Marques Brownlee

Marques Brownlee, known as MKBHD, is one of the best known technology reviewers on YouTube. He runs the channel from New York with a small team.

The videos review new smartphones, laptops, headphones and electric cars, usually soon after they launch. They focus on design, build quality, features and how a product feels to use day to day. The filming is very polished and the explanations are clear and measured. The channel is mostly about consumer products rather than how they are engineered, but it often explains why a design choice was made.

Some highlights include:

He drives an electric car made by a phone company and looks at what it gets right, and what it says about how the car industry is changing.

First impressions of a new range of phones, focusing on the design decisions and the compromises behind them.

A look at a folding phone and the engineering needed to make a screen that bends thousands of times.

The channel has over 21.4 million subscribers.

Marques Brownlee is a good way into product design and electronic engineering. Every product he reviews is the result of choices about materials, batteries, screens and software, and his videos show the trade-offs clearly. It connects to careers in product design, user experience, electronics and automotive engineering, especially as cars become more like computers.
