It took me 20 minutes to make Amazon’s new Android tablet perfect
The Google Play Store, YouTube, and Google Docs installed on an Amazon Fire Max 11.

In this pursuit, the iPad Pro has proven to be a terrific gadget that allows me to get away from the clutter on my desk without giving up the capabilities of a computer. Being a Mac user, the iPad Pro easily fits into my workflow, primarily for seamless Continuity.
