CES 2015 Sponsor Appreciation Thread

[AltBlu]

I picked up one for my Z3... and I accidentally got the one for the Z3 compact instead. I sent a ops report and they sent me the correct protector! they are an awesome company with a amazing product! 

 

[brownix]

While other youtubers get the in room people to explain to the audience instead of hearing it first then the youtubers themselves say everything (like linus and jayz) here is linus using one of the employees as a stand for the device. bravo sir.

[TheKDub]

I can has? 

[Syntaxvgm]

About the desktop CPU in a notebook

Has no one heard of clevo? You can get a damn xeon even! 

[rinslime]

Wow lucky me. I went to PAX and all they had was some LoL crap. I should have gone to CES instead.

[DeViLzzz]

I am praying that Mionix Smart Mouse comes to market.  Please people back that on Kickstarter!  A very cool peripheral!

[pk-man]

will people actually buy that antec cooler for their VCR???

 

i also hear George is more of a boobs man....

[umberts]

Dat 100r has to be mine. I was going to get a spec-02 before I saw the NZXT S340 that is beautiful, especially compared to the spec series IMHO, but then the light.

 

Please release the 100r in Italy ASAP Corsair, was going to buy the components for the build this month!

[ImBleu]

NZXT is based in Cali.

So is NVIDIA.

Therefor, it's meant to be "Zee"

Not "En Zedd Ex Tee  "

Not "Titan Zedd"

 

That's like having a company name in a different language and pronouncing it in your own.

Something Americans are prone to do, actually. 

 

Every time I hear linus say "Zedd" when pronouncing NZXT I wanna hit him with an H440. 

 

Want to talk about an animal called a Zebra? It's pronounced "Zeh-bra" not "Zee-bra" as it was discovered in Africa, by people who pronounced it as "zed". Anyway, I still pronounce it En-Zed-Ex-Tee, I think it sounds better. I do agree on the Titan-zee, as Titan-zed sounds rather bad.

"That probably broke, it's okay though, It's the only one we own. ha."

 

I love George. He needs a youtube channel.

You can just call it Next, too, ya know. I asked the reddit rep and he said that's pretty much what it was meant to be.

Edit: found it myself, thx anyway

[JoaoPRSousa]

Thanks Phantom Glass and HyperX!

 

The videos are great!

[Kev]

Seemed like intel had a gun behind the camera.

[rinslime]

Is it just me or did Linus seem very not-happy to be at the Corsair booth...

 

Just no real enthusiasm or energy throughout the whole video.

 

[cesrai]

Free-sync is true free-sync is true, suck on that fanboys.

Just like to point out:
No Luke, I've not seen the features you didn't cover from other sources already. This is the first video on this new Antec chassis I've seen so since you didn't bother treating it like you're the only one covering it; I have to either go dig up information from other sources or take it as you don't give a frack and neither should I.
Sorry I'm not subscribed to ALL the tech channels. Didn't think it would ever matter.

If it's an abbreviation where you're meant to say every individual letter, you are free to say the letters however you like. Why would a person say letters in English when speaking another language? Same thing with Zed vs Zee. I'm sure no American would ever say Zed if the company was based anywhere else but America.

[DeViLzzz]

Ok I tried really hard to go to the HyperX YouTube channel and watch that Dota 2 stuff but I couldn't make it through the first seconds of the 3rd video going from most recent to older ones.  Sorry HyperX I tried but ...

[Lepp]

Thanks to Phantom Glass and HyperX for sponsoring LTT's trip to CES this year. The videos have been really interesting and have been coming out pretty much once every 3 hours (amazing), something they couldn't have done if not for you. Now if Luke would just stop teasing us about the Phantom Glass video.

Figured I should mention, this was not a case review, it was a short coverage video of what is coming up from Antec. Yes, it is a cop out to say you've probably seen the features from other channels' coverage, but this should be treated more like a preview than a full review. If you're interested in the case, it shouldn't matter that you'll need to do some research, because you should do more than just look at one video, even if it's from a reliable source, when you're deciding on a computer case.

[Inb4uall]

Quoted wrong person.

Lets be real, he was probably super tired.

Great expo, but the fact that they fail twice as often as WD means I can't really find my way towards wanting to purchase them

[image removed to save your scroll finger]

 

 

Funny, I've never lost segate drives personally, but I've lost WD drives. And I've owned tons of segate drives and only a few WD drives. 

Personal subjective experience aside,

I also find very, very hard to believe that Hirachi has a lower failure rate than both segate and WD. 

And why would the failure rate on the 1.5TB drives be that  much higher than the 4TB? That's the opposite of everything I've seen data wise to this point. Usually the less platters is better for that given it's the same housing and whatnot. 

 

Finally, I find the source of this has their own interest in this. They are a cloud backup solution, they are trying to fluff up data to justify that you should use their service instead of buying backup drives. 

 

They did test a hell of a lot of drives, so I will look more into the study though. 

 ______

They were testing Barracuda Greens. No wonder. 

Oh and 

Doing some research on backblaze, kinda like this company.

You should read into charts before just posting them. You didn't even list what drives they were. Or that they were used. Or that the company themselves said that the study is not really intensive

Oh, and an update

[image removed to save your scroll finger]

HGST is a WD subsidiary, and theremnants of Hitachi. I guess they are lumping in the deskstars with the NAS drives from HGST. I don't really know if they are any good, but I have heard good things about their 4TB drives (as for a while the price was perfect causing a lot of people to pick them up.)

That image is thrown around all the time but has no merit.
