LG sponsored us to do a couple videos Linus's empty warehouse gaming skit with their short throw projector was pretty cool except he left thousands of dollars worth of equipment behind when he left but his second idea to go with their battery powers drawer Thor projector and have a look at five handy tech items for a college dorm life had an even bigger problem Linus has never lived in a dorm so here I go let's start with item number one the bose qc25 wireless headphones one of the first things you'll notice about dorm life is the incredibly thin walls and your neighbors in every direction are probably enjoying their first taste of life out from under their mom and dad's roof eavesdropping on conversations may be fun the first few days and the rabbets next door could be interesting for a bit too I'm not judging but after a couple weeks you're probably just going to want some quiet time to yourself the noise cancellation on the QC 35 s is nothing short of amazing they're very comfortable and with ample padding for long studying sessions and they'll last the whole time - with Bose boasting 20 hours of active listening I single charge sorry for that pun this isn't the first in the QC lineup Bose has been doing this whole quiet comfort thing for a while now and it isn't likely to come to a surprise to owners of the QC 15 or QC 25 but the bottom line is QC 35 s are expensive but undeniably awesome moving on to number two the Google chromecast now I'm probably preaching to the choir here but if you had to leave the family one at home now might be a great time to pick up either the updated gen 2 model or even the brand new 4k model s Millennials love to show each other internet memes and random videos this is just a fact of life and there's no easier way to do this wirelessly than with a chromecast it's light enough to hang out of your HDMI port on your display without harming it and with just a micro USB plug required for power it's both easy to set up and easy to use it works with Android 4.1 or higher iOS a point o or higher Mac OS 10.9 or higher and Windows 7 or higher so regardless of your tech budget you're probably covered now you just need something to plug it into right which brings us to item number 3 the LG pH 450 ug an ultra short throw LED projector with an embedded battery but Luke why would you want a portable projector you're in eighth or room just plug it in okay I hear that but there's this this concept it's called leaving your dorm room now I hadn't heard of it till recently in my college years I only left my dorm room for sustenance education or to do my laundry but I do understand that certain Homo sapiens will venture outwards to gather in consumed libations and participate in other various social activities in such scenarios one may gain higher social rank within the herd by showing up with a portable projector it's even possible that such a scenario may lead to romance or what I call popularity plus with the desirable mate all right all jokes aside having a projector in your dorm would be badass and the portability afforded to you by the built-in battery could be wildly useful bring it along to a study group room that doesn't have a power plug is a much more elegant solution to sharing notes and collaboration its size makes moving it around easier than you'd expect and like it's bigger brother from our last video its ultra short throw so you can get 40 inches of screen size just 2.9 inches away from the wall and on the subject of studying your dorm life and just being in post-secondary education in general will very possibly launch the biggest boom of incoming communication that you have ever experienced managing this will be distracting feeling your phone buzz pulling it out unlocking and opening the right app typing out some super hot fire memes to impress that person you like ending up on Facebook for an hour when you're just going to look at that one damn thing which brings us to item number four the logitech k7 80 multi device keyboard can simplify this process it's a Bluetooth keyboard with low profile keys so the typing experience is somewhat similar to a laptop but that kind of thing is everywhere its main feature is its ability to hot-swap its connectivity between three devices like a computer a phone and a tablet it even has a handy rail near the top to store your phone meaning you could be sitting at your computer working with your phone propped up and plugged in with the screen Oh is on hot-swap when you get a message type out your reply and move on with your work less downtime now no one does top force five is the magic number and I was struggling to come up with another one thankfully as I was throwing this together the night before the due date I had a hankering that inspired me nongshim spicy kimchi flavored bowl noodle now you might argue this isn't a piece of tech fare but it's awesome nonetheless even one of the top helpful reviews on Amazon titled it great for hungry college students if you are what you eat I think at one point in my life I was probably 25% techie dude and 75% nongshim noodles I highly recommend them as long as you don't mind that they certainly almost contain no nutrients whatsoever and probably about two times the recommended daily intake of salt depending on how many of them you eat per day for me it might have been near eight times right now I'm not worried about that however because I'm about 95% done hosting this video so all that's left to say here is that hopefully these suggestions will help you enjoy your dorm experience or just life in general if you're past that whole dorm phase let me know what you guys think in the comments down below or at Linus tech on Twitter thanks for watching I'll see you next time if you're interested in any of these things check out Amazon in the link of the description down below or even one of these shirts but I don't think we have polos for sale so oh well see ya
