Around every corner, it feels like people are trying to scam you out of your money. But no one tries harder than audio companies. No I’m not talking about, Apple, Sony, Sennheiser or Samsung. I’m not even talking about hi-fi audio companies like Marantz, Bang and Olafson or Adam Audio. I’m talking about the shady companies that exist in the world of audiophile tweaks. The companies that use science-y sounding words to rip you off. So we got our audio aficionado friend Dankpods to come over and join us while we take a look at some of the craziest BS we’ve ever seen on this channel.

If you’ve ever thought about building your own laptop, luggable, or briefcase PC, you probably came to the conclusion pretty quickly that building a portable chassis from scratch is just not something an average person should have to do. But now, thanks to Alibaba’s constant stream of weird oddity computer parts, we can fit a full gaming PC, complete with a desktop GPU, 600W power supply, and ITX motherboard, in a case that’s only slightly larger than a laptop that’s too big to be useful, and only slightly heavier than what would cause an average person to slip a disc.
