As hard as it was to leave 85-and-sunny weather, the team and I are back in Redmond from a really fun PC Showcase in Miami. The Spa at the Viceroy was beautiful, the crowd was interesting (and interested), and the PCs looked and performed great. Below are some of my favorite photos from the event – some taken by me, and some taken by our outstanding professional photographer, Gustavo Caballero.
I also shot a video of the event that includes a run through of the venue setup and a look at some of my favorite PCs. It should be ready in a few days, so keep an eye out for it!

Slate PCs aren’t just awesome computers – they’re also excellent serving trays.
Me with the gear. NOTE: Yes, I do love the Dell Vostro v130 enough to hug it.

Our next PC Showcase is in Chicago in late April. If you’re in the area and want to join us, email me! I have a limited number of passes to give away, so first come, first served.
