WWDC

8 June 2022 By Bel

Lots of good stuff announced at WWDC earlier this week.

My eyes are on the new M2 MacBook Air. I’m also looking forward to the release of iOS 16 and iPadOS 16.

Not sure about Apple’s thinking behind the updated 13” MacBook Pro. Given that it’s so close in size and pricing to the new MacBook Air, it would make sense for most buyers to pick the latter.

Thing is, for the vast majority of people out there, the MacBook Air is more than enough. And, for those who need something more powerful from the MacBook line-up, there are the 14” and 16” MacBook Pro models from last year. Those contain way more firepower than the 13” MacBook Pro.

So I’m not sure where the 13” MacBook Pro fits these days. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s phased out in the coming years.

On watches – the Casio World Timer

9 August 2018 By Bel Leave a Comment

I’m awaiting the arrival of my Casio World Timer.

As a collector of fine mechanical watches, it might seem odd that such a watch should find its way into my collection.
