I finally got my wish thanks to Motorbunny.

It’s got two of the most powerful mobile components on the block with an AMD Strix Point CPU and an Nvidia Blackwell 5000 series GPU. Together, it makes the Blade 16 an outright AI-centric juggernaut whether you’re gaming, creating content, or working. The OLED panel is stunning to look at as is the laptop’s bright, comfortable keyboard and it’s got a solid suite of ports.

Interview

What was your first job as a journalist?

I was an editorial assistant at BlackPlanet.com and MiGente.com, interviewing celebrities, covering protests, and writing ad copy.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

YES! I had a word processor in high school. We still had typing classes back then. How far we've come.

How is social media changing news?

It's a viable news source as you can use it for quotes from high-profile subjects or mine it for rumors and various leaks.
