My 2020 edition of a very long running series of posts on notebooks I’ve owned and used. The previous editions were in 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2018. Things move so quickly in the technological world that there’s a high chance
Continuing from my last post about the new Acer Swift 3, here’s my fourth and 2018 edition of a long running series on notebooks: with the previous editions in 2008, 2012 and 2016. Things move so quickly in the technological
The Dell XPS 13 that I bought 3.5 years ago experienced a critical component failure 6 months ago in January this year – right at about the three year mark. Specifically, its battery could no longer be detected, and the
