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.

iPad Pro review before iPad OS This device is simply amazing. The design is what takes my breath away every time I pick it up to hold. 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...

Overview The Pros: Great battery life (up to 10-12 hours per charge) 256 GB SSD Hard Drive (we love the silence of a solid state hard drive!) Thin and portable enough 15.6" 1080p HD display screen (1920 x 1080) Dedicated NIDIVIA 940MX 2GB video card Intel i5 - 7 series processor The low price point The Cons: Trackpad feels a little cheap, too "bouncy-clicky" Display screen seems just a little bit dim, even on full brightness setting Overall: 3.7/5 STARS A great budget laptop that packs a punch! Made for the number cruncher, the student who values the balance between portability and performance, or the everyday person who likes watching a lot of videos and playing the casual game. The Physical The Acer Aspire E15 generally feels great in the hand when it's folded and carried it around. Despite having about 2 times the thickness of a MacBook Air, Acer did a great job at keeping the weight down to be able to say...
