Best Tech Gifts Under $50: White Elephant!

[@bluchippa]

I cannot express how disappointed that the cheese printer wasn't real. I was truly looking forward to that separate video and review.

[@iamshanif]

Yeah, me too

[@bauke2903]

They should print that image of Linus’ head on the cheese

[@bluchippa]

@@CrystalStearOfTheCas that's a gouda idea

[@april147]

Yeah same, I even went to my sister to show it and she was astonished!

[@hopegold883]

It’s probably more than $50. But then, how did she get the box?? Maybe a review is still possible.

[@IlGiftedlI]

The way yall included Micheal is actually so genius. I felt like he was legitimately there and it was crazy how when Marques was opening gifts, he would look at them like he was there in person. Great job!

[@PSUC3]

The camera view he was seeing was from the opposite end of the room, but I suppose he looked right at marques which would be flipped on the screen so he would look left towards him

[@IlGiftedlI]

@@PSUC3 yeah that's what I figured, you can see the viewfinder at the bottom of the monitor

[@glucas71]

h3 inspired probably

[@aniketdubey8362]

The way Mariah just shut Marques down, shows that Marques has built a very friendly culture in the office. No boss-employee ego problem.

[@sibu7]

8:10

[@fxeditors]

Yea lol

[@dannyb6093]

Odd, yet nice to see Marques take a back seat and let everyone just be themselves.

[@DeanCovert]

That's the great thing with this channel, it's all about the people in the studio who make the big flashy MKBHD videos happen!

[@SolamenteTavo]

That's why it is the studio channel

[@jsonlee01]

When I see someone got a really crappy gift, I’ll steal it so they get to steal something they want or choose something else.

[@drthirteen5786]

That's the main concept of this new channel

[@hopegold883]

And that he kept the mouse so everyone could be happy! He must be good to work for. And we know he’s competitive. A rare person who knows when to compete and when be generous.

[@CateChapelle]

I really like that this channel has let us meet more great people as the MKBHD team grows without changing the tune of the main channel

[@esaedvik]

And that kinda hiring gets exceedingly difficult after a while.

[@alysonmarie]

Honestly watching Marques' reaction to these presents is making my day.

[@whilewaitin]

the best!

[@Thinkpanda404]

Mariah has the most chaotic energy 🤣🤣

[@DelonSerinoVlogs]

The way he spoke to Marques shocked me. Haha

[@iamshanif]

@@DelonSerinoVlogs yeah😳

[@JK8]

@@DelonSerinoVlogshe!?!?

[@CindyMcSold]

@@DelonSerinoVlogs well when your the only woman w a staff of bros...you gotta assert. Lol

[@DelonSerinoVlogs]

@@JK8 it was just a funny observation. Nothing to take too seriously here.

[@rippedjaws]

The digital hourglass and the charger which shows the power were, imo, the best

[@dannymartial7997]

The hourglass is a cool desk ornament, but the Chromecast, in my opinion, had the best value. I think I’d just rather tell siri to set a timer if I ever needed to.

[@rippedjaws]

@@dannymartial7997 True, that's a good point!

[@thelonelyloner7]

1:30 AM over here, fell sick and in bed for hours now. THIS video could not have come at a better time.

[@thelonelyloner7]

Also shout-out ADAM with the Arsenal beanie - From a Manchester United fan 👀

[@Adamlukas]

@@thelonelyloner7 haha you already know 🙏 also feel better!

[@GeorgeWilkins]

Hope you're feeling better soon.

[@aleks-33]

Feel better soon! It's 10:16pm here in Toronto and I gotta work late but now I got this fun video to keep me company ^^

[@abillow]

Love how the Studio Channel gives us a very human look to the team. Very excited to see more in 2023!

[@nusonria]

Mariah knowing where the boys won't be looking/searching at is such a power move.

[@mzrhub]

are you talking about the place she hid the second gift?

[@totallynotabusinessacc]

Y'all I'm so sorry the cheese printer did not go as I imagined rip me, fight or flight initiated 💀

[@LinusLooChooiHeng]

Would you like to share what is your initial plan with this? I am not getting it in the video...

[@DylanClarkSallee]

I thought it was hilarious lol

[@Manganellia1]

You managed to not only have the funniest gift, but also your secondary gift was also one of the most creative. You dominated this gift exchange haha

[@nigilvalikodath]

Joined KZbin today? No shot this is her. Wow Mariah is already getting fake accounts, she’s climbing up the ranks at MKBHQ

[@marmc110]

Mariah i am your biggest fan

[@VMYeahVN]

I love how expressive Marques' face is. I know that sounds weird, but i mean like, in the regular MKBHD videos. There's only a certain set of faces tech news makes him make. So to see him like in a more casual like hangout scenario like this and see him make goofy faces in response to jokes and such is really endearing. Always fun to see the office full group dynamic at play here too. Seems like a really fun place to work.

[@jonathanedwardgoode]

He shows us a lot of entertaining facial expressions 😆

[@Willy-Wacker]

This is a really clever way of doing tech gift guides, I love it!!

[@efleschner]

Expecting a full April Fools review of the cheese printer.

[@moonctrl]

Mariah is the best addition to this team hands down 😆

[@laughingseal007]

I love the use of the Odyssey Ark

[@xanderbose974]

What a great time this video was. Love the chemistry your team has, Marques.

[@21plz]

Marques being generous is the best gift to everyone at The Studio. 😌💙

[@21plz]

@@user-yf8hg9ye2p already deleted your reply? What are you afraid of? 😂

[@TrevHolland]

That whole cheese thing was just awkward and uncomfortable. It made no sense. It messed up the flow of the entire game. ...I loved it.

[@dreamxpaili]

omg this is such a fun video! i love it all from the matching sweaters to all black wrapping paper!

[@CinemaSteve]

I’ve used that SmallRig multi tool for close to 3 years now. Seriously if you do video just get it. It’s absolutely a game changer. The flat head alone is worth it but then it’s got the Allen and Phillips as well. So clutch.

[@dweinberg]

Finally! A gift giving favorite things video that isn't just a talking head. Bravo! That was fun to watch and now I have ideas for our White Elephant party 🥳

[@shethsa]

Great idea Marques! Did this with my family & friends. Was a complete blast! The 'steal' option adds spice to the proceedings!

[@marcelpinero5626]

love this kind of video frormat feels personal and vloggy. love it

[@bhavikn28]

I love how everyone matches!

[@evanparent07]

Chromecast is the best gift for sure; all of the video streaming options and game with GeForce Now.

[@rblew131]

The zooms on Marques . . . priceless.

[@WincTech]

This video was such a joy to watch, hope to see more like this in the future!

[@kzgames3023]

Way better than a normal sponsored tech gift guide

[@Courage8008]

Marques wins the gift exchange for not forcing someone else to take the used Magic Mouse.

[@Leanzazzy]

This is actually really nice. I think Marques' gift (the charger) and Adam's (the digital hourglass) were the best.

[@samuelbusse2028]

Small rig has some really great affordable camera products. only issue i had was a friction arm breaking but I overtighten everything, overall ive been very impressed

[@jrobledo]

Damn, and to think that not long ago he was just 1 man in his dorm making tech videos. What an inspiration for new upcoming KZbinrs and entrepreneurs!!! Kuddos Marques!

[@pragyanbezbo]

Loved how Michael's screen is placed at the beginning, he looks like he was looking right at them real-time :D

[@movieeater123]

the LTT desk pad reaction was incredible

[@Briggleton]

why'd he look so upset though?

[@ihavenoVEVO]

Mariah just bossing around Marques issa mood.

[@justforsneakz]

Loved the prank gift! Haha well done Mariah!

[@matthewseryOLD]

Honestly, this video is pretty supportive, I've been undecided this whole time, since most of the time, I've been confused with the new products from tech brands. Thank you Marques, very cool. 👍🏻

[@mohammedfaisalashrafi]

Aww Marques was so sweet in the end really love this guy 😄

[@mattiman1703]

Shout-out to the guy with the Arsenal beanie. Love him already. CLASSENAL

[@dipakchalise8547]

For a moment I imagined printing Linus’s face on Cheese and Cheese-Slapping would be a great game. 😂😂😂

[@SeanTube2099]

Loved the video. And I’m glad MKB kept the Magic Mouse.

[@JamesFromTexas]

Such a noble ending!

[@morganmay9149]

How about Tesla stock? It’ll probably get under $50 by Christmas

[@nicgarza3026]

I think the honorable mention has to go to the mini projector they actually works!

[@thekrixhna]

The wooden projector thing looks cool

[@tonysopranosduck416]

Old broad here, this came up in my google suggestion and actually saved it for later, knowing it would be both interesting and a blast. Didn’t disappoint! Kinda bummed the Cheese Printer isn’t legit.

[@LDreTheGiant]

I am now depressed after finding out the cheese printer isn’t real

[@noobcaekk]

the cheese printer was hilarious. then to find out it wasn't the real gift was even funnier. i think we all got played there xD

[@BuonoBruttoCattivo77]

lol Michael just there in full size thanks to that crazy monitor

[@KarosElite]

8:31 “those are *soft* cheeses..” bro knows his cheese and that made me chuckle.

[@nevillejames2200]

Love this. The timer is the best. I love Marques generosity.

[@SB.22]

As someone who asked for a borescope for Christmas, I'm jealous of Vinh's gift 🤣

[@Votterbin]

My aunt got me that exact same bluetooth beanie for Christmas last year, it's shockingly good. I had to EQ it a bit to give it bass, but apart from that it's so good they became my "work headphones"

[@user-ck4fm7os1w]

14:00 I've been using this 65w Charger with cable and it's been the best. 10/10 recommended

[@arun279]

the projector thing was def my favorite of the lot!

[@aleks-33]

That twist with the cheese printer was worthy of a Rian Johnson Glass Onion scene reveal

[@hernankev]

I keep watching Marques reaction. I kind of understand the suffering he is going through lol

[@jeffreysmith4586]

Andrew is right about the Chromecast being a great gift. I just finished wrapping one up for my brother for Christmas!

[@ajithgeorge730]

But don’t most people have smart tv these days?😅

[@MajorMinorGolf]

Do this a little sooner next year! Haha would've helped me last week pick gifts, now it's all wrapped! ✌️

[@imrlyunoriginal]

The used magic mouse is everyone's worst nightmare gift

[@april147]

That charger that shows time and the puzzle projector are the best in my opinion. Also, I was so excited for that cheese printer 😆😅

[@1Sirmuels]

A silly part of me kinda thought the gift to Michael was gonna teleport through the screen to him. Or that maybe they were gonna make an edit.

[@eefm99]

3:55 "a Johnny Lightning Hot Wheel" LOL, that's like saying "an iPhone Samsung"

[@sirgreen2792]

I liked Marques's gift the digital clock hour glass thingy was kl too.

[@forzaflash]

Mariah is a vibeeeee she's got the chaotic energy. Man... I wish the Cheese Printer was real hahaha

[@brentspotswood]

I can't wait for a real cheese printer to be on a Dope Tech video 😆

[@G2bb101]

This would have been a great video for the insta360. Just set it in the .middle of the table and let us look around

[@tap.andrack]

Respect for the Arsenal beanie, Adam!

[@AndrewSFrech]

Magic Mouse definitely won! Now add it to the retro tech series 😂

[@shvkpr1]

Adam a massive W for the Arsenal hat

[@AdrianSanabria]

Cheese printer wins, I was 100% fooled by that prank and wanted it to be real.

[@ScottJWaldron]

lol, neat video! My extended family does that most years. It's a fun addition to the holidays.

[@testadrome]

That curved screen in the corner looks dope!!

[@sweetspotendurance]

I LOVE this video format. Great video guys.

[@qa3byte142]

This was a really fun video. Make it a tradition!

[@108anup]

Marques's reaction to the LTT desk pad! 4:14

[@kaarteeek]

oh my god i love marriah she's savage 😭😂

[@Guill0rtiz]

That man is just digitally sitting there like a freaking Jedi knight and no one is talking about it???

[@therealcalebrz]

how did y'all record the audio for this? everyone individually mic'd? sounds great, but phase would be a nightmare with 8+ body packs

[@denisebattle5008]

I’ve put together one of the Rokr Vitascopes that Mariah gave- legit fun. Mine plays a short ‘movie’. I’ve been trying to find more movies to play on it.

[@imrlyunoriginal]

I feel like "It's a cheese printer!" is going to become a running joke here now

[@spdcrzy]

4:12 Marques' face KILLED me lmaoooo

[@ZA-mg5nq]

5:37 died at marques applauding usb c

[@droidwest90]

The Dog was my favorite part!

[@HailsLuxury]

This was the most heartbreaking, lovable gift exchange ever. 😂

[@smsmuadmoulana]

Didn't expect that humble ending

[@tophermaz]

Mariah left them all in the dust

[@DavidDarnes]

I think the fact that nobody got to eat a slice of printed Linus meme cheese means that everyone lost

[@RychyDoes]

Selling tech related prank boxes would be great!

[@Orangeco79]

I thought it was a mirror for a second lol. They’re so clever using the giant vertical display. 😂

[@rogerwhite8061]

That was the greatest opening music I’ve ever heard

[@alessandrodonina8746]

That Marques knows a lot about tech, should open a tech channel on his own

[@HugotheBrainwasher]

Michael's hologram is out there like a starwars jedi master

[@Ijmeisner]

Digging Adam’s Arsenal beanie!! ⚽️⚽️

[@sdragonxlr8storm]

My question is who was the cameraman at 9:20 , Do we have a new member?! 😀

[@ricardogriffith9384]

Awesome! Google Chrome Cast is a nice gift idea! I think it is the winner!

[@JonathanBarrow]

The “whose on 3rd” joke deserved more love

[@Ondrarix]

Enough is enough. I need to have this MKBHD sweater..
