00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:01.920
Full-size desktops are great

00:00:01.920 --> 00:00:04.680
for playing the latest AAA games at high frame rates,

00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:08.000
or if you need the extra muscle for video editing,

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:11.320
3D rendering, or computer-assisted design.

00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:15.530
But if we're being honest, for most people,

00:00:15.530 --> 00:00:17.950
a thin and light basic laptop

00:00:17.950 --> 00:00:19.970
is more than enough these days

00:00:19.970 --> 00:00:23.370
and comes with the extra benefits of portability

00:00:23.370 --> 00:00:27.180
and convenience that you simply don't get with a desktop.

00:00:27.180 --> 00:00:30.900
The real bummer is when you end up having to buy both,

00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:34.500
a desktop for your gaming or your heavy work

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:37.380
and a laptop for when you're out and about.

00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:40.960
I mean, why bother having two full CPUs

00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:42.740
installed on two motherboards

00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:46.610
when you can only really use one at a time?

00:00:46.610 --> 00:00:48.450
If only there was a solution

00:00:48.450 --> 00:00:50.490
where just by plugging one cable

00:00:50.490 --> 00:00:52.490
into that laptop you already own,

00:00:52.490 --> 00:00:55.510
you could extend it with a full-size desktop,

00:00:55.510 --> 00:00:58.110
all the peripherals and expansion you could want,

00:00:58.110 --> 00:01:01.380
and even a powerful graphics card.

00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:03.320
And I mean, while I'm dreaming,

00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.700
what if wireless charging was simply built

00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:08.080
right into a desk?

00:01:08.080 --> 00:01:12.170
Oh, wait, it is.

00:01:12.170 --> 00:01:13.990
And we did all that stuff.

00:01:13.990 --> 00:01:17.130
And we're gonna show you exactly how it works

00:01:17.130 --> 00:01:20.490
after this message from our sponsor, Origin.

00:01:20.490 --> 00:01:23.570
Origin PC builds custom desktops,

00:01:23.570 --> 00:01:24.470
like this one over here

00:01:24.470 --> 00:01:26.470
that we were actually using for a video earlier,

00:01:26.470 --> 00:01:29.610
and laptops with free 24-7 lifetime tech support

00:01:29.610 --> 00:01:30.450
and high-quality components,

00:01:30.450 --> 00:01:30.570
and laptops with free 24-7 lifetime tech support,

00:01:30.570 --> 00:01:30.650
and laptops with free 24-7 lifetime tech support,

00:01:30.650 --> 00:01:34.310
like Samsung's 970 EVO and M.2 SSD.

00:01:34.310 --> 00:01:46.200
Check them out at the link in the video description.

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.880
So step zero for making your very own

00:01:48.880 --> 00:01:52.160
one cable desk dock thing

00:01:52.160 --> 00:01:54.360
is having a compatible laptop.

00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:56.760
You don't get dual 4K monitors,

00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.500
10 gig file transfers,

00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:01.060
and 85 watts of charging

00:02:01.060 --> 00:02:04.360
through a regular old micro USB port and cable.

00:02:04.360 --> 00:02:05.940
No, for this to work,

00:02:05.940 --> 00:02:09.540
you need a laptop with at least one Thunderbolt 3 port.

00:02:09.540 --> 00:02:12.560
And we would strongly recommend finding one

00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:16.700
that has a four by PCI express lane interface.

00:02:16.700 --> 00:02:21.200
So Thunderbolt 3 looks like a normal USB type C port,

00:02:21.200 --> 00:02:25.480
except for this little lightning bolt emblem

00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:27.320
that isn't even always there.

00:02:27.320 --> 00:02:28.560
So the Thunderbolt 3 port

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.420
on our 2018 Razer Blade Stealth, for example,

00:02:31.420 --> 00:02:33.640
is totally unmarked.

00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:35.420
If you need to double check your device,

00:02:35.420 --> 00:02:36.620
you can always search for it

00:02:36.620 --> 00:02:39.020
on the Thunderbolt Technology website.

00:02:39.020 --> 00:02:39.740
Now, for the most important part,

00:02:39.740 --> 00:02:43.160
for step one, plan your layout.

00:02:43.160 --> 00:02:45.580
At a minimum, your desktop is going to need

00:02:45.580 --> 00:02:48.980
a Thunderbolt 3 hub for everything to run through.

00:02:48.980 --> 00:02:51.340
Luckily for us, CalDigit was kind enough

00:02:51.340 --> 00:02:54.240
to send us their flagship TS3 Plus,

00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.740
which can provide 85 watts of power.

00:02:56.740 --> 00:02:58.960
That's enough to charge a MacBook Pro.

00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:01.520
And it's got enough ports for your peripherals,

00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:05.320
wired internet, and a 10 gigabit external drive.

00:03:05.320 --> 00:03:08.620
Oh, also up to two 4K monitors.

00:03:08.620 --> 00:03:09.740
Now, you could just get a 4K monitor,

00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:11.120
get a device like this,

00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.680
and call it a day with no other parts necessary.

00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.600
But to make our setup really special,

00:03:17.600 --> 00:03:20.880
we wanted to add an external graphics card enclosure

00:03:20.880 --> 00:03:24.940
so that our desktop not only makes our laptop easier to use

00:03:24.940 --> 00:03:27.500
with a monitor and peripherals and, you know,

00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:28.860
lots of ports and all that,

00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:32.500
but also substantially more powerful.

00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:35.640
So that ended up making things a bit more complicated.

00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:39.720
For starters, while Thunderbolt 3 does support daisy chain,

00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:42.820
up to six devices off of a single port,

00:03:42.820 --> 00:03:46.120
you can't just plug your graphics card into your dock.

00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.660
Unless your eGPU is the first device in the chain,

00:03:49.660 --> 00:03:52.300
you'll get awful latency at best,

00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:57.060
and at worst, random crashes or total non-functionality.

00:03:57.060 --> 00:04:00.440
Okay, so we just switch the order then, right?

00:04:00.440 --> 00:04:05.700
Laptop to eGPU, eGPU to dock, oh.

00:04:05.860 --> 00:04:10.280
So at the time of writing, the odds of your eGPU having two ports

00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.780
on it for daisy chaining are pretty low.

00:04:12.780 --> 00:04:16.100
The only options we're aware of are the Blackmagic eGPU,

00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:19.160
which only works with Macs, the Akitio Node Duo,

00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:21.440
which is designed to hold two cards,

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:24.260
but at only half the bandwidth each,

00:04:24.260 --> 00:04:26.480
and the Akitio Node Pro,

00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:28.820
which is exactly what we ended up using.

00:04:28.820 --> 00:04:33.460
It solves our problems, but it has a gotcha.

00:04:33.460 --> 00:04:37.980
Even though our TS3 Plus hub can deliver 85 watts of power,

00:04:37.980 --> 00:04:40.280
your laptop only receives power

00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:43.980
from the device that it is directly connected to.

00:04:43.980 --> 00:04:46.320
So in our case, that's the Node Pro,

00:04:46.320 --> 00:04:48.940
whose Thunderbolt 3 ports can only deliver

00:04:48.940 --> 00:04:51.360
up to 60 watts of power.

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.020
So machines with higher power demands,

00:04:54.020 --> 00:04:57.760
like the MacBook Pro, could end up trickle charging.

00:04:57.760 --> 00:05:00.280
Fortunately for us, that is not the case

00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:04.920
for my Blade Stealth 2017, so our journey continues.

00:05:04.920 --> 00:05:07.700
Step two then, choose a suitable desk.

00:05:07.700 --> 00:05:10.280
As you can see, our finished desk dock

00:05:10.280 --> 00:05:12.580
is completely stealthed,

00:05:12.580 --> 00:05:14.520
meaning that even though it's got

00:05:14.520 --> 00:05:18.040
integrated wireless charging and a freaking graphics card,

00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.400
you can't see either of those things

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:21.960
when you're sitting at the desk.

00:05:21.960 --> 00:05:24.400
And that is only possible because of the planning

00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:26.300
that we did back in step one.

00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:28.600
So we limited our options to ones

00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.380
with enough cabinet space and thickness

00:05:31.380 --> 00:05:34.480
to contain all of our devices and our cables,

00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.520
with obvious cable management runs for bonus points.

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:39.480
This one fit the bill nicely,

00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.300
and we're mostly thrilled

00:05:41.300 --> 00:05:43.960
with how the finished product looks.

00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:47.020
But we're gonna stop short of a recommendation here

00:05:47.020 --> 00:05:48.700
because the desk's build quality

00:05:48.700 --> 00:05:50.120
is a bit of a disappointment.

00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.000
It's basically Ikea level.

00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.240
It even uses the same dowels and hardware,

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:56.700
but it was at least twice what you'd expect to pay

00:05:56.700 --> 00:05:58.200
at the blue and yellow store.

00:05:58.200 --> 00:06:00.240
And it is full of little oversights,

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.480
like these holes here that aren't even big enough

00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:07.600
to accommodate the screws that are included with the desk.

00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.280
Now it's time for power tools.

00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.860
Step three is to hide the eGPU inside the desk somehow.

00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:16.740
Our desk arrived before our eGPU did,

00:06:16.740 --> 00:06:18.780
but the on paper specs indicated

00:06:18.780 --> 00:06:21.920
that it was just a bit smaller than the cabinet.

00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.160
That is as long as the drawers weren't in the way.

00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.040
So we made room by shortening the drawers.

00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.880
This created an empty space at the back of the cabinet

00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:31.720
while maintaining the original look.

00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:34.200
And what's really cool is that these drawers

00:06:34.200 --> 00:06:37.120
can still be used to hold a couple of pens

00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:39.400
or like a single banana.

00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:41.200
When it actually arrived though,

00:06:41.200 --> 00:06:43.900
we did find out that once you accounted for cables

00:06:43.900 --> 00:06:47.000
and drawer rails, there really wasn't enough room

00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.440
for the giant eGPU chassis.

00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:52.500
Fortunately, we were able to extract the parts that matter

00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:56.380
and then prop them up on a janky frame made out of scrap wood

00:06:56.380 --> 00:06:59.240
that did fit inside the hollowed cabinet.

00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.480
One more thing, we learned from our last desk project

00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.980
that cooling is super important.

00:07:04.980 --> 00:07:08.480
So we used a hole saw to bore a four fan breezeway,

00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:09.540
then used fan splitters

00:07:09.540 --> 00:07:12.020
to connect our fans to the single fan header

00:07:12.020 --> 00:07:15.260
that was already on the Node Pros PCB.

00:07:15.260 --> 00:07:19.300
Step three was installing an invisible wireless charger.

00:07:19.300 --> 00:07:22.000
Now the original plan here was to simply cut

00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.800
a charging pad sized hole in the top of the desk

00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.300
and then have the exposed pad kind of poking through.

00:07:28.300 --> 00:07:29.280
But then we remembered,

00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:33.500
hey, we have a giant CNC router and an Alex.

00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:37.520
So he programmed a basic design, including a cable channel.

00:07:37.520 --> 00:07:39.460
And after a couple of test cuts to make sure

00:07:39.460 --> 00:07:42.920
that this low quality chipboard didn't just explode

00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:44.380
on contact with the blade,

00:07:44.380 --> 00:07:47.320
we were able to carve out a recess for the charging pad

00:07:47.320 --> 00:07:49.420
to nest into from the bottom,

00:07:49.420 --> 00:07:51.700
leaving the surface of the desk intact,

00:07:51.700 --> 00:07:53.460
but as thin as possible

00:07:53.460 --> 00:07:56.360
to maximize the charging pad's effectiveness.

00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:58.220
Then we added these classy dots

00:07:58.220 --> 00:08:00.140
to show you where the heck the thing is.

00:08:00.140 --> 00:08:01.500
Cool, right?

00:08:01.500 --> 00:08:04.560
Step four was mounting the Thunderbolt 3 hub.

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:06.960
So the TS3 Plus has IO on the front

00:08:06.960 --> 00:08:08.900
that we wanted to be able to access.

00:08:09.460 --> 00:08:11.400
And the TS3 Plus has IO on the back

00:08:11.400 --> 00:08:13.280
that we wanted to be able to access.

00:08:13.280 --> 00:08:15.460
So we had to use Velcro tape on the top

00:08:15.460 --> 00:08:17.700
to mount it to the underside of the desk.

00:08:17.700 --> 00:08:20.700
This gives us both a discreet, slick looking finish

00:08:20.700 --> 00:08:23.400
and the ability to pull the device off easily

00:08:23.400 --> 00:08:25.340
instead of contorting our spines

00:08:25.340 --> 00:08:27.960
in the event that we need to plug something into the back.

00:08:27.960 --> 00:08:30.340
Step five, cable management.

00:08:30.340 --> 00:08:33.340
Our desk did come with cable management holes in the middle,

00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:35.020
but we added a few more of our own

00:08:35.020 --> 00:08:36.720
so that we could route all of the cables

00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.460
from the inside of the desk and the cabinet,

00:08:39.460 --> 00:08:41.600
and the table leg.

00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:42.980
Once you're done then,

00:08:42.980 --> 00:08:46.260
the only loose cable that you should ever have to interact

00:08:46.260 --> 00:08:48.820
with is the Thunderbolt 3 cable

00:08:48.820 --> 00:08:50.160
that you plug into your machine.

00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:51.320
And this is cool.

00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.600
It can actually go on either side of this divider down here,

00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:56.940
thanks to the hole that we drilled at the back.

00:08:56.940 --> 00:09:00.320
That means that it doesn't matter which side of your device

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.400
your Thunderbolt 3 port is on.

00:09:02.400 --> 00:09:03.380
So that's how we did it,

00:09:03.380 --> 00:09:04.920
but let me show you guys how it works.

00:09:04.920 --> 00:09:07.580
So first, I have to configure my laptop

00:09:07.580 --> 00:09:09.500
to not go to sleep when I close the lid.

00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:11.360
Obviously, I could have set up the desk

00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:13.240
so that the laptop goes here,

00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:14.640
and then it just stays open

00:09:14.640 --> 00:09:16.920
and I could use it as a second monitor or whatever else,

00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:20.300
but we were going for the cleanest setup.

00:09:20.300 --> 00:09:22.580
So once it's powered,

00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:24.220
I can go ahead and close the lid

00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:26.240
and it's not gonna go to sleep.

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:27.940
You can just kinda tuck it in there.

00:09:27.940 --> 00:09:31.700
Now we give it like somewhere between five and 10 seconds,

00:09:31.700 --> 00:09:34.400
and our monitor should come to life.

00:09:34.400 --> 00:09:39.740
Our peripherals should, come on baby, start working.

00:09:39.740 --> 00:09:40.040
There we go.

00:09:40.040 --> 00:09:42.260
And check this out.

00:09:42.260 --> 00:09:45.670
If I hop over to device manager,

00:09:45.670 --> 00:09:47.130
we might even be able to catch it showing up here.

00:09:47.130 --> 00:09:48.390
Nope, it's already there.

00:09:48.390 --> 00:09:51.630
GeForce GTX 1080 TI.

00:09:51.630 --> 00:09:55.170
So because this is a quad core Ultrabook,

00:09:55.170 --> 00:09:58.150
that means that we are actually in a position

00:09:58.150 --> 00:10:02.330
where we can play AAA level games on our Ultrabook

00:10:02.330 --> 00:10:03.510
just with this one cable.

00:10:03.510 --> 00:10:08.440
So I'm gonna go ahead and fire up Rise of the Tomb Raider.

00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:09.620
One other really cool thing

00:10:09.620 --> 00:10:10.900
that I don't actually have set up here

00:10:10.900 --> 00:10:14.460
is that with some of the other high-speed USB ports

00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:16.660
on the back of this CalDigit device,

00:10:16.660 --> 00:10:19.780
you could also do something like have a high-speed

00:10:19.780 --> 00:10:23.340
either SSD or hard drive that you've got pre-attached

00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:25.340
and then just like, I don't know, taped to the top

00:10:25.340 --> 00:10:27.700
or even just hanging out back there,

00:10:27.700 --> 00:10:29.460
like plugged into something like this.

00:10:29.460 --> 00:10:30.460
And then what would happen is

00:10:30.460 --> 00:10:32.920
even if you didn't have a ton of storage on your laptop,

00:10:32.920 --> 00:10:35.280
you could plug it in and boom,

00:10:35.280 --> 00:10:38.840
your Steam library with hundreds of gigabytes of games

00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:40.820
would automatically be remapped.

00:10:40.820 --> 00:10:41.820
And then accessible to you.

00:10:41.820 --> 00:10:44.980
That's something that actually already works fairly well.

00:10:44.980 --> 00:10:48.040
So let's go ahead and continue our game here.

00:10:48.040 --> 00:10:51.620
So this is Rise of the Tomb Raider running at mostly high.

00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:53.120
I've got motion blur disabled

00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:55.580
and a couple of other things that I just kind of prefer.

00:10:55.580 --> 00:11:00.580
But this is that mostly high details running at 75,

00:11:01.020 --> 00:11:03.620
70 to 75 frames per second.

00:11:03.620 --> 00:11:05.580
And the coolest thing about it is actually something

00:11:05.580 --> 00:11:07.460
that probably won't be obvious

00:11:07.460 --> 00:11:08.980
to you guys watching right now.

00:11:08.980 --> 00:11:09.820
And that's this.

00:11:09.820 --> 00:11:10.820
So my microphone's right here.

00:11:10.820 --> 00:11:15.900
It's basically silent.

00:11:15.900 --> 00:11:18.120
So for peace of mind, next time around,

00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.780
I'd probably put an 80 millimeter fan in the back

00:11:20.780 --> 00:11:23.780
and just have it draw some air across the laptop.

00:11:23.780 --> 00:11:25.400
But honestly, we left it running

00:11:25.400 --> 00:11:28.240
for over an hour yesterday in a game

00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.880
and our CPU never hit above 65 degrees.

00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:32.080
So it was chilly in our warehouse,

00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.930
but basically at room temperature,

00:11:34.930 --> 00:11:37.010
you'd never see above about 75.

00:11:37.010 --> 00:11:39.530
And then our GPU stayed downright frosty

00:11:39.530 --> 00:11:42.390
with all those cooling fans circulating air in the cabinet.

00:11:42.390 --> 00:11:45.330
Honestly, the loudest fan in this thing

00:11:45.330 --> 00:11:47.410
is the one in the included power supply

00:11:47.410 --> 00:11:49.150
from the Akitio Node Pro.

00:11:49.150 --> 00:11:51.890
So to do it again, I do the cooling fan

00:11:51.890 --> 00:11:54.190
and then probably swap out that power supply.

00:11:54.190 --> 00:11:56.170
Silverstone has some really great options

00:11:56.170 --> 00:11:58.570
for semi silent units.

00:11:58.570 --> 00:12:00.130
They've got like an 800 watt

00:12:00.130 --> 00:12:01.690
that I think the fan only turns on

00:12:01.690 --> 00:12:04.450
if you draw over like two or 300 watts of power.

00:12:04.450 --> 00:12:06.710
So something like that would make this whole setup,

00:12:06.710 --> 00:12:10.770
not just stealthy to the eye, but also stealthy to the ear.

00:12:10.770 --> 00:12:11.610
All right.

00:12:11.610 --> 00:12:12.750
Well, because we kind of have to,

00:12:12.750 --> 00:12:16.010
let's fire up Fortnite and have a look at what it thinks

00:12:16.010 --> 00:12:18.570
will be the ideal settings for our system here.

00:12:18.570 --> 00:12:19.450
50% off what?

00:12:19.450 --> 00:12:20.670
Do I have to pay for that?

00:12:20.670 --> 00:12:21.650
You gotta be kidding me.

00:12:21.650 --> 00:12:25.760
What is this?

00:12:25.760 --> 00:12:29.160
So it has defaulted us to our,

00:12:29.160 --> 00:12:32.980
I don't know why there's a frame rate limit.

00:12:32.980 --> 00:12:33.820
You know what?

00:12:33.820 --> 00:12:35.780
I'm just gonna do this myself.

00:12:35.780 --> 00:12:36.780
Motion blur, off.

00:12:36.780 --> 00:12:39.580
No, God, why would anyone want that?

00:12:39.580 --> 00:12:41.920
All right, not bad.

00:12:41.920 --> 00:12:44.260
So we're running in the neighborhood

00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:46.680
70 to 80 FPS.

00:12:46.680 --> 00:12:48.840
I've seen dips down to 55 or 60.

00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.570
Let's go ahead and jump out of the battle bus here.

00:12:51.570 --> 00:12:56.190
Yep, so around 50 at the lowest as we're falling.

00:12:56.190 --> 00:12:57.950
So I could probably improve that

00:12:57.950 --> 00:12:59.690
by dropping a couple things down to medium,

00:12:59.690 --> 00:13:01.770
but overall, very playable.

00:13:01.770 --> 00:13:04.750
And remember, this is at 3840 by 1600 resolution

00:13:04.750 --> 00:13:08.120
running off of a laptop CPU.

00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:09.900
Super impressed.

00:13:09.900 --> 00:13:12.380
I mean, I could take his plane, right?

00:13:12.380 --> 00:13:13.220
Yeah.

00:13:13.220 --> 00:13:15.210
Wee!

00:13:15.210 --> 00:13:17.540
Bye loser.

00:13:18.140 --> 00:13:19.940
I'm definitely getting a little bit of chop

00:13:19.940 --> 00:13:20.940
that I wouldn't be expecting.

00:13:20.940 --> 00:13:22.880
I think there's a little bit more tuning required

00:13:22.880 --> 00:13:27.000
to get this running as smoothly as I would expect

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:28.840
for the FPS that we're getting.

00:13:32.820 --> 00:13:33.660
We gotta get out of here.

00:13:33.660 --> 00:13:34.500
We gotta get out of here.

00:13:34.500 --> 00:13:35.880
Oh, damn.

00:13:35.880 --> 00:13:39.000
So maybe a couple more things to tweak here.

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:41.240
Now that I've seen this fall down once,

00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.440
some kind of reinforcement so it stays in place better.

00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:46.640
Probably a good idea.

00:13:46.640 --> 00:13:49.500
Also, using a mouse directly on a desk surface

00:13:49.500 --> 00:13:50.460
is not something I'd recommend.

00:13:50.460 --> 00:13:53.700
If we had thought for certain

00:13:53.700 --> 00:13:55.760
that there was no way we were gonna damage the table,

00:13:55.760 --> 00:13:57.560
what we would have really wanted to do

00:13:57.560 --> 00:14:00.760
was route out exactly the shape of a mouse pad

00:14:00.760 --> 00:14:02.640
and then have it recessed in the table.

00:14:02.640 --> 00:14:04.800
That's something we'd probably wanna do on a V2,

00:14:04.800 --> 00:14:07.480
but I mean, other than that,

00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:09.060
I'm super proud of the result here.

00:14:09.060 --> 00:14:13.760
I gave James the task of creating the cleanest setup,

00:14:13.760 --> 00:14:18.820
bar none, and as far as I'm concerned, mission accomplished.

00:14:18.820 --> 00:14:20.680
I think the only thing left now

00:14:20.680 --> 00:14:22.780
is maybe to do like an updated version

00:14:22.780 --> 00:14:26.940
for our MacBook user viewers

00:14:26.940 --> 00:14:29.220
with maybe a couple of the tweaks that we've talked about,

00:14:29.220 --> 00:14:30.700
but we'll see.

00:14:30.700 --> 00:14:31.620
Let us know in the comments

00:14:31.620 --> 00:14:33.720
if you'd like to see a follow-up.

00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:35.080
And now I wanna thank our sponsor

00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:36.820
for today's video, Massdrop.

00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:38.800
They collaborated with Koss

00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:42.160
to bring their original 1984 design

00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:45.440
and update it to make it modern and durable

00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:46.380
while remaining light.

00:14:46.380 --> 00:14:48.060
So these are portable on-ear headphones that can be used,

00:14:48.060 --> 00:14:50.900
that can be folded up in different configurations

00:14:50.900 --> 00:14:53.220
to make them compact for easy storage.

00:14:53.220 --> 00:14:58.130
They use oxygen-free copper voice coils

00:14:58.130 --> 00:15:01.050
for great audio and a warm, smooth experience,

00:15:01.050 --> 00:15:03.410
and the single-button control lets you skip tracks,

00:15:03.410 --> 00:15:05.770
make calls, and activate voice commands

00:15:05.770 --> 00:15:07.610
through the noise-canceling mic.

00:15:07.610 --> 00:15:09.910
It's backed by Koss's lifetime warranty,

00:15:09.910 --> 00:15:11.410
and you can join the drop today

00:15:11.410 --> 00:15:14.230
and grab yourself a pair of these for $37.99

00:15:14.230 --> 00:15:16.270
at the link in the video description.

00:15:16.270 --> 00:15:17.670
So thanks for watching, guys.

00:15:17.670 --> 00:15:19.410
If you disliked this video,

00:15:19.410 --> 00:15:20.470
you can hit that button.

00:15:20.470 --> 00:15:22.950
But if you liked it, hit like, get subscribed,

00:15:22.950 --> 00:15:23.970
or maybe consider checking out

00:15:23.970 --> 00:15:25.470
where to buy the stuff we featured

00:15:25.470 --> 00:15:27.350
at the link in the video description.

00:15:27.350 --> 00:15:28.610
Also down there is our merch store,

00:15:28.610 --> 00:15:30.690
which has cool shirts like the one I'm wearing,

00:15:30.690 --> 00:15:33.230
and our community forum, which you should totally join.

00:15:33.230 --> 00:15:36.430
And yes, the animation smoothness is way better

00:15:36.430 --> 00:15:38.390
as soon as I dropped the render resolution

00:15:38.390 --> 00:15:39.530
down a little bit.

00:15:39.530 --> 00:15:44.440
I think it was just struggling a bit at basically 4K.
