Laptop Information
I've never owned an actual PC, mainly because it's never been practical, but I got my first laptop in December 2018. This laptop was decent for its time but nothing extraordinary, and when I started to use more resource-intensive games and software, from 2022 or 2023, I knew I would have to upgrade. I bought my current laptop in August 2024, mostly using birthday funds, and set it up with Linux Mint, a wise choice. This was the first time I had to review a computer's specs and decide what I really wanted, so it was quite overwhelming. Still, I think it went okay, definitely an easier process than if I had to build a PC myself.

Literally Everything Else
Of course I have other things I use, but I try not to keep too much. I have gaming consoles and handhelds but I'll save it all for their own page.
- Phone: iPhone XR
- This phone has served me well. I don't regret picking an expensive phone, it was top of the line tech when I first got it, at least by my standards, and it's served me well for over five and a half years. Unfortunately, it's on its last system update, and the phone is noticably slow, but I only ever use it when I'm outside anyway, so I don't think about it too much. The whole theory that Apple does "planned obsolescense" seems like bullshit sold to tech illiterates.
- Tablet: iPad Pro 11-inch 3rd generation (2021)
- This thing is great, it runs every Roblox game perfectly, and with how useful it is for work, especially maths stuff, I'm probably going to have an iPad forever. It even came with 3 months of free Apple TV! So sad it expired in November of 2021... My old iPad felt like it was going to crack apart, and it was very strongly bent at the bottom-right, fortunately my current iPad has not yet met a similar fate.
- Microphone: It's still in the box...
- Cameras: Uhh... iPhone XR it is!
- Other Storage: Some!
- In addition to my 2TB HDD, I have a few USB sticks and SD cards. My 32GB USB is a ventoy thing for switching operating systems
- Internet? Good! 50Mbit/s download speed :D
