My copy of Tomodachi Life isn't arriving until Saturday! Loving seeing everyone else's adventures! Can't wait!

Watching this was the highlight of my day. Brendo and Wally is the friendship I didn’t know I needed. Please stream more of this game once it is out.

The iPad Got Complicated - Jason Journals When iPadOS 26 was revealed at WWDC25 last year, it was kind of a shocker. Free windowing and multitasking! A menu bar! Mac-like stop lights! 🚥 It was a lot. Tech influencers declared iPad Utopia was upon us. My expectations were high, but reality has been different — not utopia. In fact, it’s a bit of a letdown. On one hand, the iPad is still a great device. On the other hand, iPadOS 26, despite welcome improvements, didn’t really “change the game,” at least not for me. The once simple tablet is now more complicated when it’s acting like a...

My good friend Jason just posted a great piece about how Apple's new windowing system in iPadOS 26 may have been a misstep. As a longtime lover and user of the iPad, I couldn't agree more! Apple went too far trying to placate the "I want the iPad to be a Mac" crowd. jasonjournals.com/posts/the-i...

Thoughts on “The iPad in a post MacBook Neo World” - Quibbletown by Keren Brandon McMullen, on where the MacBook Neo leaves the iPad: “Will a MacBook Neo be better for an artist who draws for a living? How about a small child? What about people on construction sites? How about for your tech illiterate grandma? Is a MacBook better for an airline pilot?” I think the iPad is an amazing thing when its allowed to breathe its own air, and the MacBook Neo might just let it have that chance.

Great article by @kerenrbell.bsky.social about how the MacBook Neo may help the iPad just be the iPad once again. The iPad is such a magical device, the frustration comes when you try to force it to be something it's not. #ipad

Thanks for the kind words Karen, I loved your post on the iPad. And yes, let’s bring back the multi device lifestyle, where each device can be used and enjoyed for what it’s great at!

Really good piece by Brandon, that unlike some posts on the topic, actually remembered what the iPad is good at.

Here's my thoughts on why the iPad very, very much has a place in Apple's lineup, *especially* now that its no longer the cheapest computer Apple sells.

A Really Good Switch 2 Update - What's A Computer? Nintendo released a really nice update to the Switch 2 last night and I have some thoughts.

Just posted on What's A Computer: A big Switch 2 update was released last night. #Nintendo #NintendoSwitch 2 whatsacomputer.com/posts/a-re...

Boost Mode for Switch 1 games was the biggest fix I've wanted on Switch 2 since June. Tropical Freeze looks great in handheld now!!

It sure did! I wasn’t even planning on buying it until I saw the last trailer they released and the very high review scores. Definitely worth picking up if you end up getting a Switch 2.

Pokopia - What's A Computer? I’ve been playing Pokopia for the past few days and wanted to give a few of my thoughts on the game.

Hands On With The MacBook Neo - What's A Computer? I was able to visit my local Best Buy today and get my hands on the new MacBook Neo.

Congrats! We welcomed twin boys last August.

The Apple Studio Display - What's A Computer? This week Apple announced two new displays. The updated Studio Display and the all new Studio Display XDR. So there’s never been a better time to talk about my now old Apple Studio Display. 

With Apple announcing two new displays this week, I thought I would write about my now old Studio Display. whatsacomputer.com/posts/the-...

Changes to the Site - What's A Computer? You may have noticed some recent changes to my site. I made some long overdue changes and additions that hopefully make the site just a bit nicer to poke around on.

Spent some time making some much needed changes to my site. New homepage, new guestbook, and more sensible tags, check it out! whatsacomputer.com/posts/chan...

Secondhand Apples - What's A Computer? I was recently chatting with a friend about various Apple devices and their pricing. We are both somewhat frugal with our tech purchases, him more so than me, and we both love to get a great deal. Apple stuff isn’t cheap and yet, if you’re willing to be patient and/or hunt, it can be.

Wrote a bit about how I acquire most of my Apple gear much cheaper than buying new. It's a lot of work, patience, and definitely some luck, but there are deals to be found out there. whatsacomputer.com/posts/seco...

Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC The video-game publisher no longer plans to put out PC ports of PlayStation games such as ‘Ghost of Yotei’

NEW: Sony no longer plans to release PlayStation games on PC, sources tell Bloomberg News, a major shift in strategy that sees the console maker returning to exclusivity after six years of flirting with multiplatform.

Ghost of Yotei and Saros are not coming to PC. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I’d be down for a handle.

If it’s not too late to suggest one small change, Apple should seriously consider adding a handle to the low-cost MacBook...

Really enjoying Pokémon LeafGreen right now. I missed these remakes when they came out back in 2004. I will always have a soft spot for Game Boy Advance graphics. #Pokémon

Finished the story mode in #MarioTennisFever. Also completed all of the cups and the three challenge towers. I think this is my favorite Mario Tennis game since Mario Power Tennis on the GameCube.
