Google Pixel Fold Three Months Later: A Long Term Review, Android 14, and a Road Trip

I’ve been pretty vocal on folding tablets. I’m conflicted on the segment, and I believe that (even with a few years in the market) we’re still looking at a public BETA test for this concept.

I was (and still am) a big fan of the Surface Duo, but folks seem to forget that I gave a “niche of a niche” verdict for the Duo 2. I prefer Dual Display, but there was a SMALL segment of consumers who I believed would be a good fit for that device.

There’s a specific philosophy that needs to be addressed comparing something like a Pixel Fold with a Duo. They both have a hinge that folds the device in half, but they represent VERY different solutions.

The Pixel Fold is a traditional tablet, offering a larger unbroken canvas to work with. The Duo is a multi-tasking monster, delivering a more direct path to using two apps at once.

Getting my bias out of the way, after three months, two flights, and a road trip, how has the Fold treated me?

Pretty well. There’s a lot of potential here. Continue reading “Google Pixel Fold Three Months Later: A Long Term Review, Android 14, and a Road Trip”

AceMagic AD15 Mini PC: It MIGHT be a Good Deal?

AceMagic AD15 mini PC review!

It’s a small PC, but it’s not THAT small. It’s running an older 11th Gen Intel Core i7. It’s packed in one of my least favorite mini cases.

And yet… This might be a FANTASTIC home PC… IF you can shop it right…
