One thing I'm really quite good at is packing to go on a trip really quickly. I've got like 3 laptops, an ipad, a 27" monitor, a media streamer, PS5 controller and all manner of cables, my clothes and my CPAP machine all fitting snuggly into my trusty suitcase. Then I have my backpack of stuff and a tote with foodstuffs and my blender. All took maybe 30-40 minutes and there was a shower in there too.
There's a shower... in your luggage? 🤔
That's a lot of electronics. I take my phone and a cable. That's it.
Yeah, impressive you can pack so much so quickly. Maybe it's time to get a Steam Deck and cut down on some of the hardware
Okay there's a lot to unpack here...
D-do you need 3 laptops and a monitor? Why do you need 3 laptops and a monitor? How long are these trips? Drug dealers only have 2 phones, what purpose do 3 laptops serve? By media streamer do you mean like a Chromecast/whatever that Amazon knockoff is?
And why do you need to bring a shower in your bag?
When I took my 5 day or whatever it was trip to Mildura, I took my phone, my tablet, 2 cables, 3 power banks, and a pair of headphones. Similar story with Sydney and Adelaide
When I was away for 3 weeks at the various hotels/AirBnBs, I took my phone, laptop, tablet, headphones, a power bank, chargers and while I was at the BnB, I brought my PC and 1 monitor (I didn't bring it with me to either of the 2 hotels), I also brought a raspberry pi planning on tinkering around with it to kill some time, but I unfortunately forgot the little mini micro nano HDMI thingy, so couldn't actually do much with it (could've done some config and set up SSH without first setting up the pi but eh). And I thought that was a lot
I hadn't been back to see the replies until now but this trip is a week at my parents housesitting so most of the electronics are for work. I have my personal laptop for personal stuff/gaming, work MacBook pro which I'm using now, work iPad, work windows laptop which I'm configuring as a Cloud PC kiosk device. Each of these serve different functions I'm testing. I probably could have left the iPad at home to be honest but it doesn't take up much room so I threw it in in case someone needed me to test something.
The shower was something I had in those 30-40 minutes not something I packed in my bag lol
My media streamer is an NVIDIA Shield Pro. I only brought it because my parents TV is too old for most streaming apps to work properly and now that I'm using the iPhone I can't stream to the Chromecast I gave them years ago.
If I'm going proper traveling none of the work stuff comes with me, or the monitor.
That's plenty lol.
For me, 1 laptop (hopefully can replace with a Windows tablet), an iPhone and a Samsung phone, few chargers. Plus clothes and toiletries.
An extra router if it's an international trip.
