What MKBHD Would Buy With $1500?

I think it’s almost a running joke now and it would just be weird if they each have their own mics.

You guys should have to live in real life and vlog it for like 2 to 4 weeks. And see how well your choices were.

[@BRNOOB_]

Agreed

[@BRNOOB_]

A week is still good

[@SniperMayer]

awesome idea

[@panikk2]

absolutely! i'd love to see them balling on a budget and see how it affects their initial opinions and if they would have chose differently by the end

[@spastheghost]

absolutely, make it happen

[@DavidWilliams-nm5jv]

This is a GREAT video/game, by the way. These are 100% real world questions and considerations. More like this! (suggestion: whatever is leftover is "for accessories")

[@alpo7412]

This was fun. Additionally would have been nice to hear some kind of "What would you miss the most while using your choices"

[@ryanrasband4158]

This is a great idea for a segment. The guy that thought it up deserves praise and a surface pro.

[@rahuljayachandran4128]

I love the fact that you were all serious about this fantasy shopping thing lol and you all did an amazing job- cant wait for more videos like this one.....Thank you so much for this splendid video- please Keep them coming....

[@PWzhouster]

Really fun gimmick. Would love to see more iterations of this style/format because everyone prioritizes different things differently Also interesting that all 3 wanted an android phone, but like the apple tablet/laptops!

[@ThanhThanh-it1pm]

Macbook is better for the kind of videos editting they do. Final cut pro is the software they use on studio . ipad series are the best tablet since they exist. Gaming/phone/headphone they dont need apple device.

[@JJCUBER]

@Than that doesn’t really have anything to do with their responses; they already said that they are only picking for leisure, of which they included editing/video-making as part of work.

[@Thisath100]

combination of champions. would never switch to iPhone but would never switch to windows again either.

[@sc00b4s7eve]

Y’all showing your ability to budget is actually amazing when you have access to everything and anything. You just taught a real life skills class that I think should be in HS… Consumer tech knowledge + self-awareness of personal values.

[@EdwardsNH]

This was way more entertaining than I was expecting.

[@ThePolaris87]

This should be done every year! This says a LOT about what tech items are the most amazing real world value!

13:30 Worth noting that the M2 isn't *that* much faster than the M1 while the lower capacity SSDs in the M2 Macs are half as fast as the M1 due to configuration changes

You could customize your base m2 air and add the 512gb storage for $200. The model that’s $300 more includes a gpu upgrade

short answer: not the Pixel Fold

[@satyanarayanae4688]

Really loved this video. You guys are special!

[@cyrilio]

At 6:02 should’ve made the under budget amount green in stead of red. Would make it clear that MKBHD is in the green.

[@vikasbharadwaj340]

Watching this on my 4a and looking at David praise it so much feels so good🥺

[@mohsenunknown]

This was an amazing game to play. When you have a "Certain budget" like 1.5k or 2k, like "most middle class" people, then you start to realise how absurd some pricing logics are. A 1.1k device like in iPad can end up 300 dollars more simply for doubleing the storage and there goes a big chunk of your budget

[@jimtamim1708]

You guys should put Marques face in the thumbnail for a good algorithm 😂

[@daintyminnie9270]

Id buy the cooling block from LTT

[@josuastangl7140]

hahaha

[@vlee9275]

My personal choices with that budget would be: $1500 used acer swift 3 (sub $500), pixel 7a ($449), sony xm5 headphones ($400ish) $500 lenovo flex 5 used ($300), pixel 4a $(110), pixel buds a ($60) $2000 used m1 macbook pro 14" ($1300), iphone 13 mini used ($449), air pods pro 2 ($200)

[@josuastangl7140]

I like your choices, but I'm not sure if I'd spend more on headphones, when on a tighter budget

[@gr4ym4n]

1/3 of the budget for headphones is definitely a lot.

[@macphreak]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@AnonN-sr6uu]

Crappy choices, getting a MacBook Air with a pro iPhone is the best choice.

[@josuastangl7140]

[@legacy_the_archer]

For the 500 Budget Im going with an old razer phone 2 because I can flash lineoge os and make it new for only 150-200 , The Razer phone actually has a version of samsung dex on it via an app i forgot the name of it . Its what they used for project linda . Then I would just used the rest of the budget on a dock,monitor,bt kbm and a pair of ugreen headphones

[@breeavila]

This challenge should be done by the whole studio crew!

For 2k, Could get m2 air, pixel 7 + pixel buds pro, sometimes there are bundles

[@tominator369]

I have that zenfone 9 and linkbuds s combo. I love it. So compact and powerful

[@quincyfreeman2901]

For the record, it’s $200 for the extra MacBook storage. That $300 increase was also including the chip upgrade from 8 to 10 GPU cores.

[@LafemmebearMusic]

Get the Bowers and Wilkins Px7 S2’s I’m listening on them now and they are amazing! The noise cancellation is like almost too good sometimes 😅lol

Once you know, you can't unsee the wooden picture covering the ugly thermostat over Marques' left shoulder.

[@ivonakis]

There is a black vertical line on the camera pointing to the guy explaining the video

[@Watch4Me]

I feel so much better about not being able to do math in my head after watching Marques calculate.

[@cjenil1]

Super fun !! But i think all should have been given same budget.

[@Dtortot]

S23 ultra (marques loves the dex so laptop issue solved) + good Bluetooth earphones + good keyboard/mouse combo

[@greylawson6352]

how’s he gonna use dex? he didn’t have leftover budget for a monitor, mouse, or keyboard

[@krystely]

Samsung ecosystem still for me, renewed tab s8 for 600$, renewed s23 for the same price and Galaxy buds 2 pro and i have couple dollars left

Electric mowers are still pretty noisy. I have the 2x18v Ryobi and it's as loud as my old corded electric. Still way quieter than my big old 6.5hp Husqvarna.

with the recent sale prices for $1500, Pixel 7, m1 macbook air, pixel buds pro brings you in at $1340

At least the guy in green got a gaming setup, respect.

[@PlasticDreamz]

For the $500 Used pixel 3a-5a with graphene os installed under $200 is just a damn steal dont have to be a baller for good shit just have to be willing to sacrifice luxury and speed sometimes

For 1500 USD I would take: - An HP Aero 13.3 laptop with 16GB/512 GB (it has a Ryzen 6000 series which is extremely good) for 620 USD on HP website. - A Pixel 7 for 449 USD - Sony WH-1000XM5 for 399 USD

[@ILoveGrilledCheese]

$349 for a beeline mini pc 16gb ryzen 7. Plays like 85% of games with the other 15% on potato settings.

A nice alternative would be a Steam deck, second hand is about 450 euros for 512 gb with a wireless keyboard & mouse pixel 7a

[@josuastangl7140]

Interesting choice to go with a smart speaker over headphones. Never really used one, but I'm also using my bluetooth ear buds less and less. For noisey environments I use my professional wired in ear monitors (I'm a musician) and in the gym I recently prefered the increased presence/focus of not wearing headphones at all.

[@jtland4842]

Having only 3 pieces of tech is so ridiculously limiting. For example just having a basic Desktop setup is 4 items including the desktop computer, a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse. And that is before you factor in any USB hubs, microphones, webcams, game controllers etc. It is a fun thought experiment but it straight up removes the ability to do so many things

[@greylawson6352]

Bruh that’s the whole point, to boil their most essential pieces of tech down to just 3 items

[@happy__amoeba]

@@greylawson6352People are limited by budgets but no one is limited by “number of gadgets” so the latter eats into the utility of the former in the game

[@trs5127]

$500 is easy though. For a year, that's more than all the money I'll need. My current phone is $200. I can get a Moondrop Aria or something nice like that for $75 (they're wired IEMs). And then I'll save the remaining $225 since none of my engineering student work is gonna get done on that budget anyway lol. This is an easy game. If I HAVE to buy something, I'll get a bt speaker for some alone music listening in my room. For like $50 or so. Matter of fact, my non-work things right now cost less than $300. My phone is $200 (Moto G72, charger included) , my earphones $20 (Moondrop Chu), my power band $20 (Mi 3i 20k mAh), my smartband $25 (Mi Band 5), my Bluetooth speaker $10 (some cheap local brand called Fingers), and that's it. My laptop is $800 (I got it for free though. It's a good laptop, especially for free lol) so that won't fit the budget but if you're counting that as work anyway then I guess it doesn't count.
