The Zalman Zalbar and Qi charger are both very interesting products. While definitely not being first to market in these areas it is great to see a company like Zalman making moves in this direction. As stated in the video I really appreciated the fairly slim form factor of the Qi for GS3. Cases GS3 are notoriously large due to the curved nature of the phone - so breaking from this stereotype even in a small way was refreshing.

The video presents the Zalman Zalbar dash cam along with a Qi wireless phone charger showcased at Computex 2013. It begins by framing the event’s sponsorships from Western Digital and Corsair, situating the product within a broaderComputex tech environment. The host explains the dash cam’s core functionality: mounting inside a car, recording to a Micro SD card, and offering the possibility to attach additional modules for expanded features. A key takeaway is the practical value of dash cams for insurance purposes, as they provide live footage that can prove fault in accidents, and the host cites the meteorite incident as a memorable, if unusual, use case to illustrate why constant recording can be useful. The video then demonstrates the Qi wireless charging capability by placing a smartphone on a charging plate, discussing how it can be deployed on desks, in cars, or near computer setups, and highlighting that the design is relatively slim compared to other wireless chargers. Finally, the host compares thickness and bulk, noting that while there is some added bulk, the wireless charging feature offers meaningful convenience, and invites viewers to subscribe for more Computex coverage. Overall, the presentation blends product demonstration with practical insurance considerations and real-world charging versatility, concluding with a friendly sign-off and a prompt to follow the channel for more content from Computex 2013.
