All hail SSDs! Clock speeds and CPU performance have skyrocketed over the years, but we are quickly reaching a point where the latest and greatest processor doesn’t do a lot for performance on a day-to-day basis. Yet until the last couple years, most of us were shackled with the clunky old spinning hard drives.Until last 12-18 months, SSDs were in the $2 per GB of storage range, putting them out of reach for many consumers. most users need a minimum of a ~100GB of storage or so and paying $200+ for that didn’t present a good value. Now that prices…

Not an Apple wireless keyboard, mind. that would be silly. that would be like buying a bicycle pump bigger than my bike.

After two minutes of use, the S key fell off. well, not so much fell off the keyboard…
