My one month review of the ROG Asus Zephyrus G14. Short version? Buy it. Yeah it’s really that good. In the review I talk about benchmarks, gaming performance, battery life, portability, upgradeability, speakers, trackpad, keyboard, the built in mic, the lack of a built in webcam, etc and overall value.
I picked up the the Bose NC700s to compare against the Sony WH-1000XM4s right now and first impressions so far:
Going to try these out for a week. Might just return both and see what Apple will announce or release later this month.
Works pretty great. Not sure why Microsoft half assed their phone app for windows. Dell Mobile connect can be installed on any PC with an easy work around through the Microsoft App Store.
Here’s what I did:
1. Login to Windows App Store on your BROWSER, not the actual app store application on Windows.
2. Search Dell Mobile Connect
3. Click on the 3 dots located next to GET, and select add to cart.
4. Check out (it’s a free app, don’t worry)
5. After checking out and “purchasing,” open the Microsoft Store application on Windows.
6. Login if you haven’t logged in on the Microsoft Store app. Click the three dots on the top right hand corner, go to My Library and download Dell Mobile Connect.
7. Follow the instructions after you install it. It will also make you download the app onto your phone from the AppStore
8. After you install it, make sure you allow all the requested permission on your phone (again follow the instructions carefully), download the required Dell Mobile App drivers and restart.
9. Launch the app on your phone and Windows
10. Congratulate yourself
A week after building my first PC in 20 years, I decided to benchmark my new gaming PC against my previous gaming setup… the MacBook Pro 16-inch with an eGPU + NVIDIA RTX 2070 Super.
In this video, I benchmarked both of them on Shadow of Tomb Raider, Call of Duty Warzone, Control, and 3D Mark Time Spy and Firestrike. I knew there was going to be a performance variance between the two setups but I did not expect that much of a performance hit when using the eGPU!
If you want to jump right into the benchmarks, it starts at 3:32 of the video. Or if you don’t feel like watching here are my results:
Tomb Raider
Modern Warfare Warzone
Control (DirectX 12)
3D Mark Time Spy
3D Mark Firestrike
This is my first PC Build in 20 years. This is a time lapse, of me building the PC. The whole process took about 3 hours, but if I could have completed it in probably less than 2 if I didn’t make idiot mistakes. And yes I did some cable management and I adjusted the orientation of the cooler after the build!
Just hit 600 subscribers so doing sort of VLOG and update on the state of things right now on a personal level. Actually using this as an excuse to test out the new camera light and the $200 wireless mic that I’ve only used once or twice.
I did commit earlier this year to doing at least 1 video at least once every week or two weeks but so many things have happened in the past 3 or 4 months where I couldn’t dedicate time to doing any videos. Got laid off, switched jobs, working on school, changed my plans for 2020, etc etc.
Thanks for watching and thanks for your continued support. Please be good to each other, stay safe, stay healthy, and let’s get through 2020 together.
My two month review of the Apple Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro 11-inch. Unfortunately, due to COVID, my business and personal travel plans have been canceled making it hard truly test how well it is to use away from home. I will however do my best to address if it’s worth the $300- $350 price tag, if it works well as a laptop replacement, and if it improves the overall experience of using your iPad as a computer.
A look at some of the tech that I have been using to get through this whole quarantine isolation. Devices include a MacBook Pro, Nintendo Switch, Oculus Quest, and a Keurig Milk Frother just to name a few.
This was supposed to be a sound check on a video that I’m working on about Quarantine Tech but ended up being a video of my sharing my thoughts of the whole COVID 19 isolation quarantine situation. Very grateful to my friends, family and subscribers that make this life awesome. I miss seeing everyone and hope we can all get together soon!
Great video put together by Jonathon Morrison on the top 50 gadgets under $50 from 50 Youtubers! I’m on 5:42 of this video!
