  Making the most of my iPad Pro Recently I decided to look into something more portable than my work laptop, but still with the features and processor power to get a lot of what I wanted done. What I landed on is the new iPad Pro combined with the Logitech Combo Touch keyboard case. You can read more about my thoughts on the iPad Pro in another post, today I want to focus on my experience with the keyboard case that is currently retailing for $199.99.
