In this Q&A style episode, Marques Brownlee answers a variety of audience questions about technology trends, product design, and the philosophy of reviewing. He touches on the idea of future vlogging, clarifying that daily behind-the-scenes content would likely lack excitement, and explains the intent behind the What’s On series, which focuses on the tech and setups used by creative individuals rather than only YouTubers. He dives into the upcoming Mac Pro redesign, expressing anticipation for a modular, future-ready machine and noting how current driver support for Nvidia cards on macOS 10 is contributing to the excitement. The discussion also explores the Pixel 2 wishlist, arguing for a balance between strong performance and a more attractive design, and he compares it with rival devices like the Galaxy S8 and LG G6 to illustrate how aesthetic improvements can complement core pillars like camera, speed, and stock Android. Throughout the video, Marques emphasizes that there will always be room for innovation in smartphones and cameras, citing the Lumia 1020 as an example of going all-in on a single spec. He frames the role of reviews as a constructive feedback loop for manufacturers, noting that honest, rigorous testing can drive better products and, in some cases, free positive PR when a device proves its worth. He also reflects candidly on his own past and ongoing growth as a creator, recommending self-critique as a path to improvement. The session closes with a reminder that meaningful content comes from honest evaluation and practical insight rather than flashy marketing, inviting viewer input for future topics and variations of the What’s On concept.

Questions answered

What is your stance on vlogging based on your past content and the What’s On series?
Vlogging would likely be boring if it only showed behind-the-scenes footage; the What’s On series aims to showcase the tools and setups creatives use, not just the creator themselves.
Do you think the Pixel 2 should prioritize design as much as performance?
Yes, the Pixel 2 should maintain strong performance and stock Android while improving aesthetics to compete with devices like the Galaxy S8 and LG G6.
