WEBVTT

00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:56.079
yeah the new ipad is cool in fact it's super cool

00:00:55.199 --> 00:01:02.239
but can cool replace a laptop

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:08.000
yeah at least it can depending on what it is

00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:12.479
you would need to do with your laptop like for example if you need to protect

00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:18.400
your laptop or tablet and make it look awesome well then our sponsor dbrand

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:20.080
works just as well for the ipad pro as

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:24.400
it does for a laptop making it look sweet and protecting it from incidental

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:27.840
scuffs and scratches check out dbrand at the link in the video description

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:38.960
so tablets are going through kind of a crisis of identity right now like if

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:44.640
they were people they'd be in their sort of early 20s who am i faze

00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:50.000
you see when the first ipad came out it was understood to be a new class of

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:54.720
device that exists in addition to the ones that you already have not as a

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:58.479
replacement for them then the novelty wore off and people started asking

00:01:56.240 --> 00:02:01.920
themselves wait what was the point of these again

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:07.040
that's when we started seeing an attempt from manufacturers to marry the

00:02:04.479 --> 00:02:11.039
qualities of a tablet and a laptop microsoft was among the first to

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:15.920
popularize this fusion with their surface line tablets that ran Windows

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.560
and could be paired with a super thin keyboard a mouse and a pen

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:25.360
then came the two-in-ones which were full laptops whose touchscreen displays

00:02:22.640 --> 00:02:30.080
could be swiveled or outright removed and then used in tablet mode and then

00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:35.599
finally apple formally joined the fray in 2015 with the first ipad to be

00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:41.280
marketed as a laptop substitute the original ipad pro it was actually kind

00:02:38.480 --> 00:02:45.200
of bizarre like they even had microsoft join them on stage during the

00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:49.519
announcement to talk about how you could be super productive using office on the

00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:55.040
new ipad so was this it had apple bless the

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:58.480
world's best tablet with an actual function that is beyond distracting our

00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:02.720
cats so they won't bother us while we get work done on a real computer

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:06.319
well apple clearly feels that they did because it looks like the ipad pro is

00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:11.280
here to stay it got a minor hardware revision last year and a complete

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:13.440
overhaul now for 2018. so we've got the

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:18.800
11 inch model here but there's also the 12.9 inch model both of which boast

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:23.680
increased screen to body ratios thanks to their edge to edge screens

00:03:21.440 --> 00:03:28.640
though it isn't entirely clear which edge apple is talking about because i

00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:33.519
still see a bezel and it's even got a more utilitarian physical design with

00:03:30.799 --> 00:03:37.519
square edges like a macbook pro they've thrown in their faster eight

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:44.319
core a12x bionic processor which is supposedly 92 percent faster than all

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:46.319
the portable pcs and has xbox 1s class

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:52.000
graphics performance whatever those mean there's face id faster and more secure

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:53.680
than touch id and usb type c which

00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:58.319
actually makes this the most computer-like tablet ever from apple

00:03:56.640 --> 00:04:01.920
thanks to its ability to connect to external displays and a vast number of

00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:06.400
accessories finally they launched a new apple pencil

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:10.159
which now snaps magnetically to the side of the ipad pro to pair

00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:14.000
and charge personally i actually kind of liked the

00:04:11.920 --> 00:04:18.160
old way but i get no i'm just kidding that was horrible

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:22.720
i can't believe this took three years go apple but none of what i just said

00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:27.280
addresses the biggest difference between a macbook and an ipad with a keyboard

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:31.600
iOS and it's here that apple has done a

00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:37.440
fairly admirable job of tweaking iOS to be more like a desktop operating system

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:41.120
using apps in split screen is still nice and the a12x chip actually makes

00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:46.560
everything super fast like it's impressive how smoothly and

00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:51.520
quickly everything occurs on the ipad pro and it's made even more snappy by

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:58.000
the pro motion display with its adaptive 120 hertz refresh rate but the fact is

00:04:54.880 --> 00:05:00.000
iOS is still missing some critical

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:05.199
features that it needs to be a standalone computer for pro

00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:11.039
professionals here are some of those features in no particular order one a

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:13.280
true file manager the iOS files app only

00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:16.800
shows your icloud drive what

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:21.360
two support for external storage we finally have an iOS device with usb

00:05:18.960 --> 00:05:25.840
type-c but it won't recognize a thumb drive you know what

00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:28.160
apple three

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:33.840
better external display support you can connect displays via usbc directly or

00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:38.720
through an adapter but it always just duplicates your ipad screen unless your

00:05:36.479 --> 00:05:42.320
specific app supports a second screen experience four

00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:46.240
there's still no keyboard and mouse support so if you're using it in laptop

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:52.560
mode with the keyboard you'll have to reach up and touch the screen anytime

00:05:47.919 --> 00:05:54.960
you want to navigate like you're a chimp

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:58.240
five the pencil is sort of useful as a mouse analog

00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:02.400
except that you still have to switch between your fingers and the pencil to

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.919
perform certain actions like navigating between apps and going to the home

00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:11.199
screen i guess that's why this guy got so good at twirling it six the keyboard

00:06:08.960 --> 00:06:14.639
folio only lets the ipad sit at two angles which honestly is just

00:06:13.039 --> 00:06:17.199
unacceptable in a world that also contains the surface pro's friction

00:06:16.400 --> 00:06:22.400
hinge seven there's no headphone jack

00:06:21.280 --> 00:06:27.520
i'm sorry but i'm still salty look how big it is

00:06:25.280 --> 00:06:30.960
how about it maybe even just on the 12.9 inch

00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:35.120
right they got the same hardware so

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:40.639
how can a pro accept these kinds of compromises well the answer is that

00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:45.039
there are many different types of pros professional artists professional

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:48.720
writers professional video editors accountants scientists business owners

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:53.199
brand managers each of these pro fashions warrants a

00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:57.199
different answer to the question of whether the ipad pro can replace a

00:06:55.919 --> 00:07:00.400
laptop i think probably the best angle you

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:06.560
could take on that front would be artists the pencil and the ipad pro

00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:09.360
together are extremely impressive the

00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:13.599
precision responsiveness and overall feel is quite possibly the best

00:07:11.919 --> 00:07:17.919
available on anything other than a high-end wacom tablet

00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:22.319
so artists then die they can probably replace their computer this right

00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:26.240
well maybe illustrators and graphic designers at the verge got to try an

00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:31.440
early version of photoshop for the ipad pro and one of the photo editors shared

00:07:29.039 --> 00:07:36.319
that while it was cool she missed her keyboard shortcuts

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:39.599
and i think that kind of says it in a nutshell doesn't it

00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:45.199
it can but professionals who professionally

00:07:42.880 --> 00:07:50.319
you know hit their deadlines and stuff will probably share similar concerns

00:07:47.520 --> 00:07:55.520
don't get me wrong the ipad pro has all the things that people use a computer

00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:57.919
for a web browser apps games

00:07:55.520 --> 00:08:01.759
even an available keyboard the whole ipad pro can be your next computer thing

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.360
is true it's just only true for a small

00:08:03.599 --> 00:08:10.560
percentage of the people who we would traditionally describe as

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:16.639
pros for everyone else the ipad pro is still a secondary device something you

00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.879
have in addition to your real computer

00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.800
in other words it's a tablet

00:08:20.479 --> 00:08:26.800
but okay before we you know bang the gavel and pronounce

00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:30.800
judgment on this thing let's pretend for a moment that we are an artiste

00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:34.719
contemplating replacing our computer with the ipad pro

00:08:32.880 --> 00:08:40.560
that's where pricing comes into it this device starts at 799 for the 64 gig 11

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:43.839
inch model add the keyboard and pencil that's eleven hundred dollars but then

00:08:42.479 --> 00:08:50.399
if you're using this as your primary machine you're probably going to want the 12.9 inch one and let's give you 256

00:08:48.880 --> 00:08:55.600
gigs of storage as well that one's 11.50 so then the keyboard

00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.560
and pencil brings us to 1450.

00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:00.480
you know what else you can get for around that price the brand spanking new

00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:05.839
surface pro 6. oh yeah totally forgot microsoft has a

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:11.760
tablet running full Windows 10 with a core i5 also 256 gigs of storage

00:09:08.959 --> 00:09:15.839
excellent keyboard trackpad mouse support and a pen

00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:20.560
which isn't quite as good as the apple pencil but it's pretty freaking good and

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:24.959
it's actually less than fourteen hundred and fifty dollars now i'm not going to

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:29.120
come out and say that anyone who's considering the ipad pro should just get

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:34.800
a surface pro instead but if you are considering an ipad pro as

00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:38.959
your main computer you might want to consider a surface pro

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:43.519
or at the very least you better be pretty dang sure that you need that

00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:47.920
special apple pencil experience so that you can create an artfully illustrated

00:09:45.839 --> 00:09:52.080
itinerary of your vacation to maine because to me

00:09:49.680 --> 00:09:54.880
that is this device's primary selling point

00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:58.320
i mean perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that apple is selling a device more on

00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:03.360
the premise of what it could be used for and their vision for

00:10:01.040 --> 00:10:08.480
the future of computing rather than what you the end user are actually going to

00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:10.160
use this doodad to achieve

00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:14.320
that's kind of been their jam for a while but

00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:19.120
maybe that's okay like if you don't go in expecting the

00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:23.839
ipad pro or tablets like it to replace your laptop you are probably going to be

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:27.839
pretty darn happy with this thing and i think that it's enough to say that

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:32.880
this is an incredible tablet that is more powerful and capable than most

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:38.240
other tablets in its class because it really makes the most sense to me out of

00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:43.360
any other tablet as a companion device like the surface line

00:10:40.079 --> 00:10:46.320
it's more like two-in-ones laptops that

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:50.720
can be used as tablets as for this well this is a tablet that can be used as a

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:55.040
laptop maybe i'm wrong perhaps powerful tablets

00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:59.200
that can do it all are the future of computing

00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:05.200
but the main issue today is that apple is not going to lead us there with iOS

00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:11.200
in my opinion what they need to do is make macOS more touch friendly or make

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:15.839
iOS much more robust because as it stands the ipad pro can replace your

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:21.920
computer but it shouldn't speaking of things that shouldn't

00:11:19.680 --> 00:11:25.600
we shouldn't do segues like this they're awful we all have our everyday

00:11:24.079 --> 00:11:28.959
