1 minute in and already suscribe. I think you nailed not only the content, buy how you conveyed it as well. Nice!
Funny - I was 2 minutes in before I subscribed. Then I read your comment…
Yeah, his vibe totally hooked me in!
Lmao me too
3 min for me lol

Great to know there are creative pros like you who still use the old devices and not upgrade every single year!
I had a 10th gen iPad czcams.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA . Felt it getting pretty slow at times even after doing a reset. So I am using that as a tablet for my 5 year old son and got this 9th gen version. MUCH faster, a little slimmer, smaller bezels, all around a leap forward. Plus, for the price that’s about $130-$150 cheaper than a current new model this is a nice deal. I look forward to the M-series CPUs coming into iPads which will really help future proof these tablets better but these latest CPUs are pretty strong and should do better to last several years with no compromises.
Halfway through the video, looked down at your subscriber count and my jaw absolutely dropped. I don't usually comment, but your videos, quality, editing and script is just chef's kiss. Keep this up, your will for sure blow up. You were made for this. Wishing the best for you!!!
Too nice. I didn't see your comment till now. I'll mention in next video.
wait how much did he have??
love your content ,its refreshing to watch a tech youtuber that isn't only talking about specs and basic stuff. you deserve more subs!
I enjoy watching your content. Refreshing to watch a tech youtuber that's not only talking about specs.
I’ve gotta say probably the best tech video I’ve seen all year.
absolutely nails every thought I had about the iPad - subscribed
The production quality of the videos is on par with any top tech youtuber and you convey the information very well but what I've noticed that separates your content from other tech youtubers is that you have a certain comedy aspect that keeps the video engaging and fun to watch.
I love the subtle Goldilocks and the Three Bears reference!!!
You’re funny as hell. I like the way you explain things. Just ordered the 2018 1 tb iPad Pro, this made it easier
This was a Great video!!
The entertainment value alone was worth my time!!!
Great reactions to the comparison speeds… lol
I spent much more time watching videos like this then I would ever save by difference in processing
oh man I've got the same 2018 13" iPad Pro… and I was thinking the same when they introduced the newer versions a couple of months ago. This thing still feels smooth as butter, can edit 4k video without any issue… Also, love the sense of humour in the video!!
Yeah. I saw tests between video editing and there's barely any difference with m1. But surprisingly the lightroom photography tests made a huge difference.
My 2018 IPad Pro is now needing a new cover stand….wore it out….so bought new cover and plan on giving this 2018 IPad Pro to my daughter then buy the new 2024 iPad pro
@@billnipp. I’m glad yours old one is going good. Mines nearly 7 years and I’m having problems big time. Changed the battery, but still draining big time and switching off regularly for no apparent reason. I think there’s an LED one coming next year.
@@thesamuelnamI bought an M2 iPad Pro to replace my 2018 iPad Pro about a year ago whenever the M2 came out, but I also went to the M2 12.9” from the 2018 11” so it was kind of worth it for that reason - Only issue I have is my iPad Pro 12.9 and Surface Pro 9 are competing in the same space some of the time, even if there are things only the iPad can do, and only the Surface Pro can do I feel a bit wasteful having both
Great video! Was thinking the same, but there is significant difference between these models while editing multiple 4k video feeds. For other 99% of use cases there is absolutely no need to upgrade.
Yeah I definitely fall into the 99%. Going from my 2018 to trying an M1 pro, it just felt like the M1 just couldn't stretch it's legs enough to make sense. Like being given the keys to a bugatti and only being allowed to drive it around the parking lot
Perfect tool for most every day tasks
Thank you for the awesome video! I'm at the time of the year where all my macbook pro and ipad needs an upgrade but it's good to see that it still holds out pretty well!
Awesome, made me laugh out loud when you ran back for camera 😂.. just subscribed 👍
You’re gonna be big one day.
Glad I found you early!
Awesome videography mate
Subscribed. Love to see positive Apple content
great video! the review was good but also super entertaining! new sub
Such a good video! When you did the comparison video i knew it was over. Loolol i woulda bought the latest BECAUSE. You put in your time and you already are a success now. Subbed my brotha!!
This was a great video explaining the iPad! Thanks!
How tf you don’t even have 1k subs. This is top tier production, really amazing stuff!!
(Sent from my 2017 iPad Pro 12.9, still rocking solid, just doesn’t support DaVinci Resolve 😞)
The production values on this video are insane btw. You can tell what you do for a day job- and how well you do it.
Great review and great comedy, all wrapped into one! Thank you!
Thanks for the vid ! I'm a character designer, working in the animation industry and its been ages since i wanted an ipad but wich one ? For real i felt so overwhelmed and lost with all of those models, years, generations yada yada and the prices OMG ! I just need something powerfull and smooth enough to be able to draw anything, anywhere. You convinced me to buy the 2018 ipad pro !
Still using my 2018 11” Pro, and no complaints. Haven’t upgraded yet, cause it still works great. Have an M1 Max laptop and it’s definitely the best laptop experience I’ve had, and the tablet has been the best tablet experience I’ve had.
Nice. We're both rocking the same thing. M1 max 16 with 2018 iPad pro 11.
I'm making a Tab s9 vs iPad pro 2018 right now. Planning to keep one.
@@thesamuelnam imho / there’s lots of good stuff out there and it comes down to people use case, and preferences. The apple stuff works together really well, so after trying quite a few other devices/brands, this is the set up I landed on. Other commenters have mentioned, but I’ll say it too, the m2 iPad Pro with “Hover” for the pencil, is a pretty compelling reason to upgrade, especially if digital art is what you do primarily with it.
You have a new subscriber and I suspect a whole load more coming soon! Really slick video, entertaining, informative. Look forward to seeing more videos! (I also have a 2018 iPad Pro 11" and use it every day, it still holds up! Not worth upgrading until there is a big enough jump in performance and features.... and maybe a landscape camera...
incredible video! I have a secondhand iPad pro 2018 11 inch and it's a great machine! The only app that let me down was da Vinci resolve, but the minute you open the app it tells you that it was design to work specifically with the M1 chip and above. So even though it broke on me and had bugs, it was no surprise. I'm not yet a professional video editor so I will keep up editing on my Linux notebook. To be true one content creator that I follow recommended that is better using the desktop app to learn after having practiced a lot you use the iPad version. It was great watching you, just subscribed.
Great video mate! Just subscribed
Maaan, I just fall in love 8tlnto this dinamical storytelling style, scenes with iPad and MacBook in your hands or when you day that you don't have new iPad for compare and then make a phone call in the frame next moment. That's amazing, Love it! 😂😂😂
Definately Subscribe!
this is the best tech video I've watched in a while.
so human. thank you!
Brooo, too kind mate. Pumped to make more.
Hey Samuel, just wanted to say that the vide was really informative and direct to the point. Great content man keep it up
This cracks me up and informative video too! Great job sir.
My 10.5 iPad Pro still works beautifully. The only thing I miss is the availability of cases but that’s so minimal, so I’ll upgrade when this dies
Great video
I have a first gen 11” iPad Pro and this video was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Awesome content!
I mostly use my iPad Pro only for Art. A good animation software would make it a good improvement.The additional power really a big improvement, since I mostly only use Procreate and ArtStudio Pro. And these apps really benefit from the extra speed. And dont mention the hover feature...
do you have iPad Pro 2018 for using Procreate? My one and only goal to have iPad Pro is to have Procreate, but I dont want to give out such a lot of money. Many thanks for your kind reply!
@@edwardfenyesgyorgy265 yes. I do use procreate. I own a 2018 iPad Pro. But I use it for simple illustrations and not for anything complicated. Since there is a limitation on the number of layers you can add.
Watching on my 2018 12.9. Got it refurbished in 2019 one of the best apple purchases I ever made. Just wish it got external support!
3:00 😂I always imagining this is how CZcamsr capture such footage ! And is hilarious u actually included it!
Very nice video. Surprisingly good. Not talking about the iPad lol. Subscribed
I have the same one. Can't bring myself to upgrade because it still works perfect and isn't slow.
Give you a like cause the fun you do for your video. And also useful for me. Keep going man
Had my 20 18 11 inch iPad Pro six months after release and it’s still an amazing little machine. I treated myself to the M1 12.9 inch and it’s like going from a Volkswagen to a Porsche. Wife now gets the 11 inch.
I’ve had the same iPad Pro 13 since day 1 and I feel the exact same way! I’ve been running the 2020 16 inch MacBook Pro at the office but on a daily and in all my daily meetings, I use my iPad pro for convenience! (Side note… I’m a pastor and use this to preach with for sermon notes every Sunday) This video was spot on then I learned more features at the end! Subscribed! Well done, man! Well done!
I need to convince my pastor to move onto iPad. He has one but uses paper lol
I just bought a refurb late-2018 iPad Pro today off Amazon (less than $475. for 256gb cellular model) after spec comparing everything between it and the newer models. It'll be my 2nd display for my MBP M1 when on the go, and my Apple Fitness/News/TV+, etc travel companion. It'll never be my primary workstation, really, and so couldn't justify the costs difference between it and the 2022 models.
Also... great videos. Looking forward to more. Subscribed.
I will be doing the same with my ipad via sidecar. Although after intensive researching and returning to eBay lol I have decided to get M1 12.9 Pro for $200 more. How’s your 2018 holding up?
Are you still happy fit use this 12.9 as a secondary display for MBP ?
“So that idiots like me…” 😅😅😅😅got me hooked
You really nailed this one. Hands up to you.
Nice detail explaination video bro, keep up the great work, I still have my 2018 iPad Pro also and still works and gets the job done for CZcams thumbnails, creating scripts, etc and other things still a solid device but great video God Bless
Subscribed in the first one minute. I am also an idiot who bought the 2018 iPad Pro. It was meant to replace my laptop until I discovered that it couldn’t. Now I’m glad I bought it because almost 5yrs later, I do not notice any deterioration in performance for my particular use case, consuming media.
I absolutely agree with you on being frustrated by the software not taking advantage of the hardware. What frustrates me more is that it's likely at least partially a deliberate decision by apple to avoid cannibalising their macbook sales.
Switching from my 2018 ipad pro to my friends m1 pro, I was disappointed how little difference I felt. They're both just as fast navigating through the OS, and I only got a marginal increase in the maximum number of layers I could use in procreate.
Yep you’re right. It’s deliberate. But what’s more annoying is the fact that I still buy it knowing that 😂
Imo the only reason to upgrade to a M1/M2 iPad Pro is if you specifically need the few exclusive apps like Final Cut Pro or Logic
I watched this video and your first video about fear. I love your style and your willingness to try new things as well as guide and inspire people to do the same. You are also very entertaining. Subscribing now.
I enjoy the type of video style you present, ended up subscribing! Thanks for the content 🙂
Still using my 2018 iPad Pro, I got the 11 inch and 12.9 inch and both are still great no need to upgrade at present
hard time deciding to get the 11 or 12.9 inch for drawing , suggestions?
I'd go for the 12.9 if you want to be using it for drawing, it just gives a bit extra space. 11 is handy though to carry around.@@davekit6072
@@davekit6072get the 12.9 for drawing
I still use my 2014 iPad (Air 2) to this day for all my iPad-related tasks. It works great!! Haven't upgraded to iPadOS 15, and can't get 16, but even on 14 it still feels pretty great to use.
I have an Air 2 on iPadOS 14 it works nice for a secondary media device. I take it to the gym if I’m on a treadmill. Listen to music or watch Netflix or CZcams.
The best channel.
In the market for a machine for work
Very helpful video
Best tech reviewer ❤
Love this! Just bought a refurbished 2018 iPad pro for £379 which I think is a pretty good deal, especially as it has 256GB of storage. Also, love the way you borrowed an iPad to test it out rather than spend a fortune on it like every other CZcamsr. New sub!
he did a great job. usually reviewers buy to review and then return it
Wow! Amazing video! I'm a fan!
As a business owner, I agree with you on the latest and greatest.
Keep it up and take care.
What a absolutely fun video. Really enjoyed it.😃👍
Dude, this had me laughing but damn bro, nice edit and informative review. Was thinking of buying an older ipad mainly for photo editing and a little video editing. Thanks so much for this. I enjoyed the video. Definitely deserve a subscribe!
Hey the older iPad Pro will do! I made it look like I was going to upgrade, but I decided to stick with the 2018 iPad Pro. Check out my Lightroom photography work flow video czcams.com/video/mgRmNapSnLM/video.html
Amazing Video, I search for Ipad have 2 weeks to choose one to buy.
Thanks Samuel for the content, a Hug from BRAZIL
This was SO incredibly helpful! You rock dude
I have a 2018 laptop, I bought it for like 300 usd with 64gb, its so good especially considering the fact it has a 120hz display its so good and worth it
So i paused the video to say that i'm thoroughly invested in the story being told here, and all i came to watch was a video on a product i already own to see if i want to upgrade it. I'm gonna subscribe to find out if all your videos are this entertaining.
AGREED ON ALL!
I’m in exactly the same position. My 2018 iPad Pro is by far my most used device, not even close with regard to my second most used device(my iPhone). I use it for everything including my work as a teacher. I will upgrade either when there is an iPad with an OLED careen of if my battery dies, whichever comes first.
Yep same here. I'm holding onto iPad for another year before I do a battery change. That'll keep me going till next OLED. Still hasn't slowed down. Check my video where I compare 2018 iPad Pro vs the 2023 Tab S9
That’s one of the best reviews ever. Subscribed!
Thanks for the encouragement. I mention you in the next video. Dropping on Friday 6pm Sydney time.
Thanks for the impromptu stage manager tutorial! I recently upgraded my OS and it was really annoying me lol
Haha no worries. I watched another tutorial myself to learn it first.
keep going bruh your review is just awesome.
The brand new ipad pro M2 with 128 gigs only costs 999 usd so about 300 usd more than the ipad so I would still recommend getting that one if you are a new consumer.
I still have the 2018 ipad and i use it for note taking and the default notes app crashes on the Ipad quite often.
and its a reasonable amount slower and laggier even without the crashes.
Unless you need a ton of memory (u can use flash drive) then get the m2 one so it will last a long time
As a fellow Asian who also work and speak active English, I kind like a little bit crazy one like you Nam. Already subscribe! Keep up the good job!
Believe me this man gonna fly in few given times....keep it up bro its awesome
A few weeks back I just bought the new iPad 11 pro 4th generation witch I like , I had a iPad 9th generation so this is a big upgrade to me and if you can afford it get more space I ended up getting the 256gb
Love your humour 😂 running back for the camera after pulling away genius 😂😂
I still have my 2017 iPad Pro and it's enough for my current needs! 120Hz and quad-speakers make it a really good media consumption device.
Same here! I love my iPad Pro 10.5 pro. But battery life took a hit with age.
@@cal3l316 yeah, true. I also wish it could play 4K videos on CZcams but that’s all I really want it to do.
You would've slept peacefully if you didn't decide to compare them XD
You should have way more subs. Good stuff
Really love your video style and your persona. Subb’ed
dude this is a great video. keep at it.
As a student I got the m2 iPad Pro last year and have used it everyday since then. I got it coz I needed a good tablet for gaming and one which would last me like 4-6 years . iPad Pro is the best
Me using my 2017 10.5' ipad pro for everything from documentation (notion), to writing(notes, nebo), art(procreate), all the way up to designing entire scaled building plans uptil 80% (concepts) for my thesis and everything in between.
Looks the ame as the new one they recently released
Makes sense. I have this iPad. I’m not a creative and the iPad still does what I want with no performance complaints. I bought a Mac Mini for the stuff the iPad can’t do. Paid extra for the M2 Pro to feel the performance difference. But I’m currently replacing the battery on my iPad. No justification to spend £800 on a new one.
You're insane man, i subscribed immediately you said "why did i do this test" ? 😂🤣
I subscribed instantly. I love the energy 😊
Ooft. Comments like this give me energy~
6:02 😂😂😂 bro don't feel bad I have the same iPad 😂
aight im going to sub. your vids deserves more views hahaha
nice video sir,i will be watching all your content, i love apple products they just work so well, the 2023 imac is being saved up for as i type this, thanks for the video 😀
I just got a 2018 iPad Pro 12.9. I allready have a m1 air but I want the 120hz bigger display and just watch CZcams or whatever on it. Still a good iPad
1 min of watching and he made me like the video and subscribe
Great video! Thanks for the insights! I just got into photo editing in Lightroom and I'm fairly new to it. I'm deciding whether I should use the iPad as my main photo editing machine or the MacBook. Just wondering why you chose the iPad for Lightroom editing but not the MacBook? Wouldn't the MacBook be a lot faster for things like AI subject selection / general workflow like file management? What's the main advantage of using the iPad to edit photos? Is it because of the touch screen capability? Thank you and merry Christmas!
From my M1 testing, it’s literally the same speed as my M1 Max MacBook Pro in terms of AI subject selection. I would use iPad for photo editing any day over the MacBook. You can pinch to zoom, use the pressure sensitive pencil to brush in exposure. Can’t stand painting in things with the mouse. I might do a follow up on why it’s the best tool for Lightroom editing.
@@thesamuelnam Thank you for the reply!! A tutorial on your iPad workflow will be much appreciated too! Hope to see your videos soon!
I actually have a 10.5 iPad Pro which is registered as a 2018 and not a 2017 model, not quite sure why.. I bought it about 2 years ago from Apple Pre Owned store mainly for design and graphics work with a 1gen Apple Pencil because I really wanted the laminated screen and the newer 11” models was just beyond what I could afford as they are quite pricey where I’m from in South Africa. At the time my dream was the large 12” M1 iPad Pro with the LiDAR sensor but it would have taken me another 2 or 3 lifetimes to save up enough money to get that beast, so it was either the 10.5 Pro or the latest normal iPad at the time which was about the same price new as the preowned iPad Pro, so i went with the Pro even though it wasn’t new or the latest model.
It didn’t disappoint one bit once I received it specially when considering I was using a ancient ipad 4th gen with a cracked screen up to that point, since then I discovered CODM and so started using the iPad for gaming as well with only good experiences, that was until I saw there was a new COD coming and tried to preorder it only for it to show it wouldn’t be available for my iPad Pro which I found devastating and equally strange considering I never had any games lagging or not working before. Would have thought it wouldn’t have a issue of not getting new apps yet since I had OS 16.5 which I assume is the latest ipad OS and if a normal newer 9th or 10th gen normal ipad could play the new COD, why couldn’t the iPad Pro…
I’m now at the point where I’m already considering a normal 10th gen if I sold my pro to a cousin or someone who’d want to buy it, but I love the Pro’s screen and don’t know if I’d be as happy with a normal Ipad after using the pro for the past 2 years. Still can’t afford a better iPad Pro than the one I have as even preowned models from Apple Store cost almost double what mine or even the new 10th gen does..
What would your advice be, try get a 10th gen just because of 1 game or stick with what I got for the time being, what would be the chances of a game becoming available at a later time if this iPad is still capable of running the latest OS? If it wasn’t for the damn new COD I would have happily kept using this device for at least another year or 2 and maybe see preowned M1 iPads drop to more affordable prices in that time, don’t know why they have to be so extremely expensive here by me in South Africa..
Anyway, hope you have time to read my question and have some valued advice for me as it will be greatly appreciated! And thanks for your videos, I love your energy and excitement you have explaining things and subscribed before I could even finish watching the 1st video, hope your channel grows as energetically as you make your content be, your newest favourite subscriber! 🥰🇿🇦
Thanks for subbing and enjoying the content.
Instead of 10th gen ipad, I would go for the older iPad Air with new design. Or a used 2018 iPad Pro, since that’s still up to date with the OS if it’s within budget.
If a game isn’t available today, it most likely won’t make it to the ipad in the future. Please look into which iPads are compatible first.
This is a documentary ❤
3 minutes and I already subscribe bro
Sam, great video. No faffing about but entertaining & informative. Many thanks pal... but tell me; what keyboard case were you using for the iPad Pro 2018?
The Magic Keyboard case from Apple. It’s not worth it though, get the Logitech combo touch instead. Half the price, more features.
You’re a fun guy, nice nee fresh funny face on CZcams! Keep up the good work!
