I’ve been using my 2018 iPad Pro 11-inch during my travels around Southeast Asia for a while now and it has changed the way I travel entirely. Previous to my iPad, I was travelling around with my 13-inch MacBook Pro 2017 base model which would handle all my computing needs. However after a couple of months on the road backpacking my way around places to places, I decided one thing. The MacBook is too heavy to lug around in my bag and the computing power is just barley enough it edit the 4K content I shoot for my travel videos. It didn’t fit my needs. 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.

The sharp square edges, the light weight, and the professional look of the Space Grey. Just the other day I decided to bite the bullet and pick up the trio package (the iPad Pro 11 inch 256 GB space grey, keyboard type cover, and the 2nd generation Apple Pencil) and to my surprise, there are some pros and cons that I have come to realize about this product.   Older generation iPads lacking design I’ve always been in the market for an iPad since the first one came out, but have held out year after year because it just didn’t feel like they were “the one.” Some of you may have experienced this feeling, it’s when you pick up the old generations of iPads, you can’t help but feel it’s just a blown up iPhone with a lot of rounded bulk. Especially the entry level iPad which feels a little cheap with the outer glass instead of a laminate...
