Hi Ali. I am a junior doctor from India. I want to buy an ipad to read and annotate medical ebooks (mostly pdfs about 1gb in size on average). I want to know if there is any difference in the rendering speed / reading experience between the ipad 10.2 inch vs ipad pro ? ). What i mean is flipping pages . Zooming in to paragraphs etc. Your reply would be highly valuable to me. Thank you
The screen refresh rate of ipad pro is double to that of other ipads, also unique. So yes smoother experience, but you’ll only notice it if you have it sidewise with other screen, otherwise not. for book reading, the price and power is overkill.
get an ipad pro generation 2 they are still great (maybe not as aesthetically pleasing) and you can get them quite cheap if you are quick and keep looking👍
When I saw it was 17+ minutes long I thought I might just "dip in" here and there but ended up watching the entire video which was one of the best tech videos I have ever seen. Well done.
Same, man, same. I wish I could jump to the future and Apple released the 12.9” microLED iPad Pro, that’s what I truly want. Update: I went down the middle and bought the 2021 11” iPad Pro and called it a day. The rumor mill has been crazy for iPads RN, so I’ll keep this one till the come out with the microLED…and hopefully a bigger size!! 🤩🤞🏾🤞🏾
Get an older iPad Pro! I have the 9.7 inch rose gold iPad Pro and it's brilliant. Yes it doesn't have the nice bezels of the new iPad Pros but it's not a big deal. I got it for £399 refurbished (looks brand new) 32gb cellular model but I'm sure you can find them cheaper now as I got mine in 2018.
The first minute rolled up and he gave a straightforward conclusion without the usual youtuber fillers and rambling. I liked and subscribed in that same second.
THIS is what I want to see on RUclips! I seek real smart opinions on stuff, but everyone else tells in their videos that I can comfortably read on a product brochure or just see in first 10 second inside a store. BUT YOU are a pure joy to watch! Thank you so much for the kind of content that you produce.. please keep doing it, the world needs more stuff like this!
Came here pretty much for the conclusion. I like the fact that you put it right upfront, MAD RESPECT for doing this! Couldn't help but watch the whole video! You sir, are GREAT at this! Thank you! Cheers from Brazil!
My friend bought an iPad Pro 12 inch. I tried out. I bought iPad Air 3. The pro is a great device. It better to be - it costs more than most laptop computers. Its huge 120hz screen is definitely a game changer and Apple Pencil 2nd gen offers one of the great stylus experience. But do you really need it? No. There’s a reason why it’s called pro. It’s heavy and very expensive. I needed iPad Air 3 for notetaking and watching videos. I’m content with my purchase. It does pretty much everything that an iPad Pro can do. The screen size is enough. And it’s much lighter. I carry it around all day without a problem. I would’ve liked Pro’s fast responsive screen and pencil but why spend almost twice the money when you can do the same thing, at a cost of just minor speed loss? You may have enough money but you don’t always have to buy the best thing out in the market. Unless you’re a professional designer I really don’t see why you would need pro. I’m gonna mention this once more, Pro is way too heavy. It was never designed for everyday use. If you need an iPad for note taking get an Air because the original doesn’t have a laminated screen and it feels weird writing on it. If your purpose is watching videos iPad is good enough.
I semi agree. I had the 9.7 iPad 6th gen and its was completely fine for note taking and media. I upgraded to iPad Pro 12.9 it’s over kill In a good way. It’ll last you many years into the future like 120 hz screen, use c, A12x chip, and slim bezel + taking notes is much much better (not 400+ better tho). Multi tasking with textbook on one side and notes on the other side is so nice with an notebook size screen. So to me, iPad Air and 11in pro isn’t worth it (FOR ME) but I do argue that the budget ipad is the best option for college but air if you do have a bit more to burn. the pro is really the best if 1. U have a laptop 2. Money 3. Planning on using it for over 5 years , especially for notes and textbooks (medical students).
faye wong depends what you need it for. just note taking and media consumption, 64 is enough. if you wanna save a okay amount of photos and videos/ graphic designing, i recommend 128 or 256gb. if photo editing and videos, try to get as much as possible
Scoot how much different is the writing on the air V’s pro? I’m not a huge tech guy and I’ve tried the air and I think it’s solid. I’m using it solely for note taking. Thoughts?
David Livingston unless you’re extremely used to smooth 120hz screen like gaming pc, you will not notice a big difference. and it depends on the app you use to take notes. i use good note 5 and the 2 ipad writing is pretty much identical. however, if you use the default note app (dont really recommend it due to the limitations), ipad pro is very different due to the screen refresh rate, very much like paper and pencil while the ipad air have a slight (very small) delay. but you don’t really notice it unless you’re writing really fast and large.
This is literally the best review video on a product I’ve ever seen. It’s my first time watching you and I already respect your work ethic for real man. Like I don’t know you but I can tell you’re really doing good in life, I’ve already learned so much about you just from this one video. A doctor, youtuber, business owner on the side, and you got a podcast going. You inspire me and I wish u well in life bro
You've convinced me that I don't need the iPad Pro, and that the iPad Air is just fine for what I'll be doing with it, thank you! I think I'll trade my old iPad Air (the very first one!) to get this one again, your video is amazing!! keep up the good work!
I just watched two 20 min videos before this comparing iPads, and they were all just talking about the technical differences. Like, I could just go to the apple site for that I'm not watching out a video to find out one has 450 nits, and another has 500. This was exactly what I needed! Clear, and straight to the point! Thank you! I've subscribed, you clearly know what you're talking about and aren't here to summarize points from the apple site, but actually opinionated about practical usage of the iPads.
My parents got me a “budget” iPad and I absolutely love it. I even use an Apple Pencil (gen 1) to take notes with it. For a keyboard I have a foldable case with a keyboard that I just stick in it so it’s really awesome for me.
thank god. I literally just got my iPad yesterday and im a university student and this video was semi bumming me out thinking I should've spent more money on the Air.
@@xonikkiecal if you just got it 5 days ago you got the iPad 7 right? That's one's definitely more than enough for students, it's just *nicer* if you get the Air. Not worth it if the extra money could be spent better on something else. I'd rather get an iPad 7, Apple Pencil, Airpods, and a smart keyboard case, literally for the same price as what the iPad pro would cost. Fucking insane.
I watched the entire video BECAUSE he had the conclusion at the very start. I feel like the video has more value when the creator doesn't feel the need to make it as long as possible only to come to a conclusion that's something like, "Ultimately, it really just depends on your personal preference." 🙄 I've always enjoyed Ali's videos though. They're always intelligent, helpful and well put together. He never has obnoxious songs or goes overboard during the editing process either 🧡
Dude, Ive been following you and watching your videos for a couple of years now. Your dedication and capacity of keeping everything in your life in order has inspired me to pursue my goals. I’m currently enrolled in a self paced Toxicology MOOC, and about to start my masters degree in Culinary Arts, and considering my options (iPad-wise) for the task. And Watching this vid has remembered me why I’m a follower of yours. You are a beast in what you do, believe me! Keep up the awesome work and content! Regards from Mexico.
That entire explanation actually made me go out and buy the iPad (budget). I really really dig the explanation of the "value of delight" and for me I'd rather be spending my time on paper or on computer.
Seeing your video on taking notes on the iPad convinced me I needed one. Do all my work on it now and couldn't be happier with it :) Great content as always Ali, keep it up!
you are my favorite reviewer as you cut to the chase - no BS. I enjoy your cost benefit analysis and you helped me think through all the scenarios. I appreciate the tactile functionality of the paper like screen saver. I will be deciding between the Air or mini because of consumption reasons (I want to use it for journaling and reading) lastly great video editing. Thank you!
It is not common to see doctors and scientists do a product review like this, and when they do, it certainly has to be a gold standard for all the gadget reviewers and unboxers. This review takes into account viewers’ valuable time, makes a clear distinction between different user types and their product utility and budget, also looks into the economics of the product in terms of lifecycle and depreciation. If you are a Woody Allen fan then it’s a bonus to see a younger him with better voice modulation and a lot of optimism. Thanks for your review!
you actually encouraged me to get the iPad Air 3 when i'm debating to myself whether to get the ipad 7th gen or the ipad mini 5 lol thank you for this!
dude ur videos are so clean and yes ik that im really late this video was posted over a year ago but still man i really respect u the clear understanding that u provide to all us viewers tnx a lot man really appreciate it
You should seriously consider becoming an Apple affiliate. I know many people who bought iPads because of you and I am about to become one of them. If you got even 1% of the sales you generate, you would make a lot of money
Hi, it's been three months since i bought my Ipad Air 3 and i would really like to thank you for helping me choose! As a student i think it's the best option
I own an iPad Pro and every day at Uni I’m super grateful that i was lucky enough to afford one when I started Uni. I wish I had it when I was at school, would’ve made everything way easier and especially for me cause I’m a little messy haha having everything in one place and always with me is just amazing. Thanks for your video! Loved this comparison :)
Your videos are literally so qualitatively well done! I live for the little drawings you insert 😋🥰 I don't even want to buy an iPad, I just watch the video cause of you and your knowledge 🙂
How refreshing. A comprehensive summary at the beginning...... Maybe I'm contrary; I appreciated the summary upfront, consequently I watched the entire video with interest. Impressed! Thank you.
Thanks I just subscribed. I have to admit, it's quite refreshing to have a RUclips channel where the creator succinctly notes the reason people go to the video. Great work mate.
I really appreciate the structure of this video! I felt satisfied with your conclusion that came first and it made me watch the rest of the video. Your honesty and review points also on point! I was making a research on tablets and now I'm considering to buy ipad air.
Thank you for an excellent summary. You're the first person that has managed to convince me not to buy an iPad Pro, and to get an iPad Air instead. Other reviewers just brushed over everything, without diving deep into the actual discussion of value-price. I do graphic design and animation, and I'm currently studying Interactive Media Design, so I thought it'd be logical to get the Pro (I was planning on saving up for the 11-inch). However, listening to your explanation has made me realize that that'd be an unnecessary investment, having in mind that I already have a 2018 Zenbook Pro for all of the work I need and that I was actually looking for a consumption device, with some light work-related needs. I also appreciated the upfront conclusion, which made me stay until the end. Subscribed. Keep up the amazing work.
thank you so much for this video! i'm currently facing the dilemma of trying to figure out which iPad i should buy for school, and i've spent the last few days watching tons of different videos to try to help me make that decision. your video was hands down the most helpful one i've come across and i really learned so much from it (and it was super easy to follow along and understand as well, which is a totally different story for some other tech videos i've seen LOL)
Your videos are an absolute joy to watch, always. I am thankful that you respect our time by putting time stamps and keeping all your scripts organized yet natural and fluid.
This actually convinced me to get the iPad budget because I don't care about the screen, keyboard, or the power of the Air. I'll literally just be using it for taking notes so the budget one is fine for me.
this is the best video ive found. Ive wanted to get an ipad for Christmas so I could animate. I was gonna go the long jump and get the pro but i realised not to spend extra- idk where im going with this comment
I don't usually comment on videos, but on this one I just had to let you know - this was such a well thought out review, answered all my concerns (and highlighted considerations I didn't even know I had!), and just had a much more enjoyable consumer-relatable spin to the review. I'm going to be using the value of delight in my decision making from now on ;) Thank you for making this!
Adnan A - Thank you. I think you answered my initial question: is the Apple Pencil compatible with the ‘new’ iPad Mini 5? And if so, what is the writing comparison between the Mini and the much more expensive, iPad Pro?
I love the fact that you give away the conclusion right in the beginning without making people watch the entire video even though it would compromise your views ! Imma watch the entire video but this is rare. And I highly admire and appreciate this. Real good content !
Nicely done, looks like you've absolutely smashed yet another video Ali! Was wondering if you could do a video about your schedule/time management? Managing your medical career, a RUclips channel, and successful businesses seems like it would take a lot of organization/planning...I'm curious to see how you do it!
This video is EXACTLY what I am looking for. I am new to Apple products, I was so confused by the purpose of the different models. Thank you! Makes sense now :)
Very well informed and detailed. You come across as articulate, intelligent and to the point. Didn't need to hit the skip feature like I usually do with some RUclipsrs whose speech is the speed of a snail.
Honestly, I have the IPad 6th gen (budget IPad) and I’m very happy with it. Since it’s cheaper, I could afford getting the biggest storage option and the celular connectivity, which I wouldn’t be able to pay with the Air. I personally use it for media consumption, video editing, drawing and note taking, it’s perfect.
Just fell in love with your channel. Explanations are very thorough, concise and straight to the point, just the way I like it! Keep it up, Ali! You just added a new subscriber!
In addition, while the Pro may be a great buy that's top of the line you also need to consider that Apple will keep improving and releasing new versions So don't think that you need the best version now
Finally a video from someone who actually has a job like the rest of us and is not reviewing for colleague-RUclipsrs. I was looking for a proper review to see if iPad is useful for me as a consultant who also uses a lot of Office (probably not). The only thing everyone seems to be skipping is the difference lightning port vs usb-c. If You are buying just an iPad and all your other electronics are usb-c, the lightning port on the iPad becomes a hassle and you need to spend a lot on adapters and cables you would otherwise already have...
subscribed because of this video. its an ipad selection review of the real practical use, not the specifications on which most people won't feel during use.
Summary: There is basically no difference between the new and old iPad budget model. If you look at the specs, the iPad budget 2019 has the exact same specs and internals as the previous iPad budget (same A10 processor, same storage sizes, same WiFi chip, same battery life,), except it has a slightly larger screen of a similar resolution as the older one. Thus, it is basically the same iPad as the previous iPad budget. My guess is Apple produced this new model purely to save on tooling costs as they likely want to decomission their manufacture lines with their older 9.7" size LCD screens. My suggestion is that if you want the iPad budget, buy the older model because it would be cheaper now that the newer one is out, but essentially is the same thing.
First review and explanation I’ve ever seen that I find thoroughly well explained. I really liked the examples you gave and the backstory of why the iPad is worse than the iPad Air etc. You seem very intelligent! :)
Excellent review!! Probably the best iPad reviews on RUclips. I own the iPad Air 3 and am extremely happy with the purchase!! As a teacher of mathematics I use my iPad Air and the Apple Pencil for online teaching and note writing...... it’s really a worth purchase!!

Hi Ali. I am a junior doctor from India. I want to buy an ipad to read and annotate medical ebooks (mostly pdfs about 1gb in size on average).

The screen refresh rate of ipad pro is double to that of other ipads, also unique. So yes smoother experience, but you’ll only notice it if you have it sidewise with other screen, otherwise not. for book reading, the price and power is overkill.
Plz make a product reveiw about different iPad pencils
For a teacher which iPad would u recommend?
Karan Maurya Definitely go with a budget 10.2 iPad or an iPad Air at most. You don’t particularly need an iPad Pro.
The only reason I watched the whole video is because I respect you for giving the conclusion early.
ikfr.
I agree
Shows he is cool with you just getting the conclusion and not even watching which is a whole new level where giving value is concerned
HAHAH yes this!!! :D
Same!
I'm just gonna go ahead and say it. That was the easiest and most enjoyable tech review video I have ever watched.
I loved the graphics he added, it was so helpful!!!
No doubts about it. Amazing video structure and way of thinking.

you actually encouraged me to get the iPad Air 3 when i'm debating to myself whether to get the ipad 7th gen or the ipad mini 5 lol thank you for this!
Thank you for respecting our time and keeping the video brief.
I have never seen such a well produced product review on RUclips. YES to your Skillshare class!
came for the review, got out a solid financial advice
dude ur videos are so clean and yes ik that im really late this video was posted over a year ago but still man i really respect u the clear understanding that u provide to all us viewers tnx a lot man really appreciate it
This must be the best review I have ever watched in my life
You should seriously consider becoming an Apple affiliate. I know many people who bought iPads because of you and I am about to become one of them. If you got even 1% of the sales you generate, you would make a lot of money
Apple doesn’t share profits mate... 😂😂😂😂
Also buying an Ipad Air because of this video.
Ger McGuire me too
ye fr lol
@@PTZOUTZ Ikr lol 😂😂
thank you for a very comprehensive review. i've been going back and forth for a pro and the air
I’m realizing 80% or more of my tech content on RUclips comes from MKBHD and you. You’re going places my man. AMAZING videos.
Hi, it's been three months since i bought my Ipad Air 3 and i would really like to thank you for helping me choose! As a student i think it's the best option
I own an iPad Pro and every day at Uni I’m super grateful that i was lucky enough to afford one when I started Uni. I wish I had it when I was at school, would’ve made everything way easier and especially for me cause I’m a little messy haha having everything in one place and always with me is just amazing. Thanks for your video! Loved this comparison :)
Your videos are literally so qualitatively well done! I live for the little drawings you insert 😋🥰
I don't even want to buy an iPad, I just watch the video cause of you and your knowledge 🙂
How refreshing. A comprehensive summary at the beginning......
Maybe I'm contrary; I appreciated the summary upfront, consequently I watched the entire video with interest. Impressed! Thank you.
Gabrielle Milne same !!
You are very good and upfront. You gave time stampings and allowed your viewers to skip if they want. This sole reason made me subscribe you.
I like how straightforward and efficient you are!
Thanks
I just subscribed. I have to admit, it's quite refreshing to have a RUclips channel where the creator succinctly notes the reason people go to the video. Great work mate.
Love the "spend your money where you want to spend your time."
U deserve a super like.... Quality content
I really appreciate the structure of this video! I felt satisfied with your conclusion that came first and it made me watch the rest of the video. Your honesty and review points also on point! I was making a research on tablets and now I'm considering to buy ipad air.
Spending Sunday morning watching some of your vids. I'm in heaven. Thank you Ali.
Apple : How many ipads?
Ali Abdaal: Yes
lol.
An actual review that helped me make a smart decision! I'm getting the iPad air it's what I NEED.
I LOVE that style where the conclusion comes first!!
If you don’t have the money: air or 7th gen
If you have the money: pro
(I have a 2nd gen pro and a 6th gen btw)
A very very clever man. Extremely well thought out video. Those graphs are a brilliant concept.
Thank you for an excellent summary.
You're the first person that has managed to convince me not to buy an iPad Pro, and to get an iPad Air instead. Other reviewers just brushed over everything, without diving deep into the actual discussion of value-price.
I do graphic design and animation, and I'm currently studying Interactive Media Design, so I thought it'd be logical to get the Pro (I was planning on saving up for the 11-inch).
However, listening to your explanation has made me realize that that'd be an unnecessary investment, having in mind that I already have a 2018 Zenbook Pro for all of the work I need and that I was actually looking for a consumption device, with some light work-related needs.
I also appreciated the upfront conclusion, which made me stay until the end. Subscribed.
Keep up the amazing work.
I’ve been binge watching your videos these past few days. You’re just so captivating!
me: just bought a new ipad!
youtube: wanna regret that?
Bought the pro and RUclips keeps recommending me videos on how the air is just fine and I’m an idiot to spend the extra for a pro
This review is pure gold!
Love from India :)
thank you so much for this video! i'm currently facing the dilemma of trying to figure out which iPad i should buy for school, and i've spent the last few days watching tons of different videos to try to help me make that decision. your video was hands down the most helpful one i've come across and i really learned so much from it (and it was super easy to follow along and understand as well, which is a totally different story for some other tech videos i've seen LOL)
Your videos are an absolute joy to watch, always. I am thankful that you respect our time by putting time stamps and keeping all your scripts organized yet natural and fluid.
No one:
Econ students when he starts to talk about Diminishing Returns: Serious faces
This is one of the best reviews Ive ever seen for anything.
This actually convinced me to get the iPad budget because I don't care about the screen, keyboard, or the power of the Air. I'll literally just be using it for taking notes so the budget one is fine for me.
Did he just say he’s a doctor, RUclipsr and has a side hustle?! Way to go man! Much respect!
this is the best video ive found. Ive wanted to get an ipad for Christmas so I could animate. I was gonna go the long jump and get the pro but i realised not to spend extra- idk where im going with this comment
I don't usually comment on videos, but on this one I just had to let you know - this was such a well thought out review, answered all my concerns (and highlighted considerations I didn't even know I had!), and just had a much more enjoyable consumer-relatable spin to the review. I'm going to be using the value of delight in my decision making from now on ;) Thank you for making this!
The new iPad mini is perfect for med school rotations because you can write on it and it fits in your white coat 👏👏
Adnan A exactly what i kept wondering
Nice ..Dr..
I would just use plain paper n pen on my rotation😂to avoid dropping that expensive device
I saw u comment on another vdo, don remember vich
Adnan A - Thank you. I think you answered my initial question: is the Apple Pencil compatible with the ‘new’ iPad Mini 5? And if so, what is the writing comparison between the Mini and the much more expensive, iPad Pro?
I love the fact that you give away the conclusion right in the beginning without making people watch the entire video even though it would compromise your views !
Imma watch the entire video but this is rare. And I highly admire and appreciate this.
Real good content !
This Ipad mini 5 deserves more attention. It's a great little device. Fun to use 👏
WIth the conclusion in the beginning you really made me want to watch the whole vid. Thank you!! Really helpful
Nicely done, looks like you've absolutely smashed yet another video Ali!
Was wondering if you could do a video about your schedule/time management? Managing your medical career, a RUclips channel, and successful businesses seems like it would take a lot of organization/planning...I'm curious to see how you do it!
He has a pretty clear and convincing logic.
This video is EXACTLY what I am looking for. I am new to Apple products, I was so confused by the purpose of the different models. Thank you! Makes sense now :)
Best review channel. I love how you break down everything!
Very well informed and detailed. You come across as articulate, intelligent and to the point. Didn't need to hit the skip feature like I usually do with some RUclipsrs whose speech is the speed of a snail.
I legitimately like you! This is the best review I’ve ever seen.
The conclusion at the beginning was a great idea
This is the smartest tech reviewer I’ve watched ever, you deserve a subscribe
Honestly, I have the IPad 6th gen (budget IPad) and I’m very happy with it. Since it’s cheaper, I could afford getting the biggest storage option and the celular connectivity, which I wouldn’t be able to pay with the Air. I personally use it for media consumption, video editing, drawing and note taking, it’s perfect.
Just fell in love with your channel. Explanations are very thorough, concise and straight to the point, just the way I like it! Keep it up, Ali! You just added a new subscriber!
In addition, while the Pro may be a great buy that's top of the line you also need to consider that Apple will keep improving and releasing new versions
So don't think that you need the best version now
i really like how you do the conclusion first
Finally a video from someone who actually has a job like the rest of us and is not reviewing for colleague-RUclipsrs. I was looking for a proper review to see if iPad is useful for me as a consultant who also uses a lot of Office (probably not). The only thing everyone seems to be skipping is the difference lightning port vs usb-c. If You are buying just an iPad and all your other electronics are usb-c, the lightning port on the iPad becomes a hassle and you need to spend a lot on adapters and cables you would otherwise already have...
subscribed because of this video. its an ipad selection review of the real practical use, not the specifications on which most people won't feel during use.
can't wait about your opinion for iPad budget 2019. really need your insight for this. Great work!
Summary: There is basically no difference between the new and old iPad budget model.
If you look at the specs, the iPad budget 2019 has the exact same specs and internals as the previous iPad budget (same A10 processor, same storage sizes, same WiFi chip, same battery life,), except it has a slightly larger screen of a similar resolution as the older one. Thus, it is basically the same iPad as the previous iPad budget. My guess is Apple produced this new model purely to save on tooling costs as they likely want to decomission their manufacture lines with their older 9.7" size LCD screens. My suggestion is that if you want the iPad budget, buy the older model because it would be cheaper now that the newer one is out, but essentially is the same thing.
I don't even care about any Apple products. Yet this is by far the best tech review I have EVER seen.
Keep up the good work. This was awesome!
First review and explanation I’ve ever seen that I find thoroughly well explained. I really liked the examples you gave and the backstory of why the iPad is worse than the iPad Air etc. You seem very intelligent! :)
Great content, thorough and organized, NOT slow or boring
Excellent review!! Probably the best iPad reviews on RUclips. I own the iPad Air 3 and am extremely happy with the purchase!! As a teacher of mathematics I use my iPad Air and the Apple Pencil for online teaching and note writing...... it’s really a worth purchase!!
