Giving away my Mac Minis (and why) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Right, this one’s a bit different. No gear roundup, no “should you buy it”… just something I’ve been sitting on for a while (since 2022!) and finally want to say out loud.Every review channel has the same problem: kit piles up.

(ok maybe not that far 😂)🍏 Right, they got meThis latest round of announcements actually landed. iPadOS 27 in particular, wow!
