Back in 1984, the Mac carried the slogan " The computer for the rest of us" . The Macintosh was special because of its new mouse input feature and the idea of revolutionizing the way people interacted with computers. Some features still remained today like the Apple logo in the newest macOS versions alongside the menubar.  The evolution of the Mac carried along with the challenges the computer industry has had to face over the decades. The internet was one of the biggest influencers of Mac hardware. For instance, the biggest selling point of the iMac G3 back in 1998 was internet compatibility. It was advertised as the default gateway for accessing the internet.  The next step that Macs took began with the transition from the PowerPC (PPC) platform developed by IBM to the x86 Intel platform. This was a necessity since the efficiency and power output of the PPC wouldn't be as competitive as on the x86-architecture. Efficiency was the biggest influence for an evolutionar...

A while back I wrote about problems that could occur with modern notebooks. I mentioned the keyboard problem of many MacBooks released after 2016.  A quick recap of the issue: These laptops have a refined keyboard mechanism with new "butterfly" switches. This was allegedly a necessity since Apple wanted to make the newest iterations of their notebooks quite thinner and decided to develop a new keyboard mechanism with less travel and hight being used in the case.  The keyboards can have some problems such as double or even more keystrokes when pressing on one key. My keyboard was especially affected by this with the "E" and space key. Some users also report being unable to press the button because of it being hard.  Apple acknowledges these problems and mentions that this problem only affects a small user base. From experience, I can say that it depends on the usage of your keyboard. If you are a student who types a lot, then the risk of getting prob...

"Which laptop is well worth the money?" Asking that question may led the tech community in to some very controversial debates. And that is for a reason since it's a question that is very hard to answer. After the obligatory question of preferred operating system,  questions   about the price range and favorite brand  would  normally come up. It's sad to say that we have come to a time in which people need to ask even simpler questions. Like question about the longevity of the keyboard or mousepad. Even the security on brand new devices seem to be one of the upcoming questions for customers. I say that because of the current news that some ASUS notebooks are infected of malware and the miserable reliability of the butterfly switches on MacBooks. But let's start with the butterfly phenomenon.  Example: MacBook Air Keyboard with a third-gen butterfly keyboard MacBooks and their butterfly problems After the released...
