Video suggestion, tech ahead of its time

Every once in a while a company makes something that it far ahead of it's time, things that don't show their age for several years. I think it would make an interesting video to take a look at all such tech that has come out in the last 5-10 years. It could be things like phones, computers/laptops, individual computer components. Thoughts?

What is actually supposed to go here? Some people put their specs, others put random comments or remarks about themselves or others, and there are a few who put cryptic statements.

Think it would be interesting, though largely opinionated.

 

Some people think the Gizmodno was ahead of its time, for example. 

Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only)

Wall Of Fame (Informative people/People I like): @Glenwing @DrMacintosh @Schnoz @TempestCatto @LogicalDrm @Dan Castellaneta
