The new iPad Pro with Liquid Retina XDR display.
To buy or not to buy? That is the question. I enjoy using my current 2020 iPad Pro. I paired with the Smart Keyboard Folio, so that it not only protects the iPad Pro but also gives me a dedicated keyboard for me to write stuff. In fact, all my blog posts are written on... Continue Reading →

Using the trackpad on the iPad Pro, first impressions!
First thing I notice about the Apple’s trackpad: It’s huge! When it was announced that Apple is going to update iPad OS to feature trackpad and mouse support, I was pretty excited.

Why I am not getting the Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro.
I have read the reviews. I have watched the unboxing videos. I have watched all the first impressions of the device. And almost everyone said that the new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro is one solid (and heavy) accessory that gives a superior typing and trackpad experience for iPad Pro users. It is really...

The Magic Keyboard is available to order, weeks ahead of schedule.

And the cantilever that floats your iPad pro makes any fans of minimalistic desktop set-ups drool. But it is so expensive. I will most likely... Continue Reading →
