Yes, this laptop is slightly overkill for me right now. Yes, I absolutely love it. The investment will be worth it if it lasts 5+ years and, until then, I will enjoy a laptop which will do absolutely anything and everything I throw at it. It has replaced my desktop as my main computer.

I also love this computer, despite Windows. For most of its life it has happily ran Linux and, until its partial retirement earlier this year, it has done incredibly well for me. It currently exists as a game streaming PC.

Anything included above that might also be considered a service won't be included here.
anything else?
There are a few other things that don't really fit in with the other categories that might be interesting, and they will be shown below.
- KBDFans KBD67 Lite with Gateron Yellow switches.
- Numerous pens, including a LAMY Al Star, LAMY Vista and Waterman Expert (sadly no converters for the fountain pens yet).
- Apple Watch Series 6.
- Sennheiser HD 600, Bose QC35ii, FiiO FH3 and a FiiO BTR5 as a source.
- Q Acoustics 2020i (got for £50 at a local charity shop!) and a Marantz receiver to power them.
- Canon EOS 550d with lenses from Canon and Tamron.
