Posting here in the afternoon as I need some help. Yeah, I know, I’m supposed to be helping you out, but hopefully you won’t mind me asking a question for a change.
I need to purchase a laptop for my blogging and Empty Cabin Media work. For a few years, I’ve been eying up an Apple [...]
Okay, I am going to lay it all out and see what you think.
