College Tech ESSENTIALS

Welcome back to BeastTechnology! As a fellow college kid, I'm going to make a list of the tech you NEED to survive in college! I'll be looking at qualities of products based on a value perspective, where us poor college students can get the most BANG for our BUCK. Laptop: 2020 MacBook Air This one is an easy recommendation. The M1 chip packs all the power you need, with a battery life that will last all day long! The keyboard is fantastic for writing papers on, and the webcam is perfect for Zoom calls that have become the norm for college nowadays. The form factor is great, so light and fits right in your backpack. Not to mention, the price of this laptop is an absolute bargain. Regularly on sale on Amazon, you cannot find a better price for a MacBook. At under a thousand dollars, this is an absolute steal of a deal. Be sure to steer clear of the Intel 2020 MacBook Air, as for a little more money the M1 MacBook Air is worth the upgrade. Headphones: Apple AirPods Pro The bes...

Is Philips Hue RIPPING you off?

Let's face the elephant in the room, Philips Hue lights are absolutely otherworldly expensive. There is no way around it, with an entry price starting at hundreds of dollars. I recently have "invested" into a decent Philips hue setup, and while my wallet is hurting, my eyes are left sparkling! Here is a rundown of my setup: Hue Bridge 2 Hue Play Light Bars Hue Gradient Table Lamp I have 3 lights in total, and for those 3 lights I spent about $300. Looking back on it, $100 per light is an awful lot. However, the features that are packed in is what makes it worth the Hue tax. We have the Hue hub which gives us full access to the Hue app and Apple HomeKit, so I can program my Hue lights into scenes and automations with all of my existing HomeKit devices ( See my Nanoleaf lights ). I also have used the desktop app to mirror my screen, and while normal use just displays my wallpaper through the lights, watching movies or video with the mirroring turned on is truly an ...

Nanoleaf Shapes

Boy do I love smart lights! And Nanoleaf is one of my favorite brands. I recently purchased the Nanoleaf hexagon light panels and they bring such a great vibe to my room. I use them almost constantly, always changing the scenes to fit my mood. I also enjoy how they fit right in to the Apple HomeKit app. I can schedule automations for them to turn on with the rest of my HomeKit enabled devices, which is a huge plus compared to lesser brands of LED light panels. Another great thing about the Nanoleaf hexagons is that the adhesive strips they come with are very easily removable, which is great for college dorm rooms or college apartments! These lights are tremendously easy to install, and the included preview mode in the app lets you arrange your lights how you want them before you stick them onto your wall! I do recommend cleaning your wall first, as the adhesion will not work with dust on it (I learned this the hard way). Check out my affiliate link below to support the blog and ...
