It's been awhile since my last iPad vs MacBook video... and these 2 devices gave me a good excuse to give it another go. Why? Similar pricing and they're both meant to be profoundly portable.

Want: iPad. Need: Mac. Heart says iPad. Brain says Mac…
I got rid of my Mac and MacBook and got a keyboard for my tablet and I’ve used it so much more than the other two. Really just depends on your needs tbh but I will never go back
Get mac, then get cheap ipad
About to pick up my iPad today. MacBook just not as practical as I want.
for me its need ipad want mac
probably go with the 13" iPad then, that larger screen and then larger keyboard is so nice
Great words Chris “don’t talk about specs that all can be googled” I want practical usage, that’s reading the owners manual instead of just driving the car
I don’t think that was the quote.
Yeah the benchmarks mean nothing to me really as an average laptop user. I just wanna know how it performs on a practical level.
Yours is really the best channel for iPad users out there. The comparisons are realistic. And the softwares and usability scenarios you bring (often noob) viewers is refreshing, and sometimes groundbreaking.
I love your style. Specs are important yes, but practicality and usability are more important for me. For this specific review iPad vs MacBook Air, I wanted to evaluate the best alternative to a true desktop. I have a Mac studio for powerhouse work so I was looking for a simple device to surf, watch vids, and do lite personal docs and spreadsheets. Specs for this purpose aren’t really helpful. So, for me, I will go with the MacBook Air! Thanks so much for your very helpful review
I would like to say, it‘s crazy how 95% of the benefits of the Mac come purely from the Software, which the iPad Pro with it‘s M1 Chip and the Magic Keyboard could also run without a problem if Apple just gave us the option to boot into either iPad OS or MacOS each time we restart the machine. Also, while the Mac does some of the things both can do better, I think the iPad has more things only it can do, because of the Apple Pencil and Touch (and also maybe for some users the LiDar sensor). So overall, from a mere Hardware perspective, I think the iPad is clearly the more versatile device, so it just comes down to Apple not being willing to use it‘s full potential software wise (probably to keep the lower end MacBooks relevant).
John, Listening to other videos, Apple does not and never will want to make the IPADS as powerful as their main computers. Apple is greedy and wants us to buy (spend ungodly amount of money) both because of keeping unique features isolated from each other. If they put full computer features on the IPAD, why would one want to buy the MacBook.
I am a dedicate PC user and there are no limitations between a laptop or a desktop far as functionality.
Agreed
Great video Chris. I had a work-issues 2nd gen iPad Pro for a year, and could almost have that as my only device. I can see how the current iPad Pro with keyboard and pencil can be a users only device. I’d give the MacBook the edge if I could only have one device.

Between the two which should I get the iPad Pro 12.9” or the MacBook Air m2. I mainly watch video on my devices
@@Johnmims65 iPad Pro
Like you explained, I actually think this is a perfect comparison. This is actually the exact buying decision my GF was making for school. when the functionality of a laptop that you would need doesn't exceed that of a chromebook, the Ipad pro more than gets the job done, but now she got the added benefits of the apple pencil. but for some one like me who video edits and needs access to programs that do not exist on the ipad, the choice is obvious. She got The Ipad pro and loves it. On the other hand, I actually opted for an m1 pro macbook and an Ipad 9 as a combo because I needed more out of my laptop than even the macbook air provides and I still want a small portion of my budget to get apple pencil benefits. Great review and very relatable perspective as always!
Personally, I’ve enjoyed the iPad so much more than my old MacBook. It just feels like it does more of what I want and a more versatile device. And the apps are just great.
Ill have to disagree. But I guess if you dont really use RAM hogging apps, Ipad should be fine
Same I sold my air to get an iPad and would do it again a million times.
I agree. I have both and been using the ipad pro more often. My favorite device I ever owned.
Are you guys using the 12.9 or 11 inch iPad Pro?
@@alexvswrld 12.9. I used to have the 11 and swore I’d never get the bigger one, but the 12.9 is just so much more usable. I even use it as a tablet no problem
great content!! love how you show the basic things on how people use both devices.
Signed up for your newsletter. Keep up the great vids! Using my Ipad so much more since I have been watching your youtube video’s! Thnx
Thanks for the balanced views. I ditched my Mac and went over to iPad a year ago. I run my life with and iPad Pro and an iPad mini 6. I’m not a power user but do edit a few videos from time to time. Using and iPhone and an an Apple Watch too. Sorted.
I own the 11” M1 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard/Apple Pencil combo , as well as the 14” MB Pro, and I use the iPad 75% of the time. The iPad is way more versatile and goes with me everywhere. The MB Pro is definitely overkill for my needs, but as a tech enthusiast, I couldn’t settle for less. Don’t sleep on the iPad, it is by far the best tech purchase I’ve made in a long time aside from my LG CX.
Flex but meta
I got the same iPad as you, but without the keyboard. I love every piece of it, but it really isn’t satisfying my creative urges. Except for drawing which has been an amazing experience, video editing, 3D sculpting, photo editing, music creation, etc has been limiting. I’m considering waiting on m2 14”. Then I would have my iPad for drawing and entertainment, and my laptop for more heavy stuff.
funny, I have exact combo as you (M1 ipad pro 11" + 14" M1pro MBP) and I use my macbook way more than ipad, but I am mostly a daytrader and I need the keyboard shortcuts so maybe that's why
Consoooomer
@@NikhilSingh-007 correct.
I use my iPad Pro with the desktop photoshop/Lightroom classic all the time with the minoring option (wired connected if I am beside my Mac or wireless if I am in bed with minimum lag). It’s soo much better than using the Wacom tablet especially now that e we can see our pen size even before drawing on it. I also love using it as a second screen when I need to use it for a video conference app while leaving my main screen for work. Best of all once I am done I can put it away and leaving my desk clean cluster free with a minimalist look.
Thanks. Great video! I have a few minor gripes about the ‘feel’ of the MacBook Air in comparison with the iPad. But I think I’ll make up my mind in a few days
I just love my 11” IPad Pro with Logitech Combo Touch and Apple Pencil so much… I have a Mac Mini as my desktop but I seldom use it… i run my whole life on the iPad. It’s perfect.
I think of getting a max air
Do you think the ipad pro with keyboard is what i need considering that i mainly use a computer for word processing (ms word) , browsing, media consumption) ?
I love my Ipad Pro, it does every "laptop function" I need it to do, plus it has a netflix app allowing you to download your movies/shows
I have both as well and love typing on both. If I had to choose one keyboard though the iPad’s magic keyboard feels the best to type on. I keep going back to it when I need to write up a long email.
Productivity course!!! Yes please!
The M2 Air Midnight color is outstanding. Looks great in your video(who cares about the smudges)
Great job stressing the fact that the Air is for the casual user. Keep up the great work 👏🏽
Thank you for the helpful comparison between the iPad Pro & MacBook Air.
Idk if I agree with your target market analysis. Even in video editing the M2 air and M2 pro 13 turn out similar numbers and cost the same. Maybe Apple wasn't confident enough to formally do it this go round, but the Air is the entry level pro model now, and they've priced it accordingly.
I have a 14" Mac Book Pro 2022 M1 Max and the iPad Pro M1 and i love using both of them i usually carry my computer around and use it but at home I will use my iPad to jot down notes and other writing stuff. I love having both
Omg finally someone said it .. Excel on the iPad is just so confusing .. its like learning a whole new app from scratch altogether... I use my iPad as my primary device for video editing, creating artwork, typing our proposals..but the thing that frustrates me is the ms office experience .. well that's a tradeoff I just have to make... I'm just going to wait for the m2 iPad pro to be released.. hope its worth the wait and upgrade.. i'm on the 2018 ipadpro 11'' for now..
IDK I'm on my 2018 iPad Pro and it's a beast for power UNTIL I decide to use Procreate all day long. It's really the only app that burns my battery because of the type of activity. Even then I can do that for a really long time before needing to charge.
I have a 2020 11 inch iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard, it is my laptop replacement and I love it. White Magic Keyboard getting dirty, that’s ok 👍🏻!
I am leaning toward the iPad Pro for my next device due to the better screen, cameras and it can be had with cellular. I have an older 13" MacBook Air I really like but the 12.9" iPad Pro looks to be more appealing.
I just got the 15 inch air but am considering returning for m2 iPad Pro 12.9 for its better display even though it is smaller
@@Johnmims65wow that is exactly what I was wondering I’m glad I found your comment
@@Johnmims65brother I just saw you in another video commenting you got a MBP 13” m1 do you upgrade every year?
@@4l3kis kinda I’m a techie I switch a lot like right now I’m planning on getting the z fold 5
Thinking of going for Mac Mini for heavy work and file server, and iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard for on the go and meetings.
I literally just unboxed my iPad Pro 12.9, previously owned a mini and the bigger screen is really a game-changer!
It’s amazing. Especially the pro motion and the hdr content
No sht
I have an air with the keyboard and it works great but doing school work is quit tedious. I’m also taking computer science classes this year and I’m afraid it won’t be sufficient. Should I get the new Mac?
Good video, Chris, providing a starting point for this discussion. I use my M1 iPad Pro with an external Apple Magic Trackpad and the latest version of Apple’s external Bluetooth keyboard. I rely 100% on my iPad for all my office and personal work, and with the advent of Stage Manager in iPadOS 16, I find the desktop experience to be even greater. By the way, Stage Manager actually allows many more than 4 apps to be open: you can have 4 app clusters off to the side, which can each contain several apps. Thanks for a nice video.
hello, im just an student so ia care a lt about office apps like word and excel and i wanna ask how do they perform on the ipad?
I think the single critical differentiation is how MS apps words on iPad. Especially excel. If not, go for iPad. Biggest advantage is the versatility of the form factor. Reading to watching videos. Rest is sheer delta - which hardly bothers. But good content for reviews 😂

@dailytekk could u gift me an iPad?
I have a iPad Pro because it’s portable and I can hold it in my hand while training in person clients and I have the MacBook air on the way for my administrative and online coaching clients for my personal training business.
13:19 the wholesome laugh made me sub 😂 great video brother. Much love from 🇨🇦❤️
Perfect video! I guess I am probably not the only one who‘s got both 😉! And exactly because of what you say: It‘s the software! Even the Foto-App is a little different and sometimes I prefer this, sometimes I prefer the other, and I sometimes even switch back and forth within minutes! And it really sucks when the wifi isn‘t up do date 😉. I personally find the MacBook to be a little more „delicate“, I prefer to use the iPad while traveling.
As a developer I use iPad Pro 12.9 & MacBook Pro M1 Pro
I have the Mac connected at home or at work to a docking station, and I use the iPad for on the go or “light coding”. I’d say the iPad can do about 95% of the coding I need to do on the go, for the extra 5% I have my Mac connected with Remote Desktop option just in case.
I just came back from a 2 weeks vacation and I only took my iPad with me. It was more then enough, and of course much easier to take with on a trip! Specially watching movies and shows during flight, or at the hotel. It’s just much easier… maybe it’s just the way I see it, but for me checking my server logs for errors during the weekend briefly from the iPad just doesn’t feel like I’m actually working… it’s always in the living room, or dining table - I usually read my personal emails & go over the news every morning on the iPad while having my morning coffee. I almost never have it in the office, even though like I said I can do 95% of my work just on the iPad Pro.
Bottom line is that for me as a developer/programmer I need a MacBook Pro for the day to day work, but I also like having the iPad Pro as a companion to it, don’t see how the MacBook air can take over either of those
But as you say - this is just my perspective and my setup, and the way I like my setup
such a funny answer!!
coding with iPad?? are you kidding??
Ayo THIS IS WHAT I WANT IN REVIEW! Had his own opinions, didnt talk about the specs but at the same time talked about the limitations. Amazing vdo. Covered everything from looks to performance to usability. AMAZING MAN!
I like you glossed over how freaking heavy the iPad Pro 12 is with the magic keyboard......
I ended up getting the iPad pro over the Macbook Air due to having an iMac already, and my iPad has the cellular option that keeps me online at all times without having to use wifi or a hotspot. I'm a fan of both products, but I think the iPad pro is a more versatile piece of hardware.
Should I buy a air? I have a 11” pro but feel like I need a real computer
@@jarnold420ja all depends on what your use case is. If it’s more about basic tasks and a little pro work (coding, photo/video editing) than yes, get the Air for sure
Well put together, thanks!😊
Basic productivity is a nightmare on iPad pro. I've bee rolling with one for 2 years. With the older keyboard, it's a significantly lighter setup. But even after two years, working with iOS to even just do email, word processing, etc. is always annoying. And every session i randomly miss an action with the touch screen or accidently touch something that collapses a window, etc. The portability is great,, but that's it.
Great video! Bought your Nipponese wallpaper pack. I love it!
Awesome! Thank you!
i have an ipad pro and find myself constantly reaching for my macbook mainly because file management is easier on a laptop. ipad for me is like a big iphone. still yet to utilize the ipad to it’s “pro” potential (if there was an ipad air 12.9 i would have bought that). i do love my ipad but only because i use it alongside my laptop. definitely not a replacement.
This is so interesting, thank you! As a current iPad Pro owner (11 inch) I was wondering wether to buy a magic keyboard or to say screw it and get an air. Battery on my pro has not been the best but is good in other ways! But for uni I think the air will be a great edition. So tempted to get the midnight colour but I worry about scratching
Great video, the only thing that I feel is fundamental yet neglected is the requirement for corporate profiles/VPN/client configuration. I learned this the hard way. Now I need to carry both around. . .
Both for any project will come up on to go
They need to open up ipad os to do more. It’s the only apple device besides the iPhone i would use. If i need a laptop or desktop, I’m sticking with windows. You can do so much more and it’s almost compatible with everything.
I prefer the iPad Pro myself, although I never had a Mac/MacBook or any computer besides iPads.
MacAir + iPadPro (no keyboard) is greatest combo ... iPad operates as either second Mac screen or keyboard/mouse controlled from Mac
I think it‘s a bit like comparing a Smart-TV with a professional monitor. You can connect a Smart-TV to you computer and use it as a monitor but it‘ll be never that great for professional work because it isn’t meant to do so. You can watch TV on your professional monitor really fine but it‘s complicated to navigate when you sit on your couch and when you have no remote and tv operating system.
Both device are made for different use cases and you shouldn‘t want to replace one with the other. Alone they are great but the combination of both of them leads to the superb user experience that Apple wants to offer.
How can transfer or keep the thousands of photos and videos that are on my old iMac? I just need the iPad for streaming, iPhone/iTunes backup, email, games, storage. Guess I need to research what it can do.
I have a windows desktop and looking for a extra device for my study I am still debating on macbook or ipad what do you recommend ?
I purchased the iPad pro and one of my biggest peeves is that the a lot of apps and programs still consider it a "mobile" device so they either don't open or is messed up. I also use Chrome extensions which I'm not able to bc it's a tablet version of Chrome. So it's really hindering bc I use Chrome extensions for research for my digital businesses.
Is it a way to fix this or it's just a down fall of ipad? I'm considering a macbook for those reasons and a few others.
I have the same issues. Ended up having to switch to Safari which allows for extensions.
@@Baumanly on iPad ?
I’ll buy the 11 inch iPad Pro M2. If I have to do certain things that can only be done on a Mac I already have a 2017 MacBook Air with that cool glowing Apple logo.
I nice what you mentioned about who uses the Air.
As a developer, I use the Air M1 and honestly is more than enough for me. I never needed a pro. The only reason that I would choose a pro is to have the possibility of using 2 or more additional monitors, but the fact that I can already use one additional monitor is more than enough to me.
What has led me to choose the iPad Pro 12.9 as my daily computer is the app lineup from the App Store. I just find that the iPad Pro is just much more convenient and portable than any laptop. 1. Being that the iPad Pro comes as a cellular option. Since the pandemic a lot of jobs have turned into either a hybrid/office setup or home period. Either case means portability, flexibility and being able to do your work while on the go and the only way to do that is by making sure you have a stable and reliable internet connection.
Next, 2. The Screen quality. I have just found that the screen quality on iPad’s is superior to what is on laptops for the price. IPad Pro screens are vivid, usually has more knits of brightness and is a touch display. Having a touch display compared to a standard non touch, allows the user to be more involved with their work and provides that element of satisfaction that just can not be obtained by using a standard non touch display.
3. More finance options means more ways to put iPads in the hands of the masses. As mentioned before, the iPad comes in both a Wi-Fi version and cellular version. Having a cellular version device means you have options to either finance the iPad yourself or purchase the device through your carrier, which is generally easier to do than applying for an actual credit card to finance the device yourself.
4. Lastly, convenience. You open the lid of whatever case on your iPad and you are in with Face ID. Face ID means you can log straight into your iPad without having to type in any password. It also means that you can make purchases by just looking at your iPad or secure sensitive information on your iPad. Speaking of sensitive information, less opportunity for virus attacks or phishing on iPad’s compared to traditional laptops.
iPads are just better but in the end its all about what is needed to get the job done.
i know you have made a ton of m2 MBA videos, but im a engineering student and planning to buy this mac to use it with parallels or other virtual machine... can you make a parallels video review ???
Don’t you need to use the track pad to scroll through things on the Mac Book Air vs. you can use your fingers on the screen to scroll on the I-Pad. If you don’t use a regular computer most of the time (i.e. you have a company provided laptop) it’s really nice that you could use the I-Pad pro as a personal computer with a Magic Keyboard when you need a computer.
Thanks for the great video. I believe even for the “average consumer” the deal maker will be the usability of Microsoft apps; they are still better on the laptop to extract the maximum productivity of them
Does MSword work well in the ipad pro?
Is it worth it to upgrade from the iPad Air 4 to either the air 5 or the iPad Pro??
I quite disagree on who the MacBook Air is for. Most webdevs I know pretty much all use Macbook airs. The same goes for a lot of artists who prefer using full desktop versions of adobe. In summary the Macbook air is for a lot of people and not just people who do a "little" bit of streaming and mostly web browsing.
is the screen quality on the 12.9 m2 worth trading my m2 15inch MacBook Air for? or should I just stick with the 15 inch air?
After getting a MacBook m2 air, i feel like i didnt need it as much as i thought i would, i also have an ipad pro
I have the iPad Pro 2020 11” and an M1 MBA. Most of the time I use my ipad, BUT: i bought the ipad especially for notetaking with the apple pen at the university (pshychology) and at work, and I use it for media consuption too, in these areas it’s unbeatable.
But when i need a good MsWord or excel or a good keyboard (writing long essays, using statistics programs etc) the MBA saves me.
In the past couple of months I changed my note taking methods, and write more and more with Notion when I’m at the uni, and remain to use the ipad for reading books, learning language with downloaded textbooks cuz I can write in them, taking notes at work, and ofc wathing movies in the bed etc.
I’ve never regret getting the ipad first, and I really love my MBA too. The two devices shine in different areas, so if you wanna choose between them, u really need to understand your own needs.
The screen of the iPad is so much better, but the MBA fits so much more my needs as a student… If only IPad OS was better and could truly transform the device as a PC, I would go for it. Maybe I should wait until IPad OS 16 to make a choice
Hmmmm. Guess the MacBook is better as a student. I’m back in college and I need productivity. Also want to stream hd contents on Netflix and Disney + but doesn’t seem like the MacBook have a native app. Can’t decide
@Mohammad Al-Shuwaiee I bought a macbook air M2. I don't like the keyboard of the Ipad, and the office softwares are not as complete as macbook/PC (Excel doesn't work the same way, less options). I bought the macbook air two month ago, and I'm not disappointed so far ! I fulfills everything I was looking for.
this video needs a update since logic pro and final cut pro are now on the ipad. for me, its the small things like adding downloaded audio to my music library or adding keywords to images to make them more searchable. small tasks like that is what I use my macbook air for.
Where did you get those backgrounds?? Super cool
Wow what a great timing of this video i was just thinking between ipad pro m1 12.9 inch and M2 MacBook air to buy, this video cleared my doubts .
So what are you going to choose?
@@gamerkidsb3764 M2 MacBook
Omg no SSD talks this time, awesome video!
I have both but not the pro i have a 9th gen ipad and m2 air. I love the air for productivity for school and i use the ipad for classes for notes and when i have onlinr classes i use it to pull up documents. I never thought i would be a mac person. Grew up using pc and had surface products all throught out college. But the switch was well worth it
My thoughts: I have an IPad Air M1 (purchased in May 2022) and a MacBook Air M1 (bought 2022 also) and one think that lacks for me on the Mac is the number of apps that I use on the Ipad. I do not need super powerful apps like a blogger would need and I am retired and I only do research and writing so I do not need lots of fancy powerful apps. I use Logitech keyboards and the new one for the IPad Air M1 is not as good as the older one. I also prefer a mouse to a touch pad and I hate it when my thumb slides across the corner of the toad and my cursor jumps to the top of the text. I have even turned down the sensitivity to minimum and it still captures my thumb movement.
Would it be a bad idea to get the iPad while I start and go through school and then get the Mac once I graduate and get my desired job?
I can’t get into the website to download your wallpaper!
I would like to write by hand but also have powerful software, this would be great for my classes as I like to write and draw diagrams but I also need great softwares for other things I do for school and personal use, tough choice
Like edge-to-edge display Apple Watch, every edge-to-edge display iPad models doesn't contain the notch.
The iPhone models with Face ID and some MacBook models (except the 13-inch MacBook Pro, since M2 MacBook Air) does contain the notch.
Outstanding video, mate! I've used the M1 12.9" iPad Pro + magic keyboard as my "laptop" for about a year. I bought the M2 Air to see how I'd do with a true laptop. As much as I liked the Air, I found myself constantly touching its screen to launch an app or scroll through a website. The iPad's XDR miniLED blows away the Air's screen, as you noted. I returned the Air and now want to see what the 14.1" iPad Pro has to offer. I still think there's a place for the Air in my work life. I'll look for the M2 Air in Apple's refurb store in a few months. Maybe I'll get lucky enough to find one with the same configuration (16GB/512GB) at a few hundred $$ cheaper.
If they made a 14 inch iPad. Droooool
That’s would be so big
They canceled it for 2023 unfortunately
I’m a college student , had a laptop , sold it bought ipad pro. Honestly i can not imagine not having apple pencil , its a life changer.
What is your major?
@@jhb1436 veterinary medicine
Y'all drop a link for the wallpaper on the Mac? Thanks
Great discussion. I’ve been a MacBook Pro user for a lot of years but lately what I’ve really needed is the note taking apps that work so well on the iPad. I made the switch to the 12.9” iPad Pro in 2021 and I’ve not looked back. I haven’t seen a real need yet to even upgrade to the M1 version but I would if there were any significant differences over what I have now. For the more serious apps I keep a Mac Mini on my desk but it spends most of its time in a sleep state.
Really considering between a MacBook and ipad pro M1. I need something Zoom meetings and studying for school but i dont do video editing or anything crazy. I still wonder if MacBook more ideal or if i’d be fine with ipad pro and Magic Keyboard instead
There is definitely no right answer. Both are amazing devices and serve their own purpose.
Are you running the Ventura beta on that Mac? I noticed every time I open my MacBook Pro, I get some sort of notification sound even when nothing has happened. Yay betas!
Yes haha
Just get both, perfect combo
my bank account just LOL-d
I'm a developer so I need the mac, wish I had more use for my iPad in it, but I end up doing everything while I'm on my mac lol
Mine is both…..iPad Air 2020 with Magic Keyboard and new M2 MacBook Air……. Great……. By the way…great review….
Thanks for the effort
Your wallpaper is awesome
So it means We can't use MS Office on Ipad smoothly, right?
any news on an Ipad Pro refresh this year?
Good comparison, thanks.
Great review but you didnt talk about the use out of the office. iPad Pro wins this hands down with LTE connection.
Should I get both?
Can you add an external camera to an I pad?
I have the 2020 12.9’’ iPad Pro with the A12 Z chip but I got stage manager somehow
If the next version of the M2 or M3 Air came with an option for WiFi only or WiFi/Cell it'd be the perfect travel computer. I have the M1 Pro and a M1 iPad Pro 12.9. I do use the iPad more but they both have their uses for me.
Why hasn’t apple just retired the iPad and macbook lines to create a new line of products that combines the two at this point
Money
Prolly aint as simple as it sounds. Laptops perform better than tablets but generally weaker than PCs.
To make a Laptop/iPad hybrid would require much better components and systems inside.
To make an iPad that performs just as good as a Macbook requires the iPad to be bigger and heavier, which beats the purpose of having an iPad.
Just saw it in a review once but it made sense. Atm, you really have to choose between a stronger performing Macbook or a much more convenient notetaking iPad.
@@markalbarracin2011
aren't iPads already on Macbook's level aside from the OS that holds it back? Macbooks are already skinny and light, the 10th Gen iPad is around the same thickness as a MacBook Air. It just makes sense to me that it would be more efficient for apple to combine the two lines then offer various trims of the iPad+Mac product. Introduce the new line by combining the two names like iPac or something like that so that people could infer that product is a Mac and iPad combined or just keep Macbook if they don't want to retire the name then slowly phase out the iPad and current Macbook lines.
Or they could sell the screen as a traditional iPad, then a keyboard attachment that holds extra RAM and whatever else components to beef up the iPad then when combined it's now considered a MacBook.
There's a ton of ways to retire the two lines and combine them for efficiency and reduce waste and cost.
@@DropoutJerome i dont think so. Microsoft has done this with Surface products, and there’re tons of problems with it, a Laptop made Tablet Hybrid.
Lots of heating issues and crashing. Not to mention lag when rotating screens. Booting up issues. It’s not as simple as you might think.
iPads are bigger iPhones, but they arent laptops or Macbooks. The two are completely different products with differing functions.
Maybe they can, but as i read from a review, iPads are not Laptops or Macbooks. They are different. iPads are closer to phones than a laptop
@@markalbarracin2011 but with the new chips aren't they the same ones in the Macbooks that the iPads have now? Again, it doesn't make sense since the Macbooks are pretty much almost the same width as the iPads, and I forgot about the surface tablets, but their attachable keyboards are just keyboards without any PC components in them. What if the Apple puts PC components on their keyboards that would beef up the iPad? Apple has on more than one occasion taken Microsoft ideas and greatly improved on them to where people don't even know, or forget that Microsoft did it first.
I need the mba to have pro motion with the higher brightness as well. Don’t need the power mbp provides nor do I want to pay mbp prices.
I think an important point that many comparison videos fail to mention for us regular folks is that there are no streaming apps made for MacBook Air except maybe one. So if you are looking for a device that you can use to download shows/movies for a long trip, the iPad is the better option. MacBook Air can do it through third party workarounds I believe, but there’s no native convenient method.
Mba new color is nice... I have already moved uaing solely Ipad Pro M1, great speed and portability
