hey guys this is austin and stay in here with some of the coolest tech back to school i've got to give a big shout out to the google store for sponsoring this video there's the best place to get all the googly stuff you might want including everything featured in this video to start with we have the asou scrum book flip now what makes this guy kind of interesting is the name so if you flip it upside down you get yourself flip mode not sure if that's actually the name I'm gonna go with it something that makes this even more interesting is this is what the very few Chromebooks that can actually run Android apps so once you update to the dev channel you will see that the Play Store has been added so push this to its absolute limits we have candy crush do people really play candy crush is this actually a thing um oh no I meant yet oh look at that sure it's not gonna go blow your brand-new add it on a laptop away however is totally enough for basic tasks such as web browsing which is exactly what a Chromebook does best if you want something a little bit more premium the aja Chromebook 14 is a good choice so first of all this is entirely made of metal and for a computer the cost less than three hundred dollars that's not too bad it's actually fairly thin and light for a 14 inch laptop and you can bring the hinge all the way out it's not really necessary but it's cool we're also getting a more powerful laptop so inside we have a quad-core Intel Celeron processor paired with four gigabytes of RAM considering how lightweight chrome OS is this is more than enough it also has a really nice 14 inch display not only is it 1080p which honestly is pretty much perfect for a laptop like this but it's also matte and that could come in seriously handy when you're using it outside around windows so there's a lot of glare around it makes this much more usable pretty much anywhere you are since it doesn't use a ton of power and need a fan to keep it cool the battery life it's actually really solid so it's rated for up to 12 hours which honestly should be plenty to get you through a full day of use and that's really one of the major advantages of using a Chromebook you know I do they have good battery life but they also can do pretty much anything you need to do while you're in school and on top of that they're fairly affordable that always helps next up we have the Nexus 6p this is a really underrated phone while there are tons and tons of options out there there are a lot of advantages to using a nexus not only do you have stock Android which is awesome by itself but you're also always on the cutting edge of updates so no matter what kind of tasty Android treat they cook up you're going to get it first with the 6p it's also just a really nice phone to use what is a little bit on the bigger side there are a lot of nice little touches like the buttons being slightly offset on the right side you can easily reach them with you thumb there's a fingerprint sensor around back so it's easy to hit there's just a lot of nice little touches here it's rocking a 5.7 inch 1440p OLED display the screen is awesome there's really nothing to complain about and on top of that you have dual front-facing speakers it's also rocking a 12 megapixel camera and it's actually not too bad since it's a bigger phone it's easy to be productive on you can take notes and do all the important things in life like check snapchat email Pokemon go snapchat Twitter YouTube snapchat all the basics you can also pick up a live case for your Nexus now I should really like these first of all they're completely customizable so you can print whatever you want on here I used a Google map however if you'd like you can print your own photos patterns whatever you want there's an extra button on the back of the case which is programmable so you can do a few different things with it such as opening an app or you can do something basic like turn on the flashlight another cool accessory for the Nexus is Google cardboard now that's actually worked with a lot of different phones but this is by far the cheapest way to get into virtual reality it's crazy is just how immersive Google cardboard is when you consider this is literally a couple pieces of plastic and some cardboard along with a smartphone cardboard also works if you want to watch videos by yourself which is super helpful if you're in a dorm and you want to catch up on some latest youtube uploads something else you might want to consider picking up is a chromecast so this little guy will turn pretty much any HDMI display into a smart TV the way it works is Google cast as long as you're on the same Wi-Fi as the chromecast most apps on iOS and Android will let you cast video to your TV it's dead simple there's no remote as you control everything from your phone laptop or tablet because this is so small not only will it fit an even a tight dorm setup but it's easy enough to throw in a bag or even a pocket and take with you pretty much anywhere if you guys are interested in anything I talked about in the video definitely be sure to check out the links in the description the Google store is awesome enough to support the channel so go show them some love David guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you on the next one
