As someone with unlimited mobile data, I initially questioned the necessity of Always Connected PCs, but my recent visit to Microsoft Build 2018 shifted my focus toward their impressive 22-hour battery life and lightweight design. I discuss the limited current market options, specifically the HP Envy x2 and Asus NovaGo, and share my concerns regarding their hardware specifications and availability.

In this post, I share my personal experience and practical strategies for completing the Finnish Certified Board Member accreditation, offering insights that may help others navigate similar remote certification programs. I detail how I balanced the coursework with daily chores using a tablet, discuss the structure of the group work and pre-exam, and provide a candid look at the challenges of the final timed exam.

I share my decade-long journey from founding a company with my brother to leading a team of over 100 employees, exploring the shift from naive enthusiasm to the sobering responsibilities of true business ownership. This post reflects on the Finnish mindset of understated pride and the pivotal moment when hiring staff transformed our venture from a side project into a serious commitment to providing livelihoods.

As preorders for the new Microsoft Surface Duo open, I share my concerns regarding its reliance on the older Snapdragon 855 processor rather than current flagship hardware. I also discuss the disappointing omission of 5G and NFC, arguing that these missing features limit the device's potential despite Microsoft’s positioning of it as an enterprise tool.

I break down the key features and pricing of Microsoft's latest Surface lineup, including the Surface Book 3, Go 2, and new audio accessories, to help you understand what’s actually new. As a satisfied Surface Book 2 user who primarily works on a desktop, I share my perspective on whether these incremental upgrades, such as the added 32 GB RAM option, justify an upgrade for developers and power users.
