Seems to be a load of h/w purchases on devtalk rn :iphone: :desktop_computer: :headphones: :computer: :keyboard: What hardware have you bought recently? What hardware is on your wish list??

Great thread! I think we might need a section just for hardware at some point :sunglasses: [image] Carter: What hardware have you bought recently? I recently purchased an Ergotron monitor arm which I love! I wish I got one ages ago now. What I love most is how much easier it is to bring the monitor closer to you (when you need to focus) and then push it right back, for when you are just watching something. [image] I also ordered a Moonlander mechanical keyboard, but haven’t received it yet. [image] Carter: What hardware is on your wish list?? I would love a Mac Pro and an Apple Pro Display - but I’m not spending over £10K for it!!

waiting for more apple m1 reviews/benchmarks… or slowing saving up for ryzen maybe

Have a look here @jaeyson [image] Apple M1 Mac Reviews Hardware The reviews are coming in - if you spot any or have a review of your own, please add it nerd_face @ohm will be pleased, they seem to be pretty positive so far! [Apple M1 Mac Review: Time to Recalibrate!] :+1:

Received my new ThinkPad T14 last week :slight_smile: [PXL_20210118_115837768]

Ah nice! Will you be using it for Linux at all (if so @Exadra37 might be interested!) or sticking to Windows?

I almost bought one in the BlackFriday, but I just want with AMD PRO(Memory Encryption), but they are not very configurable, therefore I was not able to build it for my specs :frowning:

Linux Mint was the first thing I installed :wink: Just using Windows for work as we depend on VisualStudio / .Net Framework. Hope to slowly shift my work to Linux / VS Code as we migrate more apps to .Net Core.

If Apple doesn’t sort their act out I am going to try Linux one day - is Mint one of the better ones? I use CentOS on servers so would probably prefer one that is easier to learn from that perspective…
