Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Tech You Can ACTUALLY Afford. Honestly.”.
Thanks to state farm sponsoring this portion of the video, what’s going on guys, it’s your average consumer and it’s been a while, since we talked about some tech that you can actually afford honestly. So today we’re going to be taking a look at some tech. That’S not going to kill your budget, but first we got to give a huge shout out to the sponsor of this portion of the video state farm. Now i don’t know how many of you know this, but state farm has options to get a surprisingly great rate.
That fits your budget, so you don’t have to give up on things that you love just so you can have insurance now. For me that sounds awesome, because when i was younger i was so scared of getting a car, because i was scared of insurance rates. If i knew something like this existed back, then where i can kind of customize my plan so that it can fit my budget, and i could just not give up on things that i like doing by going to the movies buying games.
If i knew i could do all of that and afford car insurance in new york, things would be very different for me. I’M not gon na lie. Carl might be time. You look into them.
You definitely do my boy needs to so for surprisingly great rates that fit any budget like a good neighbor state farm is there. I’Ve always wanted to say that, but you guys can call or go to statefarm.com i’ll, of course, have links down below in the description. But again huge shout out to state farm for sponsoring this portion of the video, but now you guys, let’s talk about tech, that we can all afford right. That’S that’s what you guys want! That’S what you want to see! Yes, relax fellas, but now over here we got a couple of things. So what we’ve got right here is a mouse from amazon basics. Now, now guys hear me out: amazon basics they’re inexpensive, but they got some decent stuff.
If you’re on a budget, it’s crazy, what they can, what kind of markets they can just get into amazon could just be like yeah. You know what i’ll make a mouse yeah i’ll make a rocket they can make just about whatever jeff says they should. But what we got right here, you guys is actually pretty impressive, but i want to know from any of my older subscribers who have been watching the channel for a while. What mouse does this look? Like jay tell the people, man uh the performance, mx man, the original performance mx, the one that kind of started it all.
This is basically copying the design and, while you might think, why would they copy the old one, the old one felt really comfortable in the hand, it was an amazing design. I haven’t used the performance mx in a long time and using just this very inexpensive mouse. This one cost only about, i think it was 20 bucks all right. So this one’s 28 bucks uh, but that’s still a very, very fair price for one of the most comfortable designs i’ve ever used. I can say that if you’re not trying to get the more expensive, you know, mx master those kind of things. Amazon did a really good job copying you guys, but one thing that they did, though they did add a few extra buttons here. So we’ve actually got a windows button, so if you want you can just hit the start menu just like this, it’s actually really convenient. I love that button not to mention on the bottom.
You’Ve also got a zoom button, so when you hold that button and you scroll, you guys can see, you can just make things bigger or smaller and of course, you’ve got your standard back and forward buttons as well, and you’ve got some led indicators to let you Know just how much battery you’ve got left, listen guys it comes with a dongle. They even come with their own amazon basics, double a batteries, so you’re all good to go. I honestly feel like this was a gem. This was a nice find for me, uh just because it’s so so comfortable.
Take my word for it. So we’ve got one of the best mouse designs over here for just 28 bucks. You know a mouth. Can a mouse can cost you like over 100, if you’re looking for a good one, especially the logitech mx series, forget about it but we’re moving on.
We got some headphones now. I feel like this one’s a no-brainer. You might have heard of them. These are the sound cores by anker. This one is actually the soundcore. Q20 anchor has gone all in on audio products and, if you’re looking for something, that’s not really expensive, but you want active noise canceling.
You want an over ear design. You also want something. That’S super comfortable that looks pretty sleek.
These aren’t gigantic headphones. I’D. Wear these outside no problem, they’ve got bluetooth.
They’Ve got crazy. Battery life they’ve also got a bit of a foldable design. So if you want to go ahead and pack these into your backpack, you can go ahead and do that lay it flat even comes with a travel case. So storing it is going to be pretty easy. You protect it, and these, i believe, were about, like i think, on amazon, it’s like 53 bucks or something much cheaper than a lot of the other active noise cancelling over ear bluetooth headphones that you’ll find on the market. Now we all know the really top tier ones like the sony’s of the world.
Will net you easily over 300 bucks, we’re talking about 53 dollars. You guys the sound is actually really good too. It’S got tons of bass, but it’s not like over the top, where a lot of the more inexpensive headphones are mud like the sound, is just muddy, just tons of bass.
You can’t really hear vocals, that’s not the experience here. These sound legitimate – i think anker – did a really good job here and these they look dope. You know what carl you’re right.
These really do. Look like the sonys can’t afford those it does suck that they use micro usb it’s not usb type c, not to mention you also get all the controls that you would need. Volume controls play and pause active noise cancelling over here on the left, and you can always just plug in a headphone jack, there’s surprisingly, a lot more people that still use that feature than i thought.
I asked on twitter about that and there are tons of people who still use wired headphones, so you got that option as well. I’M like super proud of those two very like. Can we do this whole list for under 100? No, no.
What am i saying we’ll talk about it while we’re on the subject of amazon, basics and audio for my content, creators out there or aspiring content creators or just folks who have you know like a dslr and they’ve been using, maybe on board audio, let’s just let’s Just up the audio quality, just just smidge, shall we we’ve got this amazon basics on camera. Microphone! It’S a shotgun mic so that you can have audio going directly from whatever this is pointing at what’s nice is that you can move it around. So if you’re, vlogging and you’re capturing content around something, you can kind of just still have the mic facing you or you can turn it around on yourself when you’re speaking to it very nice and easy uh and listen if you’ve been using onboard audio chances. Are this is going to be a massive upgrade? Let me show you guys the difference between audio like this and on board audio alright, so we’re gon na start off with the internal mics.
Okay. So, right now we are testing uh. I know this sounds like trash. Like we all know this right, but even when you put in like a cheap little microphone like this, it changes everything so right now you guys are hearing the audio from the microphone. That’S on top of the camera from amazon basics super cheap.
I think it’s like 15 bucks, but it’s way way better. You hear that train come on now. Try to get some audio, you listen! It’S not even 15 bucks. You guys it’s twelve dollars. You know save yourself three dollars right.
There send me that three dollars and what’s nice about a mic like this, is that, like i said you can turn it around, you can move it around and it’s targeted audio. So, instead of just picking up whatever’s in your vicinity, this one can focus directly on you or whatever it’s pointing at uh. You can change that setting over here. It gives you a couple of options to switch up the audio a bit, nothing fancy, but you do get a couple of controls on here, but for 12 dollars you can’t complain.
You just want a nice quick upgrade to the audio this one’s perfect, because it’s right on top and it comes with this travel pouch so that you can take it with you places now. Whenever we do, these, i feel like i always have to talk about a quality, monitor or a quality tv. So we got one of my favorites over here. There’S one from lg jake hide this man. So nowadays guys we are living in a world where 4k tvs are very affordable. This was a 55 inch tv from lg.
This is the nano cell 55 nano 75. It cost me 500 bucks, uh, there’s another one, that’s probably like the same panel but for 400, but this one has a couple of features that i think will bring some value to a lot of people. Now. First things: first, we know lg is legit. When it comes to screens, you can trust them for monitors tvs. Of course not all of them are perfect, but for something in this price range you’re.
Definitely getting your money’s worth and 55 inches is nothing to scoff at. That is a nice big screen and you get 4k uh, but some of my favorite features ever on a tv is actually the magic. Cursor is usually in the higher end models, but now we’re starting to see it trickle down to the lower end.
So when you wan na go into the menu, it’s actually really easy to just use the pointer. I love navigating the menu with this. It’S so much easier than click click, click, it’s a painting! Yes crazy! I hate it.
You don’t like it yeah, let’s just chalk! It up to call being crazy, but anyway, i think it’s absolutely awesome. Carl’S, not the reviewer here. So don’t worry about him, but it’s a nice feature to have. If you don’t want to use it, go ahead and click away the world is yours. Thank you. Now an underrated feature that this has that the 400 option doesn’t is actually bluetooth.
Now, for me, i’m not gon na lie and say i use bluetooth on tv all the time, but there’s some serious value there. You can pair a pair of bluetooth headphones to this. Like those sound cores and just listen to your content without having to disturb anyone, it is a feature my dad actually has to have in his tv. My mom is an extremely light sleeper.
She hears one little bang from the tv she’s up. Scared, what’s happened so my dad insists on having bluetooth and i can completely see the value. I think it’s awesome and you know it’s a smart tv, it’s lg, so you’ve got all the things that you come to expect. You’Ve got netflix prime video disney plus now’s on, like everything, lg channels.
We don’t care about those uh. We also have amazon alexa right here as well as google assistant. You got a ton of flexibility here, 500 bucks 55 inches 4k. It doesn’t have 120 hertz.
If you want to play on a ps5 or xbox series x, but if you you’re buying those consoles come on, you got it, you got it. So this isn’t going to give you the max when it comes to the current generation. But if you don’t care about like high frame rates – or maybe you like to have your graphics higher than your frame rate, it’s worth considering anyway, guys i’ll have a couple of other things that i think are really well priced linked down below in the description i Just think it’s nice to do these every now and then or do you guys want to see it more awesome? Do you guys want to see tech? You can actually afford be a more consistent thing. Should we do it once a month, yes dang jack, but i wan na know what you guys think too. So let me know with a comment down below we’ll catch you guys in the next one.
So then it’s your average consumer, my favorite attack out of all of these, the mouse. That’S easy! That mouse is fire. .
