iPad Pro! My Only Computer | Full iPadOS 17 Workflow!

My iPad Pro has been my favorite tech product of all time. I use it for everything from video creation to personal finance to gaming and everything in between. I wanted to show off how I use my iPad in conjunction with my iPhone in my workflow.

You are one of the few ppl that legitimately use your iPad as your main and full computer. I love listening to you as I also fall under the camp of “iPad is my only computer” camp. Keep up the videos! There are plenty of us out that that see the iPad the same way you do!

I have a windows desktop for all my gaming, but I literally do EVERYTHING else on my ipad. And that included video and photo editing. It’s incredible. I feel no need to get a laptop. And even at home, unless I am gaming I choose my ipad over my desktop when I need to get things done.

Maybe it’s a niche, but it’s crazy how much work can be done between an iPhone pro and iPad Pro for content creation. External monitor support, lumafusion, and an external ssd changed the game for my iPad Pro experience

The software still limits very simple things on the iPad, (I have the iPad Air 5 btw) for example I was taking a simple driving course online to renew my discount insurance, the program had difficulty running on certain steps with the iPad but my MacBook and even my brothers $250 windows laptop ran it without any issues.

Hey man, we appreciate you promoting the use of IPAD PRO to replace a laptop. I completely agree when you said that the iPad Pro is the best piece of tech that we will ever use.

A possible suggestion that will prevent having to constantly be switching devices is to setup a NAS with 10 gigabit eithernet+. Files supports network drives, so then youll be able to push and pull to both over the netwrok.

I swapped my husband and I both to iPad Pro after the M1 chips bounced, and for both of us it has become our everyday machines. We do work, school, entertainment, just everything on them all the time and they have all but taken over our need to have a computer usage. It is at the point where I am going back to school, purchased an MBA to replace my aging intel MBP, but have used it very sparingly because the iPads methods are so ingrained in my workflow. Not to mention Stage Manager’s updates are just better and better.

🐬Everyone on the YouTube doesn't take "iPad as a daily driver" seriously... But i suppose having options is never a bad thing, so Thanks man for all the iPad videos, desk setup n all. I love all of your iPad videos, good job. I can't comment on all videos but definitely watch em All 🙌🏼

[Padygy]

you can bypass the external SSD with a Wifi Connected NAS. granted a HDD local NAS is slower, you can get somes with a SSD. with this no need to plug; un-plug. here the only limitation is how fast your wifi is and if you want to access it away from home is youer internet speed. I use a WD MyCloud, works wonders.

I have the iPad Pro 6 12.9 with the M2 chip and think this thing is more than powerful enough to be able to dual boot iOS/MacOS. In all honesty i’m not 100% sure why Apple hasn’t done something similar to Chrome and allowed the installation and usage of iOS applications on MacOS anyway 🤷🏻‍♂️

🐬 I use my 11” iPad Pro M1 with an ASUS ProArt 24” Monitor. It’s great because for work I have a company provided Thinkpad which I can easily switch between using the monitor for the laptop or for my iPad. I think the iPad is the best modern day personal computer, and before I was using a 2013 11” MacBook Air.

I have an abundance of mac systems at home (MacBook pros, ipad pros, mac studio, etc etc), yet for some reason I just like seeing an iPad being used as a macbook. Two years ago I traveled to LA for business when my macbooks battery died. I was ‘stuck’ with my ipad pro for two weeks and it did not disappoint at all! Ever since then theres just something about iPad used in desktop setting that grabs my attention😅

[khoanguyen]

Fun fact: Did you know that you can AirDrop with cables? Just connect an iPhone/iPad with another iPhone/iPad using a USB-C cable (or a USB-C to Lightning cable) and transfer files normally. This works between Macs, too.

[davidsmith]

Thanks for your video-i use an iPad Pro for home and work…there are some apps that work better on the mac but most work really well on the ipad. I encourage my students to use an ipad as it is more intuitive and engaging for them when they are taking notes (im a teacher)

[TransplantHelper]

I’m not exactly sure how I pulled it off the other day but I actually took my iPhone 15 Pro and connected directly to my M2 iPad via a USB-C USB-C cable and it transferred directly into the loom fusion. It worked perfectly.

[patrickjohnduncan]

I have been using the M1 iPad Pro as my only personal computer since 2021 and I love it. I am also very excited about the M3 iPad Pro launching next year. It would be great if Apple allows you to upgrade RAM on the iPad Pro next year as I believe that, that would be an area that will benefit most users.

[MarkMBEMBED-zfem]

The fact he uses external keyboard and external monitor seems to go against iPad as touch device, it may work but looks like a lot of extra work. Stand-alone iPad is best for me with occasional keyboard use but it does show how versatile the iPad can be if you work at it.

[wyzemann]

That Ku Xiu stand is your best accessory…to date🌞.

[jolomeister]

Love your desk setup bro.
I am waiting 2024 for new iPad pro 11" to buy it, hope the 11" version gets oled display too.

Keep doing good work 💪🏻

[SalutMonsieurJu]

Right now, I’m using my iPad Pro M2 as my main computer, is perfect with the exception of when I’m using Google docs
