There are many tools and products I use to make my personal and professional life easy and productive. Following is the set of the tools, some of what I use quite regularly and some occasionally.

Gadgets

Apple M1 MacBook Pro (16-inch) 2019 – 16GB RAM, 1TB storage

It’s my bread and butter, haha! This is the machine provided by my work (office).

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra – This device is a beast. 100x zoom is insane. I did not buy this device. Because it costs a fortune! (1L+ rupees). My office provided this device to me for testing, can you believe it’s a testing device! Insane!

iPhone 14 – Another device for testing purposes, got from office.

Earphones – Oppo Enco M32, if you are looking for a Bluetooth earplugs with solid build quality and sound output. Go for it without a second thought.
