Top 5 Tech Under $500! (2014) #Helpful Post

hey guys john here with TLD hope you

guys are doing well hopefully you're

enjoying the streak 12 days of top fives

we are back and we're looking at tech

under 500 bucks now my top 5 tech under

300 bucks which we did miss we link down

below a few of you asked why did you not

include the oneplus one and to be honest

that is a penny in at 300 bucks you add

chipping and boom you're right over that

number plus for only 50 bucks more you

can jump up from 16 up to 64 gigabytes

and since you cannot expand the external

storage that would make most sense but

regardless the oneplus one changed where

we looked at high-end smartphones so

this guy features a Snapdragon 801

quad-core CPU 3 gigs of superfast ddr3

RAM a stellar 13 megapixel camera and a

beefy and I mean beefy 3100 milliamp

hour battery which will easily get you

through the day and then some now this

of course is powered by cyanogen so

you're getting a pure Google s

experience with tons of customization

options now the only downside with this

is trying to actually get your hands on

what it looks like right now you can

actually pick one up without an invite

we'll have details on that link down

below so next up is the GoPro Hero 4

Black Edition and this is possibly the

most badass action cam on the market it

has everything we've come to love and

expect from a GoPro wide-angle

awesomeness waterproof video

but now it also features 4k 30p video

recording

you also get 120 FPS 1080p video for

that slow motion game this is a penny

under 500 bucks but right now Amazon is

running a holiday bundle which comes

with the hero4 black a 32 gigabyte micro

SD card a headstrap mount and a $50

Amazon gift card

now alternatively if you do not need 4k

video recording it's nice but it's not

necessary you can also look at the gopro

hero4 silver which is 100 bucks less and

it actually comes with a built-in touch

display so coming in at number three is

the Sonos play 5 and to put it simply

the play 5 is one of the best wireless

speakers options on the planet it's

different than a Bluetooth speaker in

the sense that it's meant to be a home

solution so it connects to your home

Wi-Fi and can stream music through apps

like Spotify Pandora or actually even

physical libraries like your iTunes

collection with the play five you get

Class D amplifiers and a total of five

speakers hence the name and fourth size

this managed emma packs some serious

punch it has a super rich balanced sound

and is plenty loud to fill your room now

if you're watching this video before

December 27th you're luck because Amazon

is actually one of the promo where that

will kick you back 40 bucks just for

picking this up the details are linked

down below now moving on to number 4 on

the list this is from HTC it's Google's

latest tablet offering it is the Nexus 9

now this guy packs an 8.9 inch 2048 by

1536 display and most importantly it is

running Android 5.0 lollipop which is a

downright beautiful and buttery smooth

experience what separates this from the

pack is since it's made by HTC it

features front-facing stereo speakers

and if you've experienced boom sound on

an HTC One I think we can all agree we

need to boom sound all the things and

that's right now it is $50 off on Amazon

so you can grab either model at either

capacity for well under 500 bucks with

room to spare for accessories now some

of you may be asking Jonathan why did

you not include the iPad air 2 will

relax because that is pretty much

penny under 500 bucks and if you move up

it can actually go up to a thousand

bucks but if Android is not your thing

you can actually check out the original

iPad air which is still a very capable

tablet you can actually pick up the 16

gig model for 399 or the 32 gigabyte

model for 449 so last up on today's top

5 tech under 500 bucks is actually a tie

and I'm going with either a ps4 bundle

or an Xbox one bundle and I'm doing this

because it doesn't need to be a fanboy

war pick what suits you the best

and go with it so right now the best

deal for an Xbox one is the Assassin's

Creed unity bundle which is on sale for

the holidays for 349 now the best ps4

deal is Amazon's

two free game bundle where you get the

ps4 the Last of Us remastered and either

destiny NBA 2k15 far cry 4 or

LittleBigPlanet 3 your choice so with

that I think this year is definitely a

much better time to pick up a next-gen

console last year they were new there

wasn't a lot of titles out so this is a

much better choice and they're cheaper

so that wraps up today's top 5 tech

under 500 bucks give this video a huge

thumbs up if you enjoyed it it of course

is appreciated and this time you get a

virtual high five from a swing as usual
