Nintendo Switch
13" laptop

luckily i never interested with bigger screen, so i dont need second monitor at all when i'm working

Macbook Air M1 has been a godsend, it was light, quite small and i literally can place it on my lap while working ( the temperature never get too hot)

40 litre backpack

dont have suitcase, which is good thing, i tried to put all my stuff with this backpack, so i dont need to buy checked baggage on airport

wise debit card
smartphone

dont need additional camera, the phone is good enough to capture the moment

bunch of clothes, toiletries and thats it

The Air M1 is spot on, it is the exact machine I am also using and traveling with. Every person around me is questioning why I (lead developer) is working on an Air instead of a Pro. But it is more than fast enough and so light that I would never pick the pro.

And the really great part is it's only $750 at Costco. 8 gig 256gb version. Handles video very well.

It's basically the same thing. M1 silicon has been a game changer for me. Low heat, great battery life, just need to consciously avoid Rosetta x86 emulation as that tanks all benefits.

While not quite as compact as the Switch, the Steam Deck is insane for how well it replicates a true pc gaming experience on the go.

I’m m currently carrying a steam deck. It’s awesome!
