What’s in your bag? (December 2011)

December 26, 2011

…in the style of The Verge.

BIG THINGS

Acer Aspire One (early 2011)

A great little netbook, the Aspire One covers all of my basic on-the-go computing needs. It’s extremely thin and light, and pretty fast for such modest specs. It runs Windows 7 Starter and Ubuntu 11.04. 

Fujifilm S1700

A great value bridge camera, with an awesome 15x zoom and 720p HD video recording. It also takes some pretty amazing macro shots. I love it. 

Google Nexus S

My new primary phone, as of Christmas Day 2011. It runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and is one damn fast phone. Mainly used for messaging, on-the-fly tweeting, web browsing, and also makes the occasional phone call. 

Apple iPod touch

It’s a sort of backup device, and has my entire music collection stored on it. It’s slow and battered, but I keep it around as an old faithful. 

LITTLE THINGS

Bose On-Ear headphones

They offer very good sound quality, are very comfortable, and best of all, they fold up neatly (pictured) to easily fit in a bag without any problems. 

Pocket Boom

This weird device can turn something like a table or chair into an amplifier; you plug one end into the 3.5mm headphone jack on your device and the other ‘limpet’ end sticks onto the object, thus essentially turning it into a giant speaker. Pretty cool to show off to people, although I don’t use it that much. 

Buffalo Ministation 300GB portable hard drive

Basically, I’ve stopped using USB pen drives. 

Microsoft Arc Mouse

Comfortable, cool-looking, and extremely portable. The perfect netbook and desktop mouse. 

HSBC Key

Basically a layer of security to login to my online banking, which I do from a variety of different computers/devices, hence I carry it around all the time. 

Cables (not pictured)

There’s a lot of them, from chargers to data cables. 

Stuff that’s Coming to Uni

September 18, 2011

This is what’s on my list of stuff to take. 

Somewhat restrained for me, but other than clothes, shampoo, etc, I’ll be taking the following:

-Dell 15R

-Acer Aspire One netbook

-HTC Incredible S, Palm Pixi Plus, iPod Touch

-Bose OE headphones

-320GB HDD, USB hub

-Gear4 iPod Sound Dock

-Fujifilm S1600

-Bike

As I say, that’s pretty restrained for me; I was considering taking my 20” display, but I probably won’t have room for it and it’s a pain to transport there and back.
