    iPad Pro Initial Impressions of 13 Inch M4 iPad Pro

    I wasn't going to get it, but I caved in last night and had one delivered from the store. 256 GB Space Black. I just bought the 12.9 M2 last year and I've been fine with it. I certainly don't need a new iPad but the YouTube reviews got the best of me. By far the thing you first notice is the...

    M3 Max 14" MBP First Impressions

    First, my order: 14" Space Black MBP M3 Max 16/40 64GB 2TB For reference, I'm coming from a 16" MBP Intel i9 2.3GHz Radeon 5300 32GB 2TB and iMac 27" 5K Intel i9 3.6GHz Vega 48 64GB 2TB.

    iPhone 15 Pro Impressions after upgrading from XR to iPhone 15 Pro

    So, I upgraded 5 days ago from a 5-year old iPhone XR to an iPhone 15 Pro. I am overall a little underwhelmed - here's why. - Design: the 15 Pro is definitely nicer to hold and less slippery. It reminds me of the 5/5S/SE and feels nice in the hand. Alas it is now. in a silicone case (Ryan...

    M1 MBP First Impressions (Former 16" MBP Owner)

    Former 16" MBP owner here who just got an M1 MBP. For the last year, my daily driver has been an Intel i9 2.3GHz 8-Core MBP w/ 5500M GPU. Sounds like a pretty hefty laptop to most people... until the M1. I've spent the last day doing a fresh install and hand-migrating everything from scratch...

    iPhone XR So I’ve only gone and traded my iPhone X for an XR...

    ...and I love it! Keen followers of this forum may recall a few weeks ago I asked the question of “am I mad to trade an iPhone X for an XR?” And the thread was very mixed with a split of opinions on what device to have. Ultimately my eyes decided that the XR was the one for me as it turns out...
