I have a giant, Polish head. My neck has been holding it up for decades. Thus, I don’t find wearing Vision Pro particularly heavy. If you suffer from geek neck, where your head is already hanging forward over thin air instead of above your shoulders where it should be, I would imagine you might find strapping aluminum and glass to the front of your face unhelpful. Is Vision Pro heavier than I wish it were? Of course. Is that a deal breaker? Not at all. Personally, I feel the…

Yesterday I ordered a new Apple Silicon Mac. The 13-inch Pro, to be precise. With all the trimmings. I did this, even though: This is clearly a Mac meant to be a replacement for the entry-level 2-port model of the 13-inch Pro. Not the high-end 4-port model I am using to type this.A higher-end version (perhaps with the rumored smaller-bezel 14-inch screen) could be coming as soon as next spring.16 GB of RAM max.Aren’t we supposed to avoid first-gen hardware?Here’s why: This 13-inch Pro…

My combination of iPad and Canopy/Magic Keyboard served me well for much of the intervening time. But then I made the mistake of lending my Magic Keyboard to Jessica in the middle of last year, and I never got it back. So rather than picking up a new Magic Keyboard, I took the opportunity to pick up a Smart Folio keyboard, even though…

I managed to get my fingers on one of the new MacBook Pro 16-inch laptops at an Apple Store yesterday. As someone who actually likes the butterfly keyboard that preceded it, I thought I’d share my perspective. I know I’m not alone in worrying this new keyboard would be a step backward for me, despite being absolutely the right move for the company. Obviously this is a very short first impression, obtained at those ridiculous Apple Store tables that seem to be the worst possible height for typing…
