Can the iPad Finally Replace Your Laptop? Testing Power Users Features
Discover whether the latest iPad OS, combined with essential accessories, genuinely equips the iPad for demanding professional tasks like video editing and external drive management. Learn the critical limitations still holding it back from fully replacing a MacBook.
Short Summary
- The fully accessorized iPad setup often costs more than a comparable MacBook, challenging its value proposition for professional use.
- Basic productivity tasks—scripting, exporting PDFs, and simple photo editing—function smoothly using iPadOS features like windowed apps.
- Advanced workflows, specifically heavy video editing (Final Cut Pro) and mapping specialized external peripherals, reveal significant friction points. This review evaluates the iPad's capacity to manage everyday laptop duties, progressing into complex creative workflows, highlighting both where Apple's tablet ecosystem succeeds and where it conspicuously fails as a true desktop replacement.

Why aren't you my CEO?
Sam, you are probably the most naturally funny person I have ever seen on this platform. Keep up the solid work! ❤
Samsung CEO joke gets me every time 😂
"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably a duck on top of your iPad, and you should probably remove it because iPads are not made for ducks they are made for humans" - Tim Cook
02:33 You're probably the only YouTuber I watch where I don't skip the sponsored ads. True talent in making every minute enjoyable!
I'm so sorry Sam, but if the Kitty didn't sat on the keyboard is NOT a laptop. I don't care what you say, it's not Kitty approved.
Thanks to Paperlike for sponsoring this one! Check out the aaaaallll neeeew Paperlike 3 iPad Screen Protector: https://paperlike.com/samtime/2510
I knew this would be a bust the moment the cat refused to sit on the iPad keyboard. He already knew. Should've stopped there.
A mobile app in a window is still a mobile app. It's pretty straightforward. iPad Pro should have the option to install Mac OS. Period.
"The screen protector has evolved more than the iPad has". 🤣😂🤣
