I think intel is in serious trouble. The market is shifting away from x86 for mainstream computers and intel just can’t compete with ARM devices on power. These snapdragon based windows laptops coming out are performing really well for most use cases and it’s going to relegate x86 to just gamers and high end workstation use.

If you want something that lets you physically remove a WiFi card check out the frameworks laptop. Other than them there is no such thing as a “WiFi card” in laptops, it’s all fully integrated now and I’d be surprised to see a new laptop from factory without some version of WiFi built in.
Agreed. Fire tablets are garbage. Super slow, outdated tech designed to shovel ads at your kids.
The uncomfortable truth is the best tablet for kids is a new iPad Air. It’ll be up to date for its lifespan of years and the parental controls, ecosystem and screentime functionality make it great for kids.
You can hate Apple but as a parent the iPad is great for kids.
It’s coming soon. Artemis is in public beta.
I’ve been pretty happy with kbin.social.
I’ve had a Timbuktu backpack since 2006, still going strong. Took it to a dry cleaner once when it got dirty. Only sign of wear is the rubber on the bottom is splitting in a couple spots but that’s just there for waterproofing, the fabric underneath is fine.
Mine has a dedicated laptop pocket, it’s great.
These new snapdragon based windows laptops have to be a serious wake up call for intel. General personal computing is quickly moving away from x86 and the latest “efficiency” core processors from intel can’t compete.
