The benchmarks for the M3 have the single core and multicore performances way past similar Intel and AMD chips. Qualcomm's mobile chips are still no where near Apple's mobile chips. I do not believe for a second that Qualcomm will catch up to the M2 on their first release.

I prefer Tomoe River over Rhodia.

It certainly can. I now order inks and paper from various countries, but I have yet to move into wax stamps.

Fountainpens. Started with some cheap Chinese pens. Now I have multiple vintage pens and a Montblanc that I love writing with.

So glad to be back on Sync!

It writes amazingly well! The gold is relatively soft, so while it is not a flex nib writing has some character and feels great! Highly recommended, and they're not anywhere near as expensive as the PFMs.

It is Montblanc Irish Green. It's a very pretty green ink. I like it.

Yes, it's an inlaid nib so it does not come off. It's not difficult to clean at the moment, but the feed and everything can be dismantled with a lot of effort. I hope I never have to do it.

Ah! That's an older cartridge! I believe that puts it into the 1960s

For the longest time now, it's been KWZ IG Turquoise. It was their Aztec Gold, but that's out of production.

It's wonderfully excessive. It gives you a bit of line variation without going all out on finding a flex nib. Highly recommended.

Leaking usually doesn't happen, but that is very dependent on the pen. I have had some pens that leak and I quickly got rid of them. I still get ink on my hands from inking and cleaning my pens, but I feel that's part of the fun.
