We compared Apple’s newest midtier tablet with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and the Microsoft Surface Pro 7. The starting price isn’t everything when you really start examining the specs.

Hey, guys. Seeing questions about performance. Once we get our hands on the new iPads, we will definitely revisit that.
I've bought both Samsung s7 and the Ipad Air 4. I bought the Samsung orignally being an Android girl. What a nightmare. Reflectiveness from the screen was awful, screen brightness was poor and then the app for office was scaled down meaning I couldn't produce academic posters or use exel properly (which Microsoft confirmed was the case) although it's a BEAUTIFUL tablet, the colours are glorious, vibrant (bar the lack of brightness hindering outdoor use). It just wasn't suitable for my uni student needs. I ended up SWAPPING for a laptop but I STILL missed having thaf tablet experience. That's when I saw a friend using the IPAD Air 4. I had no clue about Apple products, but all I knew is office was running fully as needed and the screen was brighter and less reflective. (Although I stand by Samsung having THE BEST colours) I took the plunge and I bought the Ipad. Feeling like I cheated on Android. I've got to admit (and to a blow to my own android fangirl ego) the Ipad is so much better. Its easy, snappy, has way more useful apps, editing tools and ability for me to take notes for lectures. Not to mention the pen to 'paper' (screen) experience is fantastic. It's light, I prefer the screen dimensions and I'm really happy. So for students if you don't wanna spend on Windows, Ipad Air 4 gets my vote.
With Surface you get the most versatile full featured PC with years of updates but also the bloat that comes with it, poor battery life, and a sub standard touch/tablet experience. With iPad you get the best tablet experience, best battery life, and years of updates, but with a just usable PC experience and lock in to Apple's walled garden. With Galaxy Tab and Dex you get the best of both worlds and decent battery life but with maybe 2 years of updates only. There is no clear winner, only the device that best suits your priorities and needs.
I am new to iPad and all I wanted is an iPad that is good for reading slides, writing notes and reading papers. I am a PhD student and basically my usage is limited to looking at scientific papers and writing notes, etc.
What model and screen size should I be looking at? What pencil should I buy?
Damn do you get paid every time you say “iPad Air”?! Cause I don’t know what you’re referencing PLEASE say iPad Air one more time 🤦♂️ ugh
i meant…. S7 and Surface Pro 7 are more expensive sooooooooooo
i think i will get one, i have worked hard to get a new ipad and my mom might buy me this one, im so grateful 🙏💖
iPad Air is amazinggggggggg !!
Does it have stereo speakers ?
I’m still choosing the air
Is it really fair to campare apples midrange tablet to Samsung’s high end tablet?
There is no comparison between ipad and surfacce pro
At least you can use ipad air without a case
To use surface pro you would have to need a keyboard
Also how do you think 4 gb ram is enough for windows
Who is updating Android Os for tablets? Google is not.
You didnt talk about processors…. how can you not talk about processors 🤨

You guys know real life performance and app compatibility are the 2 most important factor for a tablet right?
Nice!
Pro motion display
Promotion display
Galaxy tab s7 is the best
Salty fanboy fight ensuing. Please bring popcorn 🍿
Samsung igving bundel lot affordable than apple bundel
Is air 4 has headjack or not
You missed on the Samsung Tab S7+ that removable storage up to 1T no need for extra cables for your MAC Pro. With Apple pay for that montly storage $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ extra added.
If your looking for updates.. Windows 10 will always be updated.
How it stacks up?
It stacks up HIGH!!!
VERY HIGH!!!
Unless they update their hardware ie
Cpu to 8 cores
Gpu to 8 cores
Ram to 6 gb
These at least the most important for real overall performance

Well comparing the iPad air to the surface pro 7 even a bit unfair, because one has a full desktop os and the other has somewhat mobile os capable for some miltitasking. But comparing the iPad air to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 is the way to go, and for me the iPad air wins the software battle because of the five years sipport, plus the tweaks they made with the new version of ipad os are great especially the apple pencil, the tab s7 is an amazing device but the lack of proper android tablet apps and the two years software updates don't do it justice, although the hardware is amazing, it isn't the best when it comes to software unfortunately.
The price is very tricky, if you opt for the wifi+lte 256gb ipad air you'll be very close or over the starting price of the 11 inch iPad pro wifi 128gb with its face id, 120hz, more powerful chip. The iPad air is only worth it on the base level 64bg wifi
iPad Air 4 cost $750, 64GB is out of the discussion. 64GB is a joke on a phone or tablet
In the beginning, the voice i thought is linus tech tip lol
S7 only have 60 Hz
Samsung keyboard was on sale for around $115 recently…
iPad Air is waaaay better than the competition
Good luck with your Android tablet ecosystem
I’m getting the air when it’s ready to go out.
Why is he still here? I thought he should have been fired from last video
