| I'm still rocking my M1 iPad pro with 16gb ram, but about to tackle a project that's just under 100k sqft. Is the M1 with 16gb memory enough? Users that have upgraded, could you see a substantial improvement in performance or alignment speeds when scanning? I'm scanning with a Pro 3. Thanks! | ||

| Sure, there is an improvement with the next generation ipads, but since you have the option to merge spaces it is not really necessary to upgrade now. I will upgrade to an iPad Pro with more RAM than 16GB. I am still scanning with an M2 iPad Pro 16GB. More important than upgrading is storage management, delete or archive spaces that have been uploaded to the cloud and finished editing. |

| Hi @JasonZ, Having used M1, M4, and The M5 versions I can say that the difference in the field is very noticeable on large capture projects. You don’t say what kind of property you are capturing as open factory space, complex office space, and spaces with significant exterior spaces are very different projects. The more complex the space and the especially those with exteriors with a lot of detail are the area where you will see the biggest difference. The M5 with 16GB RAM is noticeably faster processing the sweeps as it has a much improved processor. I also found that we had no issues with the system grinding to a halt requiring reboots etc with the M5. Good luck with the project, if possible it would be interesting to see the finished model.

| @Gladsmuir It's a 3 story public library.If the project materializes I'll definitely share. Just wanted to make sure I'm equipped properly before anything is finalized. | ||

| As @Gladsmuir commented, if ever you’re knee-deep in a large scan and suddenly notice an increase in alignment time, pause to reboot the iPad and camera. When you begin again, alignment times will be quick again. Not sure why this is, but it works and saves much time as you continue work. | ||
