+This is list of hardware and software I use. 
+Note, that I have two PCs (work MacBook and personal ThinkPad).
+I try to address this when applicable.
+
+## Hardware
+
+### Computer
+
+My company provides (and forces me to use) a 2021 16-inch MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro and 32 GB of memory.
+It's as everyone says: crazy fast, dead silent and heavy as a horse.
+It's also much too expensive and impossible to repair.
+I simply can not recommend it due to the price - both the purchase and in case of any problems.
+M1 may be fast, but the downside is the level of integration. 
+You can not replace anything, the CPU, GPU, cache, memory and spying stuff is a single substance.
+I am afraid that this is the future of personal computing, and I am not pleased.
+
+My personal machine is a 15,6'' ThinkPad Extreme, gen 2. 
+It's equipped with Intel i5-9300 8 core @ 4 1GHz and has 32 GB of memory.
+Furthermore, It has two GPUs: UHD Graphics 630 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile / Max-Q.
+It would be a perfect machine if it wasn't for the NVIDIA.
+It's the only way to achieve monitor output, so I am forced to use it.
+Unfortunately, the support for Linux is bad and for BSD it's abysmal.
+The battery is drained in an instant, the computer overheats, and yet I don't game.
+Luckily, the drivers exist for FreeBSD, but OpenBSD is out the question due to licensing issues.
+Perfect if you use Windows or PoP_OS. Otherwise, I'd reconsider.
+
+### Phone
+
+Not much to say, as phones are boring. 
+I use iPhone 13 mini, and I'll try to stick to it as long as possible.
+I try (and fail to) not use phone at all, so I don't need the horsepower.
+I don't install apps because why would I?
+The primary use case is YouTube on the john and contactless payments.
+
+I am eying e-ink devices, so if this one breaks, then who knows?
+
+### Computer and pointing device
+
+I found love in Charybdis from Bastard Keyboard. 
+You can read my [review here](/2023/charybdis/).
+
+Highly recommended!
+
+### Monitor
+
+Dell P2727Q.
+
+It's a 27-inch 4k monitor with USB-C power delivery, USB hub and an Ethernet.
+Works as advertised.
+
+### Headphones
+
+Sennheiser 6xx.
+I can not recommend them enough.
+Light, comfortable and sound just good enough for me not to look at audiophile headphones.
+They are also wired, which is a huge plus.
+
+Headphone amplifier very recommended - I use Topping A50s.
+
+### Speakers
+
+Ruarkaudio MR1. 
+I like those! 
+I have them connected to computer via line-in and to a Wiim mini streamer using a digital connection.
+They are small speakers, so nothing to write home about - but for their size they work great.
+
+However, I bought them for their look.
+Full wife approval factor
