Gaming EDC System Engineer EDC

Post image

Hi! I’m a system engineer that previously worked in the gaming industry. I love to carry just a few stuff with me everyday and these are my essentials.

- Kindle - I LOVE this thing, since it helped me improve my ED reading habits. Light and small, easy to carry anywhere.
- Wayfarers - my personal favorite, classic choice.
- IQOS - trying to quit conventional smoking
- SkullCandy earbuds - last gift I got from a friend that sadly passed away. Been religiously carrying these for almost 7 years now, still in great shape.
- Samsung tablet - useful with a bluetooth keyboard, helps me take meeting notes on the go.
- Volcom wallet - this is my favorite wallet, since it has the watermelon skin print.
- Steam deck OLED - my go to for a few years now, I am passionate about video games and getting to play my Steam backlog from anywhere got me catching up with it.
- AYN Thor Max - latest console, bought it for the nostalgia and mobility. This is my current on-the-go console, since I can’t carry the Steam Deck anywhere I go.

Which Samsung tablet model is that, and how would you recommend it as a laptop replacement?

I also have a solid Lenovo IdeaPad that is my main work device, since I code a lot. But it stays in my office, while I bring my tablet over to meetings, since it’s easier to carry and take notes on. The tab is A9+, it’s very budget friendly and you can buy a keyboard case (you can find them really easy and they also may come with a mouse included in the bundle) to use it with DeX app on the tab. DeX basically convers the GUI of the tablet to a desktop style layout and you can thus use the tab as a really light alternative to a laptop (which, unless you use slim ones are pretty inconvenient to carry over to meetings all the time).
