OK, this is just for the LTT Forum Best Tech of 2013, who cares about the world just what the forum considered top for 2013.

 

I'll list some of the memorable tech threads that kept popping up even if the first page of the General section was full of them another thread would start none the less.

 

(In no particular order but you should order your list or order this list, I'll do mine in another post, I may miss a few but you can add them if I missed it, or omit the ones you don't like)

 

* Steam OS

* Nvidia Titan

* Nvidia GTX 780

* Nvidia GTX 780Ti

* AMD 7990

* AMD R290

* AMD Crossfire Fiasco

* Windows 8, all of it.

* AMD Mantel

* Nvidia Gsync

* AMD CPU's, APU's, and FX downfall.

* Sony PS4

* Microsoft Xbox One

* Steam Box

* Audio Card

* SSD

* BitCoin, (and the rest of them)

 

Remember just Tech not News. We can maybe do a poll if we can reduce the list.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

Oh man, Windows 8. I remember there was a very...VERY...lengthy post reviewing Windows 8.

Dude you spelled Mantle incorrectly...

I found the best tech was probably none that you listed but I really liked build logs :)

Please become a member of the Linus Tech Tips forum, keep writing smug remarks & let us love you. Peace out.

For me the best piece of tech from 2013 is Google's Chromecast, although I think 2014 will be the year it releases it's full potential!

CPU: AMD FX-8350 | CPU Cooler: H80i | Motherboard: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 | RAM: 8GB Kingston Beast 1866MHz


Case: Define R4 | GPU: Gigabyte GTX 780ti | PSU: Corsair CX600M | SSD: 250GB Samsung 840 EVO


.... and a Partridge in a pear tree!

Nexus 5?

Sony Vaio Pro?

Graphics cards aren't real advancements in tech. You basically listed the tech that you're interested in.

Compatible with Windows 95

NSA does that count?

i guess it depends on what that person is into because alot of the that stuff doesn't seem worthy of being up there for me

for example

* Nvidia GTX 780

* Nvidia GTX 780Ti

oh dear was that YOUR computer i just downloaded a few dozen viruses on when you weren't paying attention?

Yea Missed that, will add.

 

Google Glass?

 

Another miss.

 

Smartwatches? (or "smart accessories" in general)

 

Don't think they're really out yet, more like beta.

 

Mantle*

Sorry to be a spelling Nazi lol

 

Software that's not even out yet, more news than tech.

 

Dude you spelled Mantle incorrectly...

I found the best tech was probably none that you listed but I really liked build logs :)

 

Oh my ghod! I guess we know which side of the Nvida/AMD camp you fall on  :rolleyes: 

 

Dude, mantel means tablecloth in Spanish :|

Aaaaand Samsung ads...

 

Wow, as you know this is an English web site right? Or do you literally take every word that has another language meaning to task?

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

Psst...  in the OP.

 

(In no particular order but you should order your list or order this list, I'll do mine in another post, I may miss a few but you can add them if I missed it, or omit the ones you don't like)

 

EA is not tech.

Another good one.

 

Nexus 5?
Sony Vaio Pro?
Graphics cards aren't real advancements in tech. You basically listed the tech that you're interested in.

 

I don't think the forum went crazy for those two, as for GPU's have you seen the number of GPU threads?

 

Don't forget the new Mac Pro, Apple v Samsung fiasco, NSA Surveillance, Edward Snowden and the Hynix plant fire.

 

Yea the Mac Pro, but NSA and Snowden are news not tech.

 

Again from the OP.

 

Remember just Tech not News.

NSA is news see above.

NSA, floods, fires are news or national disasters not tech.

Defo Next gen GPU wars and the Steam Box.

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

What was (in your opinion) the best tech of 2013?

I think the console market had it won over at the end of the year.
