Best of CES 2018!

2018-01-13
hey guys austin and stay in here with the very best tech of CES 2018 one of the first things that jumped out to me is the in win win bot case and normally PC cases not all that exciting but here CES things get a little bit more interesting one look at this and you're gonna get some death star vibes so it is a clear case that is going to actually be able to haul some pretty serious components but what really makes it cool is the fact that it is going to be completely motorized so not only can you open and close the case like pac-man the entire thing will spin around like a robot now at $3,500 the best doesn't necessarily mean the most practical we're gonna say it's actually a lot cooler than i-5 something else cool is the pigeon declined to be interviewed continuing on the gaming train we have the Razer project Melinda now this is one of my favorite things from the show this year so much so that we actually already did an entire video about it but the idea is is that this takes the razor phone and turns it into a laptop so you plug it in via USB see it functions that the trackpad as the speakers and the guts of the phone are enough to run the entire laptop so if you guys want more about that dentally be sure to go check out our full video on Razer project Linda speaking of razer they were also showing off their set up support for philips hue so you guys probably know that Razer is all about RGB literally everything and they're taking that up a notch by letting you add your hue lights to their synapse software the way this works is that inside there's synapse software you can control your hue lights alongside all of your accessories so say you want to get a super cool rave going you can hit a key and an entire wave will come all the way around your room it's kind of ridiculous but I mean actually that's pretty cool so you know something I think everyone will think is cool is Sony's 8k TV now 8k has slowly been showing up at CES even though you can't really buy them in stores just yet however Sony up the game with not only a full HD are compatible TV big goes up to 10,000 nits how bright is 10,000 nits it's really bright you heard it here first it's really bright almost as bright as the light that's in my face right now just put this in context most standard TVs that even our HD are compatible might top out at around 500 nits whereas this guy can go all the way up to 10,000 now what's cool about this is that especially for some games like Gran Turismo for example which have been designed with some proper HDR support in mind you're gonna have incredibly bright specific sources so say that you see the headlights of a car or a bright sunset that can be way way brighter than the rest of the scene can be actually a really impressive bit of contrast of course that's to say nothing about the idea that it is an 85 inch 8k TV which looks ridiculous but it's actually the HDR stuff that really sort of blew me away it looks so so good Samsung we're also showing off the wall now this is a new type of display technology called micro LED the idea here is that it actually is going to be modular to a degree so while they were showing off a 146 inch version you could at least in theory build pretty much as big of a TV as you wanted assuming you have a lot of money LG was also showing off a pair of new displays so they have not only a 4k option but they also have a 5k ultra wide so we've been using their ultra fine 5k displays to edit on for a little while and they're really nice however what they're adding with these new displays is HDR at least kind of they're using HDR 600 which is brighter than standard displays however because neither windows nor Mac actually support HDR yet it's still kind of a little bit in the middle right now what's cool is the 4k option supports Thunderbolt 3 as well as daisy chaining so off of a single Thunderbolt 3 port you can actually run two of these 4k displays so what I think a lot of people are going to be interested in is the new 5k ultra wide so with a resolution of 50 120 by 2160 this is basically like a super wide 4k display and especially for gaming if you have some crazy over-the-top system it's gonna look nice moving to the audio side of things we have the new Sennheiser HD 820 headphones now the HD 800 are regarded as some of the best sounding headphones pretty much anywhere in a 20s add a glass back to the headphones this might sound weird however the 800s they leak like crazy so if you're in the same room you can hear exactly what someone's listening to whereas with the 8 20s like glass helps to give it a little bit more of a closed sound while still sounding absolutely incredible seriously even though these things are gonna be probably well over $2,000 there's some of the best sounding headphones I've ever tried moving to laptops there's the 2018 LG Graham so you guys will probably know that I love the original Graham I've done a couple videos on it is one of my favorite laptops of last year but for 2018 not only are they going to be bumping it up to quad-core processors but it has an almost ridiculously large 72 watt hour battery there are also some nice additions including the option of adding a Thunderbolt 3 port instead of USBC which is especially nice for those LG displays you also now get dual SD slots so you can't open this guy up and not only add some more memory but also another SSD this is definitely a laptop I want to check out as soon as it comes out in the next few months something I found surprisingly cool at this year's show is the casio Morel 2.5 D printer so you guys are probably familiar with 3d printers that will print full 3d objects especially when you get up higher in the budget so you can do some really cool stuff with that however with the mop roll you're actually printing textures so with our demo they printed a mesh material but in about five minutes you can do all kinds of different textiles you can do fake leather you can even do things like stone of course this is going to be more on the manufacturing sides and say you want to build a cup row type really quickly it's cool and a $50,000 it will not come cheap but it is really cool to be able to print stuff that looks and feel surprisingly real in just a few minutes Ken are we done is this it for CES can we go home now I don't have a voice anymore I've been looking at tech all week hopefully you guys enjoyed our best of CES if you missed any of the videos check them out over here or over here I don't know no no not there there's no videos up there Ken
