Apple on Monday announced a couple of new iPad models — the 2019 iPad Air and iPad mini — with prices starting at $499 and $399, respectively.

Both devices share the same set of specs, and both of them are almost as powerful as the 2018 iPad Pro — the new tablets have the iPhone XS’s A12 Bionic chip inside, rather than the A12X flavor that goes into the Pros. That makes them great alternatives to the iPad Pro, which is more expensive, or the regular iPad, which isn’t as powerful. If you’re looking for even better prices for either the Air or the mini, some retailers are have already introduced deals.

Bond fans — this is going to be a tough pill to swallow. Netflix is dumping not one, not two, but eleven James Bond movies next month, including Casino Royale, Goldfinger, and The Spy Who Loved Me. If you’re looking to get your spy fix in, you’ll need to do it before April, because they’re all being removed on the 1st.

Netflix will also be losing the entire Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, which, believe it or not, was actually a really solid entry into the Star Wars canon (unlike the prequel movies). Other tough losses include Billy Madison, I Love You, Man, Silver Linings Playbook, and all four seasons of Luther.

The month of April will be a fantastic month for entertainment. Not only does Avengers: Endgame launch on April 26th, but Game of Thrones premieres on HBO nearly two weeks before that, and it’ll eventually bring an end to the saga. We’ve already learned a bunch of things about the final season of the show. We know that some episodes will be as long as movies and that one of these episodes will deliver the longest battle scene ever shot on video. But we have no idea what happens or how the show will end — the finale has been a closely guarded secret, a previous report said. But Kit Harington, who plays Jon Snow on the show since its inception, has spoken at length about his journey in a new interview, and he may have dropped a huge spoiler about Jon Snow’s fate in season 8.

After hyping up its big “vision for the future of gaming” for weeks, Google took the stage at GDC 2019 on Tuesday to unveil a new cloud gaming platform called Stadia. As expected, Stadia isn’t a new console or a suite of hardware, but rather a service that will allow users to play games on virtually every device they own. At launch, Stadia will support desktops, laptops, TVs, tablets, and phones, and you can seamlessly jump between them all.

Set to release before the end of the year, Stadia will allow unprecedented access to games. During one stage demo, Google showed how you could be watching a trailer for Assassin’s Creed Odyssey (for example), and click a button to begin streaming that game on your device just seconds later without any downloads or installs.
