I have an eight-year-old laptop that needs replacing and I’m paralyzed. What are the most reliable ones now? Do I need a desktop for CAD? Pros and cons of operating systems (and where do I find them?) Browsers ditto? Where do I find answers that aren’t just product marketing?

    I’ve had my MX Master for about 4 years now, best mouse I’ve owned. Tracks on almost every surface, easy enough to open and replace the internal battery, and feels great in the hand. The dual friction scroll wheel is amazing for scrolling through large webpages, folders, and lines of code.

    Really wish it was at least a bit open source though. It’s capable of so much with the extra built in buttons and additional scroll wheel, but outside of Windows and Mac they are not very programmable

      There is https://github.com/libratbag/piper for Linux which seems to support the my master. It is definitely more limited than Logitech gaming software, but allows me to configure my g600 just fine.
