    Great advices! I bought a MacBook Air M4 on the day after global sweeping tariffs was announced. Was planning on getting it anyway, and I did my taxes on it. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase since it’s more of a need and I am done overpaying my inefficient CPAs.

    your experts review tech, rather not economics, geopolitics, international trade. I do like CNET but most any tech or consumer blog isnt expert enough to opine fully and comprehensively . CNET commentators are smart enough to couch things like “price them aggressively… possibly taking a loss to get people in…” etc etc which may be true, but a real ‘expert’ would know the actual margins Meta does or does not make on the product and where the components are sourced, for certain. Maybe say ‘consumer experts”
