What it’s like travelling with the 11” Apple iPad Pro

A few weeks ago I ditched my MacBook Pro and decided to do my trip around Southeast Asia with just an iPad Pro. It has been a blast aside from a few things that I’ll get into. I’ve upgraded to the latest iPad OS Beta, which has significantly improved the usefulness of the iPad, and so that begs the question — is it a good laptop replacement? The answer: YES.

So when I was in Malaysia I decided to pick up the latest iPad to take as a test drive and sent the MacBook Pro home.
