At two hundred bucks a month, ChatGPT Pro isn’t pocket change. It’s marketed as the ultimate upgrade—more power, fewer limits, and the prestigious “Pro” label. But underneath all that shine,…

If you’ve spent the past week binge-watching chip tear-downs and poring over spec sheets, maybe you’ve already got a sneaking suspicion that the MacBook Pro M4 Max isn’t as perfect as all those slick launch videos would have you believe. You know the kind—glossy B-roll, panning shots of a pristine chassis, and that upbeat background track that makes everything feel futuristic. Well, let’s peel back the curtain, even if it’s a bit wrinkled, and talk frankly about what this machine does poorly. It’s not a bad laptop,…

I’ve spent a lot of time wading through the nonstop flood of praise surrounding Apple’s M4 Mac Mini.

But let’s be honest—behind all the marketing and fanfare, there are some details that might make you flinch if you’re not prepared. I’m here to shine a bright spotlight on those unpolished corners that tend…
