I’m kind of an iPad hater, but this is MAGICAL. - iPad Pro M4

The new iPad Pros are here and I'm afraid to say this, but they look MAGICAL. With truly incredible screens, huge performance potential, and a shockingly thin body, the only thing holding this back is iPadOS. Will Linus think this is worth the hefty price tag?

So basically:
Pros: It's the *_most powerful_* tablet on the market
Cons: It's the most powerful *_tablet_* on the market

The juxtaposition of "I love it" followed instantly by "This is so f**king stupid" was hilarious 😂

[tevii]

11:05 The transition from Maria loving the iPad to Linus calling it stupid😂

[dwarfbard]

Just a small correction for 9:57
Double tap feature is available with the previous Apple Pencil

[Tackyauto]

That editing was perfection between Maria saying she loved it and Linus straight up bagging on the keyboard 😂😂😂😂

[ThisIsTechToday]

The tone change between Maria and Linus is HILARIOUS. 😂

[--Buxtehude--]

11:04 This dramatic shift in tone is absolute GOLD!!!

[timduncan]

6:00 Really don't understand why Apple doesn't just make the whole iPad the thickness of the camera bump and then have just amazing battery life with the extra space.

[theMelvinShow]

Linus doesn‘t get tablets. This is meant to sit on your nightstand the whole day so you can watch youtube for 10 minutes before going to sleep

[TrevorNielsen]

Correction at 6:41, the USB-C port is Thunderbolt 3 / USB 4 compliant. Thunderbolt 4 certification requires support for at least 2 external monitors through the USB-C port while the M4 chip only supports a single external monitor. It's the same as the M1 and M2 iPads.

What I love about my iPad (2020 11 inch) is that it still performs pretty well in 2024. It’s like a portable smart TV with a great display that’s big enough to enjoy content while being small enough to comfortably travel with.

[Youconix]

12:38 I love that this will literally forever be the speaker test song for LTT.

[chinmaich]

"i love it" and then sudden transission to "this is so stupid" that is so funny linus 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[ilkerYT]

OK now Apple give me a Tandem OLED MACBOOK PRO ?!?!?

[GundamAngelicDevil]

I have an A12 iPad Pro and it was pretty amazing back then.
I don't have a comprehensive Apple ecosystem (my last Apple product before is the 6th Gen iPod Touch) but still using it to this date.
I'm very impressed with it still running + Pencil 2.

[stormshadow]

Part of that helium reading almost had me spit my drink out🤣

[ptaf]

I'm glad Maria stepped in, it makes sense having someone experienced with the devices for so long to share their insight

[PostTimeskipSam]

Huge props to the editor for finding the perfect clip to follow up Maria's wonderful section

ARTIST TAKE: yes, it's very expensive. no, i don't think it's a bad value.

the "pro" in the name used to be just marketing but honestly these new ones are genuinely professional level devices, prepare to pay professional prices (honestly reasonable considering the competition). even Linus said so, you simply can't get that display anywhere else. if you start looking at pen displays, they are similarly priced WITHOUT the computer, or 120hz, or OLED.

I get why people are critical and compare these to macbooks or other laptops, because cost, but it's a different tool with a completely different job. they're making very clear with the marketing this is an artist's tool, with the most advanced stylus i know of, and an insane display. you really cannot find everything it offers together, anywhere else. (literally it doesn't exist)

TLDR; this isn't a device for the average person, or even hobbyist artists, get the iPad air or a Galaxy Tab. if u need a laptop, get a laptop. this isn't a laptop and shouldn't be compared to one.

Maria's drawing was really good :)
