Hello, this is Swift 110 and today I decided I'm going to do something that you probably
heard over and over on Hacker Public Radio.
Pretty much what's in my bag.
I know it will be interesting, especially since today I managed to bring both of my laptops
to the library, but wait, there's more.
I got a lot of stuff in this bag.
Let's go ahead and start with the bag itself.
For one, the bag is one of those Timbub 2 Messenger bags that I bought, I'd say early.
I'm trying to think where I got it.
I don't know if it was the beginning of 2015 or 2014, in either event I've had this bag
for quite some time and it is able to stay in the test of time and I'm very happy with it.
In fact, I got it this around the same time I got my first Lenovo X201,
so that helps to give me a better idea when I got it.
I'll double check that.
But, talk about what's in the bag today.
Well, I have Lenovo X201.
This is not the first one that I purchased by the way.
I love the first one so much.
You know, the make the model of the Lenovo X201 that I decided to get him a twin.
And so here she is, whatever a twin.
It's another X201.
And yeah, so this is the second X201 that I purchased.
I would talk about the specs and whatnot, but I've either done that already or we'll do that,
so it's no need to do that now.
But, that Lenovo X201 laptop is in the bag today.
It weighs approximately three pounds, so it's much lighter than what I was carrying around before.
The Fujitsu Lifebook 42-15.
It's considerably light.
In fact, when I first started carrying it around in this bag,
I would often think that I left it at home by mistake and get upset.
Only to realize that I actually had the laptop.
That's how much lighter it is.
Especially makes a difference when you carry as much stuff around as I do.
So, this is not by any means a normal day.
Just sometimes out of sight, I want to have both laptops and do different things on them.
So, let's continue talking about that.
So, okay.
One laptop in here is the Lenovo X201.
That's about three pounds.
Complete with its power cord.
Gotta have that.
Have a core.
Now, of course, I also have the charging cables for both my Android phone and my iPad 3.
So, all my charging cables are in here.
I have a 5V USB adapter in case I want to use it for the phone or even my laptop.
I mean, my phone or even my iPad 3, by the way.
I just have it in here.
So, USB 5V charger there.
I have 5V adapter.
I mean, I mean, not mixed things up.
In addition to that, let me do it another way.
So, I have another laptop in here.
In this case, it's the Sony VIO VPC-E-B4-2 FM.
Yeah, that thing.
That's a 15.15 and a half inch screen laptop and it weighs about six pounds.
So, already 10 pounds were just the laptops in there by itself.
One of the laptops needs power, obviously.
Let me go ahead and take care of that.
Thankfully, I did remember this charger rather than that.
Have it die on me.
And as you probably figured out, I have a cold.
That's why my voice is absolutely torched.
But it's okay.
Nothing is.
Gonna make the biggest deal in the world.
Not really that bad off.
Believe me, my roommate is a lot worse off.
So, this is a good thing.
Well, for my sake, just for the sake of being selfish.
Now, I had to switch the head on the laptop charger that I have
because obviously Lenovo X201 and the Sony VIO do not use the same charging head.
The charger that I have for them is one of the ones that can have different heads
to fit different laptops.
And that makes it extremely versatile.
So glad I bought this.
I don't remember how long it was that I got it.
But try to think if it was, I don't know about five years ago,
but it's definitely been a few years that I've had it.
And it's serving very usefully over time.
Okay, so I got the charging cables.
I have the five volt adapter plugged into the wall.
They can be used for the iPad 3.
It can be used for my cell phone.
But wait, there's more.
I also have this here tablet.
I have an iPad 3 with me, by the way.
And I have this Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 light, this crappy tablet.
It's a Android tablet.
So that's here as well.
What else is in the bag?
Well, let's go ahead and see what else is in here.
I have a total of one, two, three,
four, five, six USB drives.
Ranging in sizes from six to,
ranges in ranging in sizes from 16 gigs to four.
I think I only have one four gig.
There either 16s or eight gigs USB drives.
And then I have an SD card that's in a USB drive adapter.
So that's there as well.
I think that's two gigs.
I also brought a little screwdriver in case I want to open up
either laptop, most likely the Lenovo.
I also have with me an iPod and iPod classic six iPod touch.
Yeah, an iPod classic six that's in there as well.
You heard me put it down.
And then I have a spare battery for the X201.
Obviously I could just put this extra battery in instead of plugging it up.
Then I could use that cable for the charging cable for the Sony Viola instead.
But I didn't think to do that and I probably won't.
Let's see if there's anything else in this bag.
I've already taken out quite a bit.
Is there anything else in here?
I think I'm a little done.
Yeah, so that's all that's in the bag.
But as you can see, a lot of technology that I carried around the day.
And it is.
Well, the only other thing in here is a wiping cloth.
It's a screen, wiper for the laptops, iPad, whatever.
So that's what's in my bag.
Hope you guys enjoyed and you have a great day.
