- New Touch-pad Technologies from synaptics - CES 2014E6
New Touch-pad Technologies from synaptics - CES 2014Synaptics is one of those brands that have a hand in so many devices you use everyday yet most people wont know who they are... Either way we happened to walk by their booth by chance(all good things happen this way don't they) and noticed they had some pretty cool touch pad tech to show off! My favorite is the touch pad replacement for windows 8 touch functionality. - Razer Project Christine Fully Modular Gaming PC Concept - CES 2014E7
Razer Project Christine Fully Modular Gaming PC Concept - CES 2014Project Christine might be the craziest thing we've seen at CES. It's a concept for a fully modular gaming PC with swappable oil cooled components, and a beautiful, silent design. - TrackR by Phone Halo - CES 2014E8
TrackR by Phone Halo - CES 2014I am actually quite interested in the TrackR by Phone Halo because I lose my keys CONSTANTLY...

BeQuiet Fans, CPU Coolers and PSU's - CES 2014BeQuiet didn't surprise me with the product categories they were expanding products into but they did surprise me with their new line of cheap fans. It is exciting to see such a product because BeQuiet is known for their impeccable German engineering... Lets just hope the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. - Fitbug Orb Smart Fitness Aid - CES 2014E13

Steiger Dynamics Maven and Couch Master Pro - CES 2014I think the Steiger Dynamics Maven will hit a price point that many more people will be able to enjoy.

Mionix's Induction Charging Mouse and Nash Headsets - CES 2014Mionix brought a lot to the table this year. Their new induction charging mouse is extremely exciting an their Nash headsets are extremely comfortable and as far as I could tell with the limiting testing that I could do they happen to sound great as well - Enermax Digitally monitored fan less power supply and SP fan demo - CES 2014E19
Enermax Digitally monitored fan less power supply and SP fan demo - CES 2014I am seriously excited for their digital monitoring fanless power supply... Digital monitoring was always kinda cool but I never REALLY cared that much until I saw this unit. Being able to check up on a fanless power supply is awesome and I hope it helps to put some fears to rest. - EVGA Hadron Hydro, GTX 780 Ti K|NGP|N Edition & Torx X10 Mouse - CES 2014E21
EVGA Hadron Hydro, GTX 780 Ti K|NGP|N Edition & Torx X10 Mouse - CES 2014EVGA showed us the Hadron Hydro, and the GTX 780 Ti K|NGP|N Edition. Not only that, but holy crap they have a mouse now!

Roccat Ryos TKL Pro, Kone XTD, Cave XTD 5.1 Analog - CES 2014The keyboard market is going to be interesting for the next little while with corsair blowing up the market with their Cherry RGB switches.

Zalman Reserator 3 Max Dual, Z15 all family case, and Zalbar car cameras - CES 2014Will the story of the Reserator 3 Max Dual be one of redemption? Will the Zalbar win you a court case? Will the Z15 literally turn into a lambo? We will see... - Sapphire R9 290 and Trixx (Not a new card, just an overview) - CES 2014E31
Sapphire R9 290 and Trixx (Not a new card, just an overview) - CES 2014Aftermarket 290's are looking more attractive than possibly any other aftermarket card in the past... And I welcomed Trixx onto my bench marking machines with open arms after the update. - Thermaltake 5yr Warranty Key Switches and Urban T81 + Core V71 Cases - CES 2014E33
Thermaltake 5yr Warranty Key Switches and Urban T81 + Core V71 Cases - CES 2014While a 5yr warranty isn't AS bold of a statement on a mechanical keyboard due to how long they last it is still very cool to see Thermaltake stand that strongly behind their product. - Synology NAS DSM 5.0 and IOSafe - CES 2014E34
Synology NAS DSM 5.0 and IOSafe - CES 2014I love NAS systems and in the growing world of cloud storage and snooping eyes I feel like i lean more on the personal cloud side of things... With easy management setups like this I can see myself and my family adopting personal cloud with ease - AMD TrueAudio with Genaudio + HD Oculus - CES 2014E35
AMD TrueAudio with Genaudio + HD Oculus - CES 2014I may have been a little more excited by the fact that I was using a 1080p Oculus for the first time but I really appreciated this demo and can't wait to see even more technology come out that complements the Oculus so well. - Senneheiser G4ME One & Zero Headsets & HD6 Mix, HD7 DJ, and HD8 DJ Pro Headphones - CES 2014E36

ButterFly Labs Mining Cards and Bitsafe Hardware Wallet - CES 2014NSA ties or not Bitcoin is blowing up. Are you going to fight for your coins using things like Butterfly Labs cards or are you just going to trade them using a Bitsafe type device? Or neither? - Mad Genius Controllers - CES 2014E47
Mad Genius Controllers - CES 2014Yup. I'm gonna be all over this kickstarter! There are many ideas built into this that I really enjoy. The ability to just snap it back together with magnets and play normally is great and being able to rip your controller apart to beat some jerk over the head must be satisfying. - ASUS Transformer Book Duet TD300, G750JZ Gaming Notebook, Vivotab Note 8 - CES 2014E48
ASUS Transformer Book Duet TD300, G750JZ Gaming Notebook, Vivotab Note 8 - CES 2014ASUS showed us their Transformer Book Duet TD300, a notebook/tablet that can switch between Android and Windows, the new G750GZ gaming notebook, and the upcoming Vivotab Note 8. - Corning Gorilla Glass with Anti-Microbial Agent & USB3 and Thunderbolt Fiber Optic Cables - CES 2014E49

Audio Technica ATH-AG1 & ATH-ADG1 Gaming Headsets - CES 2014The Audio Technical ATH-AG1 and ATH-ADG1 are (from first impressions) pretty good sounding, but that's not even the best thing about them I think. For a built-in gaming headset these things have AMAZING microphones. Really looking forward to doing a review for y'all! - Microsoft Project Spark - CES 2014E58
Microsoft Project Spark - CES 2014Project Spark honestly looks amazing... Personally I just wish it was on windows 7! Some of the games that we were able to demo were incredibly well refined and its still in beta. I also hope they open it up for people to import their own graphics. - Tobii Eye Tracking by Steelseries - CES 2014E59
Tobii Eye Tracking by Steelseries - CES 2014Many of us look around in video games specifically with the center of our screen especially because the name of the object may highlight if we do so... it could be pretty nice if we could loot while staying combat ready with our aim at the oncoming enemy! - General 3D Printing showcase Featuring 3DSystems - CES 2014E62
General 3D Printing showcase Featuring 3DSystems - CES 2014Holy crap I want a 3D printer... and the selection from 3DSystems was great! I still hesitate though because my wallet is quite afraid... Maybe one day little wallet... Maybe one day... - Sony Head Mounted Display HMZ-T3W - CES 2014E65
Sony Head Mounted Display HMZ-T3W - CES 2014Viewing content on this device is surreal, If I was a jet setter I would definitely consider this device.

Crate Computer Ultimate Gaming AIOThe Crate Computer is a reasonably quiet (although with a little modding it could be quieter), extremely compact, and high performance All In One gaming system. It far surpasses what can be achieved by other AIO's by using aftermarket, gaming-grade components throughout! - Tt eSports (Thermaltake) Poseidon Mechanical Gaming KeyboardE68
Tt eSports (Thermaltake) Poseidon Mechanical Gaming KeyboardThe Poseidon from Tt eSports (Thermaltake) may be one of the best value mechanical keyboards on the market. There are cheaper off-brand options out there, but this one delivers solid BIOS compatibility (something I made sure to try), solid build quality and a nice, bright backlight for a low, low price! - The Lost Archives of CES... Featuring KingstonE72
The Lost Archives of CES... Featuring KingstonWOW this is late... Anyways - I hope you guys enjoyed the Kingston rapid fire technology showcase. Let it be known that when Linus is intentionally trying to troll you it is really hard to act normal and serious. That is all. - Func HS-260 Gaming HeadsetE78
Func HS-260 Gaming HeadsetMy review of the HS-260's from Func covers build quality, ergonomics, and of course how good they sound. Overall, while gaming headsets are not something I use personally, I found them to be a solid offering when I compared them to competing products. - Wii U - What it is, and what it isn'tE79
Wii U - What it is, and what it isn'tThe Nintendo Wii-U was not what made me tired. And I'm sorry about that! We ended up filming this very early in the morning before I started to prep for the WAN show and that resulted in a very tired slick! Hopefully you enjoy it either way, I believe there are reasons to love and to hate the Wii-U and while I may feel a little of both I am happy with it overall so far. - Corsair H105 Liquid CoolerE82
Corsair H105 Liquid CoolerMy H105 unboxing and review is here. This liquid cooler will (in a nutshell) make your CPU slightly more cool than an H100i and slightly less cool than an H110... It also has a bit of a different look to it and some cool PWM fans that are included :D - ULTIMATE Intel Compact SLI Gaming PC Computer "How To" Build GuideE83
ULTIMATE Intel Compact SLI Gaming PC Computer "How To" Build GuideThis ultimate compact gaming PC build guide shows just how much firepower can be crammed into an extremely small enclosure without unsafe temperatures! I hope you enjoy it! - EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified K|ngp|n EditionE85
EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified K|ngp|n EditionWe unboxed, overclocked, and benchmarked the K|ngp|n EditionGTX 780 Ti from EVGA. Honestly. I'm really impressed with this graphics card. EVGA has come so far from being a "rebrander of reference cards" company to one with some serious engineering teeth. - Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2013 - My First eBook ReaderE92
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2013 - My First eBook ReaderThe Kindle Paperwhite and eBook readers in general aren't exactly new but this is my first time really trying to use one, and while there are things I didn't exactly like, the experience won me over. - AMD Mantle Battlefield 4 & Star Swarm Performance and ThoughtsE95
AMD Mantle Battlefield 4 & Star Swarm Performance and ThoughtsI'm sorry this took so long, but due to the BETA nature of AMD's Mantle driver, and DICE's Mantle patch we had some difficulty doing what we set out to do... Which was to determine if, for real actual gamers out there, Mantle was going to make a difference. Some of the issues were caused by our desire to use components that were common in gaming systems (according to Valve's hardware survey) and some of the issues were caused by the BETA nature of Mantle. Either way, it's here now. I hope you enjoy it. - GeForce GTX 750 Ti NVIDIA & ASUS DesignsE96
GeForce GTX 750 Ti NVIDIA & ASUS DesignsOur review of the GTX 750 Ti actually includes TWO cards. We've got a reference design card from NVIDIA designed for maximum compatibility and we've got a non-reference one from ASUS designed for maximum performance (spoiler alert). - Batman Arkham Origins Graphics Card Showdown & Benchmarking ProcedureE115
Batman Arkham Origins Graphics Card Showdown & Benchmarking ProcedureBatman Arkham Origins video card benchmarks are here! We test all the latest gaming graphics cards to see whether AMD or NVIDIA delivers the ultimate B:AO gaming experience! - Acer C720P - My First Chromebook ReviewE118
Acer C720P - My First Chromebook ReviewThe C720P from Acer is the first inexpensive touchscreen Chromebook and also the first of these cryptic devices that I've had the pleasure of playing with. Consider this a review of not only the device, but also my experience with Chrome OS. - Steelseries 9H Tournament Grade Gaming HeadsetE119
Steelseries 9H Tournament Grade Gaming HeadsetMy review of the 9H actually ended up more positive than I expected. It's sandwiched in between the 7H, which I really like and the Siberia Elite, which is a much more premium (and also much more expensive) product. - G.SKILL 64GB DDR3 2400MHz RAM KitE121
G.SKILL 64GB DDR3 2400MHz RAM KitG.SKILL memory was, at the beginning, very niche/high performance stuff at a very high price. Over the years they went from "only for extreme overclockers" to delivering great, stable mainstream RAM but they still haven't lost that niche appeal. This kit right here... Only validated on ONE board officially. So yeah, that's as niche as it gets, but that doesn't change the fact that WE think it's awesome! - Gigabyte Aivia Uranium Wireless Gaming MouseE122
Gigabyte Aivia Uranium Wireless Gaming MouseThe Aivia Uranium wireless gaming mouse from Gigabyte has some seriously solid ideas and awesome technology in it, but needs a little bit more refinement before it finds its way to my mouse pad. With that said, getting around some of my issues with the product is as simple as going to the Gigabyte website and using their guide to determine if this product is right for you! - ASUS Poseidon GTX 780E125
ASUS Poseidon GTX 780The Poseidon GTX 780 from ASUS is the best implemented hybrid air/water cooled graphics card I've ever used. On top of its"on paper" capabilities, it also delivers a pretty significant overclock when you switch from air to liquid cooling, so kudos to ASUS on this one! - KGuard Aurora AR421-CKT001 4 Camera Video Surveillance SystemE127
KGuard Aurora AR421-CKT001 4 Camera Video Surveillance SystemWe've never looked at a home & small office security system before, so this was a bit of a new adventure for us. I don't know how great it is compared to the competition, but it seems like a pretty good value for what we paid and we're definitely going to be using it. - Personal Rig Update 2012 Part 17 - IT'S FINALLY DONE! Project Summary & Deluxe TourE128
Personal Rig Update 2012 Part 17 - IT'S FINALLY DONE! Project Summary & Deluxe TourIt's half an hour of me talking about the process of building up my beast machine and the most B-roll glamour footage we've ever shot of anything... Using our new recording setup (natively recorded in 4K RAW and downsampled to 1080p prores) - Audio Technica ATH-AG1 Gaming HeadsetE130
Audio Technica ATH-AG1 Gaming HeadsetThe ATH-AG1 gaming headset from Audio Technica is a feat of sound engineering. It's the best gaming headset I've heard, and has the best mic I've heard on a gaming headset, but it also comes at a price that I've rarely seen on a gaming headset! - ULTIMATE AMD Kaveri APU PC Computer "How To" Build GuideE131
ULTIMATE AMD Kaveri APU PC Computer "How To" Build GuideThis is our second value build guide, and it also happens to be our second build guide featuring an AMD processor!

Jaybird Bluebuds X - Some Fantastic Bluetooth Earphones!My review of the Jaybird Bluebuds X... Ended up surprisingly positive. Speaking of surprises, I'll spoil one. Y'all have been asking me to show off my badminton skillz for quite some time now, and this video finally includes some (carefully selected for minimal suckitude) footage :P - Bose Companion 5 Desktop PC SpeakersE138
Bose Companion 5 Desktop PC SpeakersBose's Companion 5 speaker system gets the Linus Tech Tips review treatment! This is only our 2nd speaker review ever, so your feedback is welcome even if it's as simple as "stop doing speaker reviews - I don't care". We ARE going to finish our series of 5 reviews that I already worked really hard on, but your feedback will affect our direction in the future :) - HTC One M8 Review & SUPER SECRET SURPRISEE139
HTC One M8 Review & SUPER SECRET SURPRISEMy review of the HTC One M8 is here! Finally a worthy replacement for my One M7 from a year ago. This phone features a stunning ID, lightning fast performance, and aside from a couple of small complaints... is damn near as good as it gets. I hope you guys enjoy this video because I feel like now, one year into doing phone reviews, this is about as good as we can make them... It's a lot of work, but if you guys enjoy it, then it's all worthwhile.... - Logitech G502 Proteus Core - Brand new sensor, Brand new weights PAX East 2014E141
Logitech G502 Proteus Core - Brand new sensor, Brand new weights PAX East 2014The Proteus Core is a very interesting new mouse and a big step away from the G500s. Some things that I would like to add that don't seem to have made it into the final cut for this video is that having the left and right click is on two completely different pieces of plastic and are not connected at all. also that there are mechanical switches under every button not just the L and R buttons. - Galak-Z - a Rogue like space fighter PAX East 2014 UPDATEE143
Galak-Z - a Rogue like space fighter PAX East 2014 UPDATEGalak-Z was a really exciting looking game at PAX Prime and I'm even more excited now.

CoolerMaster NovaTouch - A keyboard that bats for both teams PAX East 2014The CoolerMaster NovaToch will surprisingly be our only keyboard review of PAX East! It is really nice that this style of keyboard will now be easily available to mass market consumers! - HyperX FURY - PAX East 2014E145
HyperX FURY - PAX East 2014We were told by more than one person that Kingston didn't have anything new and to not bother stopping by but we did anyways because I usually like seeing what setup they have at conventions... low and behold they had a whole new product line refresh with their "FURY" line of products! The ID on the heatsyncs for the RAM is very nice in my opinion and I must say I am a fan of the white heatsync with a black PCB! - Intel Quick Sync + OBS - Big performance increase - PAX East 2014E146
Intel Quick Sync + OBS - Big performance increase - PAX East 2014Intel Quick Sync and OBS coming together is great - More performance is good performance and when it is backwards compatible with products you may already own that's just awesome. - 4K display + Alienware 18 + i7 4940MX at 4.0Ghz = AwesomeE147
4K display + Alienware 18 + i7 4940MX at 4.0Ghz = AwesomeThe Alienware 18 is MASSIVE... luckily it packs power with its size and is able to push to a 4k display while running its 4940MX at a turbo of 4.0Ghz! It still blows my mind that they have overclocked this laptop above 5.0Ghz - Aztez - Black, White, and Blood PAX East 2014 UPDATEE148
Aztez - Black, White, and Blood PAX East 2014 UPDATEAztez is a game I have been waiting for on the edge of my seat since the moment I saw it at PAX Prime 2013 - The art style of the game is incredibly attractive and the idea of the combination of a brawler and a strategy game just seems so amazing... I'm excited! - There Came an Echo - Voice activated RTS starring Wil WheatonE149
There Came an Echo - Voice activated RTS starring Wil WheatonI'M SORRY LINUS I WAS KIDDING! In all seriousness though this game looks exciting - this is why I like games in the Indie booth... Also - for those wondering... Yup - that's the voice of Nocturne! - Star Citizen interview with Chris Roberts - PAX East 2014E150
Star Citizen interview with Chris Roberts - PAX East 2014I think the Star Citizen interview could have gone better but I was having a hard time focusing on asking good questions due to the fact that I was fan girling out so hard the whole time... I hope you guys enjoy the video! - Samsung U28D590D 28" Affordable 4K MonitorE151
Samsung U28D590D 28" Affordable 4K MonitorThe U28D590D or 590D for short from Samsung is the monitor that's bringing 4K into the realm of affordability for desktop users. It's 28", boasts 1ms GTG pixel response times, and support for 1B colors... But is it really as perfect as it seems?? - Tagger NFC Ultimate Geeky Easter Egg HuntE152
Tagger NFC Ultimate Geeky Easter Egg HuntI've never heavily used NFC, and it wasn't until Tagger sent us a box of their tags to dink around with that I really looked into some of the amazing stuff you can do with it. This video serves as an example of some sensible things you can do with them and... some other stuff... - ASUS G750JZ Gaming NotebookE155
ASUS G750JZ Gaming NotebookThe G750JZ from ASUS is the latest in their RoG series of notebooks. Its performance is more comparable to a desktop than a typical notebook though, and I have to say I was very impressed by the price:performance ratio of this little guy. I use the word "little" figuratively though. It's kinda beastly. In every way. - Logitech G502 Proteus Core Gaming MouseE159
Logitech G502 Proteus Core Gaming MouseThe Logitech G502 Proteus Core is... Actually pretty freakin' sweet.It uses an all new sensor, and features some ergonomic tweaks to the traditional Logitech mouse shape that I really like. This mouse is a SERIOUS contender for your money. - Tt eSports Poseidon Z Kailh Switch Mechanical Gaming KeyboardE165
Tt eSports Poseidon Z Kailh Switch Mechanical Gaming KeyboardWith the rising popularity of mechanical keyboards based on switches manufactured in China by Kailh versus being manufactured in Germany by Cherry, I figured it would be a good idea to take a look at one! - Fractal Design Node 804 Cube CaseE169
Fractal Design Node 804 Cube CaseFractal Design's Node 804 is a surprisingly thoughtful re-imagining of a case category that I thought was already pretty mature. The front bezel in particular makes use of what would normally be wasted space in a way that I think is incredibly cool. - Silverstone ML05 Tiny ITX PC CaseE170
Silverstone ML05 Tiny ITX PC CaseThe ML05 from Silverstone is physically about as small as it gets without resorting to weird things like external power supplies... And it's REALLY cool... But the challenge for me is that I just don't know WHO this case was built for... - Improve Visual Quality by Running your Monitor at a Non-Native ResolutionE172
Improve Visual Quality by Running your Monitor at a Non-Native ResolutionOGSSAA is a type of anti aliasing that involves sending a higher-than-native resolution signal to your monitor, then downsampling it to native resolution to improve image quality. It won't help with text, but for gaming you may be surprised at the difference! - Steelseries Sensei "Tournament Grade" Wireless Gaming MouseE174
Steelseries Sensei "Tournament Grade" Wireless Gaming MouseThe Sensei Wireless contains the best wireless technology Steelseries could put in it - and frankly based on my experience with the H Wireless I had pretty high expectations for that - and includes some key improvements over the wired version that may have existing Sensei owners considering an upgrade, but I feel like they missed an opportunity here by using a laser sensor instead of an optical one with no acceleration. - Audioengine A5+ Powered Desktop SpeakersE175
Audioengine A5+ Powered Desktop SpeakersAudioengine's A5+ speakers... yeah this is my review of them. I can spoil the surprise a little bit here though if you're clever enough to read the descriptions of videos before you watch them. They're pretty freakin' smurf... - Gigabyte Z97X-SOC FORCE Overclocking MotherboardE178
Gigabyte Z97X-SOC FORCE Overclocking MotherboardThe Gigabyte Z97X-SOC FORCE delivers about as many overclocking optimized features as you could want on a motherboard. Seriously it takes me like 4 minutes to say what they all are and what they do... - Data Storage 3-2-1 Featuring Synology DSM 5E179

Plextor M6e SSD & M.2 Drive Standard OverviewThe Plextor M6e SSD uses the new M.2 standard to break free from the limitations of SATA, but it does so in a fairly interesting way by arriving pre-attached to a PCIe 4x add in card so that you won't have trouble finding something it'll fit in. - ASUS PB287Q 4K Monitor - The One to Rule Them AllE185
ASUS PB287Q 4K Monitor - The One to Rule Them AllASUS has knocked it out of the park with the PB287Q.

If it's time to go 4K, then it's time to go find whichever retailer has the best price on the PB287Q. - GTX 860M SLI vs GTX 880M Featuring the Gigabyte Aorus X7E188
GTX 860M SLI vs GTX 880M Featuring the Gigabyte Aorus X7There are a number of advantages and disadvantages to running a single more powerful GPU or multiple less powerful GPUs, but we've never really had an opportunity to investigate them in the context of a laptop! Here we go! - ControlVR Motion Tracking at E3 2014E202
ControlVR Motion Tracking at E3 2014ControlVR... I want it. I want it now. I can't WAIT to incorporate this into my VR setup... definately the biggest missing link at this point in time!

Fujitsu Scansnap ix500 Small Business ScannerMy review of the Fujitsu Scansnap ix500 is based on what we use it for, so it might not be the most comprehensive thing ever.

Razer Sabertooth Wired Xbox 360 and PC ControllerLuke took a look at the Razer Sabertooth Xbox 360 and PC wired controller.
