It’s 2021, and the iPad still isn’t entirely a Mac replacement for me. But it’s so, so close.

It’s a new month, so presumably, it’s time for a new sale at Best Buy, a retailer that has more sales than a six-mast schooner (and yes, I am aware that pun doesn’t work because sail is spelled differently). This time around, Best Buy is having a three-day sale that started Friday night and runs through the end of today. …

Google has added to Chrome OS’s support for tablets, too, with new touch gestures and a tablet mode for the Chrome browser making this slim, small two-in-one feel like a hybrid of the desktop side of Chrome and tablet side of …

The new iPad Air feels great, like an iPad Pro for less, and it works (like all current iPads) with trackpads and keyboards. But those accessories don’t come included. There are multiple sold-separately keyboard case options with trackpads. One, by Apple, is extremely expensive. Another from Logitech is nearly half the price.

Update, Sept. 21, 2021: Microsoft will hold its 2021 Surface event on Sept. 22, when the Surface Duo 2 is rumored to arrive.

A full review of the Duo is coming soon, but in the …
