iPad Pro 2024 vs. M3 MacBook Air: What are the differences?

It's time for an iPad Pro 2024 vs. M3 MacBook Air face-off.

In the last couple of years, Apple's been strongly positioning its most powerful tablet as a capable laptop replacement. Now that the new iPad Pros are here, it's time to once again take a closer look into the inevitable comparison: iPad Pro or MacBook Air?

Before we begin, we need to set the stage a little bit. Yes, the iPad Pro is primarily a tablet, and by default, it comes without a mechanical keyboard. But Apple's Magic Keyboard...

Compression-mounted laptop RAM is fast, efficient, and upgradeable

Image: iFixit

The first laptop with LPCAMM2 memory is finally here. The folks at iFixit got their hands on the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 (Gen 7), which uses LPDDR5X memory in an LPCAMM2 module that you can upgrade or replace by simply unscrewing from the laptop’s motherboard.

That’s a major change from existing LPDDR memory in most modern laptops. This type of memory is typically soldered onto the motherboard, making it much more difficult to upgrade. LPCAMM2 — or Low-Power...

Why the internet is comparing the Met Gala to 'The Hunger Games'

In J.G. Ballard's 1962 story "The Garden of Time", a count and his wife reside within the walls of their extravagant villa, surrounded by flower-laden groves. Their verdant home appears to be an oasis from the outside world, but suddenly the couple waits with bated breath as a vast mob approaches. The prestige and glamour of the house and their own lofty social status then crumbles as the people sweep through the villa and destroy it.

Ballard’s story served as the theme and dress code for...

iPad Air vs. iPad Pro: What are the differences between the new 2024 models?

Let's dive into an iPad Air vs. iPad Pro face-off. Apple showed off two new iPads on Tuesday at the May 7 "Let Loose" livestream, but you're unsure which is best for you.

We're more than happy to give you the deets to help you make a decision. The new OLED iPad Pro and the new iPad Air are different products that serve different audiences. However, the differences aren't that self-explanatory. One is more expensive with more features, and the other is cheaper, but also has a couple of...

With new $3,000 iPad, Apple proves its evil genius

My 2019 iPad Pro had a pretty good run, all things considered.

Outwardly, the nearly 5-year-old Apple tablet is in good shape. The Magic Keyboard still makes for a useful mini-laptop, especially with the magnetic Pencil. Yet on the inside, its heart seems heavier (literally heavier with that Magic Keyboard, compared to the 2019 iPad Pro keyboard). The battery is still functional, but drains out overnight if I don't plug it in, even with the power hog "background refresh" feature turned off....

M4 iPad Pro hands-on: How the new 'nano-texture glass' looks next to one without it

The new iPad Pro got unveiled at Apple's "Let Loose" event on May 7. Coming in two sizes, 11-inch and 13-inch models, the new iPad Pro made a splash with an M4 chip that jumps a generation (i.e., from the predecessor's M2 chip to the current M4 processor).

Apple boasted that the new iPad Pro is really thin — like "iPod Nano" thin. I got a chance to briefly play around with the new iPad Pro models — and yeah — these tablets are surprisingly slim. And they're very featherlike, too.

The most important upcoming hardware product for Sonos is undoubtedly its long-anticipated Sonos Ace headphones. They will mark the company’s debut in a massive (and highly competitive) new category. But spring and summer are always the seasons of new portable speakers, and Sonos hasn’t forgotten about that part of its business.

The company has been developing a sequel to the Sonos Roam, the tiny portable speaker it released three years ago. I’ve obtained images...
