Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Reviews Leave a comment

One Minute Review Version

Like

  • Night Mode feature is excellent
  • Great video recording quality and the video image stabilization is excellent
  • Big improvement on battery life
  • Bright, easy to read screen
  • Overall a great reliable phone that checks all the important boxes
  • It’s an iPhone XS Max with a better camera 😄

Don’t Like

  • No Native RAW settings – it’s a PRO Phone! Why not?
  • Still connects at USB 2.0 in 2019
  • ProMotion 120hz display would be nice
  • Everything that’s missing will most likely be on the next gen iPhone in 2020
  • Siri is still meh
  • It’s an iPhone XS Max with a better camera 😒

Recommend?

  • Yes if coming from anything older than an iPhone XS Max
  • Yes if Night Mode and Wide Angle photos is important to you if you have the XS Max
  • No if iPhone and iOS is not your thing (duh)
  • No because you are the practical type and can get just about all the same features from the cheaper iPhone 11

What’s On My Desk Summer 2019

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Geek Life, Workspaces Leave a comment

Been awhile since I’ve done one of these. I normally have a MacBook Pro 13 2018 on my desk but I just recently got back into PC gaming and also sold my Xbox One X a few days ago. I’m still keeping the Sony PS4 Pro and Nintendo Switch for exclusives though. So here’s what’s on my desk!

  • MSI GS65 9SE – currently my main rig for work and gaming.  This thing is an absolute beast and can handle all the new games you throw at it. My Macbook Pro 13 inch is now assigned to being a travel laptop and Final Cut Pro machine.
  • HP Envy 32 – 32 inch display 2560×1440 resolution. I think I’ve had this for about 5 years
  • Sony SRSHG1 HearGo Bluetooth Speaker – Small but mighty. It can connect USB, bluetooth 3.5, Wifi, Google Cast… you name it. This thing is amazing and sounds great
  • SteelSeries Apex 7 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard – This is the best keyboard I have ever typed on. No joke. I don’t even care about the gimmicky lights!
  • Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse – I finally upgrade from an old Logitech M510 and the difference is night and day. Love how comfortable it feels to use and the horizontal scroll wheel is a game changer for working on spreadhseets. I have this at my desk and an MX Anywhere 2s in my laptop bag
  • Xbox One Controller (White) – for gaming. I sometimes use the PS4 controller for PSP emulated games
  • Sony RX100 Mark V Digital Camera – I just recently upgraded from the Sony RX100 III earlier this year and I’ve taken that across six continents. I am planning on taking this camera to 7 in a year or two. This camera is amazing to carry around on trips especially when you want to take better quality photos than your smartphone.
  • iPhone XS Max 256GB Space Gray – Trusty iPhone that goes everywhere with me. It’s a smartphone that does it’s job and does it reliably. Running the developer version of iOS13 and it paired with my Apple Watch Series 4 smartwatch
