When people are looking to buy products for their business, they often ignore things that have the “gaming” tag on them. They want solid business tools, not toys for gamers. I think they’re often wrong.

Recently, my wife needed a new computer chair that had better back support, so we got her this gaming chair.

A few years ago I needed a new Windows laptop to have as secondary computer, and I ended up with “gaming” laptop. I don’t use it for games (I have other devices for that…), but I wanted powerful specs on the laptop and a gaming machine was the way to go.

Routers are often the same way. I personally just use a Google mesh router for simplicity, but if you want to squeeze out every bit of speed that you can, a gaming-focused router is the way to go.

Another area is headphones. I tend to use simple earbuds most of the time, but if you want very high-quality headphones, include the word “gaming” with your search and you’ll do well.

I talked a few months ago about how putting the word “reddit” in your Google searches can yield amazing results. Similarly, if you’re searching for a tech product for your business work, the word “gaming” might be the way to find what you really need.

  1. When I needed a new home office chair, I bought a gaming chair with the thought being “gamers spend a lot of time sitting, so retailers have likely made these chairs incredibly comfortable”. It is the best office chair I think I have ever owned. And they come in crazy colors!!
