Yep, I love this #iPadAir2020. Getting the Air over the Pro gives you a bit more money for this #MagicKeyboard. 100% recommend the keyboard! I do notice the lack of 120hz but I’ve adjusted to it fairly quickly. Green all the way for me. pic.twitter.com/nBc2GU9J80

Griffin's eye for detail has also made it quite helpful for her viewers to make decisions between any two or three devices, as she gives her balanced opinions on each. These reviews can be for various smartphones, tablets, PCs, and even tech accessories.
The tech reviewer also showed off her tech skills by building a Nintendo Switch herself, for less than $300.

Launch day #joycons 2017 vs Skyward Sword 2021 joy-cons. The black pads you see only exist on the right joy-con. I’ve never seen them on the left.
