iPad Pro from 2nd gen to M1/M2 version - worth the upgrade EN performance-wise?

[JustMatt 9]

Dear all,

I am considering an upgrade from my current iPad Pro 11 inch (2nd generation) to an iPad Pro 11 inch (with M1 or M2 chip)?

Has anyone experience or does know if EN performance will benefit from such upgrade?

Cheers,
Matthias

Upgrade! Full disclosure I have no idea if it will help with Evernote performance but as an Apple girl....... upgrade!

Seriously, if you have the cash I would do it. I would make sure that there aren't any events from Apple in the works though, you know how they are. You'll buy it and two days later a new one will come out.

We came from a Pro 10.5 to an Air 5, with M1.

WOW !

On the other hand, then 10.5 never was slow. We still use it as our travel iPad, it has 500GB of memory, so we can backup our pictures there. It still is snappy and up to any job we throw at it. But when you go into tasks that profit from more horsepower, like developing RAW pictures, panorama stitching or video edits, you feel that the M-generation has more number crunching and a lot more RAM. And it runs stage manager, which currently is nice, but hopefully will lead into more real multitasking on iPads soon. With EN iOS, not much of a difference, works fine on both.

I took the step from my A12Z chip iPad Pro to the Pro 11 with M2. EN works noticeably faster. I hope this helps everyone who is not sure whether such a hardware upgrade is worthwhile.
