Very true but reviews aren't based on points of views. They're based on performance and quality in the products respective fields.

Most reviews these days, especially smartphone ones, are very much based on the reviewer's opinion and perspective. That's why I stick to sites like Anandtech/DisplayMate to determine the pros and cons of a product, and then I use things like Linus' and MKBHD's videos to learn how your average consumer would react to a product, and to learn how well they think some specific feature works.

I see what you mean. i think that Linus just wanted to provide the audience of a unique point of view on the product (as he usually does) It's obvious that you might not agree with him at 100%, but I think it's just a matter of points of view.

Wow. Those guys should sell empty cases; they are much better than most solutions available (that aren't caselabs).

also nice to see there is a real REASON why origins systems have a price premium

Good to know there are a few options out there who ensure that "prebuilt" doesn't necessarily mean crap
Very nice system!

Gaming on the road is great, but some gaming laptops get a bit too hot to handle - literally. Will the LC05 making laptop gaming a more manageable experience?
 
 

So much show coverage lately. Really screws with the release schedule. Should be back to normal very soon

It's not super accurate. Them releasing the old design was to gain the customers that weren't willing to upgrade ( like myself ) who enjoyed the rectangular design more then the curved 6s. Apple received a lot of backlash when they released the 6 and 6s for the curved design. Apple is not going to stop innovating. They simply packed the best features of the 6s into a form and design that people were asking for. I mean take a look at Apple's new 16nm A10 chip. Not that everything Apple touches is gold *cough* iTunes and Appstore *cough* *cough* but its a widely accepted fact that Apple has the best mobile phones. But Apple is not designing their phones for the budget minded. Like if you've got the money buy an iPhone but if you're on a budget buy Android. I think Linus is too biased and can't make a real unbiased review. Like you've got to take a step back and ask yourself "who is this product made for?" and if its not you then who? Take the product and review it pretending to be the target consumer. Because not every product is made for every type of person. And bias, like Linus', really ruins a good review.

Intel wants you to "change the game" with their brand new Skull Canyon NUC. This thing is absolutely bananas for its size, featuring a Core i7 processor, and Thunderbolt 3, which allows you to connect multiple 4K displays and even an external GPU.
 
Check out our PAX East video featuring it here!

You can learn more at Intel's page here, or you can pre-order yours today on Newegg this link.

It's the same few years old exterior with the same 8 months old interior w/o few functions like the 3D touch. I can see why one can think it's a boring phone and personally agree that it is, I've tried it just yesterday.
Then again, that's a personal opinion.

when was the last enthusiast hardware to be released? Once next gen stuff comes out thier will be videos on it. 

What has come out? We've been on the 900 series for a while and is similar in performance to the 700 series except for the 980 ti, the 300 series is a rebrand of a rebrand except for the top-end (at least performance clones like with nvidia if not architecture clones), Skylake is boring as fuck and AMD hasn't put out anything enthusiast-grade for CPUs in years.

They're all the same board with the only variant being usb 3.1 and fan headers. Not worth reviewing.

Have GPU (display) connectors been done before? Display Port, HDMI, DVI-D, DVI-I, VGA, etc.

Temporary has no time limit, friend.
 
Yeah jk I will

this might have been suggested, but you should do an episode on open source

EVGA has some massive street cred in other product categories, but will their expertise in motherboards carry over to a rockin' gaming laptops?
 
 

My rig has no name

Looks like I'm ready

Valve claims that only 9.4% of current gaming rigs are ready for VR... but as that number is based on the results of the Steam Hardware Survey, we don't think that it paints an accurate picture of the proportion of gaming PCs that are ready for VR that people actually intend to use for VR gaming.

So, being a part of this awesome forum community full of enthusiasts, we decided to see if we could paint a more accurate picture of the current state of the "VR for PC" market.


If you plan on using your gaming PC for VR, please take part in this test. Run the SteamVR Performance Test that Valve currently has available (through steam, you can find it at this link), and once you have your results, please do the following:

1. Comment below listing the following specs of your PC:
Rig name 
Cpu
Gpu
Ram
Score

2. Add a screenshot of your SteamVR Performance Test results.

3. Answer the poll question in this thread.


And that is all we need! Thanks so much for taking part in this fun little survey - let's see how many of you are truly ready for VR gaming!


If you thought this was cool and want to take part in another fun survey that we have here on the forum, check out @Jumper118's Cinebench R15 thread here.
