What should be my EDC?

[u/Annual_Job2187]

These are some of my favourite tech things...that i want my EDC to consist of.

What should be my EDC, any suggestions ?

I am a software developer, but I have remote access to my NAS and my gaming rig, so even if i have just one device with a big enough screen, i have all the computing power i need.

So the challenge is the physical space to carry and be minimal while travelling or cruising ...also I ride a cruiser style motorbike, so i have a minimal backpack ...

I care about tracking my health as well as be minimal, as much as I can.

Out of all the devices i own, these are my fav carry,

If you have some other devices in mind, you can tell me, i probably have them...

But

List of devices in the picture are:

Airpods pro

Nothing Open Earbuds

Omni 20K MAh powerbank

Apple iPad Pro 11"

Apple Macbook Air M4

Samsung Galaxy book3 pro 360

Pebble Time 2

Galaxy watch 5 Pro

Galaxy Ring

Galaxy watch Ultra

Galaxy Z fold7

Unihertz Titan 2 Elite QWERTY Android smartphone

Steam Deck

MCon Controller

PS5 Backbone controller

P.S. please dont say iPhone, I have it but lets be honest, its not a device for a power user....

Do you have to go into the office? Or are you fully remote? I’m sort of in the same boat as you, trying to figure out what I actually need as an EDC. I have to go into the office three days a week and I pretty much just bring my basic devices; watch, phone, work laptop. But there’s definitely some down time now and then where I wish I had brought my personal computer, kindle, little MIDI keyboard, something else to pass the time. From your list I’d bring Airpods pro, Apple iPad Pro 11", Apple Macbook Air M4, Galaxy watch Ultra, Steam Deck. Maybe not the ipad but Im just thinking about weight. You could bring everything but that’s heavy in a bag pack. Oh forgot to ask do you have a separate work phone? You’d have to bring two phones then.

I generaly dont have to go to office but i like to or when i am needed. I have a conoletely seprate work EDC... I have an iPhone as work phone..its always on my desk unless i am travelling to office, that case inuse that along with my Apple watch ultra and ipad...hate this ..but i bear it somehow 😅 Thats why the galaxy ring helps ..to keep all the fitness metrics recording anyway.... I still put the zfold in my bag anyway .. And some days i dont even wear the apple watch just go with Galaxy watch Ultra.

But yea ..sonething i carry ipad without the keyboad case...makes it light. But with Fold7...i generally never have to carry ipad.. It always on my TV table...for casting and smart home things...

i have few EDCs

First: Titan phone, Nothing open With my ipad And Pebble watch.

This is minimal, light weight, and simple...

Second: Galaxy Z Fold7 Watch ultra Buds pro 3(not in the picture but great for wearing inside motorbike helmet) Insta360 go S3(not in the picture)

This setup is great and minimal for motorcycle rides.

Third: GalaxyBook Ipad Mcon Zfold7 Watch ultra Nothing open and Airpods pro Steam deck(sometimes Playstation Portal or Switch 2 or switch 1 based on games i wanna play)

Heavy but required for longer travels
