Ultimate Back To School Tech Guide! With Unbox Therapy

What's up guys, Lou here, and as you can tell the space is a little cramped right now -- thats because I have teamed up with Best Buy to put together the ultimate back to school gadget guide These are my picks. And I've got a reason for every single one. So, stick around and let's get into it. This is from the RL series, Ben Q. Now, I chose this one for a couple of reasons. Its an incredible gaming monitor. It has some of the best input lag. Or lack of input lag. Of any monitor on the market. That means, when you have an input on your controller, some kind of instruction, a button press etc. It's going to happen on screen incredibly quickly. That's different than response time, but when it comes to response time, this thing is quick as well - 1 millisecond, to be more specific. So its a 27 inch display Its got dual HDMIs, so a couple of different sources. Another cool feature, witch is this little hook on the side and this is used to house your headphones. so you always know where they are, and they're up off the desk, and out of your way. Now on the back. you also have, a headphone out and a line in. It sort of acts like a mini reciever, if you will. It's also got a DVI port, and a traditional VGA port. So there are some options for interfacing with some other stuff. I almost forgot to mention is this little ridge here This might just look like a design feature But, check this out.. There's actually some rubber up here.. and That's gonna be the perfect spot To house Your controlers A really, well thought out little feature Your always looking for a place to put these BenQ RL series My monitor choice for the ultimate dorm room Next up We have a mouse This is my favorite right here The MX Master from Logitech Incredibly comfortable These are sort of leaders in the space When it comes to precision mousing I said precision "mousing" Plus this can use bluetooth or a receiver It'll work on Mac or PC, and, It can be paired to multiple devices at once. This thumbwheel on the side For horizontal scrolling You've also got this really unique free-spinning wheel In your tradition scroll wheel section here Very satisfying clicks This is just a fantastic package Up to 40 days of battery life If you want the best in the business It is probably the MX Master from Logitech So this gets my vote for the mouse choice In this ultimate back to school gadget guide What do we have next AJ? It's an external hard drive I know.. not the most exciting thing in the world, but... Your gonna be doing alot of work and It's not any good to you if you lose it all So this is a place to back it up It's also a place for all your multimedia You know I'm always thinking about the entertainment side as well This is a one 1 terabyte, thunderbolt bus powered drive In this case that means up to 110mbps transfers It's a little bit rugged as well, so if you do drop it, bump it, it has a little bit of extra protection Lastly, the cable is built right in... it sort of just slides around the outside and there's a little - is it a flap? It's a cover, that keeps it contained. Say you happen to your friends... dorm room and they don't have computer but you still want to sharefiles this still has USB on it USB 3.1 to be specific so no matter whatcomputer you're interfacing with recovered so I talked a little bit earlier aboutentertainment and I think it's important for your dorm room lifestyle yourback-to-school lifestyle it really all starts right here this is a playstation4 i'm sure you've seen one before combo kit comes with the new batmanarkham knight heard fantastic things about this game this was a very toughdecision going with the playstation 4 over thexbox one obviously they're very passionate people on either side of theconsole spectrum there are many cross platform games available and i think themost important thing to consider when deciding on the console you want to takewith you off to your college just consider which one of your friendson which one are they gaining on and then that's probably the best one foryou in my case its PlayStation headphones very important have a very intimaterelationship with my headphones this is the new version of a pair ofSony's that i've been using for a year now maybe over a year the MDR ZX 770 BTWthis is their latest in wireless bluetooth headphones now the reason I'vechosen these is because they're versatile they can be used with a wireor without they also don't feature active noise cancellation I've never been a huge fan of activenoise cancellation requires more battery life gives you that odd sense of ofcompression on your years at least for some people know this is this issubjective they make an active noise-cancelling version it's got a microphone in it too so whenyou pair this with your cell phone you can go ahead and answer phone calls nowthis is going to work with your PlayStation as well as your laptop withor without cables and as you can see here even has NFC that's one of myfavorite features it means that when you want to pair witha new device say your phone for example i hope it features NFC simply tap thetwo were then paired and you're listening to your favorite podcast orwhatever it is that you do with headphones these are capable of up to 17hours battery life and in my testing they get very close to that so as youimagine you're not charging them that often and you pretty much always havejuice when you need it seventeen hours to go to Tokyo can i getto Tokyo 17 hours tokyo baby you're probably going to needa backpack to carry all this stuff around this one is from a company called thewall I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly there are sweet in this onesort of checks all the boxes for things should be looking for and includesomething that's a little bit unusual this safe zone up here which is like ahard portion for storing something like sunglasses or important electronics & gadgets as you can seehere to put sunglasses back here you put your phone up top it's also water resistant so if it rainsshould be ok on the inside of this little pocket here you can feel there'slike a coating plastic coating so that water hopefullywhen penetrate and zippers themselves very satisfying you have a big compartment in the backor a laptop as well as an ipad and this front compartment here someorganizational stuff for pens various school-related stationary and thenthere's a really big main compartment as well you'll likely be using for text books unfortunately sound very important I'm a big fan of sound and this is goingto improve it compared to save the speakers on yourphone or your laptop it's the JBL pulse and what's special about it compared toother bluetooth speakers is that it lights up your college and you might doa little bit of partying and when you show up with this thing people are goingto know i'm going to see the the lights moving along like an equalizer they're going to know that you meanbusiness party business now often people think that a bluetooth speaker will onlywork with bluetooth but many of them like this one actually have an auxiliaryinput as well meaning you could connect this to the stationery set up that Iproposed earlier with the bank you monitor and even the laptop andplaystation and everything connected you can take auxiliary out from the monitorand that will essentially take both of your hdmi inputs from your computer aswell as your Playstation and send that audio through to this speaker which isgoing to be better than either of those things independently that said this works incredibly well asa bluetooth speaker also somebody comes over to visit you and your setup theymight be visiting your set up first and then you the 15 they can connect to be abluetooth on their smartphone and stream music that way so it's a versatilesolution without the need for a lot of outboard gear something that's easy totravel now this one is not something that youabsolutely need this is just something that I'm really into in a very intenseway this is the new rx100 from Sony pretty much the best pocket camera evermade the perfect companion to a wonderful college experience this thing has an incredible lends anincredible sensor and now shoots 4k video and high frame rate video for slowmotion stuff with the giant aperture on the lens you're going to have a much easier timetaking pictures in low light which is probably what you'll be dealing with atthose parties i'm talking about the new rx100 mark or from another camera this is a different kind of camera meantto actually stay in your space it's the new camera from nest which has anincredibly wide field of view this is going to help you to protect all thisstuff I'm talking about very important comes with a slick application forchecking in on your space right you know seeing if anything unusualgoing on you can also set up alerts so you're the first to know anything fishygoin down why have all this cool stuff if you'renot even going to protect it cables a necessary evil but believe itor not something that I'm incredibly excited about I like innovations in thecable space in a few of these here are representations of that one of myfavorite manufacturers happens to be tilt for that very reason you can see this flip duo here is notonly both a micro USB and lightning cable but it also now has a reversibleUSB connector so you can't plug it in the wrong way that is a win my friendsalso from tilt this flat short cable which believe it or not is incrediblyconvenient it will never be tangled when you're looking for it and when you don'tmove that extra cabling this is a way to stayorganized we've also got this battery pack one ofmy favorites again it's very slim and it has built-in cables so built inlightning as well as micro USB his fits in your back pocket incredibly slender one of my favoritescouple of extra hdmi and audio cables can't go wrong with those and then mynew favorite accessory this surge protector from belkin which featuresrotating this rotating outlets so no matter
