I honestly think having dual monitors is so worth it in terms of productivity. The keyboard/display combo seems like a cool idea but you might as well get another display for that price.
I think at $250, if you don't already have a nice mechanical keyboard and you don't want to add a ton of space to your desk it makes sense. With its normal MSRP and/or if you've already got a good board, I agree.
He's recommending great gadgets that are the type of "niche but great" things. I can tell he put a lot of effort into the selection, especially since there's such a wide range of options. People know a second monitor is an option, he would add no value by saying "get a second monitor". (and he wouldn't because he doesn't like them) There's someone out there that will benefit from being made aware of that device. No value would be added if he recommended another monitor.
It also looks like something that with a screen protector, could make sense for luggage / big backpacks. If you have some extra desk space while out and a 2-in-1, I can see myself using the laptop in tent mode as the side screen with info lookup and the KB screen in center for the word processor. Much nicer KB than any laptop, and less desk space than laptop + portable screen _+ keyboard._
Great video! There are a lot of ideas here. As someone who has run a gift shop, I can tell you that the best gift a man can receive is either a good wallet or a good massage.
Vionentus smart wallet PERIOD. about 90% of the wallets that claim to be genuine leather are made of bonded leather, they are the only brand I encountered that offer full grain leather for such a low $
Cheers to all other Germans watching this Channel, as there is apparently quite a few of us ✌️ And great video Quinn, I already planned on gifting two of the items on your list anyways but found a another good idea :)
@@snazzy We Germans are quite concise consumers. We like things that are build the right way but we also want to know their weaknesses. It aligns well with your channel culture and I guess that’s why so many watch your channel. It’s one off the most balanced, honest and entertaining tech channel I know of. Keep up the good work Quinn and let us know if you need more German tool tips. For your Christmas check out the knipex mini wrench, same size but I prefer this type as it can double as full set of wrenches.
Quinn you are a Master. Excellent gift guide. Can not say whether or not I’ll get these as “gifts” but I want 90% of the loot. That flashlight looks great.
Wow this is a really wonderfully put together list! It’s a rare for me to find a Black Friday deal guide like this where it’s filled with a ton of items I’ve never heard of before and they’re all within a reasonable price range for what they are! Thanks Quinn for putting together such a great list that’s filled with actually interesting items🤓
I always get so excited when you publish a new video because you bring a level of care and thoroughness to your content, not to mention wit and humor, that simply cannot be found in many other places (if any). You can always tell that you're genuinely not only interested but passionate and just geeky about the things you talk about and its truly refreshing.
I am _fascinated_ by the fact that Quinn is so obsessed with vacuum cleaners. Well I don't know if obsessed is the right word, maybe he's more of a vacuum afficionado, a connoisseur even. Not that there's anything wrong with that, many of them have tons of interesting tech. It's just kind of unusual, more quirky than weird. You do you!
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Subscribed. Happy holidays to all. Love from Saudi Arabia. PS I bought the playdate and I hate myself because the price is outrageous but hey YOLO.
Your gift guide/cool gadget videos are honestly some of the best. All of the other ones are sponsored bs or just crappy tools they though together to make a video and get add revenue. Yours is stuff I actually kinda want to buy 😂 and I have! And I’ve always loved the products! Keep doing what you’re doing!
Greetings from Germany, had to listen to the WERA Kraftform TURBO several times. Jokes aside, i really like the list with quite some affordable options
it's funny to see him talk about the high price of stuff like the moft stand but not for the 200 external dac. the curse of knowing how audio prices get I suppose.
I was also thinking of grabbing an old time capsule, but is it secure enough for my data? I mean its OS is outdated and did not receive any patches for ca. 10 years.. What is your opinion on that?
I have had my Time Capsule collecting dust for years and have a Silicon M1 Mac Mini and other desktop Macs as well including my 2006 Mac Mini which I am playing Diablo 2 on. Thank you for showing how you can bring an old device back to life. I will buy the 2tb ssd and the flashlight when I have the money. Then I have to FIND the Time Capsule somewhere in my bedroom and I can use it to make the continually nagging backup requests that Apple is obsessed with. Have a great Thanksgiving and I love your videos and your beard is fine. I am 71 and have grown a beard but I break out in acne so I cannot have one for long.
I can personally testify to the excellence of the Aurora A8. I wish the design was less cylindrical, and I could wish for a different button setup, but it definitely packs a powerful punch light-wise. I have bought 2 of these and can highly recommend.
is there a way to know what is the max capacity HDD that the Apple Time Capsule will accept. Looking forward to get one for my apple devices back-ups, but I cannot find this info anywhere.
I don’t know if you will see this comment or not but is there any suggestions for a portable power bank with an outlet plug in that would support something that would run a ps4 for about 3 hours or longer that is within the price range of 250-300, I was thinking of getting something for my nephew that wasn’t really expensive or really cheap
Fun fact: Both the Wera screwdriver and the Knipex pliers are from my hometown Wuppertal, which is basically the capital of tool making in Germany. Greetings from a German viewer!
Since the iPhone 15 Pro Max has USB-C, I’ve actually thought about connecting the Kwumsy Keyboard to it. I am mobile all the time as an Uber eats DoorDash GrubHub and Amazon Flex driver and sometimes sometimes it would just be really nice to have both extra screen space, and a keyboard to be able to communicate with customers on the road a lot easier than typing into the phone all day
The fan on the ISDT 200X power station is EXCEPTIONALLY loud. Their fan curve also makes no sense what so ever, it seems to be just on or off. And when it's on, it's audible above everything else in the room. There was clearly no thought put into the sound of this thing. AVOID.
“You can’t expect to tame a nine inch hog, the magnum sprays its love everywhere and you’d be lucky to own one” You thought you could just slide that whole perverted paragraph in there without anyone noticing. 🤣 🤣
I have the smaller version of the Unicorn pepper grinder (I think it's big enough) and it is truly a huge addition if you're a home cook. Cannot recommend enough.
Wow, this is the first video I've ever watched that back-to-back recommends me products that Im interested in getting or at least think are cool. Great job dude!
Am German. You're welcome. And regarding pepper mills I absolutely adore my cheap hand cranked coffee grinder. I grind a ton of spices for Indian food, bbq rubs and whatever else and it is a beautiful black anodized beast. The handle makes it extra easy to crank too. No more cramps trying to grip that slippery wooden mill that costs double the price and mills a fifth in the same time. Geez, that was a lot of emotional outbreak for a spice grinder. I need to lay down for a while.
I always enjoy your gift guide videos, legitimately well put together list of fun stuff. Bought flipside as a gift and am eyeing the flashlight for myself.
Yo you did that LTT Stubby Screwdriver DIRTY at 13:47 xD If anyone has a suggestion for a good adjustable desktop power supply like the one at 17:10 on the top left? As a Canadian, I LOLed hard at 19:50 .... "if you're scared of fractions AND FREEDOM". Metric FTW! Except for human weight and height, also the 1 mile per minute rule of thumb is kinda neat, also for oven temperatures... It's hard to be Canadian.
It doesn't get even warm, much less hot. Additionally, I've felt the active cooling covers the back of the wireless charger. Phone stays much cooler than on my official MagSafe puck.
Not even 15 seconds into this video I paused just to type this comment. That garlic press might be the most important think I have in the kitchen. If you don't have it already. Buy it as a gift for yourself. If you do have it, buy it for someone else! If it would break, I would order a new one right away. Hands down a must!
@@snazzy I can respect that lol. I do like the convenience of Bluetooth though Edit: and I can't hear the difference anyway. But I'm not that experienced and don't use lossless files
Bought the ISDT 200X based on his recommendation. It’s terrible, the fan is loud even only using 20w. Plus it keeps ramping up and down. Immediate return.

Yep, but that is part of these guides - something not obvious.

Desk space is the main limiting factor for me, so this is a really great alternative!

It lets me crank it wherever I am!
Yea!!!...... no wait

Great for on the toilet..

I own their VN100 for few months already, looks like new
A good massage of my wallet, I’m in.

Especially the torches and tools
it's funny to see him talk about the high price of stuff like the moft stand but not for the 200 external dac. the curse of knowing how audio prices get I suppose.
This video is the standard for what every gift guide on UA-cam should be
One of the best tech recommendation videos I´ve ever seen! Thank you, keep it up! ✌
Thanks, will do!
I was also thinking of grabbing an old time capsule, but is it secure enough for my data? I mean its OS is outdated and did not receive any patches for ca. 10 years.. What is your opinion on that?

I can personally testify to the excellence of the Aurora A8. I wish the design was less cylindrical, and I could wish for a different button setup, but it definitely packs a powerful punch light-wise. I have bought 2 of these and can highly recommend.
Finally a video that recommends some techs that I’ll actually buy. Thanks!

Quin 😩 I loved your idea of using the capsule as a network drive but can I access the stored files from the files app on my iPhone?
I've been watching your videos on and off for so long that it feels like you're seasoned, old hand TV presenter.
I bought the flashlight last year because of this video. It got so much use this weekend with 3 days of no power due to the hurricane.
One of the one unique and useful lists I've seen out there. Nice work Quinn.

being new here, based on the recommendations I have a feeling that you either cook or do diy projects in your garage
Is there a maximum drive size that you can use in the old Time Capsule?
What fantastic recommendations for Christmas! Thank you so much!
I know I shouldn't watch videos like this, because I end up spending money. And now I have a new mini torch on its way to me haha
Ahhh the door to door vacuum salesman has returned!
This was one of the best tech gift lists Ive ever seen, I was genuinely interested in almost every item
Dude...how do you find these..when all others keep on suggesting the same things over and over again...just amazing. Thank you!
THOSE LITTLE PLIERS HAVE ME HOOKED, haha thanks for another awesome and engaging video. you definatly had some unique and fun gift ideas. LOVE IT
the idea of putting a wireless charger on top of an already hot device just seems silly and a quicker way to ruin your battery
It doesn't get even warm, much less hot. Additionally, I've felt the active cooling covers the back of the wireless charger. Phone stays much cooler than on my official MagSafe puck.
Update your phone my phone is cool all day
It's just like those powerbanks that double up as hand warmers that are surprisingly popular nowadays. They literally kill their own battery lol
2 years with my S22 Ultra, charging every day with the Samsung Duo Wireless Charger, the battery it's in the same conditions without degradation.
The bigger issue here is companies being greedy and not deciding to improve the batteries. It's 2024 batteries shouldn't have to be a disgrace.
What, that screwdriver that spins 4 times for every rotation sounds friggen awesome. Neat tech all around; thanks for sharing!
great video. happy holidays quinn
