Hardware I Use: A Glimpse into My Tech Setup
In this "My Personal Tech Gear" section, I'm excited to give you a tour of the tech hardware that powers my everyday life. You'll get an inside look at the keyboards, phone chargers, and other essential items that I rely on daily. Join me as we explore these everyday tech heroes that make life just a little bit easier and a whole lot more efficient.
Laptop
MacBook Pro Apple M2 Pro 14.2"
Supercharged laptop with a lot of power and excellent battery life.
Love the all day battery life, super good performance, excellent display, speakers, trackpad and keyboard. A blast to work with even when travelling or working remotely. Also the value and price lasts for quite some time so I see it as a long-term investment.
Super super pricy. If someone steals it or you spill water over it it's game over. Apart from that excellent machine.
Monitor
Dell UltraSharp 40" WUHD Monitor
40” curved WUHD 5K2K monitor that delivers exceptional color and clarity.
Excellent monitor that was recommended to me by a friend. The 5k resolution display is a joy to work with. Fits three windows easily, so perfect for web development. Also comes with a USB-C Port so you can connect and charge your USB-C compatible laptop with one single cable.
For some reason the monitor does not fall asleep. So at the end of the day I need to power it off.
Keyboard
Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID
The Magic Keyboard delivers a remarkably comfortable and precise typing experience.
Super convenient to authenticate with TouchID if you're locked into the apple ecosystem. Battery life is fantastic and typing experience great if you like the Mac style typing experience.
Quite pricy for a simple keyboard, as most of the Apple products.
Mouse
Amazing ergonomic and just feels great in your hands. Perfectly tuned for Mac users (e.g. mission control, swiping etc.).
Phone Charger
Anker 3-in-1 Cube with MagSafe
The Anker 3-in-1 Cube with MagSafe offers a safe, fast, and simultaneous charging experience for your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch.
Perfect for traveling and just super convenient to charge all three devices with no cables.
Magnetic field not super strong if you use a charging case. Never paid so much money for a phone charger.
Lights
XIAOMI Mi Computer Monitor Light Bar
2.4GHz wireless Remote Control No Screen Reflection Eyes Protection Ra95 USB Lamp Display Hanging Light
Perfect for longer coding nights. No reflection from the monitor and neat looking wireless control for switching light warmth and intensity.
Hardly fits on big screens like the one, I recommended above, but it just barely works, although on smaller monitors the fit is probably even better.
Chair
Sedus se:do Pro Light Swivel Chair
Comfortable and ergonomic: Height-adjustable backrest, anatomically shaped seat shell with pelvic support, adjustable armrests and sliding seat enable individual adjustment.
N26 actually had these in their offices. I liked them so much when I quit so I decided to get one of them myself. Super comfortable, really good quality and love the minimalist design.
Desk
SANODESK Basic Line
Electrically Continuously Height-Adjustable Desk with Collision Protection, Memory Control and Soft Start/Stop Function
Great desk and collision detection can be great if you accidentally parked your chair below the table.
