Top Ten Tech Toys I Would Buy If I Had the Budget

N.B. There are some affiliate links in this post. I would get a commission if you happened to order these.

1: Drone
The DJI Mini 3 Pro is small enough that you don’t need a licence in Canada and idiot-proof enough for me to use to shoot video.

2: JBL Endurance Dive Bluetooth Headphones
I like this wrap-around form factor, and they are waterproof too!

3: GoPro Hero 10
For non-aerial and underwater videos.

4: HP Omen Gaming Laptop
I already hate Dell, Acer, Toshiba and Lenovo, so if I was to spend money on something serious for gaming (if I ever found the time for it), maybe this one.

5: Chromebook
On the other end of the computing spectrum are Chromebooks. I could use it just for writing, surfing and streaming. I guess I’d try ASUS since Samsung ones don’t seem to be available in Canada…

6: Smart Watch
I’m not sure my Garmin Forerunner 910XT is cutting the mustard anymore. I would want something with better connectivity. Maybe the Fenix 6 Pro, but I’d be willing to consider Polar or Suunto as brands.

7: Kobo Sage
A waterproof eReader that can also play audiobooks via Bluetooth, and act as a digital note-taking device

8: Moleskine Ellipse Smart Pen
Speaking of note-taking, this pen works with a Moleskine paper notebook, and digitizes your notes and sketches as you draw.

9: Power Meter Pedals
If I find myself getting into triathlon again, power is the performance metric of choice when cycling, but it is very expensive to add that capability to a bike.

10: Smart Swim Goggles
Tracking laps swum is a pain, and performance metrics make for smarter training.
