  • 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!

  • Thumbs if you liked it, subs if you loved it. I'll see you guys next time.

Hey, how's it going Dave 2D here.
