I Bought the ''Cheapest™'' M4 iPad Pro...should you?

Today let's check out and buy the latest greatest iPad Pro. It's certainly pricey, but is the software worth the rocket chip hardware?

I absolutely meant iPod nano, I can’t believe I said it and then didn’t catch it when editing. 😅

I’m waiting for the iPad Mini 7 before deciding on anything just yet

[minuszero]

People splurge on TV’s for the display quality alone, no different here. MacBook Air with pedestrian LCD or ‘the most advanced display ever made’ with touch input and ability to detach from keyboard.

I've ditched all forms of laptops in favor of tablets and this ipad generation will be my next huge bump up from my ipad 9th Gen.

[Niles-Guy]

Agreed the iOS needs to incorporate Mac OS system when docked . The M4 is powerful enough to do both os

I’m an engineer by day, MDiv master’s degree student by night. iPad Pro has been the only computer I’ve used for more than 5 years and it’s met all my needs and then some. It also serves as my library for my books for my courses, makes reading and research papers very easy to read/write. Can’t recommend it enough!!!

I've own the 2018 11inch iPad Pro since it was released, kept pushing off upgrading because it worked fine for what I use it for (content consumption/amateur drawing) but after getting a 14 pro a couple years ago and being able to use an OLED screen for the first time as well as having a 16 inch MacBook Pro with an XDR display, getting myself the new 11inch 256gb iPad Pro was a no brainer for me

[shawnhudgins]

I currently have the 11 inch M1 iPad Pro. Don't think I will be upgrading this time around.

I ordered the 13 inch 1TB. My current iPad is the 3rd gen. And it has served me well till the last couple years. So I figure it’s time. Got the 1TB because I camp off grid and out of cell range a lot and carry a lot of content with me. And it was crazy expensive! But figure if I get 10 years out of it like my last one then it’s worth it.

As a content consumer and not a creator, I'm no longer the target market for an iPad Pro anymore. Which is a shame, because OLED would be great for movies etc. But my current iPad Pro is happy because I'm going to buy it a new case as it's going to be around for a few more yearrs now😅

[mylensofview]

I’m gonna get me an iPad Pro 11”. I personally feel uncomfortable bringing my MacBook Pro to edit photos on the spot, when I can just bring an iPad for that sole purpose of editing on the go, but be more comfortable to where it’s not like having a feeling of bringing a heavier device just for editing. Having a iPad will also make my Apple ecosystem more accessible, but that’s a small reason for it.

[SavedbybGrace]

I just ordered the M4 11 inch model. I don’t care about the cost. I also have an MBP M3 Max and latest Studio Display.
And… I’m typing this on the M1 iPad Pro which I’m gonna flick.
I use the iPad almost exclusively to surf the web. Really, I just like the idea of the OLED display and I’m into staying with the latest tech. Additionally, while I have enjoyed the 12.9 inch display of the iPad Pro the 11 inch is a better fit for me.

[JonAdamsTech]

I'm still so disapointed that there's no iPad mini, what the heck apple?!

I recently sold my M1 iPad Pro to a friend going to physician assistant school, and I was sorely missing my iPad Pro for note taking/planning in GoodNotes; document scanning and signing and media consumption. I have the M1 MacBook Pro 14” and while it does all the same things, I do miss the touch aspect of my iPad as well as cellular connectivity while I’m out of the house and I don’t want to use public WiFi. I pre ordered the 13” silver in 256GB with the Apple Pencil and the Magic Keyboard.

[nyanko]

In EU, the base 13" without any accessories is 1569 euros, which is just super expensive. I'm on a fence. Going to check benchmarks and stuff before getting it.

[SpaceCaptainLord]

I actually went the opposite direction, sold my iPad Pro M2 and bought a refurbished M1 MacBook Pro. No regrets here.

[dockbc]

Thanks to Samsung for the beautiful ipad displays.

[billyraibourn]

I have the 9.7" iPad Pro and looking at an upgrade with this iPad Pro. Looking forward to the unboxing.

[VictorGarcia]

I used college discount and ordered the iPad Pro 11 base model in silver for $899. I traded in my iPad 11 pro m2 with 256GB. Down was $85 and. 12 month 0% at $35.

[GameCubeGuru]

I pre ordered the iPad Pro 13inch 1TB. no magic keyboard (I don't want to be carrying a keyboard all the time especially when I don't use it) but I got the one from Logitech. no Apple Pencil that's trash. 2K on an iPad tho...yea I was looking at a Mac but tbh building a PC will always be better than a Mac. when is comes to a PC I wouldn't buy a Mac you are also limited to how other apps and programs run on Mac. and lets be real gaming on a Mac SUCKS!!
