The author discusses their experience with various PC hardware, particularly focusing on the advantages of mini PCs like the Beelink SER9 and Geekom A8|A7 models compared to laptops and desktops. They highlight the Lenovo Slim 7i 14 (Gen 9) laptop for its features but note its inconvenience due to the inactive power button when closed. The author finds that a mini Windows PC, such as the Geekom A8 Max with an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor and 32GB of RAM, effectively addresses their needs for a compact and powerful setup.

Google seems to have called it quits on making its own Android tablets—again

Google has paused the development of its Pixel Tablet line due to concerns about profitability. Reports indicate that plans for a new flagship Pixel-branded tablet have been shelved, with uncertainty surrounding whether it was the second or third iteration that faced cancellation.

Google will continue to support Android tablets from other manufacturers and has introduced Pixel Fold devices, which may influence its mobile strategy.
