iPad Air (2024) review: Of course this is the iPad to get
The expensive and gorgeous iPad Pro M4 is a complicated device that’s hard to outright recommend — does it make sense to spend well over $1,000 for a tablet with the inherent limitations of iPadOS compared to a Mac or Windows PC?

The iPad event came at an awkward time for the tablet, which … [Read More...]
Apple iPad Pro (2024) review: the best kind of overkill

But wow is it fun to use.The new iPad Pro is a genuine achievement in tablet design. It’s the closest thing I’ve ever seen to the vision that a tablet should feel not like a computer but, rather, like a piece of glass in your hand. I’m honestly not sure how you’d … [Read More...]

And while the two of them happily live separate from one another, the tech giant wants both of them to work together well. This has prompted Google to show off ChomeOS running off of an Android phone, … [Read More...]
