I purchased my 13 inch M4 iPad Pro with the Magic Keyboard and new pencil pro exactly one week ago. I love it. From the superior display, to the.lightening fast browsing on line and enjoying content- this is the ultimate device. The Magic Keyboard is such an improved upgrade over the previous Pro generation- you have to use it and experience it. I also have the 11 inch M2 IPad Pro which is great and capable, and still even use my 7 year old 10.5 inch iPad Pro. I am a huge iPad Pro fan. For me, I don’t need to purchase a Macbook or a PC. I have everything I need with my iPad Pro’s.

The main issue, and there are quite a few others, is the browser issue on iPadOS. No matter which browser you use on an iPad, you’re stuck with Apple WebKit, meaning some sites just aren’t compatible. I have one site that I use daily as a part of work that will not work on an iPad. I love the iPad, but it continues to be a companion device to my MacBook Pro. It simply can’t handle the work I need it to, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

I love my M4 iPad 13” with nano glass. The only thing it can’t to is code on it. But that’s why I have Google Colab+. I just wish the iPad had better multitasking.

I have rarely agreed with a Youtuber as much as I do with you. Everything you say has been my thoughts for a long time. Thanks bro. And if you talk about "holding magic in your hands" it's not pathetic, it's the truth. I can feel it every time I hold my 13 iPad in my hands.

Yes. My M4 iPad Pro 13 inch has replaced my MacBook completely. I love using my iPad much more than my MacBook. I find myself using the iPad more. I am also your average consumer.

Mate, tell me what is different from the M2 iPad Pro, what is it that all of sudden you can do now that you couldn’t do before, the thing is still an iPad not more, not less. The M4 iPad Pro is crippled by its subpar operating system. What we need is not a thinner, faster, more prettier iPad, but a desktop class operating system for the iPad. I had a high hopes before the new iPad was released, but now I am totally disillusioned. I do think that WWDC will bring a lot of AI bullshit like customizable emojis but no significant improvements for iPadOS or even MacOS on the iPad. And by the way, the MacBook Air is more portable because “for most” people the iPad Pro goes along with the Magic Keyboard and the Air is still lighter than that package. When the first magic keyboard launched in 2020 a lot of Mac users that wanted to use the iPad more gave a lot of upfront credit to the iPad, and Apple did everything to make us believe that they have bigger plans with the iPad but the only thing that we got so far was trackpad support and a half baked stage manager. This is not enough for a well over a 1200$ iPad Pro in a laptop configuration. I don’t think that tandem OLED and a thinner body will save the iPad Pro if Apple doesn’t drastically improve the software.

For software development, MacBook Air any day. Otherwise I think the IPad would be like two devices in one as a daily user.

Love my iPad Pro M4 13 inch. Use it way more than my MacBook Pro M3 Pro

[carriegordon]

Thanks for another great video! I think this is going to replace my MacBook. For my use, It does everything I need it to and this screen is amazing!

I upgraded from a 11" 2018 iPad Pro to the 13" M4 iPad Pro which replaces my MacBook Air as my daily driver. The only thing I can't do on it is the occasional bit of software development which I do on my Windows PC. However, I just RDP to the Windows box from my iPad Pro - works really well for me.

the oney thing that they still need to work on is the files app on the device more like the Mac and put a real cursor on it but a good device

Just ordered the 1TB + cellular M4 iPad Pro ... I'm pretty sure Apple will discontinue making the MacBook Air as there is just no point to it. I can use iPad Pro M4 for work (Citrix to any device on any OS). I can use iPad Pro M4 for audio creation via Logic for iOS (fully featured including plug-ins). I can do multiple monitor support with iPad Pro M4 thanks to USB-C. With cellular I don't have to tether to anything so I can work anywhere with one single device. It plays games with excellent visual quality. It can do video creation also much faster than current Mac or MacBook. Watch Netflix HDR movies or Prime. It's incredible easy to carry around. Excellent battery life and no big chunky chargers. But for those curious, definitely go with the 1TB or 2TB as you get more CPU cores and faster. I would avoid getting the "nano glass" upgrade, IMHO it's a downgrade as it reduces clarity and brightness. BTW, I'm primarily a Windows PC guy, but have always had Apple devices in some form or another ... but this is the first time Apple have produced a device to completely replace my laptop.

Can you now format an external storage device with a iPad or do you still need a MacBook for that task?

[robsonpipe]

Fully agree ... my iPad Pro M4 13 inch (1TB) fully replaced my 15 year old MacBook Pro and I'll not miss the MacBook. However, I was never a hardcore content creator and was also mainly using my previous iPad Pro 9, 7 inch for content consumption and partly for photo editing or video cutting as the main device. Is the new iPad Pro M4 I bought worth the money ... most probably not for that usage I need it for. But is it a beautiful peace of engineering? Definitely yes and that is why I was ready to buy it and it will definitely open my mind and motivation to explore new areas of usage.

Greta vid. I use my iPad Pro M4 as my mobile device with iMac on my desk. I create complex documents and perform advanced stats analyses without any hiccups. iPadOS and stage manager works wonders for me.

Quite an interesting video with an unexpected end result.As a mechanical engineer and industrial designer, I am on the PC side with my laptop and custom built water cooled dual-display workstation PC's.I am in the Apple ecosystem with my Apple Watch, Apple Watch Ultra, iPad Pro and Apple iPhone.The M4 iPad Pro cannot replace my laptop of desktop PC's as the professional engineering software is not available on the iPad.The M4 iPad Pro however can occasionally replace my laptop when I am editing drone inspection photos for clients for my drone photography and videography business.The ultimate answer as to whether the M4 iPad Pro can replace a person's laptop/desktop in their respective workflow is, it depends on what they are doing.The limiting factor to realizing the power of the M4 iPad Pro and all previous iPad Pro iterations is iPad OS.The iPad Pro will have a larger spectrum of use if and when iPad OS becomes more feature rich.

I bought the iPad Pro 13 inches M4 three weeks ago. Love it❤

[irandude]

I wonder if there is a bumper that would protect the edges on this. My M2 iPad has a dent on the corner as I dropped it.

[jimtipton]

I love my iPad and use it more then my MBP, but there are still things that limit my experience of the iPad. Example, try to create a list in Contacts vs creating a list in Contacts on the Mac. The iPad falls way short. Same with Smart lists in Mail on the iPad. That feature doesn’t even exist. I have to keep the MBP around just for certain things like this, not to mention I like to have multiple screens with multiple streams going and the iPad isn’t the preferred option for that either. Even with those caveats, I still prefer the iPad as my daily carry.
