One of the most amazing features of Prime Day deals, is that a discount on one piece of tech, like the $19 off this Magic Keyboard for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (it was $349 and now it’s down to $330) can open up an entire world of opportunity. Attaching this Magic Keyboard to your 12.9-inch iPad Pro allows you to jump into an entirely different, wider, wonderful world of computing. Just like that, and for less.

Many of us love the idea of bridging the gap between a laptop and a tablet. Both of them are so perfectly convenient in their own way, but neither can quite make up for the other’s shortcomings. Enter Apple’s Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro 12.9. It brings us closer than we’ve ever been to the iPad-as-laptop configuration.

When Apple launched the new Magic Keyboard, they updated the trackpad, so that you can use your iPad Pro in a whole new way. It’s smaller than the trackpad on your average MacBook, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less functional. The scrolling response is lightning quick and your two-and-three-fingered swipes and scrolls are followed with precision. And it’s clickable, which opens up even more functionality with your iPad Pro.

As for the keyboard (which works best on a flat surface, like your desk, as opposed to your lap), the backlit function is superbly helpful and not at all distracting. The keys have a satisfying snap motion when they’re pressed and it’s intelligently spaced in terms of how your fingers will want to travel it. It’s missing some of the supplementary keys you’re used to on MacBook, like volume and brightness, but you’ll barely notice them and their absence won’t affect your work, play, or communication, in the slightest.

As we’re looking to spend more than ever at home, iPads are becoming new office go-to’s. Applying a Magic Keyboard lets you take your iPad Pro, and therefore your office machine, anywhere. It’s the ultimate level of hybrid functionality, and it can be yours, this Prime Day, for $19 off. It’s down to $330 from its regular price of $349.

The new iPad Pro would be perfect, if only it were a Mac

It’s no secret that I’ve been cheering on Apple’s gaming advances over the last year or so. Long-suffering Mac gamers have gone from being the forgotten also-rans of Apple’s ecosystem to feeling on top of the world, all in a very short period of time. But there’s one vital piece missing from the puzzle, and Apple’s new M4 iPad Pros have made it incredibly obvious.

I’ll admit, Mac gamers have been treated well in recent times. Not only have we had phenomenal hardware advancements in the form of the M3 Max chip -- which is a genuine gaming chip so cool and quiet that you’d be fooled into thinking it’s not -- but there’s also been a slate of top-tier games arriving on Apple’s platform, including my beloved Baldur’s Gate 3. It’s a good time to be a Mac gamer.

MacBooks have held a dominant position in the laptop world for the past few years. Though there have been meaningful rivals from the Windows side of the aisle, the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro still feel like they hold an unshakeable lead at the moment.

But according to the latest reports, the most serious challenger to the MacBook's reign won't come from Windows -- it'll come from within Apple in the form of some very advanced new iPads.

Could the Vision Pro replace your iPad? There’s just one problem

In the time since it launched in early February, we’ve heard a lot about how Apple’s Vision Pro could replace some of the company’s other devices, especially the iPad. Now, prominent leaker Mark Gurman has joined the fray and lent weight to the idea of the headset becoming a tablet killer. But while that seems plausible, there’s one major problem with it.

Specifically, it’s the price. Because while Gurman’s Power On newsletter makes some good points about the Vision Pro’s strengths, it can’t get around the unavoidable obstacle that is the device’s $3,500 asking price. If the Vision Pro really is going to replace the iPad, a lot has to change first, especially given how wide of a range of prices the iPad line hits.
