Last January I got a new laptop that blows my desktop out of the water in terms of specs. I was dumb and decided to get a budget desktop because of all the USB ports and the disk drive it has. It was something like $300-400USD. My current laptop was roughly $1000USD before tax.
Had to remove the complete spyware win11, but otherwise it's been a great laptop (minus the few times I've either somehow broken MXLinux or broke KDE Plasma). Totally better than my old laptop as well considering I don't need to constantly charge my new one to keep the battery from dying and it doesn't have a lot of damage.
Going to get roasted for this, but Alexa devices. The video versions play Netflix, YouTube, Hulu etc and have much better sound than the standard little speaker orb version. They all sync together so you can stream music in each room that has one like having a whole house stereo system.
Being able to verbally add something to the grocery list at any time is a game changer. People aren't taking advantage of that feature as much as they should IMO.
The shopping list feature is the most used part of my Alexa, followed by morning weather report while I feed the animals, and then occasional music.
Just any voice assistant in the kitchen to set cooking timers.

Dehumidifier - 5 years and counting drying laundry indoors overnight with no risk of rain or wind!
Epson tank printer
Second the tank printers. Cartridges cost way to much fing money
Mac book Pro, I got the M3. Massive improvement from all the previous laptops I've had. Don't have to put up with Microsoft bs, don't have to tinker with it as I would with a Linux OS. Hardware is great, build quality is great. Can do everything I need for university on it, can play all the games I want to on it.
Personally I'm well past the mega corporations own the world and know everything about me doomer stage of my life and am okay with selling my soul to apple for a good laptop.
Electric whisks. I'm never stirring a drink with a spoon in my life.
Smart oven + meal plan: My spouse bought me one for my birthday (a Tovala) and I have to admit I was skeptical at first but hot diggity damn does it make fresh cooked meals easy. We very rarely order out now and the meals are usually very good (stay away from the burgers though, their bread usually sucks).
