  • Hey, tackle it here.

  • Welcome back to coffee time.

  • Now, with the holiday season approaching, many of you may be wondering what gifts what tech gifts, gadgets and gear should you get yourself or your loved ones Now, as an ex Google ex Facebook tackle aid a minimalist and the multimillion there.

  • I thought I had some gadget recommendations that I think are going to improve your life.

  • Improve your productivity for me.

  • Christmas came early, and that just went out and bought all this stuff that I'm getting this year.

  • I'm not going to get anything where for Christmas.

  • But I want to show you what I got for myself personally.

  • First of all, you may have noticed that I have upgraded my home office set up.

  • We got a new, beautiful standing desk, and this chair is new as well.

  • Let me tell you about these.

  • So this is the smart desk to built by Autonomous, which is a very reputable company.

  • They're trusted by over 100 30,000 corporations, and this desk looks almost exactly like the type that I've been using over at Google and Facebook.

  • When I worked there Now, without like about this is.

  • It's a very elegant and minimalist design, and it also feels very solid.

  • The surface doesn't scratch easily.

  • I first I thought, Well, maybe I don't need the standing desk until I realized one of the biggest benefits of this is that you can just adjust it just right to the perfect height that you need.

  • You don't necessarily even need to use the standing capabilities.

  • But if you wanted to, like sometimes I'm just sitting and my shoulders get a little bit tired.

  • I just want to stand up, change my position.

  • I just press a single button and this desk goes to a pre programmed position in which I can stand them work.

  • And so now actually find myself using the standing configuration several times a day because I work probably 12 to 16 hours a day.

  • I'm just here all the time, and the best part is the price for this is actually very reasonable.

  • It's like $330 or so right now with the Black Friday sales, check him out.

  • There will be a link in the description below, as well as links for all the other items I'll be referencing all right next up is this brand new chair, also built by Autonomous.

  • It is known as the ergo chair, too.

  • It comes in that only $320 right now with that black Friday sale, which is a very reasonable price.

  • And the quality is so good.

  • It's got so many features.

  • Let me show you a few things that you do.

  • You're gonna just almost everything about this chair, the tilt of the angle, the tote, and straightened up the back.

  • I can lock it in place as well, and that just lets me relax.

  • I like to sit back here, check my phone.

  • Sometimes when I want to get back to work, I unlock it.

  • Of course, you can adjust the seat height, the height of the arm rests and you even have some next support here, which is pretty nice.

  • So this is kind of my new office furniture set up.

  • And the great thing about office furniture is it's actually a great investment compared to, say, electronics, which pretty much outdated every two years or so, Office furniture will last like a lifetime if you take the tear of it.

  • Not to mention the best thing is the reasonable pricing for really professional grade equipment.

  • This is the type of stuff you may find that Google or Facebook, really.

  • So I'm pretty satisfied that my desk set up now really feels very professional.

  • And again, if you want this stuff, there are black Friday deals running now, So check those out now moving on.

  • I also want to show you some other really cool gear that I've got said that one is.

  • Recently I was over in Las Vegas, you know, as a multi milliner, I'm living the high life, and that checked out the new razor store where I saw this keyboard, the Huntsman, and it is so cool it lights up.

  • It's got all the special effects voted one of the best using upto mechanical switches, which are essentially light switches that reduces the travel time Your fingers have to press.

  • For someone who types of very fast like me, I will tap out like 100 40 words per minute.

  • That actually makes a difference.

  • There you go under 40 worth permitted taps like a Michigan, the razor huntsmen keyboard so mechanical switches and it looks pretty, and as a software engineer and someone who makes their living on the Internet.

  • This is such a cool keyboard.

  • It lights up cycles through colors, and I can type so fast on this thing.

  • Not to be fair, I can compare it with, say, that Apple Magic keyboard, which is why I have been using previously.

  • And this is actually a great keyboard and, quite frankly, is probably the more elegant keyboard I can type about just as fast on both keyboards.

  • So they're both very good.

  • But the thing about the razor Huntsman is it just makes you feel so cool using it.

  • Wayne type on it.

  • It's actually kind of clout and almost sounds like a machine gun like you're out to do some real damage here.

  • It's really built for a PC, but it works fine for the Mac, and I use a program Caribiner elements to remap a few keys.

  • And actually, if you connect the PC and configure the keyboard, you get even more special lighting effects like you can get lighting ripple effects whenever you tap on any of these keys.

  • So that's the razor Huntsman.

  • And in addition, when I was there, I also notice these really cool mouse pads they had actually light up and psycho colors.

  • And so what I have here is the Raiser Gala Theis extended mouse pad, which just looks really cool cycles between colors.

  • It gives a really cool effect that night.

  • It's just it's so pro, and beyond that, I guess it's functional.

  • But I do like the extended mouse pad because it helps me organize my workspace.

  • And I know exactly where my keyboard I'm also are now.

  • Another new item this year has been the MX Master three Mouths, which is a successor to the wildly popular MX Master Tu es by Logitech.

  • These mouths are great.

  • They're just really well built.

  • They feel good in your hand, the scrolling mechanisms.

  • Good.

  • There are extra funds on the side, including a scroll wheel, which are are programmable.

  • The MX master to us will probably be cheaper.

  • Maybe like 60 bucks or so.

  • The three is going to run you about 100 bucks or so and overall, the biggest thing about these is the build quality is so good.

  • The biggest difference with the three is the scroll wheel.

  • It just feels a lot more solid and robust, whereas the two s if he was a little bit cheaper on both of these, you can press a button to unlock this girl wheel, and that just lets you scroll very fast through pages.

  • If you want to get to the bottom really quickly and then you can unlock it.

  • If you want the ratchet through a page or more slowly, what else do we have here?

  • Well, a few more other tech gadgets that I might recommend this year some of my favors.

  • Well, when is this bank you desk lamp?

  • I got this lamp over a year ago, and it's just been serving me well every single day.

  • It has a broad swath of light over my desk.

  • You can adjust the color temperature.

  • You can adjust the brightness.

  • It's got two hinges with a broad reach and cast a very pleasant light that makes me productive any time of day.

  • I almost always have this on.

  • Even during the daytime, this ultra widescreen monitor.

  • Some of you guys have been asking about it.

  • It is the bank you x 35 01 r monitor.

  • I actually enjoy it quite a bit.

  • As a minimalist.

  • I was at first skeptical about monitors.

  • But it's actually just made me so much more productive having that extra screen real estate.

  • Plus it features a 100 Hertz refresh rate, which makes scrolling through documents reading documentation easier on the ice.

  • The pressing is pretty reasonable.

  • It's about 650 bucks or so on Amazon right now, this year on my wish list.

  • Also are the Apple Airport pros with noise canceling.

  • I just have a normal one, so I probably won't upgrade.

  • But I think of your travel on airplanes.

  • That noise canceling must be pretty nice.

  • The brand new Mac book, 16 Inch also looks quite good with the new keyboard.

  • I used to have to overlay keyboard on my laptop all the time because the keyboard was so much.

  • But it seems like they fixed that.

  • So that's looking pretty nice if you're in the market for a new laptop and then I might personally recommend getting a camera or a microphone to start a YouTube channel, perhaps, or build up your instagram influence because Social Media just has so much potential these days is a great hobby.

  • I personally use this only a 64 100 camera, and I used a zoom H one audio recorder with a lab earlier microphone.

  • The last thing am I suggest getting for the holidays is taking a trip.

  • You know, investing in good experiences and memories is almost always worth while I think usually that's what I would get myself for Christmas or for my birthday.

  • I would just invest in these experiences in good memories so they'll do for me.

  • Remember, if you want any of the stuff I mentioned, there be links in the description below.

  • Take advantage of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.

  • There are some pretty good sales going on.

  • And let me know what is on the top of your list for your holiday wish list.
