The Best Tech Under $50 - June 2016 #Helpful Post

hey guys johnathan here and june is

coming to an end so that means we are

due for a fresh episode of the best tech

under 50 so let's go now admittedly with

each new episode finding tech that's

unique and that stands out becomes that

much harder which is why I get excited

when I find a gem like this so this is a

Lexar jump drive see 20i what's cool is

that it serves multiple functions

firstly at its core it's a tiny portable

lightning cable that you can use to

charge your iPhone or iPad but inside

the USB end is a super stealthy flash

drive it's USB 3 so you're not gonna

have to worry about speed and you can

use it to either expand the stored on

your iPhone or your iPad or go

old-school and simply transfer files

back and forth between your computer

specifically this is the 32 gigabyte

option which is the best value under 50

bucks but if you don't mind up it

outside that price point it also comes

in 64 and 128 gigabyte variants

next up is something I've been meaning

to check out for a while but I'm now

just finally getting around to do so

this of course is Amazon's $49 fire

tablet now to be honest Amazon's

marketing with this is a little on the

hilarious side it's a bit of a stretch

to call this a beautiful display it's

not breathtaking

but it does look really good for the

price and the seven-inch display is

perfect for watching movies and video I

do like the fact that it comes in

multiple colors that's being black but

on top of that it also comes in blue

magenta and not orange but tangerine

amazon also claims you can use this to

capture life's moments but a reality

don't expect anything great at a camera

what you have to do is accept this for

what it is and what it's good for and

well I'm not a huge fan of fire OS it's

really simple and easy to navigate and

again for the price it's a fantastic way

to watch video read books or even do

some light gaming so next up is one of

those huh that's a really useful piece

of tech kind of things what this is is a

wireless Bluetooth media button from

satochi and before I show you how it

works if you're someone who normally

doesn't pay attention to instructions

watch this before you buy it because

instinctively when pairing a Bluetooth

device for me anyways I want to hold it

until it's ready to pair but in reality

you got to flip it over to the back and

if you look closely there's a super tiny

pairing button that you're most likely

going to need something like a sim tool

or a pen to engage once you set up

though this works as advertised to

quickly demonstrate it you're able to

control volume whether it's up or down

and then also go back or skip forward to

different tracks where this makes most

senses in your car potentially where you

don't have media controls built in but

the idea is it's going to give you

quicker safer access without having to

reach for your phone this also comes in

a home button variant which is perfect

to engage Siri or a camera shutter

option which you can use to capture

photos wirelessly next up in the spirit

of summer I thought it'd be useful to

showcase something you could use

outdoors whether it's the beach or the

park this is a twelve thousand milliamp

hour external battery from alkie that

can charge through solar power on top of

that it's super rugged and what I

especially like is that all the USB

ports are enclosed so you're not gonna

have to worry about getting as close to

water and potentially damaging it

there's a flashlight too in case you get

lost in the dark and all that combined

makes us a must-have piece of tech for

the summer last up is hands down one of

the weirdest looking mice I've ever seen

in my life and what might have tripped

me out more is when I ordered this I had

absolutely no context of size so when I

got it in and saw it in person I was

kind of blown away with how small it was

this is Microsoft's wedge touch mouse

which turned out to be surprisingly

useful and while I don't think I would

use this in a day to day situation it

actually makes for a really great travel

option like I mentioned it's super

compact so it's not going to take up a

ton of space in your bag but what I

liked most with this is the four-way

touch scrolling on top of that what's

really unique with this mouse is that

it's designed to use with either hand

most mice out there seem to be geared

towards the right-handed people so the

fact this show some love to the lefties

is awesome aside from that hopefully you

guys enjoyed the video if you did and

you are feeling like being awesome make

sure to go come somme nidaa on that like

button before I hop out of here when I
