00:00:00.065 --> 00:00:02.685
- 2023 offered up another
exciting year in the world

2
00:00:02.685 --> 00:00:05.405
of consumer electronics,
delivering meaningful upgrades

3
00:00:05.405 --> 00:00:08.425
to some of our already
favorite gear of last year,

4
00:00:08.425 --> 00:00:10.545
and some pleasant surprises.

5
00:00:10.545 --> 00:00:13.815
It was a good year for
gizmo's, doodads, and gadgets.

6
00:00:13.815 --> 00:00:15.605
We've highlighted the top five products

7
00:00:15.605 --> 00:00:16.805
that really stood out the most.

8
00:00:18.565 --> 00:00:20.705
Honestly, I'm just as surprised as you are

9
00:00:20.705 --> 00:00:22.425
to see a MacBook on the list,

10
00:00:22.425 --> 00:00:24.715
but the 16 inch Apple MacBook Pro

11
00:00:24.715 --> 00:00:28.185
with M three Max Tripp
is a heck of a laptop.

12
00:00:28.185 --> 00:00:31.205
The M three Max Tripp has
no problem handling the most

13
00:00:31.205 --> 00:00:34.925
difficult rendering tasks,
and yes, gaming, believe it

14
00:00:34.925 --> 00:00:37.445
or not, we got some pretty decent gaming

15
00:00:37.445 --> 00:00:39.225
performance on this thing as well.

16
00:00:39.225 --> 00:00:42.315
If only the Apple Store had
more AAA titles to play with,

17
00:00:42.315 --> 00:00:43.945
then we would be in business.

18
00:00:43.945 --> 00:00:46.365
But hey, the space black
colorway looks awesome.

19
00:00:48.265 --> 00:00:50.565
One of the other big surprises
this year was the release

20
00:00:50.565 --> 00:00:51.855
of the Steam deck oled,

21
00:00:51.855 --> 00:00:53.925
which valve calls the definitive first

22
00:00:53.925 --> 00:00:55.385
generation steam deck.

23
00:00:55.385 --> 00:00:58.365
The stunning OLA display makes returning

24
00:00:58.365 --> 00:01:01.755
to the OG steam decks,
LCD, nearly impossible.

25
00:01:01.755 --> 00:01:04.165
Once you see the difference,
almost everything

26
00:01:04.165 --> 00:01:06.885
that annoyed you about the steam
deck has been improved from

27
00:01:06.885 --> 00:01:08.845
a larger display to better thermals

28
00:01:08.845 --> 00:01:12.165
to even a bigger battery
that'll last roughly 30% longer

29
00:01:12.165 --> 00:01:14.725
than the original, all
while being lighter.

30
00:01:16.005 --> 00:01:17.925
I didn't think that one of the products

31
00:01:17.925 --> 00:01:19.405
that we would be the most obsessed

32
00:01:19.405 --> 00:01:21.375
with here in the Gizmoto office

33
00:01:21.375 --> 00:01:23.425
would be a digital tape recorder,

34
00:01:23.425 --> 00:01:25.285
but wait till you see
this thing in action.

35
00:01:26.195 --> 00:01:28.885
Teenage engineering's, TP seven is one

36
00:01:28.885 --> 00:01:30.585
of the coolest gadgets I've ever seen.

37
00:01:30.585 --> 00:01:33.235
It looks like a time
traveled from the future.

38
00:01:33.235 --> 00:01:35.355
This $1,500 recorder.

39
00:01:35.355 --> 00:01:38.565
Yeah, $1,500 is one of the most well-built

40
00:01:38.565 --> 00:01:40.675
and well-designed gadgets around.

41
00:01:40.675 --> 00:01:42.555
It's a mix of old and new.

42
00:01:42.555 --> 00:01:46.105
It's got a cool clicking rotating
wheel and rocker paddles.

43
00:01:46.105 --> 00:01:48.005
Oh, and it's actually
pretty good recorder,

44
00:01:48.005 --> 00:01:49.325
which I guess is important

45
00:01:50.435 --> 00:01:53.345
despite some surprisingly
low sales numbers.

46
00:01:53.345 --> 00:01:56.105
The Met Quest three is
the best VR headset.

47
00:01:56.105 --> 00:01:58.915
Normal folks like you and
me can actually afford.

48
00:01:58.915 --> 00:02:01.645
More importantly, it's
completely wireless features

49
00:02:01.645 --> 00:02:03.065
inside out hand tracking,

50
00:02:03.065 --> 00:02:04.165
and there's also no need

51
00:02:04.165 --> 00:02:06.385
to set up base stations around the room.

52
00:02:06.385 --> 00:02:08.465
The Quest three even
makes a compelling case

53
00:02:08.465 --> 00:02:10.755
for showcasing mixed reality content

54
00:02:10.755 --> 00:02:12.905
that turns your living room into a gym

55
00:02:12.905 --> 00:02:15.395
or a place to fight demons.

56
00:02:15.395 --> 00:02:19.145
Obviously, we can't make a
best of list without a phone,

57
00:02:19.145 --> 00:02:22.745
and this year the Apple
iPhone 15 really impressed us

58
00:02:22.745 --> 00:02:25.965
and proved to be the phone
worth upgrading to in 2023.

59
00:02:26.975 --> 00:02:30.505
While not as powerful
as the iPhone 15 Pro,

60
00:02:30.505 --> 00:02:32.705
it does give you the
most bang for your buck.

61
00:02:32.705 --> 00:02:35.225
It comes in two sizes, five fun colors,

62
00:02:35.225 --> 00:02:36.945
and has a really great camera.

63
00:02:36.945 --> 00:02:39.825
Oh, more importantly, it uses USBC,

64
00:02:39.825 --> 00:02:41.725
so goodbye lightning cable.

65
00:02:41.725 --> 00:02:43.905
I never wanna see you again this year.

66
00:02:43.905 --> 00:02:45.705
Had a ton of awesome tech,

67
00:02:45.705 --> 00:02:47.265
and I wish I had more time in this video

68
00:02:47.265 --> 00:02:49.305
to show you everything, but don't worry.

69
00:02:49.305 --> 00:02:51.725
We have a more comprehensive
list of the best gadgets

70
00:02:51.725 --> 00:02:53.965
of 20 twenty3@gizmoto.com,

71
00:02:53.965 --> 00:02:56.015
which you can check out
because it's a website.

72
00:02:56.015 --> 00:02:57.485
Until then, we'll see you next year.
