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


 

Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Bluetooth Mouse Quick Review

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

I’ve been using the Logitech 510 for over 3 years. Although it was a great mouse simple mouse, it was time to retire it. Also, my hands are not as young as they used to be so I needed a more mouse that was more ergonomic. as I was getting a lot of fatigue in working on the desktop several hours a day.

I was actually on the fence for on the MX Master 2S for the longest time but was put off by the price and was actually content with the m510. However this came on sale and I snatched it up and wow… it was night and day difference in my productivity work flow. Also, like the MX Anywhere, you can pair this up to 3 devices which is perfect as I have a PC for gaming, a Mac for video editing and travel, and I have a work laptop. Pairing and switching in between devices is so easy to do. No more unplugging receivers or dongles.

The mouse is shaped perfectly for my hands and is very responsive not only in productivity software such as Office, but it’s great for gaming as well. I’m quite happy in using this to play a few hours of Overwatch and Apex Legends daily. Also I want to note that the side scrolling wheel is a blessing especially for huge spreadsheets such as Excel.

On top of all that, there are no batteries to mess with, this thing is rechargeable and it can last up to two months.

If you are looking for looking for the perfect mouse, this is it right here!

Logitech 920 Webcam Video Test Review

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Reviews 1 Comment

Just purchased the Logitech 920 to replace my old Logitech 270 webcam. The new 920 features 1080HD video recording capabilities with auto focus, stereo microphones and 12MP photo capturing. Video was created using the 920 as well as the 270 for video and audio comparisons. Unboxing was recorded with the Sony RX100m3. Thanks!

Overall – excellent video quality and the autofocus is a very welcome feature. Audio recording on the other hand, was not as good as I expected. Still a great camera and a decent upgrade from my 270.

You can get it here on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1UMgTqW

THISISMYWORKSPACE.COM Domain Acquired!

Workspace 2-17-2013

I’ve been so busy as of late and haven’t had time to do any reviews or simple posts. Just recently, we (I) acquired THISISMYWORKSPACE.COM which is a domain name that I thought of when walking home after having a couple of Cajun Fish Tacos over at Wahoo’s. For years, The Geeks Office really never had any direction so it was really hard to figure out what I was going to do with this domain. For now I am going to keep things as they are but focus more on the workspaces. I enjoy looking at how people’s have theirs setup whether it be at work, at home, or even on the floor. It doesn’t really matter. I also just setup a Flickr group called This is My Workspace where you can go ahead and feel free to post your workspace and I will feature it on the site.

The Geeks Desk 12/02/2012

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Geek Life, Workspaces 1 Comment

Been quite busy as of late and haven’t been able to post as much. Best place to follow me would be on Instagram by following @louievtran or on Twitter @thegeeksoffice

I’ve been doing quite a bit of reviews in the past month going from the iPad Mini, iPad 4, and just recently reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Note II. One of the reasons why I love freelance writing is because I can write and review what I want but Q4 of this year has been hectic with a lot of new gadgets coming out.

Anyway, my recent desk setup is a bit different this time since I replaced the Apple Thunderbolt Display with a 27-inch iMac. My workspace has been a mess as of late and I need to get a new desk soon!

The Geek’s Desk – 8/30/2012

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Geek Life, Workspaces 4 Comments

Had a lot of changes to my desk since I did this feature. I mostly work on my iPad or my MacBook Air when I’m on the road but this is where I spend the majority of the time when I’m at home. Here’s what’s on my desk!  Continue reading→

The Geek’s Top Gadgets of Summer 2012

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Reviews, Workspaces 1 Comment

This has been one crazy year as I have been changing my gadgets like how women change their shoes and purses! I would say that in the past 6 months, almost all of my gadgets have been refreshed and a lot of it has to do with the way I work. I used to work at home and in the office more often but now I’m out in the field quite a bit so I need a lot of power (I’m talking both batteries and system performance) on the go these days. 2011 wasn’t really an impressive year, but 2012 has been a great leap for mobile tech for both work and play. This is what I have been working with recently… Continue reading→

Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover Review

Posted on by Posted in Daily News, Gadgets, Reviews 2 Comments

I used to think that having a keyboard on a tablet defeats the purpose of having a tablet, especially the iPad. iOS on the iPad is swipe and touch centric and onscreen keyboard is surprisingly good for text and data entry. The iPad supports Bluetooth keyboards but carrying around the Apple Keyboard adds a lot of weight and space and most third party keyboard/case combinations are very cumbersome and unresponsive. That is until Logitech released their Ultrathin Keyboard for the new iPad. Continue reading→

Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover for New iPad

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

Just picked up one of these earlier today and will post a review within the next few days, possibly tomorrow or even tonight if time permits! I was a bit skeptical on the practicality of having a keyboard for the iPad but so far I’ve been very impressed. Keys are very responsive, the unit itself is very light and thin, and it places the iPad in an ergonomic typing and viewing angle. Surprisingly, it’s much easier to type with the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard than it is with the MacBook Air keyboard!
