WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.480 Hello everyone and welcome to a Gamereactor Quick Look, it's iPad time. 00:06.480 --> 00:12.360 And while we have reviewed some of the remaining iPads in the lineup over the past couple of 00:12.360 --> 00:16.880 years, it's been hard to avoid the fact that Apple just didn't really launch any new ones 00:16.880 --> 00:18.680 for a long time. 00:18.680 --> 00:19.920 But now they have. 00:19.920 --> 00:26.680 And this iPad in front of you right here, which is the 13-inch iPad Pro with M4 is significant 00:26.680 --> 00:28.440 for a number of different reasons. 00:28.440 --> 00:32.420 So the first one, I'm going to have to remove it here from the magic keyboard in order to 00:32.420 --> 00:35.680 show you, is from this angle. 00:35.680 --> 00:41.760 This is 5.1 millimeters thick with no compromises in battery, mind you. 00:41.760 --> 00:46.220 And that means that this is Apple's thinnest product ever launched. 00:46.220 --> 00:53.080 So thinner than almost all of the regular small-ish iPods that you think of back in 00:53.080 --> 00:56.100 the middle of the 2000s before the iPhone launch. 00:56.100 --> 00:58.460 This is incredibly thin. 00:58.460 --> 01:03.060 And it is very impressive to think that you get all of this technology and all of these 01:03.060 --> 01:08.780 heat-creating components in such a thin chassis where there is no basic hit to battery life 01:08.780 --> 01:12.860 compared to the last generation of iPad Pro models. 01:12.860 --> 01:18.160 That in and of itself, I think, makes it worth it to at least pay attention to what they're 01:18.160 --> 01:19.740 doing here. 01:19.740 --> 01:25.580 So inside this incredibly thin chassis, you find the M4 chip. 01:25.580 --> 01:30.300 Now, it's too early for us to say anything definitive about the M4 chip. 01:30.300 --> 01:36.860 It's curious that Apple chose to introduce the regular M4 in an iPad first and not in 01:36.860 --> 01:41.460 the regular old MacBook Air and that stuff. 01:41.460 --> 01:42.460 But here we are. 01:42.460 --> 01:43.460 This is the M4. 01:43.460 --> 01:49.820 And it seems to be a more gradual upgrade than some of the other more leapfroggy upgrades 01:49.820 --> 01:52.860 that we've seen from the M line of Apple's own silicon. 01:52.860 --> 01:58.380 But they do claim four times faster rendering than the regular M2, which is the closest 01:58.380 --> 02:05.300 comparison, and a 1.5 times faster CPU than the regular M2. 02:05.300 --> 02:08.980 So you get much more horsepower in here. 02:08.980 --> 02:11.940 The question is, will you be needing it? 02:11.940 --> 02:14.100 Well, that is very difficult to say. 02:14.100 --> 02:20.780 Because while a lot of creators out there say, why put 800 horsepower in a car which 02:20.780 --> 02:23.780 still has to adhere to the speed limit? 02:23.780 --> 02:26.820 Well, the thing is, it's probably not meant for them. 02:26.820 --> 02:31.300 And the people that I know that uses iPads creatively, they need all the horsepower they 02:31.300 --> 02:32.300 can get. 02:32.300 --> 02:36.540 The question is whether or not the ecosystem within the iPad can take advantage of that. 02:36.540 --> 02:41.260 And for much more on that, we have to wait for WWDC in like a couple of weeks to see 02:41.260 --> 02:45.280 where the next version of iPadOS will take us. 02:45.360 --> 02:54.080 There is some sense, at the very least, that you need to understand the confines of iPadOS 02:54.080 --> 02:57.280 in order to utilize these horsepower much more efficiently. 02:57.280 --> 03:00.980 But overall, to get a new chip is a nice upgrade. 03:00.980 --> 03:02.280 What else should they have done? 03:02.280 --> 03:07.240 So new chip, thin, lovely chassis, no hit to battery life. 03:07.240 --> 03:08.800 What about this screen? 03:08.800 --> 03:11.920 Well, there's two things that you should know about the screen. 03:11.920 --> 03:15.320 First off, this is the nanotexture glass version. 03:15.320 --> 03:16.920 That's why it looks matte. 03:16.920 --> 03:18.220 Does it look matte on camera? 03:18.220 --> 03:21.320 I think it kind of does. 03:21.320 --> 03:25.960 It at the very least should appear much more matte on camera as well. 03:25.960 --> 03:30.200 And you can choose to have the nanotexture glass option if you want, or you can choose 03:30.200 --> 03:31.200 not to. 03:31.200 --> 03:35.340 In fact, Apple puts it on their website that you should probably know a lot about your 03:35.340 --> 03:40.520 working conditions to either select the nanotexture glass or not. 03:40.520 --> 03:47.520 Because there is a little bit of hit to contrast, brightness, and some of the inky dark blacks 03:47.520 --> 03:50.160 that you would get by utilizing this option. 03:50.160 --> 03:53.920 But conversely, you don't get any glare. 03:53.920 --> 03:55.800 It's basically an anti-reflective coating. 03:55.800 --> 04:00.120 So in that particular regard, it's very much more appealing for the eyes to look at at 04:00.120 --> 04:03.240 long stretches of time, I would say. 04:03.240 --> 04:05.240 It is also a ProMotion display. 04:05.240 --> 04:06.740 That's 120 hertz. 04:06.740 --> 04:07.740 Very good. 04:08.060 --> 04:13.260 Also what Apple calls an Ultra Retina XDR display. 04:13.260 --> 04:16.620 So this is actually an OLED, which is very exciting. 04:16.620 --> 04:21.400 That's what we've been wanting iPads to have for such a long time now. 04:21.400 --> 04:24.840 But Apple being Apple, this is not just a standard OLED. 04:24.840 --> 04:27.700 It's what they call a tandem OLED. 04:27.700 --> 04:33.180 That means that there are two OLED displays here running in tandem with one another. 04:33.440 --> 04:39.200 That should basically mean that you get the inky blacks that you know from OLEDs alongside 04:39.200 --> 04:46.320 a high peak brightness HDR work environment, peaking at around 1,600 nits, basically. 04:46.320 --> 04:52.160 So you get the HDR performance and you get the saturation and the depth that you would want. 04:52.160 --> 04:54.720 Very, very cool. 04:54.720 --> 04:58.180 They've moved the camera now to this bit right here. 04:58.180 --> 05:02.480 You can still mount your pen at the top, but now the camera's there, which is very nice. 05:02.780 --> 05:05.440 It has center stage, all of the stuff that you would want. 05:05.440 --> 05:10.400 Through the USB Type-C port, the M4 chip enables 40 gigabits per second data transfer speeds 05:10.400 --> 05:13.860 with Wi-Fi 6E and 5G. 05:13.860 --> 05:19.560 And well, this is the best iPad. 05:19.560 --> 05:20.560 That's the long and short of it. 05:20.560 --> 05:21.560 This is the best iPad. 05:21.560 --> 05:25.340 And if you want the best iPad and you work with iPads in general, well, then you should 05:25.340 --> 05:30.640 probably get this one because the amount of horsepower, the thinness, the new and upgraded 05:30.640 --> 05:36.180 Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard, which we've done separate videos on, are all just making 05:36.180 --> 05:40.280 sure that you work your very best with your iPad workflow. 05:40.280 --> 05:45.480 So it's very easy for me to recommend, but we will be fully diving into it in a full review. 05:45.480 --> 05:46.480 Thank you so much for watching. 05:46.480 --> 05:46.980 See you on the next one.
