The saying “time flies” has always troubled me… time feels like one of those constants we should be able to rely on yet, as it indeed goes by, I will at least agree our perception of it, at minimum… evolves.

Take “the long days of summer” for instance… I can remember as a school-aged kid thinking summers would never end, I’d get to play with my friends from sun-up-to-sun-down forever, and fifth grade was a distant future that, as far as I was concerned, would never arrive. 

Now today, many, many… many… summers later… another one is almost over? 

Yep, as impossible as it is to believe, “Back to school” is in the air as parents begin gathering supplies, teachers begin dressing up rooms, and retailers across the land are… well… putting up “Sale” signs. 

Whether you’re needing to pick up a bluetooth mouse for your Middle Schooler’s Chromebook because it turns out Sunny D and trackpads don’t mix, or you’re on your twelfth laptop review (that all somehow say the same yet polar opposite things) scouring the internet for the gear of the Class of 2029 (yikes) this is not-so-sneakily one of the prime times of year to upgrade and expand your tech while stretching every dollar nearly to its limit. 

Is every laptop the cheapest it will ever be? Nope. 

Is this deal, that conveniently “ends” in 59 minutes, ever going to come around again? Without a doubt. 

Does the MacBook Air still reign supreme as the “laptop for everyone”, students, professionals, and grandparents alike? 

Guess you’ll just have to listen and find out…
