1
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.
2
How is that possible?
3
Well, I've just spent $12 ,000 buying the next generation of thin tech.
4
Tech that is not just slimmer than anything we've seen, but through feats of engineering, might also be better than the big boys.
5
So let's say you wanted a really thin computer.
6
You could take a PC tower and shave it down, or you could do what hp has just done
7
and shove the entire thing inside of a keyboard just to
8
be clear they call this a desktop class pc with up to 64 gigabytes of ram
9
and it ain't even a particularly thick keyboard my readings say 20 .1 millimeters it's really easy too
10
because it's one cable into a monitor and that powers your pc
11
and keyboard and then you get this mouse included that's automatically prepared to that.
12
I feel like this is designed around being in an office and hot desking.
13
The thing's even got an internal battery so it won't just die when you unplug it to move to another desk.
14
It's to Rocket League in 4k.
15
This actually looks sick.
16
This is max settings.
17
No complaints from me.
18
Oh what is that?
19
Those are some serious fans for a keyboard.
20
I'm not sure that is conducive to a pleasant office environment.
21
Then again I suppose if you're playing Rocket league in the office maybe that's on you
22
that is really loud and it kind of makes sense
23
because they're trying to compress a lot of cooling into not
24
a very large body with not a lot of outlets as
25
a board yeah it's not in the slightest bit mushy i could get used to
26
that i can't hear the keys at all because the band's so loud all right can you turn your keyboard down
27
sorry i'm busy we've got speakers too one's firing out
28
that way one's firing out that way and I can actually hear a stereo effect.
29
Could you argue that this is just a louder bottom half of a laptop that still costs $3 ,000?
30
Maybe you could.
31
So what if we didn't try to cram an entire PC into our board?
32
Well, we could go even thinner with the low -free edge.
33
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...
34
Oh my goodness.
35
This is a complete mechanical keyboard that is 16mm.
36
So I'm excited about this.
37
stocky goodness I didn't think that keys that was
38
so light could have this much weight to them incredible there's
39
an obvious question about whether you need a keyboard to be
40
so thin if it is just sitting on your desk
41
but then how easy would this be to slip it into a backpack
42
if you wanted to take it somewhere
43
and I could see myself wanting to take it somewhere
44
because there's like zero need for my wrists to bend upwards it's
45
so low down not gonna lie I am more of a fan of this, even though this has more of a fan than this.
46
What about this mouse though, because we can't keep using this chonkster.
47
Well last time I tried to find a super slim mouse, what we ended up with had all the ergonomics of a chocolate bar,
48
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.
49
so when you want to take it somewhere it flat packs down to just 14 .1 millimeters
50
and most of that thickness is just the optical sensor i feel like
51
if that didn't poke out you could genuinely use this as a coaster
52
but then when you want to activate it damn it's pretty clever
53
because it's done with a magnet but the magnet actually pops inside of an enclosure
54
which stops it wiggling around
55
when it's in i mean it looks potentially even less ergonomic
56
than the last one this soft squishy pvc like material is actually doing a lot of the hard work for it so there is
57
that element of it it does have the the glossy consistency of like a used kitkat wrapper
58
but weirdly as a mouse it kind of works the clicks feel satisfying
59
and responsive it doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart
60
if i put too much pressure on it one thing they've
61
had to figure out a solution for is obviously you can't have a scroll wheel in something this thin
62
so instead they've turned this area at the front into a touchpad.
63
It does the job.
64
It's a little bit less precise than a scroll wheel.
65
And I suppose at the point where you're making this many sacrifices, would I just use the trackpad built into my laptop?
66
All right, so that's mouse and keyboard cupboard.
67
Now this, you can't have...
68
I think we should do this in post.
69
Because I think I found something better.
70
What is wrong with me today?
71
Something that on first glance kind of looks like Apple designed a chopping board.
72
This is the Sotsu Flip Action Elite Monitor.
73
Yes, a monitor that is 14 .3mm.
74
And it's not just a portable monitor.
75
It's a portable monitor with a completely adjustable stand built in More solid than I was expecting And then,
76
ooh It rotates
77
180 degrees
78
It goes all the way around So you could actually just have
79
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,
80
okay it's also meant to have the color performance of a macbook pro
81
or apple studio display to be fair i don't think they were kidding this looks incredible wow it's
82
so bright too and like seriously this is pin sharp considering
83
that this is a 16 inch screen the fact
84
that its resolution is just over 4k makes it feel very
85
much pro grade plus it's fully aluminium just like most apple
86
products it's not quite vibing with my mouse they've even squeezed in two usb -c ports mini hdmi
87
and an sd card reader so
88
if i just go all the way up here it even
89
auto rotates this is just such a sick product whichever way
90
you look at it now of course your other setup option
91
and actually the even slimmer option is to combine all of those separate parts into one laptop the asus zenbook MacBook S14.
92
That is a hell of a lot lighter than the MacBook that I'm used to.
93
Wow, imagine this every single day.
94
That said, it does come with the exact trade -off you'd expect.
95
Creaky plastic.
96
Well, at least it's eco -friendly, meant to be recycled materials.
97
But thickness -wise, we are all the way down to about 10 millimeters.
98
At least, that's when it's opened.
99
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

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
