Apple MacBook

Processor: 1.1 GHz Intel Core M

Graphics: Intel HD 5100

RAM: 8GB

Storage: 256GB NVMe SSD

Operating System: macOS 10.12 Sierra

Owned since: May 2016

I replaced my 2011 MacBook Pro. This may look like a downgrade, but the size and weight make it worth it to me. It's actually about as fast as my MacBook Pro was, with the exception of graphics performance.

iPad Pro

Display: 12.9inch 2732x2048 Retina Display

Processor: Apple A9X

RAM: 4GB

Storage: 128GB

Operating System: iOS 10

With Apple Pencil. Currently my favorite device for reading, browsing the internet, and taking notes. Completely replaced paper notebooks for me.

Microsoft Surface Pro 3

June 2014

Display: 12.1 inch 2160x1440 Glossy with Pen and Touch

Processor: 1.8GHz Intel Core i5 (Haswell)

Graphics: Intel HD 4600

RAM: 8GB

Storage: 256GB SSD

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro

Owned since: January 2015

Before the Surface, I had a MacBook Air. I wanted to try out a different kind of device, and, to be honest, I didn't really like it. Mostly now I use the iPad Pro or my MacBook, but the surface is still great for a full-featured tablet.

Lenovo Ideapad 100s

Display: 11.6 inch 1366x768 Matte

Processor: Intel Atom

RAM: 2GB

Storage: 32GB SSD

Operating System: Windows 10 Home

Owned since: 2016

I bought this to do some basic Windows things because I didn't like dealing with the Surface's high-dpi display. I need pixel perfect accuracy for some things, and the Surface doesn't give me that if the app I'm using doesn't support High-DPI. It also has amazing battery life.

Samsung ChromeBook 2

Display: 11.6 inch 1366x768 Matte

Processor: Intel Celeron

RAM: 2GB

Storage: 16GB SSD

Operating System: Chrome OS

Owned since: 2015

I bought this to try out Chrome OS, and for my dad to use as well. I use it more as a netbook, as the MacBook is quite heavy, and the Lenovo isn't very powerful.

iPhone 6 Plus

September 2014

Color: Space Grey

Display: 5.5inch 1920x1080 Glossy with Touch

Processor: Apple A8

RAM: 1GB

Storage: 64GB

Operating System: iOS 10

Owned since: February 2014

My phone of choice. I picked the largest possible iPhone, which was a mistake. For me, the phone is just too big. Originally I had a gold one, but when my brother upgraded to the 6s Plus, I used his 64GB phone in place of my 16GB one, which didn't have enough space for me.

Ah, the G4 Cube. One of Apple's most iconic early 2000s designs. I love this thing. It looks fantastic. I have the matching monitor and set of Harman/Kardon speakers as well. It's a beautiful thing to look at.

I bought a second G4 Cube because it came with the monitor, mouse, and keyboard. The OS 9 installer CD is stuck in the drive though.

Another one of Apple's iconic designs. The PowerBook G4 was the first to have the lit Apple logo on the back. It's hard to find one that isn't completely scratched up.

Because an original Mac is too expensive. Apple's Snow White design language is seen here. One my the floppy drives is broken on mine, but it has a Radius Accelerator card installed, so I can't just get rid of the thing.

Apple Newton eMate 300

1997

Operating System: Newton OS 2.1

Owned since: 2012

What can I say about it? It's the eMate.

ThinkPads are my favorite non-Apple laptops. They're made well, easily, accessible, and have excellent keyboards.
