Tech Checkup 2019

Personal Electronics

Just about everyone owns a phone.  And I love the vitaminwater challenge to ditch your phone for a year.  In our case that is an iPhone XS Max, a Pixel 2, a Samsung Galaxy S4, and the trusty Amazon Fire Phone.  The Pixel is a work phone, so the iPhone is the only phone we spent over $100 on.

For our personal computers my wife and I each have a work laptop and at home we have a 2014 Mac Mini.

We each have a pair of Bose headphones.  I got the QC35s which are expensive, but I bought them used for about half the price.

We each have a Kindle Paperwhite which I’m pretty sure I purchased with some Staples ink money.

We also have a Sony a6000 which my wife likes to use when we travel.

Household Electronics

We got a Google Mini as a gift and then purchased a Chromecast Audio for $15 to control a dumb speaker we have in our room.

I was pretty sure we were going go without a TV.  But after seeing the prices of projectors we ended up with a Samsung 55″ TV.

We have a Ring doorbell and security system.

Kitchen

We have the a mixer, food processor, instant pot, slow cooker, and ice cream machine.  Nothing crazy like a sous vide, cotton candy machine, or a deep fryer though.

Conclusion

I try to keep things to a minimum and especially electronics since they can be expensive.  I’m pretty proud of what we have and the fact that it isn’t very expensive and gets used frequently.  Most of the items I bought used and will sell it as soon as I no longer need it.
