I spent $12,000 on the THINNEST Tech

Impressive to fit a desktop PC into a keyboard, but the fans are very loud and it costs about as much as a laptop.

A genuinely thin 16 mm mechanical keyboard that still feels great to type on and is easy to carry.

A clever flat-packing mouse that works better than it looks, but the touchpad scroll is a sacrifice.

A 14.3 mm portable monitor with a built-in rotating stand and a bright, sharp picture that he loved.

A thin laptop that beat the deconstructed desktop setup on speed, screen and noise, despite some creaky plastic.

A 7.4 mm gift-card sized multi-tool with 14 tools that he found surprisingly impressive.

A 6.7 mm console sold like a gift card; cool and nice-looking screen, but awkward controls and he wouldn't buy it.

A stylish 6.5 mm 5000 mAh MagSafe power bank that stays pocketable.

Tiny 6.4 mm transforming earbuds that stick to your phone; sound is average but the design is well thought out.

A 5.5 mm e-reader that snaps to your phone; one-handed and distraction-free, though the phone screen can do the same job.

The newer pro version adds a backlight and touchscreen but is thicker and sticks out from the phone.

A 3.1 mm stick-on laptop stand that adds almost no thickness and improves ergonomics.

A 2.2 mm magnetic leather back that works in concept but feels plasticky and scratches easily.

Its 0.3 mm nib lets him write far smaller than a normal pen.

Four layers of paint turn any surface into a light, and the PS5 result looked better than he expected.
