world. Most pro audio apps are ios exclusive.
Came here to basically write your comment.
I’m an audio engineer as well, but my serves mainly as a screen for my analogue console that allows me to a) not mix so much with my eyes, and B) it doesn’t get in the way of the sound coming from the speakers. Also handy for going into the live room and using it as a remote transport control.
I can't lie, for high school students, tablets with stylus are a game chnager. They make out bags so much lighter, we get much more utility, with the tablet basically replacing our books and our laptop (for the most part) and its quite popular. Like ~50% of the senior high school kids i know use a tablet for school.
2in1 is far better. Unless your constrained by specific software usually Windows in a 2in1 covers everything. Though they have been a bit chunky the latest AMD 365+ chips should help. I got an old 2nd hand Surface 7 just for notetaking and scheduling. You can't beat a real keyboard and add a stylus and everything is covered.
My experience teaching English and music is that while tablets can be SUUUUPER useful and allow you to do a bunch of things that would be impossible without them, ...they’re just kinda small. I used to see my students having to resize and scroll around all the time, and even though I went through the trouble of creating worksheets from scratch specifcally for the screen size we used at that school, I found that it’s pretty limiting compared to a letter or A4 sized sheet of paper. So I’m torn.
They let high schoolers use tablets in class now?? That's awesome. I thought that was just a collage thing. Too bad I missed out on that. When I was in high school, if anyone dared to bring out a phone, tablet, or any other device in class, it would be confiscated the instant the teacher noticed, even if you just wanted to use it for notes.
@72PMChambers just unfold a keyboard when you need one
I use the Samsung Tab S9+ for playing games, browsing the internet, studying, and using apps like RUclips and Netflix when I'm not at home. One of my favorite things is the ecosystem. I don't have a game console, but with Smart View, I can project the screen of my tablet on my TV without any cable, sit back, and play the game I want for hours. With the 'Pause USB PD charging when gaming' feature, I can play without overheating and maintain high FPS.
One thing I don't like is the glare, often called the mirror effect. It's frustrating to see yourself reflected when you look at the screen. I got rid of this problem by using a matte screen protector. In the Tab S10 series, they solved this situation to a magical extent with the 'Anti-Reflection' technology.
As a truck driver in Europe, I'm using a tablet as a navigation device, split screen a navigation app, and Google maps satellite view. Plus, video chatting and of course RUclips on breaks. It's very useful for me ...
my fella truck driver
guess what, entry level tablets can't give you that benefit
@Oimamanaplz What level of device would a person need to run a navigation app? I’m wanting to purchase one for Navigating waterways.
As a car and motorcyclist I find it disturbing that you think video chatting while driving a truck is OK
@kanevardnot while driving, video chatting only stationary, I'm not that crazy 🤣...
Students has been and is a huge market for tablets. I feel like most reviews about tablets miss that point, because they’re not in the target demographic. But tablets became essential note taking tools.
Thank u i wanted to say the same😊😊😊
agreed thats what i use it for, taking notes, revising/ filling in the worksheets as my degree (engineering) is a lot of maths that i just cant do on a laptop, and using it to play organic chemistry tutor videos while i type out notes (ones that are in sentences) on my laptop
No, a keyboard is always going to be better than a stylus, which is just a gimmick at best. Unless you specifically need drawing, signing or handwriting, there's not many use cases for a stylus.
@Leanzazzynah dude idk what world you live in but it’s impossible to do maths on a keyboard… also in a lot of my courses I need to draw diagrams and arrows and such
@Leanzazzyno it’s not. You can’t do anything on keyboard beyond typing. You can’t do math, you can’t do sketching, you cant draw models or brainstorm and so on. So if anything, it’s the other way around. A keyboard is single-purposed, whether something like an Apple Pencil is a versatile tool.
Marques, I have a specific use case. As a contractor, tablets are lifesavers. It saves hours of drawing by hand when measuring for a new kitchen or cabinet install, as well as anywhere where a picture can be snapped of an existing area and then measurements can be drawn right over top. It is a workflow gamechanger.
... I would think that'd be especially true if you have a tablet with LiDAR!
I worked IT at a construction firm 10 yrs ago. The company made an effort to get superintendents a combo of company phone, laptop, and iPad. We got them iPads with cellular connection so that it could double up as a hotspot for their laptops. But more importantly for these guys, they could use their iPads to look up blueprints (Plangrid app), schematics, quickly check emails, photos, etc... All this was easier to do on a tablet that it would have been on either a laptop or phone, especially when you're walking and working at a construction site. Just got a Samsung tablet for work last month, and wish I had done that sooner. Tablets do have their place and specific niches, because when you need them, you definitely NEED them and can't imagine going back.
@garanceadrosehn9691 Put a tablet on a stand in the middle of the room and it automatically pulls all the measurements.
@garanceadrosehn9691 Not really, i always use iPad to take photos of an area of a house, do rough sketch's including measurements on top of the photo. Access it from Google photo at home PC and start to design. It's very convenient. No lidar required at all. Not to mention now I can do design work from iPad using SketchUp App, the app works very well.
wont there be issues with the scale?
Tiny Instagram on iPad ….is this apple problem or Instagram problem ? Who is supposed to fix it ?
Event technician here.
We use them a lot.
From looking at pdf plans over setting up equipment to controlling sound while moving through the crowd or when there is no space for FOH desk.
At my last job I could control the complete tech for a big stadium in Europe (70.000pax) just from my iPad Pro over VNC: Sound, lights & video.
What app do you use to control those lights ?
Oh wow!! That sounds cool! Can I connect with you to learn more about your work?
I love being able to connect to a digital soundboard and adjust audio for different locations in the room. The sound board is never in an optimal spot.
As a truck driver we used them for ELD, GPS, Documents, music and when off time super great to watch movies,series and mkbhd videos😊
As a Pilot, it’s something we can’t Fly or train without. The best tool out there for me; cant imagine my life without it
absolutely they are atis/awos monsters lol
Came here to say this. iPad as an electronic flight bag is a brilliant use case.
I would use my tablet for reading and a secondary device for school and work.
You don't realise how important a tablet is to a med resident's workflow
I can't imagine studying without a tablet
what bs. just learn the material
I'm a highschool student in italy and I've been having the OnePlus pad 1 for the past two years. It saved me, honestly. I can take notes and read school books of all subjects just with one 500 grams device. I don't have to worry about forgetting books or having to suffer carrying all of that stuff in the backpack. I think that tablets are mostly used by students that want to write down notes and still having some of the benefits of a PC and a smartphone.
I have one too. Love mine.
About to comment but first comment already echoed my thoughts lol. Tablet is the perfect tool for studying indeed. Also, help with keeping me awake or alert as a part-time student having to attend classes after work. I can also scribble stuff and easily remove them afterwards. Also, these tablets can be easily purchased off 2nd hand and they are still in very good condition.
What do you use for note-taking? The OnePlus stylus and what app? I'm an android guy but I'm not sure how note-taking holds up to the iPad apps
@droningandgoing9286I have a OnePlus Pad myself, the best app in my opinion is notewise. You get all the features which goodnotes has as well, for a one time fee.
Same question@droningandgoing9286
5:13 that’s crazy.
Yeah fr. 699 for something I don't need or want. Good deal
I just need a tablet for taking notes and school stuf, because taking notes on the papier is kinda messy
Web dev here. I bought my Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra primarily as a portable second monitor for its great screen, plus you're getting all the goods the tablet can get you. I was surprised how nice it is doing code review from my bed, google meetings, and browsing web.
Plus, once you start using maps on the tablet, it's a game changer. I can't imagine planning my cycling joyrneys any other way
Are you using it will MacBook? What software do you use to set it as a second screen?
Fellow full stack dev here. I wish for a portable second monitor man. But windows desktops are doing good enough for now.
@O4bit_ since you're on a windows desktop, look up Super Display
@dongronki It will advertise itself on the network as a wireless display. Windows supports wireless displays. It is as simple as putting the tablet in the right mode and a windows key shortcut.
I'm a med student. I use my Mi pad 6 for study purpose and taking notes. It's really convenient and most of my colleagues use tablet too
Same here with the iPad Air M1, also all my colleagues use an iPad/ tablet
That’s it, for every laptop user in medschool there is 5 tablet users. You’re not suffer spending 6hrs/day studying on a laptop, a laptop on the other hand is way more comfortable.
@MubarakAl3lialso the pencil, many use
"Study purpose." Translation: typing into Chatgpt and reading the answers. Don't worry nothing wrong with googling or chatgpting even in active practice of medicine. Which I assure you is routinely done.
Is tablet better than laptop
As someone who works on ships, bringing my laptop to ship isn't very convenient and upon that, add all the immigration checks at airports, seaports and what not. So, a tablet really comes handy while travelling, watching movies onboard lying in bed, and reading/editing PDFs of line diagrams and machine drawings.
Laying in bed is the ultimate tablet use case!
My brother is also a marine engineer, and he takes a laptop with him, but he always says how inconvenient it is. I will recommend him the iPad. Thanks for sharing
@LiquidSwords007 dont recommend the ipad have him do some research to insure he finds the right tablet. my galaxy tab s8 ultra tablet has a 14.6 inch screen and android is vastly superior to apple when it comes to a computer like experience. i have an iphone and apple is very limiting inconfiguration and overall usability
@LiquidSwords007I am a marine engineer myself and i can totally understand his complaints regarding carrying a laptop to ship. In my personal preference, the 11 inch one is just the perfect size for most of the use cases. Although, i was very inclined towards the iPad mini at the beginning, but the 11 inch one is just perfect.
You still need to take it out at the airport...
I’m using it to replace my old laptop, now with MacBook Neo is out. I don’t know what my tablet can do
Tablets for piano players are an absolute must ! Not only do they give you a screen size comparable to a piece of paper, but many apps for sight reading music can "flip the page" for you. Having also the ability to draw on them and writing notes for any piano player is super important. Being able to add dynamic markers, highlight arpeggios, write down key changes, and transpose notes all make having a tablet super clutch.
Same for me as a drummer. I have my sheet music and metronome in the same location. I can change my in ear mix in the same place. I am never going to go back to paper
Yep, it’s all about forScore. That’s my #1 use for my iPad. I bought a used pro for it and a 3rd party stylus and it’s been perfect, no need for latest and greatest chip, just the larger screen. I would actually consider an android tablet to save money next time i upgrade, but it’s always just easier to stay in the same ecosystem.
I'm a multi-instrumentalist (Tuba, Bass, Voice, etc.) and my iPad is invaluable for what I do. My forScore app is my most used app on my iPad.
piano player here too. I still use paper for sheet music, because I want an eInk tablet (A4 size), but that doesn't really exist (it does, but at horrendous prices)
+1 to this. My kids plug the android tablet into the piano to learn piano. Since there isn't enough space for a laptop and the phone is too small, the tablet plays an important role there for us as well.
1. Reading documents and manuals.
2. Editing photos in lightroom.
3. Light video editing.
4. Better for reading and watching manga.
5. Watching movies on the go.
6. Jotting down quick ideas with the stylus.
I use the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, and its still butter smooth.
What software do you use for video editing?
@bjorn-falkoandreas9472 Starting today, as it happens, the EU requires 5 years of updates for phones and tablets. 10 years was never an option. So, your wish has already been realized, without thicker devices and whether the corners are rounded or not.
Besides that, I still have a working tablet from 2018 and use it regularly.
I never knew people cared so much about the couple of pixels lost. I actually like the rounded corners.@bjorn-falkoandreas9472
@bjorn-falkoandreas9472 lmao the rounded corners cut off such a small part of the screen you don’t even notice it. They cut off nothing important
@bjorn-falkoandreas9472 corners on an ipad are even more rounded than on the tab s8. And neither of them are too bad... so I don't really see your point. While I hate rounded screens and prefer right angles it's such a tiny difference especially on a giant tablet
Yo what is that port placement at 3:32 😂
Once you see it, you can never unsee it
@UltimateTrollDetainmentUTTP Um, what?🤣🤣
I think it's because the screen module needs space. The thinness of the tablet caused it to be off-center
This annoyed me more than I expected
@mkbhd Bruh you could have mentioned about that ips display, lol
waching youtube netflex writting while studing
In Germany, everybody in my school uses a tablet or an ipad for taking notes during class. That, plus having a bigger screen that's portable sells it for everyone.
The fact that you split tablets and iPads as two different things makes me respect Apple's marketing team brainwashing skills even more.
i feel like everyone in my uni except me uses a tablet for taking notes lmao
-Android users buy a tablet because they *need* it.
-Apple users buy a tablet because they have apple logo at their back.
ipads are actually reasonably priced compared to samsung tablets (at least in my country). The iPhones are out of whack tho.
In the University where I teach, basically every students takes note with a keyboard, I have hardly ever seen one taking notes with a stylus, but I guess that may be different based on the faculty...
1:13 Instagram and Snapchat still not optimised😢😢😢
Snap is not even optimized for iPhone 😂 The picture quality is so bad compared to instagram direct messages.
@fjt99I suffer till this day since I got iPad Pro M1 back then
That's baaad
Insta is optimised now
No offense but who the hell even uses snapchat on a ipad
9:15 As a private pilot, I use my iPad (10th gen, base model) for ForeFlight (plane charts app)
I believe that 80% of pilots across the world use an iPad😅
Because ForeFlight is iOS only and Garmin Pilot on Android sucks balls.
Get a folding phone much more useful, I recommend the Honor V3, V5 to launch in September.
Me too
Pilot here. The iPad with ForeFlight is irreplaceable for me. Recently went from the 6th gen mini to the M3 iPad Air.
9:02 Im gonna use it for road trips, normal use, youtube, bit of gaming, channel recordings, and other things like planespotting or train spotting
I‘m a Student. I use my iPad with pen for taking notes directly on the lecture slides and generally everything I would do with a pen. For everything else, I use my phone or laptop
Get Fireflies or something, an ai transcriber for your lecture slides.
exatly same for me too, amd it blends very well with my m1 mac and iphone, and I belive ipad 10th is the best usecase ipad, others are just overkill for most
.... and for everything else, there's Mastercard
(sorry, I couldn't resist, just the way I read it)
I used to do the same thing on my surface pro, but it was and older 8gb/128 i got on a deal and eventually needed replacing. I used the stylus to keep doing that same thing on my 2-in-1 windows laptop when i felt like pen transcribing my notes, but sometimes I would rather just type them.
I'd rather put in the bare minimum of effort lmao @TechRexFC
6:53 Schools:
This would go so hard in a school setting. Talk about budget savings vs Chromebook’s
@Mc_muffintop taking notes in uni
School use chromebook
this kind of tablets are useful for musicians too, to read the sheets mainly
Oh I love my tablet for:
- Taking notes
- Reading manga/comics
- Watching media
- Play coop local games w/ friends
- Use it as secondary monitor in my work office (SuperDisplay is GOD)
- Use it as monitor for my camera (Monitor+ GOD)
- Edit my photos in lightroom
- Macro controls for recording my music
- My smart tv was kinda slow so I used to connect it via HDMI and SamsungDex helped a lot
- Watching tutorials or midi learning piano songs
- It saved me in a pinch for my work (Using web-based apps like Figma or google docs)
Heck yeah, a tablet power user 🫡🫡
Currently wanting a tablet for reading and taking notes through college, but not sure that a 13" tablet is small enough to be reasonable lol.
This. Except super display. Still looking for a good Linux alternative
You pretty much proved his point. Very niche
@prn-ice Depending on your Window Manger, you can try creating a virtual display and using Sunshine to stream the virtual display to Moonlight running on the tablet. In case your Window Manager doesn't support virtual displays, you can buy a dummy DisplayPort/HDMI/VGA plug to make the PC think there's another display connected, and use that to do the streaming.
Manga/comics are SO much better on tablet
Gaming and streaming but i dont have a tab
So for me, I play many music instruments, and having a tablet to reach sheet music and chords is just amazing. It is just the middle ground I need between a phone and a laptop, like you said. On one hand it's a big screen that is easy to read from, it is dynamic (unlike sheet music I print), but unlike a laptop with a big screen, I can actually put it on the piano or a sheet music stand
1 up
same for me, I sing in a choir, iPad is super useful for scores (app most musicians use: ForScore) - laptop or iPhone is no option there. I will consider this tablet for my next purchase. But Niche, definitely.
This! Everyone in music school uses iPads, you can’t put a laptop on a music stand!
I personally use my android tablet for purely media consumption. I stick it in a holder and binge watch content, and also do rare video calls.
But it does come in handy when I attend an interview and I don't have my laptop with me.
As an engineering student, I have used my Samsung Galaxy tab S9+ for almost 2 years now. And I use it for a minimum of 6 hours almost every day for note taking, writing documents and spreadsheets, research, and light code writing.
In my free time I use it for watching movies, running some more basic music software for recording, and playing some games.
I have a gaming laptop as well to run the big programs for school, but my tablet is so much lighter and more portable. My tablet basically goes with me everywhere I go, and my laptop stays at home. Worth every penny almost 2 years later so far!
Do you use a keyboard with it for coding?
Same here actually but still on the S7+. It's by far the most practical device for me for university
@droningandgoing9286oh yes for sure. The magnetic keyboard attachment is a huge factor for why I use it so much
What app do you use for light coding on your tablet?
@Katisit0I use vscode for java programming and the Matlab app as well. Both are slightly more limited versions of the pc versions but they are good enough for me for when I'm either in a cs lecture or working on a project and editing code. If you do lots of coding, I'd recommend using an actual pc though!
I want to replace my laptop with a lightweight yet powerful tablet for easier travel.
Med student here,
I've had my iPad Pro for almost 5 years now, and can confidently say it has been the best thing I have used for university. Having the ability to write all my notes, whilst being able to type when needed (with the keyboard case), is such a game changer. Not to mention all of the books I now no longer have to carry, and can freely annotate these on their PDF versions...
What are your favorite apps to use for your use case?
@alextrainor2552also interested, (looking for note taking apps)
As a fellow student, I came here to say exactly this. A tablet is far more convenient than a laptop for university.
law student here - same.
Also med student here,
MKBHD doesn't read comments. He's not the guy you should be watching if you want a decent review of tech in general. In fact I would argue that people who spends the most time on tablets like the ipad are users that use it for studying/work.
He could have looked at the most popular apps on the app store before coming to the conclusion that a 1000$ ipad is used for "tipping". Tech guy my ahh doesn't even know how to open up app store to look for the most popular apps. He also doesn't even know what the purpose of an open back headphone is for. Some of the benchmarks he gave in his reviews are completely wrong (and as the tech guy he claims to be he should have known they were wrong and it's a bug) and are only done when it favors samsung/apple. He "interviews" Tim cook and apple employees but his video is more of a promotion and he does 0 interviewing. He also couldn't even tell the difference between a low quality amoled screen device vs a high quality one where he claimed to have used that said device for 2 weeks. He took 3 minutes to review an apple headband strap on the AVP M5 where apple already offered one with the M1 AVP and other 3rd party already offers it, without even comparing them. He also never does a single battery drain test and have been saying in his low quality videos that "it lasts a whole day" since 2020.
He also speeds frequently, who knows one day you might be lucky enough at the ER to find one of the victims being a kid he drove over. Good luck to you though in your studies. We are actually in the same year apparently.
I'm a football ⚽ coach and I bought an Android umidigi active tablet for its waterproof and shockproof and long battery life to use it to make team lineups, drill animations and images, strategies and tactics during the games, showing videos and clips to the players and assistant coaches on field, it's always attached to my hand with a band and it's so useful.
what app
When laying down in bed, a laptop is too clunky and uncomfortable while my phone is too small and I don't want to hold it up and close to my face all the time. So I love my tablet.
If you have a phone that have Alt DP, why don't you use something like Xreal glasses where you can just plug in the glasses and view content through the glasses?
Same here! I got my tablet for free and it can barely run RUclips, but I still love that piece of crap
Yup
same
Cause a tablet bewts clunky glasses
id probably use a tablet to replace a laptop if if i need to go somewhere and want a bigger screen, because now that i have a pretty powerful pc i dont need a laptop anymore and sometimes the phone screen is too small to watch youtube or netflix or whatever else u watch
As a nurse, my 11 inch iPad is essential to my workflow. It allows me to carry to carry a tiny computer with me that has most capabilities of a laptop while also having a touchscreen. It is perfect for pulling up patient files or writing reports.
may i know which healthcare system you are using
That’s the workflow I’m targeting with ONITO medical records storage
Smartphone is easier to carry around and type on
Try an Asus rog flow and you may never go back
Architect here and the iPad is such a game changer. It’s my sketchbook, moodboard, client presentation screen on the go, 3D viewer, Quick Video editor (Final Cut), Site Instruction notes (Take photo sketch over corrections)
The amount of work one can get done on the go or at a site is just insane
which ipad do you use?
Ditto iPad is completely integrated in our workflow. Architect here also.
Our office is completely paperless; markups (redlines) are all done on morpholio trace, Goodnotes for taking meeting notes or redlines or doing site inspections. We use OneDrive to link to our mainly pdfs, and do the bulk of drawing on the pc.
What app do you use to sketch over photos?
@piseff2023 morpholio trace!!
@piseff2023 Hey I use procreate. It has this cool feature that allows you to Timelapse the sketches
As an academician iPad with Apple Pencil is a game changer. To review documents and student submissions with band written notes, to take notes on the literature review with hand written notes that you can search and reference. Using it increased my productivity immensly. Goodnotes, notability or other note taking apps are a must for this.
What if one just buys like a foldable laptop that basically just gives you what a tablet does its just a bit more bulky?
Student/actor/musician - I got a Galaxy Tab S4 when I started college again, and it was an absolute game changer. It helped that I was also using it for any music gigs for my sheet music and also using it as my digital script where I could write down blocking and notes without having to lug a binder or a script in a spiral binding during rehearsals.
That being said, I've had it since release (7 years) and as much as I would love to get a new tab S9 or even the ultra, this tablet does everything I needed to without being too that I can't use it.
So in part you're correct that I won't be buying a new one anytime soon.
Buy USA products. An iPad is an American designed product. Someday, you may want a USA based job. MAGA.
@douglashaskins what in the world does that have to do with anything, weirdo
@fredward9372Buy USA designed, instead of Asian designed.
2:37 I want to see the “incredible bird drawings”.
- As a researcher, I use the tablet + stylus to take notes during meetings (less rude than phones or computers) and to brainstorm ideas with math equations.
- I use it on online meetings when I want to draw something as my high-end workstation doesn't have a touch screen.
- I also use it to read papers and take note on the papers. Also useful to grade students' work.
- I also use it to watch RUclips or Netflix in the bed before going to sleep, in the living room while my wife does something else, or while taking trains (I live on a country where commuting by train is common).
- I also like to bring it with me for short trips that I won't need a full laptop. It also helps me on planes
- I also use it as android auto in my old car
- I sometimes use the PS Remote Play on it as well if I want to be in the living room with my wife while she watches TV.
- I use it as a second screen to my computer when I'm not home or in the office.
- Finally, I use it to read books and as a casual reader, buying a dedicated device wouldn't make sense.
TL;DR: I use my android tablet every other day for different little tasks
Do you mind sharing what kind of mount did you use for mounting the tablet in a car? I have an old Volvo C30 and would love to do this.
Which tab yours?
I want one so I can watch videos on what tablet I should get and still answer people on WhatsApp since they wanna interrupt me so much
As a future music student, I would use it for:
-Music Sheet
-Editing on the go
-Presentations
-Second Monitor
-Music production/composition outside dormitory
-Additional Storage
-Canva at School
-PPT
-Docs
-School Works
-Online Meetings outside school/dorm
-Digital Audio Workstation on the go
Back in HS a bunch of people had Bluetooth foot pedals that could move the sheet music to the next page. Super useful when songs had more than 3 pages
I would get a 14.6 screen for sheet music
What daw do you use for an tablet? Id love to know
@jacobander if there's a DaW like fl studio that's available on a tablet then sure I'd use that, but if it's just on the fly then bandlab for sure, it's reliable and I can just transcribe it to a laptop once I get home or something
@MommyKhaos If a band has a click track and additional tracks those pages can turn for you without the need of pedals.
Who else is watching this on the iPad 😂😂😂
100% lol
Lol😊
😢😢
I am 😅
🌝
I'm a flight attendant and I have an iPad Air (M3). It's perfect for traveling with and it comes in very handy on long multi-day trips. I can watch movies, shows, TV, etc. on it at hotels and it's very useful if I need to fill out reports for my work trips.
Have you seen the new honor magic pad 4???
I work as a live sound engineer and nowadays we connect tablets to mixing desks directly so we can control sound wirelessly and a tablet is the only way to do this, almost every mixing desk brand has this feature and it's fairly common to be at a show and to see a phone for texting a laptop doing Spotify or RF coordination and a tablet wirelessly controlling sound
I just graduated from university in the Philippines and tablets and ipads are actually kind of an unspoken necessity for students here. It's such a common item that we could leave it as placeholders for seats and no one would steal any of em because everybody has one already. Due to the extreme heat and weather conditions here, traveling to classes are a big hassle especially if someone's going through public transportation so we usually try to bring as little stuff as possible. Hence, for many of us, tablets are the best choice as laptops are usually heavy/too big and notebooks and books are far too heavy and bulky. Tablets solve that issue. Tons of storage means we can just have the soft copy of the materials we need and also still be able to handwrite everything on the materials themselves or on separate notetaking apps. For those of us with breaks between classes, gaming or watching netflix is possible since the battery of tablets are big enough to still have power leftover after hours of mixed use. Plus, for math and numbers-heavy degrees, it's a good lightweight digital pad paper so we don't have to waste as much paper (I used to go through so many packs of paper for equations before I got my tablet). It's basically the more portable laptop.
Found the lasalle burgis
GIRL I WISH, my uni wasn't even near the metro manila area😭. I hate the real burgis too, but y'all gotta chill out with calling everyone burgis. My family's lower middle class at best😔.
That is a really good practical demonstration of the realities of your life. I enjoyed reading your story. You should graduate with honours.
ano pong tablet would you recommend po?
I have a Surface tablet. While I have a standard PC and phone and a Surface is technically still Windows, it has been really nice to have around. It is much easier to read and use for following recipes, it is more comfortable to read from in bed at night, it is smaller and lighter to carry around compared to a laptop when a computer is needed for various things. While it is definitely not used everyday, I do love having something that falls in the middle that I can grab and get halfway to computer if my phone isn't enough and vice-versa.
Which Surface do you use? I just recently upgraded from my Surface Go 3 to a Surface 12-inch. Despite running a Snapdragon chip, apps that need to be emulated run surprisingly well. Though most of the time I just use it for watching videos and web browsing but I get to use full desktop Firefox with all my extensions.
I ditched my Surface Pro 4 because of horrible standby time. 2-3 days and it would discarch so low that I had to do this dance of powering it up with the charger, letting it shut off by itself once it booted up and figured out the battery was too low.once it had about a percentage point of charg, I could boot it up and have it stay on. Another thing is the niggly gimick of a power connector. Somehow sand got on it one time and stuck to it because much of sand has ferrous content. It took me awhile to figure out why it wasn't seating/connecting correctly. I pickup up a Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ and haven't looked back since. @ej_tech
Oh dear. I had pro 3 and pro 4 in the past. Never again. My condolences.
Reading books and drawing in procreate!
The only thing my iPad 2018 running for me is RUclips in the evening when I want to lay down and chill with a bigger screen after work
yeah but is it not laggy af? mine is ...
Former reporter and current camera sales guy here. My iPad has become my default laptop replacement for nearly everything I do outside my apartment. When I was a reporter it + the keyboard were indispensable for obvious reasons: light, super portable yet powerful, etc. At work now I use it to edit photos and videos (Lightroom mobile and Final Cut Pro for iPad) and look things up for customers. I'll usually write a bit or watch RUclips on my breaks, but with all that use it still lasts me the entire day until I come home and use my MacBook, which is docked to a 27" monitor. The only times I leave my iPad at home and bring my MacBook with me are when I'm out doing astrophotography because my MacBook has one specific piece of software that my iPad can't use called StarryLandscapeStacker. That's literally it.
As a medical student from India, I use it for watching lectures, making notes and reading PDFs. In my university, more than 85 percent of people have tablets, and we have more than 1500 people here. Also, this is true for all the medical colleges throughout this country, and we have over 700 Med schools in our country. Another reason why students buy these tablets, might be because phones are just too distracting. We open our phones usually for playing games, or texting... So it's nice to have a device that is solely for the purpose of studies and/or long form content.

I'd like to use a 2 in 1 for studies.., as a strictly study device
Same
explained it pretty well.
Why do you have to mention india
I'm going to climb Mount Sinai, so I need something to wrote on.
8:55 The superpower is not using it..
Exactly
More like being able to use it whenever you want wo caring about it. Just another apple glazer annoyed ab their device but still brainwashed
😂
Its nice being able to pick up Ur device knowing it hasn't dropped by like 10% overnight
This video should be called "The tablet problem" not "The android tablet problem" because this literally applies to every tablet
It’s the “android tablet problem” due to the fact that Apple has given the iPad new uses, allowing it to escape the bubble it’s in
Maybe but there are like dozens of options in the Android market, that makes the problem bigger
To some degree, but it's still largely an "Android Tablet Problem" Apple has the best cross platform ecosystem bar none. The only android manufacturer that comes close is Samsung, but even that isn't as good as Apple's. I don't like Apple products personally, but I will admit that their ecosystem is next level compared to Android.
@spoopy_spaghetti2407 coloca IA na mesa e apple hoje faz o que a samsung já está fazendo a uns 2 a 3 anos. A apple não escapou da bolha, só fez o mínimo, como sempre.
Or even "The £700 Android Tablet Problem" cheaper tablets will probably do 90% what this one will do for around half the price.
Remodel construction manager here. Samsung tablet with a big bumper case has become very useful for me. Remote into server, bring up specs, look at it together with sub on easy to read screen.
Make drawings (especially taking a picture of the existing condition and draw on top of it to create a plan), sign documents, take notes.
I am looking for a tablet that is pen compatible for note taking in meetings and writing. Don't need a ton of bells and whistles, just easy to use. Any suggestions?
I’m an amateur photographer and I exclusively use my iPad Pro with Lightroom to edit and manage my pictures. I find it to be the absolute best solution for that thanks to the Pencil and the portability. I can easily take my iPad with me and comfortably edit pictures in a coffee shop. The whole experience is so much nicer than on a computer.
While I think your experience is valid, may I ask what's stopping you from using a Surface Pro instead?
I'm just really curious, because my Surface Pro 11 can do seemingly everything that an iPad Pro can do, but runs a full blown desktop OS (Windows 11) and can therefore do many PC-exclusive things - like coding, running desktop versions of apps like Photoshop, and accessing in depth file management systems.
@jasongao2736 I know you didn’t ask me but, have you ever full time used an iPad? I think the experience, for some people, is just too darn good.
I don’t care enough about full apps, coding and in depth file management to use Windows more than I need to. And for people that do more serious work, not even pro’s but more than amateurs, they’ll probably own a good laptop or desktop anyway. Tablets are just nice on the road, and for a lot of us the iPad experience is just smooth.
Still many flaws of course, don’t get me wrong it’s far from perfect.
@jasongao2736 I'm not Thomas, but I can give you my reasons. I also use my iPad to edit photos in Lightroom while in the way, when I don't want to take my macbook with me. The workflow of loading the photos into lightroom and editing them is seamless, easier than in Desktop since you don't need to have window management, the screen on the iPad is better. Contrast ratio is 2M:1 compared with 1M:1 on the surface. Peak brightness is 1600nits vs 900nits, also the iPad has DCI-P3 wide color vs sRGB. I know iPad is not the best option for lots of things, but I think this is one of the best case scenarios for it. Long lasting battery, huge raw performance (important when exporting), very solid system and apps and, one of the best (if not the best) screens on the tablet market. Plus, if you have other Apple devices, you can enjoy the entire ecosystem connected. Also, the difference in price between them is only $100, you won't save a lot of money neither.
@jasongao2736 I'm not the originator of the comment you replied to, but although the Surface Pro 11 can indeed do all that you say it can, It's still a fairly large and heavy device (which is why MS just came out with a 12 inch version). But if you really don't NEED a full blown desktop for your use case then it doesn't matter.
Me too. Using mainly to edit photos. My iPad Pro screen are incredible. Soon I’d like to try edit video using Resolve.
mostly studying, writing stuff during lectures, also amazing for anything math related, because "writing" math without handwriting is slow and painful. Tablet is light and easy to transport, yet big enough so i don't have to squint when i open book-like pdfs
Taking notes on iPads for college is amazing for engineering students
Zoom calls & Connecting to a projector for presentations.
I have a Tab S9+ that I cracked, but the screen is so bright, I don't ever see the cracks when it's on. My favorite thing though, is that the speakers are incredible quality, which is why one of my main uses is to watch content while in my kitchen on it. But the tablet is also my default carry tool when I meet video clients or have meetings where I want to have documents accessible, readable and give me the ability to share them. If there were a way I could edit high resolution 10 bit or raw videos on it with little to no lag, I would get rid of my laptop for this thing, but maybe one day we'll get that for android!
I have the same tablet and it took me a few months to realize there were scratches in the screen. I love the S9+, it's definetly worth buying!
For me personally, I like to use it for school because of the pen. Whenever I do stuff in the garage, garden or kitchen it's big screen makes it easier to watch something well doing something else but it don't require that amount of space like a Laptop. When I do stuff a handy screen is too small to concentrate on to things at the same time.
I have a Galaxy Tab S9+, and I use it for a few things:
- Movies and RUclips
- Store and view my sheet music(I'm a saxophonist)
- Play all but one of my mobile games
- Take notes for school
- View and edit Google docs
- Read books and articles
A lot of people will probably echo a lot of what I mentioned, but I love my tablet and find myself using it quite a bit. I feel like tablets aren't designed to be used all the time, every day. They just make things that would be easier to do on a bigger screen more portable than a laptop and similar enough to the ui of phones that it's easy to pick up and know how to quickly navigate to your tasks.
consoom tablet, look forward to next tablet
nah, I use my tablet every day for like 10 hours, the samsung keyboad makes the experience the same as of a pc, in a way more portable body
I'm watching this video on the same tablet while I eat 😅
It's great for Yuzu too!
What app do you use for sheet music? I've been looking
I want working for my tablet, but have problems
Currently busy with my PhD and a tablet/iPad would be such a game changer. The amount of readings - articles, journals, dissertations etc. can be really overwhelming. Having my Mac on one side and another monitor on the other is all good but having an iPad really just makes things easier to navigate and to focus. It’s so much easier to have a dedicated device for readings and note taking while using the other two devices for typing, online research, watching videos. The iPad would also help when everything else is packed away and I can just focus on the readings and making notes instead of having a bulky device on my lap or having to connect said bulky device to a monitor. It’s the small things that make a massive difference. It’s almost like “you don’t know what you’re missing until you have it” type of a feeling.
pro tip a 100 dollar chinese tablet can do that easily, Ipad is overkill for 99% of cases its been used .. it is nothing but a flex > "I am rich"
@bandita2068 I've used plenty of androids in my life and honestly I'm just so tired of that rhetoric, It's probably more powerful than what most people need it for but can we normalize putting some good money into something and have it last years. I've bought a $100 Chinese tablet before trust me it was ggarbage. I don't know what country you live in but if you live in a country where you make enough money to buy yourself an ipad I'm gonna safely assume that it's probably not a flex at all to buy an ipad, I live in the US and honestly you can buy an iPhone and you can buy yourself an ipad and no one gives a s*** same way no one cares if you use android.
I love my ReMarkable tablet. It only does two things (reading and writing), and it is expensive relative to that narrow functionality, but it is fantastic. Lightweight, e-ink screen that doesn't strain the eye, and distraction-proof.
@bandita2068I think maybe it’s because I gradually got items from Apple that I would prefer the iPad. I only got my first iPhone in 2023, then my first Mac… fitting the iPad in the ecosystem would be great. But it is generally, quite expensive.
@123forman sounds great! I would love to get one just to make reading and note taking much more convenient. It would work like a charm.
I'm a physician. An iPad mini fits in my white coat. In between patients I can review my patient's charts, look up recommendations, and take notes. It's a game changer.
It's worth noting that in professional settings, simply looking those same things up on your phone can be seen as unprofessional (as in "oh he's on his phone"). Having a tablet that I'm navigating with a pencil gives an intentionality to my actions, which challenge those assumptions.
It's a great product for those in a professional public space who need to be productive as they move around a lot (Such as walking through the halls of the hospital or navigating in between rooms regularly).
Edit: Got some comments on my grammar/slang/spelling. Thanks for catching those! I texted this quickly on my break because I love tech just as much as medicine. Contributing to the conversation was both important and exciting to me. Stay healthy!
That's got a bit of a Star Trek vibe to it. I can picture Dr. Crusher tapping on her tablet as she consults with her patient.
I don't know what tablets they use in hospital in the UK. They run software that connects to the server and patient records and the labs. When at their desk they are nearly all Dells and certainly all Windows PCs. The tablet only needs a decent browser to act as an interface to the back end systems.
Never thought about it, but you're so right. It would be really weird, if my doctor suddenly pulls out his phone and agressively starts typing, but bring a tablet into the equation and its suddenly completly fine.
Literally how I used my iPad Air during my internship
Still sounds niche to me :)
Radiologist here. iPad Pro for my radiology atlas. The touch interface is perfect for quick reference. Then all the articles in on place on the go is hugely beneficial. Almost single use but a Mac will never replace this - for me
What is the need of Pro.... It can be easily done on any 500 - 600$ tablet... Or I can say in many case better if it's a android flagship.... For 99% of users its waste of Resource... Both natural and ₹$£.... Better donate some to one who needs them more than crApple at least that amount can give them months of food or years of clothes...Can difference 💸 change the life of a family.
Because a Mac will never get a touchscreen. If it would, it would probably kill the ipad.
@Papa.GPro is for the Music producer alter ego in me. I use Logic Pro for music production on Mac and iPad.
