So I've been thinking about that quite a bit lately, with convergence being the new trend these days how do you prioritize and what do you really need tbh?
Phone : I feel like it's worth going for a Samsung or an Apple flagship in this case... The Samsung amoled screen enough for me not to buy anything else, I read a lot of ebooks on my Note and it's a lot less tiring on the eyes than LED to me. Apple has the best games, great design and the best resell value so I think it's worth it as well... Besides it's the only device you carry all day and everywhere you go so imo it's worth the most... Moto X, Nexus and the upcoming One plus One are great for the money but I've had some bad experiences with Nexus build quality...
Pc/laptop : not sure but strongly feel like it's not worth putting a lot of money into unless you use it for gaming... I'm even considering a chromebook at this point. Or something like the Asus T100... Then again any Apple laptop is probably worth it as well due to the resell value.
TV/projector : not sure either but feel like the best value is probably between 800 and 1600 bucks... Anything above 2k feels overkill but you do keep it a while so there's that... UHD is nice and all but there's no content aside from Naughty America vids so it doesn't seem worth it right now unless you watch several hours of porn per day, there's plenty of time to upgrade...
Gaming : no idea... Gonna wait until the steam machines are out, I see zero reason to upgrade to the next gen at this point anyway... Both the One and the ps4 are at the same price starting next month...
TV box : no clue tbh... Guess it's really up to what fits with the rest of your stuff and consoles can replace them in a lot of ways anyway...
I know the first thing that will come up is just buy a 1500 bucks gaming desktop instead of a chromebook + steambox/console and I guess that's true for quite a few people but to me desktops are just not practical enough in this day and age and gaming on a the couch is just better...
