What is the best piece of electronics that you have ever purchased?

You know that feel when you realize that the thing you bought was well worth its price? :D

About a year back i bought the google nexus 7 2012 for about 135$ , that would seem like the price for a used one...but i got brand new on an awesome deal!. in my opinion that has been my best purchase yet. (a close second would be my q8400 that i got for 135$ about 5 years back and sold it only recently.)

i use my nexus 7 mostly to watch movies, tv shows, and youtube videos aswell. i also read books on it and occasionally play some games and browse the internet.

data usage a month varies from around 10-15GB.

i can read about 14-15hrs straight on a full charge(minimum brightness).

can browse the internet or watch you tube videos for about 8-9 hours on wifi at half brightness.

7hrs of HD playback on full volume and brightness. (decent viewing angles)

4hrs of games on full volume and brightness.

Haven't had an slow downs or lags. i guess they did a good job integrating TRIM into the os itself!

It has absolutely no competition at that price.

and my xb-400 @ 25$ was a great purchase as well.

 

tell me yours guys :D

My Gigabyte GTX 680 SOC that I got for half price was a really good value.

My Anker battery pack is also a killer value. Only payed 37% of the full price, and now I can feel like the power fairy (or electric Oprah if you prefer) for weeks without a recharge.

My i7 2600 is probably the best investment I've made. Even after 3 years the new cpus in that price range only beat it by about 20% at best. I'm also very satisfied with my philips monitor, it certainly does its job perfectly.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I recently bought a mCubed t-balancer used for 35€.

I only began to scratch the surface of it's capability but it's already amazing compared to other fan controllers and it really satisfies my silence-freak heart.

who cares...
