Graduation and promotion at work gift to myself. I said I wouldn’t, I said I wouldn’t, I said I wouldn’t but... My coworker got one for himself today and I fell in love.

The feel is amazing, the screen looks no different than my 7 Plus (the XS is low key overrated) and I was able to get basically 50% off. Paid ~$350

I wanted to get the Red or Blue one, but once I slap a case on it no one would tell what color I have, lol. I thought about getting a clear case, but my experience with them is they collect a lot of visible dust under between the rear panel and clear case. Sigh.

Anyway...

First I bought the Echo Plus... and then I was hooked.

@Odysee, I just bought a new Logitech mouse too!

I already had the Master and Master 2 models. I love them. But, lately I've been having increasing pain in my wrist. And since I spend most of the day on the computer, I've decided to try the Logitech MX Vertical. I just got it, so can't really say much but the first few minutes of it feel quite unusual (duh) but not bad, not bad at all!

Awesome! I just setup my mouse and I love it! What is that software?
 
Decided to get the Apple Care + for the new MacBook Air. I never buy the AC for my Apple stuff, but this time I felt I should spend the $249 as much as I hate to.

Though I am having no issues with the laptop, it is a new version and given the history with the keyboard and the T2 chip problems on other models, I figure I should have the extra warranty this time, just in case.

I did the same with my Mac mini. £3k for a computer, meant it was worth the piece of mind (for me).
Let’s hope we never have to use it!

Yeah. If there wasn't a history with the keyboard or T2 chip I wouldn't have bought it. But, you're right, I hope we don't have to use it.
