Meta Quest 3.

Also this https://7artisans.store/products/7artisans-50mm-f0-95-large-... which I took https://mastodon.social/@UP8/111061017008323474 and https://mastodon.social/@UP8/111077882869934997 with.

I'm a note taker and I got tired of having hand written notes scattered all over and never being able to find the note I needed. So took a leap and purchased an iPad Air and an Apple Pencil 2. I carry it with me and make all my notes there. I use it way more than I ever imagined. I use the Paperlike screen protector to make it feel more like writing on a notebook. And it has all the added benefits of an iPad.
