Sony A7 IV

$1,998.00

“In fact, let me do sort of an impromptu sort of a video shoot on my Fold 8 versus my Sony A7 4 with a G Master lens on.”

“So, I've been wearing the brand new Meta Glasses, the non-Rayban Meta Glasses, for about 2 months, almost every single day since they released. And there's a lot to like about these, but there's also some things that I really don't like.”

“There are options that just come with regular lenses and I actually have the Meta Ray-Ban displays, which have regular lenses.”

“Thank Shout out to Bose by the way for sending this the subwoofers and all the speakers my way cuz they're amazing, but they are loud.”

AirPods

$119.95 · Mixed — said both good and bad

“Like my neck really never felt that sort of weight that I felt from other headphones like the AirPods Max.”

“They're similar to what I've got right here on these Bose Quiet Comforts.”

“So, for example, when I'm working on a video like this, I'm constantly collecting specs, taking notes, talking through ideas, and trying to organize everything into something actually useful. With Kamio, I can record those conversations and thoughts with up to 70 hours of continuous recording, plus I get unlimited live transcription and basic AI summaries.”

ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X

$999.99 · strongly positive

“And actually, I bought this one as an open-box Best Buy one for $497, which is more than $100 off. And let's be honest, even at the $600 price, I think the Asus ROG Xbox Ally might be the best budget PC gaming handheld that you can buy right now.”

MSI Claw 8 AI EX

positive

“And from my experience, this screen has been great. Like I really liked it on the MSI Claw 8 AI Plus.”

“And the more that prices rise, like I just bought the One X Player 3 for $1,800. I pre-ordered it.”

“I built a gaming PC with everything, like keyboard, mouse, monitor, everything, for the same price as the Lenovo Legion Go, too, which I bought at $1,350, which is insane that that's what the price was, and now it's like over $2,000 for the same spec.”

ASUS ROG Ally X

strongly positive

“One of the reasons why I consistently go back to the ASUS ROG Ally X is because of the incredible ergonomics.”

“So, I bought this thing with my own money. I've been using it for the last few weeks, and [music] I'm ready to tell you whether I think the MSI Claw 8 EX AI Plus is actually worth your money.”

“And the Omni Pro, which is the one I'm sitting in right now, is clearly positioned as the flagship of the lineup, rather than dramatically changing the original chair.”

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

$1,299.99 · positive

“And I have, of course, used the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra on occasion as well.”

“I would recommend bringing like an Anker battery pack, which I've also linked to the YouTube shopping tab. I've worked with them in the past. They're awesome.”

iPhone 17 Pro Max

$1,699.99

“If you are upgrading from the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, I can tell you from my own personal experience trading in the iPhone 17 Pro Max, I believe 512 GB version, I got about $850ish dollars in trade credit.”

“Now, my go-to is always whatever the latest iPhone Pro Max is.”

iPhone 18 Pro Max

Mixed — said both good and bad

“So, I've been using the iPhone 18 Pro Max for the last two weeks now, and on paper, it seems like [music] one of the most boring upgrades that we've had on an iPhone in years.”
