- [Reviewer] Today I have a “what's in my bag?”
or, “what’s in my tech bag” video,
taking a look at my everyday carry items
from my backpack.
Designed in Zurich, the QWSTION Overnighter bag.
I purchased this bag myself,
not cheap, but I needed a quality tech bag for work.
Now, this bag doubles as a backpack,
which is a real party piece.
So let's show you that unique feature.
In its current configuration It's designed
to be an overnighter bag,
with handles at the top, and a shoulder strap.
We'll take a look at its internal space,
and my everyday carry items,
but first, watch as I transform this
into a great looking backpack.
This really gives you two bags, for the price of one.
I get to use this as a backpack when it suits me,
but when I take it to work,
I can make it appear more formal,
like a traditional business case.
They call this the detachable
one-for-two system shoulder strap.
Transforming your bag into a backpack is easy,
we detach the strap from either side,
now we're going to use the central metal buckle
which clips onto a very sturdy loop at the top.
Next we secure each of the loose ends
at a bottom corner.
The main material for the bag is 100% cotton,
with wax and PU coating,
and A PFC-free water repellent treatment.
If it's ok to ask,
please give a quick thumbs up, or down,
it helps me learn what content you like to see.
Even better, if you leave a comment for me, thank you.
Almost forgot, you have two padded supports
for each shoulder strap, if you want to use them.
You'll notice I use my bag in a strange way.
I don't actually use the dedicated laptop pouch.
I like to have my MacBook dead-center,
so it's protected more at either side.
They make an office bag variant, which is thinner,
but I always use a wider bag,
so that it will stand upright,
It's less likely to get trodden on, if its upright,
and of course you've got more space.
If I take some of my work stuff out of here,
we can see a purpose-designed padded compartment
for up to a 15 inch laptop MacBook or iPad.
My 13 inch MacBook Air
fits with lots of room to spare.
All of the internal lining is 100% organic cotton,
and has a CPF-free water repellent treatment.
By the way, all of the everyday carry items that follow,
and the bag,
are all items that I genuinely purchased myself.
No items were sent to me for free.
That way you get what I promised in the video title.
I do have affiliate links to some of the items only,
which are clearly marked in the video description.
That means if you buy an Item,
the channel can earn a small amount,
at no extra cost to yourself,
which helps support making new content.
So first of course, my 13-inch MacBook Air,
which I need every day.
With around 13 hours battery life,
I don't have to carry any charging cables,
even if I'm out for a couple of days.
You may have spotted the Bluetooth dongle,
which is for my Logitech mouse.
I don't tell my other mouse,
but this one is my favorite.
I can't use the MacBook trackpad very well,
and I really dislike the Apple mouse
which I find tracks too slowly,
and loses connectivity frequently.
When I'm doing a presentation for work
It has to work first time, every time,
or it costs me money.
This tiny Logitech mouse is extremely responsive,
like the mouse equivalent of a sports car.
I carry a Belkin mini DisplayPort to HDTV cable.
This displays your MacBook on a bigger screen.
This adapter has lasted nearly a full year now,
which you won't always get from a cheaper product.
This Belkin MacBook HDTV cable is six foot,
or 1.8 meters.
You have two internal pockets, I use one for pens,
and the other for a 30-meter tape,
not really tech items, so we'll ignore those.
Let's empty this main compartment,
and you can see the full 21.5 liter volume available,
making the QWSTION Overnighter bag
great for everyday use, or city trips,
with a spacious main compartment,
and/or room for your tech and gadgets.
We find my work phone
in one of the two internal zipped pockets.
I use an iPhone 6 Plus for my personal use,
and to shoot my YouTube videos.
And for work, I have this HTC Desire 826.
This allows me to keep my home life separate
from my business.
I like the HTC 826 because it's a similar size,
and spec, to my iPhone 6 Plus,
but this was around a fifth of the price,
making it a cheap second phone,
It's got dual SIM capability,
a 5.5 inch screen, it's quad-core,
and you can put up to
256 gigabyte micro SD card inside.
Next up, I've got the ANKER lightning cable.
These are great for lots of Apple devices,
including your iPad, iPhone, or iPod.
I hardly ever use this.
The only time I've run out of battery
with my iPhone 6,
is if I leave the Wi-Fi hotspot on by mistake,
but it's here if I need it,
and I especially like the tangle-proof,
double braided nylon, it's fantastic stuff.
There is generous space in each of the side pockets
for bulky items.
In here I've got...
more mouse's!
I carry a spare because if I leave home without one,
I have to buy one whilst I'm out,
or go all the way back home again.
There's a handy front pocket.
Here is where I keep a Faraday case for my car keys,
I haven't put a link to this product
because there's so many different types,
and they all do much the same thing very cheaply.
I proved the concept,
and demonstrated how these work,
in a recent video upload.
If you own a keyless entry car, or keyless start car,
pop your keys in one of these pouches,
and you won't be a victim of relay theft,
which is to hack your key fob,
allowing the car to be stolen without the keys.
Check out the video I made about that.
Next up my Flipside 4 wallet.
If you're a regular to my channel,
you'll know I review a lot of tech wallets,
and I could easily have shown you a wallet
where I have a rapport with the brand,
but I want it to be true to the video title,
and show you my actual everyday carry items.
I've got no association with this product.
I like it because it's great to use with its
flip over style organization.
It has RFID blocking,
to keep your digital information safe.
That keeps your contactless payment cards
safe from unwanted card skimming theft.
It has a crush-resistant, hard polymer case.
It's compact and smooth shape
makes it ideal for sliding into tight front pocket jeans.
You can see the full product review
of the Flipside 4 on my channel,
just check out the video cards description,
or the end screens.
Also in this front pocket,
I have the Nutt Mini Bluetooth tracker and key finder.
Together with its iOS and Android app,
it allows you to locate your keys,
or items it's attached to.
Only a few pounds, and with a replaceable battery,
it's definitely worth the tiny outlay
for one of these locators.
I also have a full video review of this product.
Please check that out.
Here's a great way to add some extra storage
to your MacBook Pro, or MacBook Air.
I've got the CNC-machined Ninja Stealth Drive.
It sits flush, so it's completely hidden
in your MacBook.
Basically, an adapter for a micro SDXC card,
it allows you to add up to another 400 gigabytes.
It's also available for the Microsoft Surface book,
and Dell XPS, I've got an extra 200 gigabytes here,
which almost doubles my MacBook Air storage,
and matches the exterior perfectly.
If you made it this far, thanks for watching.
Please check out some of the single item reviews
of the products featured, see ya.
