Hey, how's it going Dave 2D here.
So if this video looks, and sounds, and feels, a little bit different it's because
there's something special going on if you're interested follow my Twitter in a couple days, you'll find out why, but behind me
is the computer setup that I use most of in 2018
so I'm gonna start with the hardware and then kinda go into the details of it.
the laptop that I use the most this year was actually the razorblade 15
so this is a device that has a 144 hertz screen
great for gaming, which I did way too much of this year, great for video editing
And the thing is I had access to a lot of other laptops
But I actually went with this one the most because of the design of it
I just like the way that it looked, like the way that it felt and when it came in mercury silver or mercury white
I forgot what they called it. It's just no-brainer, this was the laptop that I went with
the keyboard that I use the most this year is actually the DREVO Calibur keyboard
It's a wireless keyboard, and it's got RGB lights and stuff like that if you want to play with it
But I did a video earlier this year called the perfect keyboard,
and it actually featured a different keyboard a CTRL keyboard
But that thing was wired. I really like the wireless experience
So I just went with the DREVO Calibur more often than not this year
and a great keyboard, highly recommended it
for this particular set of video
I was considering changing these keys out to a white key, but it actually looked better with the gray keys
These are actually the keys from that CTRL keyboard
The original keys on this keyboard were white
But it just looks better to have it grey and just makes the whole setup look a little bit tighter
The mouse is the MX Master 2S from Logitech.
It's a wireless mouse comes in a whole bunch of different colors
The white one looks particularly good with my setup
But the thing that I like the most about it is the fact that you can connect to multiple devices with it
So if you switch computers, you switch to like a laptop, desktop
You can switch
between those computers just with the press of a button
and it's just a great wireless mouse that has a super long battery life
the monitor is the 38UC99 from LG
It's a widescreen monitor not super color accurate, color accurate enough
But I like the width of it and I think the thing I liked the most about this monitor is just how clean it looks
A lot of monitors that are big just have like a black base and stuff
This is silver, white, looks clean
Now when it comes to smart phones the phone that I use the most this year is actually the iPhone 10 from 2017
But the phone that I liked the most was actually the Pixel 3
So that's why it's sitting in the scene. The Pixel 3 is probably the best camera in my opinion
I feel like it just shoots the nicest
Clean images and because I take photos of my kid that runs around a lot and stuff
I just wanted a fast camera that had really good auto images
sitting on some blue books. These are from poppin
I'll link them down below if you're interested in them. There's a lamp in the background
So this lamp was made by Xiaomi
It normally has a red power cord, but I spent some time to kind of put nail polish on
I don't think it looks great. But I just can't stand red
I felt like if it was gonna go on the scene
It had to be blue and this does only I'd want to do for a while
I finally did it earlier today to make it match the whole setup. Now in the drawers, there are some headphones
These are the B&O H8, I believe, I could be wrong a link properly below
and there's a blue Drive here. So this is from angel bird
It's an SSD super fast super small and I think it looks good. That's why I went with it
There's a white power bank from Anker just clean looking white power bank
Anker if you ever watch this, I would love to see this color in USB C
there's also a knife in here and the only reason why I have this knife is because it looks
super cool to me. White and blue or kind of silver and blue just really matches my whole color setup
There's another Mouse in here
So this is the Logitech G703 and it's a gaming mouse and I switch over to this mouse when I'm playing games
But the battery life on this thing is really short so I don't use it for regular desktop use, but if you're interested
this is probably the best gaming mouse that is on the market right now, in my opinion
now in the other drawer we have the 11 inch iPad pro
and this is my favorite Apple device from 2018. It just looks super cool
And that's the thing. When you look at devices and they just are really nice looking
It's inviting to use right you just makes you want to use a device more
so I feel like Apple nailed the design element this year and it just makes people want to use this thing because truthfully if you
Think about like the hardware in it
It's better obviously significantly better from the previous generation
But it's not like it makes it suddenly more useful
But because of how nice it feels in your hand and how much you want to use a device. That looks so good
It just makes people want to use them more
So that's probably why I've kept on to it
but that's basically it. This whole setup is kind of like a snapshot of the devices that I use the most of over 2018 and
Yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed this video!
