1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,279
you listen to me buddy ipads are computers now

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:11,360
deal with it they've got full mouse and trackpad support desktop web browsing

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:16,960
and the pro models have a powerful processor that can outperform many real

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:18,720
laptops the debate about whether an ipad

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,680
can replace your laptop is over

6
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:27,760
but that doesn't mean we're done asking questions for instance take this new

7
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:28,720
ipad pro why did i just call it an ipad

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:35,680
pro instead of what it actually is which is the new 2020 ipad air why does it have a

9
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,960
better CPU but a lower price can it replace your laptop

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:43,760
i'm sorry old habits die hard

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:48,800
now it can manage pcs from anywhere leverage your existing cloud storage to

00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,840
Linus

16
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:12,880
okay i figured it out i called it the new ipad pro because this new ipad air

17
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:18,240
looks almost exactly like our 11 inch ipad pro from 2018 there's the square

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:22,799
edge design single rear-facing camera top and bottom speaker grilles and equal

19
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:26,240
bezels on all sides it even fits perfectly into the same keyboard

20
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:30,560
accessories meant for the pro including the magic keyboard the keyboard folio

21
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:35,040
and my personal favorite this logitech folio touch i mean the

22
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:39,040
only obvious visual differences are the slightly wider bezels and thicker

23
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:43,680
chassis on the air but otherwise if you hadn't heard the news you'd be forgiven

24
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:46,720
for thinking this was a ipad pro 10.9

25
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,439
inch so what's apple's game here is the

26
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:54,159
ipad air supposed to be the ipad pro light or maybe this square edge design

27
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:58,159
represents the future of the entire ipad line and the ipad air is just getting it

28
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:03,119
first sort of like a hand-me-down from an older sibling the thicker bezels the

29
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,320
tablet parallel of frayed edges on a once fashionable sweater

30
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,200
thank you the new ipad air is 200

31
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,959
cheaper than the pro but at what cost

32
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:19,920
well the top and bottom have what appear to be four speaker grilles but apple

33
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:23,760
says the air has stereo speakers and sure enough sound only seems to come

34
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:29,280
from two of them the audio is still pretty decent for a tablet though

35
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,400
on the back is a single 12 megapixel camera no ultra wide or lidar sensor

36
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:40,879
here and on the front a lonesome 7 megapixel camera hides in the bezel with

37
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,959
no true depth cameras for face id instead apple has brought back touch id

38
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,720
integrating it into the power button it's a little more of a hassle than just

39
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,519
looking at your ipad and swiping up but what do you think this is an ipad pro

40
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:57,680
the air's display has a slightly lower resolution thanks to those thick bezels

41
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:03,200
and it also lacks pro motion which is apple's fancy marketing term for 120

42
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,599
hertz you're stuck at a pathetic 60 here

43
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:10,879
but that's not for lack of power inside is the new a14 bionic processor the same

44
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:15,840
six core chip found in the new iphone 12 models in our geekbench tests the a14

45
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:20,879
single core and GPU performance was actually significantly better than the

46
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:24,640
a12z found in the current ipad pros although it did fall behind a bit in

47
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:29,599
multicore due to the a14 having two fewer cores the ipad air also has less

48
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:34,480
memory four gigs instead of six gigs in the pros and the base model only comes

49
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,159
with 64 gigs of storage anyone who does

50
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:41,920
get one of these to use as a actual laptop will probably want the 256 gig

51
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:46,720
version for an extra 150 bucks and then you've got to add a keyboard and maybe

52
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:50,879
an apple pencil if you're creative and all of a sudden your shopping cart is at

53
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,159
almost twelve hundred dollars in this economy

54
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:58,959
this thing better be freaking amazing to use and

55
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:03,519
well it's you know it's good i mean it feels like using the ipad pro and this

56
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:07,920
time around ipad os 14 has some cool new pencil features like scribble which lets

57
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:13,200
you write and edit in any text field a la Windows 10 from 2018 there's also

58
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:16,880
just some more basic desktop os stuff like the ability to set third-party apps

59
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,639
as the default email client or web browser which is especially nice now

60
00:04:18,799 --> 00:04:24,960
that the ipad versions of firefox and chrome as well as safari can load the

61
00:04:22,639 --> 00:04:29,040
desktop versions of websites by default instead of the dinky little mobile

62
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:33,919
version but while i've learned to love using the ipad as a laptop almost as

63
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:38,320
much as i love lttstore.com if you're going to use an ipad as your

64
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:42,160
main machine be aware that ipad os is still very much a work in progress

65
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:47,520
while they've promised full functionality is coming adobe apps are

66
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:51,199
still not quite at a desktop class level there are however great alternatives

67
00:04:49,199 --> 00:04:55,280
like procreate affinity illustrator and lumafusion microsoft's native mouse

68
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:58,960
support for office on ipad is apparently coming but it hasn't rolled out to our

69
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:04,240
machine yet so the mouse still acts like a transparent finger instead of a proper

70
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,919
cursor and while the ipad airs usb-c port means it can easily connect to

71
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:13,680
external monitors and thus compensate for its tiny tiny screen ipad os has yet

72
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:17,440
to add the ability to extend its display instead of just duplicating it so if

73
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,560
you've been following our ipad pro coverage up till now you might be thinking this is more or less the same

74
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:28,080
story as last time it can be is

75
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:34,400
a laptop but only for a specific type of person the type of user who loves ipads

76
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:39,280
and wants to make ipad os work for them and has some money to blow but while the

77
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:43,680
overall story might be the same this is still an important moment to me because

78
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:47,520
this is the first ipad video we've made in the last couple years that isn't

79
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:51,360
about challenging this thing's existence as a laptop replacement

80
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:57,440
ipads officially are laptops now and not just ipad pros

81
00:05:55,360 --> 00:06:00,479
