Gadgeteer Team EDC 2018 updates – Michael Strange

ARTICLE – I’m not the type of person who has a need for an EDC bag. However, I did have the occasion to use one a few months ago. I was shooting and editing a music video for a couple of friends and enlisted the use of a Belkin Classic Pro laptop backpack that I had reviewed for the Gadgeteer back in May.

The backpack was perfect for carrying everything I needed for the shoot. I was able to carry my 13” MacBook Pro and 10.5” iPad Pro, both of which I used for editing on the fly. I was also able to pack charging cords, my Apple Pencil, a portable hard drive, and a couple different size tripods. The backpack was the perfect companion for the 3-month shoot. I was easily able to transport what I needed and more importantly because of the backpacks padded interior, keep the contents safe.

As far as the EDC items I use every day, I never go anywhere without my iPhone Xs Max (which I love so far) and my Nike Edition Apple Watch.

Gadgeteer Team EDC 2018 updates – Elizabeth Rodriguez

It’s EDC time again! I tend to swap out a lot of what’s in my bag depending on what I’m doing that week. I commute to New York City from Long Island so I try to keep the backpack lightweight. Lately, I’ve been working on my web developer portfolio, so here’s what I bring:
My favorite bag is still the Incase Reform backpack. I reviewed this bag in 2015 and it’s still going strong! The contents inside are:
  • New 13″ MacBook Pro with touch bar and charger
  • Google Pixel 2 XL smartphone
  • Metallic rainbow business card holder (purchased from Blick Art stores) because hey, you never know who you meet!
  • Audio Technica ATH-SR5BT Bluetooth wireless headphones
  • Logitech MX Anywhere 2S Bluetooth/wireless mouse
  • Archer and Olive “Night Sky” dot grid notebook/bullet journal
  • Tons of pens and pencils that I swap out depending on mood
  • Freepeople studded leather wallet
  • Tortoise & Blonde eyeglasses
  • Inexpensive sunglasses in case the sun pops out
  • My book of the month for my book club. This month we’re reading Crazy Rich Asians
  • Little rubber duckie to help me debug code 🙂
