(BROLL CLIPS WITH MUSIC)
What is up my friends!
It's Ray back here and we have a very, very special guest on the other side of the camera
in the studio over here today.
It is a super cool new desk for Autonomous called the SmartDesk Connect.
The SmartDesk Connect is a high-tech, futuristic smart desk that features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
connectivity to wirelessly raise and lower the desk anytime, and from anywhere.
Alongside that, it also features a 1-inch thick 53x29-inch desk, a rock solid stainless
steel frames, anti-collision sensors so it doesn't hit anything, a customizable keypad,
a max payload of 350lbs, ultra quiet operation when it's doing it's thing and a sleek, minimalistic
design.
If you want to your home office or studio space to be as automated and futuristic as
possible, I'll tell you guys right now, this is going to be the desk for you!
So the model of the SmartDesk Connect that I have here is the 53x29 inch classic desk
in dark bamboo with white stainless steel legs.
The dark bamboo is a bit more expensive then the other desktops for this desk but I think
it's well worth it.
It has that natural bamboo look and feel to it that the others don't have.
Do be warned though.
A black desk is a magnet for fingerprints and marks so you do have to be careful with
it.
The SmartDesk Connect has quite a few desktop color options to choose from that go along
with either white, black or gray stainless steel legs.
I'll admit, I had a very tough time choosing a color scheme for this thing but I'm so glad
that I went with the black on white.
It's minimalistic and elegant.
It looks great in my current studio and will look good anywhere it ends up in the future.
I absolutely love it!
Assembling the SmartDesk Connect was super easy.
It took me about half an hour total and that's mostly because I was unboxing it and filming
myself assembling it at the same time.
It's a lot of snipping, snapping, tearing up cardboard, then assembling the frame and
screwing on the desktop.
The only thing you need to be aware of is that the boxes are heavy so having two people
around, especially to flip the desk over when you're done is going to be very helpful.
As far as build quality goes, you're going to notice as soon as you open the box, the
SmartDesk Connect is incredibly well made.
Those stainless steel legs are hefty and that bamboo desktop is sleek and solid.
Together, they make for a premium, high end desk that looks as good as it feels.
I really don't know what else to say other than this thing is rock solid.
The legs on the SmartDesk Connect feature a new motor inside that's stronger and quieter
than most other sit stand desks out there.
Autonomous says that the Connect is quieter than 40 decibels and I believe it.
It's not silent but it is very quiet and not distracting.
In my opinion, it sounds quite elegant when it's doing it's thing.
Have a listen.

Despite it being pretty quiet, the SmartDesk Connect is no slouch.
It has a max payload of 350lbs.
This means that it can comfortably lift up to 350lbs worth of gear.
That's very impressive.
I highly doubt anyone would ever have that much stuff on a desk like this but if you
do have a lot of gear, just know that this thing will likely handle it with ease.
This desk also features anti-collision sensors which will make it stop if there's something
under the desk or above it when it's going up or down.
As you're seeing, these sensors do a great job of making sure they slow down the desk
and stop it so it doesn't hit anything.
It's a nice safety feature to have.
Next, let's talk about the main attraction of this desk.
Connectivity.
This desk is called the SmartDesk Connect for a reason.
It has both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity built-in so you can control it with the Autonomous
app from close by or anywhere in the world.
On top of that, you can set custom heights, schedule sit stand sessions throughout your
day, adjust the sensitivity of those anti-collision sensors and also change the color of the RGB
LED light on the keypad.
This is one of the most customizable desks that I've ever used.
The Connect allows you to make this desk truly yours.
I never had a problem connecting to the desk and the app is super simple and works well.
That's all there is to it.
At the end of the day, I'm a big, big fan of the new Autonomous SmartDesk Connect.
It's a beautiful, heavy duty, high tech, futuristic smart desk that's super quiet, comfortable
and a joy to get work done on.
I am very picky about the desks that I use in my work from home office space and the
ones that I use to film on in my studio and the SmartDesk Connect passed my picky test
with flying colors.
It exceeded my expectations big time.
It feels like it was meant to be here in my ever evolving smart studio space.
Oh and I almost forgot to mention on top of all of these features, the SmartDesk Connect
comes with a 7 year warranty so Autonomous stands behind the quality of this desk.
You'll be protected for years to come should any issue arise.
It's nice to have for some nice peace of mind, you know?
