Review: Apple iPad Pro 10.5-inch

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Since it’s inception in 2010, Apple’s iPad seemed destined for lofty goals. It ushered in the ‘Post-PC’ movement, set competitors scrambling to release competing tablets, and appeared at a time when PCs were spiralling on a multi-year decline.
