Marques reviewing his own essentials 😂

[@danilocalic797]

He had them for the last two weeks, at least

[@iavdd]

@@danilocalic797u clearly haven’t watched his everyday carry videos 😂

[@saburtierney]

You know you've made it when you make it on GQ and your essentials are all personal collabs

[@LouisLuzuka]

😊

[@bngr_bngr]

I thought he was going to say he first discover Relativity.

[@PorkChopper.]

This was basically an AD for all his products

[@circleofthytyrants]

literally 2/10 are collabs. wtf are u on about

[@saburtierney]

​@@circleofthytyrants Not sure what your on about when all im saying is how cool it is that he's built such a mainstream personal brand. Also 4/10, skin, bag, bottle, shoes

[@dylanguerrero8053]

Not having MKBHD in 4K is a CRIME.

[@emmanuelporte4201]

Still HD lol

[@VictorBalestrin]

Also, on 24fps, as opposed to his preferred 30.

[@circleofthytyrants]

@@VictorBalestrinhope u meant a preferred 120 hz. who tf still on 30 lol

[@iamJUFU]

CRAZYY

Marques bringing his own sharpie in case someone asks for an autograph is quite considerate on his part

[@LouisLiuMusic]

😂😂😂❤

[@danielfowler7986]

I carry a sharpie too, for the same reason, but so far nobody has asked for my autograph

[@tepro1612]

i carry one as well but i’m not famous so i haven’t had to use it yet. waiting for the day tho

[@scotthu8801]

Can I get one?@@danielfowler7986

[@Max_Ivanov_Pro]

Marques Brownlee's essentials are all personal collabs, showing how far he's come. So proud of this tech guru!

[@circleofthytyrants]

all of them? Only 2/10 of them are even his brand. what..

[@jaimeduncan6167]

What are you talking about: Stuff that are not collabs: The Apple Watch, the MacBook Pro, the iPhone, the Red Camera. I believe the Apple AirPods Max are not review units but I am not 100% sure. The only things that are Collabs for sure are the shoes, the skin for the MacBook, and the backpack.

[@TheRealMafoo]

@@jaimeduncan6167 And the backpack isn't a colab. It's a one off just for him (and maybe his team)

[@Philip_Taylor]

You just wanted more exposure so you wrote this comment.

[@AV.Creative]

@@dazzledave so they have trivia questions at the end of every episode and there's a running joke where, since andrew is almost always losing, when they're counting up the points they have to "carry the one" and count his points bc theres so few of them hope that helps 😁

Sooooo Marquez has made it to GQ, Shows how far he's come. Congrats

Marques has now surpassed GQ

I love how his things are literally made custom or designed by/for him

[@Philip_Taylor]

As opposed to what, metaphorically designed for him? What about symbolically?

[@zizu5585]

[@keith3915]

The raw footage on RED cameras are often a weird thing called "Compressed Raw" which produces video at pretty much the same quality as raw but at much more manageable sizes. RED has patented compressed raw for 4k and above. Don't buy RED products, they are slowing down technological progress and have no respect for the industry.

[@CJXcars]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@superevilvillain]

love that we get an actual everyday carry style essentials video when you get an actual reviewer on who has interesting things to say lol

Almost the same setup. I have the Pixel 8 Pro and an iPad Mini 6 for my occasional iOS fix. The best of the two worlds

[@frankd9945]

"I've paid full price for every red camera that we bought"... Still leaves wiggle room for them giving it to you. Lol.
