The Motorola Razr 2025 is a flip style Android powered smartphone. It has an Octa Core CPU, 8GB of memory, and a 256GB storage. As with all flip phones, the phone is about half the size of a normal phone when closed, and full size (6.9″) when open. This allows me to carry both the Motorola Razr 2025, and the iPhone at the same time – albeit in different pockets. The phone is using Assurance Wireless for the carrier. Assurance Wireless is a lifeline provider which provides free service for low income households, and therefore – I qualify. The Motorola Razr 2025 supports 1 nano-SIM, and 1 eSIM which means I can have 2 carriers, and 2 telephone numbers on this one phone. And as with my personal policy, I will never buy a locked phone from the carrier. Read more “Motorola Razr 2025 – First Impressions”

First Impressions – Framework 16
This blog posting is my initial review of the Framework 16 notebook computer. I chosen the one with the 7840HS CPU from AMD, with the standard keyboard in addition to the number pad. For modules, I chosen 4 USB-C ports, a 1TB storage module, and an SD card module. I will go into modules a little later in this posting. In addition to the PC, I had to buy memory which I bought 2 × 32GB (64GB) of memory, a 2TB, and 4TB NVME storage drives. The 4TB drive didn’t fit because it was too high (a heatsink). All together, I paid a little more than $3,000 for all purchases. Read more “First Impressions – Framework 16”
First Impressions – Ubuntu
This blog posting is the review of Ubuntu Desktop 24.04. This is the first time I ever made a Linux distribution as my primary OS. There are some things I like about it, and some things I don’t like about it. So far, the OS does almost everything I would need without too much of a fuss. However, that doesn’t make it smooth sailing. As with most Linux OSes, Ubuntu is free, and the download .iso file was 6GB in size. This meant it needed to be installed on a drive that was 8GB or larger to install the OS. Read more “First Impressions – Ubuntu”
