Which laptop microphone did you prefer?
I’ve been on the edge of my seat waiting for another mic test🥺
One thing I’ve noticed is David’s one of the few people to mention Zoom, Meet AND Teams instead of just defaulting to saying Zoom. Not sure if that actually means anything lol!
the two MacBooks were almost identical. lol not far apart at all at least on the YouTube video.
David’s solo pods are the best!!!
Surface Pro and Surface Laptop has the best mic in any laptop out there. It sounds like a blue yeti USB microphone.
