I just returned mine today, its a great device with a beautiful screen and I love the New magic keyboard but it does all the same things my 2020 iPad Pro does so I don't think its worth more than double the price, I will keep my older one.
I still have a few days to think about it. Have a 2020 12.9 and really like the 11 M4. The problem is that it won’t support the new Apple AI since it doesn’t have an M chip and don’t see the point of buying and old M1 or 2 after seeing the screen on the M4

Hey there! Thanks for sharing. Yeah I totally understand that feeling, except that I'm passed the 14 day return period and honestly, gotta keep this thing for science (not complaining). Is there a point you think you would upgrade, or are you going to hold out until the a12z dies (which might not be for a while 😅)
I wish this returning policy for apple products was there in all countries. I have lost a lot of money over the years purchasing products and not liking them and then selling it for lower price in India.
Came from a 12.9 (gen 2) … with the huge chin & bezels. So this new 13 design feels super sleek and portable. Guess it’s all preference and perspective. Loving it so far ….no regrets.
I have an 11” iPad Pro M2, upgraded from a 2020 11” iPad Pro. I use it with the Apple Magic Keyboard and I use it a lot more than I use my laptop. I have an iPad Mini that I use when I want a tablet, and a 16” MacBook Pro M3 for my laptop. I’m thinking that the 13” iPad Pro would be a solid upgrade for me, since it has the OLED display, the camera on the horizontal edge, larger (and nicer) Magic Keyboard, and of course the M4 chip. The 13” form factor makes it more portable than the 16” MBP, and gives me a full-sized keyboard and larger display. Your video was really helpful. I’ve subscribed and don’t know why it took me so long to find your channel!
Hi there! I’m super impressed by your lineup as you have a lot of bases covered. The 13” is indeed more portable than the 16” MBP, but it’s a funny middle ground between the MBP and your 11”. The 13” really just feels like MacBook Air in dimensions, but with a superior screen and a more fun form factor. But with that said, it’s a question of whether you need to fill that hole between your 16” and the 11” iPad Pro you already have. If you like the 11”, I’d suggest considering upgrading that to the M4, unless you know you real like the extra real estate on the 13 (which I absolutely love). Thanks and glad you found the channel!
I wanted to thank you for your helpful reviews of the 11 inch and 13 inch M4 iPad Pro. Your insights helped me decide on the 11 inch model, which suits my needs perfectly as I primarily use it hand-held and have an iMac for my computer work.

Hi there! Comments like these are incredibly encouraging, and reminds me to focus on making helpful content, which is the most rewarding. Thanks for taking the time to leaving the comment and cheers to a wonderful week ahead:)
I'm really enjoying my M4 11. I had given up on the iPad for everything but content consumption and now I'm back to using it as my out the door device and leaving my MBP at home.
@@gcalebleeGrab the iPad Air 5th gen at Best Buy right now for $400. Has the M1 processor and you get the best of both worlds. You keep your 13” and get the smaller one when you want to be more mobile.
@@gcalebleeI spent 2 years in 12.9 land and really liked that too. Just a little big for the places I use it like in my truck, on a plane or squeezed into the corner of someone else’s desk.
Hey ive been watching your reviews and it really helped me to choose between 11 or 13 inch m4 pro. I ordered both size and they just arrived. But after watching your reviews i think im gonna go with 11 inch because i also have 15inch MacBook. Hope i made a good choice 👍 Thanks
I upgraded to 13" ipad pro and still have a little remorse as wanted larger coming from 11" M1. However on 13" I do prefer the larger track pad, keys on magic keyboard and landscape camera. I may go down to 11" m4 as wife already claimed the m1 lol...
I'm eyeing this 13' M4 iPad Pro right now... I want something big like this with a great display but sadly my eyes are strained when looking at the miniLED display so I have to miss out on such great deals on the M1 & M2 iPad Pros out there. Hopefully the tandem OLED won't disappoint me !!
Hey there! Thanks for the comment. You know it’s odd, apple displays have always strained my eyes for many years, whether my 16” MacBook Pro or previous iPads. The OLED does seem to help a bit for sure, and to be honest, Samsung’s OLED displays fall even better on my eyes. Keep me posted if you get the M4 and if the display helps!
I hear ya about the sizes being a little too small or a little too big for me. A 12” would’ve been ideal for me too. I also wish they had implemented a standard 16:10 aspect ratio like Samsung does on their tablets. Content watch would be so much better that way.
Hey there, totally agree! Despite the larger screen on the tab s9 ultra, it was easier to hold, and watching pleasure was👌 excited to get my hands on the upcoming s10 ultra to compare 😬
@@highdefnews lol it is, but it's actually just as manageable as the 12.9/13" IMO because when held vertically it's actually easier to hold and type, and when laid on the lap horizonitally, the keyboard is huge so it's hard to miss typing on the screen. Rumors are saying this summer but possibly later..
I went with the 11-inch M4 iPad Pro. Base model with cellular. Traded in my M1 11-inch iPad Pro. So overall I think it was worth the $714. Since I'm getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra 5g with wifi and cellular. I don't need the 13-inch iPad Pro.
You know this is a really good point. The tab s9 or s10 ultra really fills a hole that the iPad can’t. I don’t know too many people who would want to own both, but if you do, there is definitely enough difference between the two to justify it, considering Samsung’s dex and better aspect ratio. Thanks for the comment and it’s now making me think what will become of this 13” when the new s10 tab ultra comes out…
Well, I use both ecosystems. So I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra as my daily driver and an iPhone 12 mini as my second phone. So I'm glad it made you think differently about tech options. Great video.
I did bought the iPad Pro 13 inches with 256 Gb with the m4. I have currently the m1 from 2021 and I’m a gamer. My iPad is currently lagging and I think the performance is not there anymore. At least for gaming, for RUclips and Facebook. Is fine but not for gaming anymore.
@@melvinjradornogalay I don't know about bad choice...the 1tb is quite expensive, basically an extra 600 dollars for 8gb of RAM. Unless you know if you really need it, I think 256 should be fine!
I don’t have a laptop currently but have a desktop PC that I use for design house plans and renders for my workflow. My wife has a iPad Air and I use procreate on it sometimes. I’m having a hard time deciding between 13” or 11”. I work from the coffee shop every Friday so some portability would be nice. Please help me decide!!
@@xekeys Hey there! I feel your frustration with the sizes. What kind of work do you get done at the coffee shop? A 13” iPad Pro is honestly quite portable, but I sometimes feel a bit of regret not just getting a solid 13” MacBook Air for this price, especially when I want to get some heavy work done. But for procreate, you may not need a iPad Pro, perhaps just the iPad Air? I know that’s 2 separate devices, but if you’re coming from a desktop, perhaps having a dedicated laptop might make more sense. If you’re set on an iPad Pro with it’s Magic Keyboard, then the 13” would probably be a workhorse and a great toy to carry around, although you are sacrificing some portability vs the 11”. Also the 13” screen is first class, despite any regrets I may have getting the larger one, the 13” screen always just feels superbly premium. Hope this helps a little bit!
@@gcaleblee Thanks! Well SketchUp is on the iPad so I will probably use that from time to time. But mostly just answering emails, marking up pdfs, sketching floor plans, maybe some light gaming, browsing, and sometime client presentations when on site. I’ll also use it to RDP into my desktop but I don’t think the M4 chip will increase performance there.
@@gcaleblee Thank you for the help! I decided to go with the 13" and keyboard. Went to Best Buy to try both out and could not get down with typing on the 11", felt to cramped. 13" should be here Monday!!
After my GCSEs I’m looking to buy an iPad Pro, and I’m not sure between getting the 13 inch or 11 inch, if I were to get the 11 inch I was wondering if it is worth also getting a monitor so I could use an external keyboard and mouse with the monitor and iPad while at home at my desk, but then I could just use the iPad when I’m at school for example. What do you think? Is there any point also getting a monitor, and should I go 11 inch or 13 inch?
Yeah you should go the store and play with both models I love the 11 size and portability but the 13” has more screen state and still light and portable.
Hey there, it's a good question, I haven't used the ipad pro with an external display too often, as I always had my macbook pro with the external display, but I can see how the larger monitor would help if you went with the 11". If you think you'll be using the screen a lot for work or studies, I'd say go for the 13" but if you are primarily moving around a lot and need to carry your device everywhere, the 11" might be better
Besides artists and enthusiasts, this iPad is made for 0.1% ultra user that needs this performance for their workflows. All 99.9% other people are better of with much more powerful programs on a MacBook. Even if you travel a lot, the smallest MacBook air is not much bigger and heavier than iPad with a Magic Keyboard. So idk who this device js for. In my mind, this device only makes sense if it would turn into full macOS once connected to a screen. I would buy it without blinking even once and sell my M1 14" MBPro.
@@gcaleblee exactly. Only in 10 years, when tablet-laptop hybrids are common place, and the competition forces them to do this. Why have two devices with the same expensive CPU and screen?
Interesting..,.,.the first time ive heard a guy say he wasnt happy with the extra 2 inches 😅.....note: you dont say "i returned it BACK" ..just say ...,.,. i returned it ....,.(returning "IT" is "BACK")
I agreed, I hate when people use return and back in the same sentence lol haha anyways I do have the 13 inch iPad Pro with the keypad and apple pen. I am still trying to figure out what I’ll be doing with this thing. So far I am loving it though.
