0:05
since you're still gonna be spending a whole lot of money just maybe a bit less
0:11
because it's prime day and we're here to tell you what the best tech deals that
0:16
we found in spite of amazon's site being a steaming pile of
0:26
did you guys know there's such thing as prime day every day though how's that
0:30
possible great question with our sponsor honey honey is the free browser
0:35
extension that helps you get the absolute best deals possible on sites
0:38
like amazon because as a lot of people have pointed
0:42
out the deals on the actual prime day are not necessarily the best deals of
0:45
the year on those items so like we said amazon's been crashing
0:49
like crazy since prime day started so we might have missed a couple things
0:54
we're sorry alex did his best but uh you
0:57
know there's only something puppy fever what are you even talking about puppy
1:02
fever i really like dogs
1:05
to start out for maybe the first time in 2018 the nintendo switch is on sale so
1:10
you can get the switch console 64 gigs of memory and a 20 credit for the
1:15
nintendo store for 299 us it is possible
1:19
these are already sold out but it's hard to say since searching nintendo switch
1:23
just crashes amazon if you need a couple more FPS then you'll get on a console
1:26
we've got you covered with enough details to build an entire pc on the
1:30
cheapish first of all for graphics if you're a baller pick up a gtx 1080 the
1:35
evga ftw version to be precise for just 500 bucks or if you don't have quite
1:40
that much cash lying around you can step down to the three gig gtx 1060 for just
1:45
180 bucks now that we've got a GPU we need a CPU and board well
1:50
good news there's a deal on amazon but uh new egg is actually the place to go
1:54
for that today since you can pick up a core i7 8700k and ASUS prime z370 for
2:00
just 424.98 wow that is a really good deal that is considerably less than
2:04
amazon with all six of those cores under the hood you can start your game stream
2:08
and start up your game and then grab an elgato stream deck currently
2:12
just 130 bucks we'll have a link for that below as well for storage there's
2:16
some freaking crazy deals on right now if you want an m.2 SSD you can pick up a
2:21
240 gig model from kingston for just 70
2:24
dollars or if you need a bit more storage albeit at a slower speed the sam
2:29
disc 480 gig SSD the one we've got linked down there is just 80 bucks
2:34
that's 120 off to finish off the build just slap it all in the evga dg 73 case
2:41
that's over half off today so now you got the bits to go inside
2:44
your computer but you still need to see and hear so pick up a pair of sennheiser
2:49
hd 450s for half price then when your
2:52
eyeballs need some massaging and 144 hertz is just the medicine they're
2:57
looking for at just 170 the viewsonic
3:00
xg2402 will up your game without downing your
3:04
bank account too much
3:07
yes my darling oh well that's great news because amazon
3:12
also sells food if you want a larger screen though and you care more about
3:16
being cheap than about image quality you can actually grab a 50 inch 4k tv from
3:21
toshiba for 290 dollars it comes with a
3:25
fire tv built in so you don't have to worry about a garbage smart tv
3:29
experience that like what you get on some budget tvs but Linus i travel all
3:34
the time i can't be building a desktop and hauling it around if only there was
3:38
some way to have a powerful computer packed inside a small case
3:44
fortunately the acer predator helios 300 is making a return to our prime day
3:48
showcase from last year and it's on sale with an i7 16 gigs of RAM and a gtx 1060
3:54
for just 900 and it was already one of
3:58
the best bang for the buck gaming laptops on the market and with 200 bucks
4:02
off well it only gets better than that need some relief from x86 well the
4:07
essential phone can be your ARM oh it can be in your ARM wow awful for
4:12
just 250 with 128 gigs of storage Android oreo
4:16
8.1 and the notch design that you could argue that apple copied this guy
4:21
features all the current trends in a phone design that probably won't get any
4:25
updates in the future because they gave up on it finally if you want a tablet to
4:29
give your kids grab the fire 7 for 40 bucks it might not be the fastest tablet
4:32
around in fact i guarantee it's not but it's 40 bucks and it's pretty durable so
4:38
that's good so best of luck getting things before they sell out or while the servers are
4:43
up but if things don't go your way today then come back later with honey for more
4:48
good deals like every day whenever you shop on amazon honey
4:52
searches every last one of amazon's two million plus sellers to make sure you're
4:56
getting the lowest price possible honey even factors in sales tax shipping and
5:00
amazon prime status simply put if there's a better price honey will find
5:04
it in seconds honey also shows you every item's price history so you can see how
5:09
often an item's price has changed so you know if prime day really is the best day
5:13
