Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
Continued from the last post! Most of my researching for a replacement phone in April was centered on two devices: the OnePlus 8 Pro, and the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro. Both easily ticked off all the key requirements: they featured
There’s only so much larger a phone can grow, size-wise, before it really becomes unwieldy. With current generation phones – particularly the manufacturer flagship ones – already featuring near bezel-less screens and screen to body ratios of 90% and higher,
Continued from the last post. Nearly a month of use into the Aero 15-X9, and I’ve got enough substantiated impressions to write about now. Generally, the Aero 15 has performed well and right up to my expectations of it. Still,

The refurbished Dell XPS 13 9380 arrived on FRI after placing an order for it on TUES just three days earlier. That’s a quick turnover for the sales transaction to complete, especially considering that my last two Dell computers both
I’ve become a big fan of late of premium refurbished gadgets. These aren’t quite the same as typical pre-loved or used equipment where basically anything goes: you can get stuff that are basically mint and barely used, stuff that’s in
Another year in review. Can’t believe I’ve been writing these since 2008 – my end of year summary of the tech toys, gadgets and major expenses we’ve had in the year! This will be a pretty long list, in part
