Agreed. My computing philosophy: If you aren't looking at the display, you're computing wrong.
replyI have a black case (some 10+ year old Fractal Design model) and an all black keyboard with no labels. Back in the pandemic, I was fortunate enough to score a videocard that happens to be light up RGB unicorn poop. I hate that part about it, so that helps remind me to keep the side panel of the case on. (I could, but I'd rather not disassemble it to unplug the LEDs.)
Actual CPU progress stopped so it's become a color and light show.
replyMaybe progress in terms of pure GHz measures or similar, but new and better CPUs are still being released, even outside of Apple. The CPU I'm on right now (AMD) was released in Q3 2025, and almost every CPU released today offers better value for the money than the previous generations.
