Love the wallpaper on your laptop and iPad. I keep forgetting about the split view on the iPad, need to use that more. Funny how you had Mother’s Day up on your calendar then, it was Mother’s Day here yesterday. Feel free to talk more about your workouts, I’m sure it will help a lot of people. I love the graphic design stuff I can do on the iPad, it’s surprising how capable it is. Great video again my friend! 🎉

Today I purchased the iPad Air 5th Gen. After watching your videos along with a few others, I started to think working from the iPad would be more beneficial than using my prior laptop. I bought a rather inexpensive Lenovo a few years back and carrying around something larger and outside of the Apple ecosystem didn’t fit in well with my lifestyle. I’ve had an iPhone since 2011 and don’t seem myself ever switching. I’ll be sure to rewatch many of the users videos to see how much the iPad will organize my life and goals.

I got an iPad last year, still trying to figure out to use it more as i do work from home on my laptop, unfortunately i can’t use the iPads to work, the platform does not work on iPads lol. This video does helps me to get ideas. Thank you

your videos and thumbnails are simple and elegant, i would just say Noice, good going brother😊

Purchasing the 14 Pro 6.1 and mini was the best decision. When out and about, I no longer need the 11’ iPad Pro, digital camera, or the Pro max. Much easier to carry around without the worry of being mugged or ripped off while using the camera or larger iPad.

Me watching this on an iPad mini 👀 I literally feel the same way as you - if I had a tablet in school I feel like my grades would be better! I used to hand write notes on sheets of paper and would get frustrated when they were messy. Apps like GoodNotes make it so easy to make everything look neat while still getting the benefit of handwriting. I would also love to see a tutorial on how you make your animated drawings in Procreate! Great vid as always!

Thank you so much for sharing your insight. This video came at a right time. When I was a student, I did not find iPad fit for my study because I like to take notes on my textbooks so I just gave it to my sister. However, I am reconsidering buying an iPad mini as my planner and e-reader as I don't want to carry a physical planner and physical books around, but I get easily distracted so I have to think carefully about this.

Hi Nicholas! Do you mind sharing the link to the wallpaper?

I think you would get a kick out of a technique I invented and had implemented in a very good iOS writing app, (Notebooks by Alfons Schmid of Austria) that actually and factually makes most editing operations on the iPad Mini FASTER and requiring LESS ANATOMY than what is normal on a regular computer. So... you've got pretty fast inputting on the comfortable 8" virtual keyboard, way faster editing, (no longer requiring selection and dragging of mini-handles), very fast formatting (thanks to markdown and certain markups), crazy fast dictionary look-ups (as well as Wikipedia type stuff). That makes the iPad mini the one and only instant-on, work anywhere, in any position writing device for long form writers (novelists, screenwriters, translators, scholars, lawyers, etc.) on the market.

Need that wallpaper asap! Great video

This is one of the best and simple videos on how great and versatile the Ipad Mini is. I been getting them as Christmas gifts for my family and setting it up for them and their use cases and writing and planning like you said is one of the best use cases. It's just so simple and easy that it becomes like second nature to spend the 15-30 minutes just checking quick things you don't want to be bothered by like you said split view is huge when keeping track of the finances. Vanguard is great. I like to have something like skillshare open with a class while I figure out how to clean up my portfolios :) once you get into the swing of things with Notion it becomes one of the best apps on the IOS ecosystem. it's a bit overwhelming at first to get started with it but it really is nice to be able to keep track of those quick to do list and check lists and things of that nature.

I own an ipad mini 5 (and an ipad pro 2018 too) I wish for an ipad mini 7, with a minimum of 128gb, and thinner bazels. It will be a very good companion for my Fujifilm X-E4 photo camera.

@NicholasGarofola

Agreed, 128gb should be the minimum at this point

I’m still on the fence about buying the mini. I don’t like doing everything on my phone and I already have a main computer to do more heavy stuff. I would utilize for streaming like Prime or Crunchyroll, play some app games, and read. I have a PS4 that can do some of those though. I think is more of a cost than getting something that can do the same thing as the stuff I already have.
