T2 also features an SSD controller which has automatic on the fly data encryption, offering the most secure storage of any notebook.. The new MacBook Air has our latest generation keyboard with keys that offer four times the stability over the previous generation..

Portrait landscape attached to a keyboard and no matter how you use these new iPad Pros. They are always right side up.. Now, with support for Face ID, you might’ve noticed, there’s no longer a home button.. Well, no home button means that all those familiar gestures from the iPhone X now come to the iPad..
