As a digital nomad pre-pandemic, I always prioritised gadgets that could keep up with my on-the-go lifestyle. Simply put, that meant a smartphone with mobile data; and occasionally, a laptop and pocket WiFi. But now, things have changed. My work-from-home routine, like many others’, has become more tedious and repetitive. Over the months during this pandemic, I’ve frequently needed an upgrade just to keep my juices flowing. Alas, now I’m facing my current obsession: window shopping for #aesthetic retro keyboards on Lazada!
