00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:12.440
The Cooler Master glacer 240l CPU Cooler delivers the convenience of an

00:00:10.559 --> 00:00:17.080
all-in-one and the performance of a custom water cooler click now to learn

00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:21.199
more well I guess if we do two videos about this it's sort of a series so

00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:26.880
here's our cool technology and gadgets and gizmos under $100 episode 2 we're

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:30.840
going to start with this guy right here this is the most basic concept ever a

00:00:29.240 --> 00:00:35.399
charging cable that you'll always have on you they've got the charge key in the

00:00:33.239 --> 00:00:40.559
shape of a key to go on your key chain and the charge card which unintuitively

00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:44.239
isn't a credit card but rather a cable in the shape of a card to go in your

00:00:41.879 --> 00:00:47.760
wallet they sent us the micro USB version of the charge key but either

00:00:46.360 --> 00:00:52.559
version is also available with a lightning connector for Apple users

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:56.960
their website hellonomad domcom lets you order the product and has an FAQ with

00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:02.199
information ranging from very useful to completely laughable mixed in with what

00:00:59.480 --> 00:01:05.760
speed do your cables charge at are great bits like their 30-day no questions

00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:10.400
asked return policy and lifetime warranty against breakage that covers an

00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:16.360
unlimited number of bins due to the use of high-grade plastics which leads us

00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:18.520
finally to the price it is a flat $25

00:01:16.360 --> 00:01:23.240
for the charge key or the charge card for Android users it's a bit of a tough

00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:30.000
sell I think at monoprice.com I can get over 40 Standard 1 and 1/2t USB micro

00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:35.280
cables for 25 bucks and put five of them in my car five of them on my boat etc

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:40.360
etc but for some folks the convenience of being able to wear it will be a

00:01:37.479 --> 00:01:45.000
selling Factor the lightning cable is much more palatable to me because Apple

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:49.600
users are already going to have to spend about $12 on a lightning cable at

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.600
somewhere like mono price so for only about double the cost of a normal cable

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:58.560
you're getting the convenient one next up we have the pluggable USB to GB

00:01:56.479 --> 00:02:03.360
Ethernet adapter a USB to Ethernet adapter is something most people haven't

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:07.079
really needed in the past but with how much I hate Wireless and the rapid

00:02:05.399 --> 00:02:12.160
disappearance of Hardline networking from even devices like notebooks it's

00:02:09.640 --> 00:02:16.280
becoming really hard for me to get by without one I actually originally bought

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.080
a sabrin USB to gigabit one that worked really well and is now providing the

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:24.720
dual land connectivity I needed to turn my Aspire 1 Netbook into a PF sense

00:02:22.040 --> 00:02:28.640
router but since it was permanently tied up I needed to go back and find a new

00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:32.239
one to use on my Ultrabook and NVIDIA Shield when I want a more reli

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:36.319
connection and the pluggable brand one appears to be the exact same thing it

00:02:34.160 --> 00:02:40.680
works perfectly on my PC and installed driverless on my NVIDIA shield and it's

00:02:38.640 --> 00:02:45.000
$5 cheaper than the other one on Amazon so it's 25 bucks works on Windows Mac

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:50.440
Chromebook Linux and some Android devices as well obviously because it's

00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:55.800
USB 2 you're not getting full gigabit speeds but it's faster than 10100 and

00:02:53.640 --> 00:03:00.159
has better compatibility than a USB 3 solution so that's a tradeoff that I was

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:05.560
willing to make for this one our next item is the titanium smart fast md600 L

00:03:03.799 --> 00:03:10.599
16 Bay nickel metal hydride battery charger and this is something I wish I

00:03:07.799 --> 00:03:13.920
had had years ago compared to the basic Chargers that you can get bundled with

00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:19.480
your anol Loop batteries my favorite rechargeables by the way they offer

00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:24.239
little graphical indicators of charge progress more smart charging features to

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:29.360
make the batteries last longer the obviously higher battery capacity and

00:03:26.640 --> 00:03:33.040
finally a couple of little USB charging ports so you can go ahead and you know

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:38.040
Chuck a phone or a portable battery Bank on it to charge at the same time as all

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:42.400
your other batteries each battery is on its own channel so you don't have to

00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:47.080
populate two adjacent bays at once with identical batteries and the charger can

00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:51.680
monitor the charge state of each Bay individually it charges either doublea's

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:58.400
or AAA batteries and comes with a wall wart as well as a where is it this one

00:03:55.720 --> 00:04:01.560
ha or a 12volt car adapter so you can take it with you pretty much where ever

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.680
we actually took it with us to CES although we weren't driving around there

00:04:03.040 --> 00:04:08.640
but the point that you can travel with it Still Remains the charger is only 50

00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:14.159
bucks and you can get started with the Charger and 16 Anal Loops to fill it up

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:19.440
with for about $100 total so stop wasting money on disposables and switch

00:04:16.400 --> 00:04:22.280
to anal Loops they're absolutely awesome

00:04:19.440 --> 00:04:27.000
which leads us to our last and most expensive product today I'm holding it

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:31.880
upside down this is the air do it's actually not quite shipping yet but the

00:04:29.320 --> 00:04:35.919
indigo Yogo campaign is ending soon and they've got at least a few samples that

00:04:34.039 --> 00:04:40.520
they are finished enough with to send out to reviewers so I spent some time

00:04:38.280 --> 00:04:45.120
with it my sample came with a short windshield mount and a long flexible

00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:50.360
windshield mount that has to be the sturdiest flex ARM I've ever seen I mean

00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:55.199
it is tough to bend and then once you've got it in position it absolutely stays

00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:58.919
then the build quality continues to impress me with a solid feeling ball

00:04:56.960 --> 00:05:03.840
joint at the top that locks into the head where the phone our tablet can rest

00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:08.759
and then I'd say you know the reasonable suction cup so it seemed cool already

00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:12.440
and then stuck to it and then I saw it includes Chi wireless charging with a

00:05:10.520 --> 00:05:16.160
micro USB plug on the side and an included micro USB cable that you can

00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:22.600
run down to your cigarette lighter or whatever else and now it's got my attention because when you consider that

00:05:19.560 --> 00:05:25.880
a decent car mount is 15 to 25 bucks and

00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:27.319
a CH charging pad is $ 20 to $30 this is

00:05:25.880 --> 00:05:33.720
looking pretty competitive at that Indiegogo price of $63 now now throw in

00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:35.400
the kicker the head uses magnets for

00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:42.080
phones with Magnetic mounting plates inside them combined with what air do is

00:05:38.280 --> 00:05:44.199
calling okay magic foam which caused my

00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:48.600
eyes to almost roll out of their sockets to achieve a very strong bond between

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:53.680
your device and the dock without really putting any effort into it but of course

00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:57.160
I needed to see it to believe it it only really works on smooth surfaces so

00:05:55.360 --> 00:06:01.600
you'll want either a smooth backed phone like the LG G2 that I have here or a

00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:05.720
smooth case for existing one but man when it works it's really amazing I mean

00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:10.840
listen to the sound of the bond here in their demo video they even show

00:06:08.440 --> 00:06:17.960
it working with tablets my HTC1 kind of works without my Pink matte

00:06:14.520 --> 00:06:20.919
case when it's backing and the air do

00:06:17.960 --> 00:06:25.120
are perfectly clean so you can kind of see it's you can get a little bit of a

00:06:23.080 --> 00:06:29.120
bond there and the good news is that you can clean it with water and restore its

00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:32.880
stickiness as long as you're careful not to damage Electronics inside but that's

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:38.199
not something that I would trust with my phone day today so stick to the phones

00:06:35.080 --> 00:06:40.160
that airdoc or your friends have

00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:43.319
validated you can check out the phone compatibility list on the Indiegogo

00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:48.120
campaign linked below with the where to buy links to all of this cool stuff also

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:51.440
there and they're also offering deals in their Indiegogo campaign on Chi charging

00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:56.199
cases for some devices that don't already support it and I think you've got about two weeks left to get one at

00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:59.680
the pre-order price once the pre-order price goes away I've yet to see how much

00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:03.319
they're going to be charging for it when it's back up to full pop so you might

00:07:01.960 --> 00:07:08.199
want to check that out while the campaign is still running so full

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:12.759
disclosure Guys these $100 oress Gadget guides are much more like

00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:17.120
recommendations to buy than our other videos so in the interest of making sure

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:19.960
that you guys know what you're watching and what you're looking at I want to

00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:24.000
make sure you understand where these gadgets all came from the anal loops and

00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:29.319
the charger that you saw were bought by me for business use here at Linus Media

00:07:25.840 --> 00:07:30.520
Group the USB to Ethernet adapters I

00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:37.400
actually bought two of them there's another one around here somewhere uh were bought by me for personal use the

00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:40.759
Prototype air do was sent to me for free by the founder of airdoc when I

00:07:38.919 --> 00:07:44.879
expressed interest in the campaign and asked for a sample it's something I was

00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:48.400
about 5050 about funding even if I didn't get a sample of it and now that I

00:07:46.440 --> 00:07:53.479
have my hands on it it has met my expectations so I quite like it and then

00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:58.120
finally the charge key was sent to my editor edzel who thought it was cool and

00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:02.800
I agreed so we didn't pay for that one and particularly for the micro USB

00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:06.280
version I don't think either of us would but we both saw the utility of it and

00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:09.639
figured some people might be interested so we figured we'd throw it into the

00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:14.400
video and show it to you guys speaking of interested if this video was interesting to you and you want to make
