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 Air, however, is much easier to evaluate. Since its 2020 redesign, the Air has had nearly the same form factor as the Pro, with some corners cut to differentiate … [Read more...]
M4 iPad Pro review: The best tablet in the world gets better, but by how much?
I would like to begin this review by admitting something to you.

While all of those praises are still technically true, now that I've had a week to actually use it, I am not sure if … [Read more...]
iPad Pro (2024) review: So very nice, and so very expensive
It hasn’t even been released yet, but Apple’s new iPad Pro is probably one of the most divisive devices the company has made in years. On the one hand, it’s an undeniable feat of engineering. Apple squeezed a new M4 chip and “tandem” OLED panel into a tablet that’s somehow thinner and lighter than the one it replaces. And the prior iPad Pro was no slouch either, garnering loads of praise for its … [Read more...]

The iPad event came at an awkward time for the tablet, which … [Read more...]

We tried out GPT-4o, and it's so much faster than GPT-4
Remember when comparing Google's Gemini to ChatGPT just how much faster Gemini was? OpenAI clearly didn't like that, because GPT-4o is so much faster than GPT-4 ever was that it makes GPT-4 look archaic in comparison. We've been testing out GPT-4o for a little while since it launched, and the difference is staggering. As you can see even in the above video, asking GPT-4o to generate a CSV took … [Read more...]
