I wasted $867 on Amazon...

**Amazon's Mystery Tech: A Review of the Smart Sticky Note Printer**

I'm ready to expand my horizonswith a very tiny little item. What is this?

These are Elf Ear earbuds. Let's go.

(Jared laughs) - I forgot. It's the humiliation part of Mystery Tech. Okay, I don't like this at all. So, it's got like a little loop for your ear. You're supposed to put the headphone in and I guess loop this in the front and back.

It smells not good. Like it smells like ears. No, it smells like silicon, actually. How do I - I loop it backward? - No, no, no, no, no, no, no. - You have to undo it like an umbrella. Like it's like when the wind hits it and like, it's like inside out.

You have to like un-pop it. What are any of you saying right now? Please, hear me. Thank you. Don't ever say ear me ever again. There you go. Wow. Are we feeling it now?

You ready to go to Comic-Con? Can you feel it now, Mr. Krabs? Art thou feeling it now, Mr. Krabs? We're gonna get you a little like Link outfit.

(people laughing) He looks like he's aboutto give me the firstquest in my RPG. (people laughing) Village elder, getting down.

(p people laughing) How much is my new Cosplay future? - These are only $14. Whoa. Yeah. So, there's an item on Mystery Tech that serves its intended function, is kind of neat and affordably priced.

I'm speechless. What am I supposed to say? It does what it says and it's cheap. I'd like to ask you to subscribe and ring-a-ling the ding-a-ling bell. Cause otherwise my emoarc will be long and dark.

(tape rewinding) (box thudding) Pretty happy with that catch, day one additions. Okay, so immediately I'm concerned. The reason why I'm concerned is that day one additions, launch additions, limited editions, are usually what you slap on the box when you're trying to ship something which is not complete.

What does it say? - Amazon.com/devicesupport. Aah. What is a day one addition of an Amazon product?

A compatible echo device is required to pair your printer. (object thudding) Smart Sticky Note Printer day one addition. So, you print out a sticky note? Isn't that what a Sharpie's for?

(crickets chirping) I have nothing. Yeah, I mean. I haven't got nothing either. What, what, what? - Have we ever been speechless?

We've got ourselves a role of thermal paper which I will say does not look like a sticky note at all. This is already more work than just going to Target and buying a sticky note and writing it yourself.

I'm trying to keep an open mind here. It could be cool, but also I'm so confused as to why Mr. Bezos would have ever green lit such a product.

That was fairly gentle.Thank you very much.So, this is, my friends, is the sponsorof today's Mystery Tech, theLenovo Gaming Chromebook.Yeah, you heard me right.Need I say more?- Yeah. What is a Gaming Chromebook?- Well, I'm glad you asked.This is a 16 inch panel,16 by 10,2560 by 1600 resolution.And importantly, it isrunning at a full 120 FPS.GeForce Now has been aroundfor a little while nowbut this might be one of thebest devices to play it with.Not only does it come with a three monthfree trial of the RTX3080 tier, which meansthat you're getting a fullRTX 3080 in the cloud.But that also means thatyou can stream gamesat up to 1440 P and 120 frames per second.Like that's one of the mainadvantages of a Chromebook.And specifically with this,is that you're gettingthe features that are really importantlike the display, like your RGB keyboard.But you're also getting full compatibilitywith Cloud Gaming Services.What do you do?What's like BM in Fortnite?You emo'd, no, no, youemo'd on him, right?- Yeah. Well you...♪ Do, do, do, do, do, do ♪♪ Do, do, do, do ♪Yeah, whatever danceyour character had, yeah.- I am now recording usingmy Gaming Chromebook.- Let's see you get that,ah, what's the opposite of a dub?- The L.Zero build.Pss.- Yes, that's the better one.- It's so weird.I'm not used to ever seeing ahigher refresh rate experiencewhen you're actuallyplaying via cloud game.Again, I am doing nothing special here.Now, I am on a Wi-Fi 6network here at the office.And to be fair, we do have good Wi-Fi.So, this is one of the things you can saywith cloud gaming is thatyour internet connectionis, of course, one of themost important things.Oh, someone's shooting me.Someone's shooting me.You can't do that!That's cheating!- I think that was already there.- Okay, so, here's the thing.Having high performance gamingperipherals is importantbut skill also necessary.This is an excellent Chromebook.You've got 11 hours of battery life,plenty of performance for regular tasks.But on top of that, you've alsogot that high refresh rate,high resolution display,which pays dividendsnot only for regular use,but especially when it comes to gaming.So, if you're interested in learning moreabout the Lenovo Gaming Chromebook,definitely be sure to check it outat the link in the description.A huge shout-out to Lenovofor sponsoring thissegment of Mystery Tech.(scene whooshing)(box thudding)Is this an iPhone?Oh wait, hold on, hold on.Oh, it's actually in there, isn't it?- What do you think this is? A game?- I mean, usually you guyspull shenanigans. Yeah.- We've never pulled a shenanigana day in our lives.- Okay, I'm gonna open up.- Surprise! It's a Zenfone 9.- I knew it.Why is a Zenfone-Ooh, why is a Zenfone 9 in an iPhone box?- Because I might have thrown awaythe box before Mystery Tech but-- You opened an item of Mystery Tech?- Yes.'Cause I'm making a Denki video on this.- Okay, so now I get thisnonsense out of here.(glass shattering)This my friends, is the ASUS Zenfone 9.What we've got here isa smaller Android devicethat packs what seems tobe an impressive cameraand some features that youprobably haven't seen in a while.This is some ancient technologycalled the headphone jack.A little bit of a strange alien concept,but theoretically, youcould plug in headphonesto your phone.Even though it is asmall size of a device,the thickness is a little bit chunky.I mean, you put it beside a Z Flip,which is obviously avery, very thick phone.It's not that much thinner,but it makes sense, right?If you're gonna make asmaller sort of form factorof a phone, you gotta flex somewhere.It has two cameras that has an ultra-wideand it has a gimbal maincamera, 50 megapixels.- Which the gimbalonly works in 1080.- Gimbal should be hardware,not resolution-based.- Gimbal is more of a state of mind.(rainbow tinkling)- So, I amnow recording on the Zenfone.And while I'm gonna tryto be nice and smooth,I mean, it is doing alot of stabilization.- Do you think for 700 bucksthis beats the value of an iPhone 13,which is the same price?- It depends, for camera,I'd still get the iPhone 13.But I do think that on the Android side,this is really competitive for 700.- If you're looking for a small device,the Zenfone 9 certainly seemslike it is well worth a look.And it's also worth a lookto go check out Ken's videoall about the Zenfone 9.Apparently an Xperia or something.- Wait, and you're gonna scratchthe back of your Z Flip, dude.Okay.- Wear less tighter pants.Make-- Austin in cargo shorts?(soft upbeat music)(scene whirring)- We've got an Apple bag.Is this an actual Apple product?- Yes.- Is it really?- I took a tripup to San Jose to visit some friendsand went to Apple Park andpicked you something up.- Is this a gift from Tim Cook personally?- No, he hates you.- Are these children's clothes?- Yes.- Did you buy me children'sclothes from the-- That is what you wear, isn't it?- So, there are two onesieshere for no particular reason.Not like I would ever havea personal use for a onesie.- Are you saying youdon't have a son anymore?- So, if you'd like to indoctrin-I mean, ah, get your childlooking stylish early.You can give them the green apple.Oh, you know, I like the factthat the buttons are color-matched.That's a very-- That's kinda cute actually.- That's a very like sortof on b rand kind of thing.Also, I'm a big fan of thethree-snap on the bottom.I don't like the extra snaps now.I know that there's a snap for the headbut that's not as important.I think you can justshove their head in there.Their heads aren't important.Now, this one's a little bit smallerbut I immediately like this'cause this is the rainbow logo.A is for Apple.- Oh, that's adorable.- That's really good.Now, these snaps are for the big head.Yeah, go ahead.- Lightning or USB-C.Do you have the promodel or the poor model?- Promotion, 120 burpsper minute. (laughing)- Oh.- I would've waitedfor next year's model.That's like-- You know, the older modelsare better. (laughing)- You could always get a refurbish.(Austin laughing)- Can we move on to the nextitem in Mystery Tech, please?- You're the one who controls this.- Truer words have neverbeen both true and falseat the same time. (laughing)(scene whipping)What's Empyre?(box thudding)It says it on the box.Atlas Custom, wait, wireless gaming mouse?Wait, is this just a Model O rip off?It's got replaceablehot-swappable switches.That's okay.I guess I will just admit thatI am not a mouse aficionado.I feel like I would probablyjust tweak the mouse onceand never touch it again.So, we've got ourselves the very,very lightweight regular shelland we have the mouse itself.(mouse clicking)Sounds like a mouse.You can swap out the main grip to gofrom honeycomb aka trypophobia warningto a more regular standard version.And you also can do thatfor the top as well.I've never played around withswitches for my mouse before.- It's definitely not as commonas keyboards are right nowbut I think there arecompanies out to change that.That's actually a veryinteresting way to do it.- Oh and then you put them, yeah.- Yeah.They're on their own little caddy.- Yeah.- That you can just pull outwith your hands,so you actually don'thave to go super-crazylike you would even ona hot-swap keyboard.- Okay. All right.So, I'm gonna do a full test.So, these are theseswitches that come with it.These are the Huanos, these are the blues.So.(switches clicking)Okay.Pretty decent.Now, we're gonna moveon to the red switches,which are Kailhs.(switches clicking)All right, I'm gonna doone red and one blue.(switch clanking)All right.Now, let's do my left versus right click.So, left click.(mouse clicking)Right click.(mouse clicking)- It's subtle but I can hear it.- That sounds exactlythe same to me. (laughs)- The true super fans knowthat the blue has 0.036 DBsmore of pressure thatgive it an actuation pointof third degree past center.- One sounded deeper thanthe other, just vaguely.- That's what I said.(Austin laughing)- Oh, and we've got ourselves some RGB.We got a little underglow aswell as the actual logo itself.I'm looking at all of this,I don't think there's anything herebesides the hot-swappable switchesthat would really make me wantto go for this over somethinglike a Model O.Which really begs the question,how expensive is this?- The price of the switchesper pair, is five bucks.The price of the shell is $6 a piece.The mouse itself is $90.- No, no.As a wireless mouse, 90bucks is a lot of money, man.- No dude.What are you talking about?- That's not bad for 90 bucks.- All right, all right,all right, all right.If swappable mouse switchesare the way you wanna live your life,then let me not stand in your way.But let the light of freedom and justicelead the way(eagle shrieking)to your promised land.I'm just gonna use the Model O.- Okay, Uncle Sam.(dramatic music)
