Hello and welcome to the show!
My name is Alex and this is TechFlow!
It's been a long time since we've done a TechFlow Top 5 - you guys have been asking for it in
the comments section down below.
I'm happy to say that this week, this is TechFlow Top 5.
Let's get straight to it!
In no particular order, coming in at number 5 we have the ZuziLite lamp.
So, the ZuziLite is available to buy on KickStarter - I'll provide a link in the description.
It's pretty much a battery powered, portable lamp which you can control with your iOS or
android device.
Included with the lamp is a really nice, little USB powered dock which you can dock the lamp
in and on the dock it has a red or green LED which glows through the bottom of the dock
to indicate whether the Zuzi is charged or not.
On the app, you can obviously do different things like change the colour of the lamp
or change the intensity and there's even presets like candles and different things like that
but Zuzi has taken it a step further; you can actually play games and it'll change
the colour of the light.
For those of you that are interested in adding a little bit of spice to your personal space,
even if it's just your computer set up or anything you want to add a little bit of multi-colour to,
it's a great way to go - link's in the description.
Talking about USB powered things, coming in at number 4 we have the EasyAcc 20,000 mAh rugged powerbank.
Keyword being rugged...
So, as you can see, this powerbank doesn't look that elegant but it has its reasons behind
it - as you can see, there's actually a flap which covers two USB ports.
Now, the reason that this flap is there is because it has a few little, nifty tricks
up its sleeve.
This bad boy is weather-proof, dust-proof, shock-proof and it can be submerged in less
than 1 metre of water for about 30 minutes.
With it's IP67 rating and rugged design, if you're going outside on a field trip this
can pretty much take anything that you can throw at it.
Obviously, it's got a flap over the front of it, so you're not going to get any mud in there,
no dirt, no water - fairly cool.
And if you're going hiking this is the one to take.
Or biking - you can go biking with it.
If you drop it, it'll be fine!
It also has a rather nifty LED lamp on the front which is fairly bright.
And it can also flash if you want it to.
Coming in at number 3, we have the iQunix Edin MacBook stand.
And straight off the bat, it's absolutely gorgeous with it's full aluminium build (and
I mean full aluminium - even the little screw at the back that you use to adjust the stand
to fit your mac, whether it be a 1315 or 2012 model, it's all made out of aluminium).
Absolutely gorgeous build quality!
Now, I've got a slick wrap skin on my Mac - however, the aluminium looks exactly the
same as it would on a bare MacBook or MacBook pro.
Now, there's really not much more to say about this but if you're in the market for a laptop
or MacBook stand, I can tell you that this is the one to get.
Coming in at number 2, we have the raved about, and I absolutely love it, and I've got reasons
for it being in this video, the LogiCircle.
So, recently, I had a call with LogiTech and I said: "Why do you think your security camera,
the LogiCircle, is one of the most secure security cameras on the market?"
And they said something along the lines of this: Usually with an IP or internet connected
camera, you have to connect it to your home broadband and you have to open up ports in
your router which makes the camera really accessible.
And you actually don't have to do this with the LogiCircle - you connect it to your WiFi
and then the camera actually securely connects to Logitech's servers.
So the camera itself isn't acting as a vulnerable server for attackers to go and attack and
look at all your live feeds or the data on there - they would have to get into Logitech's
servers and I've been told that Logitech's servers are quite hard to get into.
They explained it better than that to me but I thought it was cool.
I use my LogiCircle every single day.
I actually own three of them at the moment and they're awesome!
If you want a security camera - LogiCircle; the most secure one you can probably buy according
to Logitech.
Now last, but not least, coming in at number 1, we've got the most expensive item, and
by far the best item on the list, this is the LG 38 inch Ultrawide WQHD 21 x 9 monitor.
It's a beast.
Yes, you heard me right; this is a 38 inch 21 x 9 curved WQHD plus IPS display monitor
with over 99% SRGB coverage - it's absolutely phenomenal, even just to look at it without
it on.
Then you fire the thing up - wow!
It boasts 1 millisecond blur reduction technology but it actually has a 13 milliseconds response
time which makes it OK for gaming but it's just really immersive.
It features a USB type C port on the back and a USB 3.0 quick charge port.
This means that if you've got, let's say, a MacBook or a small laptop that has a USB
C port, you can actually charge your laptop, pass over sound and 4K images to the monitor
and use the monitor's inbuilt USB hub through one USB C cable.
One cable connects to your laptop, charges it, acts as a hub and passes over 4K video
and audio.
Fairly insane!
It also has certain features like LG's split screen; as I say, I've never really used these
before; I do have a fall blown review of this monitor on this channel so if you want to
check it out, head over to the channel and I'll also try and provide a link in the description
as to where you can buy this monitor and also the full review I did on it but this is by
far the best bit of tech that I have touched all week.
