Poll: What’s the most expensive gadget you ever bought?

macbook pro 13″ mid 2010 for me :D

IMHO Camera is not a Gadget.

Mine is iTouch.

I’m both, depends on the gadget too. my most expensive combined purchase is a Canon 600D plus Tamron 28-75mm lenses plus some accessories for a total of less than 52k I got just start of july. My most expensive single item is Toshiba E205 for a flat 50k. This are type 2.

For type one, I went through a 2nd hand china Apad. played with it for a while then sold it. Also had an iPod classic which I sold it for a 2nd hand 5th gen Nano. Also had a 2nd hand netbook which I use when I travel to places not convenient for a 14 incher laptop. Hm… other stuffs would be CDR King items, the kind of stuffs that you use now and then eventually you don’t use anymore, ok na CDR King.

type 1 maybe because in my 4 years of college i had used 5 laptops.. the old samsung sens x15, an emachine dual core notebook, an acer aspire gaming laptop, a monster sized 2nd hand sony vaio and now im graduating college with my lenovo new z470..

Canon 7D with L lens =.=

Gotta be the Nokia 5110! Classic!

2011 15″ MBP

Mine would be ny MSI EX460 which was priced at 34,999 almost 2 years ago. Still works great and functions as a desktop replacement today although I can still bring it to wherever I go as it’s battery still has 95% charging capacity compared to when it was brand new. It’s just that I prefer my Asus Eee 1215T when I am mobile as it is lighter.

Bought a 500watts solar set for the amount of 160k but I guess that is not considered a gadget no? ;-)

Type 1 for cameras and laptops. My decked-out SLR and Thinkpad cost me a lot of money 2 years ago, and I still use them. I have no intention of replacing them for the next 1-2 years.

Type 2 for mobile phones. Bought an HTC 9 months ago. Now I have a SGSII. I change phones often.

Mine is Motorola Xoom last March, 2011

PC: My i7 Rig, around 70k+ :)

ako? i bought 2 ipads, 1 MSI GT660 and 1 HTC Sensation this year.

Toshiba Satellite 2435-S255 bought second-hand sometime in 2003. Funny, as that Pentium IV machine actually cost more than the Core 2 Duo machine I’m using now.

Phonewise, I dunno. I don’t think I’ve ever actually bought a cellular phone. I subsist entirely on gifts and hand-me-downs for that.

I’d say I’m Type III. Very stingy, always looking for the best bang-for-the-buck item that will last me 5+ years or so.

I dont buy for my gadgets, i get them for FREE.

i bought a nikon D3001 and a laptop last month and spent 90k… what good is a DSLR when you cant process the images on a laptop…

A core2duo 2.0Ghz laptop bought almost 5 years ago that cost me over 90k.

MacBook Air 2010 in November for P67,990. Quite expensive but I really got what I needed – a light and thin laptop easy to carry around with battery life that can last me the whole day and screen size enough to keep many windows open.

i bought mt laptop asus k42j-vx108 for 37k last jan..! and so far its my most expensive gadget,,
and will be getting a NIKON d3100 late this sept or oct perhaps,

am the 2nd type.. i guess so..

most expensive electronic gadget ive bought?
HP 100 LX palmtop computer. circa 1994. php 26,000.00. the cost was well worth it since the unit lasted for 8 years before its hinge/flex conked out. no repairs, no reprogramming and never was opened.

my Canon 5D Mark II @ P105k
and my first generation iPad wifi only 16 GB @ premium price of P45k, got it 2 days after its official launch in the US, no regrets, felt really good to be one of the first owners in the world

mine is the borderless lcd tv and home theater system from lg. its 150k but they gave me a cash discount of 20k. happy with it kasi last ko na yun. hehe

LCD series 5 samsung tv which i bought last decemeber at a price of 28,500 pesos and recently bought a canon s95 at a price of 27,950

HTC desire HD. Bought it for 29k during its first release.

Macbook air, iphone4, ipad and touch 4g bought all together at the same time, dec 2010 total p153k

MSI S420 Laptop – Core2Duo – 55k way back 2006. Hindi pa uso yung mga netbooks nung time na yun.

So far my video editing built up PC, which I got for 38k. Have spent for an 11k 1080p monitor too, so that will total to almost 50k. Planning to splurge for a 2012 MBP next year..or an iPad HD incase its released and it runs FCPX.

i got my ipod touch 4 for 16500 from pmc

my dslr nikon d3100 + lenses one of the digitals+simplify things from old school slr camera… so its a gadget

probably the most expensive was my sony vaio z 2009 i gotit for $3,999. it was the latest and greatest that time..

my most expensive gadget was my ipad1 32gb wifi/3g@36k it was last 2010.

My Fujitsu Lifebook laptop worth 74k something back in 2007. I could say it’s a great investment since it’s still in great shape and I’ve noticed it outlasted my friends’ more recent ones. :D

iPhone 4 32GB – Php 43,699 a Pre-paid kit from Globe last year.

my cherry mobile p1
,50k

MacBook Pro i7 w/ 8GB RAM and SSD – P135,000
Apple Cinema Display 27-inch – P43,000

Before iPhone ever came, my most expensive gadget was a Dopod pocket PC which costs 45k. I didn’t think about the purchase, I just want it. That was during the time I was single and have no family to worry about. This year, my most expensive gadget purchase is my new 2011 11 inch 128gb macbook air. I’m still a mobile phone addict but thank God the prices of smartphone got cheaper that I’m able to change phones every 3-6 months.

my most expensive gadget is this HP-540 laptop which i bought for 27K as a computer loan on my company, which fyi i paid for three years, heheheee….

the most expensive gadget that I’ve bough was the SE p900 when i was in second year highschool, circa 2003-2004 around 40k php

Nikon d90

Mine, I used up my savings from my allowance and from selling my other gadgets, would have to be iPhone 4 16GB.

I never bought gadgets for my self… but I have 2 Nokia N8 , My beautiful Desktop Computer and this week , the iPad2 :)

Nokia d90..

the most expensive gadget that someone bought for me was Dell Inspiron 1764 $1400 that was last year.

So, how do we classify someone, who buys top of the line, but also upgrades regularly (1-2years cycle)?

Anyway, if we’re talking bout computing/mobile only, that would be the latest iMac, with additional options.

But if we consider including media, that would be the Bose entertainment system for me.

My most expensive purchase was for a desktop PC worth 50K. Wasn’t really looking at long term usage or to replace it in the near term. I just wanted to maximize my company’s computer loan availment. Hehehe

1. Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 35k+? – next week? or by september 2011.. haha
2. my Desktop PC with core i5 – 35K – Year 2010
3. my Htc desire last november 2010 – 24K

mine are:

400d/28-135mm 2007/40d 2009 /tamron 17-50mm with vc 2011/macbook 2008 / desktop pc corei5 – 40k 2011 / wildfire s july 2011

hi Abe,
have been seeing a lot of polls in yugatech lately, and some topics are indeed interesting to know the results.
may you kindly share/publish them?
thanks.

I bought ipad 2 and dell streak 5 at the same time.

I bought black iphone 4 32g and white iphone 4 16g last year.

I bought a Sony DSLR last year.

Delll purple 14.1 inch laptop also last year.

Sometimes I buy gadget just to test if I its easy to use but if its not I usually sell it after a few weeks.
