Prime Day is coming soon. I hesitated to do this because I’m not a product hawker and I’m really not a gadget person. I know that’s weird for an IT pro. But in the end, I decided to share a few things that might go on sale. And something fun at the end.
Books
Books will not go on sale. But you may as well pick these up anyway. They are the texts that we chose to drive our Intune and Defender courses.

Microsoft Windows + Copilot devices
The age of the ARM device is finally upon us. Apple is there and now Microsoft is too. I’m frankly just curious. A 22-hour battery life, SnapDragon processor and 64-bit emulation makes these devices every bit as functional as an Intel power laptop. Plus there’s an NPU. Not sure why I need neural processing unit, but they tell me that it’ll make Copilot and other AI’s faster and better at their job. I saw one in the wild at a conference in actual use by an attendee and it was beautiful. The price is right too.

Anker
If you buy something from Anker it just works and it’s the best. There’s nothing more to be said about it. There are pretenders but don’t fall for it. I only buy Anker.
