Reviewing CES 2018 with Luke Lafreniere of Linus Tech Tips

Posted on January 18, 2018

Adding a day to our CES 2018 trip meant that we were able to regroup with about half of the NA-based "YouTubers" and technical media outlets, allowing for a lot of discussion on content creation, quality of content, and products shown at the event. One of those meetings was with Luke Lafreniere, formerly of Linus Media Group and presently of Floatplane (under the same roof, technically), who joined us to "review" CES 2018. During this on-camera-only content, we covered major product launches at the show, best and worst products, improvement to the case industry, and lacking product elsewhere. We also venture into the topic of virtual reality gaming and its waning marketing, alongside discussion of blockchain branding attached to nearly every major vendor.

It's a fun, looser video, and allows us to decompress with other media. For our video audience -- and even those who prefer the articles -- we think this one will be enjoyable for all of you, if only for the candid approach to the PC industry in early 2018.

 

Oh, and we also featured Kyle (Bitwit) in the beginning. We weren't really sure what to do with that "short" we shot at the Razer booth.

More content to come, as ever. We're working on some finality with our first modmat shipment right now, alongside plans for website upgrades.
