My kindle. I love that I can pop my phone away and just read, I have the app on my phone but being able to disconnect from “tech” is so important sometimes. I love a standard book but being able to have 1000’s of options to read on the go is just so convenient.

My most productive and fun tech piece I got in 2023 is my iPad mini, it's so good. I use it for uni, personal life, travel and gaming. I read a lot, and it's such a good size that is similar to a Kindle, but has way more versatility, which makes it an especially perfect companion while traveling, where I try to limit the things I bring and this iPad can fulfill many roles.

Your videos just get better and better. Love your stuff. Really appreciate you starting off with some things you just couldn’t get behind. The honesty is refreshing. Looking forward to more of your content in 2024!

My most productive tech this year has been my iPad Pro 12.9 with m1. Talk about filling the gaps, this device is like a bridge that keeps me working and learning when I am not at my desk. Happy New Year!

Man the AirPods Pro 2 are insane.

I bought some this year because I had saved some money at Apple. I’ve never used a pair of headphones/ earbuds as much as these. They sound great, have amazing features and the noise cancellation is silly good.

I bring them everywhere I go

I’m currently living up in the Sacred Valley, Peru. I run my small business from my iPad Pro. Switching from laptops is one of the best recent decisions I’ve made. Being able to go paragliding in the mountains, come back and edit footage with FCP for iPad is pure heaven for me. My Airpods Max and Steam Deck are my other favourites.

Just found your video's today and thought I'd say fair play! Love your chilled delivery style and honesty. Subscribed and wish you every success in 2024!

I’ve been contemplating the Peak Design bag for years but just never went for it.. your comments are exactly what’s kept me back!

[infemuss]

Something to try If you haven’t, all the retro games on the miyoo can be put on the steam deck plus more. It can also play switch games and you can remote play your ps5.

First time in the channel. Great video, gave me good examples and interperations about the products and inspired me about how I can improve my work, workspace and living places.

My one regret of the year is buying the iPhone 14 just before the 15 came out at the same price. I say "just" but it was long enough to be out of the return period. My base 14 is an excellent phone but I'll always have this nagging feeling that I missed something. My best purchase of the year was a refurbished M1 Pro MacBook Pro 14 (16GB/1TB). I absolutely love that thing.

[Manuel-rlum]

Great video!

My best purchases have been the Xbox Series S in February for 249€ + GamePass. After many years not gaming much if at all, the XSS has gotten me back to gaming and I love this little beauty.

I also love my MBA15, which is my second Apple product and love this thing, top notch quality.

And I'm also loving my Pixel Watch 2 in combination with my trusted Pixel 6a.

ipad Air M1 is definitely my most productive tech being a Med student I use it for taking notes, reading pdfs and even for entertainment.
Airpods pro with ANC is also great

[Antody]

I've got same experience with the Sony headphones, bang on about the sound quality.

The peak design bag inside is adjustable! Just pull the tabs out and put them back the way you want to with the velcro.

Hey man, great content. Don’t know if this is the place for it but I have a request for you:

I’ve seen some of your videos and I really like your approach to storytelling + visuals/design.

I’d love a video about how you approach this things, creativity, or just your content in general. What elements or visual aspects you consider before, what you make on the go, what you love for post production.

Anyways, I understand you’re probably with a full schedule to be doing videos by request but I think many of us would love to know more about your thoughts on content in general, and your content in particular.

Thanks for the work, you seem like a great guy

Interesting about the XM4s. I recently picked some up, and the noise cancellation is really something. I managed to get them sounding pretty good after a bit of tweaking. The sound out of the box sounds too muddy.

For me, the sound is good when commuting. I find myself enjoying them when in a noisy environment, and wanting to use something else (Audio Technica) when in a quiet place.

[janscott]

Must say that as much as the AirPods Pro v2 are superb, I got some Bose QC Ultra buds and I love them. Their noise cancelling is great but I use them when out walking and the aware mode is very good indeed, And I find them just a little bit more comfortable than the AirPods. Still use the AirPods when not out and about but for me (listening mainly to podcasts and talking books) the Bose edge it and I'm very happy with that purchase.

I did some upgrades too this year:
I kept my iPad Air 4 with the Apple Pencil 2nd Generation, however;
I switched my old trusty Poco F1 for the iPhone 15
AirPods Pro 1st Gen to AirPods Pro 2nd Gen
Mi Band 5 to the Apple Watch Series 9 45mm (what an upgrade)
Canon EOS4000D to the Canon EOS6D
Kept my Sony XM4 as with some tweaking I got them sounding just as I wanted them (though sound is subjective)
I think that’s it, to be honest. I rarely change my tech, but this time exceptions had to be made XD.

[willgyackov]

The Xm4s are literally the best headphones I’ve ever heard. Idk maybe its a preference thing but the bass is so much better on Sony headphones
