Phone

Quantity: 1

Considering that we need at least gym headphones and normal headphones:

I think wired headphones are better than the wireless ones.

We have 2 options: jack or USB-C headphones

If we want to chose with USB-C, there are 2 possible types of USB-C audio connections: digital or analogic.

Digital USB-C audio requires an external DAC either in an adapter either integrated in the headphones (because in the analogic USB-C audio the DAC is integrated in the phone), but this takes weight and space.

So for gym headphones is better to use analogic USB-C audio, which requires the phone to have a DAC.

But we have some problem: If we want to use non-gym headphones with USB-C there can be cases where is better to connect the headphones to the thunderbolt dock, and I think thunderbolt docks with a DAC integrated USB-C are rare,

so we would a need an external DAC or DAC integrated headphones.

But there is a also a big problem with USB-C: It cannot be rotated as jack, and this feature along with a 90 degrees jack is really convenient.

And another advantage of jack is that we will not need a USB-C adapter.

All this makes me choose jack 3.5 TRRS over USB-C digital/analog

Must-have requirements: 1 USB-C connector, 1 jack 3.5 TRRS, Bluetooth 5+, nfc, fingerprint sensor.

Nice-to-have requirements: e-sim support, waterproof, oled display

I want a 2-in-1 laptop

Laptop + charger + cables for charging

Quantity: 1

2-in-1 laptops are either convertible either detachable, convertible ones I think are handier.

Note that it would be better to have a laptop with thunderbolt 5 (240w) and thunderbolt 5 docks with power supply, but is too early for this.

I assume that vr headset replace displays other than the main one of the laptop ( the main display of the laptop still have some benefits).

The thunderbolt 4 port is for the vr headset/external display.

The USB C port is for the USB C hub.

If your hub doesn’t have enough USB-C ports you can consider using adapters.

Must-have requirements: Bluetooth 5+, Convertible, 1 port Jack 3.5 TRRS, 1 thunderbolt 4 port, 1 USB-C port (another one), built in microphone, built in webcam.

Do you want connect an external processing unit (for example GPU)

No

Yes

Additional must-have requirements: 1 more thunderbolt 4 port

Nice-to-have requirements: ethernet, micro sd reader, dynamic amoled screen, EMR technology, fingerprint reader, as many usb-c as you need.
