My Favorite Tech For Remote Work!

Remote Work Accessories so as somebody who's lucky enough to be able to work from wherever they want it's very important to me that whether I am working at a co-working space or coffee shop at home or even while traveling and on vacation that I create a very comfortable and productive environment so I can be able to get my stuff done regardless of where I am so in this video what I want to do is focus on some travel Tech but very focused more towards kind of work accessories to kind of show off exactly what I bring with me to create that awesome comfortable environment whether I am in a cram little desk at a coffee shop or if I have my Giant desk right behind me so without further ado let's talk about these accessories and maybe you guys can pick and choose one or two to help complement your current setup let's get into [Music] it so as I was putting this together I Universal Accessories wanted to make sure that I was as universal and inclusive as possible with all these accessories so I somebody that uses mostly my iPad Pro as my main device but I didn't want to just segment myself into that section so whether you're using MacBook Air or a Windows laptop a tablet an iPad or even if you just work directly from your iPhone at all times all these accessories should have a place for you with those different products so it's not going to be about which product you use to accessorize with but it's going to be ProtaArc Folding Keyboard those accessories around you but to start off I want to start with some peripherals for your computer or tablet or whatever we're going to be using in this video for yourself so the first thing I'm going to mention is going to be a keyboard a travel keyboard that's specifically made to be able to be moved around Fold It Up put into tight spaces put into a backpack and even into a back pocket if that's all you have on you and that's going to be the Proto Arc folding keyboard now this is a chicklet style keyboard like I said the pricing will be somewhere on the screen and it connects up to three different devices charges via USBC and it is just amazing to have with you at all times when you are traveling because in this situation you're able to just pull this out open it up and it does autoconnect immediately to your main device after you do your neutral Bluetooth setup when you first get it now from then on whenever you do open it it's going to look for one of those three devices and connect automatically and this is a fullsize keyboard so it does have a number pad it's got directional d-pad which is awesome to see and of course has all of your keys right then and there very easy to use very self-explanatory and the battery lasts forever I have not had to charge it a single time and like said it does charge via USBC and it charges up very quickly if you do need to get it charged up so that is a folding keyboard by Proto Arc amazing thing to have especially if you're on the go and you're working at a multiple locations and now I do want to Logitech Anywhere 2S recommend some sort of external Mouse and I'm going to recommend two of them my first one is going to be my tried andrue anywhere S2 Mouse I've had that thing for almost 6 years now at this point I still have the second version of it they are now on the third iteration of it only difference between the second and the third is micro USB versus USBC to charge so my Logitech anywhere S2 still works perfectly fine and the only downside for mine is that it does charge via micro USB but the new one does fix that issue with a USBC connection to be able to charge it up but in my opinion that anywhere S2 Mouse is the highest quality cheap mouse that you can get because I do believe it's around $60 for this mouse but it has good heft to it right and left click you can click on the scroll wheel the scroll wheel does have some tactility to it it's got some Shortcut buttons on the le- hand side as well it's a little brother to the mxm which is that anywhere S2 or S3 ProtoArc Mouse & Hub depending on which one you want to go with and the second mouse I want to recommend does have a multi-purpose functionality to it which I do you like is also going to be by Proto Arc and they actually bundle the keyboard and this Mouse together in one package which I'll link down below for you guys but this mouse is a garden variety Mouse it's very lightweight it is made of plastic it does connect up to three different devices which is great to see similar to the Logitech which it does connect to three different devices but the trick up the sleeve with this one is that it has a mini USB C dock built inside of it so you can actually just slide it out cuz it's sliding in through rails plug it into whatever machine you're using whether it is an iPad or a Macbook and it has all the main points that I one especially in a pickle like this one so of course you have your PD pass through which supports up to 60 WS of power pass through it's got a USB a port on there which supports Gen 2 speeds and then you also have an HDMI 2.0 Port which does support some 4K output as well so if you're in maybe a co-working space and you have an HDMI cable but you don't have the actual dongle this could save a lot of people in a pinch and for the price cuz I believe it's under $40 for the mouse and the dongle built into there so definely check that one out if you need a multi-purpose Mouse for an on the-go situation and since I am constantly moving locations I don't know how tall Plugable Laptop Stand or how low a certain table's going to be or a desk or whatever the case is so being able to prop up my laptop or prop up my iPad at eye level is going to help with strain so this laptop standby pluggable is an awesome thing to have and to have in any backpack or any purse and that is because it is extremely lightweight it's foldable it stays compact when you need it to and then it opens up nicely to become a perfect stand for your laptop and it has I believe six different viewing angles ranging from I believe 60° all the way down to 15° as I said it is foldable so it's very origami style and it's multi purpose it's got a little slit there to be able to hold your laptop very comfortably but also it can hold your iPad Pro in the magic keyboard but then it has two more flaps so if you just want to go with a tablet and'll go in tablet mode you can put your tablet there and be ready to go with a nice little stand at whatever viewing angle you see fits so that one can slide into any bag and it's a perfect thing to have especially for I believe only $25 Lexar SL500 SSD another piece of travel work Tech which is very very important to me personally is going to be an SSD now I Ed the t7 shield for years and I love that one I had the 2 tab version and had everything that I ever had on that one but I recently switched over to lexar's SL500 which is they have it in a 2 tby and a 4 TB version I'm went with a 4 TB version and what I like about this one is just how thin and how slim and how compact it is because from a thickness standpoint and weight standpoint it's about half the size of what the t7 shield was it's only 43 G it's only 5.8 mm in thickness it's still about the same footprint maybe a little bit smaller of a footprint of The t7 Shield about the same footprint as a credit card but this one is just absolutely amazing it's got the best read and write speeds you can get at consumer level and at this price point I believe it's 2,000 megabyte right speeds and 18800 megab read speeds so I use this for everything from offloading footage for my iPhone onto this SSD and then using it on my iPad to work off of this SSD when editing video this product by Lexar has been amazing everything works as is intended it's very safe it is ip54 rated as well so it can withstand a 2 m fall so no need to worry about the SSD getting damaged over time really really like this one the 4 terabytes of extra storage is amazing and being able to save money by not going crazy on the internet internal storage on something like a MacBook Air or an iPad Pro is amazing because for about $170 you can get a 2 tab version whereas if you were to spec up let's say an iPad Pro at 2 terabytes that would cost you I think that would double the price of the iPad and make it like4 or $2,500 so definitely use external storage wherever you can in these situations and now let's pivot over to AirPods Pro Gen 2 some Audio Solutions because again if we're in these noisy environments you want to be able to black out all the noise and I'm going to recommend two different headphones and they're going to be completely different in terms of who they're for and what people prefer the first one I'm going to have to recommend some airpods Pro the USBC versions of airpods pro are only $190 on Amazon right now and that's an absolute steal so you guys should definitely check that out because for somebody that is just in the Apple ecosystem and just wants to have the easiest kind of experience from the user side and have things work as they intended to but still have some great noise cancellation especially for the size of the earbuds also have some great battery life and be able to charge via mag saave and USBC there really isn't anything else that compare in terms of in your earbuds at this price point for Apple products right you have your active cancellation your transparency mode the new adaptive isolation you have white noise makers that you can use inside of the headphones there's really no complaints that I have over the airpods pro so definitely jump on them if you're looking for some inar earbuds but now if you're somebody likes over Sonos Ace ear headphones the new Sonos Ace have been absolutely amazing they've been my main headphones for a while now I was coming from the Bose QC Ultras which were around the same price point the Sonos Ace are $450 those bows are about $430 so I'll leave some links down below for both of them but I would gravitate a little bit to the Sonos a just because of the look the com Comfort level the Comfort level on Sonos Ace is unmatched for over your headphones so definitely check them out active noise cancellation in their aware mode which is their transparency mode is also great so if you are willing to spend $450 on a pair of headphones that are going to last be very comfortable and constantly been getting updates and you're in the Sonos ecosystem there's no other headphone to go for so we have our peripherals in check we have our audio in check now Nomad 65W Power Brick let's talk power first I want to mention Nomad 65 wat power BR and this power Brak has a couple tricks of its sleeve first and foremost like I said it's a 65 W power Brak that you plugin you can use it to charge your MacBook Air at full speed you can use it to charge your iPad Pro fast you can PD charge your iPhone but what I like about this is that yes it's got two USBC ports one fast port and one PD Port but on top it also has an Apple Watch charger so it has an Apple Watch charging Pock and it'll charge your Apple watch at the fastest speeds possible so if you're just kind of going on a quick trip where you only need to bring one thing with you and you want to make sure you can actually charge your Apple watch overnight or something like that this is a great little solution that plugs directly into the wall but again an absolutely great charger from a great brand that is very reputable and will last you forever and Kuxiu X40Q Qi2 another great charging solution especially if you're somebody that uses the big three which is the iPhone airpods and Apple watch is going to be the x40 Q by Kuku and this is a new ch2 charger so you're able to get those 15 watts of Mag safe speed for your iPhone and you can charge your Apple watch at 5 watts and charge your airpods pro at 5 Watts as well and this is just going to be a compact 3in1 travel charger I did a whole video on them previously so if you guys want to check that out I will put it up on the cards here maybe link it down below because it does everything you would want it to it includes a 30 W brick in the packaging a USB C to USBC cable the charger as well as a nice little hard shell carrying case so everything stays together whenever you do need it and this is my travel charger of choice especially if I'm going over for a couple of nights and staying at a hotel because I can charge my Apple watch Ultra my airpods Pro as well as my iPhone at full speed without having to worry about anything else so definitely check this one out if you're looking for a ch2 enabled charger especially and I do want to bring up two more accessories from the mag safe side for your iPhone Magic Slim MagSafe BAttery specifically the first one's going to be the Magic Slim mag safe charging Bank by raycon and this is going to be my favorite battery pack outside of Apple's own proprietary one because Apple did discontinue their Max a battery pack because I don't think they wanted to put a USBC port on it maybe they'll bring that one back but also the capacity on that one was relatively small but we all loved how it integrated with the software because of Mag safe and being able to talk to it and then showing up on your battery widget and things like that and up until this day I have not found a single battery pack that can talk to the iPhone that way until the new Magic Slim came around by raycon so I don't know how they did it but this is a 5,000 mAh battery pack that does attach via Mac safe it has a USBC port on it so it can also output from the USBC Port if you want to directly plug in but the most amazing part about this is that it does talk to your iPhone and to iOS meaning that when you put it on the back you get the iOS animation and then also it shows up in your battery widget which is something that I have not seen before in a third party Maxa battery Bank something to consider especially for an everyday carry because honestly it's so slim I don't know how they did it but raycon shout out to you guys for putting together such an awesome product and then the last one I Moft MagSafe Tripod want to bring up it's kind of a sleeper item it's by mof and it's going to be their tripod like origami stand which I absolutely love when I first got it I didn't think that I would have a need for it and then as I started to use it more and more there's a bunch of different use cases that I can kind of name off the top of my head firstly if you're by yourself and you want to take a selfie you can prop this up you get another 8 in of elevation on the m sand itself and you're able to attach your phone magnetically via magc safe and you can take a selfie or use a back camera and be able to see what's going on but then also when you are in that wew work environment or that coffee shop and maybe you're only restricted to your one screen being able to have your iPhone propped up kind of a little bit higher almost at eye level to match the level of whatever display you're using either a laptop or an iPad it does help out from an ergonomic standpoint so I'm able to have let's say like a YouTube video playing on there or maybe Spotify or taking a phone call or what I even like to use it the most for is for continuity camera so I can quickly just turn around the actual stand itself point the back camera to myself and then I have a nice beautiful iPhone 15 Pro Max camera as my webcam to up my zoom calls and up my Google meets meetings so having that has been awesome as part of my travel remote work kind of everyday carry but those are all the accessories that I wanted to Final Thoughts mention
