i'm not an architect but i LOVE watching your videos Henry! they're so well produced and informative, straight to the point. thanks for the tips!
I hope other people think so too! Hehe
Such a simple and on point review! Thank you for that, it was exactly what i needed to know
I'm so so thankful I found this channel bcs I'll start my m.arch this october. I've been considering to buy an ipad too (and ofc the pencil) since I want to save all my sketches in cloud instead of paper
That's awesome you found this helpful! I am excited for you on your new iPad
looking for suitable ipad and found this vid, thanks for the informative about the ipad and its variation, super helpful.
glad it helps!
specially im a student im using my ipad for my web research and finding an imformation sbout topics and history and other subject in my homeschooling and also im using this for multitasking while watching tutorials and also im using this for math exam and also for reading is really great
Thank you Joshua!
Thank you for your inputs.. I am an architect too.
Very helpful content
My pleasure Dianne!
Super helpful thanks mate
No i think your review is very technical for us architects, thank you !
great!
Your videos inspire me alot
Thank you for tuning in again Bahaa!
Great I was looking for it
You are welcome Nelva!
one note on pencil charging with old version ipads: there's adapter that came along (at least with ipad pro version, but this is really just piece of plastic, and even apple probably charge for this too much, lol), which allows you to charge from main ac charger. i rarely charge pencil from ipad itself.
if you're on budget, and need ipad realy for sketching etc, jus get second hand older 12.9 version, still runs everything without any problem (i just try 3d sketching with new updated procreate app etc).
Excellent point, I had the 1st generation iPad for many years and since upgrading there really isn’t that much of difference when it comes to drawing in Procreate.
I recently got an iPad Air 5 with the M1 chip and am very satisfied with the performance. Thanks for this.
Does procreate work ?
Only tried it in Morpholio.
im using my ipad for studying reading and editing videos and also playing a game when i got board and making some sketches on my ipad and drawing things i could emagine and also its very long battery life it last without an hour
Battery life is amazing on the iPad!
and this tablet very great value and solid device because since i had my old ipad then now his ipad is worth upgrade for me because i never got an experience on new ipad only this year but im happy and im really satisfied with this purchase this tablet is great for what i need and also you can now take a note without choosing a color and using eraser/ruler that has already complete all things and its really convinient to use than any laptop well infact this tablet was lack 60fps so i dont have to worried to play the games or watch the video all day because its super smooth and when it comes on browsing its just really fast even the other few apps that i'ved been use you will never noticing some any frame drops or laggy its just fast with a12 bionic and im really greatful and happy with it this tablet complete everything i need
Glad you made this purchase! Hope my recommendation helped.
You forgot to mention the Lidar issue, which currently in view of measuring and creating floor plans and point clouds can be a more than valuable aid for designers.
Yes, that's going to be valuable to some designers out there! Thanks for reminding me :-)
I'm so glad I found your channel! Really impressed by your presentation style and aesthetics of your videos!
I have a question here. 😊If I already have a windows laptop as my main computer, which one would you recommend between macbook air m1 and ipad pro m1 12.9?(as an architecture student)
Hi Oliver, good question! If you are already using your PC as the main latop, then maybe consider iPad for its illustration ability, especially if that’s an aspect of representation you want to use for architecture school.
@@HenryGao Thank you so much for helping me make my decision! I will definitely follow your amazing tutorials on procreate when I get my iPad hahah 😊
@@oliveramory1378 Thanks Oliver, best to your studies.
I've been using a lot of paper in schematic design phase, but now I consider buying an iPad
Nice to know I’ve inspired you!
Thank you
nice vid won my sub👍
Thanks for joining my channel!
What about civil engineer?
I’ve got an iPad with the first gen of Apple Pencil. I’ve been thinking about replace it with an iPad Pro because the display size of iPad Pro is similar with A4 paper and. Other than sketching, I sometime do some reading and that’s why I am looking for a model that suit A4 paper. Other than an iPad, I got a MacBook Pro for video editing, model building and so on. Should I replace my iPad with an iPad Pro? Or is iPad Air just fine?
iPad Air is plenty power, so you are really upgrading for more screen real estate. Because I draw ALOT, pro is better than air. Try spending sometime drawing and then reevaluate.
Is 250 gb enough for architectural work?
I am an architect please refer the best one i am using sketch book , photo shoot renders like all
I’m about to start school for interior design in the fall, does anyone have a preference between the pro and the air 4 ? I genuinely am confused as to which Would be more beneficial when doing design projects and taking notes etc. 😅
Hi Angie, get the 12.9 if you think you will be drawing a lot on it. Otherwise I don’t think you will notice that much of a difference performance wise.
@@HenryGao thank you !!!
Hey Angie, as an interior design graduate I know that most professors have preference for paper and pencil for ideation sketches as well as anything related to the preliminary design phase. They do this to make sure you’re comfortable sketching ideation for clients. I went through 4 years of schooling without an iPad and would recommend that you spend money on a good pc or windows based laptop for the software that are capable of doing high renders.
@@elainechow139 yeah it’s so much better getting the iPad Air which performs the same as the Pro model and it’s much cheaper than the Pro. You can also get a decent laptop that could handle rendering well but if y’all have the money, then why not get both the iPad Pro M1 12.9 inch along with the high end pc/laptop.
@@commentwar7949 this
what kind of screen protector do you have? There are some are good ones for sketching and others are good for viewing movies. What USB connection do you use to transport your sketches from your desktop pc to your ipad pro
Paperlike is great! I use Airdrop from iPad to Mac. I don’t have a PC.
Dear Henry, I know paperlike screen protector is great for sketching but how about watching media? Or renderings? Do you find the matt finish a little dull?
@@user-xc4eh4kp9n I believe any matt screen protector you apply on the iPad will drastically reduce the quality. That is the sacrifice you have to make in order to have a nicer drawing experience. For me, it is well worth it than drawing directly on "glass". Hope this helps.
And what about samsung tab s8 for an architect, bc i have a laptop with windows and i was thinking that maybe I could also use this tablet as a another monitor
Wish I can give you some suggestions...
I feel kind of silly. I am currently using a Surface Pro as my primary laptop and I can connect it to my extra monitors. I am truly using it as a laptop but I also want to get an iPad for Architecture school and my other classes in general. I like the idea of having an iPad for notes and sketching, but I worry about certain programs being preferable for my Surface Pro and that I should have just gotten a pen for it but I like having something for notes, something to look at. Please help. I know that I can do some programs on the iPad (mainly sketching) and others on my Surface Pro like CAD.
Having an iPad certainly will not replace your PC. It’s a nice to have in school but not a necessity unless you plan to use it for architectural drawing with procreate or morpholio trace.
@HenryGao Hi. Brother. I am just completed my architecture degree and started practicing... I'm not great with sketching and all.. Iam constantly following you around 1 yr. You r an inspiration. Now iam planning to buy an ipad for my architectural sketching and also some video editing works.. But I'm totaly confused with ipad 9th gen or ipad air 5(obviously budjet)...i pad air base varient has only 64gb of storage whereas ipad 9 256 almost close to ipad ais 5s price range. And it only supports 1st gen pencil. Can you give me a senssible suggession. Thankyou.
I would buy no less than 128gb of storage. Speed and spec is up to you. All depends what you plan to use it for
Thanks a lot!, Your Video is really Helpful! I'm studying interiors & planning to get the pro soon 🤩
However, I would like to know Is the Applecare+ necessary to buy with? Have you experienced any bending issue ? Also which screen protector would you recommend? 🥺
I have never bought Apple Care, but if you are clumsy maybe consider. Try Paperlike for screen protector! Definitely get one, it makes drawing a whole lot better.
@@HenryGao Thankyou ☺️
As a landscape architect, I wonder if I use it to draw master plan with very large images and hundreds of layers, will iPad air be overwhelmed?
It’s definitely possible maybe not hundreds of layers I think even a powerful computer it will be overloaded.
I recently discovered your channel searching for ipad and I am very glad. I am so confused. I have never used an ipad and just got Air 5 64gb to get into sketching on ipad. I found out there is a pro version and that cost a lot here in my country. I havent opened the box. Should I return it and save more money to get pro version? I am so comfused :(
I would try to see if it fits your needs before upgrading.
Hi Henry and everyone , am still confused to choose the size of iPad pro. Just need opinion, which size are more suitable for architecture purpose ? Perhaps anyone can help me on this.
Hi Abdul, this video was made so you can make that decision for yourself. What are you hoping to use the iPad for in the future?
@@HenryGao yes i like your explanation on the video. I target to get Ipad Pro for me do all architect stuff but still confused to choose 11’ or 12.9’ ?
Thanx
You are welcome!
I'll take the iPad air thanks a lot
Now the new iPad Air is even more powerful! Hope that’s the one you got.
Do you recommend the new iPad mini for an architecture students?
It's a nice form factor but don't think it will help with drawing on such small screen.
I'm a full time site architect and I always take note even standing taking pictures as well.
I'm stuck between Ipad Mini and Ipad Air.
1. Reviewing for Licensure Exam
2. Read PDFs for work
3. Take note for Work
4. Drawings in PDF
5. Sketching floor plans
6. Sending Emails
7. Take pictures and edit them during site visit
8. For vlogging
9. For watching movies and netflix
10. For casual to heavy browsing
Can't thank you enough if you can help me.
You will hate your life with a mini. Go for the air with more screen real estate.
Does ipad 8th generstion is suitable for incoming architect student like me?
Totally depends on what you want to do with it! If just drawing like me, then Yes.
Lovely! Thanks. Subscribed. Quick one - your etsy link not working, tho. Kindly look into it ASAP. Cheers.
thanks for letting me know!
I am glad I waited for the new iPad Air. Have you tried it?
Probably won't get a chance given I already own an iPad Pro 12.9". But it must be great given its M1 spec. Definitely a good buy!
@@HenryGao thank you Henry for your reply. I was wondering what bag you use when taking your iPad and other items into the field for site visit or site measurements? I am nervous taking my iPad in fear of damage.
Thank you
@@bmacias8288 Same concern! I use this from ESR amzn.to/3KxqOmw with a regular screen protector. No hardcover. I found this to be the easiest way to take out of the bag to take notes and review drawings.
wich base storage do you recommend me? I’m studying architecture
If I were an architecture student today, I wouldn’t get anything less than 128, 256 to be safe.
What do you think about that new IPad mini that just dropped
Nice but definitely too small to do anything productive.
im an architecture student which one i should buy, ipad air 4 or ipad pro im confused😫
Honestly you will be fine with either. Get the bigger screen if you like the extra real estate.
@@HenryGao thank you so much
Hey , love the vid . I ordered a iPad Pro 11 inch with the Apple Pencil . Everyone is saying to return the iPad Pro , and instead getting the iPad Air . Thoughts . ?
Oh , am planning on using the iPad for taking notes and some gaming .
Thanks! iPad Air is probably adequate for taking notes and most gaming. If $$ isn’t a thing, then keep the pro.
Pro is the way to go. Had the 11 and bought the 12.9 the next time a new model came out. So happy now.
Can you give some ideas for ipad pro 256gb or 512gb ? which one is better for architect ? Thank you
I have 128gb on my iPad Pro 12.9" and is only half full. So I don't think you need more than 256gb. But that's just how I use it - exclusively for business.
@@HenryGao thank you. I will buy new ipad pro 11" 256G
@@balathbo8541 Good choice!
@@HenryGao one question ! Between Wifi and Wifi+Cellular ? Which one is better in your experience ?
@@balathbo8541depends on how you use it. If you are always traveling and going on site visit. I’d say Cellular. Now there’s 5G, it’s even better for when there’s isn’t any WiFi.
Hi, Henry. Thank you for the info. I have an I pad air2. And I was told that apple pens doesn’t work on iPad Air… is that true?
I don’t believe so, you can check compatibility on Apple’s website too.
@@HenryGao thank you so much for your reply. I checked on the site and it starts from air 4 onwards
Also it would be nice if you can break down the iPad variations a bit more for not so tech savvy people like me 😆. I took so much time just reading to understand all the technical specs as to which iPad is better…like 12.9 inch also has so many generations out I’m being told 🙄
Would the new Ipad 10th gen 2022 do the job for interior design drawings?
More than enough
@@HenryGao Thank you for your reply. It's going to be my first ipad, but I'm on a budget so I'm very grateful that someone with experience like you gives me an advice. 🥰
Thank you so much for this video. My daughter has shown interest in the field and asked for the iPad. Would a 7th or 8th gen with 128 gig storage be enough?
Depends on what she needs it for!
@@HenryGao beginning her dive into what she thinks her carrier will be, an Architect.
Actually found a good deal on a Ipad 9th gen. She might need more later, but this should get her started
@@rabasfamily3515 it’s a great start! Good luck with her education
can you approach this topic again given the new releases?
Absolutely some day
and what about ipad 9 to draw 3D and programs like sketchup
I haven't tried it!
I have the ipad air 4. Do you think its necessary to pair it with the mac mini?
What do you mean by pair it with your Mac mini?
@@HenryGao like use them simultaneously. And connect it to the macmini.
Hi! I am an architecture student. Do u think i should get 256gb or 512 gb? I am confused
Hi Hani, that really depends on how you use it! Personally I have 128gb (only 50% full) and find it more than enough for my own needs.
Is the base 128gb storage on the iPad Pro sufficient ?
That depends. I got the 256 in case. You can always plug in an external SSD or memory card. I don't think I am every going to run out 256 for my needs.
*I'm an incoming architecture student next year, sir. Just want to know if an iPad Pro M1 12.9 can replace a gaming laptop for Autocad, or any apps that are need to use in architectural school?* 😅
Short answer is NO. iPad will not replaced your needs for an actual computer. You will need a real computer for architecture school. If you are into digital drawing, then consider buying an iPad to supplement your studies. Good luck in school!
really wish you would've included the price...
Not hard to find out
All we wanted was MactouchOS to iPad Pro not an accessory to MacBook with universal control, tablets is the future not laptops. We good if you got iPad Pro 2018 because M1 Pro superman with kryptonite belt.,
My dream too!
What about now?
I am not sure how useful the new iPad mini will be for architects given screen size.
Heading is - Which ipad to buy for Architects ? . Saw the full video. No Answer to it ☹️. Only said about camera wide angle and ended the video. ☹️
Ramesh - you are witty enough to point this out. I guess this is my long way of suggesting my audience to make that decision themselves. Sorry it baited you in to watching the entire video. Best,
@@HenryGao Bro, Please dont use words "sorry". Your video was good 👍 👌 , but only thing is i didnt get it after watching full video. Actually i am new to ipad and i purchased a new Ipad pro M1. I am searcing for how to use AR in ipad as i have purchased a new house and wanted things to be setup in my new house. Unfortunately, i didnt find a single video in YT which says clearly how to use it in ipad pro for beginners. Feels very frustrating and hence my comment in frustration. Apologises if you felt bad . I was actually frustrated searching for AR in CZcams since morning.
@@RameshKumar-ng3nf Thanks for the explanation, I don’t feel so bad now. I don’t think the the AR technology for architecture is that mature yet, maybe someone else will do a comprehensive video on that someday…could be you!
@@HenryGao Thanks a lot bro for your reply and details. Happy to see you very friendly 😊. As i am a beginner , still learning ipad , have subscribed your channel for if any ipad videos in future. Right now i am enjoying my new ipad pro M1, its feels nice fun to work with Ipad compared to a laptop😊. Have a good day !
@@RameshKumar-ng3nf thanks! Hi recently bought the magic keyboard for the iPad, which makes it even more laptop like.
****matchup that damn pencil to your model
