Best Apple iPad so far, worth the wait

on June 18, 2017

Posted by: wendeljohnsmith

I have been holding onto my aging iPad Air (yes, from 2013) until a worth upgrade came along. And this was definitely the right one. I couldn't jump on the 2 since I knew it would immediately replaced (the new iPad), and I knew the Pro's were going to be updated as well. It was a long wait but well worth it. I highly suggest the upgrade to anyone who has an IiPad Air or older generation. If you have an iPad Air 2, it may not feel as worth it.

In summary, the bigger screen and slimmer bevel is subtle, but after using it for a few days now, I couldn't imagine it any other way. It looks so good! And the increased refresh rate of the screen. Man, 120 Hz is the way to go and makes everything look very nice. Colors are great and the size feels good too.

Best Windows laptop hands down.

on June 17, 2017

Posted by: wendeljohnsmith

Just a disclaimer: I love Apple product and have had them for a long time, but am now slowly making the switch BACK to Windows. Read further if you're an Apple owner on the fence about switching over.

I agree with the first reviewer as well. Overall, a great laptop, and can handle mostly everything you throw at it (except heavy video editing or something graphic intensive), however, you must remember this laptop isn't made for that type of work. I did a lot of research on this laptop before purchasing and am definitely glad I did. I have been waiting a while for a good laptop to come out because all the other brands seem to do much of the same, and unfortunately, Apple has left their "prosumers" behind by putting in sub par components or lacking innovation.

So, for the Surface Laptop: Very well designed, clean, and what we call nowadays as "Apple" like quality. The screen is amazing, clear, bright, and color accurate. And the touch gestures as well as interacting with Windows 10 works very well. Keyboard took a few hours to get used to because I was used to the Macbook Pro, but it definitely feels great and superior to the new Macbook Pro keys that feel very unnatural. The only bummer I'd have to say about this laptop is the lack of ports. Like who uses a Display port anymore? They should have just put a USB-C port there instead or another USB port. Performance wise, I haven't put it through the loops yet, but working with Adobe Creative products (Illustrator, Photoshop, etc) have been pretty smooth so far. I treat this laptop as my day to day laptop instead of my powerhouse (currently my old macbook pro). I am waiting for the new Surface Book 2 or a higher powered Microsoft device before I make the move. But I can say with confidence that I am definitely a Surface customer now. The build quality for Windows is refreshing.
