MacBook Accessories | JUST 1 is GOOD

Do you recommend using a screen protector?

I know what this is… what is this 😂😂

The Light bar is my fav

I am not reading any more instructions too. No more API doc readings. Who do those people think they are? Making me read all that documentation!!!!!!!!

This man really hates instructions 😆

Well i certinally dont want aymore wires/cabels. Thats why i like my MacAir , minimalistic . Never could ge tthe point of a light bars. Just turn the brightness up on your screen. additional monitor? we if thats the case just take a HDMI cable and Dongal hook up to nearest tv if your despret. But that Monitor in the vid looked dreadful. But all of those items just looked like more electronic wast that will end up in your side drraw. Or just given away, mmmm Given away .. Thats an idea lols.

The USB-C power cable looked the most useful if you needed to power your laptop and the wall socket was more than 2 metres away from where you were sitting, but then I would either buy either a 5-metre USB--C to USB-C cable or power extension bank with a 3-metre cable at considerably less cost. I've never had a need for a light bar on a monitor or laptop screen, but a nice accessory for a musician trying to read sheet music on a music stand, when the venue's lights have been dimmed. There are less complicated and lighter standalone portable monitors that would do a better job, and the Expresso portable monitor even adds touch screen and stylus support to Mac OS!

I am not a cybernetic organism, but I don't think any of these would be useful to me.😉

that's so dumb and clunky

Just got my Benq thingy to unbox, it was really helpful to watch! 😍

I've never wanted a light on top of my monitor, the concept is completely alien to me. Now that I've been introduced to these products, I still don't get the idea.

I love this channel 🥰

Really having a tough time deciding between 16GB/512 and 32GB/1TB on a MBP 14”. Also wonder if the 11 or 12 core is best value.

Alex could you do a video on ARC browser?

I think that external displays for notebook are not ready. There are some cool options, but I don't see me using one of them on a daily basis.

Electro-waste..

If only BenQ figure out a way to not needing to stick something on the MacBook

I wait for the practical test of the gadgets and a benchmark 😂

be careful the first product is very heavy and risks damaging the hinge of the mac

Just use a 12.9" iPad as your second monitor it works great. Tried lots of others, and this is the best solution. And surprise when you need it it doubles as an iPad 😛

Low brightness on the monitor - not sure about this one, but some such external devices need more power (= also connect the SECOND cable that was in the box) to increase brightness ;)

Get SOTSU pro 16

No chances I attach sticky thing on my expEEEnsive macbook ;)

Hey Alex what about cover cases for Macbook I'm already using one and I'm wondering why you don't use them

For a secondary portable monitor, I recently bought the Sotsu FlipAction 16". It's expensive, but it's really well made, full aluminum with a space grey or black option. It does not attach to the laptop, which I prefer. The thing I like the best though is it comes with a stand extension that is tall enough to have the screen sit above the laptop display, which I find very comfortable. It also has good support for using in portrait mode, with or without the stand extension. Comes with a decent sleeve, so you don't have to worry about it getting scratched in your backpack and has an SD card reader built in, so you could get that functionality if you were using it with an Air. It is very expensive though.

I would like to acquire your programming knowledge hahahaha <3

I like how you do product reviews. I don’t believe it’s right to ask creators to walk away from making money. Just have integrity. Some creators just showcase the product and let us know they are reading the manufacturer’s words. It’s a product showcase. They are honest but wise enough to know not to give an opinion about its usefulness. The dishonest types sneak in a paid review on an EDC video or “best buy” on Amazon one. I hate the ones where the creators actually say they use the product, lavish it with praise and it just also happens to be a sponsor. I don’t know if I believe them. Good job.

Not sure I understand the point of the lightbar? Since MacBooks have backlit keyboards and screens? What am I missing?

I would love that external screen or the cable.

I'd attach the benq magnet to my dbrand skin, but otherwise it's a no go

I can not imagine a time where all ppl will use a single measurement system :D I suppose it should be metric system, as it's de facto standard in science.

Not sure I'd bother with the light bar for using with the MacBook alone as it has the backlit keyboard. I am considering getting one for my monitor when working at my desk though. Just not sure which, if any, are suitable to use with a 34" curved LG.
I agree the cable kit is a bit of a gimmick, and that second screen is just really badly thought out!

Alex, you are one of the very few who focuses on ML on Macs. thanks for that. This is not related to This video

if you ask me, the cable is the only useful thing
