okay tech fan so we are back officially we're back now that's right back to filming videos and I spent my week at CES so this is pretty much my CES roundup of CES 2018 and honestly the show went absolutely great this year we made all of our meetings everything went smooth had a great time my foot didn't even bleed so hey thumbs up for that so we start our day off at ZOTAC on Monday and so tech had some pretty cool stuff that they were showing a few guys no ZOTAC they're pretty much famous for making mini PCs and guess what that's not changing they've got many more many pcs that are coming out this year a whole lot of different things and thank you to chinny and to boo for happiness the booth it was very nice and what's kind of really strange this year is nobody we met with was on the showroom floor everybody that mean Wentworth was actually in a hotel suite which made things a lot easier the zotac booth was very nice it had a couple different display areas one area was strictly for all of the different types of mini pcs some were for external video card enclosures so if you have like a laptop or something older that you really can't game on one of these external video card things can really improve your gaming experience altogether it's a box you can stick a video card in it some come with cards some come without but you can plug that into any low end PC and be up and gaming with a 1070 or a 1080 video card and that's pretty cool now another thing there's otech booth that was really cool is they had a back pack for VR that's right a back pack so you could take VR anywhere that you're going now unfortunately the vibe of the oculus either one of them doesn't work very well on the Sun I was saying this thing would be great for going out in the Sun but you really kind of have to have a darkened room for all the sensors especially with the vibe those sensors don't work very well whatsoever so we got to go up and play around you know using the vibe now this is actually the old-school vibe because a brand new vive pro is actually coming out and we'll show you that in a little while because we actually saw that over at Nvidia but they had a system set up there and I got to play a couple games it was pretty nice I have to say that even though the oculus usually makes me sick and makes me want to puke honestly when I was playing the vibe I had a much much better experience I didn't feel like throwing up whatsoever though Tech's also releasing a brand new line of PCs kind of like the one from Corsair because it's it's an all-in-one computer everything's all inside of it you guys can see these systems look pretty nice they're very thin they don't take up a lot of desktop reality and they have powerful graphics inside of them to play all your games now the last thing that we saw at the zotac booth is this brand-new monitor it's like a 38 inch monitor that they're working with has everything built inside of it and looks really nice I understand I think they're partnering up with some people probably like LG to make this monitor but it's going to be really nifty stuff so this year's ZOTAC has a lot of stuff rolling out so be on the lookout for their products cuz if you're a ZOTAC fan all kinds of things are coming this year next up in the afternoon we cruised over to my buddy Justin in and we saw the Corsair booth now Corsair has a lot of products you guys know this not a whole lot new that's coming out this year but the booth was really killer they had spaces for both light they also had a VR system going on with the HTC vive and when I played this one I almost fell down on my butt because it was like this environment where I'm shooting Shum in the shooting game type thing and every time I like move that I almost fell over cuz my prosthesis that I'm that I'm wearing to help me walk there pretty cool but as far as just balancing when I'm inside of a VR room and trying to look around all I almost fell on my ass plenty of times and both Anthony and Nick were both there to help me not fall on my butt so that was pretty you know pretty pretty fun my bed my book mr. guys I was almost falling over and that just kind of added a dimension to something cuz I was like whoa what's going on here now big things though are there are a couple new pages that are going to be coming out for the people over at Corsair but a wireless keyboard and mouse are the next products that you guys are going to see from there coming out they'll be out probably at the end of this month and they're very very nice they're very responsive there's no lag we got to play some games in their booth and everything is very very smooth I'm working on another review with LG and with Hisense on some TV stuff so you'll actually see these particular parts incorporated into my video because I'm going to use these different parts now all around the Corsair booth there are all kinds of different products that are there like I said you folks who follow Corsair and fans you guys know most these products there wasn't really a whole lot super-duper new there other than a couple of cases in the wireless keyboard and mouse because they did a lot of product launches last year now there's also that new triple RGB radiator and that all-in-one cooling system we brought the two guys a few months ago I don't know with some really weird confusion about an NDA so we had to pull the video but the H 100 i RGB has you know three fans on it it's 360 it's really crazy so if you're looking for something that's going to totally cool your system and has a lot of girth to it this is a product you guys are seriously going to want to check out before you guys actually see this video you guys will see the video that I posted on that products so on the link down below so if you guys want to check out the unboxing and see exactly what that product is you guys can see what overall the booth was very very nice that people were friendly and it was just a great experience overall and that's pretty much all that we did on our very first day at CES we just stuck to those you know to meetings and held to it the floor is just huge and I don't really want to risk ruining or hurting my feet anymore whatsoever than they are I had like a cut in the back of it and it was bleeding really bad and I just decided you know what let's just skip the floor and honestly I'm kind of glad that we did because there wasn't really any companies out there on the floor at all they were like - you know it was like Edwin and one of their company and everybody else was in hotel so I'm kind of glad it and walked the showroom floor anyways now on Tuesday morning Tuesday is were things for me I think got really excited because we got to go first thing in the morning to Nvidia now Nvidia had some really killer stuff at their hotel suite I just got to tell you first of all 65 inch g-sync 120 Hertz monitor that also has everything that's in the shield built inside of it so if you like watching movies all your programs that has Amazon Prime it has all that stuff that you want everything that you want for watching movies is actually built into it so even though it doesn't actually have a TV tuner in it who really needs a TV tuner at this time it's got HDR this thing is actually incredible we got to play a lot of different games on it and watch different TV programs and streaming and I got to say that NVIDIA has one killer freaking product on their hands I cannot wait to get my hands on a review sample of this because it is crazy I've always wanted to have you know a TV in my living room that I could play games on and honestly I've been seriously disappointed you know we saw the brand-new TV that I got from LG it wasn't a TN Panama's IP was excuse-me IPS panel so it was a little bit slower of a panel like it wasn't quite fast enough didn't have any g-sync no free sync nothing like that so honestly even though some of these TVs that are coming out can game they're not geared for gaming whatsoever and let's just face it we all know this but this product from Nvidia is badass and it's gonna be made by a SUSE Acer and a few other companies so it's basically a 65 inch giant monitor that features g-sync HDR just everything that you'd want in a killer performance monitor for doing your gaming on and best of all all the colors and everything on it are super freakin incredible no honestly they're really really incredible when you guys get to see this in person and a store and it finally gets there you're gonna be like holy and if NVIDIA can get this to the market and like the 200 you know excuse me that $200 range slap snap in the two thousand dollar range I would definitely be recommending that to all of you guys to buy because it's just incredible and if you want a game and you want a game on a big screen they're actually calling this the big format monitor like you know BFG which usually stands for a big freakin gun but now it's the big freakin g-sync monitor and it is just incredible now there's also something else coming out from Nvidia that is simply simply amazing before you could play some of your games on the cloud and everything but you could only kind of really do it on the Mac they had a lot of Mac stuff for doing that but now they've moved over to a lot to the PC and you can take a two hundred dollar laptop I'm not even joking whatsoever a two hundred dollar laptop install GeForce now on that laptop and you'll be able to stream games at 60 frames per second from the cloud I actually saw a laptop that was $200 playing all of their games very very smooth now the only caveat however that laptop I have to say is the screen but we moved across the room and we were checking out another laptop which is LG which is a $400 laptop and it was absolutely awesome so you can take a $40 laptop with a nice screen and everything and play all of your games all from a cloud through GeForce now and that's just simply bad at so if you've ever been wondering about you know playing that or getting into it you should definitely check it out now especially if you have a lower end laptop but you still want to get those nice frame rights and nice graphics we compared it to like a lower end laptop and then we compared it to two total it's more the $400 laptops and then we actually compared to a laptop that had no GeForce now nat whatsoever and the game was literally getting on the same laptop okay two frames per second versus 60 frames per second all from using GeForce now and that's just simply incredible stuff they also have some new technology out for laptops which means that all laptops now will give you an ultimate gaming experience they actually you know have a standard now or if you don't need this standard of the laptop you won't be able to actually use you know the GeForce you won't be able to use the g-sync all that stuff won't be included because if you don't follow the procedures for this for this new technology you're not gonna be able to make the laptop that's really cool now another interesting thing is this thing called freestyle and video freestyle so if you guys out there you guys are familiar with NVIDIA you guys know all about using ansel taking pictures and all this stuff but check this out freestyle allows you to actually go inside the game and change all kinds of different things at the base level and make different color changes different hue changes you can literally change the way the game looks as far as visually and color goes to your preference so if you're playing a game you're like go board look it looks kind of cool but I want to make this even crazier well with freestyle you can absolutely 100% and do that it'll be available for a download so you can grab the download and try it on your own system but I think you'll be pretty impressed especially in your planes the most dungeon & dragon type games I mean sometimes making it all purple and crazy and blue or just making it all orange you know actually looks really cool and if you're a fan of Ansel and you like taking a lot of pictures and doing this this is a really really nice tool that I think you're gonna be interested to check out when it gets here and why we're on the topic of Ansel one of the very last things that we saw it in video was going to be an update to Ansel 2 so making that you know that environment for taking your shots and doing all that is never going to be better honestly and Vidya had a lot of cool stuff at their booth and it was the most impressive tour that I took of the entire show for some reason I had a meeting with gigabyte schedule but they sent out a media blast like basically canceling all their meetings so I was kind of like freaked out a little mad about that when I got over to the booth in the morning I found out that that was a mistake and I still got to talk to everybody oh there I got to see my old friend sherry Lee we got to talk to Matt and these guys had a lot of different rooms set up in their booth in fact this was probably the largest of one of the displays that I saw in any of the hotels it was very very nicely done all around their entire suite is just a whole bunch of killer products like you start off you come in there's one room that's kind of like dedicated to office space another room that's dedicated to video another dino room that's dedicated to like just doing gaming they also had two different virtual reality race games and I had a hell of a lot of fun playing these games because you're playing them and you're literally just bouncing around in this VR car and it was just an incredible sensation if I had the money and I could be a real spoiled biatch I would definitely have one of those in my living room as my racing thing I mean honestly I love those things out of all the gaming experiences are I have to say I love racing games I always have and being able to sit in a virtual reality like simulated car and drive you know drive and race was just a hell of a lot of fun I played it and played it and played it until I started getting a little bit dizzy because like you know if this this is well this was not the latest vibe this is actually the oculus and I started to feel a little bit wheezy but overall it was a really great experience now these guys also shared a booth with a company called Enter this company makes a lot of different products they make cases they make coolers they make all kinds of crazy stuff and in fact this year they said they're gonna be bringing a lot of new air coolers to the market you know a lot of people complain about AIO is breaking down they're a pain in the butt so these guys are going backwards a little bit and making more high quality air cooling products which will be really cool they also have a lot of different stuff for RGB and just all in all they have a lot of nice stuff that's coming out in 2018 we spoke with a guy named Joe he was really cool we got to check out this one case and the case actually has a clear front panel a lot of times when we build cases anthea tell me dude why are we using these expensive RGB fans in the front of the case when you can't even see them at all with this new inter Maxx case you can see all of your RGB fans they actually have cool lights running up the front and overall it's just a very very nice case I have one coming in house for reviews we'll build a system on that and give you guys a full case review but overall these guys had some pretty nice products I mean they're not a giant company they're not like gigabyte or a Zeus or anything like that so they're not gonna have that many different sin variations of products but if you're looking for cooling stuff looking for stuff for like building your systems they have a lot of different stuff that you guys should definitely check out after we got to see all the cool things at the Nvidia booth just two floors up was a Zeus I know you guys all know this company now we met with Gary and Jeff Jeffers from the tech report gary has a long history in this tree is a writer and just all kinds of different stuff so both these guys not only in their position or marketing have also been writers and know what it's like to be on the PR side of things now inside of the Aces booth they had a lot of different products that are going to be coming out I didn't really get to see every single solitary thing inside of the room but they did have one thing that overall completely blew my mind so check this out we all like surround gaming with three monitors but one of the biggest things that's been a caveat to that is that you have the bezel on the monitor and the bezel always takes a little bit of space so when you're hooking those three monitors there's always this little tiny space that has absolutely nothing in it well using light refraction technology they've been able to develop a product that actually makes the monitor completely completely seamless that's right so you'll get a completely seamless gaming experience these through experience excuse me through this monitor setup and you can set it up a couple of different ways one thing unfortunately though is if it's not set up completely right it doesn't function but when it does function you'll be looking at it going wow how is it doing that because of the light refraction you can actually see the entire screen as one solid screen and another big thing is these guys are making that BFG monitor I was telling you about for the people over Nvidia so we got to check out that monitor inside of their suite as well I got I just can't tell you guys how blown away I am behind by this technologist overall it's really incredible we were able to talk to the guys and straighten everything out so this year you're going to see a lot of different stuff from a Zeus here at Tecna tomorrow we'll be working together closely with Gary and get all those nice products in here and bring them to the market the booth overall the suite excuse me was nice it had a lot of stuff out but it seems like a lot of the products that were actually shown I have actually already been released there was only a very few things that were really brand new and those products will all be coming to us so as the year keeps going round and round and round we'll bring this stuff to you guys so you can see all kinds of killer stuff from them I wish I could have got a little bit better coverage of some of some of these Suites unfortunately though this time around the budget didn't allow for us to carry a cameraman and all that stuff for the crew so I just went around with my cell phone taking different pictures of all the different things but I think overall you guys get a good idea of what's going on at the show now the very last meeting I had at the show was with NZXT and with vertigo now for vertigo you guys all know that company they're the chair that we just brought to you that was the chair for big guys and they introduced us to some really even better chairs in their suite they had a chair that was so smooth and triple that it blew my mind and we started asking about the wheels and even the wheels on this chair are incredible there are a hundred and twenty dollars a piece just for the wheels that's right I said it a hundred and twenty dollars per wheel but it literally slide it across the carpet like glass and they're just very comfortable the pl 6000 series that means plus series they're also going to have some new variations on those and like I said before if your company out there and you you know you're having a gaming team or anything like that the people at vertigo are really really cool they can custom make a chair to your spec so if you want a chair that totally matches you know your gaming team your office these guys are the guys to contact to do it because they just do a really great job now NZXT the biggest products that they have our brand new motherboards that's right motherboards from a case company the motherboards themselves are made by ECS you guys who are PC diehards and old school you know ECS is they're actually a giant giant company overseas just over here we all know the competition became you know very stiff between msi gigabyte asus and the rest of the company is kind of just like faded off to the market as rocks still kind of holding their own but many of the companies that we saw back in the day are completely defunct now one thing cool about these motherboards however is they're based on Intel technology and they come in a couple different colors but what's really neat is that they're going to have accessories that can change the color of the board to totally make you were built so if you have a green build you'll be able to change that a couple different parts on the board the heat sinks and make them match your products so no matter what Co your build is going to be they're gonna be able to have a motherboard accent that'll fix your build so it just looks totally nice inside the case now a lot of people complain about there's not enough USB port so it's not enough fist there's not enough that will really NZXT took a serious look at this and got together with DCs and this board has plenty of everything lots of USB 3 lots of headers everything that you could pretty much want in a gaming motherboard they analyzed and put on this board so when they come to mark which is in about two weeks we're going to get our hands on one thanks a lot for seeing you there Wes it was nice thanks Shannon for taking us to the booth we totally appreciate your guys's time so that's what we did at CES this year I just went to meetings I had fun it was very relaxing I didn't get stressed out at all overall probably one of the most successful and happy trips I've had going to CES in year so I am here so I have to say CES 2018 thumbs up thank you very much to Brian and Brian I appreciate you guys from Nvidia thank you very much to Chinni and Tabu thank you guys so much thank you to Justin just honestly thanks to all those people that
