The Best of CES 2017

2017-01-10
a JV Tech tee what's going on everybody and we're here at CES 2017 which is coming to a close and you know what that means we're going to be giving awards out to the best of show here at the Consumer Electronics Show of 2017 in front of me are three different awards for three different properties and we gave awards to 11 total devices and products rather that we felt were the best of show this year and we're going to have three of our representatives from each website to give you the list and to give you the reasons why we gave those products the best of awards this year what's up guys want hear from Android 30 and first up on the list is the zenfone AR and although it's not the first tango ready smartphone it's definitely the first truly high-end one by high-end we mean it's got a powerful snap during a 21 processor under the hood as well as an impressive 8 gigabytes of RAM the look is definitely distinctive and that's because it has to house all the various cameras that makes quality augmented reality possible it's easily one of the most high-tech smartphones we've ever seen so it was a natural choice for best of CES 2017 next up we have the Samsung Chromebook pro and plus it seems as though Samsung has looked around the notebook market and combined all the best qualities they file there with their own distinctive strengths like a yoga book these devices can be folded in half to serve as a tablet since their Chromebooks you have full access to the Google Play Store meaning you'll be able to use all your favorite apps best of all it's got pressure-sensitive s-pen that's perfect for drawing or jotting down notes now we found the honor 6x to be a pretty impressive mid-range er you actually get specs that are closer to what you might see in flagship devices but you only have to pay 250 bucks for it instead of 700 to 8000 we've seen similar devices in this price range but what really sets the honor 6x apart is this killer battery well even a lot of today's high-end devices will die out on you in the middle of the day the honor 6x has a battery that's capable of lasting two whole days we like the Phoenix 5 family for how much tech Garmin's they will pack into a wearable when price was no object yes the Phoenix 5 lineup is a bit pricey but they might be the most powerful trackers we've seen all three of these watches naturally come with basic fitness tracking for running swimming and hiking and they are water resistant up to 100 meters the Phoenix 5 standard is clearly designed for men and these smaller 5s is women for those looking to go all out the 5x comes loaded with a ton of extra features including pre-loaded topo us mapping hey guys johnathan vise here for tab times our very first best of CES 2017 has got to go to the ThinkPad x1 from lenovo now this isn't a cheap laptop by any means with a price tag of over $1,300 but lenovo has certainly pulled out all the stops in terms of crabbing specs into a thin lightweight design it's powerful as an elegant design and is easy to travel with there's lots of love here dell is the next company that knocked our socks off in the laptop department showing off the dell XPS 13 2 & 1 we've seen a lot of convertible laptops over the last year but in some ways this model feels like the first time it's truly been done right sure it's a gorgeous device but it also has formidable specs to the tune of an Intel Core i5 or i7 processor a beautiful quad HD display and a battery that Dell says can last for over 14 hours of use the Dell XPS 13 takes a page out of Apple's book by ditching all of the USB type 8 connections in favor of USB type-c inputs with Thunderbolt 3 support fans of doodling or taking notes on the fly will like the accompanying stylus and it also has a fingerprint reader for added security and of course the screen detaches from the keyboard to serve as a tablet our next award goes again to Lenovo for the légion y72 it's a gaming laptop that's surprisingly thin competitively priced at 13 99 and specifically tricked out for virtual reality if you are a vibe or rift fan looking for a laptop that won't break the bank this looks like the ideal choice out of CES 2017 the NVIDIA GTX 1060 under the hood keeps all your VR experiences running smoothly and the légion y72 actually comes with a built-in application that converts a variety of traditional PC games into a VR experience the design is great the specs are potent and the price is right the légion y72 is definitely worth checking out a surprisingly lightweight Ultrabook Samsung's updated notebook 9 is a our house of a slim laptop ready to take on certain pro version from a competitor with a 15-inch display this Intel Core i7 laptop is packed with 16 gigabytes of ddr4 Ram and measures in at just over 2 pounds the best of all Samsung is claiming upwards of 15 hours of battery life per charge combined with rapid charge technology this is a device you may be able to take out of the house without taking the charger how's it going everyone I'm Adam Alena here with sound guys and the first award that we're giving is to Blue Microphones satellite headphones these have two drivers in each ear cup then bluetooth 4.2 and produce sound via 45 millimeter drivers but it's the second pair of drivers that make these worthwhile sound quality can sometimes get lost during the active noise cancellation process but with two drivers there's one dedicated to sound and another that handles the ANC we still have to put them through the full review process so keep an eye out for that no pricing has been announced yet but they'll be available this spring House of Marley announced a few new products this year but the ones that caught our eye were the smile would make them et headphones there's nothing really insanely new about these but the build quality feels great and because it's House of Marley they're made of recycled materials there's controls right on the neck piece for controlling volume and playback but the best part has to be the price which is only $59 good quality for a low price if you're waiting for CES to see what durable do to the speaker's would be announced the Altec Lansing sonic boom should be on your radar Altec Lansing says that it's everything-proof which practically means it has an ip67 certification and though it's still pretty big it floats on the back it has three USB outputs to charge your phones a standard outlet for regular things you might need to plug in and a 50 foot range to top it all off for sub $300 as always thank you guys very much for
