I want to make some major life changes this year, as you know. I\'d love to be living overseas fairly soon and be rocking contracting work. Regardless I want to lighten up my work tools. The following is what I\'m thinking: ### MacBook This won\'t go away because sometimes you need to run Xcode while on the go. I guess we can say this would be my daily driver. ### Tablet I\'ve become spoiled with the ease of reading pdfs on my iPad, I\'d like to keep that life. I think everyone deserves a good tablet for the heavy reading. I still keep a kindle for ebooks but STEM (science, mathematics, and engineering) things on it is not ideal. ### Surface Go I want to separate my personal stuff and business stuff. I would be using this setup for contracting. I usually have separate profiles on my computer but that is a risk I can\'t take on this venture. The Surface Go is portal and enough to get me through IT task (remote into servers, change things on aws, ect). ### Mini ITX Desktop This is more personal than anything else. I want a smaller desktop because it\'s easier to move with. I use my desktop for light school work and hacking. If I were to get into bug bounties I\'d probably move hacking to yet another laptop. Which laptop you might be wonder? The Razor Blade Stealth (please sponsor me) has all I need . Good specs for gaming, school, and running VMs for hacking ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hoping this brain dump helps someone. If you have any suggestions on keeping a light and mobile please let me know.
