So, the way this test is set up is almost the only way possible at the moment for an iPad configuration. So let’s rephrase the question better: if we take out a desktop or laptop PC, can we still fit the iPad in the same workflow? It’s about having calibrated monitors, input devices, external disks, and much more. So what are we looking for actually? Raw computing power is a fraction of what makes a standard computer the tool of choice for all of us. We’ve seen already the amount of power that can be delivered by the ARM chips inside these thin devices as well as we’ve seen them edit 6K files coming straight out of an S1H.

The real question here is not about the ability of the iPad to cut through footage and edit timelines. Or do they? The Everyday Dad is always ready to throw himself under the bus to test if a piece of gear is good enough or not.

And for the most part, that’s even true.įilmmakers are part of one of the few categories, together with VFX artists, engineers, architects, and a couple more, who still actually needs a real computer to crunch through their insane projects and humungous data rates.

Now, the day we’ve seen Steve Jobs sitting on his sofa and gently tapping and swiping on the first iPad, we could bet that most of the tech enthusiasts were already imagining the moment when a tablet could completely replace the computer. Lacking a great presentation due to the lockdown that is still holding the planet, this new and improved model has a few bumps that can grant better performance.
