Its a pity that PeakDo isn't available. I've always wanted to be able to wirelessly play on my PC while sitting in front of it on a terrible tiny screen with horrible controllers.
Yeah, it's pretty rough. Even a jailbroken PS Vita streaming games via Moonlight (especially with additional capacitive triggers for R2/L2 and R3/L3) is significantly more impressive than this abomination. That said, I do like what they're attempting to do. The quality and range needs to be improved quite significantly before it would become a worthwhile product, however.
@@radicalraccoon I remember back in the day jailbreaking PSP's and running them through a monitor for my kids to game on, that was micro HDMI to the yellow, white, red plugs as I recall.. I think peakdo is trying to fix something that ain't broke, but I agree with you that it looks interesting and maybe in time we'll get a better product..
The idea is pretty great. It's like a steam deck with pc hardware. You just have to be in the same room as the pc. You can play your pc games laying on your bed! What more do you want?
They have a few other speakers too. There is the Venus (I have on on my desk because I went through a GravaStar phase) which is a tiny little guy that follows in a similar but cuter design...and then there's the Mozart which I hate more than words can describe.
The last product they were probably looking for your feedback before they launched it. Which is awesome. Hopefully they can fix that range and haptic feedback before they roll it out. Looked like a promising product!
Im more curious how they are even allowed to just put joycon rails on their device without getting sued to hell, maybe someone could make a portable pc that just loooks like a switch lol.
What’s honestly the point of streaming games to a mobile device when you can only do it at home, where you can just play them at the real device? Makes absolutely no sense.
I want Dawid to keep doing this. Just a running series of "shit I said yes to..." This is excellent content. It allows him to make fun of stuff and he doesn't seem miserable. Fantastic!
@@DawidDoesTechStuff hey man thanks for the heart. Love your content. But yeah I understand it’s probably difficult to make it monthly when the shipping can vary from 2 weeks to never actually arriving.

@@AnnaDoes These bots would be really easy for youtube to stop before they even got in the door, but youtube does nothing -- it makes me wonder if they're making money off them somehow...
The Switch monitor idea is awesome, yet can't have the need for a battery pack. If it came close to matching the monitor quality of the Switch OLED, I'd buy it. Would most likely be a $500+ dollar product though so maybe not.
Hi Dawid, Just wanted to say I love your videos and please don't stop yourself from being 'not nice' to products in the future! Your commentary on preinstalled VDs is one of my favourite things to look forward to in every video you make.
Just an FYI on the speaker; the mid-range driver is on the front too, behind the tweeter. The one on the back side is not actually a driver, it's a passive radiator; it will simply move back and forth (similar to a low-range speaker or subwoofer) with the frequency the rest of the unit is making, which helps amplify the low-end. It's not powered and has no coil/magnet. Often used on better-quality bluetooth speakers and space-constrained subwoofers.
PayPal suddenly owning Honey explains a lot - like the fact it has saved me enough money to buy a generic packet of mints, in all the years I have had it installed, and the thousands I have spent.
Really depends on what you use it for. I use it to order pizza online a lot and probably a good 70% of the time it’s able to get me decent discounts. Shopping for random stuff online, not as much, but sometimes on certain websites. I think it helps to use brand’s sites instead of shopping sites like Amazon because they’re more likely to be running exclusive deals with email codes and stuff.
I always felt like honey was just a front end for data collection to see what products you buy and test what ads are effective on you. Idk, seems really sketchy.
@@ianemery2925 Thats great practice. Every website and service nowadays wants to know everything about you so they can profit off of your very existence. real scary world we live in
@@lenshibo It can be an eye opener, I have found Farcebook trackers injected INSIDE supposedly secure payment pages for banks, government sites, AND food delivery services. My bank removed it after I notified them, but Dominos didnt, so I no longer use Dominos (UK) online ordering service. This does mean that they may have eventually removed it, but in their case it was particularly bad - the payment process WOULD FAIL, if the farcebook tracking script was blocked; and I did give them a year to act.
Ok I love the look of that speaker and if it was closer to $100 or preferably less I would totally buy 2 to use as desk speakers. Which I really feel these are more for a desktop than for casually bringing around like you would with a bluetooth speaker. Heck that should just make a basic $150 2 pack that are wired only because the style is nice and bluetooth gets overraited.
Honestly the PeakDo handheld is intriguing, depending on the price and if they could boost the range a bit... If it were priced reasonably, I wouldn't mind picking one up to play Skyrim or something while laying in bed (my PC is on the other side of my bedroom). Wonder if it has the ability to send audio input back to the PC, so you could plug in a headset and talk on Discord for example.
oh definetly. it already has a usb connection for the input, sending some audio along shouldnt be a problem for a company that specializes in high bandwith low latency wireless signalling.
3:02 If you see a weird thing that's kinda speaker-ish somewhere other than the front, it's probably a passive radiator. It mirrors the powered speaker motions by the magic of air pressure in a sealed enclosure.
The PeakDo thing reminds me of a prototype laptop that passed through work; I was responsible for selling it on e-bay and it was one hell of a thing to even describe, I think there was one English word on the casing somewhere (It was "Aladdin" or something similarly evocative and useless as a search string), several numbers corresponding to nothing, and a few labels in an Oriental language I do not read, but they were clearly just inspection tags. I eventually ended up using information from the BIOS, as it did actually _work_ and thus I was able to confirm it was a prototype thanks to the giant "NOT FOR PRODUCTION" warning in the said BIOS. It was in every way otherwise an unremarkable device quite like its contemporaries in form and capacities, so I know nothing further.
I'd actually use those Pomodoro timers!! Setting the 25m/5m timer patter, on a device which doesn't provide any other distractions, would mean I could just leave my phone and everything else in a different room.
17:33 I think I know what's happening here: They seem to be a company that sell wireless transmitters and I believe they just put together that product as a disguise for you to review the wireless hdmi transmitter for them! Lol
I enjoy these kinds of video's because they are different and we get to see items we've never heard of before. The chance that they will work or not is fun.
I know these take a bunch of times consisting of many shots but certainly you have among the best box opening passive aggressiveness in the tech space. I mean Austin Evans still doesn't quite hit the same levels of sass and tact and he does it all the time . Fun times Dawid
The peakdo is a prototype device. A bunch of other China based companies have sent their version out to tech companies. Those other versions come with Windows or Linux depending on your preference.
I love this series. Its fun to see random stuff and hear you trash talk it. Or see you get excited for something to find out it's a burning pile of trash lol
the bluetooth speaker looks cool if your into that style...i can also see the timers being useful and are way better than the old school dial type timer that just made a ''ding'' sound when time was up
They actually have some better dial timers out there! Mine's a deathstar and makes the sound of it firing when time is up. But I can see the tick timer being useful in certain cases. Definitely seems better for cooking where you often need more precise timing Though, for daily use that's less reliant on 100% precision, like the pomodoro technique, it seems easier to just use a dial timer since it doesn't require frequent charging
I actually kinda like that Orion screen thing for the Switch. I already have aftermarket joycons like the ones on the Peak-Do (they're great btw), so having a big handheld isn't foreign to me. Basically it can be like a Switch tablet.
The three "legs" thing is helping this speaker to sound better. Every high-quality audio benefits from the pointy standing support. Also, every 4-legged table always uses only 3. Physics and construction.
GravaStar is one of the unique Bluetooth speaker with sci-fi mini droid looking enclosure. Their speaker is very excellent, but their asking price is astronomical. But with all that said, it looks amazing and an eye catcher.
I think I can resume this as "Good ideas with poor execution". Which is a shame. Excellent video as usual. PS: A little disappointed you didn't try anything crazy with them...
6:35 That feeling when Google gaslights you and makes you question your own sanity. Does the thing physically in front of me exist, or does it not exist!?
I've always found it interesting how much time and effort people invest in their "time management" and productivity strategies. Just imagine how much better they would be if half the day wasn't dedicated to setting up their time management.
Honestly, the PeakDo sounds like it would be nice for when I am too lazy to use my mouse and keyboard.... but that's also why I got a wireless mouse and want to get something like a Corsair Lapdog.
pomodoro timers sound cool - apparently for people with ADHD setting a timer for a task helps regulate time and keep them/us from losing several hours at a time AND gives us that sense of "last minute urgency" that someone of us thrive on. I may have to pick one of these up!
Assuming Peak Do sent you their low end HDMI thingy, it's only got a range of about 12ft They do seem to have a 100ft model though. It's a shame the whole kit doesn't exist I could use something like that (although it's probably more expensive than a steam deck
Some information on the Orion, as I am one of the backers: It has 1080p resolution but a rather cheap display. It even burnt in after using it for some time... The original marketing said that there is no need for external power to run this display with your Switch. As you've seen that was also a false statement. It needs a Powerbank or a charger for running. All in all, the idea wasn't that bad, but the realization is the straw that broke the camels back.
That Peak-Do Switch thingy is a really cool idea, not very practical, but a cool idea none the less. The main problem is that I already have a Switch and a Steam Deck, so I don't know that I would ever use something like this. I don't need to stream what is already portable and the streaming range isn't long enough to be worth it. A stand alone laptop shell would work better. I have seen laptop shells that connect via usb and have a keyboard and track pad. Put a bluetooth/usb dongle keyboard and track pad combo with a wireless HDMI screen in one package and it would be a dream come true for certain tech jobs where you have to connect to many computers. You could take your whole set up wherever you needed to be and connect without getting involved in the mess of cables, do what you need to do, than unplug your usb and HDMI dongles and go to the next one.
My favorite part of David's commentary is how he insults electronics. It is so unusual not to hear how terrible things are.

PeakDO was easy to find. They have a range of products, but this device appears to be a prototype, which Dawid just tested "in the field" for them.
That's actually the coolest Bluetooth speaker I've seen in quite some time.
They have a few other speakers too. There is the Venus (I have on on my desk because I went through a GravaStar phase) which is a tiny little guy that follows in a similar but cuter design...and then there's the Mozart which I hate more than words can describe.
and if it sounds better then the UE Boom that's pretty good priase.
I agree! They look great.
Look great but 230 quid ? Frack offff !
Yep, I like it as well, but the asking price is way too much for the budget - minded (myself included).
Anna nailed those picks. Impressive to get not a prelaunch product, but a prelaunch nonexistant product.
