If RoboCop were a Laptop! Panasonic ToughBook 55 Mark 2 – Updated for 2021!

TOUGHBOOK 55 review!

This Mark 2 gets a refresh and some more powerful internals. I LOVE playing with rugged gear, but the critical part of a Panasonic is support. These laptops and tablets last forever, and finding parts to repair them is surprisingly easy.

Hopefully we see more companies bring some of these ideas to more mainstream computers… Continue reading “If RoboCop were a Laptop! Panasonic ToughBook 55 Mark 2 – Updated for 2021!”

120Hz iPhone ProMotion AND Better Battery! Praising Apple for the bare minimum…

Here’s the deal. I WANT people to like the gadgets they buy. I think it’s the saddest feeling in the world to put time and money towards a gadget which later turns out to be a poor fit for your needs. That’s why I think it’s so critical that reviewers get the details right, and why we need more nuance in tech conversations.

That said, we still need to balance our commentary and reviewing against the largest corporations, with the biggest marketing budgets, making the boldest claims.

My criticisms of a TRILLION dollar corporation have little to do with the people who enjoy that company’s products. If I criticize Apple, I’m criticizing APPLE. My frustrations with Apple run high because Apple business moves effect Apple consumers.

YOU are not Apple (unless somehow Tim Cook found his way to reading this, then Hello Mr. Cook!)

Now, that said, it is nice Apple finally figured out that we want larger batteries in our phones. Continue reading “120Hz iPhone ProMotion AND Better Battery! Praising Apple for the bare minimum…”

Facebook is pausing their Instagram kids app. Democrats are pressing President Biden to make Jessica Rosenworcel the permanent head of the FCC. Apple’s privacy features on the iPhone might just be placebos.

And we can dig into the Duo 2 a little more, even if my pre-order is going to be late…

Let’s get our tech week started right!

CoolerMaster cleaning up my desk! SK653 Wireless Gaming Keyboard and MM831 Wireless Gaming Mouse

It’s TWO reviews in one!

I liked my last keyboard and mouse, but working on a smaller desk now, I need to clean up some space. Even TWO less cables can make a hilariously noticeable difference. Spending some time with the SK653 wireless keyboard, and the MM831 mouse, we can also chat about using gaming gear which doesn’t SCREAM “gaming gear”.

I love the clacky keys! Continue reading “CoolerMaster cleaning up my desk! SK653 Wireless Gaming Keyboard and MM831 Wireless Gaming Mouse”
