Visually, the Cherry Xtrfy remains true to its…

Why I’ll never buy a $599 MacBook
December 24, 2025
Rumor is Apple is working on a $599 MacBook to compete with budget Windows laptops. That’s compelling, but I don’t plan on buying one. A $599 MacBook is both too expensive compared to PCs and not expensive enough to deliver the “premium” experience people associate…
I have a drawer full of USB cables and every time I want to connect a device, I have to try them out. USB-C was supposed to simplify things: One cable for everything, that was the promise. In practice, it’s a different story: There are cables that can only charge. There are some that transfer data. Some also transmit image information, which can then be used as a monitor cable.
And then there is…
