How is it? I don’t intend on getting a MacBook, but I heard it has reaalllly good battery life compared to windows laptops. I intend on using it for traveling, so maybe a MacBook Air m2. For gaming I’m gonna use my windows pc fr

For the MX anywhere mouse, you can hold down one of the side buttons and scroll that let’s you do a horizontal scroll

I personally prefer the MX anywhere over the master! I love that you can configure how strong or weak the scroll feedback is, plus using the MX anywhere is just puts less strain overall to use and is a joy to carry around ✨

I have many of the same accessories, albeit different brands. For travel I'd say my best investment has been a 100W multiport charger and a 6' cable to power my MBP Pro and other gear.

I wish the MX Master 3S came in Mid Gray like the 3 did. It matches light setups without showing as much grime as the Pale Gray.

Im surprised you didn't show off the Anker GaN portable battery and charger. Man is that thing goated, kinda pricey but when you're in a pinch that thing is clutch to have.

4:25 At least when it comes to the 100w version of that charger it splits that wattage across devices so don't expect a whole 100w to your mac while charging another device still a great product and has been taking a beating in my little tech pouch for about a year now and has outlasted two ankor cables.

I wanted to buy the MX keyboard, but at my location I was not able to get the layout I wanted, which seemed to be only in US. So I ended not buying it, and getting other one that had long shift available.

From your video, it looks like you use both a Mac Studio and a MacBook Pro, I’m curious if you use any kind of KVM solution to switch between them with the same keyboard and mouse or something else as an accessory.

While Caldigit TS4 boasts power delivery up to 98 W or Ivanky dock with 96W power delivery but it’s not enough to supply enough power for 16” MBP M3 Max which need 140W power 😢

9:20 The samsung t9 ssd is incompatible with apple devices (and most other devices too) as it uses a very rary usb spec 'usb 3.2 gen 2x2.' So purchasing one for use with an apple computer (or most windows computers) is a wasate of money over the samsung t7 as it will not be any faster than the t7.

As a user of a thunderbolt dock to move my pc away from me, I really like the idea of upgrading to that IVANKY, however, that's big price for my use case, but my case is also on the rarer side. I do think that would be perfect if I had one of hte apple devices though!

The T9 PSSD isn’t anywhere faster than the T7 on a Mac as Macs don’t support the USB3.2*2 protocol. In fact, nearly all pre-built computers don’t. That‘s only a gimmick.

I've tried a ton of Macbooks over the years and realized that I don't need any accessories. I do have an external monitor and use a USB-C cable for it, but it won't charge a 16" MBP, so I use my charger for it. Also, I've tried the MX series of peripherals, including the MX Master 3/3S and MX Keys (Full and mini), and MX mechanical. All keyboards require an adjustment period and there is a high change that you will loose productivity because of the uncomfortable keyboard. And I stopped using hubs. Transfering files via AirDrop or the cloud is simple, making time machine backups with a USB-C cable connected to a harddrive is more than enough. It all comes down to personal preferences :)
