I finally upgraded to one this past weekend. I love it. Now to learn photo & video editing so all this power doesn’t go unused…

I think this is your best YouTube video ever. Your pacing is amazing, you’re editing is unparalleled, your confidence is inspiring… you are just doing GREAT. Looking forward to following you over the next 10 years… or more. Now let’s talk about the elephant in the room. It’s downloading video from all your devices onto the iPad. Give us a tutorial on the best way to do that.
Remember our leader leads by leading…. and we so want to follow you. Keep up the great work.

I have the 11’ Ipad Pro and love it. Not a power user but run my life thru it. I use the Logitech Combi keyboard which is convenient, less expensive and works quite well. Got the Pro to stay future proofed. I’m sure the IPad Air would be quite good for my use too but the M1 will keep my options open should I need to do more powerful applications.

After graduating, I switched from an M1 MacBook Pro to the 11inch iPad Pro with a pencil. Yes I could’ve kept my MacBook for years and years but the portability of the iPad beats even the most compact laptop. I wish it had a mini LED display but Pro Motion and the Pencil versatility make up for it

One year later and it's still...just an iPad. A glorious, beautiful, well designed piece of technology, but still, just an iPad. But I don't necessarily think that it has to be a bad thing. I owned the 2020, 12.9" iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard, and fell for Apple's "what's a computer" tagline, as did many others out there. I quickly came to realize, that as much as Apple would like to market this as a computer, it really can't replace a traditional laptop for those that need full desktop computing needs.

I LOVE my iPad, but I also needed a true computer for my needs so I ended up selling the 2020 iPad Pro, and bought a M1 Macbook Air and a M1 11" iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard and now, I'm satisfied. Between the new Universal Control feature heading our way soon outside of beta, and the fact that I can easily throw my 11" iPad Pro into my purse for days when I need mobile computing, I feel like I've got the best ecosystem for my needs. The only thing I am looking for now, and I hope to see coming this year, is Apple to come out with their own monitors again. Preferably something that looks like the new colourful iMac's. Then I'd set up a desktop area, but right now, don't need - I'm happy to use my Macbook Air for that desktop usage and the iPad Pro for mobility.

But - I think it's important to note that I think Apple has moved away from marketing it as a one and done device, and I think they've smartly marketed it as a supplementary device. The hardware is leaps and bounds better than every other tablet on the market, but the software...the software holds it back. But I think we can all agree at this point, that this is an intentional holdback. Apple does not want it to replace your need for a full computer. They want you to have as many products in the Apple ecosystem as possible.

The M1 iPad Pro is the first ipad I’ve ever owned, i was mainly an android guy but switched over to apple due to work conveniences. But lemme tell you, this is probably the best tablet I’ve ever used. The fluidity, productivity, power, in this tablet is sweet. And on top of that, all the cool gadgets you can pair with it is awesome!

As a tattoo artist and a youtuber I use my iPad Pro almost everyday for things like tattoo design with procreate, script typing, and consumption of video occasionally. I could not imagine my life without it at this point. Great video dude. Hope you are well.

[ehhjeep]

I got mine solely for my woodshop. I am very happy with being able to draw up ideas and designs on it with the pencil and magic keyboard. Yes, I spent a ton of money on it. Worth it in the end.

I got my iPad Pro M1 12.9” in January and I am absolutely loving it! I use it almost every day and it’s my go to outside my apartment. (Even though I own a MacBook Air.)

It’s hilarious how i just got into ur channel today and found the video i wanted to see uploaded 10 mins ago

The m1 iPad is future proof, but runs into the limitations of the software. The 12z chip still performs as good as the m1. Maybe the m1 is a little faster with small things that really wouldn't* bother anyone. I just got the iPad mini lol I'm about to sell everything else haven't turned it on since.

Just got my iPad pro 11" and I love it so much omg

Love my M1 iPad Pro 11. I am a Realtor and Property Manager, and my iPad Pro has completely replaced my MacBook Pro as my business device. The iPad Pro is literally the perfect computer for what I do.

It was an easy decision for me to get rid of my 2019 MacBook Pro(hated the dang ribbon bar). I got the new M1 Mac Mini with 16gb ram for desktop, and a new 11" M1 iPad pro for my mobile purposes. I chose the 11” because the screen is big enough for doing work on, but still super portable. Paid less for the two of them together than I did for just my MBP. It's the perfect setup for me. I create and work with contracts, pdf's, and documents on a daily basis. It is so much easier, convenient, and more intuitive to use the iPad for the work I do. In fact, I would go so far as to say, in my opinion the laptop is limiting and cumbersome compared to the iPad Pro for the type of work I do. Jeeze, even the camera on it is good enough to use for most of the photos I need for a property listing. It streamlined my workflow, and has definitely made my work more fun.

Cloud storage is cheap nowadays, as is fast external storage. I got the M1 iPad Pro 11 with 256gb, but have 2TB iCloud+ for $10 month, 1TB of cloud storage with MS Office 365 and OneDrive. I also have 2TB of Google Drive storage for $10 a month. On top of that, I have a couple of external 1TB USB C SSD's, and a few USB 3.1 512GB flash drives. So, storage is not a problem. It easily runs any of the realty apps I need to use, so only 8gb ram is no problem. And, it has the same M1 processor the 1TB and up models have, so power is also not a problem.

Don't have the magic keyboard but bought the Logitech Combo Touch and I love it. I also bought a Logitech MX Anywhere 2s mouse, and an Apple Pencil 2, both of which are the best. I have a few choices for carry. First, is a small traditional laptop case with many zippered compartments. Second is a nice REI sling bag with lots of pockets and storage. Last is a small REI backpack with even more pockets and storage than the sling. I can carry all the accessories I need with any of my carry choices.

Working with a product that you like to use is an important key in business. No need for a dedicated camera or scanner anymore. I also use it for handwritten and typed notes, daily planning, task management, to-do's, email, web browsing, phone calls, messages, entertainment, reading books, play an occasional game, and the list goes on. I use a bunch of realty specific web apps and services but have a few others that I really like.

For note management I use Notes, OneNote, GoodNotes, and Noteful. I also use a Paperlike screen protector and my Apple Pencil 2 for a natural writing experience. For document management I use MS Office, and PDF Expert. For file management I use Files, iCloud+, FileBrowser, Tonido, OneDrive, and Google.

Now that I have used the iPad Pro for work, there is no going back to a laptop. The Apple ecosystem is the best. Everything just talks and works with each other seamlessly. As of right now, I have the Apple TV 4K/AirPod Pros/Apple Watch Series 6 44mm/iPhone 12 Pro Max 512GB/M1 iPad Pro 11 256GB/M1 Mac Mini 16GB RAM/256GB SSD/2019 intel i9 2.3ghz 16gb 512gb 16" MacBook Pro(sold).

Really cool having an all in one that’s easy to use and light to carry for your business and personal needs. I will admit that iPad OS still has a way to go but has certainly come a long way from its humble beginnings. Been using Apple products since the mid 90’s. My first Apple computer was a Macintosh Color Classic in 1994. I am so glad Steve came back and saved Apple from the imminent death it was facing in 1997 and brought it back to the Apple we all know and love today. I'll admit that I actually cried when Steve Jobs passed away. Can't believe it's already been 10 years.

I love my M1 12.9”. My workflow with video meetings and the MagFlött magnetic stand makes it super great for productivity. Almost replaces my laptop in most cases.

[YaretziaGarcia]

I still have mine, a 12.9 inch 512GB model I use it in tandem with my new M2 Pro MacBook Pro 16” I used my iPad Pro at school and work, my MacBook is reserved for at home mostly and when I travel out of town.

[jamesherrera]

I love my iPad 12.9 m1 chip it’s a beast and awesome too use, I’m on it everyday after work.

[datapenguin]

[javedhosein]

I bought the M1 iPad Pro 12.9 16gb ram and 1tb of storage and I love it

[ajosepi]

I have always felt that tablets were the wrong size for me until I got the 12.9". I draw on it and it doesn't feel cramped like everything else I have used. It's not perfect, but it's a pretty good tablet.
