What are some upcoming items (announced only, not pie-in-the-sky, not-going-to-happen items) that you are excited about and can't wait to be released on the market?

I'll get this ball rolling:
- 2019 Rav 4 & 2019 Rav 4 Hybrid
- 7nm Zen 2

I'm about to turn off this ac unit in my bedroom..my hands are kinda cold.

If anyone wants to donate me mouse with 2 side buttons, that would be swell... playing path of exile new league is brutal without it.

Only excited about the rav4 because I've been having to climb inside the passenger side door of my car for the past 1-2 months. Only 6-12 months more to go.

I get a little excited over stuff, but it's not the latest/greatest. I was pretty excited to get my 3/8 lopro saw chain presets that came today, but it's not like I had to wait for anything more than shipping time. Just need some decent weather to take all my stuff outside to work on it; eg autumn.

Buying a 1100sqft townhouse for a rental. Not real excited because I'm going to have to deal with tenants again. The wife and I are self employed and need other income streams. Should be $1400/mo furnished. Planning on month to month for the transient professionals at SRS and AECOM. Friends are paying $1500 for a 2 x 2 in the hood. We'll see...

I helped a friend of mine with his rental. That was all I needed to know I don't want anything to do with rental property. Seems like the two choices are low end property with low end people, or high end property with pains in the ass. Neither option is appealing.

Fall...the weather has been brutal, I ended up being treated for dehydration along with chemo yesterday

Also looking forward to the announcement of new iPhones so the older versions will fall in price. My 6S plus is getting long in the tooth & I’d like a newer one

Nothing really. I don't keep up with the latest tech anymore or buy a lot of new stuff unless I need it. I think I fall into the brianmahanana camp.

But, I am getting a brand new pinball machine next week, so there's that!

Neither do I dude. I don’t own, and never have owned, a tablet.

Tablets are great for internet browsing
That's what I thought til I got a smartphone. I don't see the purpose anymore. With a big tablet, it takes almost the same room as a laptop, but isn't nearly as useful, and a small tablet isn't as pocketable as a phone, and is only marginally easier to see.

I know it but what's a guy to do?

I have a ruger precision rimfire rifle coming, that could be neat.

I also have a Colt Canada MRR coming, and that’s a gun you Americans can’t get so that’s a little exciting.

My wife wants to get me a new iPhone to upgrade my 6 but I don’t care to until it dies.

There really is literally nothing new I’m looking forward to buy. Maybe the new mid engined corvette in 10 years when prices come down and I’m ready for an old man sports car.
