Apple Stuff
These are the Apple items I use every day for work. Simple, reliable, and they just work together.
This one’s my baby. Picked it up five years ago, and it still holds up like a champ. It’s been a core part of my workflow ever since reliable, fast, and honestly just solid. Say what you will about Apple, but when they get it right... they really get...
MacBook Air (M1, 2020) - Technical Specifications
I know, I know... it’s 2025 probably time for an upgrade, right? But I can’t let this one go. My iPhone 12 Pro Max has been rock solid and still handles everything I throw at it. Gotta respect the longevity it just keeps delivering.
Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max - Full Specs
Yup, still rocking my iPad Pro from 2020. What can I say 2020 was a solid year for me, and this iPad’s held strong ever since. Still runs smooth, still feels fresh. I genuinely love this device.
iPad Pro
I love these. Sometimes music feels like my best friend and when I pop in these AirPods Pro 2 with noise cancellation on, it’s like I’m transported to another world... one with a killer soundtrack.
AirPods Pro 2
As an introvert, I can’t overstate how much I appreciate these. When I need to block out the world and fully lock into my zone, the AirPods Max are my go-to. Yeah, they’re a bit pricey but the way they seamlessly work with all my Apple gear makes the...
AirPods Max
When I’m jamming out to some heavy bass? These are my go-to. The Beats Studio3 bring that heart-thumping sound that keeps me moving—whether I’m working out or just vibing to a favorite hip-hop track. Seriously love these headphones.
Beats Studio3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
Chargers and stuff
Chargers and cables that keep everything powered up. Plus a few other essentials that make my setup actually work.
Picked this up over the 2024 holiday season, and it’s been an absolute beast ever since. The Anker Prime handles all my devices at once fast, efficient, and even tells the time. Easily one of my favorite purchases of the year.
Anker Prime Charger (250W, 6 Ports, GaNPrime)
Two for the price of one? Can’t beat that. These Anker 20W fast chargers are super handy when I’m out and about. And having a second one? Let’s just say it saves me from my own forgetfulness more times than I’d like to admit.
Anker iPhone 16 Charger 2-Pack 20W Fast
This thing is a lifesaver when I’m traveling. Not too heavy, not too light it’s got just the right capacity to keep my phones charged during those long, unpredictable days out in the wild. Super handy to have on deck.
VEEKTOMX 10000mAh Portable Charger w/Cables
Windows Laptop
My gaming and heavy-duty laptop when the MacBook Air isn't enough.
My gaming... well, work and gaming PC. Picked up the Alienware m15 R3 around the same time as my MacBook, and it’s held up surprisingly well. Handles both play and productivity like a champ. Yeah, it’s a little dated now but it still gets the job don...
Alienware m15 R3 15.6" FHD Gaming Laptop
Game Consoles
Game consoles that I wish I had more time for. PC gaming wins for convenience when you're trying to make a living honestly.
Okay, I’ll admit I didn’t get my PS5 until a couple years ago... and then, of course, they dropped the Pro version. But I originally picked it up for Spider-Man 2, and no regrets. Been a Sony fan since I was a kid, and this one just keeps that love g...
PlayStation®5 | Play Has No Limits
This little thing was a total lifesaver. Back when I was always on the move—driving, riding the train—the Switch Lite was my partner in crime. Still have it to this day. Just holding it takes me back.
Nintendo Switch Lite - Official Nintendo
I know what you’re probably thinking... if I have the original, why get the Lite too? Fair question. But I keep this one hooked up to the TV it pretty much never leaves the house. And honestly, I just prefer playing my Mario and Zelda adventures on t...
Nintendo Switch™ Family - Nintendo - Official Site
Samsung Stuff
Samsung gear that earned its place in my daily routine.
I love this phone! it’s an absolute beast. Still have my Galaxy Note Ultra to this day, and honestly, I’m a little sad they killed off the Note line. Feels like I’m holding a relic now... a really cool, still capable relic that continues to get the j...
Samsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra 5G Phone
I’m a big Samsung fan too, and this tablet? Super affordable and solid. Perfect for light work, casual browsing, or just lounging in bed with some Netflix. We all need those low-key days every now and then, right?
Samsung Galaxy Tab A7
Bluetooth Speakers
Bluetooth speakers for different situations - home, travel, and everything in between.
When I say this thing gets the party started—I mean it. Even if it’s just a party of one... maybe a couple close friends too. The JBL Boombox 2 delivers. I picked up two and they sync up beautifully. The sound is bold, clean, and exactly what you nee...
JBL Boombox 2 | Portable Bluetooth Speaker
These little puppies have some serious bark. When I’m not in the mood to break out the JBLs, the Bose SoundLink Flex speakers hold their own just fine. I grabbed two so I can sync them up and really set the vibe. Nice clean sound, solid punch, and su...
Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker (2nd Gen)
Back when I was biking or out for a good run, the JBL Clip 4 was always with me clipped to my backpack or hydration pack. Loud enough for me to hear, but not so loud it bothered anyone else. Just the perfect little speaker for outdoor adventures.
JBL Clip 4 Blue Ultra-portable Speaker
Controllers
Controllers that actually feel good in my hands.
And of course, I’ve got one of these. I use the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for both my Switch and some light PC gaming. It gets the job done and has held up really well over time. Reliable and solid—no complaints here.
Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, Black (Renewed)
I’m a gamer at heart—or at least someone who genuinely enjoys a wide range of games—so having one of these is a must. The Xbox Series S/X controller in Robot White is my go-to. Elden Ring, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Lies of P... yeah, good times.
