"New every two" for computers isn't really a thing. Five year upgrade cycles are the sweet spot. https://t.co/iaf98n65ta

Wi-Fi 7 Is Now Official, Promising More Speed, Lower Latency https://t.co/mZqkl5Ls78 #PCMag

Forget the M3 MacBook Pro, I want this sleek Space Gray DNA sequencer that I saw at the #AppleEvent

[Tom Brant @branttom]

Aaand, that's a wrap for the #AppleEvent! Tho I would have enjoyed it more if it were in Philadelphia and Tim ran up the flight of stairs at the end

[Tom Brant @branttom]

[Tom Brant @branttom]

Pay no attention to the doctor typing creepily in the corner at the #AppleEvent!

[Tom Brant @branttom]

Performance improvement is good, but Apple frequently touts these performance per watt improvements, which is perhaps more relevant for a MacBook #AppleEvent
