This is the brand new base iPad and at $330

it might be the best value Apple product that you can buy.

For 2019 the base iPad sees a few upgrades,

including some more RAM as well as a slightly larger screen.

But for me, there are two major highlights.

First of all is the addition of the Smart Connector.

Now this is something which has slowly been trickling

its way through the iPad lineup over the last few years,

As far as I'm concerned an iPad without a keyboard

But if I wanna get any real work done, I need a keyboard.

Now I'm not exactly sure what Apple's smoking,

charging you a $160 price tag for a keyboard

this is the best value product that Apple sells.

Look how great it is and then they charge you the $160

I'm like well, don't worry about that part.

So something else that the base iPads still uses

you have to plug it into the Lightning port like this.

I can't believe they still charge $100 for this.

Look, I don't wanna beat a dead horse here,

And when you use them together the iPad, the base model

really actually does feel surprisingly close to

So what I've been doing the last few days is exactly that.

This has been my main laptop replacement.

And yes, I just said the words iPad and laptop replacement

Now yes, I'm sure you're probably rolling your eyes

right now the idea of an iPad, a base iPad,

over the last few days of using this as my main system,

I've been surprised exactly how usable it really is.

oh, it's usable if you deal with this compromise,

I mean like I've been able to do pretty much everything

I need to including Google Docs and YouTube

and keeping up with spreadsheets and everything

is that this is just as good of an iPad for most situations

A huge part of this comes down to the second major upgrade,

and arguably the most important one, iPadOS.

So in the past when I was using the beta of the iPadOS

And of course it is supported on a wide range of iPads,

Now ever since the first iPad Pros came out

with the keyboard I'm like, oh you know what,

And I've tried and tried, and I've tried,

but now that we have a full proper desktop browser,

Now yes, there's still some small caveats.

Gone are the days of dealing with terrible mobile apps

like Drive or Docs, which were just not good.

I mean, using the full versions make a huge difference.

this is a full Google Doc, wants to load,

And with the pencil, I can easily select text.

which means that you can now download files on the iPad,

you have access to a full file structure.

So I can set up folders, move files around,

it's getting better to sort of share files between apps.
