Me Listing My Tech

I have always liked to use a good amount of time for choosing the tech I purchase and use. Today I decided to write about what and why I have currently for my setup.

Personal Computer

Before I always had the latest, or almost the latest Macbook Pro and usually same laptop was used for working and personal stuff. However, now I have had for over a year desktop computer designed by Apple and upgraded by my brother.

Apple iMac 21" 2011

• Processor: Intel Xeon Quad-Core
• Memory: 20GB of DDR3 RAM
• Graphics: Quadro ???
• Hard drive: Samsung 500GB SSD
• OS: MacOS Monterey (installed with OpenCore Legacy Patcher)
• screen: sadly 1920x1080
• keyboard: Ducky ???
• mouse: Logitech G402
• microphone: Blue Yeti Microphone (Blackout) with Boom Arm Stand, Pop Filter and Shock Mount

Why Desktop and That Old

Desktop because for a long time I was allergic to even be on computer. Desktop has been enough for the limited use, and also kinda fun that I cannot drag my computer everywhere I go. I have been also fixing and selling old Macs and everytime I catch myself thinking "should I keep this one myself and retire the old iMac", I have the same internal discussion: That old iMac is enough for my needs, and the ones I fix, I can actually turn into cash.

So here I am, still using 2011 iMac, 12 years later it was released. You are enough my old friend, you are enough.

Work Setup

For over a decade of my career I managed to work only with Macs, but in my current job I had to agree on using Windows laptop. It's a decent one, but sadly it has Windows.

Dell ???

• Processor: Intel i7 ??? 12-core?
• Memory: 32GB of DDR4
• Hard drive: Hynix 1TB nvme SSD

After using Windows daily for last 9 months I could say that it has been lesser bad than what I thought, but still, it is a struggle, just like it was over a decade ago.

Other Setup & Tech

• iPhone 11 64GB
• Dell 27" 4K Monitor
• LG c9 65" OLED
• LEET Gaming electric standing desk
• Isku Step F office chair
• RainDesign laptop holder
• Philips HUE + led strips

Hopefully I will fill in the "blanks" later and I could also make an /use page later for my tech&setup, will see.
