Detailed Review
- Recently Apple used M1 Chip for their premium Macbook (laptop) which was the fastest among most of the flagship gaming laptops.
- I was not expecting too much gaming performance from M1 Chip but It was running PUBG Mobile at 90 FPS, that was insane.
- If you are looking for a single device which can do some professional work like 4K video editing/rendering along with hardcore gaming then it will be best for you.
- Camera quality is up to the mark triple camera setup (12MP, 10MP, TOF 3D LiDAR), you can capture 4K videos at 60fps and 1080p at 240fps. You will also get a 12 MP selfie camera where you can record 1080p videos at 60fps.
- There are four loud stereo speakers.
- AnTuTu benchmark score: 1060247
- CPU score is 240977, GPU score is 514792, MEM score is 199257, and UX score is 105221 equaling 1060247 overall scores. The AnTuTu score is the highest score among all the smartphones with snapdragon 888/888+ and some flagship laptops/workstations.
- Geekbench 5 CPU Score: single-core score is 1722 and multi-core score is 7317.
- Geekbench 5 GPU Score: 20875
- Donât worry about battery you can easily get 10-12 hours on screen time and 4-6 hours in gaming but charging may take long (3-5 hours) because of 20W adapter. This device can support up to 45W fast charging and no wireless charging available.
- There are some cons also like there is no 3.5 mm audio jack available. You have to purchase some accessories like magic keyboard, mouse, Apple Pencil, 3.5mm audio jack splitter, if you are going to use this device for professional work and these accessories will try to get more money from you pocket.
Conclusion
If you are going to buy this iPad your main intension could be gaming, video editing, photography and some professional work.
I want to clearly mention here that if your priority is professional work like you have to use some desktop specific application like MS office, Adobe applications or you are a developer, animator, professional video editor then you should not consider this device. A tablet canât offer same privilege what laptops and desktops do, so for these kind of work you can consider Apple Macbook Air or Pro with M1 Chip. Macbook offers more value for money, here you donât need to purchase separate keyboard or mouse.
Camera quality is awesome, but for photographer it is not comfortable to click photos and record videos because of big in size and more than 600gm of weight. If you are a blogger than you can go with iPhone 11 or higher.
Video editing is very smooth here because of fast rendering, but if are a professional video editor like film maker and want to do VFX, animation like stuff then it is not best for you. You canât use Adobe, Maya and other premium graphics application as like you can do with workstation. If you are an artist and graphics designer then go for it you use use Apple pencil (2nd gen) and can make you own world with smooth sketching.
At last our main priority, gaming. If you are a mobile gamer then only you can unlock all the level of performance using this monster. Till now there is no competitor exist in front of this beast but you can compare it with your gaming workstation. 120Hz refresh rate is good enough to achieve the conqueror in any game because almost all the games support less than 120hz but in future it may be more. Even PUGB still supports only 90Hz so you donât need more refresh rate. Scrolling is too smooth you will not feel any flicker and touch sampling is too fast.
So if your are a streamer or upload montages of your gameplay then you should definitely go for this because after getting this iPad you donât need a PC to share your device screen for streaming, video editing and creating thumbnails. You can easily do all these task easily with the help of M1 Chip and can handle all the social media account because of good memory management. The main disadvantages are 3.5 mm audio jack and big size, so your palm and fingers should be big enough for accessing the gaming controls. But you gonna use to it after one/two weeks or it may depend on how much you do practice. If your are not comfortable with the size you may choose iPad mini 5 (A12 bionic chip), which is capable to run PUBGM at 60fps continuously without any lag.
And one more thing you canât be pro with hardware only you need skills and practice also.
