The WORST and BEST of CES 2019!

2019-01-13
Souths finishing up CES and I already recorded a video of the best things I saw at the event but then I went to watch the video back and there was this like horrible mic noise like I bought this microphone here and this is probably the worst thing of CES is I paid 110 bucks for it and now has a really good capsule on it but the problem is is that when you're recording the audio even the slightest sensitivity to the cable itself will then introduce a massive amount of noise and I mean this shouldn't be happening on a microphone that you pay a hundred and ten dollars for especially when the company's called the sound professionals so whatever they did they put a cable on this thing and I'll let you take a listen to it this is just some crazy noise that goes through the microphone the moment you touch it or even just move positions so I can't vlog with this microphone at all in its current state probably have to change the cable around but all that aside let's finally sit down and discuss what was the best things I saw at CES 2019 the CES 2019 was scattered into a lot of different sections there's some massive showroom floors at the Venetian Hotel but then also different companies especially enthusiast tech companies had their booze situated two hotels there were sort of kind of in yonder so it took a little while to go to some of those booths but on the main Sherman floor I did manage to go to the automotive section where I think I saw the coolest thing I've seen in a long time and that was this massive drone like helicopter thing it was called the bell Nexus and I had six engines on it and I guess it's the future of our vehicles where we're currently just land traffic in every city I guess every major city in the world's getting congested so this I guess will alleviate that problem if we can start flying so look really cool I have no idea how much it cost but seeing this thing was just unbelievable and then moving through the Health section I actually came across some really cool things I did this health check where it took me 15 minutes and it cut off all the circulation in my right arm and then it measured the temperature of my left finger versus my right finger and then once the pressure is released after five minutes it measured how quickly that temperature rose back to being close to the other temperature and so this essentially coupled with a blood pressure test gives you an idea of how healthy you are I've managed to get above average but admittedly I haven't been exercising for a little while and the lady did admit that cardiovascular exercise was super important so apparently that gives you a thirty view exercise in the morning for example that gives you like a 30% boost in blood flow or something close to there for the rest of the day so I was like damn one thing I realized out of that test was to just keep doing cardiovascular exercise now if you're into getting a good night's sleep or if you can't get a good night's sleep I saw this device where you put it on your head and then it measures your brainwaves and the energies and stuff like that and you can actually map over three months that's what the recommended period is all the sleep patterns you go through and so you can sort of correlate what mood you're in and what you're thinking of with how you're sleeping and so I thought this is really cool because sometimes I can't get a good night's sleep it's just there's either a lot of stress on my mind anxiety or I'm hungry or something like that so this thing will give you data over the long-run and then let you know what you need for a best night's sleep whether it just be eat a massive burger before you go to bed which does the trick for me but some of this other stuff it's interesting to definitely put that into practice and see what would help me sleep in the long-run now of course getting back to enthusiast tech there was so many different things on display I did see a 256 gigabyte dim from Samsung that's all that memory and one stick this was a registered ACC dim however it's just cool to see that much memory I mean imagine having a two slot mini ITX PC potentially with 512 gigabytes of RAM that'd be pretty crazy so that was definitely on display as well as the big announcements from AMD Intel and NVIDIA Intel talked about their 10 nanometer which is quite some time away still yet they're definitely gonna release that later in the year AMD promised their risin 3000 series CPUs for the mid-year and I was super excited about this because they had a single die solution for eight cores rather than using two CC X's or two die what they've done in the past with the Verizon 1000 and 2000 series now people are saying there are traces on that PCB to accommodate another eight cause what AMD intends to do with this no one exactly knows just yet of course a 16 core part would be great but me personally I was super excited about a low latency single die eight core solution this really got me excited because personally I'm a big fan of a lot of actions per minute and low latency also continuing on with AMD's keynote was the Radeon 7 which is their new flagship gravis card intended to be better value than the previous Vegas 56 and then also out of invidious campbell's the RT X 2060 now I was excited when I talked about both these graphics cards of course their new graphics cards are gonna be bringing better value to to market than their predecessors but of course I do agree with you guys in the comments they're not like super innovative both these gravis cards aren't offering more value than said 1060 was to a 960 or a Vega 56 was to an r9 390 or something like that I mean the price performance differences especially for the time we've been waiting certainly isn't nothing to get excited about but it doesn't change the fact that these gravis cards are still going to be better value at the new price points than the predecessors gravis cards were so basically when it comes to politics with enthusiasts tech companies I don't really want any part of it I'm just gonna get the product and review it for its merits which in the case of the RT X 2060 and the Radeon 7 forward to covering for you guys now moving on to the MSI booth this was where I saw some really cool monitors they had a 5k ultra wide display and they're using I think they said nano IPS as well as promising lower response times than previous generation of IPS panels I think they'll say 5 milliseconds but besides that they also had a 1440p ultra wide panel with a hundred and forty-four Hertz this was 34 inch and they said one millisecond MRP T or something to do with that terminology in response times so it looks like they've gone away the gray to gray response times but of course the thousand FPS camera never lies I told them I looked be looking forward to reviewing one of these monitors which will be out the mid-year in 2019 C be expected in June or July but it's definitely looking good for ms I have for them to get into monitors but also hit hard with some really good specs now if you're into RGB LED lighting then course it had on display the capella X RGB lights this is essentially shrinking your traditional 5050 RGB lighting and making it very small so they can put so many more RGB LED lights in a smaller space and it's also more efficient better power consumption so they can essentially put out less heat for the same amount of lights that you'd have in your case as well as being able to do a lot more unique things for instance they have their Dominator memory the newest version on display and that had just really lighting effects going through it as well as having a new design as for audio and PC lovers all in one creative had their super XY headphone amp which was really good this thing pretty much made headphones come to life like a 5.1 and 7.1 speaker setup then they also had at the same booth the ae9 sound card which way they were teasing and they definitely said I'll be able to get on hands-on with that when it's released and give you guys a day 1 review so definitely looking forward to that but that's about it for CES 2019 there was a lot of cool products there a lot of refreshes a lot of improvements coming for 2019 some of which would just extend this video out way too much but that was definitely some of the coolest stuff that I saw that sort of just maybe opened my eyes blew me away of course some of the other stuff they had there was just a lot of fluff in my opinion they had so many different things that I just looked down and I was like there that doesn't really interest me they even had a toilet on display which got an Innovation Award so I mean for me personally a toilets a toilet and I just do my thing on it that I guess CES seems to think that that was a really cool product you guys that's it for CES 2019 I hope you have enjoyed all the coverage that I've brought to you guys there wasn't a whole lot of it unfortunately because I did have to run around from one hotel to the other and it was just super busy it's definitely nothing like Computex especially if you're an enthusiast tech that's a different topic for a different day if you're at the event let us know what your favorite product was or if you've been watching the videos what did you think the coolest thing at CES 2019 was love reading your thoughts and opinions as always and don't forget to hit that like button but from here on in there is still one more thing to do in Vegas and that is challenged the other youtuber called Christopher Yee who's actually called me out and once the day price-performance rundown before the best value for money Pacey you can build so we're gonna get onto that and we're gonna see how well we do these out for now wait you
