# I Bought Amazon's 'Number One' Tech...

## Summary

This video features a humorous experiment where the creator buys Amazon's top search result for various tech categories, testing items like a gaming console, smart glasses, a refurbished phone, and a cheap laptop. The goal is to see if Amazon's algorithm leads to quality purchases or just a pile of junk.

### Key Points

- **Experiment Setup** [00:00] — The creator plans to buy the first search result on Amazon for several tech categories, trusting Jeff Bezos's algorithm.
- **Sponsor: Dreame Bladeless Fan** [02:14] — Dreame's MF10 fan is bladeless, circulates air 270 degrees, doubles as an air purifier with a washable filter, and is quieter than traditional fans.
- **PlayStation Game Console Knockoff** [04:09] — A $75 emulator console with two controllers, feels cheap but similar to a PS, likely full of illicit ROMs.
- **AI Pin Device** [06:30] — A credit-card-sized AI device with a $240/year subscription and 300-minute starter plan. The creators find it mostly useless for actual tasks.
- **Dell OptiPlex Desktop PC** [08:49] — An old Dell OptiPlex from 2012 with a 3rd Gen Core i5, 2TB slow hard drive, but supposedly supports Windows 11. Cost $297, considered overpriced for its age.
- **Amazon Renewed Galaxy S22** [12:56] — A refurbished Galaxy S22 in good condition with some scuffs. Price not explicitly stated but compared to other options; the creators seem satisfied.
- **Smart Glasses (No Brand)** [14:23] — Cheap smart glasses with a magnetic charger, camera, and AI image recognition. Setup is easy, but photo quality is poor compared to Meta Ray-Bans.
- **Mini Archery Bow (Bowmatic 9000)** [16:27] — A $12 mini bow that shoots sharp tips. The creators test it and find it can pierce through a target.
- **KAIGERR Laptop** [17:26] — A $400 15.6-inch laptop with a plastic feel, stiff hinge, decent keyboard, and likely a non-activated Windows license. Considered not worth the price compared to budget options.

### Conclusion

The experiment reveals that Amazon's top search results for tech are often low-quality or overpriced, with notable exceptions like the refurbished Galaxy S22. The video humorously highlights the importance of researching purchases rather than blindly trusting Amazon's algorithm.

## Transcript

I'm gonna be buying stuff from Amazon as the top search result. Does Jeffy B really have my back?
- [Adriana] The "Z" in Bezos stands for "zaddy." - Alex, good sir, give me the first search result - [Alex] Let's see, what is the current
This is the best seller. (Alex laughs) At least it's not like a PS5 Pro. (laughs) - [Alex] Oh God.
- All right, so the first thing is the Plaud Note Pro. You take photos with it, and then uses AI to help summarize.
but I have seen a lot of people talk about it. - Smart glasses? Look at the terrible Photoshop of this guy.
Maybe AI generate better photos, ya dinguses. - Simple laptop? (screams) It's an HP Stream, no!
when they search for PC? - (laughs) Dell OptiPlex with a 3rd Gen Core i5. Great laptop.
"Best laptop that isn't too expensive." that protect the rights of workers.
Let's do "renewed phone." Now, we've looked at Amazon Renewed in the past. So that, my friends, I think we have everything we need
and instead just trusting whatever Amazon feeds you and see exactly what Jeffy B and the boys Jeffy B and the Boys does sound like a kind of band
♪ We're super rich ♪ Huge thanks to Dreame for being a fan of the channel their Bladeless Fan MF10.
that's built around human needs, not just gimmicks. is that this fan doesn't have any traditional blades. from getting his fingers jammed in any blades.
has 270 degrees of spatial airflow What's the best way to circulate air? that can blow in different directions.
relying on positioning and power to fully circulate air, The MF10, on the other hand, can circulate air that's a lot more powerful than a traditional fan
with fast and even circulation. it does the exact same thing for your home heating. but we need massive cooling.
and the MF10 is also an air purifier. in just four minutes to refresh stagnant air. The filter is washable, so no long-term running costs.
and with summer on the way, anything that keeps you If this sounds great, check out the description for being our biggest fan.
However, why don't we take a closer look Tell ya, lot of bull (quack). We got ourselves the hot new PlayStation
high sensitivity and anti-skid design. - [Alex] What do you mean anti-skid? Well, we do have the Dual Sense.
a little far away, it looks like a DualSense, it's got some Mad Catz vibes, I will say. And here is our 4K Game Stick Pro,
if you squint. - [Alex] The listing that we bought it from - Well, we're off to a good start, aren't we?
- We've got two controllers. Unfortunately, this is my PlayStation experience. exact percentage for like 5, 10 minutes.
kind of feel similar to a PS. - Compared to a lot of very cheap little emulators this one feels like it's at least 75.
- Is this is Las Vegas? - Ah, checkmate, it was a chess. - Alex, how much did we spend on our game console?
Oh, that's a little bit much, actually. full of illicit ROMs. I'll just say that I know a guy
- The guy. - Mr. Temu? - We can all agree that the future is robots, right? we gotta solve the more important issue,
And I've heard that there is a newfangled technology - Hey, Siri, how do I get more thumbs up on Tinder?
- I found no intelligence, but I did find this, It's like basically credit card size. Wait, I already purchased a plan with your device.
$240 a year! It comes with a 300-minute starter plan.
Wait, so you tap and hold it and it would just listen All right, I believe that we are recording. to the seventh annual Overclock board meeting.
I'd like to start out with exhibit A: the biggest problem. We're going to liquidate Denki and This Is. which will last roughly half a flight.
- [Ken] Burn it all down. we're not recording this, right? any suggestions on how to improve profitability?
- "Recording highlights. 'cause he keeps buying Stingers on the company card." So shall we try to do a phone call?
so you can hear me fine, everything's normal. - [Ken] So Pizza Hut, how can I help you? some corporate governance fraud, please.
"The vibe: this is a playful - It's real corporate espionage. - I understand you gotta pay
But first of all, there are a lot of ways There are things that are kind of neat about it, It does not feel like this is very useful
for all the AI transcriptions. Am I taking crazy pills here? a chart on how you're being an evil corporate capitalist,
So this one, (grunts) what was the search term for this particular item? I love something simple.
And what came back was a Dell OptiPlex I'm gonna put on my, and fair reviewer face for a second,
This is the most like out-of-a-doctor's-office, or should I just plug it in and find out what it is?
45 minutes since we first turned this computer on, It didn't have any big Windows updates. However, I'm pretty sure that the spec they told us
there's a little date code on here. This was built May 23rd, 2012, which is- - It's about the same age as some of our viewers.
- [Alex] My God, it's Sunday. I do have another item. - It is a laser measure.
Can I just laser things? Time, it is 52 minutes. which I'll tell you, this is like three
that is supposed to be supported by Windows 11. and it is a two-terabyte WD world's slowest hard drive.
- No, no. - Things are, so- - Yeah, you hit the button once, What, does it say I'm seven feet tall?
Here's the thing, this is great. - [Alex] 'Cause it's lying for you? I think this is a pile of hot garbage.
but hopefully this was incredibly cheap. (bright music) how much did we pay for this PC
- [Alex] We paid $297. - Ahhh! (Alex laughing) from places like Amazon.
for all this extra junk, but you almost certainly wanna load It'll actually somewhat be usable on this level of hardware.
All right, so now that we've got all the bad items - [Alex] I got news for you, buddy. (laughs) I will say, when we tried to look for gizmos on Amazon,
- [Alex] We searched for fancy gizmos, and I guess- - But the problem is this is gonna take one to two weeks. is not your strong suit.
Why does he look so (quack) up? - [Austin] Why is it all over his face? What the hell?
Well, yeah, this is like a Martha Stewart thing and I reach underneath and I pull out a whole turkey. Does it look cool?
(upbeat music) then you're all ready to go.
for pets, animals, or objects of any kind. - How about we get to some actual tech, shall we? So this is our Galaxy S22.
Do you know what grade this phone is supposed to be? - So we've got ourselves a fresh screen protector. and that looks really clean.
But assuming that this is in as good a shape as it seems, The S22 is actually still pretty similar to the S26.
Please censor anything that might be nefarious. It also has a whole, whole bunch of scuffs that this has been a well-used phone.
- Okay, I think the hardware is good. How much did we pay for our Amazon Renewed Galaxy S22? - That's all right.
that you are on a ticking time clock How much more would I have to spend if I was sticking inside Amazon Renewed?
- I think I might pay that. would make me want to pay an extra, what, $70. All right, next up, we've got ourselves our smart glasses.
- [Alex] It was just smart glasses. (laughs) All right, so we've got ourselves a cleaning cloth So it has a little magnetic charger.
One of the things I really like about these So you just drop 'em in a normal-sized case. every day is actually annoying.
The Meta Ray-Bans have, like this is all speaker right here, It's really small. The setup process is actually relatively straightforward,
They feel very tall. - The glare is crazy. So the front button will do camera and video, and then double click for AI quick image recognition.
I see an indoor studio or video production setup. - [Adriana] Ew. Like, yeah, dang.
The sound is not terrible. It seems like they've got very small little speakers inside. and we'll see how these things stack up to the actual Metas?
take a photo with the Metas in the exact same spot. It's really just that these glasses are way too zoomed in.
Can you give me an idea how much I paid for these? - Okay, so if you don't care about privacy, because I feel like it's still quite suspect
to trust something like this, but it ain't that bad, man. Look at all these glum faces. Alex, what the hell did I search again?
- A mini archery bow. Oh, oh, you can hurt yourself with this. Now, is it sharp everywhere?
- [Adriana] Practice run here. so let's just try the tip by itself. So just a little, oh, that was pretty sharp.
Oh, it went all the way through, right? How much did we pay for our Bowmatic 9000? - Yeah, I guess it's fine for 12 bucks.
Those are the eyes, and that's the mouth right there. - And he always walks around like... from good old Amazon, a classic would be a laptop.
It was cheap laptop, good laptop? what you searched for. We've got ourselves a KAIGERR.
(quack) if I know. So we have ourselves the gigantic laptop. So first glance, it looks okay, but very plasticky feeling.
Just open it up and see, that hinge is really stiff. - [Adriana] Chunker, I hardly know her. It looks like it's probably like 1080p,
that the viewing angles are downright reasonable. You see that? I find that a lot of specifically Chinese devices
they probably didn't pay for that Windows 11 Pro key. but it's a little bit unusual. but I was up to speed almost immediately typing on that.
- 2016 really. Console laptops, and yes, even a gaming PC. It sounds like a bad phone speaker.
you should probably not buy this laptop. The spec is actually reasonable. but for the price, it's probably not crazy.
Alex, how much did I actually pay for this KAIGERR laptop 9000? The problem is that at $400,
at a selection of laptops that are below $500, at that 4 to $500 price point. or the ability to stretch your budget to $600,
and it doesn't even like it. there's not a lot of positive stuff here. were just simply not really
of Amazon having way too many items and ring-a-ling that ding-a-ling button. by that A-to-Z store a little bit too often,
and most of them weren't on amazon.com, unfortunately. (light music)
