Finally jumped onto the Google Home bandwagon.
Last year, I decided not to buy it despite it being priced at US$99 (S$136) because the ecosystem was not very mature yet. Fast forward six months later, it has improved quite a bit.
I bought the Cable Matters 2-Pack, Gold Plated DisplayPort to DisplayPort Cable (6 Feet) on Amazon for US$17.99 (S$25).
I bought it together with the Cable Matters Thunderbolt 3 to Dual 4K or Single 5K DisplayPort Adapter.
I was looking for an adapter that allows me to output to two external displays using just a single port and I realized that USB-C is not the way to go. USB-C specifications only allow one external display per USB-C port.
So the next logical thing to search is for Thunderbolt 3 adapters and I found the Cable Matters Thunderbolt 3 to Dual 4K or Single 5K DisplayPort Adapter from Amazon retailing for US$79.99 (S$112).
Bought the Anker PowerPort 6 5V/12A 6-Port Wall Charger on Amazon for US$20.49 (S$29).
Its usual retail price is US$26.99 (S$38) but because of an ongoing promotion, you can use the promo code, GEYC7LFE, and it will give you a discount of US$6.50.
I got my nonda USB-C to USB 3.0 Mini Adapter from Amazon for US$9.99 (S$14).
It qualifies for AmazonGlobal Saver which gets you free shipping to Singapore if your order is above US$125.
I was looking for a USB-C Ethernet adapter and came across the Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter which retails for S$49 in Apple Stores and Anker USB-C Aluminum Portable Gigabit Ethernet Port Network Adapter which retails for US$22.99 (S$32) on Amazon.
I find that the Belkin Ethernet adapter is overpriced and if you want to get the Anker Ethernet adapter, you might as well top up a little more to get the Anker USB-C to 3-Port USB 3.0 Hub with Ethernet Adapter.
If you are looking to use a USB-C to USB-Cable to charge your USB-C MacBook Pro, your USB-C power adapter and USB-C cable need to support USB Power Delivery.
The Anker PowerLine USB-C to USB-C Cable is retailing for US$15.99 (S$23) and is available in 3ft (0.9m).
It is tough to find a USB-C to DisplayPort Cable or USB-C to DisplayPort Adapter. I have not found any physical stores in Singapore selling it yet. Instead, you have to get it from online stores like Lazada or Amazon.
For USB-C to DisplayPort cable, I bought mine from Amazon as there are more choices to choose from.
Bought the Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse from Amazon for US$59.99 (S$85). According to CamelCamelCamel, US$59.99 is the lowest price for the Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse.
The mouse qualifies for the Amazon’s AmazonGlobal Saver Shipping program and hence if your order is above US$125, shipping to Singapore is free.
Cards Against Humanity started out as a Kickstarter project where it raised US$15,570 from 758 backers out of their inital goal of only US$4,000.
I did not back it on Kickstarter because, at that time, I am not really interested in card games.
