PCs & Hardware
Fine hardware. Skip it if you want something quieter.
Six months of commuting and calls. What still holds, and what the next buyer should skip.
Power delivery, HDMI versions, and the cheap hubs that fry a port.
Lamp, stand, and cable plan that still works when the novelty is gone.
USB-C video, a stand that does not wobble, and a panel you can actually calibrate.
Amazon’s store versus files you sideload. Warm light, waterproofing, and where your library already lives.
Auto-adjust light, wireless charging, and whether the Signature tax is for you.
Keyboards, weight, and a battery that lasts a library day — not a GPU trailer.
Silence and battery versus ports you can replace. Pick the constraint you cannot negotiate.
Repairable, upgradable, and still a laptop you have to live with — ports, heat, and the expansion card habit.
Two flagship buds. Pick by phone, tips, and whether you live in Find My.
