Other obsessions include magic, immersive theater, puzzles, board games, cooking, improv and the New York Jets. My background includes an MFA in theater which I apply to thinking about immersive experiences of the future.

The M1 MacBook Air was one of CNET's favorite laptops of last year, with fantastic performance and battery life. It's still a solid choice a year later. Its battery life and system speed are far better than previous Intel-based MacBooks, and its USB-C ports and improved keyboard are functional and effective.
