Not liking any of these.

What I am looking for should be really simple:
1- Wireless BT keyboard with the ability to plug in via some form of USB to use as a wired keyboard. Every once in a while you need to be able to plug in a keyboard- not having that capability is just cheaping out.
2- User replaceable battery- I have Eneloops (Panasonic/ Sanyo previously) like Apple used to sell under their own name that I can easily recharge and replace when they get old.
3- Backlighting with a proximity sensor.

Funny how a $30 keyboard gets a cheap BT module and a battery and jumps to $100. I do not mind paying, but the prices of keyboards is kind of ridiculous. Especially considering that these are made in low wage factories.

As the owner of a fully upgraded Intel Mac mini and an M1 Mac mini I would love to see the benchmarks on how these eGPU models compare to the Apple Silicon.

Glad I’m not using Outlook, because that would be the end of it. 

Web apps, with very few exceptions, should die a quick, miserable death. The ultimate in lowest common denominator crap; perfectly suited for spying on users.

Not a fan of web based apps for many reasons but that is the direction things have been moving for a long time. The only way I see that trend reversing would be a profound security issue

As to spying on users, your employer is likely spying on anything you do on their network or hardware. The SW at my hospital monitors everything- to include when you pause the cursor over a link and see a preview.

Would love to see Apple buy up the rights to a lot of games from the classic era of computer gaming and bring them up to date (graphics and sound) and not cheese them up with in-app purchases and other such nonsense.

Scrabble (by EA) was excellent, but then Hasbro decided to “reimagine” it with a different developer and turned it into a cheesy mess.
Greed is not always good.
