Saf on SuperSaf TV,
and this is the best of the best part two.
So at the end of each year,
I get together all of my awesome YouTuber friends
to share with us what their favorite piece
of tech for the year has been.
This year we've changed things up slightly,
and we've split this into two videos.
The first video has already gone live,
and you guys may have already seen it.
That was the Best Smartphones of 2017 YouTuber edition,
and we've had an absolutely awesome response from that.
If you haven't seen it already,
that will be linked in the cards,
as well as in the description,
but you don't have to see it right now,
right away, you can see it after this video,
and in this video we're gonna be looking at
the best Tech of 2017,
not including smartphones,
which is gonna make things really, really interesting.
So to kick things off,
personally for me the best piece of tech of 2017,
and it really was not easy to choose,
but overall I would have to say
it's the Dell XPS 15.
So I've traditionally been a desktop PC user,
but I've been traveling a lot more recently,
as a lot of your guys may have seen from my Instagram,
and I mean it's something that was portable,
but also powerful, and I think the Dell XPS 15
is the perfect combination for that.
It's got a very premium build,
and it weighs around two KGs,
which really is not too bad,
considering it what it's packing inside.
GTX 1050, an Intel i7-7700 HQ processor,
a massive 32 gigabytes of RAM,
a 15.6 inch 4K touch screen display with minimal bezels,
and that makes this perfect for editing,
and pretty much all of the videos
that you see on my channel
have been edited on the Dell XPS 15.
That is the reason why it is my pick for 2017.
That's me, let's see what the others have to say.
- Hey, it's iJustine on SuperSaf TV,
and my favorite piece of tech that is not a phone,
I am going with the Nintendo Switch,
For me, mobile gaming has been one
of my most favorite things.
I travel a lot, so I'm not always able to be at a console,
or my PC, so this has pretty much been able
to bring gaming back into my life,
no matter where I am.
Games that I put the most amount of time in one my Switch
is number one, Zelda: Breath of the Wild,
number two, Super Mario Odyssey,
and number three, Stardew Valley,
with a little bit of Mario Kart mixed
into all three of those.
- [Michael] What's up, YouTube,
Mr. Mobile here on SuperSaf TV,
and I bought the DJI Spark drone,
not once, but twice.
I mean, I didn't have much of a choice
after the first one flew away
on its second flight,
never to be seen again,
but the second time around,
I got the Fly More package,
a proper transmitter that gets
a lot more range than just a phone,
and more importantly,
I wasn't flying recklessly, or in a rush.
That's led to much more successful,
safe, and scenic flying,
and it's made the Spark
my favorite non-phone gadget of the year.
Thanks for having me, Saf.

Jon Rettinger from TechnoBuffalo on SuperSaf TV,
and my favorite tech of the year,
it's a little bit of an older piece of tech,
but I use it every single day,
is the Bose QC 35.
You know, the very first ones,
without the button for Siri or Google Assistant?
I love the headphones,
they do an incredible job of noise canceling,
battery life is top notch,
they feel good, they look good,
and they are always in my bag or on my ears,
no matter where I am.
- What's up, YouTube.
This is Mike the DetroitBORG for SuperSaf TV,
and I think my favorite device of the year
is LG's 65 inch E7 OLED TV.
So I'm a big fan of LG's OLED TVs,
and these are some of the best TVs you can buy.
So the E7 is a really stunning piece of design.
So not only is the display fantastic
with that OLED technology,
you get those deep blacks,
and those very vivid colors,
which makes Dolby Vision look fantastic on this TV,
and the back of the TV is made of glass.
So the OLED TV is so thin
that it's actually on top of a sheet of glass,
which has an etched pattern.
So the entire hardware looks extremely premium.
I definitely think the entire experience is worth the price.
So the E7 from LG is my favorite device of the year.

Ash from C4ETech here on SuperSaf TV,
and my favorite non-smartphone piece of tech
this year has gotta be the Nintendo Switch.
One of the things that really annoy me
with Sony and Microsoft's consoles this gen
is the lack of couch multiplayer content.
Now outside of sports titles,
you rarely find them these days,
and this is something the Switch excels at.
The controllers are innovative,
games fun, and being able to carry it to the office
just to sneak some gaming in on a hectic day.
Now as much as I hate Nintendo
for their streaming policies with YouTubers,
I've really grown to love this guy.
This year, it's the Nintendo Switch for me.

Armando here on SuperSaf TV.
Now my favorite piece of tech for 2017,
it's gotta be Apple's AirPods.
Now I use these almost every single day.
Now some of you might say, Armando,
this was actually released in 2016, not 2017.
Yes, that is technically true,
but it was at the very end of 2016,
so I truly believe that this is more of a 2017 product,
but anyway, back to the AirPods,
why I like them so much,
just the simplicity,
the ease of use.
I can remove it from my ear,
and the music stops,
and then when I put it back on, it resumes.
Just the overall technology with these.
I love how long they last,
I love that this is a charger in itself,
and the fact that everybody's now going
without a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack,
I think this is a step in the right direction.
- What's up, YouTube.
Zack from JerryRigEverything here on SuperSaf TV,
and the question is what is my favorite piece of tech,
not smartphone, for 2017?
And this was hard.
I'm not normally into wearables and stuff like that.
I don't wear a watch longer than just a couple days,
and so it was a toss up between
the electric vehicles,
like bikes, and long boards,
and skateboards, and stuff,
or drones, and if I had to pick just one,
it would probably be the DJI Mavic Platinum,
which has a longer flight time,
and quieter rotors than just a regular DJI Mavic.
It's relatively new, just barely came out,
I haven't even opened the box yet,
but it's already my favorite drone.
I'll be doing a couple test flights on my channel,
and until then, thanks for having me on, Saf.
I'll see you around.

It David the Unlocker on SuperSaf TV,
and my favorite gadget of 2017
has to be the Surface Book 2.
With a GTX 1060 in here,
the same slick detachable design with a bigger screen,
the pen, great battery life,
and it's priced competitively
against similarly specced gaming laptops,
it signifies Microsoft's further conviction
to try and give love to creatives
that arguably Apple has moved away from.
Frankly, all that I think makes it
a pretty important device for Microsoft.
- What's up, YouTube.
This is Thunder E here on SuperSaf TV,
and my favorite piece of tech this year,
well I guess you can see the wall behind me,
it's gotta be a pair of headphones,
and it is the Sony WH-1000X Mark 2.
These are probably the best noise canceling headphones
out there on the market.
In terms of tech, design style,
and audio quality, Sony takes the case with this device,
and I absolutely love them,
- Hey, everyone.
I'm Jaime Rivera with Pocketnow here on SuperSaf TV.
Favorite pieces of tech of 2017 is a tie.
It's really a tough one for me.
Number one, definitely my Nintendo Switch.
I have become a gamer thanks to this,
mainly because it allows me the versatility
to travel and enjoy my favorite games.
Number two, definitely my MacBook Pro with Touch Bar.
I never use the Touch Bar,
but every single thing that I do,
all the videos that we publish,
everything goes live thanks
to the versatility of this computer.
I've been a MacBook Pro fan for years already,
it's been I think six or seven,
and I don't think I'm gonna stop.
Definitely Apple does the best job
whenever you want a creative tool,
so anyways, these are my two favorites.
Thank you so much for having me, Saf.
- Hey, what's up, YouTube.
MKBHD here on SuperSaf TV,
and my favorite tech of 2017,
even though it came out in 2016
I just got it this year, and I love it,
is actually this guy.
This is the Hasselblad X1D.
It's a medium format mirrorless camera.
It's the same size as a lot
of the other smaller mirrorless cameras,
and it's incredible.
Now this isn't something you just go out and get on a whim.
This is a really expensive,
high end camera that a lot of seasoned professionals use,
but I've started using it,
and my hobbyist photography ways
have been taken to the next level because of it.
This is the all black 4116 version,
there's a couple lenses for it,
there are three of them right now that I have.
There's a leaf shutter inside the lens itself,
and not in the body,
there's a bunch of weird things about the fit,
and finish, and the form,
and the way the battery works,
and the way everything about this is built,
but overall as a package,
when it comes down to just taking amazing photos,
I love this thing.
- The best overall tech of 2017.
- Best overall tech I have to give to Tesla.
- Good one, good one.
- Their latest announcement,
between the Roadster and the Semi,
it's just like when I think of tech,
I think of Tesla.
- Awesome, thanks man.
- Sorry this was such a pain in the ass, Saf.
I do appreciate you coming all the way
to the United States of America to make this happen.
Give you something to cut to.
- So there we have it,
the Best Tech of 2017 as selected by
some of the best YouTubers around.
