Actual Computers
My 2024 M3 MacBook Air
CPU: Apple M3 @ 4.05 GHz
GPU: Apple M3 Graphics
RAM: 16 GB DDR5
Disk: 512 GB NVMe
Display: Standard 2024 M3 MacBook Air Built in Display, and 2x 27″ Dell 4k monitors when docked.
OS: macOS Sequoia
Notes: This is now my main machine, and my desktop has been put into storage. The combination of a solid Unix command line, native support for many common apps Linux doesn’t support, and Parallels for most other apps makes this a solid machine for my needs at this time. I intend to eventually upgrade to a MacBook Pro though.
My Steam Deck

Display: 1280×800 8″ Built In Display, 2x 27″ Dell 4k Monitors (When Docked)
OS: SteamOS 3.7
Notes: I’ve always wanted something like this since I was a small child. An easy to carry handheld PC that can play PC games. I also emulate consoles on this device, as it’s an emulation powerhouse!
