I only use one computer, and I have been using my MacBook Air 2015 for ages now. I’ve squeezed out every last drop of juice, but it has become unbearable. It was just too slow. Why did I wait so long? Apple had this huge keyboard mess, and also to be honest I wasn’t a…

I discovered that they are actually quite comfortable to sleep with. I don’t use them often to sleep. When needed, they worked very well. Noisy neighbors, having to…
