The Paradox of Choice
A couple of recent purchases got me thinking about how choice factors into where and how I spend my money.
As my Honda Odyssey neared 200,000 miles, I began researching potential replacements. Unlike sedans and trucks, there are only a handful of minivans sold in the US.

Product Announcement – New Traverse Mobile Workstation
Over the years I have worked here, our laptop line has changed a lot.

Product Review: Samsung 950 Pro 512GB M.2 Drive
The Samsung 950 Pro is the successor to the Samsung SM951 and their first retail M.2 drive.

How We Sell Computers at Puget Systems
One of the things I love about my job is being able to talk to clients and finding out something interesting about them and their computer needs.
