I lucked into a super deal on this laptop (in-store only) about three months before RAM prices started getting crazy, and my wife was awesome enough to pick it up for me at Micro Center while she was in the city. 🙌 So far it’s been an absolute beast: coding, compiling, LLMs, image generation, and basically anything else I’ve thrown at it without breaking a sweat. It lives on my desk most of the time, but it’s pretty great being
I’ve been getting some comments lately about the current state of AMD’s mobile processors. It’s a bit of a jungle out there with the naming schemes (looking at you, AMD marketing department 😉), so I wanted to put together a guide as I regularly use these CPUs/APUs in my daily work.

My wife is preparing for a REALLY long hike up some steep terrain and I wanted to do some sock research, here is what I found so far: Best Socks for High Arches, Plantar Fasciitis, and a Herniated Disc When choosing socks, the goal is support, comfort, moisture-wicking, and cushioning—all while avoiding seams or pressure points that could cause discomfort. Given your wife’s high arches, plantar fasciitis, and lower back concerns, she’ll benefit from socks that provide: ✅ Arch compression
