Apple shook up the tablet market once again, as the tech giant has finally released the 2021 version of the much loved iPad Pro. Loaded with Apple s new and bespoke M1 chip and 5G connectivity, Apple promises that this will be the fastest iPad yet, but is that really the case?
Henry T. Casey of Tom’s Guide said: “The Apple iPad Pro 2021 is a speed demon with its M1 chip.
“It turned in huge scores in geek bench 5 and a great time on our adobe premiere rush test.
“Over at Tom’s Guide we gave it a 4.5 and an editors choice award for everything being great. The 12.9 inch has the HDR liquid retina display and you are going to get the best benefit out of that on HDR content. So you are probably going to want to know what has HDR and what doesn’t.”

The most obvious example of the updated graphics ruining the tone of a scene is the overhauled version of Mass Effect s Eden Prime, which trades the ominous blood-red skies of the original game for a bright and warm sunset vista, complete with a giant lens flare. This makes the location look more realistic based on its in-game description, but it also makes the game s opening level feel much less nerve-wracking and tense. There was something distinctly terrifying and downright intimidating about how the Sovereign made a paradise world known across the Milky Way for its lush beauty look like a hellscape. That has been lost in the remaster.

Mass Effect 2 is the best of the lot. Mass Effect 3 was controversial but mostly because it quite cleverly upended expectations about how a space opera should end.
And now the Legendary Edition updates all three games for today s tech and standards. Refined gunplay, better graphics, smoother all round.
There are so many remastered games nowadays that it s easy to be suspicious: are they just an attempt to get new cash for the same old material?
But with Mass Effect even with some creaky, original design still showing it s an important act of preservation. A hundred more hours with Commander Shephard and her buddies? I ll do it all over again.
