We did this trip back in March of 2020, but we ended up pausing publication of several travel videos at that time. Now, we're ready to start sharing them again, and we're excited with this new style of factory tour editing. Please help share this one with friends if you liked it. We really had to dig deep to cut it all together without the ability to return to Taiwan right now, but it was worth it. Enjoy learning about Electrophoretic Deposition, anodization, painting, and electroplating! Now, when it comes to PC parts, you can learn more about how it's made!

GN is the most thorough when it comes to reviewing hardware. No one beats them. The closest is Digital Foundry, but DF focuses mostly on software. The fact that GN is referenced so much when the news about the revised PS5 came out, was a nice breath of fresh air, that DF has helped teach people that a single data-point ( EX: Temps of exhaust heat ) isn't enough to draw a conclusion. So their work IS making an impact. Now I just need to start my new job ( with a nice pay increase ) so I can order their newest mod-mat!

I love these series... It is extremely eye opening to actually see the life cycle of products we purchase and the environmental impact our consumer patterns has. Thinking twice or multiple times before purchasing stuff on a whim and instead asking ourselves "do I really need it? am I unhappy with what I already have?" is a very good practice indeed. I for one will not purchase a new chassi as long as it holds up and ATX standards don't go obsolete. Same goes with coolers. I bought a Noctua, I have been in contact with the company over the years ordering new mounting mechanisms for new socket standards, never been more satisfied with a product. Why buy completely new when these products could last for 15, 20 even 30 years. Anyway, awesome job guys! :)

This one definitely felt more like something you might watch on TV then one of your normal videos. The transitions had the music highlights which only a couple times seemed odd, most very good. It did almost seem like y'all really wanted to use some of the footage from around town though, and it seemed unusual for you guys. I'm much more used to seeing that in an introduction or conclusion part of a video. Regardless of that, I still really enjoyed the content and appreciate you guys doing these, I have learned so much from them about all of these various parts that I used to take for granted. When I built my first computer almost 2 decades ago, I was just super excited to put everything together and have the dang thing turn on. Gotta have a lot of appreciation for the level of modern technology, world trade, and ingenuity involved in the end product.

The trickle down effect is interesting with these coatings. First they showed up on PC parts and later they hit the appliance aisle at your local store and especially at the home shopping cable channels, which LOVE having every product in 90 dozen colors. So there's a coffee maker and vacuum cleaner is every possible color. Thanks China!

Fantastic coverage as always! I really enjoyed how you guys went into how the electrodeposition process actually worked, and didn’t gloss over it. It felt like you gave me an overview of everything I needed for the video to make sense, and not too far into the weeds. Small suggestion - would it be possible to link to some of the sources you used for understanding the process itself in the description? I’d like to read more about the manufacturing process.

For this one, most of what we learned came from the conversations at the factory. The Wikipedia page is a decent start, but beyond that, it'd probably help to do some reading on electroplating to get some more foundational knowledge of electrodeposition!

I'm sure that a non-music version of the video as a Patreon exclusive would be a nice addition. I don't think adding the music is bad, but it just doesn't necessarily fill the GN style that I'm sure many of us would expect. I say this despite me not being a Patreon because I don't do subscriptions, and I don't think the music really detracts from the vid. But I do think having that option for the classic GN style would be appreciated.

I love this channel, but I love the factory tours the most. It's incredibly important on a technical level to understand how our stuff is made, but also on a globalized cultural-economic level. The "made in China" meme is so tired at this point. Does everybody realize that China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea are the heart of this planet's technological manufacturing and development from the lowest value-oriented product to the highest end? And big personal props to Steve for learning Mandarin, which is obviously the most important language of computer hardware. 很棒!
