About

I’m an East-coast based educator, clinician, and student who likes reviewing tech, specifically alternatives to Windows and MacOS. I tend to be pretty platform agnostic (you should use the tool that works best for you–I have used and liked everything from Macbooks to the Microsoft Surface series), but I’ve always been someone who’s been curious about “third options.” My goal is to promote choice and play with tech without having to work in tech.

Current Work Set-Up: Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook for work and some personal use.

Personal Set-Up: Thinkpad A485 (AMD Ryzen/256 SSD/16 GB RAM) for everything else, mostly light Steam gaming on Fedora Linux.

Retired hardware: Macbook Air 2013 (just retired after 10 years of use!) and Microsoft Surface Go 2 M3.

Required FTC Disclosure Stuff: Many of my product reviews contain Amazon affiliate links, which means I earn a small commission for any purchase done through that link at no cost to you, which helps support the blog, keep the server lights on, and yadda yadda (that hosting price tho…). All products are purchased with my own cash unless otherwise stated.

If you find any content useful, feel free to support the blog and buy me a coffee (no pressure though, this blog is more of a passion project for me).
