Back home. Came back a day early. I’ve been to at least 14 MWCs. This one has to be the chillest I’ve attended. Optimism was tempered. My biggest question is where will the CAPEX come from to build out...
The MacBook Neo is the Apple netbook I always wanted. At $599, is it perfect? No. No backlit keyboard, an older-style mechanical trackpad and it tops out at 8GB of RAM. But the build quality feels like an Apple $1K...

The laziest phone upgrade of all-time is still the best value out there, with the software doing most of the heavy lifting. Also, there's one unexpected mode I found in testing out the Pixel 10a. #Pixel10a @madebygoogle https://t.co/qwdWNb7Tmt
