  • Two. My experience with mechanical pencils is that they’re often unreliable and a waste of time. I hate having to reload my pencil, I hate when it breaks if you accidentally make the tip longer than it should be, I hate when you accidentally put one more in the pencil and it gets clogged, I hate having to carry refills all the time, I hate buying an expensive pencil and worrying about losing it (as opposed to just buying a dozen regular pencils for backup)…

    Just hand over the regular pencil and a decent sharpener.






  • Other people answered how it’s measured, but if you’re just shopping for a CPU I’d recommend skipping straight to benchmarks. There’s a lot of technical stuff involved but if you look at Geekbench/Passmark scores you can easily compare which ones are more powerful.

    If you’re shopping for a laptop with a specific CPU I’d also look into how much power it uses (in Watts).
