Well informed, full of good sense. Couple of points that stuck:

an aftermarket Samsung 256 GB SSD

I've seen a couple of sneers at those SSDs (which Apple also seems to use) as not the best performers. He may know better or just think they're good enough. (I can wait for the dust to settle.)

The only Apple product I use is their tiny USB power adapter

The one with the KindleDX looks even smaller - barely larger than a plug, my additional US-to-Euro plug adapter is about the same size. The small print says it's made by Flextronics.

P.S. I was straining my eyes to figure if the scope in the photo was a Tektronix. The text says it is.




He had a Crucial SSD which died on him, then ended up getting the Samsung part for its size, part for Samsung's vertical integration.

Same thing here. Got another Crucial for free and it's been going strong for about 4 months.
