Upgrade Your Laptop Setup

2019-04-30
I've been doing a lot of traveling recently and I realized that my bag is too heavy so I wanted to do something about it so in a video whose theme is thin and lightweight should have a laptop that's thin lightweight and powerful I figure that makes sense so I do want to give a thank you to LG for sponsoring this video and I'll talk a little bit about the LG gram 17 lightness obviously being the key this is a 17 inch computer that feels like the battery is not even installed in it that's not true cuz you're gonna get 19 and a half hours of battery life but you're not sacrificing anything out on display front it's 2560 by 1600 images look great the aspect ratio is 16 by 10 so if you edit photo that's perfect for that this has all the ports I think that anybody could really need right now it's even got a full size HDMI port it's got USB type-c got a headphone jack and USB a ports all built in so not to worry about carrying extra stuff with you keyboard super comfortable it's got an integrated fingerprint reader into the power button so you make sure things are secure with Windows hello support it also spec it up really well ours has an i7 16 gigs of ram a 500 gigabyte SSD so you're not sacrificing any sort of power for the portability you want something that gives you a really nice sized screen that's lightweight with pretty killer battery life and all the ports you can need the LG gram is going to be an awesome way to go throw out and check it out link to it down below so I'm trying to lighten the load for everything that I'm carrying abusing a name case bag for years cuz it just held everything and it did an awesome job when I emptied it I really so heavy the bag itself actually was so I wanted to fix that I went with the air daypack figure the coke it's called air it had to be light it feels really durable which was important for all of traveling and I'm doing it's got a kind of a coated exterior so if you live a place where it rains or there's a lot of moisture in the air your stuff will be protected and also it's harder than you might think to find a bag that can hold a 17 inch laptop and the air daypack does it nice and easily and because a gram so light you didn't even know it's in there it holds everything that I need and most importantly crazy crazy lightweight so when all these flights I've been taking I've been watching a lot of video I've been a loyal follower and fan of bows for years the QC 35 s were always my jam and always what I use when I traveled and when I was at home but there's still microUSB and I kind of wanted to limit the amount of cables I was bringing so I wanted something that used USB type-c I know everybody's super excited about the Saudi headphones I really like the aesthetic of Microsoft Surface headphones so that's what I've been using they do a couple things really well first I think they look awesome the sound quality has been really good noise cancelling when I'm on an airplane I don't hear anything else around me I like that I can control the amount ice canceling to just by turning the ear cup and the turn the other ear cup to control the volume they don't pack down as small as something like the Bose did but they're not heavy so they might take up a deist about a room in the bag but they're not adding a cific and amount of weight to what I've been used to another cool thing that they do instead of just telling you how much battery percentage you have left it'll actually tell you how many hours of listening you have left so you can turn them on it'll say you've got 15 hours of battery life remaining that's been nice when I'm on a flight I don't know what 50% necessarily means that that's gonna get me five hours or six hours the service headphones are 350 bucks which is definitely expensive but is price comparable so to the other high-end noise canceling wireless headphones so if you're in the market for headphones you want that premium look but also you want sort of noise-canceling you can control so if you're sad films are a really good way to go so as I was going through and sort of packing my travel bag I realized probably like you I packed a lot of electronics and things that need power and I don't always have outlets with me wherever I'm going and that's where this comes into play it's the charge check portable power outlet that has 40,000 milliamp hours of power it's got a full like AC Jacky just plug normal things into it's not the smallest thing in the world but it's got ports for everything I can pretty much charge everything in my bag at once with this so if you're traveling internationally and you're worried about maybe some adapters or if I'm just sitting at you know my kids soccer practice I'm trying to do work at the same time so it's 329 bucks and this is something that would bring do you wanna be able to charge everything with you and maybe you don't have access to power outlets it has been an incredible thing to have and 40,000 milliamps they can just charge everything swallow stuff has been awesome for travel it's light and portable when I get back I still need to use the same setup I like to have an external mouse I've been using some version of the MX master for years recently I'm transitioning over to the MX master vertical it feels weird to like almost shake hands with your mouse and kind of relearn how to use it but I've had some carpal tunnel syndrome issues for a while I even tried mice that have kind of roll balls to get around it and the vertical mouse does a nice job of sort of giving me the functionality of like a normal MX master mouse but also making sure my wrist isn't going to hurt and also battery life has been awesome on it and keeping with the theme of USB see everything you can charge this via USB see it's 100 bucks so it's not the most expensive in the world I've absolutely loved using the MX vertical mouse so the LG gram obviously has a keyboard built-in but when I'm at home I like to have an external keyboard it gives me more functionality and my go-to for a while has been the Logitech Kraft so it's sturdy it offers a lot of functionality to if she's got all the keys for both Mac and PC it's got that dial up top which I've used just for volume but also you can customize what it does so I've got it set to turn to adjust volume press it take screenshots it can adjust what it does depending on different apps you're using you can pair with different devices everything I've needed a keyboard to do the craft has done for me the key throw feels good it offers flexibility depending on what OS I'm using at the time and also I really like being up quick access controls to volume the craft has been awesome surprising kind of ranges I've seen it go as low as a hundred eighty bucks depending on when you buy bowling too it also down below so because the grams got that huge 17 inch screen I decided to not opt for an external monitor but I did want to raise it up so it was more at eye level so stands you can pick I want the one that was going to look awesome so we went with the stand from Johan it's 160 180 bucks depending on what color wood is I could go with but it looks incredible it makes a laptop look like it's floating it can do double duty also as a stand for your tablet but it'll raise up the screen and honestly they'll just look good doing it I've always wanted power in my set up but more and more recently as I've traveled portability has been key so a bunch of products here some are good to take with you all the time some for very specific situations and some that are best left at home hopefully there's something in this video it's gonna help make your travel easier make your bag lighter and make you ultimately more productive
