great review, i was hesitating either to buy 12.9 while i already have 10.5 pro but you convinced me to stick with what i already have 🙂 thank you!,
Did you ever have any "white spot" issues with ipad pro 10.5?
So… why did you buy the 2018 iPad again? Having the 2017 still 🤔
Dear Ali Abdaal, What do you think about the iPad Pro 12.9 2018? Is it worth it to buy just for taking note?
Is he a psychologist?
Who is watching with an ipad pro 2018
Is the 2017 iPad pro worth buying in 2019, considering the price gap between the 2017 and 2018 models? I never had an iPad though.

Hey quick question, what did you use to write on the video, I’m looking for an app that can help me illustrate basketball plays lol
Just love your analysis ! Thx Ali
Should i go with 11'' or 12.9''?
never feels slow, but iPads never feel like they have enough ram, even when just using two apps, they constantly have to reload
I’m a student also currently debating this question. This helps answer my question. Thanks
It's necessary to show product as well. Dislike
brother, MaShaAllah.. i have seen your two videos and im already a fan of your channel.. the way you can convince people, its incredible. can i have your email address please?
Is yours the 11 inch or 12.9 inch?
It absolutely will replace a laptop for many people.
Jo how did you do the cool handwritten thing in your video?
Why have a kindle and iPad?
Thank you. I newly blew a grand on a third Gen iPad pro. Note I'm going to get a refurbished second Gen. ❤️
Ty so much I just diverted my mind from buying iPad pro to buying iPad air 3 2019… Being a medical student…
I could buy video lectures with the remaining money
Hey Ali, what storage capacity would you recommend investing in for a 1st year med student? To give you a broad view of my intended usage, I wanted something that will be able to keep all of my work throughout the rest of my years at medical school, i.e. lecture notes + PDFs + medical textbooks + anatomy drawing (don't know if that takes up a lot of storage). Would appreciate some advice, thanks!
What is the size of this ipad pro? Please suggest a free app for notemaking on ipad. Also make a video of useful apps on ipad for medical student.
Tech in the UK is so expensive. The iPad Pro is $1000 In Canada which is around £565.
I'm debating over getting an ipad pro 12.9 via vodafone.. i have a macbook pro 13" 2016 but the keyboard is driving me crazy…
Ali, I can’t find anymore the video you did with you using your iPad Pro at the hospital. There was some activity techniques which you described so well. Could you help me out please? Thank you and best regards, Catherine
Do you think the iPad 2018 is good enough for a medical student? Can you use Notability on it?
I've just stumbled across your channel today. I currently have an iPad Pro 12.9" (2015) and thinking about upgrading to either the 2018 iPad Pro 11" or 12.9". So I'm doing my usual research and watching reviews before I shell out a ton of money.
Ali, not only are your videos and reviews so well done and very informative, but I think I'm also learning some life lessons, as well as raising some self-awareness. I came to watch a Tech review, but I left with a moral lesson of some sort. Who would've thought a tablet review would get so deep.
I'm still contemplating about upgrading. I know it's not a need, but a want in my case. Maybe I'll wait a few more months when I can get it cheaper.
Keep up the good work Ali! You now have a new subscriber. Cheers from the USA!
How would you compare this to owning a laptop ? can it replace your laptop ?
I don’t have any ipad, I don’t have the cash to burn I just really want I pad pro… so yeah
I am gonna wait for the next release and keep my money
Does anyone know which gb would be recommended for a medical student? iPad 2018 is either 32 or 128gb
Do you play the music that you put in the background or is it someone else?
U guys if u
I love how u broke it down and explained the different situations GREAT JOB
Watching this on the new iPad Pro 😉
iPad Air or iPad for university students?
It has a 11 inch display? Or 12.9?
I love how you make it systematic.
Love being a semi paperless student ✌︎('ω'✌︎ )
