    Of Laptops New and Old

    I can honestly say that I did not have “Buy a Gaming Laptop” on my 2025 bingo yet here we are. Meet my new Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 (how do people come up with such extravagant names?)

    Thought I’d try closing out the year somewhat differently this time. Rather than leaving it to the final few calendar days I started my personal review of 2023 on 1st December and will continue to develop it over the month.

I hope you enjoy the ride.
