The Huawei Problem

2019-01-30
when a company as large as always finally penetrates us markets get excited regardless of nationality it creates traditional competition it bolsters innovation imagine if we only had one smartphone supplier say what if Apple had no competition what if Samsung and LG didn't exist would we have the iPhone 10 s and 10 our smart phones we've come to love and hate today my point is on the surface when huawei sells products in the United States it appears like a good thing but dig a little deeper and you'll find that things aren't as black and white as they seem hence the tinfoil hat you're looking for a database of PC builds with pictures spec sheets and all look no further than build dot G G with its intuitive search engine you can find computer builds based on form factor color location brand and other prominent themes my two favorite toggles are the cooling and RGB menus you're looking for a custom cooled rig for example just click this one right here and here's a ton of builds from which to draw inspiration and if you're looking for builds without RGB LEDs maybe none at all or just a single color you can filter that way as well just a few examples to show you how intuitive this thing really is sign up for builds at GG today for $0.00 that's because it's free and start sharing today so jump back to early 2018 in February heads of the NSA CIA FBI the list goes on tons of important US bureaus go on the record urging government employees to avoid Huawei cell phones why because the company has close ties to the Chinese government Huawei is Chinese after all but ever since the u.s. entered this cold war of sorts with China US officials have been concerned about the security and integrity of products influenced directly by the Chinese government there were talks of wiretapping location tracking and intellectual property theft does this make more sense now and that was only the beginning politics aside one of the big reasons why we're currently in a trade war with China according to our own government is because of intellectual property theft and regardless of whether you agree with the tactics being used or not China doesn't have the cleanest track record when it comes to honoring international patents or licenses companies have been known to steal design cues from Apple Samsung implement unlicensed features and even disingenuously promote products on review sites like Best Buy why what was actually caught in a controversy amid a Facebook post urging folks to leave reviews touting the unreleased mate ten pros impressive features without having any actual hands-on experience with the product that's the whole point of reviews to leave your hands on feedback right so this was strictly against best biased Terms of Service and once consumers caught onto the ploy they were displeased to say the least but it gets the point across right not to be clear these issues don't pertain solely to Chinese companies I think every company to an extent it has to deal with something like this but they do seem disproportionately concentrated in China so the u.s. is fighting back I'll be it in a very controversial way and back to the design keys we mentioned a second ago how about this make book X Pro I reviewed it actually against the 13-inch MacBook Pro in this video right here a few months ago it looks oddly similar but does outperform its Apple counterpart in several categories this laptop has a beautiful touch screen a better keyboard in my opinion and a significantly better graphics processor discreet graphics the MX 150 in this case is very impressive even in its 10 watt form and especially when compared to the ia GPS of most ultra books including the MacBook lend you the main book crushes Adobe Premiere renders an even lighter 1080p and 720p gaming I could run pub G fortnight rocket League the list goes on I definitely wouldn't promote the laptop as a gaming device but it'll do it under dire circumstances if needed so for me personally the maple X Pro has been my portable video editing machine it worked beautifully for CES this year check out our coverage here and I plan to take it again with me to copy text in Taiwan battery life is great the trackpad is well it's no MacBook trackpad but I'll trade it for this USB 3 port any day of the week that's how much I value sb3 now you see this is all one big trade-off right MacBooks patented trackpad technology for example is technically protected and it can arguably limit innovation to an extent but where it truly counts at least in my eyes the MacBook X pro serves its purpose so why so much hate then over a brand that makes great products like the MacBook X Pro well that's the optics first off this laptop looks almost identical looks like a knockoff MacBook Pro and there's really no denying that second it's really how it appears in the news in our own government and online right it's how its presented by other people not just Huawei did you know that Huawei is being sued by the United States twice actually one involves theft and the other involves fraud which is basically that and these kinds of stories can absolutely ruin a company's reputation in a particular market but it doesn't mean the company will magically disappear how about this one did you know that Huawei is the world's second largest smartphone brand they don't have the most popular phones but by sales volume technically speaking they're second only to Samsung you wouldn't know that because Huawei really hasn't done a great job penetrating US markets the mobile side they haven't really scored a major carrier with any of their latest smartphones either few exceptions but you get the point people just don't want to touch Huawei products because of the optics so companies this large attract a great deal of attention including from their own governments and that's what concerns the United States this is China we're talking about and trying to not known for upholding individual privacy rights in the recent past I mean maybe the Chinese are listening to this conversation I'm having with you guys right now and a lot of tops right over there does it sound that far-fetched in 2019 and that's exactly what Huawei ZT and others have had to come back in 2019 whether it's happening or not that is what it might appear to be on the surface it's the optics here in the States it's how things appear to the average consumer anyone willing to do an ounce of research in the company knows that Huawei has a shady past that's not to say that their companies don't but when your country's own government encourages employees to avoid hallways smart phones like the plague you've got to step back and rethink a thing or two maybe put on the tinfoil hat so what do you guys think does it sound as though I'm wearing a tinfoil hat honestly I couldn't tell you how concerned I was over using the maple X Pro on a daily basis I think the approach I take to it is this I don't know and I don't want to know same goes for our own government and that's not to say that we do this any worse or better than China but I'm well aware of how intrusive our own government be and has been in the past I'm sure they know more about me than my own parents do let's leave it at that so even if you choose to forego huawei products in favor of say Apple or Samsung phones your government is still probably listening that's just how it is okay time to take off the Hat now I'm vulnerable what do you guys think about this I want to open this up to you guys in the comments section I want this to be one big discussion I'm sure we'll have both sides of the argument so maybe several facets of this argument reach the comments section I will be sure to jump in as well from time to time let me know if you like somebody my give this one a thumbs up I appreciate it thumbs up for the office feeling ever you hate everything my life click that red subscribe button if you haven't already I'll catch you in the next video this is science studio thanks for wearing tin foil hats with us actually that's a pretty snug fit now I'm getting notifications maybe it's the government nope we're in the clear
