The New Daily Pack #Helpful Post

hey guys this is Austin I am always in

search of my perfect text setup which of

course doesn't actually exist but what

do I do more is share with you guys the

kind of text I'm using on a regular

basis so let me share the very first

iteration of Austin's tech goodies

featuring the LG gram starting out with

we have my laptop of choice right now

which is the 2019 LG grim if you guys

been watching the channel for a while

you know that I've done quite a few

videos on the Graham over the last few

years of course huge shad to LG for

sponsoring this video the Graham and its

various iterations have been in my

laptop rotation for a couple years now

ever since I first checked it out and

the reason is very simple this is a very

lightweight laptop that covers all the

basics it importantly has killer battery

life now I briefly checked out the 2019

LG Graham at CES where they have not

only a brand new 17 inch model but

importantly for me they also have a 40

inch model with a full 201 design what's

nice about this is if there is no

penalty for using that two-in-one design

if you want to flip it around and use it

like a tablet by all means go ahead the

Graham is light enough and even does

come with an included Wacom stylus but

the important part for me is if I want

to use it as a laptop is just as good as

every other gram before it and of course

because this is a Windows laptop it's

basically second nature for me at this

point to want to touch the screen and

that is definitely something this model

will let me do there is a lot more to

like with the Graham though if we open

it up you'll see it's powered by the

latest eighth generation Core i7

processor it's backed up by not only

dual channel memory one of which you can

actually easily get access to if you

ever want to upgrade it but speaking of

upgrades you also have a second m2 SSD

slot this is not something you find on

most laptops these days as the upgrade

options are well basically non-existent

so if you want to add more storage it's

a very nice touch speaking of very nice

touches we have a massive 72 watt hour

battery with the cram now this for

context is bigger than what you're going

to find on most gaming laptops which are

obviously way way more power hungry with

this huge cell I'm easily able to get

around 10 hours or so on a charge and

that's like max brightness and high

performance mode this is absolutely an

endurance champ one of my favorite

features of the LG Graham if you don't

mind turning things down a bit

LG quotes the grab at a full 19 hours of

battery for later use then there's the

other stuff so not only does it have a

great keyboard as well as touchpad but

you also have a 1080p

bleh which looks nice the only real

downside here is well it does have USBC

this model does not come with

thunderbolt I'd love to see a model with

not only USBC but also a secondary

Thunderbolt port on the side but the

thing is the Graham really kind of

serves most functions it's not the most

powerful system in the entire world like

gaming PC but for what I need it for

basic stuff like web browsing writing

videos watching videos listen to music

that kind of stuff the Graham absolutely

deserves a spot in my bag speaking of

that bag right now I'm trying the Burton

tender pack this is actually something

that Ken found what it is it's actually

a surprisingly robust bag it doesn't

have a ton of features and a ton of

extra pouches and on top of that I also

keep a pair of final E for thousands

have you guys watched mr. e Tech you

know this is actually one of Ken's picks

what like six months ago or something

and I've absolutely been loving them

ever since so on top of the headphones

themselves I also have to keep the good

old dongles around because I never know

what I need to plug these into it's not

I do I have a USB C headphone jack

adapter but I also keep my lightning

adapter so no matter what device I'm

testing I can always use the finals to

listen to this music especially if I'm

on a plane and because Mike Hurley is a

terrible influence I also have a tornado

retro 1951 now I am by no means a pen

addict but I've got to say I'm starting

to get into it a little bit and this is

one of the nicest pens I've ever owned

get a little bit deeper in the bag and

we have the first of a couple of little

kits that we've prepared so first of all

is the photography kit now this is

something that can originally design for

as many trips to Japan but I've kind of

expanded on it with my personal Sony

rx100 mark 5 you watch the channel for a

while you know all about this camera but

essentially this is my favorite pocket

camera that you can buy right now yes

this is the mark 5 not the mark 6 I

prefer this one mostly because the lens

is a lot brighter and it's got that ND

filter now on top of that we have a

series of moment lenses which are

specifically meant fine take a little

bit deeper in here for what's in this

bag with this moment case I can add one

of the lenses such as the telephoto

which is actually really really quite

good and I can use this as my photo

taking machine so for example a couple

weeks ago I went to the Detroit Auto

Show and this is what I use to take all

of my photos with between the telephoto

and the super wide as well as the

standard lens so you may have noticed

this giant pile of cables now I'm not

going to go through all of them but I

try to keep cables for pretty much

anything now I would regularly run into

you say USBC lightning micro-usb pretty

much all of that a couple of exceptions

I do have a USBC Ethernet dongle which

is helpful and this is the dragonfly now

this is the what does it call the

dragonfly the dragonfly red matzoh oh I

see right that's right this is a really

nice USB DAC an amp which is used to

drive high output headphones as well as

to play some high res audio I don't

always use this again this is one of

those things that Ken's like hey give it

a try but honestly it makes a big

difference and even with the finally for

thousands that I use it does sound way

way better you know issue is it is USB a

so you use it on say the pixel you have

to use an adapter with something like

the gram I can plug it right in and be

good to go of course you got to have

your Chargers so first of all I'm using

the anchor Power Core 2 this has not

only a USB a port but it also has a USB

C which is powerful enough to charge

something like the gram or any number of

phones and on top of that we also do

have one of my favorite charges right

now the anchor power core fusion this

guy has a pair of USB a port so you can

charge your phone and your watch at the

same time but importantly it also has a

five thousand milliamp hour battery

inside so what I need to do is plug it

in and not only will it charge the

battery inside the charger but also will

charge your phone stuff at the same time

this is absolutely a lifesaver in this

pouch I keep a couple of other

accessories so you got to have your USB

C dongle and this one from Satechi has

been my favorite so far so not only does

it have Ethernet as well as USB a but

you also have micro SD full-size SD you

even have HDMI and mini DisplayPort this

guy is absolutely killer and on top of

that I had the little Logitech MX

anywhere 2 s now they don't always use a

mouse with my PC but sometimes it's nice

especially from sitting down for like a

long session of like email or something

which sounds really lame and boring a

long email session but uh yeah this is

helpful for my long email sessions

because I'm apparently an old business

man next up we have the good old

fashioned Nintendo switch now I'll admit

actually don't always keep this on me

but are usually when I'm traveling

trying to get a little bit of switch

time in so this case itself is really

basic it's just an amazon basics case

what I really like about my switch are

the custom joy cons only made as part of

building the ultimate Nintendo switch

these I think looks so cool I mean yeah

we have a couple other joy cons I keep

at the house but these are the ones that

are pretty much always on the switch now

as far as games go I actually try to buy

most of my games physical which is

pretty much the only actual platform I

do that with but it's nice to have

everything I want right here and ready

to go now to keep everything topped off

we have the big guy the anchor power

core 2680 now this guy has not a pair of

USB eight ports but importantly it also

has USB C with enough power to keep the

gramm charge somewhat you wouldn't want

to use it in like full lobe business is

definitely help in a pinch but

importantly this will also keep your

Nintendo switch going for quite a while

not my friends is everything in the

current portable set up like I said this

is something that changes on a very very

regular basis but I want to do a better

job of constantly show you guys some of

the different setups and trying and

hopefully we get a few ideas for your

own setup that you want to build or this

is not building the ultimate setup right

that would be done building the portable

setup
