Favorite piece of tech you've ever owned

it has to be my dad's tablets in 2007. He used them to work like a normal PC and was a precursor of what we have now.

it was something that people were amazed to see every time we used one of them in public.

EIZO EV2730Q! Had a few for business use after reviewing a sample. Since I no longer work where I did, I'm missing mine greatly -  though I did just order one!

My ASUS X200CA, that thing lasted me for nearly 5 years. I finally replaced it about a month ago when it started getting too slow for my needs and having heat and battery problems. Still have it around, still love it.

I'd have to say my PS2, a few of them broke (overheating) and we got a new one, I spent so much time on the PS2 it was basicly my life. Best game I played was StarWars BattleFront 2, still have the PS2 and the game but sometimes it doesnt load, which makes me sad...

My Gameboy Advanced SP (OG no headphone jack) I guess? Has some sentimental value to it being one of the first things my mom bought me lol

My oldest and arguably most favourite tech was the USR V.Everything modem.  Started out life as a 16.8k modem, was upgraded with a new daughterboard to the V.32 standard, and eventually with firmware to V.34, V.34+, VFC, and a few other standards I forget.  I still have it in service for sending/receiving faxes.

 

Also, an IBM 101-key Model "M" keyboard that I obtained in 1988.  Still runs, hooked up to a reasonably modern Ivy Bridge machine.

What was the most awesome and reliable device you've ever owned? I was reminiscing about my original Moto X today, which had battery life like it was brand new, all the right extra features added on to Android and was just the perfect size, when I..well... dropped it into the ocean last year. I'd probably still be using it if I still had it, though I do love my Nexus 6P. 

I have the 1st gen moto x as well. Like it a lot, but my battery ages very fast. after only 2 yrs of use it probly only have half the battery life as new. :(

Mine had almost perfect battery life at that point... I guess you've lost the "lithium lottery" you could say.

My Sharp scientific calculator. Not this model, have EL506, they look exactly the same. My parents got that for me, while I was in Junior High. Never changed the battery and it still works. Sadly some of the LCD pixels has died. Comes with a hardcover attached to the calculator on a swivel hinge.

I was going to say my nvidia shiled k1 tablet.... but thinking about it a bit more I'd have to say my original xbox, I used that thing day and night, was soft modded so I could keep all my games/movies/music on the HDD. I still miss it today :(

Nexus 5, my first good phone, had it since release and it's been amazing since. I'd honestly consider getting another one before pretty much any other phone on the market - the price is just too good for what it does.

Microsoft Intellimouse Optical 1.1A . That one that has 5 buttons, back and forward being large button on each side of the mouse. Had two of them. First one was white and lasted me like 3 years. Then the left button broke and started double clicking a lot. Second one was black and I've been using for like 8 years until last month. Like the previous one, left button broke and started double clicking.

 

Now I have new mouse with both back and forward buttons on one side and I can't get used to it.
