My Favourite Owned Tech

To get to know me and my tastes a little more, i thought i would list the favourite tech i own and use the most. 

Alienware Alpha PC Console (Steam Machine)
 

Intel Core i5. Window 8.1 (upgradable to windows 10). Steam OS (HiveMindUI). 8GB RAM. Custom Nvidia GeForce GTX GPU.

I enjoy PC gaming as well as console and this offer the perfect combination of the two.. sitting next to various consoles on my media bench - it plugs into my TV to enjoy PC gaming on the big screen. The game i have played the most is Cities: Skylines, however, i am literally addicted to TerraTech (Early Access).

Playstation 4
 

I am a huge gamer and upgraded to playstation 4 from the previous gen just after release. I've been playing consoles since the Sega Mastersystem and have owned many consoles since including Nintento, SNES, 64, Gamecube and Playstation 1-4. My most played game on this platform is Battlefield 4. i am currently enjoying Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain.

Nvidia Shield TV (Pro)

 

I bought the Nvidia Shield before UK release as i like the idea of Android micro consoles. This is the first one of which i have purchased as previous attempts to create a decent Android based console have been underwhelming. This one was full of promise though and didn't disappoint. My most played game is Asphalt 8 but i have a bit of a thing for the ridiculously additive Crossy Road too.

X-Rocker Gaming Chair

 

I bought this chair after a renovation and decided to play video games in a little more comfort. It has speakers in the headrest and a bass in the bottom centre of the seat. As the name suggests, you can rock back and forth or sit in a variety of positions due to the nature of the shape. 

Sonos Music System 

 

I bought this music system when my previous speaker died, i decided to go down the streaming route. It's quite a pricey offering but i think it's worth it. The sound quality is great and it fits in nicely in my set up. I subscribe to both Spotify and Google Play Music and both are compatible.

Chromebook Pixel

 

I enjoy the speed and convenience of Chromebooks, but my one criticism of them was generally poor build quality. Google put this right with the Pixel using premium materials and high pixel screen. I use it daily and definitely my favourite laptop (even above the Apple Macbook Air).

Xperia Z Tablet 2

 

I love the look of Sony mobile products. The battery is also a good factor to consider when purchasing, which Sony seem to get right. Their skinned version of Android is also lite and runs very well even well into the life cycle of the device. I enjoy games such as Worms 3 and my most used apps include YouTube, YouTube Gaming, Chrome & Planner 5d.

Avantree Powerhouse USB Charging Station

 

I bought a charging station to clean up my set up and get rid of many excess cables and chargers. This was a good option. It has two 2.1 amp and two 2.4 amp connections. It helps keep my set up clean and tidy and fits in well with my Black, White and Red set up.

Star Wars Stormtrooper Lamp

 

This was pretty much just a novelty item i saw while shopping in MenKind. It goes well with my set up and i wanted a mood lamp and this was just perfect. It is battery or mains operated (via Micro USB).
