A couple things I wish I mentioned in this video: - at $599, the iPad Air 2020 is $100 more expensive than its predecessor - you can obviously use it as a simple tablet and not a "computer", but then... you might as well get the iPad 8th gen for $329, it's a fine tablet. - The Logitech Folio Touch is $159 compared to the Magic Keyboard for $299 - lttstore.com Riley
The 1byone touch keyboard is 19€. That’s what I’m using. Very happy with it
Hey linus for ur fans or just help will u replay or make a vid/ content of why a 120hz cmi vs 120hz tv the difference between them i got a 50 in tlc uhd 4k at 120hz cmi for 250 and really want to know if its powerfull enuf to run it to it full potential will u make a vid comparing 120hz vs 120hz cmi so u can
@ISOHaven The A12Z doesn't stomp the A14, the A14 has better single core performance and is about 10% slower on multi-core and slightly faster in graphics. Obviously, the Pro has a better display, better speakers, better mics, better cameras, lidar, but still. The iPad Pro is at a weird place right now. The Pro will become attractive again when they update it in ~March with an M1 with a different name (A14X).
Need an umbrella

Last thumbnail without Linus in the last 2 months :0 (and counting)
what the heck was that riley?
69
This guy is hillarious 😂
His criticisms are certainly spot on. I enjoy Apple products but they really hold themselves back with some frustrating decisions. That being said, I still currently use the original iPad Air and a 2013 MacBook Air. The Air works nearly as well as it did the day I bought it (some loss of battery function of course), the iPad still works great as well but definitely is showing its age with certain functions. Before I made the switch to Apple I went through 3 PCs in that same amount of time and that included two whole years I didn’t even use or own a computer. Now some of that is due to crazy rate of advancements in the early 2000s but those computer also simply broke and became unusable. I swear if Apple would fix the stupid storage limitations, intentionally holding back features, and stop charging ridiculous amounts at times, Apple would be unstoppable.
Make the title "iSee what you're doing, Apple..."
Bro honestly, as a slow typer and generally creative person...I can’t state just how good the iPad Air 2020 has been for me now that I’m in college.Taking notes is the beat now!
Linus Lite
how does the bigger bezels make it less resolution lol
5:59😂
I though manscaping was some sort of bad habit or pattern men tend to show when confronted with some adverse situations...
this guy is better looking than linus and 3 times as sarcastic. watch your back tech tips. btw having an opinion about an ipad pro when your dont draw or paint is like talking smack about america when your country doesn't have a space program.
Imagine an iPad with M1-Chip
are you linux?
The new iPad Air is the new iPad Pro Min
Now if only Ableton gets ported to ipad ios with vst support.
Affinity ILLUSTRATOR ?? WAIT WHAT
Linus wala Linux
Manscaped gonna make me act up
$1,200.00 I’d rather just build a computer that kicks the iPad in the ass with that money.
Apple should make an iPad Pro with macOS
He talks exactly like agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) in Matrix !
It is a way to recycle the older aluminium casing for iPad Pro , like iPhone SE
I would like you speak about the samsung s7 plus. That is the "laptop" alternative for people that don't use ios.
2:39 lttstore.com
Why does this guy sound like Linus when his face doesn't? So jarring!
How does it compare with the Samsung galaxy tab s7?
@npgoalkeeper _ I haven't tried an apple pencil yet. Some apps only use the phone version, but youtube, note taking apps, drawing apps, office all have decent tablet versions.
@yannick maes I mean, compared to the apple stylus, the Samsung one isn’t much IMO And huh, thought you were locked to the mobile versions of apps only
@npgoalkeeper _ I got a tab s6 lite after I wrote that comment and I actually think the stylus is really good. As for software, I am not missing anything for my use.
No good stylus and software = no good imo
That snort...lol. well done sir well done.
Still don’t get why there isn’t a 128gb version... seems odd they skipped it and only offer a 256gb
Getting one with magic keyboard to replace my work laptop.
Great video!
This video- This ipad is too expensive, and only people with money to blow would buy it. My broke ass who bought one with money I scrambled together over the course of almost 4 years just to afford a decent drawing tablet- :')
I have this iPad and it is great!
damn this audio is crisp
"The debate is over, an iPad can replace your laptop." Drop into a bash shell and give me 20, private.
0:12-0:20. No , it is not. It can outperform most laptops and desktops yes , but their chips are built on ancient nodes. Just give us the new shiny 100 W cpus and 200 W gpus on the 5 nm process, apple chips are built on , and then we will see if they will outperform anything. Low power chips are by definition slower than high power chips, all other important parameters equal. So, people should know and not get fooled by the plaguAPPLE. Comparing ipad 2020 with current laptops is like comparing ipad 2020 with ipad 2017.That's how big the difference is in the hardware technology between the process used on the latest ipad and that used on most current laptops. Ipad 2017 has a geekbench 5 score of about 500(1 core) , and ipad 2020 reaches 1600+ (1 core)...... Rolls eyes.... Laptops and desktops on comparable process with ipad 2017 reach a geekbench score of about 1000(double) and several times the multicore performance of ipad 2017.
@Dylaila M1 also destroys Apple A9 and A10. You probably did not catch this, did you? Let me make it simpler for you. Let me tell you something easier. Not many moons ago , Apple charged for Intel mac , a leg and an arm , for performance that you could easily find elsewhwere for a fraction of the price. O.o And for performance that was nowhere near premiium O.O That is, hardly midrange. What has changed meanwhile? Anyway, to put things straight , we do not doubt the performance of m1, which is excellent, but the conclusions Apple wants to plant into our brain, because of that. That it is revolutionary , somehow godly architecture and so on. The same trick which has slowly tried to pull through the years with the new iterations of iphones. You probably did not understand this too, but don't be ashamed.
My last 3-4 Android phones have had full support for mouse and keyboard too! :P
Stimulus check 600 iPad Air 599.99 😍
Love how he typed 69 instead of 70
If you cant write and execute codes then its not a computer
Just got my iPad Air but it seems like I got a defect product. The touch screen sensitivity seems hard to detect when I soft touch with my fingertip. No issue on my iPad 7th gen
Comparing the A14 to the A12Z CPU is like comparing this year’s Core i5 to last year’s Core i7. The single core performance of the A14 will be a valuable plus though.
i don't even have an iPad why am I watching this
64 GB in 2020 is a joke
Your are amazing nice video
I haven't watched LTT for a year or so, who is this and why does he look like Linus and Luke had a child???
Long story short Its a cheaper ipad pro. Its a ipad
What they didn't tell you is: Windows no longer has an entry in this space, and Android is... just... well, it's just Android. The ipad really had no serious competitor for what it does, at this point.
iPad Air 4 is amazing I have been working with one for 1 week
mark should make more videos, really like the dude, he's grown on me more and more. I feel like he should have his own spin off channel/playlist.
well, i personally really think the ipad air is the perfect gift for college students. i use my ipad every single day
Is this what happens when biased nerds try to do a “review” about a product they actually have no idea about and don’t use themselves but want to make a quick cash grab on ad revenue?
I got 64 gb iPad Air 4 . Having a bast using it for writing drawing and with Apple Pencil Smart Keyboard. Don’t need a laptop computer. It’s my - Mimi computer.
Got 2020 12.9 pro and so far love it
When iPad allows the users to use UNIX terminal, so it is
0:05 Lol. About time. Android has had mouse support for years. Bluetooth and USB OTG.
But can i run Crysis?
Linus is it possible to connect a webcan in pcie slot and rampup the quality to maximum like mobile devices
I still don't get why you wouldn't recommend it. The iPads are the only viable tablets on the market right now, and this one in particular looks like great value.
Its made by apple guys thats all you need to know. If you dont get what im saying, im saying that its the same thing as before just with 1-3 features no one cares about and then priced alot higher with weird letters and numbers or max or lite added to the name
“IN THIS ECONOMY?!” a) i’m fucking dying 😂 b) but really
I know this isn’t a pro review, but damn do I want a 15 inch ipad pro with an M1 chip and better software. 😭 i really hope apple gives ipads their own software; ipadOS still sucks so bad because it’s still based off of iOS.
why does he seems 60 and 20 at the same time
Is this Linus? If it is DAANG HE HAS GROWN A BEARDD
I just got the new iPad Pro. I wanted Face ID, the larger screen, the 120hz refresh rate, and I bought the magic keyboard too! I used to be a Microsoft guy but I thought the iPad Pro was too enticing. My iPad Pro replaces my laptop for sure.
macOS and iPadOS will eventually merge.
Great video
It'd be a laptop if you could actually save files to it or even upgrade components
5:59 XDD cmon its still a toy, we all get it XD
Instead of Educate your audience , you complain. Leaving this channel
Scribble is basically the Apple Newton but better or is it....
LINUS SEX TIPS
Hey guys a lot of you maybe already heard the story of KoolKing Logan. He is an awsome kid who just beat cancer and his dream is to become a youtuber. He really makes quality content yesterday alone he got 50k new subscriber as the internet is banding together to help him out. The only thing he needs is a proper setup. Maybe LTT could help out there and hook him up with proper equipment. It would be nice if this post could get some traction so the right people read this. Here is a link to his channel: roones.info/one/JeoZ5ubCT1FMi9ad63-M-w.html
What I love about iPads is that they cost as much as a real laptop, but can't do the things real working people need to do. So they're perfect for children, students, housewives, and seniors who want a big screen iPhone...lol
Been the most obvious thing for a decade
I think apple have a very specific target for this device. in my opinion, there is no better alternative to the iPad Air + magic keyboard for students. the combo offers an incredibly powerful and versatile device for a lower price. compare it to the MacBook Air ( the most popular device for this audience), it does everything the MacBook does, plus it has a touchscreen. and the App Store. and its lighter. and its cheaper. and its smaller. and its easier to use. and it works better with your iPhone if you have one. its not quite as beefy but its more than powerful enough for multitasking in word and safari. if you go to school/college/uni and you need a laptop for taking notes and getting shiz done - get an iPad!!!!
69 water bottles ? Hell yeah 😂🤣
Loved the video, the script was so well written, good jokes! And the editing was also awesome (not to sound rude but LTT is many a times boring) this one was very interesting though :D
I’m a developer and the iPad cannot replace my laptop. Let me boot up VS Code and Netbeans and then we’ll be in business. Also I’m not hating. I have an iPad Pro because they’re awesome. At this point I guess it would be up to the developers of the coding software I speak of to develop a version for iPadOS.
Ipad won't be a proper computer untill Apple open the ecosystem and allow real applications. It is basically a more locked down chromebook
I hate Riley.
At least both the 2018 and 2020 models are easy to repair and expand storage.
I'd think it makes the most sense to do something like this if you expect to frequently be using the iPad in "detached" mode. Frankly the two-in-one designs are a poor substitute for doing stuff like reading PDFs; the iPad without attachments is better in that case.
it should be: iPad Mini < iPad < iPad Pro .... not sure what's their reasoning
Too bad you can't do a Memory Card deal with the iPhone/iPad like you can with a Samsung Phone/Tablet.. Saying you recorded Great Material Video Clips on your Camera and want to edit it all on Apple devices from the memory card and you can't.
This guy is hilarious!
Buy a Surface Pro
~3 promos in one video!!!
bro you look like luka lol
This guy makes me buy everything 😁😁😁
As a pilot, I love this new iPad Air. Maximum use of real estate by the screen, dont have to rely on FaceID to unlock in case i put on an oxygen mask, and none of the useless cameras/lidar stuff that i will never use. However i would love to have ProMotion too tho
So tired of the iPad will replace your laptop line. I can’t do crap on an iPad except read email and watch youtube. Everything else is annoying. Multitasking is a joke.
Apple: the iPad is now a computer Apple: who cares the MacBook is 10x faster Apple: so is the iPad noob Apple: A14 bionic chip iPhone Apple: Why get that when theres a new watch Apple: track pads on ipads Apple: 1TB ram computer Apple: shut up we don't need that we have silicon Apple: homepod mini with huge sound and siri and intercom and- Apple: iPhone 12 pro max fast and big They're beating themselves before the competition doe
basically you got it in one buddy my ipad pro is now my macbook 😅 bit apple be like i think you should hey both Just to be safe
our man lookin' like *Edward Snopes* in that thumbnail boiii.... *-aight, peace-*
This guy is hot, everyone think it, I just said it!
Waiting for the A14X... A 15inch one would be nice!!!
Can it replace your laptop?No..No..No..No for the foreseeable future.
These kids are so fucking dumb, the Ipad itself is excellent. As a replacement for a latpop for someone who only browses the web, answers emails and watches movies on it, it's perfect and far better than anything else on the market. Low key getting an equivalent quality display would cost you a grand. Anti-Apple resentment is dumb. Just because the device doesn't fit your needs (for most here it's gaming), does not mean the device is bad in any way. Also if you're smart you could just use steam link to play games on your Ipad assuming you have decent internet. I do CS work so I can't use a locked system, but if I were a business man or a lawyer, I would 100 percent use something like this.
@St T. Okay then, iPad Air 256GB costs $749. Surface Pro 7 with 8GB RAM costs $899 and has full-fat desktop operating system and I can hook up external display to it and do pretty much everything I can do on a computer. Yoga C740 costs $879, has a keyboard, touch display, way more storage, is way more useful and just leaves iPad Air in dust as a laptop. So, what is iPad then? It is either overpriced tablet, toy for kids, or extremely bad laptop.
@deadbeef Yeah but you won't get as nice a screen or as smooth an experience. The money does scale with the quality. If you have money then it's not a terrible purchase.
It's just heavily overpriced freakin' netbook then. I can browse web, answer emails and watch movies on $100 tablet, ain't no need to buy an iPad for it.
I am a medical student and I am confused what to go with ipad air or samsung galaxy tab s7? My requirements are for taking notes and some daily stuff. Help!
