### Hook
I don't think you *need* special gear to build stuff - just like you don't need Obsidian or any other note-taking tool to take good notes. But here's the thing: I LOVE gear.
I watch a lot of videos about the latest hardware, love to try out different operating systems, and like to have multiple devices "for testing purposes". In this video, I'm going to show you what I'm using right now in the following categories: computers, mobiles, tablets, readers, wearables, and audio. And everything I mention is something I use *daily*, with no exception.
Shoutout to Ramesh, who left a comment just a few days ago after I'd already started putting this video together:

### Outro
You're probably thinking that this is all a bit excessive. And you'd be right! Remember, I work and play and breathe in tech. My job requires me to be up to date on the latest and greatest technologies. If that's not you, then take this list with a large grain of salt.
Everything I mentioned is linked in the description below. What are some of *your* daily drivers? Leave me a comment - always interested in learning about what other people are using. Thanks for watching! *Prettig sinterklaasfeest!*
