Hey, how's it going? Dave2D here. So the other day, I put up a poll on Twitter,
just to kind of see what setups you guys were using, and the most common answer was the Android phone with a Windows
laptop or desktop.
And I kind of expected that. But, the thing that I thought was interesting was how few people were using Android phones with MacOS
ss their operating system on their computer so basically an Android phone with an apple computer
And I thought it was strange because just so many of my friends and family use that as their primary setup
It was just a little bit strange
But I thought I would make a video to kind of showcase the stuff that I'm using in March of 2018
So I guess I'll start with the phone the phone amusing right now is the pixel 2 XL
This is a relatively recen t switch if you ask me three weeks ago
It would have been the iPhone 10
but
Two things number one the camera on the pixel 2 XL is just I think it's the best camera in the smartphone market right now
And the other thing that's been bugging me recently is I picked up the Apple home pod
pretty good looking device, and I also been using the Google home max for quite a while now since it launched and
I'm not gonna do a review these. I like this a lot, and I will say that
This is a cooler looking device, and it sounds pretty good
I would actually say it sounds better than the Google home max
But I really don't like how aggress I've they've been with the whole
anticompetitive stuff like the fact you can't you Spotify with it and like there's just so much to dislike about this thing and
The fact that Siri is as bad that it is compared to Google assistant
It just makes me not want to use this so it just makes it an easier choice for me to use this as my primary
phone the Google pixel to excel okay the computer that I use the most frequently right now is this the Dell XPS 15
It's not brand new or anything this thing's actually from early 2017, but it's just such a well-built machine
And the screen is awesome one of thin bezels. I like this thing a lot now
I feel like it's due for refresh relatively soon the 8th gen H processors will probably hit this chassis in the spring or summer and
Yeah, I'm looking forward to that
But this is my main laptop the other laptop that I use occasionally is a 13-inch MacBook Pro without the touch bar
And I just use that to go to access some of the stuff at work that requires Mac OS
Ok next up is a battery pack. This is from Ankur. No no the model name, but
26800
Power Core Plus, that's a mouthful
But the thing that I like about this thing is the USBC so uses use BCE to charge and it can also output
through use BC so you can fill up your laptop your phone through that port and you can use the charger from those devices to
Fill it back up. It's really convenient now the backpack that I use for all of this is a backpack from a company called oh
This is this is gonna show sure it's made by a company called cote ACL, and it's a French company
So I'm sure screwed up the name, but it's a pretty big backpack that can hold a ton of stuff
And it's just a nice looking backpack that I chose because of its aesthetics more than anything else
Okay, backpack done. What else do we got in the backpack?
I've emptied it out just for this video
But the stuff will normally go around with include the MX anywhere 2 s
So I think this is literally the best travel Mouse available. It's small lightweight long battery life awesome Mouse
I also travel with this
This is a backup Drive Western Digital and the reason why I like this drive over the Seagate drives that I used to use is
simply because of the rubber feet on the bottom it gives you a little bit of traction on your table wherever you place it and
I like that I also travel
always with these cables if you guys have seen them my videos before it's they're called chef phone or something and there's just
awesome utility
They're like 9 bucks you get every single
charging cable that you could possibly need and it's just something I always have in my bag the
External drive that I use the most frequently is this thing it's the SSD to go from angel bird
it's a smaller faster better Drive than the really common Samsung t3 or t4 is the
The real reason why I bought this was because of the blue color. I know I'm a loser ok
Headphones that I use most frequently h7 Wireless B&O. I like these a lot
They're not cheap, but I think I've tried a lot of wireless headphones
And these are my favorite again aesthetic plays a role in these these look really clean
But they also sound excellent so other stuff that I use is this thing it's a flash drive
It's got USB C on one end use BA on the other hand
I have this around all the time just in case I need a flash drive
I think that's basically it for tech. I have a whole bunch of knives in there. Hope I have this
This is a Gerber knife. It's by far my favorite small knife. I like small knives
I like to have them around, but this is my favorite one because you can replace the blade always stays sharp
And it's just very compact very inexpensive the knife that I use in my studio most often is this thing
It's the James chapter knife, and you can't get this anymore unfortunately, but it's like a limited edition
I got it because of the blue like I'm all about that blue you guys know that
That's well, there's this this isn't really tech, we've kind of like devolving into this non, tech channel at this point
Books I use one for work one for YouTube. It's just and a pencil these are poppin books different colors
I like that and then a mechanical pencil from Pentel. It's called the graph gear 1000
I feel like I've shown this before in some video or another, but I really like this pencil and obviously like these books
You'll see these in all my videos of different colors and stuff sunglasses from Ray Ban obviously they're teal
Cameras that I'm using I shoot off a red scarlet W
This is like my regular camera
And I'm actually recently trying out the Canon 1dx
Mark -. I really like that camera way more than I thought it would it's not meant for video only
It's primarily a stills camera. I think but I've shot some b-roll with it
I really like what I've seen with it so far, but that's basically it
This is the stuff that I'm using right now in March of 2018. Okay. Hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs
We liked it subsea. We loved it. See you guys next time
