Hey gang! I'm working on a little idea to open source a suite of benchmarks and tests so we can leverage the power of this community to get a whole bunch of data for future laptop reviews!

So my question for you at this time would be: what benchmarks or workflows would you like to see tested?

I of course have a core suite of tests that I run so we can get comparisons, but my goal would be to host a bunch of demo files and setting parameters, then offer a google form for you guys to submit results on your own machines so we can test pretty much every spec out there! As such, the tests would need to be fairly easy to replicate and should be doable by people who might not have a ton of experience in a particular app- you know, benchmark style!

Let me know what you'd like to see tested and I'll be back with some updates soon :)

Hey all, I want to try to get an idea of where my audience stands on the matter of AI as 2025 comes to a close. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments, but let's start with a quick poll to gauge how you all feel about the utility of AI in 2025. Is it worth it? Is it here to stay?

STOKED to announce that after just a few days we're already more than 20% funded on starting the first production round for the M4 Cubed! Thanks to you guys for all your feedback and support! 

Our top priority in launching this product is in getting costs down, as you might imagine it's not cheap to start a small production run of something like this from scratch, and the biggest obstacles right now are tooling/mold costs and shipping/tariffs. At over $8,000 just to get the production set up, that's by far our biggest startup cost. To be fully transparent with you guys, we are probably going to profit only about $10-15 per unit at the current cost, so that's why the price has to be set where it is initially. The more we're able to produce and sell, using the molds more and more, the more we can lower the price

Thanks again to everyone who supported the kickstarter already, more updates to come

Im working on a piece this month about the ongoing issues with iOS in the last few years; it’s seemingly becoming more and more buggy, unstable, and unpolished. As I’m working on this segment I want to collect as many screenshots/recordings of these bugs as I can! So this month, keep an eye out for any bugs and glitches and quirks, and if you catch a recording or screenshot email it to me at lukemianibusiness@gmail.com!
