Ask HN: Which electronics/gadgets do yo truly like?

2 points by rulambo 5y ago ↗ HN

Hey HN! I recently went through watches I want to buy and decided on a classic Casio A168. I paid around 50 Dollar for it and when it came, I remembered how fascinated I was by it as a kid and it is a true joy to look at it every day and have it on my wrist.

The last time I felt this about an electronic device was with the Nokia N9 smartphone.

Now I am wondering if there are more electronics which fall under this category with which I can replace my current ones.

I put the Thinkpad X1 under this category a bit, since somehow the plastic it uses and the keyboard make it feel like a proper tool instead of a MacBook, I can't explain why!

Well, this is a boring answer but I love my 2013 15" MBP. I use it every day for work and non-work purposes. It still feels and performs like it did when I first bought it, never had it in for repair. It's really been a tremendous value.
