Microsoft is getting into the hardware business in a big way, and its new Surface Laptop is poised to compete with the likes of the MacBook Pro and other leading devices. We get our hands on one for our very first unboxing on this week’s episode of Geared Up. Plus, we take a look at Andru’s new iPad Pro 10.5 inch, complete with an preview of iOS 11. We’ll discuss how the devices stack up against Todd’s new MacBook Pro and also dive into Andru’s favorite game from this year’s E3 —  Super Mario Odyssey.
