Things I've bought and enjoy

A great laptop that does what it's supposed to do very well. Runs about 4-6 hours on battery and was (for it's time) pretty fast. Shouldn't have chosen the discrete graphics option though. (about 1700 € in 2008)

An electronic reading device. Even though it has no touchscreen and wireless connectivity, it's great at what it does. I've hardly taken up a hardcover since I've gotten it and there's always something to read on Gutenberg or other sources. The screen is still considered the best among E-Readers by many, as seen by the still expensive price (secondhand) of about 200 €. I bought it for about 220 € secondhand in 2009.

This 24" screen works great for watching movies, playing games and just staring at text scrolling by (me being a gentoo user, that's what I mostly do…). It uses an S-PVA panel, which means a high viewing angle (great for movies with several people). Add a bevy of connection options (which I don't use) and you have a great screen for doing almost everything (except printing preview and stuff, but you need a color calibrated screen for that anyway). This beauty cost me about 400 € in 2009.

Quickly became my favorite bag. The medium bag holds enough even for my larger grocery shopping trips, and my laptop (see above^^) sits snugly in the compartment. Also holds money and train ticket, both easily accessible. Worth every cent (129 € this year).
