This wasn‘t exactly planned but man is it a nice upgrade

I still have my 2021 M1 iPad Pro 12.9" and have no desire to upgrade yet. The M silicon is truly a work of marvel from Apple and have only had a previous iPad Mini 5 for 4.5 years, when I upgraded to the iPad Mini 7 (and that one was noticeably slower after all those years: A12 to A17 Pro)

How many of you would be moved by this Macbook A18 Pro?

I’m very tempted. I have the iPad mini 7 that has the A17 pro and that covers MORE than my power needs so the A18 pro in a laptop? I could be very swayed

Bring laptop or invest in mini tablet?

EDIT — Corrected some wrong info, and gave links to relevant information to "prove" it correct. —————————— Oh boy, I love tech. Don't mind my comment, but tldr; I'd go to the Apple store and see if you can experiment with Lightroom/CapCut to see if it'd work for your use case. Tbh I had very little

New iPad Air Models With M3 Chip Seemingly Confirmed by Leaker

When the iPad mini 7 was a couple months out from release there were rumors of it getting the A17 instead of the newer A18. And plenty of people including me said, that can’t be right. The A17 Pro is based on an end of life chip and processor node that Apple wants to stop producing. But we have an i

Apple Unveils 10th-Gen iPad With A16 Chip and More Storage

My guess is it’s like the iPad mini and Air where they’re stopping referring to it externally as a new generation, more based on their processor like they do for Mac’s. Especially because this gen the Airs and Base levels seem EXACTLY the same save for a processor bump, they’re just gonna call it iP

Is the mini 7 worth forking out the extra cash over the A16?

I think the big thing you wanna think about is longevity, better chip will get you more years out of it. A16 is an aging chip and doesn’t even support Apple Intelligence.

iPad Mini 7 or Lenovo Y700

iPads with A17 Pro and above with ported AAA titles are quite capable for gaming too now. If you are also concerned with longevity there's nothing better than Mini

My Razer Remote Play Experience

Hey Ya'll! I've been testing out Razer Remote Play since CES Announcement and just wanted to give my 2 cents on how it's been for me so far. (It's a longer post, so I'll start with the TLDR)

TLDR
It's been working perfectly on my android device, but not so great on my iPad.

For context, heres w
