About

Relatable tech reviews and advice for normal people. I have zero interest in deep spec dives or long-winded comparisons. I review laptops, smartphones, tablets, headphones and the latest tech based on real experience. I'll tell you how it'll make you feel, whether or not it's worth your time (and money) and help you find the tech you need to get stuff done. WHO AM I? I'm a UK-based freelance marketer, podcaster and blogger. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Some of the links in my video descriptions will direct you to the Amazon website.

Video Description

➡️ Buy your H1 Pro Ergonomic chair here (discount applied): https://geni.us/pCKc How do you know which M3 Mac to buy? In this video, I reveal what Apple told me about the M3 chips during a visit to their UK headquarters earlier this month. I wanted to find out who should buy the M3 iMac, and who the various versions of the M3 MacBook Pro are intended for. The answers are super interesting and will, I think, help you during your buying journey!
