MacBook Air or iPad Pro???

The iPad Pro was release and it is very interesting but I’m not sure what to do.  I currently, in addition to my work laptop, carry around an 11″ MacBook Air and a pair of iPhones (work and personal).  I work for a financial institution with a lot of restrictions so I do a lot […]

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 – 8.0
