Apple 14″ MacBook Pro (2021)
My last personal laptop was a 2008 MacBook Pro; since then I've used work machines and a hand-me-down. After 14 years, I finally bought my own again, choosing the base-model 14-inch MacBook Pro (2021).

Looking Back 2021
Looking back at 2021, another COVID-shadowed year but one packed with more gadgets than 2020. On the smart-home front I added an ILife Shinebot W450 mopping robot and a Roborock S7, replacing my ageing Roomba 980.
Apple TV 4K (2nd Generation)
Apple refreshed its set-top box at the 21st April 2021 event, keeping the Apple TV 4K name as the 2nd Generation. Given Apple TV's long product cycles, it's worth buying at launch.
Looking Back 2020
Looking back at 2020, the year I revamped this site to version 5. On the smart-home front I swapped failing MCO Z-Wave switches for Sonoff Wi-Fi ones, and built an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X gaming PC.
