00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:06,040
how does one even begin to review a chair I mean computer stuff no problem

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:10,200
for us we've got a review of silverstone's awesome looking F5 case

3
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:14,160
coming soon make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss that but a chair well

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,360
I guess today's video is just going to be a little different then isn't

5
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:26,880
it Cooler Master nepton Series CPU

6
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:32,119
coolers are available in a variety of radiator sizes to perfectly suit your

7
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,320
next build click now to learn more we'll

8
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:38,160
start with the shopping experience color selection was easy all their chairs look

9
00:00:36,559 --> 00:00:41,239
pretty freaking awesome actually and I went with an orange and black color

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:45,800
scheme very similar to the Linus techtips one model selection though was

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:51,800
where things got a little bit tougher they have DX racer chairs listed on the

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:55,160
need for seat site but the model names don't correspond to the ones on DX

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,840
Racer's own website in any meaningful way and when I contacted DX racer about

14
00:00:57,359 --> 00:01:03,079
the naming and visual similarities between the products they denied any

15
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:08,280
affiliation so I settled on Need for seat's own max nomic line which based on

16
00:01:06,159 --> 00:01:12,520
the tear down on their site versus copycat chairs looks pretty freaking

17
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:16,040
awesome you should check out the tear down by the way if you get a chance I

18
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:19,799
didn't want to cut up my chair because I plan on using it for years to come but

19
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:24,079
if their point is the difference in materials and construction that you get

20
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:28,720
for an extra $100 versus a lookalike is worth it then it comes across very well

21
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:32,600
the unboxing and assembly process only took about a half an hour even though I

22
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:36,720
did it myself and the manual suggests getting a helper speaking of which the

23
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:40,079
manual is full color and I was really pleased with it until I got to the part

24
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:44,320
where it broke the news to me that this is not in fact a sex chair I tried

25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:49,240
pretty hard not to hold that against the chair when I was doing my sitting

26
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:51,159
benchmarks but no promises onto the

27
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:55,719
evaluation of the chair I'll start with my past experience I've got a 100ish

28
00:01:53,759 --> 00:02:00,759
doll IKEA chair that I use at the office every day a $2 200ish leather Costco

29
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,399
chair that I use at home every day and now I have a$ 300 plus doll chair so the

30
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:10,679
angle I'll be tackling this from is what do you get in terms of extra features

31
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,400
and comfort as you spend more money

32
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:17,599
height adjust is pretty standard these days and while the gas lift on the max

33
00:02:14,519 --> 00:02:19,519
nomic only moves about 3 in I found that

34
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:24,840
even when it's bottomed out you don't get that rock hard feeling as you plunk

35
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:28,400
down into it so it's got a wider usable range than my other chairs where I have

36
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:32,959
to leave a bit of an air cushion at the bottom at all times I did find the lever

37
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:36,519
a bit tough to reach compared to the other designs though and on that note

38
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,800
this seems like a good time to check out the other levers that are down here the

39
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,519
one on the left is a lean lock but I left this off because there's a knob on

40
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:48,239
the bottom that you can turn to adjust the tension of the lean so I set it up

41
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,200
so that it was basically impossible for me to lean the chair accidentally but

42
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:56,360
easy to do it on purpose with my feet up under my desk the way I sometimes like

43
00:02:53,959 --> 00:03:00,760
to sit when I'm writing the last lever is back over on the right and controls

44
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:05,319
the recline feature it's a little disconcerting at first being able to

45
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:09,200
lean so far back in a chair but even with the stock base they have a heavier

46
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:13,599
Duty one I didn't feel like there was any risk of me falling over it's got

47
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:19,519
like 12 steps four of which at the beginning are completely unusable see

48
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:23,159
like really and then combined with the included head pillow I'd say it's

49
00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:28,040
legitimately comfortable enough to sleep in if you're into that and you're alone

50
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:33,040
which leads us to overall Comfort I usually don't do 8 hour Marathon sits

51
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:36,720
but even since I've gotten it I've had a couple days where I've been sitting for

52
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,799
3 plus hours at a time and that's where I often run into trouble with my buns

53
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:44,879
falling asleep in my other chairs because when I've gone shopping for

54
00:03:42,799 --> 00:03:48,959
chairs in the past I've looked for soft cushioning and the problem with the

55
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:53,000
chairs I buy is that after half an hour to an hour you're basically sitting on

56
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,920
the plywood inner material because the cushion is so easy to push through while

57
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:03,079
the Dominator doesn't feel like sitting on a cloud or anything the cushion is so

58
00:04:00,519 --> 00:04:08,040
thick and has enough strength to it that even though it's not goose down I can't

59
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:12,519
get through it to the inner structure so there's always some padding which

60
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,280
allowed my buns to stay awake much better and I also found that sitting on

61
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:21,959
something that's comfortable but not soft made my sitting position naturally

62
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:26,360
better somehow I mean I'm still not Percy perfect posture by any stretch but

63
00:04:24,479 --> 00:04:30,440
small improvements can add up to a lot when you spend a long time in your chair

64
00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:34,199
I didn't find their Lumber bar support pillow that useful because it moved

65
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,320
around a fair bit when I got up and sat back down on the chair but the chair is

66
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:42,880
plenty comfortable without it anyway and I did find the headrest one was a little

67
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,440
bit more useful onto the armrests they're kind of awesome actually they

68
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:50,600
have a ton of adjustments they can go up and down they can go if I can find all

69
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:55,479
these buttons in real time here they can go side to side whatever we'll do this

70
00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:00,520
in b roll they can go side to side they can be angled in and out and they can go

71
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,880
forward and back it's a feature I normally don't find myself using much

72
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:08,000
these adjustments you just kind of set it and forget it but with how quick it

73
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:12,680
is to adjust particularly the height I actually found myself raising my mouse

74
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:16,400
ARM so I'd have a nice flat again cushioned but not overly comfortable

75
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:20,240
platform to rest my elbow on then tucking them down and moving my chair in

76
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,360
whenever I needed to do some serious typing again little ergonomic

77
00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:28,800
improvements that help over time speaking of time I guess it's conclusion

78
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:33,560
time the worst thing about this chair has got to be the shopping experience

79
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:38,000
need for seat needs to add a comparison tool or a shopping helper wizard to

80
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:42,000
their site because for most people the differences in features will not be the

81
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:46,880
main deciding factor and getting the size and weight suggestions right will

82
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:50,759
be more important their less expensive casual sport model may have actually

83
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:55,240
been a better fit for me but I didn't realize that until after this one had

84
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:59,039
already arrived in spite of it being a little bit big for me though it's very

85
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:02,680
comfortable and even though it uses fake leather rather other than natural

86
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,560
leather the inside materials make up for this in my mind and I'll be using this

87
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:10,440
chair as my new daily driver at work but the real test of course will be what we

88
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:13,960
go with when it's time to equip everyone in the office with better chairs so stay

89
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:18,280
tuned because we want to try out some other options and once we've made a

90
00:06:16,039 --> 00:06:22,800
decision we will definitely update you guys with another final video speaking

95
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:44,280
