I have a first generation Xbox One and a PS4 Pro for most of my gaming and entertainment needs. I previously owned a Nintendo Switch, but recently gave it to my niece so she can play with her older brothers. For work (and on-the-go gaming needs), I use a Dell gaming laptop with an 8th generation Intel i5 processor, 8GB of memory, 128GB SSD, and a 1TB HDD with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060. For my phone, I use an iPhone XS 64GB, complete with the Kardashian-favorite LuMee Light-Up case for protection from the elements and the uncanny ability to make soft-lit selfies look like studio shots.
