Best Mesh WiFi 6 Routers for Every Scenario

Haven’t done one of these in a while so let’s do a best mesh wifi 6 routers video. Now, I already did a best mesh routers video and a best wifi 6 routers video, but now that both technologies have matured enough there are a ton of routers that have the benefits of Wifi 6 like faster speeds, better handling of networks with a larger number of connected devices, better encryption, etc. (and you can check out my full Decodr episode on what wifi 6 is here if you want a deeper dive) and combined with the modularity and better […]

Best External SSDs in 2020

I started using filming a few things on a new camera not too long ago: the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K. And as the name suggests, it can shoot in 6K (and in RAW format) all of that to say though that the files I’m working with because of it, are not small ones. So, while I do have my Samsung T5 that I am a big fan of, the new camera did get me to start researching to see what newer external SSDs might now be available in 2020 that might be a good replacement. I then proceeded to

The Best Wifi 6 Routers For Every Scenario

Best Portable AC Outlet You Can Buy

Batteries suck. It’s just a fact of life at the moment. And because of that fact, portable battery packs have become a very popular way of making sure your electronics are topped up whenever you need. And they’re great. They’re only hindered by the fact that they’re generally pretty limited in capacity and whatever you are trying to charge, needs to be able to be charged by USB for the most part. But what if one of these had a full-blown AC outlet on it, heck, what if it had two? This is the ChargeTech PLUG portable AC outlet battery

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

Best Antivirus Software in 2018?

Someone recently asked me about the best antivirus software in 2018, and honestly, I wasn’t quite sure which one to recommend–there are a lot of them out there. Turns out though, there is one that seems to be at the top of each list according to a ton of sources. So I decided, I’d check it out myself and run some tests and see how it does. From PCMag to TechAdvisor, to TechRadar, there seems to be one antivirus program that is mentioned at the top of every list of the best antivirus software: Bitdefender. Looking into it, it even

This Printer Comes With All the Ink You’ll Need for the Next Year

Brother reached out about a new type of printer they’ve launched that I think addresses a severe pain point that everyone has with printers: the ink. This is the Brother MFC-J995DW (printer companies still aren’t great at naming their products, fair). It has all the standard multi-function printer features you’d expect nowadays in a top-of-the-line printer: multi-page copying and scanning with a 20-sheet automatic document feeder, automatic duplex two-sided printing in color and black & white, 150 sheet paper tray that’ll hold up to legal sized paper, WiFi & cloud printing services enabled (AirPrint, Google Cloud Print 2.0, etc.), etc. All

The Best Bluetooth Mechanical Keyboard You Can Buy (Video)

When looking for a Bluetooth keyboard we usually look for something that has a good sized layout and maybe has solid, clicky mechanical keys, right? With just that as criteria there are a lot of keyboards to choose from, really. But what if you add a uniqueness and badass retro look. Well then, you end up with the QwerkyWriter. https://youtu.be/MyTNOkRjnuE The clearly typewriter inspired keyboard isn’t as old fashioned as it looks. It connects via Bluetooth to pretty much any device: Macs, iPads, iPhones, Android devices, Windows computers and tablets, in fact, the only thing it won’t work with is an

Best All-in-One PC for the Money (Video)

First, let’s quickly talk about why you’d want an All-in-One in the first place. The biggest reason is the screen size for the money. Most all-in-ones come with 23″ or higher (and sometimes much higher like the 34″ curved model from HP). A smaller sized screen laptop or desktop computer plus a separate monitor of that size would cost a decent amount more than an all-in-one usually. Besides that, newer ones save a lot of space and are even starting to look pretty darn sleek, too. So if you tend to sit in one place to use the computer (or

It’s a good time to be a video creator. There are amazing cameras and phones that all shoot 4K and are a lot more affordable than ever before allowing us to produce much higher quality content without the need for a crazy feature film budgets.

The thing is, there are a lot out there and they are definitely not created equally. B&H was kind enough to

Best Editing Laptop? Macbook Pro vs Surface Book vs Razer Blade (Video)

When the new Macbook Pro was released, there was a lot of humming and hawing from the creative professional community. Essentially, everyone was a little disappointed in the power the new Macbook Pro was given. One of the more popular theories of Apple aiming for the mainstream instead of the niche of creatives that helped set them apart years before was given more fuel to burn. And, when you think about it, Apple’s most popular products of all time, the iPod and iPhone, were not aimed at professionals, but at the mass market of your average person. So why not
