Life isn't quite so sweet in the third row. It's not the 29.6-inch (752mm) legroom so much as the fact that you're sitting only a couple of inches above the floor and your knees nearly at face level. Using the third row as seating also cuts heavily into cargo capacity—just 12.6 cubic feet (357L).

How to pick the best iPad keyboard trackpad case
Apple's new Magic Keyboard is the type of nearly Mac-like peripheral that I've wanted on an iPad for years. Or, almost. I've tested it on an iPad Pro, along with a Brydge Pro Plus for iPad Pro, and the Logitech Combo Touch for the 10.2-inch iPad and 10.5-inch iPad Air (or 2017 10.5-inch iPad Pro).
