Mac Mini Apple Silicon M1 Impressions

How do I even begin to describe the new Apple Silicon M1 powered Mac Mini except with one very simple word: “Wow!” 

After reading and watching every review I could find on the internet (or at least from countries where Apple deigned to launch it first), I was practically vibrating with excitement to get my hands on one.

iPad Air Review

iPad Air

After a few days of using the new iPad Air with the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil 2, I am glad to say that it is much closer to a laptop. It has neat features and design that makes it so much more closer to a laptop replacement. But that is not the full story. Find our more in this long-ish iPad Air review.

My day in London

I’m back in my Paddington hotel now, fresh from a work meeting that has left me with the rarest of corporate travel luxuries: unscheduled time.

There’s something wonderfully liberating about being alone in a foreign country.

Something’s amiss with Apple

I’ve owned and used various Apple products over the years. Right now, I’m typing this blog post on an iPad Pro, tethered to my iPhone 6S Plus, while glancing at my Apple Watch to make sure I don’t miss my next appointment. When I get home, I’ll probably watch Netflix on my TV via an Apple TV, then check emails on my iMac before bed.

Happy 40th Birthday Apple!

Apple marked its 40 years of existence with a, well, nothing. For most companies, a milestone is a cause for celebration, or atleast, an opportunity to sell more items through an anniversary themed promotion. But not Apple. It chooses to celebrate this occasion by doing nothing.
