If you always use it with a keyboard you're better off with a MacBook air, and 60hz is dog poop if you use touch often.
Ive been looking at countless reviews and reddit posts because Im an artist and I think an Ipad would fit for me really well. Im stuck between the Ipad 2022, air 5 and this one, because the only thing I'm gonna do on this is draw, like I'm not gonna do any tasks that's gonna be difficult on my device. But at the same time I really want a good Ipad, since Ive never had Ipads and I want my first purchase to be a good experience.
My dilemma is that I want the pro but don’t want to spend that much. What are your thoughts on the differences if I were to upgrade to the Air from a 2020 Pro. I’ve been thinking I’m at the point where the new Air with the M2 is a decent upgrade from the A12z Bionic 🤷♂️? My iPad works fine, I don’t feel it’s that slow and don’t recall it crashing unless it’s an Adobe app. Overall it works and I don’t feel I need to upgrade but the battery all isn’t lasting. What are the benchmark differences between the A12z and M2? And does the Apple Pencil 2nd gen work on the new Air or would I have to get the C-Pencil or Pro Pencil?
Is this compatible with the 2nd gen apple pencil?
Well, you don’t really need a keyboard if you don’t do a lot of typing. I’ve had an iPad since the first one and have had nearly every version of the Pro besides the M2 and now with the 13 inch Pro, I finally got the new keyboard and it’s definitely an adjustment compared to using the iPad without an attached keyboard, or using a MacBook.
But people will think I’m poor if I have the air
As a middle ground it should have had the m3
Better to get a Macbook Air if you want to do anything light SOHO like tasks. For consuming the NET and multimedia choose the cheapest normal iPad. If Apple would make a 13 inch iPad almost everyone will buy that, not the Air or the Pro. They are too limited and way too expensive. The Ipad is very very far away from replacing even the worst weakest cheapest laptops.
I'm going with the 13 inch iPad Air M2, also with the MagicKeyboard a the Pencil Pro. This 3 devices I have ordered on the weekend. I think that the 13 inch iPad ist a good Prosumer device. Thank you for this review of the iPad Air 13 inch and the recommendation. It will complete and fit perfectly with my MacBook Air M2 2023. For me traveling I think that is a good combination.
Can you trade in to aple if the screen is crack but everything work fine? Thanks
One thing I find very disappointing is that it could be at least 90 Hz .. at very least the 13 inch model
Why not just get a Macbook? Looks to me like you’re just using the iPad for laptop tasks, but in a less optimal way. 😂
If you’re to get the air or pro… yooo believe me if you already got the iPad 12.9 M2 please don’t get the m4 cus now u just like to spend😂 the IPad 12.9 should be better than any iPad except the news one .. m4 iPad is just over kill and has too many unnecessary features which it’s more expensive but pointless to upgrade (that’s if u got the m2 pro ) so any Air vs pros definitely go for the pros cus of better performance, audio, sound and so much more.
Had to send mine back because of the infamous loose, wiggly TouchID issue.
And Apple doesn’t make the process easy for a Day1 fault.
Am now stuck with no iPad for at least two weak when I ordered Day1.
Bummer, since the 13 iPad Air is a great feat of tech for once.
Apple’s QC and CS are not what they used to be.
60 Hz for that kind of money? No thanks. 😉
currently in the uk the 13" air is £799 and the iPad pro 2022 is around £1k (brand new)… renewed you can get it slightly cheaper… personally it might be best to wait a month or two and you will probably be able to get the iPad pro 2022 for a similar price to the iPad Air – you will get a better screen, addition camera, lidar, face ID, plus thunderbolt 4 — you will get more for your money
the iPad Air is essentially the same as the previous model — M1 is still more than enough so unless you really need the camera in a new position and really need 13" you can save and get last gen iPad air
The 13" is priced slightly too high for what it is… and the pros are stupidly priced — unless they put macos on the iPad (which they wont) or they vastly improve pados so it can run desktop apps then the M4 is too much power
You can still get a laptop that has an OLED 120hz display with a decent processor, 16gb of ram and at least 512 gb of storage for 800 usd. Tablets at that price range for regular work like typing documents and watching media doesn’t make sense, the only tablet option I would consider is Samsung’s s9 tablet line
Any one any idea for substitute of apple pencil on Amazon
Buy an M2 iPad Pro
Wait… touch ID? How did I not know this? Byeeee, ipad pro!
This is the iPad I would choose if I wanted a new iPad right now: however, my 2018 iPad Pro still works fine, and for travel etc I have found the iPad mini is the best iPad
Boring iPad
If the MacBook was touch screen, pen assessable and keyboard removable the iPad would be obsolete. iPad Air and pro are more for content creators, designs, graphic designers, artists , illustrators and the need to use the pen etc… other than that is not worth the price. It can’t fully replace a computer. If you want to get the pro because of the Oled display there are laptops with Oled display for half the price.
I'm getting my new 13 tomorrow. I just found out yesterday that I needed to get a new AP. By the time you add it all up it's a lot. I am trading in my AIR 4 for $255, so I guess there is some redemption there. lol. I defiantly recommend that people check out videos hopefully yours) on the devices and understand what your getting, (and not), so they can make an informed decision. The 13 looks like a good upgrade for me. Going from 11 to 13 and more memory is really going to help me. Good job.
They keep new pencil and keyboard exclusively for pro …selling tactic
Dolby surrounded sound?
Imo tuchid is a better option
60hz in 2024 is criminal
Ipad doesnt have enough ram to run any ai task!!
Thank you! As a musician, I've been using iPad as a portable sheet music library – powered by ForScore app (some use UnrealBook, but ForScore in fact has become the industry standard). I started off with a used iPad Pro 12.9 Gen 2 (with the Home button), then got a 2022 512Gb, and ever since was dreaming of a time when Apple would make a large iPad that isn't Pro, because I don't need all that horsepower of the latest Pro to turn pages in PDF docs + make annontations with Apple Pencil. Sure, getting a Pro makes it potentially more timeproof, but the usage mode also means it might need a replacement sooner than most users' iPads (I am a careful user, but life happens). So for me getting a used or refurbished 12.9" iPad Pro was the only viable option. In fact, last year I got a second iPad (2021 256Gb) to pair the two machines via Cue app (a ForScore extention) for dual-page mode. Now I will let these two machines work as long as they do, and my next move will be either this Air or a used / refurbished previous generation Pro. That said, if Apple ever produces an even larger size iPad, I will take that, for my eyes.
Traded my MacBook Pro intel (2020) for this beauty. You the man!!!!
(EDIT: paid the difference lol)
I think I'll wait for the next ipad pro release. And buy the m4 ipad pro for a lower price.
No function keys on the air keyboard and I’m not prepared to pay laptop money for the PRO with IPad OS, so Apple end up with no sale, I’ve had a Pro but the limited multitasking while trying to edit documents I’m afraid too time consuming.
My iPad Pro 3rd gen M1 is still perfect. Easier to unlock with face id😃
Pretty good video. That was my thoughts right up to the point we’re I looked at the air and pro side by side and the image quality of the pro is amazing by comparison plus you get a bigger memory and other features. Considering I have had my current pro since 2015 I think over that time it’s worth the extra money. So my advice if your going to buy the air then don’t look at the pro. But if you use it a lot and keep it for a good number of years then buy the best. But of course it depends on your budget.
What is the difference between the landscape speakers on the iPad Air and my old iPad 10.5 with four speakers?
Does the iPad Air have 4 micro speakers? My old iPad Pro 11inch has 4 micro speakers because I listen to music and educational material on YouTube.
I have ipad pro 2017 2nd gen, working good. I use it for study only. But i want to upgrade to enjoy the newest features. I like M2 ipad pro but I just tempted towards the pencil pro. What should i do…?
Is this a good iPad for writing a novel?
How come every YouTuber misses the Smart Keyboard Folio for iPad it’s even in the Apple Store
I’m wondering about the upcoming AI features… That would make me go for a Pro or a MacBook…
11 inch is fine for me
I am commenting on my m2 iPad Air and it’s great
How is about 60hz? It good for gaming?
anyone else watching on their 13” iPad air?
This helped me a lot actually.
I bought the iPad pro 12.9” M2 1TB 16MB ram and I bought the iPad Air 13” M2 1TB 8MB of ram and I have to return 1 of them unopened to the corporate store so this video told me what I needed to know.
I wanted a laptop replacement for my new job. This video helped me a lot to decide without opening them both. I don’t use the cloud, I store on device the nature of my business I don’t want it hacked in the cloud.
I’m not tech-y at all. I wanted a replacement for my outdated laptop and this helped me save roughly $750.
For that, thank you.
My friends keep telling me I spent on tablets, keyboards, pencils the equivalent of a used car so I’ll return the pro and accessories.
Planning to purchase this week. Is it okay to buy off brand magnetic keypad.
