REVIEW – Since I bought my iPad Pro 11 inch last year, I have intended to use it as a laptop replacement while not at my desk.

REVIEW – Over the years I have tried some of those wifi repeater products to boost the wifi signal in the dead spots in our house. I was never really satisfied with the spotty results, and many of them require that you give it an SSID that is different than your main SSID. And sometimes
