My Gears
Friday, December 4, 2009
Some people occasionally asked what tools I used on my daily job, so I figured that I write this post just to keep an archive of my current set of tools that I depended the most on:
24″ iMac 2.4 GHz
Except when I’m not in town, perhaps there isn’t a day go by without me using my trusty workstation. It’s an upgrade to the previous 20″ iMac G5 (which is still being used by Disti on the next desk), and it has proven to be worthy for almost 2 years now. It is paired with a Samsung SyncMaster 2033SW as a secondary display, Altec Lansing ATP3 speakers, and a pair of 1TB WD MyBook Studio Edition for a redundant backup system, which is highly important in my line of work. Why not the Mac Pro? The answer to that for me is simply that it is an overkill.
12″ iBook G4
Up to this day, despite of those numerous upgrades Apple has done with the MacBook, I’m still using the last generation iBook when I have to work outside of the office or out of town. But since it’s a G4, and it’s nearing its own end of days, I seldom use it now except for checking emails or browsing.
iPhone 3GS
When I’m outside, this is my next best thing after the iMac, serves the purpose for me entirely. And if you’re wondering why I’m not using that ever-popular BlackBerry, read here.
Canon PowerShot G10
Because I’m not a photographer by occupation, I rarely needed a full-size SLR. That’s why this is my camera of choice, smaller than a DSLR, more powerful than your average joe pocket camera.
