so jumping straight into this list we're gonna kick things off with the games Vanguard and this is probably one of my favorite pieces of tech on this list it's a portable gaming environment that'll allow you to play your favorite gaming console practically anywhere it has a briefcase design and when you open it up you'll find a 19 inch 720p display which I found more than adequate for such a unique gaming setup you get some standard monitor controls for brightness contrast and a lot more as well as some equalizer settings for the built-in speakers what's also pretty cool is that you can plug in some headphones considering you might be playing this in places that may need a little more quiet it comes with two pouches that will go on the sides of your console so you can carry your controllers and cables this is the perfect little system if you're looking to play your console and somewhere you normally wouldn't be able to or even if you want to change a pace and don't want to sit in front of your TV it's also tons of fun to take this guy out and meet up with some friends and let them enjoy some gaming without having to be stuck at home I personally love being able to lazy up in bed and still enjoy my fun next up we've got the ring video doorbell ring brings the people to a whole new level with a wide angle HD camera that allows you to see who's at your door without even going to it it comes with a companion app that you can find on both iOS and Android that sends video feed of who's at your door directly to your phone through the use of Wi-Fi this means that no matter where you are you can answer your door and even have two-way communication with your visitor it's perfect for those of us who get a ton of packages and we just want to tell the delivery man just leave it at the door it even comes with everything you'll need for installation right in the packaging so it doesn't have to be a scary process getting this all hooked up you can use this as a standalone doorbell to your device and it'll run on the built-in battery or you can hardwire it to your existing doorbell system which was super simple and you won't have to worry about it and honestly I think that's the best route to go so everyone at home can know when someone's at or it has a ton of other features you can take advantage of like cloud recording motion detection night vision and tons more so if you want to up your smart home game this is definitely the place to start now let's talk about the IOT easy flex this is a wireless car mount charger and it's one of those little gems I've stumbled across that I didn't expect to be so good if your phone supports Wireless Qi charging this is pretty amazing it comes with a micro USB cable to give it the juice it needs to charge your device and it makes it super simple to just drop your phone into the mount and it starts charging instantly this is super convenient and two knocks out needing to find a cable or a place to put your phone wallis charging one thing I really love about this is the ability to use any size phone with it from a smaller phone like the galaxy s6 to the obnoxious Nexus 6 I haven't had any issues fitting phones into here and that's even factoring in cases you're able to open up the hinges and lock your phone in when you place it on the center button it's also super flexible so you'll be able to position this any way you might need you can even spin it upside down when you're looking to charge your phone that doesn't support Wireless Chi another neat little trick I like to use with this is throwing my Moto 360 on there when it's running low on battery this thing has definitely been clutch and here we've got the same glide pulse a smart LED with a built-in Bluetooth speaker now I've reviewed this in the past so some of you may have heard of it but it's definitely an awesome piece of tech that surprised me to know even existed when plugged into your standard light bulb socket this thing gets all the power it needs to start functioning making it completely wireless with the companion app you're able to have full control of each bulb and its speaker you can power it on or off increase or decrease your brightness and even control the volume of the music you play from it the speaker performance is pretty good but what's really amazing about it is that you're able to add up to seven bulbs to a master bulb giving you a total of eight bulbs for some ridiculous surround sound outfit in an entire room with these and I'm sure your neighbors will hate you the bulb itself is a little on the larger side but it's a seamless integration of cool tech that doesn't take up any room since every home already has a place for it and last but not least we have Netgear and 300 Wi-Fi extend and this does exactly what the name implies by plugging this into a power outlet somewhere in the middle of where your current router and where you want to receive signal you'll be able to extend the signal of your Wi-Fi well this little device does is lock on to the Wi-Fi signal you're looking to extend and creates a new extended network I've seen my connection strength almost double when using this guy this thing has been a lifesaver for me with some of my gaming consoles I have them in this enclosure above my desk which tends to limit the signal strength they receive so having a closer signal is great this little guy is especially useful for larger homes where certain spots lose signal strength or if you just have some walls that cause interference another awesome feature is being able to use an Ethernet cable directly from the n300 to your device for a more stable connection and that about wraps up for this top five list of awesome tech but you might have noticed that a lot of these devices can help to build up a pretty awesome smart home but there's actually a device that I think should get an honorable mention and that's just because it's not out yet and I'm talking about the only smart home system the Lummi plans to make it crazy simple to smarten up your home by making it easy to add and control smart devices with a simple tap you can add things like smart bulbs a controllable power outlet HD streaming devices and tons more and everything is controlled by UMI's edge-to-edge glass remote and it features a touch screen that allows you to control everything you've got hooked up to the system we'll be one step closer to living like Iron Man and so far it looks like it's going to be very easy to use and I love that they're looking to provide so many options it's currently in the crowdfunding phase but it picked up a ton of traction so far I'll have links down below in the description to their IndieGoGo campaign if you guys want to learn more about the Lummi smart home or maybe even get your pre-order in and I'll also have links down below for all the other products that I mentioned in this video but till the next video guys your average consumer ace
