An apple watch, I did order one back in May but decided to cancel the order, annoyingly it had already been despatched and I had it sat for 2 days without opening it. Then sent it back.

Currys in the UK recently dropped £50 off the price of Apple watches, making the 42mm cheaper than getting the 38mm straight from Apple.

I managed to resist again, just don't think spending out on a first generation product is a good investment.

iPad Pro.

My son has taken over my Air 2 for media consumption, learning games, and the like. I have my 6s+ that I use when browsing the net on the couch or relaxing but really miss my iPad lol.

I am trying to use my son's usage of my wife's 1st gen Mini as a reason to give her my Mini 3 and get myself a new iPad (Air 2 or Pro). However, I just can't pull the trigger with a new baby on the way.

New baby has been here for 4 weeks so I am treading lightly and trying to time it right to that exact discussion.

Haha, congratulations!

I have one that will be 2 in February and a new one coming in April. We are on a bit of a spending freeze.

I am with you. 3 1/2 year old and then this newborn. Daycare alone is going to be more than my mortgage the moment she is going to school.

I should be keeping myself from buying anything!

For me, it's the PS4. Seeing all the awesome new games makes me want to buy one. However, I have a PS3 which is just sitting there not being used. (Has been sitting there long before the PS4 came out). I lack the free time to be able to play video games these days. The temptation is tough to fight off though.

I got one last year for my daughter mostly, but where as I used to game a lot, having a better console doesn't mean I have more free time to play it.
In other words if you don't use/have time for your PS3, that's unlikely to change much with a different console.

Any place but here or there....
iPad Pro. Need to conserve as much as I can for school since a semester sets me back almost $2k.

If these were available in Rose Gold, I'd have one. Yeah, after years of saying no Gold / Rose Gold, ...well bling I feel your sting.

I hear you. Considering selling my xbox 360 to upgrade to a PS4, but can't quite bring myself to justify the cost.

I know the feeling. Funny thing is I have games for XBOX 360 and PC that I haven't fully explored and enjoyed yet... so I think it'll be the same if I get an XBOX One.

I really want a good Espresso Machine. I can find one for a good price on Ebay, but I don't know if I need to spend that money at the moment.

Currently considering the same upgrade, ditch 360 and get a PS4. Mostly because of the amazing games that have come to it recently: I need a way to play them!

Computers. I freaking love computers

I have a 2014 13'' Macbook Pro. I am set on my laptop for several years with this great machine but it doesn't mean there isn't other stuff out there I like.

Dell XPS 13 - Dat screen bezel

Oh lord, I think I'm in love

Asus Zenbook

It comes in 15'' you say? And that finish. Lawdy

Macbook Air

11'' 10+ hours battery? Oh man it was so close on going with my Pro or one of these beauties. I absolutely love the Air!

Chromebook Pixel 2

I really liked Chrome OS. I wish it would have worked better for me. I like computer games to much and there's still quite a few things that want Windows or OS X to use on the Net. Gotta have my sports streams.

Really only scratches the surface. Lots of gaming laptops and business class laptops I like as well. Dell Latitude is a perennial favorite.

For me at the moment iPad Pro.

You and me both ever since the day it came out.

Also some Phillips hue set up like thing for my living room as I just mounted my tv and have a nice built in wall unit. I've seen some great set ups with it.
