Shadowing Practice: I spent $12,000 on the THINNEST Tech - Learn English Speaking with Video

Inside this one envelope, I have a power bank, a phone case, an e -reader, a full -size keyboard, mouse, monitor, and an entire desktop -class PC.

How is that possible?

Well, I've just spent $12 ,000 buying the next generation of thin tech.

Tech that is not just slimmer than anything we've seen, but through feats of engineering, might also be better than the big boys.

So let's say you wanted a really thin computer.

You could take a PC tower and shave it down, or you could do what hp has just done

and shove the entire thing inside of a keyboard just to

be clear they call this a desktop class pc with up to 64 gigabytes of ram

and it ain't even a particularly thick keyboard my readings say 20 .1 millimeters it's really easy too

because it's one cable into a monitor and that powers your pc

and keyboard and then you get this mouse included that's automatically prepared to that.

I feel like this is designed around being in an office and hot desking.

The thing's even got an internal battery so it won't just die when you unplug it to move to another desk.

It's to Rocket League in 4k.

This actually looks sick.

This is max settings.

No complaints from me.

Oh what is that?

Those are some serious fans for a keyboard.

I'm not sure that is conducive to a pleasant office environment.

Then again I suppose if you're playing Rocket league in the office maybe that's on you

that is really loud and it kind of makes sense

because they're trying to compress a lot of cooling into not

a very large body with not a lot of outlets as

a board yeah it's not in the slightest bit mushy i could get used to

that i can't hear the keys at all because the band's so loud all right can you turn your keyboard down

sorry i'm busy we've got speakers too one's firing out

that way one's firing out that way and I can actually hear a stereo effect.

Could you argue that this is just a louder bottom half of a laptop that still costs $3 ,000?

Maybe you could.

So what if we didn't try to cram an entire PC into our board?

Well, we could go even thinner with the low -free edge.

And while the last time we tried to cover an ultra -thin keyboard, it came with a slight drawback of no actual keys, this is a completely...

Oh my goodness.

This is a complete mechanical keyboard that is 16mm.

So I'm excited about this.

stocky goodness I didn't think that keys that was

so light could have this much weight to them incredible there's

an obvious question about whether you need a keyboard to be

so thin if it is just sitting on your desk

but then how easy would this be to slip it into a backpack

if you wanted to take it somewhere

and I could see myself wanting to take it somewhere

because there's like zero need for my wrists to bend upwards it's

so low down not gonna lie I am more of a fan of this, even though this has more of a fan than this.

What about this mouse though, because we can't keep using this chonkster.

Well last time I tried to find a super slim mouse, what we ended up with had all the ergonomics of a chocolate bar,

but no longer, because the MyAir Zero Ori mouse, a name clearly chosen by someone who never had to say it out loud, has two distinct states.

so when you want to take it somewhere it flat packs down to just 14 .1 millimeters

and most of that thickness is just the optical sensor i feel like

if that didn't poke out you could genuinely use this as a coaster

but then when you want to activate it damn it's pretty clever

because it's done with a magnet but the magnet actually pops inside of an enclosure

which stops it wiggling around

when it's in i mean it looks potentially even less ergonomic

than the last one this soft squishy pvc like material is actually doing a lot of the hard work for it so there is

that element of it it does have the the glossy consistency of like a used kitkat wrapper

but weirdly as a mouse it kind of works the clicks feel satisfying

and responsive it doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart

if i put too much pressure on it one thing they've

had to figure out a solution for is obviously you can't have a scroll wheel in something this thin

so instead they've turned this area at the front into a touchpad.

It does the job.

It's a little bit less precise than a scroll wheel.

And I suppose at the point where you're making this many sacrifices, would I just use the trackpad built into my laptop?

All right, so that's mouse and keyboard cupboard.

Now this, you can't have...

I think we should do this in post.

Because I think I found something better.

What is wrong with me today?

Something that on first glance kind of looks like Apple designed a chopping board.

This is the Sotsu Flip Action Elite Monitor.

Yes, a monitor that is 14 .3mm.

And it's not just a portable monitor.

It's a portable monitor with a completely adjustable stand built in More solid than I was expecting And then,

ooh It rotates

180 degrees

It goes all the way around So you could actually just have

that up there And then you could stick your MacBook underneath that And have an entire second display Also, being able to rotate it like that Gives it an unexpected amount of height too Okay,

okay it's also meant to have the color performance of a macbook pro

or apple studio display to be fair i don't think they were kidding this looks incredible wow it's

so bright too and like seriously this is pin sharp considering

that this is a 16 inch screen the fact

that its resolution is just over 4k makes it feel very

much pro grade plus it's fully aluminium just like most apple

products it's not quite vibing with my mouse they've even squeezed in two usb -c ports mini hdmi

and an sd card reader so

if i just go all the way up here it even

auto rotates this is just such a sick product whichever way

you look at it now of course your other setup option

and actually the even slimmer option is to combine all of those separate parts into one laptop the asus zenbook MacBook S14.

That is a hell of a lot lighter than the MacBook that I'm used to.

Wow, imagine this every single day.

That said, it does come with the exact trade -off you'd expect.

Creaky plastic.

Well, at least it's eco -friendly, meant to be recycled materials.

But thickness -wise, we are all the way down to about 10 millimeters.

At least, that's when it's opened.

So the question is, which is the better experience?

100

Do you bother with all of this?

101

Or actually, should you just do what most people do.

102

So if you can play the game just as well, I think we might have our answer.

103

Okay, let's open up Rocket League on both and see which does it faster.

104

Oh, it's actually slightly, slightly quicker on the Asus.

105

That I didn't expect.

106

The other thing you can tell, though, if you look at the blacks in this loading screen, can you just see, as great as this Sotsu monitor is, that the OLED screen you get on this always wins for contrast.

107

So we already know that the game runs smooth and it looks sharp on our desktop setup.

108

It's a very respectable gaming experience for a set of products

109

you could just shove into a backpack oh oh my gosh yeah okay

110

so immediately this is actually running at double the frame rate

111

that that was because this screen is 120 hertz versus 60 it just looks

112

and plays even better i wasn't expecting that plus also

113

i can barely hear the thing compared to the racket this

114

thing's kicking off i was also thinking oh well you know

115

it's a mid -range windows laptop the trackpad is going to absolutely suck it's actually really smooth and responsive

116

so i think in the pursuit of trying to build the

117

thinnest desk setup we've actually just built a deconstructed laptop and

118

that is actually less good than just buying the real thing

119

but now it is time to flatten the biggest screen in

120

the house with lg's brand new oled evo ai w6 tv

121

our sponsor i brought this thing all the way to my in -laws house

122

because i want to surprise them with a living room upgrade

123

i told them we're doing a video on the history of tvs and we needed theirs for some history.

124

Three, two, one.

125

Oh my God.

126

Oh my God.

127

You know, I've come to realize there's actually two reasons why they call this the wallpaper TV.

128

First, that it's so thin, it literally looks like you would have to paste it onto your wall.

129

Cracking out the ruler, we are now in the nine millimeter range

130

and it feels even thinner than that because while most TVs, they jut out a little bit from the wall, this W6 is designed to sit completely flush.

131

But the thing that I'm struggling to grasp is not actually the thinness, it's the picture quality.

132

Because within this sub -10mm body, LG's managed to cram in their hyper -radiant colour tech.

133

Or in other words, all the perfect blacks and colours of OLED.

134

Plus a level of brightness that you don't normally see paired with that.

135

Thanks to their brand new Alpha 11 AI processor 4K Gen 3 and its dual AI engine.

136

They've managed to fit in reflection -free premium.

137

And then if you're wondering how almost every cable disappeared, this thing is even true wireless.

138

So the only thing that it needs is this zero connect box tucked away anywhere within 10 meters of the screen.

139

And all of a sudden, anything that you need to plug in only needs to plug in to the box.

140

And it will just wirelessly stream to the TV in visually lossless 4K 165 hertz.

141

The second reason that they call this the wallpaper is

142

while you have LG's Gallery Plus with thousands of art pieces that you can display, you can also turn it into your own wallpaper.

143

Let's see how the in -laws react to this when they're back.

144

And while we wait, I'm sure this has nothing to do with my current life stage, but I've started getting a ton of ads for multi -tools.

145

Usually I ignore them.

146

I don't really want to lug one around.

147

Then I saw the next tool.

148

14 tools packed into a 7 .4mm gift card -sized body.

149

So for example, an unboxing knife.

150

Yeah, that is sharp enough to cut a box.

151

And because of the way it locks in place, you can put a lot of pressure on it.

152

There's a bottle opener.

153

Oh, it's pretty clever how that one locks too.

154

No way.

155

Wow, that's cool.

156

Fresh can of Tech Cola. That works.

157

It says zero calories on here.

158

Isn't this full fat coke?

159

It's a Tech Cola.

160

I've been conned.

161

Multifunctional pliers.

162

Is there anything we've been struggling to unscrew recently?

163

Sure.

164

Oh, easy as pie.

165

And then when you're done with the thing, I love that snap.

166

Oh, that's a lot.

167

I'm starting to understand why dads think they're so cool when they have a multi -tool.

168

Does this bring the dads to the yard?

169

I mean, it could literally, because the yard is where the tools are.

170

No, we should just move on.

171

But if the multi -tool is impressive by being gift card sized, what about a gaming console that's literally sold as a gift card?

172

I'm not gassing.

173

This is how you're meant to buy a gamer card.

174

You pull it off the rack, you pay, and then you play.

175

That's probably why they've vomited out the entire instruction manual on the back of the thing.

176

Because that's all the documentation you're getting.

177

So there's six indie games preloaded on the thing.

178

Can't say I've ever heard of these, but let's jump into Blue Kid 2.

179

Oh yeah, there are speakers here too.

180

Although as you'd expect, pretty tinny sounding.

181

Having had no experience playing Blue Kid, this does feel like knockoff Mario.

182

Oh, it is cool to see

183

that they've actually built the game around the specific double control pad things that you have here.

184

So this isn't just a lazy port.

185

That said, I think this game requires a little more dexterity than these controls are able to provide.

186

There's actually just a set of four buttons below each of these pads, and they're not quite as responsive as I'd want them to be.

187

Then again, the screen looks kind of amazing, especially considering the thing's 6 .7mm total thickness.

188

It's just a little bit strange that the entire purpose of this device is effectively to be an impulse purchase.

189

The idea that someone would be heading towards the till and then be like, oh yeah, wait, I forgot my gum and a gaming console.

190

It definitely has the call factor to make you think about it, but I don't think I would personally pull the trigger.

191

It actually has triggers on the back.

192

It's such an interesting position for them.

193

I have to put my index fingers into little claws and then...

194

Is it too thin for its own good?

195

Possibly.

196

There's definitely an argument to be made that

197

if you're going to buy a piece of tech that fits in a birthday card, that you might be better served with Xiaomi's ultra -thin power bank.

198

But just how thin is ultra -thin?

199

6 .5 millimeters.

200

6 .5 millimeters, and that includes the metal body, all the components for it to charge things both wired or wirelessly, the magnets to make it mag -safe,

201

And then the actual 5 ,000 milliamp hour cell itself.

202

Nice snap.

203

Why does this look exactly the same shade of orange as the iPhone?

204

Yeah, so it's like you cover up the Apple logo.

205

Maybe people will think it's a Xiaomi phone.

206

Very cool though, but even with this, it's barely losing any of the pocketability that it had.

207

Because it's only a tiny bit thicker there than it is at the camera module anyway.

208

They've even got four tiny little battery level indicators.

209

Okay, so the phone's charging, and now if we plug some earbuds in, yeah, those are on too.

210

It will charge both the phone and the earbuds at the same time.

211

Now, I'm not normally a massive advocate of using a power bank to charge your phone wirelessly, because you've already got this very limited capacity, and wireless just wastes more energy.

212

But hey, if you're gonna, I've not seen a more stylish way to do it than this.

213

Yeah, I know, the earbuds are not thin earbuds.

214

Disgusting.

215

I didn't mean to drop that, by the way.

216

but fear not because the sciax fold buds should be the solution

217

oh my goodness i was ready for them to be thin

218

but i didn't expect them to be this tiny i need to mince bigger than

219

that this is a set of true wireless earbuds earbuds

220

that even with their charging case are just 6 .4 millimeters thick

221

and i never really thought of air pods as a thick product

222

but next to these they look like they're made for giants

223

do you have a spare grain of rice there's just one

224

a small grain of rice you know what it's still thinner than

225

that that's mental saix what did you do they're mini enough

226

that they're actually designed to work in an entirely different way to a typical pair of earphones

227

so they come with this adapter

228

that plugs into the usbc port of your phone use a

229

bit of 3m tape to stick it permanently to the back

230

and then you stick the earbuds case into that mechanism so

231

that does not move anywhere now i love the idea of your earbuds never needing to be charged again

232

because they're just passively taking power from the iphone and

233

if you want to charge the iphone it gives you a

234

usbc port back it's actually quite nice to have a product

235

that's physically stuck down given my butterfingers today disgusting right moment of truth

236

so when you want to listen to them pull your finger around lift the lid up wow

237

so they're not just thin buds they're actually transforming buds oh my god

238

so they've got a tiny little spring inside of them that's what allows them to stay as thin as

239

that when they're not in use but then jump out to

240

that when you want to use them okay i would say these sound about as good as apple's wired earpods

241

which is to say they're not gonna envelop you in a cloud of bass

242

but they're perfectly fine the main thing i noticed though

243

or actually didn't notice is the fact that they were there

244

because they're so thin they're also so light i'm actually pretty impressed with

245

that especially considering how easy this just makes life in general.

246

You plop them back in when you're done.

247

It's all magnetic.

248

That shuts and you continue on with your day.

249

You can't lose them.

250

Or at least you can't lose your earbuds so long as they're in the case.

251

That's the other benefit of them being stuck down.

252

Notice too, metal casing.

253

Again, which makes sense when you're engineering for extreme thinness.

254

Metal's going to be strong even when there's not a lot of it and better at conducting heat away.

255

Surprisingly well thought out product but I'm a big fan.

256

I feel like we're building a portfolio of things to stick on the back of your phone here, but what I wouldn't have expected to be adding to that list is an e -reader.

257

This is mad.

258

And then snaps to the back of your phone.

259

Where are we now with thickness?

260

5 .5 millimeters.

261

So you can import books or PDFs with one tap from the app and then

262

when you're in them it's just forward with this right button backwards with this left button i love how entirely

263

and effortlessly one -handed this experience is plus the screen actually

264

fits a lot more text than i was expecting it's a

265

little bit slow to load new images i promise i read

266

more than just picture books i'm torn between two thoughts one is

267

that surely anything you can read on this you could also just read on the front of your phone

268

so you're going to all this effort of buying charging

269

and then carrying around this whole extra gadget all to read the same thing on a tinier screen

270

but then on the other hand it blows my mind

271

that you could carry an entire library in this i love

272

how distraction free it feels the e -ink display is better for eye strain than your phone

273

and it uses such little power

274

that even with its tiny size this thing still lasts like

275

14 days on a charge okay yeah i like this i like this whoa

276

that's the drop counter yeah oh yeah there is also a newer pro version too this has a backlight

277

and a touch screen

278

but they didn't quite align it with the back of your phone it just protrudes out ever

279

so slightly from the bottom why didn't they just position the magnets lower

280

so it sat like that plus it's also thicker so get

281

that out of here what can i say my standards for thinness are going up

282

or down and this thing probably ain't gonna help that okay we're in so this is the moffed laptop stand

283

so you stick it to the bottom of your laptop

284

and i guess that's the benefit of it being

285

so slim you practically forget it's there

286

because of these rubber feet i'd actually go as far as to say

287

that that adds zero millimeters of thickness and it means

288

that anytime you want some better working posture you just oh my goodness

289

that actually can take a serious amount of pressure and then if you If you want to lower it, this piece falls outwards and then it settles at that height instead.

290

Well, hello!

291

Where have you been all my life?

292

There's definitely some clever physics going on here.

293

I mean, this is a proper load -bearing structure.

294

And what is this, like 3 .1 millimeters?

295

It looks borderline two -dimensional.

296

I would go as far as to say that that massively improves the ergonomics of using a laptop.

297

And if anything, that addresses the one weakness that this previously had over the desktop setup.

298

That's awesome, to be honest.

299

so i have no idea what that makes this the thinnest phone case in the world from nomad

300

i'm not sure we can accurately call this a phone case considering it doesn't actually cover the sides at all

301

but at the very least it's an alternative to one

302

and you can see the appeal let's say you weren't worried at all about dropping your phone

303

and really it was just the build -up of wear and tear over time, then why not just slip on one of these magnetic leather backs?

304

It keeps the look and feel of your phone, but just with a fancy executive twist.

305

MagSafe still works.

306

It feels solidly attached because it's not just a magnet, but also four sticky pads.

307

It's got a raised lining, which is going to keep your cameras protected and even just a nice bit of grip to it, all while adding just 2 .2 millimeters of thickness.

308

I think the idea of this completely works it's just this

309

particular iteration of it it feels a little plasticky compared to what you'd expect

310

when you order a fancy leather item oh

311

and i just scratched it i just tried to brush a

312

piece of dust off it with my nail i also think

313

i'm too attached to my built -in phone case stands to use one of these

314

but it's a choice i would respect the other thing

315

that every executive needs is a pen

316

and you might be thinking aaron no that's not thinner than the previous product but with the jet stream edge, it's really all about the tip.

317

This is the thinnest ballpoint nib in the world.

318

We're talking about 0 .3 millimeters.

319

I can't even see it with my eyes.

320

Thankfully, our macro lens can.

321

Can you just about make out that tiny little ball at the end?

322

Well, that should mean that we're getting both immense precision, but also the smooth fountain pen -like writing experience that you expect from a ballpoint.

323

So with a regular old ballpoint pen, what is the smallest subscribe I can write?

324

Okay, at about that size, the letters are turning into an indistinguishable mush.

325

So what's the smallest I can write with a Jetstream?

326

Whoa, this is sick.

327

Can you even read that from where you are?

328

No. Can our lens do this?

329

That's the question.

330

Wow.

331

That's next level.

332

I feel like I've just approached the limits of human dexterity.

333

So that's the smallest subscribe with a normal pen this is

334

what i could do with the world's thinnest now i hear

335

you ask Aaron before you surprise your in -laws with this tv what products do you plan to top

336

that with well how about the world's thinnest light made

337

so thin by the fact that you can literally paint it on

338

not an exaggeration this company lumilor has figured out that

339

when you spray a surface with these four specific layers of paint it becomes electrified layer one the conductive base layer Basically,

340

this is a layer of copper paint.

341

Two, this is the insulating layer.

342

This stops the light from shorting out.

343

It basically just makes sure that it works.

344

Three is the phosphor, particles that emit light when placed in an electric field.

345

Which are also fluorescent.

346

So the best way to see what I'm painting is getting them under some UV.

347

I can't say I've done this before.

348

Four, another conductive layer, which turns this into a circuit now this layer has to be transparent

349

so you can see the phosphor beneath it

350

but oh my gosh it's working

351

so as long as i make sure this layer covers the whole surface

352

and as long as it's dry hence the heat gun we have light

353

and so obviously this is me we had to do this to the absolute extreme

354

so here is my complete ps5 paint job three two one go

355

oh my god

356

that is beautiful that's way better than i expected this is definitely above the pay grade of our little ruler

357

but um safe to say this is thin tech just to

358

clarify how insane this is this means you can paint light onto anything any shape any contour

359

and it's water resistant it glows through fog or rain

360

while being so energy efficient that it is cool to the touch

361

so people are using this for all sorts from making their

362

cycling helmets light up for safety to getting their cars to

363

glow for well i guess just clout oh we better go we did a little upgrade so look at

364

that oh my god do you notice something a bit strange

365

about it it's just like to the wall it's like basically

366

to the wall it's pretty incredible right like they call it

367

the wallpaper tv oh wow look at the colors oh my god i can't believe it

368

and the soundbar and the soundbar oh you're welcome you're bringing presents yeah every time

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
