- I adopt an iPad-first and iPad-dominated workflow. In today's video, I'm showing you exactly why and how my iPad is my computer replacement and how in the future (as iPads become more powerful) this will continue to be the trend. I hope you enjoy watching how I use my iPad Pro!

My iPad is my computer too I have a 8th gen 10.2 , a cheap keyboard and a Apple Pencil
Mam, does it support photoshop & Microsoft word/excel ?
Hi, I’d be interested to see your filing system!
Can I buy any of the one from you , I'm in desperate need of this and need it for Architecture
Hi! I’m studying Publicity and digital marketing rn I’m on my first semester and i have to make a lot of video editing and logo drawing. Do you recommend buying the iPad Pro or iPad Air? I’ve only been using my laptop and phone but it’s reallyyy tiring! I hope you can answer me i really need help:(
Loved your video btw! Super informative and motivational!
I use my iPads for creative work, paperless notes, email follow ups , but also entertainment such as Netflix. I totally agree with you, the way the multitasking is set up on iPad helps you to focus on one task at a time but gives you the advantage to move around with limits. Having the keyboard and the pencil is must.
@michael probably not ☺️ you could have easily gone with the regular iPad.
Is job applications possible ??
@@FULLMOON322 what applications ?
I am using an iPad for notes and it really helps me focus on my tasks. With that said I still use a desktop or MacBook when I need to have a lot of research windows open
12.9 or 11.... which one is better ?
For anyone thinking an iPad is a complete replacement for a laptop or PC, remember it is still on a mobile operating system which means some programs won't work on your tablet and some features of websites aren't supported for tablets etc. Also a tablet will not magically make your handwriting beautiful :(
It’s an other OS, that ´s all, whatever you use.
This. I do think people get it because they like the aesthetic notes but if you have bad handwriting, it’s going to look like that on the tablet too lol
What features aren't available?
@@notnot1759 literally anything on a real laptop such as a good file management system and being able to install any app.
a ipad is a complimentary device for ur computer it can never fully replace it
"Why is My iPad My Computer?"
Because no one can afford a computer after purchasing an iPad.
Haha good one. I use my tablet as a second monitor, and I also use it for entertainment when it comes to play time. No sacrifice. I do programming, and ipad or android tablets don't support that fully. But they do appear on my tablet in monitor mode.
Haresh - Ok Boomer.
@@Streamlined955 got it wrong pal.
@@Streamlined955 wdym lol if he/she is doing computer programming than they cant use any type of programming software because their isnt any support for those on ios devices so he/she has a good point
Why can’t afford a computer after getting an ipad?
I ditched my laptop years ago for the iPad. Currently use an 11” iPad Pro. Works great for me. At home & while traveling. I use it for everything from web surfing & email writing to video & photo editing as well as note taking & drawing with the apple pencil. It does everything i need.
Same. My laptop has been collecting dust ever since I got the 11” iPad Pro 2020 .
Would this be a good device for making you tube videos?
@@Jean-rv4yg Yup. I use Luma Fusion to edit my videos on my ipad pro. It’s totally doable. You just have to get used to the different workflow.
@@Regantdarcy great thanks
hi!! can i ask what storage ur ipad is? is it 128 gb, 256 gb, 512 gb, or more? this is what i want to use my ipad pro for & i'm terrified of running out of space. i'm a senior in high school & i at least want my ipad to last until my junior year of college. thanks!
Fantastic video. Keep up the amazing work and early congrats on graduating soon. Will be attempting to make my soon to be new iPad my go to machine for my day to day activities
I love how you mentioned the separation of use for each device. This is the same focus I got my iPad for. It's strictly business. I was doing business and personal from my phone, but was often distracted by personal.
I definitely agree with the iPad work flow idea. It’s just easier and more seamless for me to work on my iPad over a traditional laptop. And these new iPads can do so much! I, too, use different devices for different things. My iPad Pro is for work, business and school related things, and my iPad mini is for fun stuff. A perfect balance. Thank you for your video!
Really wondering what else is ipad good for aside from drawing and planning? I mean…can it present on a hdmi projector?
@@asaykologie yes
How much they cost?
I never thought about assigning roles to my devices (e.g., one for entertainment, one for work, etc.) I like it and I think I’ll have to try it
Just continue using f****** kali dude... doesn’t get better than that.
I have been doing that for long.... it's works too well dude..I use my tablet on for productive work and studies...and entertainment only on my tv...it works too well😌
Yes its good the ipad couldnt replace a windows PC for me which I use for 3d work, heavy text editing and writing etc, while ipad is for art and entertainment etc.
This is exactly how I will use the iPad: no games, no TV shows, no Netflix app or whatever. Only business apps (Citrix plugin, Lumafusion, Office 365, iSSH 2 and so on) Great reportage, thanks
Great video! You made excellent points and your whole explanation seems like exactly what Apple was going for with the iPad Pro lol
Lol
Hey man
I FOLLOW YOU
Luke
Tour videos are dam good
As a biochemist, The iPad had changed my life from Bachelor until now Ph.D. it is easy for write down a lab results, do lab journal, write down a patht way or chemical structure drowning as you mentioned. For me it is the whole experience such as watch a youtube during waiting for pcr results. Listen to music during cell culture or reading paper. The work that I still using my MacBook is for SPSS and citations program for paper writing.
I’ve actually used my iPad Air r to teach and I was blown away at how much more productive I was. My students were also able to see that and they preferred the iPad over the chrome books that my my school gives us. This video really helped me put things into perspective when using the iPad as a computer first ! I’ve used it to tutor also while using the Apple Pencil and it was very seamless and productive!
Where you able to screen share on zoom with the iPad Without connecting it to a laptop ?
@@salmarashiid221 you can screen share on iPad using zoom yes
The production quality of this video is amazing. Found this video because I was looking to upgrade my old 9.7” iPad to a bigger one or an iPad Pro. Thanks for the tips! 😊
This made me feel a lot better because I’ve seen people say it’s nearly a necessity to have a laptop to go along with an IPad but I don’t have that kinda money and I’m really scraping everything together to get one device. As the iPad would be my only device I’m looking to see how to get it to work for a degree. I’m a botanist and I’m really hoping that if I can get by with just the IPad.
Botanist??!! Me too!!
@@wawacharlotte1116 That's awesome!!
So you bought the apple iPad keyboard? It’s expensive
@@kennethkoh6072 I didn't buy the apple ipad keyboard no :) it was too expensive for me. I went for just a folio case and use the on screen keyboard which works out well :)
@@piplup10203854 you can just get a random cheap bluetooth keyboard that says it works with apple/ios and call it a day
I strategically purchased my iPad with keyboard and pencil for the sole purpose of using for work, planning and creating. I needed the portability but more importantly, I needed something that would support me while I learn new create tools and techniques without overwhelming myself with desktop software that I probably won’t use until I get into more advanced levels.
I use iPad Pro for 99% of my work as entrepreneur running my own business, but I also use to play music and edit my drone videos, and for entertainment such as CZcams and Netflix. It is my most valued piece of tech with it being integral to most aspects of my life.
Man idk how you do it man
And that "business" is just selling some shit online I suppose?
Where do you edit your videos?
@@VincentPride1986 😊
I can’t live without my iPad! I love your videos! Congratulations for 46.7k ❤️ Your videos are amazing just like you 🤍
You’re the best, Maria!
What is your phone number
@@shehrozmubarak1389 69696969969
i love my iPad too! her videos are so high quality and edited so well :)
I’ve switched to primarily iPad 12.9 Pro. With the amazing magic keyboard. You are correct the work flow is seamless for me as well. I can also remove the the iPad from keyboard and go out into the plant for audits, pictures of project areas, etc….I use the MacBook Pro much less now. I also use cloud services to share with my coworkers and store documents on the go. It’s so much better!
I’m a high school and college student (dual enrollment) and my iPad (iPad Air 4) has made my life so much easier. First with saving paper and also being able to conveniently have all my work in one location.
Omg really I have a MacBook Pro looking forward to trade it in for a iPad Because I’ve gone about 4 times for them to fix my MacBook and they keep saying it’s fine when for me I can’t even use it. Trying to convince my parents to let me trade it in for a apple gift card and get a iPad I’ve heard it’s much easier ?
I often think how much better I would have done in school if iPads were around then. Most of my challenges surrounded medical issues and therefore issues with heavy backpacks, needing to bring most of my textbooks home for homework every night, etc. Also, my natural organizational style is much more conducive to annotating than to writing textbook references in my notes.
I've watched this video twice over the last few months. I had already tried to make my devices narrow/single purposed. I have similar devices like you: Switch, iPad, iPhone, laptop, etc. Originally, my iPad was a first step in computing and possibly replacing my laptop to certain degree: whether it was work, school or play; however, my iPhone is all of that when I'm not with my iPad or laptop. My laptop was for when I needed a processing speeds or anything else that might enter my mind at the time.
After watching you video the first time, I tried it your way. I had removed all the apps that were games and entertainment from my iPad. --Wow that made a huge difference:
1) I'm not (as much*) distracted when it's time to work or study. (Turning off notifications helps.)
2) I had minimize my screen time while maximizing my productivity time,
a) and, in the process, better allocate my time to relax or play.
I'm in the process of working out a system of usage with my iPhone, so that I can stay even more focused. While my PC is only used when I need to do data analysis and coding.
I would like to see/know:
- What do you use to film, edit and process your CZcams videos?
- Thank you and I/we want more iPad content. :)
- If you're still into Chemistry, will you shift your business model or add to it with science videos? (Just curious).
Some of the reviews for this don't make sense. This czcams.com/users/postUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA works as well as any power strip I've used. Plug in what you need, be sensible about it & keep it movin' The construction is plastic but it's a sturdy piece. It has a single toggle switch & the swivel jacks are useful as well. Plugged in next to Tripp Lite Isobar takes some of these reviews with a pinch of sumthin' - does what it says & functions properly.Had for about a month. Perfect no complaints will update if anything changes.
For the last four months I’ve made my iPad Pro my only computer. I was amazed at how easy that transition was. The primary app that I lost was my home edition MATLAB and Simulink. But I learned to work around that. I probably won’t live long enough to fully exploit all the iPad’s capability. Beyond CZcams, my primary iPad usage includes developing engineering illustrations and diagrams as well as taking notes and marking up technical articles. I’ve dumped MS Office in favor of using Apple’s creativity suite: Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. No issues so far.
Looking at your profile picture, you’re not old enough to be saying “probably won’t live long enough”. I hope you live out the rest of your life healthy and happy sir. Also Don’t say negative things like that, think positive. Life is short, but it’s crazy how many things you can do in 5, 10 or even 15 years. Wish you a happy and long, healthy life, with nothing but success and prosperity, sir.
How have you worked around not using matlab? As an eng student there’s no other alternative
What is as your alternative to MatLab?
I am so amazed by you! I am OLD and I use an iPad for the things that I struggle with on the computer and then air drop them to my computer. I do a lot of app smashing (which is what we call it in education) but I know that there is so much more I can do. I love learning from you! I have to tell you that I was surprised you are a chem major since your are so gifted in the digital/graphics areas. You are a multi-talented young woman. :).
Glad you shared this and highlighted using solely your ipad. I have switched my whole life around using the apps on my ipad and let go of some apps I used to reference and use daily on the laptop - reducing context switching has helped so much.
Thanks for sharing!! I love how you mentioned context switching -- that's totally what it is!
Let me just say… thank you for creating this video! I am more attracted to your channel and I am glad that I found it because I have been struggling to find someone who creates videos and is in the science field. I struggle with putting my iPad and MacBook to good use for my classes and work
You just sold me on using my iPad as my main computer. It's definitely a lot of more fun to use. Oh, and your voice is very soothing. :D I just subscribed to your channel. ; )
I am so proud of your video and work ethic! Great job!
A video on using and taking care of the magic keyboard, especially if you commute/travel with it.
Thank you for being a fellow stem major with a realistic real world review from a college students perspective!
This video was so satisfying to watch. You make use of your gadgets so well. Great job! Thank you for taking time making the video.
I originally got my iPad last year for my illustrations for work. But I fell in love with everything else about it, and even opened up the Apple garden gates for me (was an Android/Windows user). I love this thing so much.
I feel like my iPad is my main as well. First my laptop needs to be fixed lol it is loud and annoying . 2nd digital notes allows me better to focus , I don’t know what it is but writing down my notes digitally just works well for me. If I could do my chem homework on my iPad I would
I went for a whole year without turning on my laptop. I use my iPhone for almost all my digital needs. Now I just go on laptop to keep it updated. The biggest annoyance with laptop is the updates keep it from functioning. Even after like a month of no use sometimes when I turn it on I have to wait for it to update before I can start using it.
Glad to know that many popular youtubers have now come to embrace the reality that the iPad can be the main computer for most users. I have been using the iPad 7 as my main computer since 2020, and recently upgraded to a 64GB M1 iPad Air. All i can say is its amazing! I hope you can make an updated video featuring stage manager and tell us your thoughts about it and how it affects your workflow as an iPad power user. Thanks! 😀
As someone who has only owned a ipod 30gb video years ago and no other apple product, seeing this video made me feel less intimidated and even welcome. Thank you so much. I am a writer who is also trying to learn language(s) so this gives me hope in that as well.
You're a kind soul and I truly appreciate you! Thank you so much for this! Big hugs!
😌 I’m selling my 16 inch MacBook Pro and going all in with my iPad. For me, I think it’s a much more pleasant productivity experience overall. Great video!
Such positive vibes and very calm video :)
Thank you!! 😊
Your handwriting on your iPad is so neat. When I first got mine a few months ago I was struggling to write neatly. Especially on GoodNotes. But I guess practice makes perfect. Still love my iPad tho. It has been a great addition to my everyday life in many aspects. I definitely prefer tablets with a pen over laptops. Way more flexible devices.
Same. Especially when writing fast in college lecture lol. At least I can read my handwriting so that’s what matters
I been using my iPad pro for everything I need for the past year or so. Take notes, write essays, print documents, schedule, entertainment, editing. It may not works for everyone, but it’s perfect for some of us, it’s easier and compact. And the apple pen makes it even more practical
Excellent video young lady, congrats on your pending graduation. Loved this detailed look at the iPad work flow. I’m going iPad first for my computer needs also, although on my machine I’m adding entertainment apps as well as productivity. I play 4 games consistently on my iPhone I’ll probably add those too. New subscriber here 👍🏾
Great vid. I’m exactly the same. iPad first, MacBook second. I only use my MacBook for video calls because the iPad FaceTime camera is on the side when it’s on the magic keyboard, which is kind of annoying that they haven’t changed that yet, but whatever. And also, I do a lot of work on google docs and unfortunately, Apple doesn’t support having multiple windows for google docs open the same way you can for pages, notes, safari, etc. So working on multiple docs at the same time can be annoying. But other than those, I 100% use my iPad at my primary laptop and I love it
I appreciate you making this video! Truly considering either M1 MacBook Pro & M1 iPad for video editing. I was a little hesitant with the iPad. But knowing you pretty much do everything on your iPad gives me confidence 😅 Thanks!
Well done, I’ve been looking for something in depth like this! Thanks 🙏🏽
I rlly needed this video; I bought an iPad Air a while ago and while I sometimes use that for school, I still kind of rely on paper notes this year since I started with them. But next year I'll hopefully make the full switch to digital note taking!
I use mine for work notes. And it’s a game changer when using the search feature. No more flipping through pages and scanning them looking for a particular note or subject.
30 years using IT and I’m with you 100% on iPad first, creating music, graphics, videos, websites and now software development for Alexa skills and websites. Just pick up and put down when you want. 👍
that's right 👍
Following you has helped me so much. I use iPad Pro 12.9 2020, only! So you’ve been a Godsend! Thank you! So much!
Hello! Been really enjoying your channel's content as of late. great work and I can't wait to see where the channel goes in future. Assigning different roles to different devices is something I hadn't considered and will keep in mind going forward. Though, I am left wondering, how exactly do you incorporate multiple iPads into your workflow, if you don't mind me asking?
At the beginning of the semester. I bought a notebook for school. Ever since I bought my iPad. All of my notes are in the iPad. I noticed that my grades made a jump ever since I transition from handwriting notes to digital notes.
That's awesome! Happy to hear how the iPad has been worth it!
@michael true. People are just flexing here.
@michael XD
@michael ??? That’s terrible.. who want to read their sloppy writing
@@assassin7250 dont you have to manually write out ipad notes too?
Great video. I agree. I’ve loved using my iPads over the years much more than my MacBook Pro and Mac Air. I gave my laptops to my son and desktop to my daughter and went to purchase a computer and I ended up with the iPad M1.
I’ve had an iPad Pro 11” for a little over a year now. I love it! With the exception of my phone, it is my only computing device. I’m an artist, student, and do everything I need from my iPad with no issues. I love the mobility of it too. Definitely worth the $!
Spoken like a true entrepreneur!! Bought an Ipad Air last week, aint seen my laptop since!!! They are such fun to use!!!
I’m a chemistry teacher and recently also became iPad first (new air) - it really does change everything
I have wondered about this idea. I use my MBA first but my iPad has a strong second place in my workflow. As a teacher teaching online. I use my computer to plan lessons and run the google meets then use my iPad and Apple Pencil as a whiteboard and interactive screen. I look forward to seeing how your flow.
Thank you for this short but sweet video. An iPad first mentality I think is going to really help me streamline my productivity. I have all but given up on multitasking because I have come to the realization that it is exhausting and it divides the quality of your work. Nowadays if I want to do more than one thing at a time I make sure I can do one of them passively, like listen to a video while typing away in an excel sheet (listening to the video, not watching) and removing distracting apps on my phone or ones I just don't use in general has been able to keep me focused in the past, I dunno why I never thought of doing the same with my iPad. I really just need to keep things simple.
i have a macbook air and ipad mini (no pencil), and I use both for school and entertianment, which works for me. I love that i can use my ipad for things on the side like reading something and then working on my computer, drawing, highlighting things, setting lists for myself. I don't strictly have purposes for each but i like that they both have their abilities- mac can handle more and ipad is touchscreen and much smaller
This makes so much sense and I am surprised it’s not a more popular topic. I have also been unwittingly drifting in the same direction except for two issues (there might be more) 1. Logic Pro (this might get fixed they say). 2. I tend to prefer the screens of the regular non-Pro iPads for stuff like reading and web browsing, they’re just so handy. But that too could be just a matter of habit. Nice video thanks.
Similar here: only Logic Pro preventing the switch.
Great video! I’ve been contemplating going all in with an iPad set up as well. I’m a yoga teacher and currently use an 8th gen iPad to stream classes, create content, etc. Like you, I tend to separate my work/play gadgets (though I do have Netflix on my iPad) as I have an Xbox and Switch for gaming with my laptop connected to an external monitor should I want to use it for streaming. In any case, an all-in iPad set up is very intriguing and if you’d be willing to work with me to do so for my yoga business I am all ears!
Among reviews discouraging me to buy an Ipad, this channel is really motivating. This is what I want to listen. You have my subscription. Tks
So clear and concise. Well done!
This video is perfect. I'm a Chemistry major too and drawing mechanisms and chemical rxns is just arrghhh haha
I still have the basic iPad 6th Generation. I will use it for my clients to program training routines for them. I also use it as a second screen to my Mac for video editing sometimes.
I love this, I’m definitely getting the IPad Pro soon 🥰 I’m transitioning into being a creative so having this seems like the best choice
Yes, I agree with your tablet first workflow. Having owned a iPad Air 2 from when it first came out in 2014, twenty years everything Apple as in computers, laptops, watch, routers, and the like) plus eleven years iPhone only, I purchased a Samsung Note 20; amazing device. The Note 20 experience convinced me moving from iPad to Samsung Tablet. My reason, the Samsung tablet OS, and Note 20 as well, contain DeX (Desktop Experience), considerably better than the iPad OS and iPhone OS. For many years having used and loving Apple Notes, my experience with Samsung notes demonstrates it is for me better and more feature rich than Apple Notes. Device personal choice aside, I completely agree with your tablet first workflow is excellent. All your points about tablet first are spot-on.
U're using Samsung tabet until now ?
I really want that iPad Pro, I’m graduating soon and it’s a must for my thesis, and all the searching I’ll be doing
Did you get it? I still think you can so better research on a real computer. The iPad is still pretty great
Thank you.. I really appreciate hearing about your iPad focused perspective. 🙂
I recently started a new job, I am attempting to utilize all the 365 apps offered. I have an older iPad that I rarely use but this video has been most helpful. I have always loved the physicality of writing but in the theory of work smarter not harder, I’m trying new things. Thank you!
I like using the iPad with an Apple Pencil for school work because it doesn’t use lots of paper and it’s easier to keep track of everything.
Thank you mighty YT algorithm for suggesting me this brilliant creator and her awesome video! Instant sub, and my only wish would be to make videos in higher resolution - at least 1080p. Again, brilliant and inspiring video and story.
Sorry about that! Shot my video in 1080/2K and destroyed the quality by accidentally exporting at 720p. Will be more careful & use my sigma lens next time :) thanks for the support!
Great informative video.
Working on my iPad over a Year now and it’s Still My Favorite Computer.
my ipad helped me so much through medical school, i was tired of lugging my macbook and was upset i could bring my imac eveywhere lol, i got the ipad and was instantly in love with being able to write on powerpoints, take it with me from class to class to clinicals to labs and it not take up so much space. i got a preloved smart folio keyboard was good, but then got a preloved magic keyboard, never went back. having the touchpad and be able to detach my ipad whenever is pure bliss. i do have netflix, youtube, crunchyroll and bunch of enterianment apps on my ipad and was able to differenciate between play and studies on one device.
I have a MacBook Air, but I always just go back to my iPads for daily tasks. Great video.
i have ipad pro 2020 and i love it for mostly everything. except for the absence of a trackpad/keyboard when i want to type. but otherwise , the form factor, the ease, the size & convenience is better than any laptop out there.
I love this idea! My iPad is starting to serve a similar function in my life. I plan and work on it but don’t do much else with it
The iPads are so great! An all-in-one device.
Thank you for this awesome video !! Helps me a lot to choose what is better for me !! 💞
Loved what you said about app boundaries.
I got the iPad Pro as I'm looking to start drawing and writing digital webcomics. For me with the Apple Pencil there's just something fun about the device that helps me alleviate the 'where do I get started' feeling when you're staring at a blank page on a new project. It just feels so natural getting that immediate feedback when the pencil touches the screen that's unlike anything that I've tried with Wacom tablets and other drawing methods. It's nice having everything all together in one sleek and portable device. Apple really knocked it out of the park.
waiting for my ipad now you make me more excited! I use wacome before and it didn't give a "draw" feeling at all (more like skate my pen over some ice + invisible gap). I hope ipad is my right choice too!
I'd recommend investing into a NAS its basically your own cloud computer that you can access from any device anywhere you want. It will safe you from paying $10 every month for the next x amount of years. It adds up
I recently just got a 2020 11-inch iPad Pro and I already use it more than my laptop. Although it does have its downsides like not having certain apps to transfer assignments into PDFs for my professors to grade and not having a syncing system with a program that I use to write on my laptop, I LOVE my iPad Pro.
It’s thinner and easier to carry than my laptop, and takes up less space in my bag for college. It’s also pretty useful for having apps for me to write down lecture notes and having an easy interface to navigate if I need to get to something quickly.
I also got the iPad Pro for my art because it’s one of the best out there to run Procreate as smoothly as possible, so that’s a plus.
Besides school and art, I like the fact that I can sync up my laptop (a 2019 MacBook Air) and my iPad Pro through iCloud just in case I need to solely use my iPad Pro for the day and have everything (Ike backed up pictures and documents) at a quick notice.
Easily a 9/10 for the downsides but 10/10 if the downsides were to be able to be fixed
I use my Ipad for every aspect of my life, I definitely can’t go without it. From my business to college and more, I definitely don’t go a day without a LOT of use from my Ipad, I love it!
I wish I could do that. My job requires so much compute power it will always be a supplemental tool for me.
As a General Science Teacher with a very hyperactive son with Autism, Apple captivated me by giving me the the capacity to flow from a Mac at work, downgrade to an iPad during meeting, and seamless continue that same amount of work energy at home with my son and his adventures. As a mother and professional, any tool that does not interfere with your most important role as a mother and allows you to still be that proactive,, creative, and productive alpha female. My mini really blow everyone’s mind, because the competition shows up with bags and binders and/or laptop and even Macs. My mini with the sync information from my Mac and Air is alway tucked in a small purse until it is needed. I love it. iPads are taking over.
So you prefer your mini over the 12.9 iPad and the iPad Pro? I’m trying to decide. It’s really difficult. Do I choose the larger iPad for note taking purpose or the smaller mini for convenience… or tote-ability???
@@trohnb8104 go Air, for the same chip as the Pro but more screen space than the mini
Love this video and the concept iPad First. I’ve been using my iPad as my primary go to for editing photography work flow, created a resume and submitted my application for my current job, all on the iPad Pro. There are some features that are not on the Lightroom or Photoshop mobile and then I have to go to my laptop. I’ve the idea of creating a AWS EC2 instance for just these specific needs or setting up my laptop/desktop to allow me to remote into these boxes, but currently have done neither. I did learn from your video that you can drag and drop a ProCreate layer into another app, definitely going to use that, thank you! Great video again!
I just ordered my first iPad and I'm super excited for it to arrive!! I'm planning to use it for pretty much everything (games entertainment, filming, and school/planning)
It’s nice that your major/lifestyle allow you to use an iPad the majority of the time. I would love too as well but me being a computer scientist I need certain applications that iPads don’t support sadly. Hopefully in the future I’ll be able to adopt your ways 😢
My iPad serves as my computer for work/biz, but because I have this final year left of undergrad, I have to use my laptop for certain programs and applications like MATLAB, Mestrenova, citation managers, ChemDraw, etc. that can't be run on the iPad. After this year, I won't need those programs.
This is so helpful. I recently have thought about using my iPad for most of my stuff because these coming months look to be quite busy and my laptop is on the older side and is quite big at 15’ and I wasn’t really looking toward having to lug it around. I’ll have to look into more videos!
Hello Kirstin, glad to hear that iPad is your computer.
I wish my iPad could replace my computer too. However, at the year 2021, no browser on my iPad could yet replace the chrome brower on my mac mini 2014.
That's why my iPad has become my best gaming and entertainment machine.
My 2021 iPad Pro is my baby. I use it for everything, watching Netflix, HBO Max, Disney Plus, to taking notes and videos for school, and writing my short stories (I’m a wannabe author.) I have an 2nd Gen Apple Pencil but no Magic Keyboard because that’s expensive as hell. There are great, cheap, Bluetooth keyboards. The iPad Pro is versatile and I don’t need a laptop. It does everything.
Thanks for the video!
3:45 what magic trick did I just learned :O
I share more tricks in my digital planning tricks video like that one :)
lol yeah I didn’t know you can do that 👀👍🏽
Ik right I’ve had iPads all my life (12 years) and never knew that
@@KDigitalStudio what do you think about side tap feature on Apple pencil
What is your phone number
Super happy that you decided to share this!! I have a question... do you miss anything about working on a laptop solely?
p.s your editing is super good these days!!
The only thing I really do on my laptop is edit my videos but if final cut ever comes to the iPad, I won’t see much need for my laptop (other than watching videos or playing games since I don’t do that on my iPad). 😊
This is the most helpful video that I’ve seen yet. Thanks for the advice 👍
Eyyy im ur new subscriber, nice videoo it’s simple, genuine & i love it! Keep up the great work 👍
I think the large corps are seeing it this way too. We have the 14.6" Samsung tab S8 Ultra coming out in a couple months, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see an even larger than 12.9" iPad soon as well. Seems like the line between computer and tablet is getting thinner and thinner.
I also used an iPad, a 12.9 inch iPad Pro for most of my computing needs. However I recently replaced the iPad Pro with a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and it really improved my productivity. It has a much better amoled screen, a much larger screen, a better keyboard case and a way friendlier file system than Apple's, plus much more refined multi tasking. However I'm a Windows/Android person so it may just be what I am more comfortable with. Either way you can't beat the weight and battery life and note taking abilities of a tablet and stylus versus most laptops. Nice content!
First video of yours I’ve watched. Really excellent.
Girl, you've given me a strong argument. I'm thinking of buying a larger iPad (currently have my good old mini 3) Thanks!!!
Ty hun for your review. Sometimes men are so technically complex, but you are telling and showing me how a person will use it daily vs all the tech jargon. Everyday use is more important and how it flows!! Ty
Nice! I’ve been saving up for an iPad for years 😂
This all sounds so familiar (minus the chemistry... I'm not smart in that way). I keep seeing videos on how people tried to switch to the pro instead of using a laptop but that they went crawling back. I'm trying to make that decision now but here's what it comes down to... I only use my laptop for typing at this point. I use my phone or ipad mini for literally everything else... my planner, notes, art, music, website bookmarks, recipes..it's all more easily accessible through my tablet or phone. There are only two things I prefer/need my laptop for but everything else is heading towards a tablet. Thanks for posting this video and validating my decision... lol
Good for you. Sounds like you really have it together.
I so recognize the transition you went through. I wish I had the time and the know-how to make a video about my proces. I’m a primary school teacher. Halfway through march 2020 I had to switch over to online teaching. And what do you know! My MacBook Pro broke. Pink screen. Very fancy, but very not useful. My husband said: you always wanted to draw on your computer. Now is the time to make that step. So I purchased the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and magic keyboard. I dearly missed my MacBook because the storing was quite different in the beginning (I thought) and I’m very organized. But I learned to plan digitally (Oh yes I was a bullet journaling - what’s the word? Fanatic? There is an other word for it, but I’m Dutch so forgive me) thanks to you dear Kirstin. I draw in procreate and I prepare my lessons, make instruction video’s, and mainly teach on my iPad when at school with my class. And so much more. Thanks for your great instructions, tips and tricks. The only thing I need to do know is clean up the clutter from when I didn’t know how to fully use the iPad, so thanks to the Cloud tip. I’m in the cloud, but I don’t make full use of it. And also about transferring drawings seamlessly from procreate to Goodnotes. Thank you thank you thank you
