iPad Pro 13-inch (M5)

TL;DR: I ran 6 quantized LLMs on Russet which uses Apple's first-party MLX framework on an iPhone 17 Pro and iPad Pro M5, both with 12GB RAM. LFM2.5 1.2B at 4-bit hits 124 tokens/sec on iPad and 70 tokens/sec on iPhone. iPad Pro is 1.2x–2.2x faster depending on model and prompt length, with the gap

I have an M1 air. And an M5 iPad Pro. Almost the same as you. I don’t see a reason to upgrade the M1 air just yet. Apple Silicon is hard to beat. Cuz on my battle station I run a Dell XPS with an i7, a Chromebook with a Ryzen 3 7000 and the M1 Air. I do similar things with all of them. And different

IPad Air is never getting oled screen, you have a choice between oled in pro or 60hz in iPad Air , the difference is in £€$ hard cash . M5 iPad Pro & m4 iPad Air both have 12GB it’s a simple choice to pay a lot more for premium oled screen or ipad Air IPad Air is mid price because it doesn’t have ol

I haven't had issues with the privacy screen and my eyeballs. Unfortunately it's one of those things you don't know until you use it. I also wear glasses so there is that lol. I went with the blue color cause I always get the dark colors for everything lol. I like it miles more than my 17 Pro max. T

I just bought a silver 13” m5 IPad Pro, Magic Keyboard, and Apple Pencil Pro in ‘open-box excellent condition’ from Best Buy a week ago. Paid $1400 after taxes for all three together and there was the tinniest little scratch on the iPad screen that I can barely see with a zagg screen protector on it

Depends on your use case. If the extra RAM is needed for you, yeah go for it. Not sure if future Apple Intelligence will give something specifically for M5 ipads, but that's for future and it's never good to buy based on what could come later, especially for iPad (M series chip are not utilized to t

Heyooo im looking into getting myself a new iPad because my current one (9th gen ive had since 2022) has been unable to handle running the games i play on a bearable fps that doesnt look like a power pointpresentation (primarily genshin, honkai star rail etc hoyoverse games and persona 5 X). So im l

An iPad Pro with keyboard works very well as a laptop replacement for many people. You just have to learn how to use it. However, why would you put yourself through it, since you do have a laptop. If you had to, you would learn to get along with the iPad. I’m working away from home for months at a t

I wouldn’t be worried about the next big iPad shakeup. I’ve always wanted Apple to shake the iPad up ever since 2015. I’ve noticed they just do small improvements, mostly cause they can and people will still buy. I recently got the M5, upgraded from 2018 iPP. Tbh, M3/M4 probably isn’t that different

ngl waiting on apple ceo rumors is a trap. i ran into this before the m2 dropped and just kept waiting forever. grab the m5 now during back to school - you get those airpods pro 2 basically free. slap on applecare plus and you're covered if next year's model somehow magically gains hovercraft mode.
