The VERY Best iPad Pro Keyboard 2019/2020 – IMHO

theharlansLeave a comment

I have a cellular/wifi enabled iPad Pro 11″, Model No. MU162LL/A with a 256GB drive and I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Logitech Slim Folio Pro (Link).

It has the ability to fold easily, type on, and even fold away to enable screen writing. There is nice space for the pencil to magnetically attach to the case for storage/charging. I travel 50%-75% of the time and can adjust the screen in various positions to watch a movie or compose an email. It is Bluetooth and requires charging via USB-C, but very seldom as it has great battery life.

There’s this article that came out that has some other choices, but for the price and utility, this one is darn good.

AT&T Uverse Gig Speed Year in Review – 2019

So, I’ve had this service for 30m or so. If your hardware supports the speed, i.e., is new, then you can enjoy the benefits of crazy fast downloads. I tested via my office VPN and could download a 500Meg file in about 3 minutes where I showed 26 down / 35 up. When I downloaded that same 500Meg (non-cached) it seemed like less than 1s, where I showed 575 down / 876 up.  If you don’t have updated NIC/OS/etc, then you won’t get the benefits of Gig speed. Not sure that’s in the advertisement. So far, no need to change and I’m relatively happy.

For 2019 the chart looks like:

The numbers are deceiving as I’m running the speedtest app through a Raspberry Pi that maxes out at 300M/s on the hardware. Not sure why I’m getting low test speeds on this app, because when I direct connect to the modem, the up/down speeds tops out close to 1Gbps.

The 2019 numbers are:

Down (Mb/s)Up (Mb/s)
194.28091.122
