Before I review iPad OS, here are some early thoughts. The laptop replacement dream continues with iOS 13

iPad OS is SO good but i'm starting to doubt this tablet can ever actually replace a laptop (and I don't even think Apple wants it to)
I seriously want a 15 inch iPad Pro.
All it needs in my option is something like vm ware
Imagine being able to have a virtual machine with whatever os on it you want for specific apps
Apple doesn’t want a laptop replacement, just wants you to buy a new IPad. I have all my ripped cds and can’t put them in the Apple player, despite the new operating and file system.!!!!😬😬
I own a macbook and iPad Pro. I use both for different reasons. With the new iPad OS, I can finally accomplish the same tasks in a much more sleek, portable and fun way.
Commenting before watching the video: My guess is "a terminal".
If people want the full laptop experience they should by a (you guessed it) a laptop. If they want a touch screen laptop from apple good luck on that one.
Does anyone know what keyboard that is?
Question(s)!
A. What are those lights behind you?
B. What is that keyboard?
P.S. Your videos are excellent.
I would use the iPad as a side car, put adobe photoshop on the side car and edit photos with a pencil
I agree, I think of this is more as an adjunct ( the iPad). It is great for somethings just like the phone is great for other things just like the laptop is great for other things as well.
WHY WOULD APPLE WANT IT TO BE BASICALLY A MACBOOK WHICH IS WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE, IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AT ALL, THEY NEED SOME WAY TO DISTINGUISH THEM
Like I was saying if Apple had their professional apps for ipad their MacBooks would be useless
You have opened my mind. Thanks
Hey Dave, which keyboard is that in this video ?
hello Dave, first of all your reviews are one of the best always very clean very understandable way explanation. I have a question your opinion is very important because you are using a lot of new tech product so maybe you can help to understand what is better. Apple vs Android devices. they both have good and bad sides, Android more open platform a lot of control of you device, very good hardware very poor software implementation or good software but no update or after 1 or two year no more good futuries and updates, and in this case you feal like company says you, I don't t care about you if you want best perfomans go and buy new one. from other side Apple very clean very optimized apps, very long updates for old devices but very high price no external sd card support, so in the end what to choose great software support optimized apps or not optimized apps but technically good hardware. for example I am a food photographer and this is first time in my life that I am considering to have Apple product especially new iPad pro with iPad OS new futures but there is also Samsung Galaxy tab 6???? help please
I’m trying to decide between IPad Pro 12.9 and the new 2019 MacBook Pro. 🤷♀️
One thing I would like is a backup facility. I don't mean data as this is already there, but the ability to do a full backup to a connected hard drive rather than having to connect to a computer.
Can’t code on it, can’t use mouse, cannot add any Bluetooth controllers.
I develop in the cloud on a VPS using ssh, so in that case I'm actually happy to code on an iPad Pro – going to get the new 12.9 when it comes out in October hopefully.
A few hundred grams lighter is very important. Don’t make it sound like it isn’t!
USB-C adapter for SD Card?
Hopefully the next gen ipad will just have a built in sd card slot.
Hello Dave please help me to understand and make my choice what to buy. Will you recommend to buy Ipad pro 11 inch 64gb version? with Ipados it means that you can any time upload all your files to the external SSD drive or flash drive if you see that you are runing out of space, or you can keep all the main files in you SSD drive and with the ipad keep in your working bag or in a school bag and any time you can plug-in and watch your 25 or 30gb full hd blueray movies or pictures. or maybe this is not a case anyway i need to buy 256gb for the future that because apps geting biger and biger size????? please help me to understand
I don't tablets will ever fully replace laptops for everyone, but I don't think that they should. If tablets can be that in-between a computer and phone then it's good. Not many people need a laptop, their life doesn't require them to do daily heavy computing or even heavy typing. All the iPad needs is more USB ports. I am not an apple fan but it's hard to deny that they get tablets right. That's something that android tablets have failed in, they all feel like enlarged phones both in design and software, but strangely not in hardware. The iPad with their semi square shape made sense, no matter how you hold them, they're never too thin or too wide while having the top specs that the iPhones have. The iPad is not an iPhone that was stretched, but android is, and even though Samsung has always tried to make their tablets stand out, it's still android. Chrome OS mobile and Dex are great ideas that have arrived very late. Dex is amazing but it's tied to android, so unless google decides to go back to the honeycomb route and create updates specifically for tablets focused around Dex it'll continue to suffer on android. Tablets should be reasonably priced and shouldn't be a big phone, since phones already have a screen big enough for media consumption
dual monitor support – similar to a laptop
this is exactly the point, if iPad can do whatever thing exactly like what Mac can do, basically it kills the Mac. Apple is not stupid to do it. They suppose to compliment each other thus you buy them both.
iOS
MacOS
iPadOS
iPodOS …
Pro Stand OS!
TBH I wish Apple would just make iPadOS OSX with an iOS style UI
Great review as always. Ordered mine as a secondary device because my main laptop is too bulky to carry around. Didn't see the point in buying a "2nd laptop". File system + google suite + desktop browser support is all I need.
What is the keyboard u used in this video i love that size,May i know the model code??
Stop talking about "Video Editing"
Not everyone is a god damn YouTuber.
All I want is to run Ableton Live on this thing.
Dave you are very wrong in this, I develop apps on my 13 inch’s MacBook Pro and the 12.9 is almost 13 inches, a good programmer or developer don’t need a very big screen to develop app. You clearly don’t have any criticism, sometimes it’s okay to say well done and just give advice instead of looking for errors where there is not
2:22 "Why don't you pop out the built in kick stand?" Was running through my head as I watch on my surface pro 6. I am too sleepy to remember that the iPad Pro doesn't have a kick stand.
Excellent video! Can you please do a review on the CoverBuddy cases from SwitchEasy?
I would like to know if they’re worth it or not! Thank you 💕
I respectfully disagree with you Dave
U won't satisfy with apple whatever they do
college/university student's thought: i have a imac and i bought a windows laptop instead of ipad for working in mobility.
what i need: taking notes, type docx summaries-abstract of lectures with slide's picture or scientific research. i could use the ipad pro but it would be very painful without desktop-like app.
my advise for students is to buy a macbook air or pro 13" and to use external monitor a home (if you're on budget you can use an old montior)
Regarding the Surface comment, I rather have a great laptop that is a mediocret tablet (like you said) than a great tablet (which I suppose is the iPad) that is a mediocre laptop (if you can call it that). I have had a WIndows 8 tablet (now is Windows 10) and an iPad (with iOS), both are truly limited to what they can do, and I rather have a good smartphone and a good latptop than one failed device.
All I want from iPad os is proper mouse support with right click function and full keyboard in app support and it will be perfect
I absolutely agree with Dave in this video and actually reached this conclusion on my own fairly recently. Even though I own the 2018 11 inch iPad Pro, I decided to upgrade my old 2013 MBP to the new 2020 Air. The iPad pro is so much cooler than the MacBook Air, but it just doesn't feel like it will ever do what I want a laptop to do. I'm not a power user – I'm just a medical student. But MacOS just offers flexibility for even the simplest of tasks. Ever want to reshape a window? Ever want a YouTube video playing in the background while you work on something else? Ever want to multitask, but then realize you can't because for some reason the Gmail app still doesn't support it? iPads are tablets that are limited by design – and that's more than okay, but it just means that the iPad will fundamentally never replace laptops for me.
It is the perfect notebook for students like me. You can do all your documents and write written notes with all the benefits which would be easy to get with a contract and be able to do stuff everywhere. Even on a heathland or forest it will work if you get the cellular model.
Great review, thanks for sharing your experience with us. Based on what you did with iPad OS, Would you recommend it as a laptop replacement for someone whose daily work is mainly focused on text editing, spreadsheets design and ppts?
Just buy a laptop!!!!!
2:20 what keyboard was that? That's a nice keyboard
