There have been episodes in the past years where I changed my primary hardware configuration, literally, every month. But for the past 11(!) months nothing much has changed to my hardware setup, but — with a new month up ahead and almost having finished all Options4ALL empowered projects — there is a change of requirements coming from coding / webdevelopment, to more multimedia and marketing.
Anyway, let’s have a look what made everything that’s about to surface all possible. As there many people who think I have a powerhouse of a setup … and I do in a sense; as everything is tweaked for maximum performance and effectiveness through software customizations. Hardware wise? You’ll be amazed though.

Yes, this is the first iPad ever released. It’s not the best and thus crashes often during browsing the web from Safari or Feedly, however it’s perfect for watching YouTube videos from bed (for doing research or self education). And watching offline content thanks to Softroni’s Waltr. Moreover to make quick notes and sync it through iCloud / Gmail notes.
