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

I have a lot of thoughts on this topic. I have an M5, 13”, 2TB. I also own a Steam Deck LCD 2TB, a Legion Go (fuck Lenovo) a Switch/Lite, an RP4 Pro as well as a ton of other retro devices, the new GPD Win 5, 4TB, 64GB and a Z13 Flow 2026 as well as a big ass PC. No flex, just saying I have many opt

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 don’t have an Apple ecosystem, just an iPad Pro M5, but it seems you bought your iPad to be some sort of laptop replacement, which isn’t it’s primary purpose. It’s more an all around device that can do light laptop tasks. Laptops like your Macbook Air exist to do the heavy lifting the iPad system

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

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "the steam version which is far superior to the arcade version"? Is the AI different for the Apple Arcade version than the Steam version? I have played one Civ 7 game on a 13" M5 iPad Pro and the experience seemed flawless. Graphics looked great. There are now u

I have an older M-series iPad Pro, and it’s great at almost everything, as long as I don’t use it at full screen brightness, because then it gets quite warm and battery is not holding as well as it did earlier. In general, I think that with the iPad, the hardware is not the problem (assuming there e

I’m still using my 2020 11“ iPad Pro (A12Z) purely for note-taking in GoodNotes. Overall it still works perfectly fine, but it’s showing its age in a few annoying ways: - Gets noticeably hot due to poor Goodnotes 6 optimization. - Thermal throttles, pauses charging, dims display etc during note taki

It’s not really overkill. It’s only $300 more than an air for so much more, that’s plenty worth it. And he clearly wants an Apple product so out of the choices he has the iPad Pro m4 or m5 will be the best value imo.
