This $200 Toothbrush Might Actually Be Worth It

Philips reached out before I left for Hawaii for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Summit event and asked if I’d be interested in trying out their suped-up Sonicare DiamondClean Smart toothbrush on my trip. I was hesitant, at first as I use a manual toothbrush and really am not sure why people really need electric ones, but I said: “Sure, why not. I wonder what a $200 toothbrush is like, anyway.” This is the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean Smart. Firstly, it doesn’t look or feel like any other toothbrush I’ve ever used. The model I have is technically the Philips Sonicare Sonicare DiamondClean Smart […]

What is Fios? (& Why You Should Absolutely Get It)

It’s sort of a joke between me and my other friends on YouTube. “You can come to my place and upload your video if you need–I have Fios”. “Yeah, my video took forever to upload, I’m so jealous of your Fios internet.” And honestly, there is a good reason why this is a thing. But for those that maybe have heard the term but are curious about what Fios is actually, I figured I’d break it down for you guys in a quick video. Full disclosure: I have had Fios in my apartment for over a year and love it,

OnePlus 6T McLaren Complete Walkthrough: The Fastest Phone You Can Buy

Well, OnePlus has now joined the ranks of a phone manufacturer partnering with a car company to produce a device. This is the OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition. McLaren if you aren’t familiar is best known for their F1 team which was started back in 1963 by Bruce McLaren. After racing in Formula 1 for a while they branched out and started actually manufacturing cars for high-end consumers with the aptly named McLaren F1 which sold for about 6 years followed by the P1 more recently. Both of these cars are still to this day some of the fastest production cars

The Best Monitor Mounts (& How to Mount Your Monitor With Them)

Looking to get multiple monitors for your desk setup? Instead of just putting them on a stand, why not get a proper monitor mount for them and make them infinitely adjustable at a moment’s notice and clear up more desk space. Now the word mount I feel has a connotation that it involves a lot of tools and is difficult to do. But, a company whose TV mounts I always recommend (and just happen to be one of the top selling on Amazon, as well) just started making computer monitor mounts so I figured I’d check them out in this

Razer Blade Stealth (2019) Complete Walkthrough: The Most Powerful Ultrabook You Can Buy

Not going to lie, I’m a little excited about this one. If you’re not familiar with Razer, they started out making gaming mice and peripherals and then ventured to laptops, eGPU housings, and even phones. Their best selling product line is probably the Razer Blade line which is there super powerful but still portable line up of gaming laptops (I use the newest Razer Blade 15 for video editing personally). Besides this, they have the Blade Pro, which is sort of their overkill on power, not so portable machine and their Blade Stealth which has been their much less powerful

Why an Electric Razor is Actually A GREAT Gift

I think, here in the States at least, there’s this stigma that electric razors just aren’t worth it, aren’t efficient, aren’t as good, etc. (I was guilty of this thought myself, actually). But after Braun sent me a Series 9 shaver and I had some time to use it, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Here are some reasons why an electric razor, like this one, is a great gift idea for a guy in your life (or, you know, for yourself). Check out the Series 9 razor on sale here (along with the other models) Efficient & Fast

OnePlus 6T Complete Walkthrough: A Worthy Successor

Well after a bit of a wait, I finally got my hands on a OnePlus 6T that OnePlus was kind enough to get to me and I have to admit, usually I think of the OnePlus T version of their device as sort of the S model of the iPhone line up–something with just a few more features but nothing excited. This time however they managed to put some exciting features in, is it enough for Oneplus 6 owners to upgrade, well let’s see in the complete walkthrough of the OnePlus 6T.

Surface Studio 2 Complete Walkthrough: Finally Has the Power It Needs

When I saw the first Surface Studio, I had a visceral reaction to it. It was unique, beautifully designed, it was something I wanted even though I had no use for it. I just wanted it in my office. I think when anyone I knew saw that first commercial for it, not a single one wasn’t intrigued, and also, because of the way the commercial was filmed–in a very different way from Microsoft’s normal ads we were used to at that point–some people even went as far as to ask if it was a new Apple product. And Microsoft, at

Razer Phone 2 Complete Walkthrough: The Best Looking Gaming Phone

Razer, the company that arguably created the gaming phone genre just came out with their sequel to the original Razer Phone, aptly named, the Razer Phone 2.

Surface Laptop 2 Complete Walkthrough: The Best Looking Laptop You Can Buy

The Microsoft Surface Laptop 2 is arguably the best looking Surface device (the Surface Studio is up there too, of course). If it had a dedicated GPU so I could edit my videos, I’d totally use it as my daily computer. Look at it. Well, regardless of the GPU, it’s still a good option for someone who wants something that’s well made, slick looking, and responsive. Microsoft was kind enough to let me borrow the new version of the laptop: the Surface Laptop 2. So I figured I’d do a complete walkthrough for you guys. If you aren’t familiar a

iPhone XR Complete Walkthrough: The Best iPhone for the Money

In a strange move, Apple launched two phones and then a third, budget-friendly phone, one a month later (although maybe not that strange after the iPhone X launch last year, I guess). And while I did my complete walkthroughs already on the iPhone XS and the XS Max, the new iPhone XR was just released today and so I figured I’d try and get a complete walkthrough done on that for you guys as well.
