Is the iPad Pro 11 actually worth the premium price, or should you save money and buy the iPad Air instead? After using the iPad Pro in real-world situations, I share the reasons I bought it, where it excels, and who I think should (and shouldn't) spend the extra money. This isn't a benchmark-heavy review. Instead, it's a practical buying guide focused on everyday use—including travel, note-taking, productivity, reading, media consumption, and working from cafés. If you're deciding between the iPad Pro vs iPad Air, 11-inch vs 13-inch iPad Pro, or even the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11, this video will help you choose the right tablet for your needs.

Sets up Jellyfin to stream your own movies and shows to any device. A great alternative to paid platforms.
