Products I Use and Recommend

The iPhone 17 Pro was launched in Sept 2025 with the A19 Pro chip and the all new iOS 26 operating system.

Apple switched back from a Titanium body to the Aluminum body with a Vapor Chamber to keep the iPhone from getting too hot.

The main reason in my opinion to choose the iPhone Pro model is for the camera features. 8x optical zoom, 24-48 megapixel rear cameras.

An all-new square sensor enables switching from portrait mode to landscape mode with a single tap on the screen.

The 18 MP Center Stage keeps you focused in the frame with a field of view that automatically expands when you are taking selfies with friends.

For your first iPad, the 11” iPad Air with the M3 chip offers the best value, in my opinion.

The newest iPad model released in Oct 2025 is the iPad Pro with the M5 chip, available in 11-inch and 13-inch sizes.

Whichever model you choose, I would recommend getting 512 GB storage if you can.

The Apple Pencil Pro elevates your experience with the Apple iPad in so many ways. It’s great for handwriting notes, adding your signature to documents, annotating and highlighting PDF files, and having fun with digital drawing and painting

Apple Pencil Pro is compatible with:
iPad Pro (M5 chip) 13-inch
iPad Pro (M5 chip) 11-inch
iPad Pro 13-inch (M4)
iPad Pro 11-inch (M4)
iPad Air 11-inch (M2 and M3)
iPad Air 13-inch (M2 and M3)
iPad Air 13-inch (M2)
iPad Air 11-inch (M2)

All-in-one desktop computer, 24-inch screen. I recommend the model with 4 Thunderbolt ports and 512 Gigabytes of storage. Camera and audio are included in the design. I would suggest getting a full size bluetooth keyboard with touch ID instead of the smaller keyboard.

In Oct 2025, Apple released an M5 MacBook Pro in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes. However, the MacBook Air has always been a popular model if you need a portable computer without all of the extra bells and whistles.

This link is for a 2025 15-inch MacBook Air with the M4 chip and 512 GB of SSD storage.

The least expensive way to get a computer from Apple is to purchase a Mac mini, which is basically the “tower” we used to have with other desktop computers. This hardware device can be connected to an existing 4K (or lower resolution) TV in your home via the HDMI port. The HDMI port carries data and audio. All you need to add is a keyboard and mouse and you are on your way!

This is the 2024 Apple Mac mini with an M4 chip and 512 GB of SSD storage.

You’ll need a monitor for your Mac mini. It can be attached to any of your existing TV screens in your home (most have at least one HDMI port). However, if you’d like to have a dedicated monitor, I’d recommend a 4K Television with a 32” - 55” screen. The Dell 32 Plus model S3225QS is the perfect size for a desktop and beautiful 4K (3840 × 2160 resolution) screen to work with your beautiful photos and videos.

If you own a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, this 4K TV provides lots of room to work with multiple applications / windows in a large view that won’t strain your eyes.

If you have a Mac with a Silicon chip (M1 - M5), then this full size keyboard will be compatible with it. This keyboard has a Touch ID button to make it easy to authenticate settings, online purchases, etc. I find it faster to type on the full size keyboard and the numeric keyboard makes it easier to work with accounting and spreadsheet data entries.

The Logitech MX Master 3S is the most comfortable, responsive and precise mouse I have ever used. It can connect with up to three devices and switch between them with the touch of a button. Speaking of buttons, there are many customizable buttons you can configure on this mouse. It is by far one of the most important tech tools on my desk.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
