MacBook Neo Review: The Best Laptop for $600 Is Even Better at $700 The MacBook Neo is an absolute banger of a budget laptop, but life's too short to live without Touch ID.

Personally most interested in Neo for its extended possibilities w the chip and the approach, as a first step. But also, budget laptop success! CNET’s review (I haven’t seen one yet) www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

It’s not comforting. I have start of pandemic memories kicking in and NFL free agency is making me think of my dad passing away this time 14 years ago

Also: what is iPad in a Neo world? I think it’s still a very versatile tool. Also I still think the iPad’s interactions and design are the model for MacBooks to come. You may not like that, but I do

M4 iPad Air (2026) Review: The Best Option for the Moment This is the best balance of future-proofing and price for now, but this may not be the final iPad release this year.

Spending the weekend with the new 11-inch iPad Air update, I think this is the best future-proofed iPad for the moment. I just wonder when the basic iPad will get its upgrade, which could tilt recommendations back to that model again www.cnet.com/tech/computi...

I think video discovery is working better than text article discovery because AI has digested and intercepted text but it hasn’t fully digested and intercepted video yet

Free idea: Grammarly should also introduce dybbuks that seem like they’re going to help you improve your writing but are really seeking vengeance
