As a self-proclaimed non-Apple fan, I’m surprisingly tempted by the new MacBook Air’s M2 chip and battery life, despite my usual preference for Microsoft-based tools. However, I’m weighing the appeal of its professional design against the steep price of 16 GB of RAM and the logistical headaches of importing a US model to support Nordic keyboard layouts.

After a year of using the 14-inch MacBook Pro and dreaming of a larger display, I finally upgraded to the 16-inch M3 Pro model with 36 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. In this post, I share my initial thoughts on the increased screen real estate, the practicality of the heavier build, and early observations regarding battery life during intensive setup tasks.

Drawing on my decade-long history as a Chrome user, I share why I switched to the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge and found it familiar yet refreshingly new. I explain how the browser is now generally available across all major platforms and detail the benefits of using both stable and Insider channels for testing.

After using my MacBook Pro M2 Max for over 100 days as my primary travel companion, I share my firsthand experience balancing its incredible portability with the demands of remote consulting work. I discuss how the device handles diverse tasks like coding and content creation, highlight the impressive yet variable battery life influenced by apps like Firefox, and reflect on its seamless integration into my life outside the home office.

In this post, I share my honest impressions after using the Samsung Galaxy Note10+ for 150 days, offering insights for those considering a switch from iOS or to a Note-style device. While I find the phone to be nearly the best I’ve ever owned due to its speed and display, I also discuss its minor imperfections regarding one-handed use and typing comfort in landscape mode.
