As someone who’s always trying to find better ways to interact with technology, the TRMNL e-ink display I saw in a YouTube video, was really intriguing. There’s just something about the clean, paper-like look of e-ink that appeals to my minimalist side. The idea behind the TRMNL is beautifully simple: make important information glanceable. Whether it’s your calendar, weather updates, or a daily motivational quote, this little device keeps you informed without being distracting. No notifications, no backlight, just passive and ever-present data that blends into your space. ...
The Apple TV is the better way to consume media on a TV. Its smooth interface, instant performance, and seamless integration with my Apple ecosystem makes watching anything feel effortless.

The Apple AirPods Pro are by far the best in-ear headphones I’ve ever used. The seamless connection and effortless switching between my Apple devices make them an absolute game-changer.

The minimal design, solid build quality and smooth performance make it a device that feels refined from day one and stays that way over time. ...
When it comes to tablets, the iPad stands in a league of its own. I’ve used others, but nothing quite delivers the same balance of power, design and everyday usability. It’s clean, lightweight and built with purpose — whether I’m reading, sketching, or working on the go, it just fits into my workflow. The display on the newer models, especially with the tandem OLED technology, is stunning. It’s bright, crisp and handles color with incredible accuracy. Watching movies, editing photos, or simply browsing feels immersive. It’s one of those features you instantly notice and it’s hard to go back once you’ve seen it. I also use the Paperlike screen protector, so in all honesty I do not take advantage of the screen, but the writing and sketching experience is more important for me. ...
When it comes to getting work done, I always choose a MacBook. I’ve used other laptops, but nothing matches the smooth, reliable experience Apple delivers. The solid aluminum body, minimal flex, and clean design give it a premium look and feel. It’s a device that holds up both physically and functionally over time. As a programmer, I rely heavily on the Terminal. On macOS, it’s fast, clean, and generally works like magic. The touchpad is the best I’ve used. It’s responsive, spacious, and supports gestures that actually improve workflow. You don’t need a mouse especially when writing code. The keyboard is also excellent, Comfortable, quiet, and reliable. ...
