We'll be in Venice for 3 nights June 10-12 and about 2.5 days (depending when we arrive/leave). We'd like to see the Doge's Palace and St. Mark's Basilica, and otherwise would just like to explore the city and do one or more gondola rides. Is any kind of city pass worth it for these activities vs. reserving the Palace and Basilica directly and generally going a la carte? Thank in advance for any advice/thoughts.

I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ that I bought directly from Microsoft around 2 to 2 1/2 years ago. I use it a lot both personally and for remote work when I'm not in the office. I mostly use to access Outlook, Word, Excel etc, but occasionally stream shows. The keyboard has become a bit unreliable (I have to log out sometimes to make it work) and the screen is cracked. It still works, but I'd like to replace it.

I'm weighing buying a used/refurbished Surface Pro 7, similar to what I have now, for a few hundred on Ebay vs. buying the current Copilot Plus for a bit over $1000 from Microsoft or Costco.

Does anyone have a sense of much better/improved the current Surface Copilot models are over what I have -- if at all? Are there headaches setting up a laptop/tablet that's used/refurbished that I should take into account (I've never bought a used computer before)?

Any advice would be appreciated.

We’re looking to buy a new desktop for both remote working and personal use. At home we use it for web surfing and programs like Adobe, Word, Excel etc. We’re looking at 16 GB v 32 GB of RAM. We don’t do games or advanced graphics, but do typically have a lot of windows/programs open simultaneously. 32 GB is more expensive, but we’re told it will continue to increase.

Any thoughts on which direction we should go?

Hi. I have a Ego + 56V lawn mower that I bought around 8ish years ago. It does a good job, but my wife wishes that it would do a better job mulching small (locust type and similar) leaves especially in the fall. Also, the mower occasionally pushes down, rather than cuts, grass as well but that issue is not very frequent. I'm looking at replacing it with a more current Ego plus mower -- from either the 800 or 1000 series.

I guess my question is whether the newer Ego models are likely to do a better job with mulching smaller leaves and/or if there's another brand that I should look at (I'd rather stay with a battery mower for the convenience of charging at home, less noise etc.). Thanks in advance.
