Oof, a 250$ jacket from LTT Store? So is LTT now a luxury clothing brand?

"all without raising the price. take that sony."
"it's $20 more than last gen"
seems kind of silly to throw some shade at sony at the beginning, doesn't it?
Yeah, I did not understand the comparison to Sony too.
If anything, they should've thrown shade at Nintendo for the lazy Switch OLED upgrade. And that too in terms of features for a refresh version of the devices, not for the money they charge.

FWIW, I had seen the original and the only difference I think I can see is at 28:00
At 27:57 Linus show shock at "three hundred dollars" and then we switch a shot of the invoice "Ah, while our invoice shows said three hundred dollars for shipping, in their checkout you can see the shipping costs should be ninety nine dollars and the rest is import duties and taxes", along with commentary of a software bug and a refund. Which takes us to 28:22 where the original carries on.
I _think_ that's the only change!
Appreciate the comparison. But this just got me thinking, the software bug was just caught when LTT dropped the video with the included shipping costs the first time. Does that mean the other customers who have been ordering from out of US (probably Canada specific bug?) have been paying double the import duty and Starforge has been just pocketing the money? Sure, LTT got the refund back, but does Starforge have any data/idea of the people affected by this bug?
Any updates on the affected customers would have been a good addition to the video as well. I hope they clarify this at some point in the future.

As many here have already mentioned, this video without a testing phase of different refresh rates is incomplete. Also, what makes this incomplete is the use of just high end hardware for the testing. Sure, Linus did mention the impact will be even more, but just how much more.
Having a 1440p 144Hz monitor with a side 1080p 1440Hz on a RTX 3060Ti/RTX 3070 class of GPU is not unusual and should be a pretty common config among people.
Why not test those and find out just exactly how much it affects the performance then? I sometimes really get tired of such findings only being limited to high end hardware when most common people might not have it.

I can't express how disappointed I am in this video. I fail to understand how you create a video, that's basically a dedicated showcase for VTech products, while failing to mention that the company illegally spied on and stored data of (including photos) millions of children without parental consent. Oh, and then improperly secured said data, lied about how the data was stored, then lead to a data breach.
https://www.engadget.com/2018-01-09-vtech-settles-ftc-lawsuit-over-childrens-data-privacy.html
Hell, here's a topic from this very forum on the news:
I'm sorry @TannerMcCoolman, but this video is a grave disservice to the topic of children's tech toys. Privacy and safety should be top of mind when it comes to internet connected products targeted at children, and I don't recall it being mentioned once in this video.
LTT has added verbal disclaimers or simply refused to showcase products from companies who have been accused of much less. I'm not sure why VTech was given a pass here.
I agree . This video is not a good look on LTT What's worse is they still have the affiliate links for viewers to buy vtech products they
showcased.
Unsuspecting viewers might not be aware of the security concerns and may buy them.

Sorry, a storage/servers noob here, but don't these convertors from NVMe M.2 to the server sled format create more points of failure? Are these convertors also enterprise level (low failure rate and such)?
And also, this solves the issues of the drive replacement, but checking which drive has failed, is that something their server software can let them know of or they have to keep checking which one failed? Probably the indicator LEDs on top of each drive bay?

Seems like a CPU bottleneck. Are you using ray tracing in the game? If so, you are certainly being bottlenecked by the CPU as this and Miles Morales both are extremely CPU demanding with raytracing on. Try disabling or decreasing ray tracing quality.
Also, what resolution are you using? If it is 1080p, why use DLSS? RTX 3060 should be able to handle Spiderman on native 1080p res without much issues. Disabling DLSS would also increase GPU utilisation and take some load off of CPU. Try that.

i5 10400F
32GB RAM
RTX 3080
Game performs poorly on my machine. Sometimes I have stable fps, but sometimes (usually in crowded area or outside) fps drops to 50 or even 40 with stutters and lags. I played with different settings in graphics, but nothing helps. Oh and it's without ray tracing. I don't even want to imagine what results I would get on ray tracing on lol.
You are getting heavily bottlenecked by the CPU, unless you are playing on a GPU bound resolution/settings such as 1440p/4K without DLSS, ultra settings.
That i5 is quite old now and cannot really keep up with the RTX 3080 in latest titles. Try lowering just the CPU bound settings such as population density, foliage and keep the rest of the settings on high to allow GPU utilization. At lower settings and lower res, you start becoming even more CPU bound, hence less FPS.
And remember, Hogsmeade, is the CPU killer. I go from 70-80FPS to 40-50 in Hogsmeade on my RTX 3070 and Ryzen 7 5800H laptop at 1440p using DLSS quality.
Edit: Oh and Ray Tracing is trash in this game. No need to enable it, ever. It is buggy and causes all sorts of light leakage in indoor areas and doesn't even apply to water surfaces.

This was a great video showing the concepts that Framework is working on and looks like it might benefit even other brands.
But I am seriously disappointed with the title and thumbnail choice. My interpretation of the title was - 'I done goofed supporting Framework, they are going down, I am ditching them'.
Like seriously, with content as interesting as here, why use a shitty title? I realize it has to do with views and reach, but a more appropriate title could've been selected.

As I can see this is a desktop, so disabling it would not cause issues as long as you are not plugging in the DP/HDMI to the motherboard. Hell, it might even give you a benefit if you disable it, as atleast on laptops, integrated graphics take up a chunk of your RAM to use as VRAM. My laptop Ryzen 7 5800H uses 2GB, but came with a default of 4GB allocation to integrated GPU.
If you have tons of RAM, it might not be an issue, like I had 32GB, so can spare a few more to iGPU, but if you have 16GB or so memory, every bit counts, especially while playing games on higher res/settings as I assume you might be doing if you have the 7900XTX.

21GB ram for a 3rd person game? wow.
not into harry potter, waiting for discount season.
What has type of view got to do with RAM utilization?
Anyways, yeah, it is a pretty demanding game. I would say weirdly demanding since I hit heavy CPU bottleneck if I go below High settings on my laptop Legion 5 Pro, with RTX 3070 and Ryzen 5 5800H with 32GB RAM at 1080p and the view is blurry too. Hence a mix of High-Ultra at 1440p with DLSS quality on a 1080p monitor looks perfectly good with some sacrifice to textures due to 8GB VRAM.
Edit: As for the game itself, I have spent around 12 hours on this game since I bought it Saturday and this is the most amount of time I have ever spent on a newly purchased game in just a small number of days. It really is a pretty detailed game in terms of lore and content and can't wait to get back from work today to play again.

A laptop is a major compromise in noise and heat. A gaming desktop will be dead silent when it's doing "nothing", and the fans never spin up to 100% except to save itself in a poorly cooled case. At 100% fan speed the RTX 3090 Desktop is at 77 degrees full tilt. The ASUS RTX 2070 Laptop? 80 degrees at idle, 92 degrees full tilt. Keep in mind that the ROG Zephyrus is marketed as 300hz G-sync laptop as well.
Hell, go look at the existing version: https://rog.asus.com/laptops/rog-zephyrus/rog-zephyrus-g16-2023-series/rog-intelligent-cooling/ . You know what the Intel 9th gen+RTX 2070 model did? It opened the back of the laptop a crack when you unfolded it. Thereby letting in all the environmental dust, and amplifying the noise.
two year old model:
vs
current model
Take note of that second-from-the-bottom right-most image. Now it opens from the top instead of the bottom.
That is how ASUS is making a desktop-tier GPU fit into a laptop, by exposing the inside of the laptop at the expense of noise.
What about other manufacturers...
MSI: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/Titan-GT77-HX-13VX
Gigabyte https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Laptop/AORUS-17H--2023#kf :
Still marketing "smaller"
ASUS has a whole two pages talking about cooling, and the other two kind of just go "hey look we got heatpipes too", 2 fans on GB, 3 on ASUS and 4 on MSI.
People don't think about how much noise the laptop makes because they were not originally intending to use it as a desktop replacement. But when you use a laptop as a "desktop replacement" (always plugged into the wall) it makes substantially more noise after a few months (depending on ambient temperature of the room it's in) and maybe even sooner if the user smokes anything and/or has pets of any kind. If a user was actually using it as a "laptop" so they can use it on their lap, like in an airport or bus/ferry terminal, they're in for a rude awakening. They are too loud to use in a library, and in places where people expect to be able to sleep. Better make sure not to share any hotel rooms when travelling just to be sure.
Lol you still don't get @lostcattears point. They are talking how even laptop components are able to hit very good FPS at very high resolutions and hence the no compromise on the performance. A few short years ago, this wasn't possible. The leaps with which laptop components have progressed in performance is substantial and though you could argue that they get hot, which laptop components are designed to be and it is very normal to see temperatures such as 85-90 on the CPU and around 80-85 on GPU on a laptop.
You just can't keep comparing laptop temperatures vs a desktop. Comparing a desktop 3090 to a 2070 laptop in terms of temperatures at full tilt is just dumb. You can't just dismiss the space advantages the RTX 3090 desktop has. Just compare the volume of your laptop and the desktop. And if you are hitting above 80C with that RTX2070 laptop on idle, something is definitely wrong with your machine and you need to get it checked out.

My "Asus" laptop is the one I'm complaining about. Why is it there are people on this forum who seem to have a knee jerk reaction to people who have actual experience, that contradicts the lies they've been told by manufacturers?
You may want to turn the volume down, as it was recorded with a Yeti X plugged into a different computer. The microphone is aimed directly at the laptop keyboard.
That is what the laptop sounds like as soon as you do anything. That is a RTX 2070 in an ASUS GX701GWR
The fans dying literately go from "Whoosh" to "death rattle" and if you're unlucky, which I was not able to get the laptop to do this time, it does this really loud death rattle that you'd associate normally with ball bearing fans.
That Asus Zephyrus has fans that look like this:
https://www.ebay.ca/itm/353503017261
Lies told by the manufacturers? Mate I am speaking from my personal experience and I never believe whatever crap manufacturers say about their laptop cooling solutions. I always rely on 2-3 laptop review sites/reviewers before making my personal buying decisions.
Sure, your laptop does sound like a jet engine. Have you ever once cleaned the fans? Using it on a proper flat surface so that fans are not choking for air intake? Have you set your laptop to always run in Performance/Ultra mode or whatever it is called in the Asus Armoury Crate software?
3 hours ago, Kisai said:This is a repeated, recurring problem on every Dell laptop after 9 months of use as a desktop replacement. I don't expect very much of Dell, but this is the same scenario repeated over and over regardless of model and brand. The only thing separating a "good laptop" from a rubbish laptop is how much plastic is used.
Jeez mate, calm down with the exaggaration. You think every model and brand has this problem? Everyone of the millions/billions of people using laptops in the world have the same problem after 9 months? Have you tested every model of every brand of laptop under the sun?
Look mate, I am not trying to start a war here, nor am I invalidating your experience. But you speaking about every model/brand having the same problem as you are currently having or had with your laptop purchases is a gross generalization. You might also have to accept the fact that you have been extremely unlucky with the fans on your laptops over the years or either there is something else contributing to this repeating issue on every one of your laptop.
That being said, I am again interested in seeing the performance and thermals of the individual laptops with RTX 40 series cards before I start recommending them to my friends/families who need them.

Read the room. I have laptops from the very manufacturers the poster claimed were not a problem. I also have years of experience with laptops. This is a recurring problem on the forum, years of experience gets ignored by a poster wanting to try the "hey have you tried not using old kit?" argument when nothing has changed in this regard since 2008. Gaming laptops BAD. Business "portable workstations" are BAD. Every single thing-and-light laptop, without exception, is BAD, as they only retain that NOT BAD behavior for a few months, and then the fans either ramp to 100% immediately, or they throttle back the performance in order to save themselves.
When you say nothing has changed, you are clearly being ignorant. There are good laptop cooling designs and there are bad laptop cooling designs. I have always considered laptops as a complete package and with adequate research on the types of cooling they have and how cool they can keep the components.
Before my Legion 5 Pro, I have had 2 other laptops, one was gaming from HP and the other was a normal thin and light with a dGPU from Acer. They were by no means high end laptops, but they still delivered the same experience as when I had first bought them till the time I sold them off. Hell, both the laptops were sold to my friends/family and they are still using it, with the thin and light one still being used for college education around 6 years later.
46 minutes ago, Kisai said:When every "thin" laptop has to have it's cooling replaced, without exception within months where as thicker, older laptops had much longer lifespans, because the laptops didn't heat up so nearly as much.
There is a very high possibility that you have just been unlucky with your laptops. If what you say is true and every thin and light needs cooling replacements within a few months, then there would not have been such a huge market for them.
47 minutes ago, Kisai said:It has never been cost effective to have a gaming laptop, that you use as your sole computer. Laptops have never, ever, been designed to work like this, and the thin-and-light models were not designed for 8-hour gaming sessions let alone workstation business needs. Yet the people making the purchasing decisions seem to think smaller is cheaper, so you get these people with 14/15" thin laptops running AutoCAD that you can hear from half way across the building.
I definitely agree that one will get a much better price/performance building a desktop at the same price range as a good gaming laptop, but I bought a laptop because I needed one. I am constantly moving between cities and need my computer with me. I am also planning to go to a different country this year and I hate to think the pain it might have been to carry huge gaming desktop with me, alongwith the peripherals such as a monitor.
52 minutes ago, Kisai said:The most frequent complaint from the switchover from desktops to laptops by multi-billion dollar engineering firm is that the laptops are "loud", so much that people on conference calls complain that they can't hear the person... and they are wearing a noise canceling headset.
A thin laptop that is not noise-free at idle, and can't keep itself under 60 degrees, is not a good design.
At this point you are just exaggerating. Or thinking about laptops like the Acer Predator 21X, which were never designed to be used as a laptop for normal people. Also, most, if not all gaming laptops these days have some form of fan control software built-in or a third party one available. I have set mine to never turn on fans unless the temps go above 50-55C and it never does whenever I am browsing or watching Netflix/Prime Video or even doing light office work.

I'm sure people enjoy listening to jet engine sounds coming from the laptop just to play a game at lowest settings. At least a chonky laptop can fit a suitable cooler. The thin-and-light trash that we've been sold for the last 5 years have these ultra-crappy fans that wear out after 9 months and then sound like a death rattle.
Oh wow. Have you even looked at any of the recent gaming laptops from Lenovo, Asus, MSI? They are so much more powerful yet are not too bulky, still provide around 6-7 hours of battery life in non-gaming workloads and the fans don't even sound like jet engines anymore.
I have a Legion 5 Pro with an RTX 3070 which is somewhere in the performance level between the desktop RTX 3060Ti and RTX 3070. It is very easily able to hit ~80-90 FPS on Forza Horizon 5 on Ultra settings at 1440p and around 70-80 FPS on COD MW2 on Ultra settings at 1080p. And these numbers are without DLSS or any other image reconstruction tech. While being just 2.5kgs in weight (around 3.3 with adapter).
The Legion Slim series is even more impressive.
My point being, you can get a very good performance in a laptop now and the days of playing games on lowest settings while the fans sounding like engines are gone, unless you are trying to use 6-7 years old laptop to play recent titles.

I get you on that but the cheapest Macbook Air M1 that I can find is 730$...that is double what my initial budget is and I simply cannot afford that right now. And since I see how big a mess apple laptops and computers are I might just switch to windows laptops. I found 2020 laptops with 10th gen Intel CPUs for 300$ so there's just no point
Hey! Just want to point out that you mentioned your dad using weird applications on his laptop, right? If those are Windows based apps, I would recommend asking him if their Mac counterparts are even available. In case they are, then you should be fine with switching to Mac, else you might be limited to Windows machines.

Okay, so this isn't first time the LTT performance tables allude me. Why is it so hard for you guys to create a table that is easily readable so I don't have to stop every time you show something to me.
Making it more readable:
Colour mark the Companies
Sort them Top-down with per Performance tier, exempli gratia i9-13900k R9-7900X i7-13700k R7-7700X
Group them by company; i9-13900k i7-13700k and another group R9-7900X R7-7700X
Or just have the Top performer at the top, like a cpubenchmark.net graph.
Then another thing, why are you guys testing on Windows 11 when still only 12th Gen and newer (excluding AMD) gets a performance boost and everything else a performance hit?
https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/windows-11-2022-update-causing-games-to-stutter-and-frame-rates-to-drop
Why not test on Linux when Windows is the actual bottleneck? *this post was written by Linux gang*
brAgree on the graphs part. Like how hard is it to arrange them based on the performance numbers? Why is 294 avg. FPS for Shadow of the Tomb Raider for 13600k below 255 avg. FPS for 12700k?
The graphs ARE the reviews for such things and as soon as they are wrongly ordered/numbered/represented, the review video becomes a chore to sit through. Please LTT team, get someone to look at the video entirely before releasing it.

Respectfully diagaree, Android Go's requirements are effectively a minimum requirement for Android devices in general.
If a device barely meets the requirements, it uses Android Go and if it comfortably meets the requirements then it uses standard Android.
As to this being only for really low end phones: Some of the devices that previously ran standard Android will now need to run Android Go. Older devices particularly running lineageOS are likely to be particularly affected by it unless the lineageOS project takes out the code that looks for these requirements.
Hmm, now that I think about it, it makes sense.

Misleading title tbh. This is for Android 13 Go edition which people will only be running on some really low-end devices.

Windows 11 has a sort of a bug with the taskbar when using multiple monitors (atleast in dual monitor setups) where if you have the start menu open while connecting a monitor or switching modes between Duplicate, Second screen only, or PC screen only, the start menu either just gets stuck on the taskbar or does this weird thing where the start menu is behind the taskbar and does not move.
I used to face this almost on a daily basis on my personal laptop (which is on Windows 11) when I connected my external monitor, but not on my work laptop which is still on Windows 10. The only solution to this would be to close the start menu before connecting an external monitor or changing modes. I have not looked through Windows 11 known issues so do not know if this is a bug that is known or reported. I should probably look in the feedback hub and report this is not already.
Hope this helps.
Edit: in case the start menu is already stuck, open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and restart the Windows Explorer.

Clickbait BS title aside, this was an interesting trailer of the hopefully upcoming in-depth video of the stuff that happens in there.
I got so mad when the video ended abruptly. It felt even shorter than a 2 min teaser of a movie. Also, I wouldn't mind a full fat 30 min or more video for the in-depth version.

So, you have to pay to have character animation in Main Menu? Are basic animations also considered DLC now? Boy, I am scared for the future of gaming industry if companies starting pulling this crap.
I can understand, emotes, holosprays, skins in MMO/BR/FPS games, but for a game this simple, atleast the animations should be included. Is this the first game ever to have such animations (talking about main menu animations) getting monetized?
Edit: Just saw that you also have to purchase the Premium Fun Pack to get harder difficulty levels? That is scummy as hell.
(solved)Lenovo Legion 5 pro - 5800H + 3060 gaming laptop temp limit

Posted
I had this happen on my Legion 5 Pro 2021 with RTX 3070 and I noticed that while this happened, the charging LED at the back would also start flickering, indicating a charger connectivity issue.
I went to my nearby Lenovo store, tried out a different charger with same wattage, played for 30 min and the issue did not happen.
Got the charger replaced under warranty and its been working fine since. I would suggest checking the charging LED while you game and see if it flickers at all, accompanied with the wattage/FPS drops.
Good luck.
