This is not a review, nor a buying guide.

It’s a collection of personal conclusions I’ve reached after falling into more than enough rabbit holes, as a programmer who spends a large portion of each day behind a keyboard and mouse.

These conclusions may not fit everyone. But if you, like me:

• Use a computer for long hours every day
• Switch frequently between macOS and Windows
• Don’t want to waste time on pointless tinkering

Then this article might help you spend less money and avoid unnecessary detours.
