- Hello and welcome to
"This Is" where we have a
very special guest today, Dave3D himself.
Dave, how are you doing today?
- Feeling pretty 3D dude.
- I'm surprised, I'm used
to seeing you sort of
in the 2D mode.
So Dave, we're gonna show you a list
of ten different tech items
and you need to give us
two answers per tech item.
First of all, what the actual item is.
Second of all, what year it came out
and we do have a plus or
minus one year handicap.
Dave2D are you ready to
enter the "This Is" matrix?
- I'll be honest, I'm not.
Like I feel like the
moment year is involved
on something like this it
becomes incredibly difficult.
- Well, the good thing is
you have a handicap, right?
So if you're plus or minus
a year you're totally fine.
- Yeah, okay, well we'll see, we'll see.
- Plus if you don't
know the piece of tech,
you can just guess the year
like kind of get vaguely right
and you can still get points because
to win our wager you only
need 50% of these right
so you can get the year on
every single one correct
and the name of every single one wrong,
you still are a "This Is"
winner with your Tweet of doom.
Do you have a Tweet ready for us?
- Not yet, I'm sure I'll
prime one for you guys.
- All right, let's start
with item number one.
- [Dave] Is this even a real product?
I may have done a video on this.
So it's a double screened device.
The one that comes to
mind is some Asus device
but that's not it.
If this is the difficulty like
if this is the caliber of
questions, I'm so screwed.
- So before you lock in
your answer, I will say
usually we have a Phone-a-Ken available
where you can call our
wonderful friend Ken Bolido,
however, that is no longer available
since Ken is taking the day off.
So instead you can do a Phone-a-Matt
and Matt may or may not know
the answers to these questions
since he found them all.
- Okay (laughs).
I'm gonna guess that it's
a product made by Lenovo.
A yoga something.
A Yoga Book.
- What year do you think this
Lenovo Yoga Book came out?
- 2000 and
18.
- Dave 2D you have impressed
millions and millions
with your delightful videos
and in this particular question
for question number one
you were incorrect.
This is the Acer Iconia
6120, from get this, 2011.
So this was a dual screen laptop
with that fully virtual keyboard.
This one's bizarre.
I had never seen this one in my life.
- I definitely didn't do a video on this.
- Yeah (laughs) so we tricked you.
Not all of these products
you've done videos on,
some of them you have,
some of them you haven't.
This one's a weirdo oddball,
so it's okay, it's okay.
You got nine more questions,
still completely in the game.
- I'm gonna eat some dirt on this one.
All right let's do it, number two.
- (laughs) All right,
number two, let's do it.
- Oh dude, I gotta think.
Is that...it's either OnePlus or two.
It's iconic, its totally OnePlus.
Everything about it,
the fingerprint sensor,
the shape of it, it's OnePlus.
It's either a two or a three
and I'm so disappointed in
myself I don't know this.
I feel like there's something
about the UI that is
that I should be like, if I
knew my Android versions better
I feel like those icons
are a tell.
No, I take, I rescind that,
I'm gonna go OnePlus 2,
I'm gonna go for year two thousand and
do I have to just go back in time here, no
to speed things up I'm
just going to guess here
2000 and
16.
- My 3D friend, your deductive
reasoning on this one
while very thorough,
is also 100% correct.
It is the OnePlus 2 from 2015
that's inside the handicap
so congratulations
you get full points on this one.
- I feel, I feel good about that.
- All the older like that
sort of mid-generation of
Android phone especially
so many of those phones to me look
just in my mind, just one blob of a phone,
like I just, it's a little difference here
a little difference there,
but they all look so similar.
Dave you're actually in good shape now,
so with that you're actually
at the 50% threshold
so you are 100% in the game.
If you can stay at this level,
you will be a "This Is" winner.
Let's move on to item number three.
- Look at that keyboard
dude, that looks like
straight up old AF and like mechanical AF.
- Look, I'm just going to be real
this one's a little unfair.
I'm just floating that out there.
This is a little unfair.
I'm gonna take...
- [Matt] There's no unfair
on the This Is game show!
- There is unfair, there
is unfair all the time.
Dave, I'm gonna give
you an extra handicap.
I'm gonna give you plus or
minus two years on this one
so if you can get within two years
of the date of this laptop
I will give you points for that.
- Okay, I'm gonna call my friend.
I'm gonna call Matt.
- [Matt] Hey, how ya doin'?
- (laughs) I'm doing, doing
all right but I feel like
I need your help on this one.
- [Matt] You know, being so
perceptive, I can tell you
that this is the Canon Note Jet.
- No it's not.
It is in fact the Canon Note Jet.
- Okay, what year it if from? (laughs)
- [Matt] What do you like about me?
- The end, the end, hang up, hang up.
- I feel like you have
a very nice personality
that likes to help people in game shows.
- [Matt] Oh, oh Dave2D I like you.
Uh it's from 1992.
- I feel like he gave me the year.
His year of 1992 I believe,
but a Canon
Note Jet?
No way.
- Oh, so you think he lied to you?
Oh, did you not tell him
you love "This Is" enough?
- I don't know, I feel like
he wanted more from me.
I'm gonna go with 1992, but
for product thing, model
I'm gonna go with IBM
Notebook 5000. (laughs)
- Dave, for question number three
you were very perceptive
and yes you are correct.
It is 1992, but the model of this
is in fact the Canon
Note Jet BN120C. (laughs)
- I just threw that one out the window.
- [Matt] I was super nice
and I was trying to help!
(laughter)
- Oh it has a printer built in?
- So it's underneath the keyboard,
so that's why Canon made it.
It's bizarre, it's weird,
but don't doubt Matt
I guess is the moral of the story here.
I, if I, like my brain didn't even go
into that realm of possibility
that there could be a printer built in.
- All right, well Dave
after three questions
you are at three of six potential points
so you're actually still
absolutely in the game.
So let's move on to question number four.
- Ah dude, easy, actually
I shouldn't say that.
I believe it's the HP
OmenX.
This type of product with the
double screen is super rare
right, not a lot of companies have done it
so that's why my memory of
this just a little more,
a little better so HP OmenX.
I'm gonna go for 2019.
It's probably 2018 but I'm
going for the plus minus
because it could've been
this year that I did it
so I'm going for 2019.
- It doesn't matter because
you're dead on regardless.
Yes, this is the HP OmenX from 2019.
So Dave you did a video
on this not that long ago.
I didn't know if this was
a year old at this point.
- Yeah, you lose track of
time on this kind of stuff
but it felt recent enough.
- Got very good news for you right now
you are at five of eight points.
You are well above 50% right now.
(beep)
- Hey guys, hey, hold on.
I won this ten second ad spot
from a recent "This Is" episode
so Austin take it away.
- Hello everyone and thank
you very much for subscribing
to Sara's podcast "That Creative Life"
available at the link in the description
where you can find the most recent episode
that I was one with Sara,
oh joy.
(beep)
Let's move on to question number five.
- [Dave] (laughs) Some
of these feel so hard.
Okay, I'm thinking another HP or Acer.
They're the companies
that do like the rounded,
bubbly stuff, oh, also Sony.
Some of their older
stuff was like that too.
And that battery, see that hump?
That looks like a detachable battery.
We'll go with 2000
and nine.
- Okay, got it, 2009.
- Uh (laughs) Sony Chromebook 5.
- My friend, with your
voluminous knowledge
of tech large and small,
powerful and terrible
for this question, you were 50% correct.
It is the 2010
Toshiba AC100
and it is actually not a Chromebook.
This is the very first Android laptop.
- Interesting.
- This thing was I don't
want to say terrible
but terrible is I think
a good word for it.
Yeah, super weird, super
bizarre, this was pre-Chromebook
which actually started shipping in 2011.
So there was obviously some market for
something that was not Lennox
but wasn't like Windows
but I mean this thing looks straight
just like a crappy old netbook.
- But hey, half there, we're good.
- My friend, you're doing very well so far
so why don't we move
on to item number six.
- I feel like I should
know this really well.
I think I can kinda like
stumble my way there.
Definitely an Acer product, it's Triton,
That's the moniker.
'K we'll get there, for year
we're gonna go with 2019.
The Acer Triton
900.
- Dave2D I'm not going to play with you,
full points that's absolutely
the Acer Predator Triton 900 from 2019.
- Okay, cool.
Sweet!
- I think it look's cool.
It has that very sort of
Acer looking aesthetic.
- [Dave] No that's definitely
an interesting looking machine.
I never actually got to use
one, like this exact one though.
I never got to try this thing.
It just looks super cool.
- At this pit Dave you're
actually in very good shape.
You are at eight points.
You only need to hit ten points
and you have clenched the game.
So at this point you've got,
you've got four questions
to get two points.
- I gotta do it.
I gotta do it.
- All right, all right,
well then let's move on
to question number
seven.
- What?
I'm thinking a gaming phone.
'Cause the wallpaper.
I'm assuming this is marketing material.
That wallpaper looks straight
up like Asian gaming phone.
So, okay, this is the
thing that comes to mind.
I feel like it's a Black Shark phone.
Like they made something
like this a couple years ago
or last year and I also feel
like if there was a white phone
like this or like a gray phone like this
I would've been all over it.
Like I would've been really
interested to get it in.
Okay, okay, okay, I'm gonna
go with Black Shark 3.
I'm going with 2019 again.
I don't think it's actually 2019
but I want to be in the middle there
for the plus minus again.
- Dave, I've gotta say
you've really had me going
for these last few phones
but actually you're 100% correct.
This is the ROG phone.
- What?
- Not it's not (laughs) I'm just kidding
it's the Black Shark 2.
I'm just screwing with you.
- Ahh, it's the Black Shark 2?
It came in white like this?
- Apparently so, apparently so!
I don't know, I guess
you just of missed out
on this color way or something.
- What year was it?
- It was 2019 so you do get 50% points
which means you're very, very
close to clenching this one.
- I want, I want that clench.
- All right, let's move on
to question number eight.
- Okay, there's no way I'm
getting this product name.
It almost looks like an old Dell product.
There's no clues!
The weird thing to me is that
they would even try to
do something like this
with seemingly no,
I'm gonna go for 2010, 'K.
2010 is my, yeah, and the Acer
Folder.
- Dave, you have amazed me
with your impeccable tech knowledge.
You have done an incredible
job of deciphering the clues.
But for this one you actually kinda
talked yourself out of it.
It actually is a Dell.
This is the Dell Adamo, but
I'm very happy to report
it is from 2009 which means
you do get the point for the year.
- So it did fold like this?
I'm not mistaken, it actually folds?
- That is the way that the
laptop is meant to be used.
Obviously, super thin for a 2009 device,
but obviously a little bit of
a questionable design choice,
but look how thin that thing looks.
For 2009 that is pretty impressive.
- That's pretty cool,
that they made something like that
'cause I feel like they
wouldn't do that today
not in terms of like
experimental designs like this.
Dave I'm actually very happy to report
that you have reached the 50% threshold,
so at this point
well obviously I have a
couple of questions left
but at this point
you could just take your
Tweet and walk away.
Or you could continue playing
for our double or nothing bonus round.
You don't have to make a decision yet.
We still have a couple of questions
that you could just breeze
through because it doesn't matter
you've clenched.
Let's move on to question number nine.
- This was the water cooled one!
Oh dude, first for like the longest time
I thought that was like
some crazy speaker set up.
I maybe even have done a
review on this so long ago.
No disrespect to the company,
but this is just stupid.
(laughs) Because it is so not scalable.
They would run, they would run piping,
like water coolant piping
through the laptop.
I think, I forget, you know
what, it's been so long.
I think that's how it worked.
That's crazy man,
that they even attempted
something like this.
It's made by Asus,
it's the
it's an ROG, it's got the ROG
like language all over it.
The ROG
GX,
I'm just guessing here,
the GX 901.
The year, let's go with 2017,
I think it's 2018 actually,
but I'm guessing 2017, for the flex.
- Okay for the flex.
Dave the flex is 100% correct
it is the 2017 Asus ROG GX800VH.
And what really made
this crazy in addition
to the water cooling
it that there was water
cooling dual GTX1080's in SLI.
- Oh, yes.
That's why they needed that dude.
- Do you want to take a guess?
Just for fun at how much this costs?
- Oh my God,
like 6000 US.
- (laughs) You are exactly
correct it was $6000.
I'm all out here for weird, cool designs
but this was like one step too far of like
just look at how thick it is.
Like look at that USB port and look
at how thick the laptop is
not even counting the water cooling dock.
- That would've been like
30 pounds to bring around.
Holy smokes.
- All right, well Dave
it's time to move on
to potentially the final question
question number 10.
- It's either Xiaomi or Huawei.
It's a MacBook clone and this
was the best they could do.
I feel like if Huawei
was doing this though,
they would do a better job of the edges,
You can tell that bottom panel is not
it's not a good, right?
It's not a good fit.
They just stuck underneath there.
I'm going with Xiaomi, I'm gonna go 2018,
but the model is, I forget
what they call them,
the Xiaomi Ni Book 13.
I'm going with that,
Xiaomi Ni Book 13 2018.
- Dave, this is
a laptop to be fair
which originally came out in 2016,
but this is specifically the 2019 model,
very few differences but the fingerprint
as well as the color,
are a couple of them.
So you get the point for that.
This is the Xiaomi Mi
Notebook Air.
- Notebook Air, of course! (laughs)
- So Dave I'm very happy to report
you have won "This Is" game in style.
So if you'd like you can take your Tweet,
you can tell the entire
world whatever you'd like
from the "This Is handle," call it a day.
Or you can go, double or nothing
on a final bonus question.
The stakes are simple.
If you lose, you walk away with nothing.
You're obviously still a "This Is" winner
and nothing cannot take
that away from you,
but you will leave with
no Tweet, no prize.
If you are successful however,
you will get a 30 second
ad spot on "This Is"
where we will read whatever
you would like us to read
in a legitimate actual
upcoming "This Is" episode.
However, the catch is
you have no handicap.
So you need to get the year
and the model name basically dead on.
- Okay, I'm gonna go for it.
Chances are I'm not even going
to use your ad spot for anything real.
- We can literally talk about
the color teal for 30 seconds
if that's what you'd like.
Whatever you want.
- Okay.
- Now that you've opted to go for
the double or nothing
question, let's take a look
at our final bonus item
- I feel like I've seen
this like multiple times.
It's so clean dude.
This is a real product?
This is real?
This isn't conceptual?
- This is a real product that
shipped to real consumers.
So I'm gonna give you a very
slight handicap on this one.
- [Matt] No!
- No, no, just a very slight one,
this is one of those model numbers
that has a bunch of numbers on the end.
You don't have to get those.
You just have to get the actual model name
and the year correct.
- What is that thing on the bottom left?
That's not a speaker.
Like what would that be for?
Some, oh, it's a camera!
It's on the bottom.
My guess in terms of manufacturer
whose got the,
whose got the bankroll to
make something like this?
Let's call it the Sony Tablet
and for year I'm going with 2016.
- My friend,
after 10 grueling questions
and an 11th bonus question,
the "This Is" game is
officially at it's end.
And you
are
unfortunately wrong!
This is the 2014 Dell
Venue 8.
- Oh my God.
I've, I think I've covered this thing.
- There's and Intel atom
processor unit in here
based on when they were
really pushing Android on X86.
- Austin, I made a video on this.
- Did you really?
- I made a a video on this.
It was like the second or
third video I ever did.
That is so embarrassing.
- It's okay, if it makes you feel better,
I was the very first
participant in this game
and it was almost entirely on
things I had done videos on
and I got almost all of them wrong.
- I think, I actually think
this was like the second
or third video I ever did.
- It's actually, Matt says it's actually
your very first video.
- Very good.
- It's okay Dave, you've
been a great sport
and don't forget you
still won the game, right.
This is the double or ,
but you still technically won the game.
You might not have your ad spot,
but I'll Tweet what you
want any day anyways,
so it's fine.
- But it was fun playing this.
This was actually way more enjoyable
than I thought it could be.
I thought we'd be sitting here like
roasting me of how poorly I know tech but
- No see, we try to get a good balance.
- Thanks Steve, thanks for having me.
- So when you go to YouTube.com/Dave2D,
you can find lots of wonderful videos
all about technology that
I'm too lazy to cover.
- That's right.
- Thank you very much for coming on.
If you enjoy, make sure to
subscribe here on "This Is"
for lots more game shows
and other tech shenanigans,
until next time,
Dave would you like to
play us out with a little,
a little song perhaps?
Would you like to stretch
your legs and pretend
that you're not sitting this whole time?
- I'm not sitting.
I'm standing.
Or am I standing?
Or am I sitting? (laughs)
Dude just cut it, just kill it.
(theme song plays)
