The 2018 iPad Pro is the most compelling new iPad to be released since the original. Whereas all previous iPad models more or less have had notable but incremental refinements and improvements, this new 2018 iPad is the tablet that Apple has longed to make. Thanks to its flat edges, the 2018 iPad Pro looks vaguely similar to the original version, but that’s where the similarities abruptly end.

Harman Kardon products are always packaged nicely and the Esquire Mini is no exception. The unit itself is slightly bigger than an iPhone 6 and about twice as thick....

Quentin Tarantino is one of the most beloved filmmakers working today. There are many factors that contribute to his unique style, but in broad strokes, he picks a well-worn genre, presents his own take on it, delivers the goods with all the familiar tropes, and goes the extra mile to transcend the trappings of said genre. The director claims he’s only making one more film before he retires, and while that might not turn out to be 100% true, he may only have a handful more movies in him....

It is basically an extra monitor that connects to your USB port and frees your monitor port for other uses....
