      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.

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.

    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.

    • @scoot5642
      @scoot5642 4 года назад +14

      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).

    • @scoot5642
      @scoot5642 4 года назад

      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.

    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!

    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 :)

    @saraevans2026 5 лет назад +6

    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 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!

    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.

    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...

    can't wait about your opinion for iPad budget 2019. really need your insight for this. Great work!

    • @fortnightable
      @fortnightable 5 лет назад +1

      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.
