I built my main desktop computer for less than $200 USD. It has an Intel i5-4590 processor, 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM, an RX 470 graphics card with 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM, a 500w thermaltake power supply, and a 256GB SATA SSD for the boot drive. It also has two 2TB HDDs that were each purchased for around $20 used on eBay. One of them stores all my movies/TV shows, the other stores everything else. I use random HDDs to back up my important data. My desktop PC works fine for now, and I don't have any plans on upgrading it for a while. If I were to upgrade it, I'd put more RAM into it. 8GB is barely enough nowadays, and I also like to have 6 gorillion tabs open so my PC crashes a lot. The case is a Thermaltake Versa H21. I got it because it was cheap (around $50), has plenty of room, and it has three 5 1/4' expansion bays. One of the expansion bays is occupied by a DVD burner because I burn DVD/CDs sometimes. I have Linux Mint installed on my main desktop because it "just werks" for me.
I have a secondary desktop PC that I use only for gaming. It cost me around $220 USD to build, which is pretty good considering the specs. It has an Intel i5-4690k, 16GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM, GTX 980 4GB GDDR5 GPU, 600w PSU, and a 1TB SATA SSD that I got in March of 2023 for $40 (right before the prices went way up). The case is some cheap case I got on eBay by a brand called "DIYPC". I don't really care for the RGB LED lights or whatever, I just got the case because it was cheap and looks decent. It's obviously pretty outdated, but it runs any game that's worth playing. Modern games suck. It's running Windows 10 because there are a couple games that will not run on Linux. I ONLY use this computer to game so that's why I'm fine with it running Windows. Nvidia GPU's are a pain to setup on Linux, so even if every single game worked on Linux, I'd probably still keep it on Windows.
The main laptop I use is a ThinkPad X280. I got it used on eBay for $100. It has a 7th gen i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 512GB NVMe SSD, USB-C charging, decent port selection, and good enough battery life. The screen is 1366x768, which isn't a dealbreaker for me, but something worth noting. There's basically zero upgradability with this laptop. It lacks an ethernet port which is annoying. The X280 is pretty snappy thanks to the fairly modern processor, and it can handle all the things I do on a laptop. I'd recommend getting the T480 instead of the X280 because it has a higher screen resolution, replaceable battery, and an ethernet port. This laptop is quiet most of the time. The fan only spins up if you have too much stuff open at once (several tabs in a couple different browsers + a couple other programs open). For the price, I'm happy with the ThinkPad X280. I have Linux Mint installed on my laptop.
I had several different iPhones from 2015-2022. I got a Google Pixel 4a in 2022, and upgraded to a Pixel 7 in 2023. The Pixel 4a was the best phone I had ever owned. It had a plastic back (no breakable glass), 4G signal only, a headphone jack, it wasn't too large or too small, etc. The Pixel 7 had a glass back, no headphone jack, 5G only (no option to switch to 4G), slightly too large for my liking, etc. Despite that, I still preferred the Pixel 7 over any iPhone. My Pixel 7 broke around October 2024, so I started using a family members old iPhone SE (2020 model). Going back to an iPhone has reminded me how much iPhones suck. I cannot comprehend how normies use iPhones and don't want to shoot themselves. If I can't get a replacement Pixel 7 for free, I'll probably just get some cheap android phone. I don't pay for my own phone bill, but if I were forced to, I just wouldn't use a phone probably.
