 Hey guys, Thundie here and welcome to my back to school video. This one is a bit gaming oriented and also giving you stuff that you can pick up that won't cost you a lot of money. Now I've got some help from a few of my YouTube buddies, they're going to help me out in picking a few things that actually fit of course to hold back to school monkeying. Now if you're watching this for the first time, go ahead and smash that subscribe button notification bell so you can watch more videos from the channel. So let's start off with the very first arena that I think most people care about, smartphones. You're looking for something that is cost effective, that does a pretty good job. I've got three smartphones for you and the first one is the Samsung Galaxy A50. Retails for $250. This is the cheapest Galaxy device you can get that works really well. It's quite impressed with its functionality but especially when you're gaming it's got an Exynos processor and the 9610 and that handles PUBG really well on high settings and you've got a 4000mAh battery, a headphone jack, it's running one UI, it's got a decent triple camera setup at the back and you've got a nice looking display at 6.3 inches. It is a lovely device to pick up especially the price point at $250, $260 you can't go wrong with that at all. Now my very next smartphone is the Galaxy A70. The A70 is a little bit pricier, it's about $350 which is still really good. It's powered by the Snapdragon 675 processor, comes with a massive 5000mAh battery so this thing will last you the whole day. It's great for that, it's also really solid in gaming playing PUBG as well on this high settings you're going to get some really good performance all the way through. The camera gives you some nice photos, not so much on low light but that's not what you get at this price point, headphone jack, USB type-C charging for both the Galaxy A50 and the A70 so you've got that there and I think this is something a lot of people would definitely like. Now our third device is the Pixel 3a. Now the Pixel 3a is known to be one especially in terms of camera quality, it's really really good in rivals, high end devices because you've got that Pixel camera software. It's a solid device, running stock Android and I think it's really nice, it runs the Snapdragon 670, it does have 4GB of RAM so it's not really a gaming powerhouse, you can do some gaming on the Pixel 3a and I think it will handle it well enough but you're looking for a camera, this is the smartphone you're definitely going to pay. If you look for more gaming performance, the A70 and the A50 do a much better job especially at this price point under 400 bucks with the Pixel 3a coming around like $380 or $90 or so so that's where I see them. Now in terms of just a carrier to use, I usually go with T-Mobile just because I've been a T-Mobile customer for years and if you're looking for something that will work with those devices, these three devices will work on the T-Mobile and it's something to take a look at. The pricing is great, family plans if you're looking for one and it's also pretty good. This is not a plug for T-Mobile, it's just what I would select. If you're looking for a plan for your kids or yourself back to school that is probably what will work best for you. So there are a few more things to check out and at this point I'm going to pass it over to Matthew Moniz to let you know about laptops you can pick up for back to school. So he asked me to give some of my favorite picks for back to school gaming. The budget pick definitely goes to the Acer Nitro 5. This is the laptop you buy if you're on a budget under 700 bucks, i5-9300H with the GTX 1650, more than enough power to play most games comfortably between medium and high settings. It's not the most attractive laptop but it will game comfortably. The panel could be a little bit more color accurate and if you want something a little bit better you can look at the Acer Nitro 7 instead. Now if you have a little bit more money to spend, my suggestion is the sweet spot. My suggestion is to go with the Acer Predator Helios 300. Sometimes you can find this laptop for under a thousand dollars and you're getting a 9750H processor with the GTX 1660 Ti. This is more than capable of playing any game that's currently on the market and the best part is you get a high refresh panel at 144 Hertz. It's color accurate, you have Thunderbolt 3 and all the ports you need to hook up all your favorite peripherals. Now, if you have some more spiny money and you want to buy something a little bit better, my suggestion is to look at the Razer Blade 15 or the Gigabyte OLED. Go for the Blade 15 if you're strictly just gaming and you want good looks. Like this is more than adequate to game comfortably on high settings. You can get this in 4K, you can get this with 240 Hertz. My suggestion is just to get the one with 144. But if you're a content creator first, I recommend gravitating towards the Gigabyte instead. The Aero 15 just has a very good balance between performance and heat management. On top of that you also get an SD card slot which is something you don't get on the Blade 15. Plus it just has a lot more IO to choose from than the Razer variant. So Blade 15 for specifically just gaming, Aero 15 if you're doing creative work first, gaming second. Anyways, that wraps up my back to school gaming picks. Thank you E for having me on. Alright guys, so my name is Gameski and first off I want to thank Thunder E for asking me to do this. He asked if for his back to school video I would come on and share two pair of truly wireless earbuds that I would recommend for back to school. So the two I'm going to recommend are going to be under $100 and the first one is the one more stylish true wireless. It's honestly one of my personal favorites. It comes in at $99 and some of the features that it has like Bluetooth 5.0 and it plays high-res audio like AptX and AAC. The battery you're going to get about six hours and then with the case you're going to get around 24 total. The case is really small so it's easy to throw in a backpack or even throw in your pocket. It also has quick charge so if you pick them up and they're dead charging for 15 minutes you're going to get about three hours of use. And the way that they're tuned is very dynamic like the bass you're going to feel but the treble is also extremely clean. It's just an overall amazing pair of truly wireless earbuds that under $100 is really hard to be. And so the next pair I'm going to recommend actually I just reviewed and it's the Trandia T3. They come in at $50 and these are more geared towards people that love bass and I like bass but I don't like bass to affect everything else. And this is one of the most booming bass truly wireless earbuds that I've tried but also while keeping the highs in the mids very dynamic as well. So nothing gets lost and it's just a very fun sounding truly wireless earbud to use. It also has Bluetooth 5.0. It is IPX5 water resistant. It has six to eight hours of battery life but if you're like me and like to listen to things turned up you're going to get about six hours. The case though is going to give you around 60 hours total. And again I'm not sure how they were able to do this for $50. I mean especially when companies are charging $160 to $200 for earbuds like this but anyway thank you so much to Thunder E for having me and enjoy the rest of the video. Thank you Matthew. Thank you GameSki. Definitely a huge help in picking the right laptops and of course wireless earbuds because that's the biggest thing now in the market to pick for the backs of school peer but now you're also looking for chargers to charge your devices and we know a lot of the chargers that come in in the boxes are not up to snuff. I've got a array of chargers here from Anker that are really really cool. They are 30 watts 60 watt PD chargers. They've even got one that's really small and flat. I love it. This design it's slig it's very portable. All of them are really portable and they can charge your smartphones or your laptops or your iPad if you have one. Those kind of things it covers the whole range in charging and I think they are really well priced with a maximum price I believe about you know $45 or 50 bucks or so for the 60 watt. So that makes a lot of sense in terms of charging. Now if you're looking for a portable speaker the one that I would totally suggest you pick up is the UE Boom, Wonder Boom 2. Wonder Boom 2 is a great portable speaker. You can pair it up with two Wonder Boom speakers if you want to give you some really loud sound small package and design. I think a lot of people will like you can put it in your backpack you can of course hang it on your bike wherever you take it with you and it's easy to go you don't need an app you can just pair with your smartphone where you're good to go it is loud it is really really loud. Take a quick listen and speaking of gaming laptops you definitely need a gaming mouse and nothing better than the Razer Viper which is an esports geared mouse super light really comfortable easy to use it's ambidextrous if you're left or right-handed you can use this mouse it's got eight programmable buttons it's got a drag-free cord this also has a high dpi of up to 16000 or 16k dpi actually an optical sensor really nice I love the movement and it's it's only 79 bucks you can't go wrong with it especially any of the laptops you pick up right there I think it's something you definitely want to actually pick up for back to school. Then of course there is the need for a portable power bank and nothing better than picking up something like this from Mofi this is the supreme drop of the Mofi power station XL now if you're able to pick it up sure this is great it's really cool because it's got a couple functionalities built into it you've got a Qi wireless charging right here on the top you can also charge via USB type C and of course via USB A this is really nice going to indicate it on the side as well if you can't find it then you can also get the regular power station XL they've got a lot of options available one thing I like about Mofi is it's it's been really reliable the last quite a while and it's not something that dies off after six months so definitely worth picking up if you can get it on the market. Now finally something that everybody needs for back to school is the backpack and nothing better than the solo new york nomad navigate backpack I love this because it's a very compact backpack it looks small but you can take up to a 17 inch laptop you can put in any of those laptops you've seen in this video you can throw in your speakers you can throw in your tablet it's got enough space to throw in all the things and even some clothes too you've got side satchels to put in your water bottle and there's enough space to carry all the things you need that's what I like it only resource of about 79 bucks solid backpack to fit all your needs for going back to school so I want to say thank you very much guys for watching this video I also thank all my youtube friends again Matthew Moniz gameski and Flossy Carter definitely check out their channels subscribe to them if you haven't already they've got some really great stuff and if you want to pick out any of the things you've seen in this video use our links down below we've got the most stated out for you so you can get your back to school purchases and get them on time anyway guys thank you very much we will go back to more videos on the galaxy note 10 plus and other new smartphones for you to check out but I wanted to drop something that you would be useful for you this uh back to school period so stunned at you saying thank you very much don't forget to like share subscribe and always enjoy your entertainment
