Tech
- Ultimate Hacking Keyboard is my favorite keyboard. It has a "layers" feature that lets you have an infinite of custom functionality. This split keyboard is unique as it doesn't have an ortholinear layout that you have to adapt to AND you can get scroll wheel/trackball modules that eliminate the need for a mouse/moving your hand off your keyboard.

Work
LG DualUp 28" SDQHD (2560 x 2880) Nano IPS Display. It's like having two monitors stacked on top of each other. Definitely nice for work, but terrible for entertainment due to the aspect ratio. Would be nice if there was a feature to auto-rotate the display to landscape mode. I recommend using BetterDisplay Pro if you need to adjust the resolution on the fly for screensharing and whatnot. Side note: I've been pondering the Samsung Ark Display as a replacement for this for the rotating feature.
For personal use/work I use the MacBook Air M2 8GB RAM. I'm very happy with all the improvements Apple Silicon brought to the table. I'm able to run everything I need at a good speed and the battery life is great. That being said, I am thinking about upgrading to the new Mac Mini M4 Pro to run localized AI models.
