Linus gives a tour of how the future site of the Badminton Center will be able to transform into a space for LTT Whale LANs. Will anyone but him attend BOTH?

Motherboards with all the connectors on the back- and cases that support them. They're coming, despite a ton of challenges that I honestly didn't think the industry would overcome. Corsair, Maingear, Gigabyte, ASUS- they're all in the game, and the results are pretty cool.

AI was this year's buzzword at CES 2024 so I'm trying out some of the weirdest "ai" products: a monitor, a mouse, a bike, a...girlfriend. Sorry, Yvonne

Intel showered us the goods on probably the single thing I'm most excited about from CES 2024, and it's...Thunderbolt? Seriously, this is so cool. Not only that, but Wi-Fi 7 seems like it will actually be an increase that actually matters to regular people- as well as niche corner-case weridos like me lol

I won't be the only one in North America with the 115" TCL TV for long, but even worse than that is that HiSense has made a 110" TV that has double the brightness, and double the dimming zones. On the bright side maybe these means we get to have more videos?

AMD is announcing some very cool chips at CES 2024, including the 5700X3D from AM-fricken-4, and a new line of 8000-series processors. Oh, and don't forget about the new GPUs like the 7600XT!

Check out Wicked Cushions at Amazon: https://lmg.gg/WickedCushionsAmazon or their website: https://wickedcushions.com/LTT I smuggled my ROG Ally into the MSI booth to compare it to their brand new handheld gaming PC, The Claw.

I bought the TCL X11G Max, the biggest single-piece TV on the market at 115”. Actually, it’s not really on the market as it’s China-only but I somehow got it here and three people mounted it on my wall. But now that it’s set up, is it any good? Does it REALLY have over 20,000 local dimming zones? Are giant TVs going to destroy the market for projectors??

AMD is finally releasing new Threadripper CPUs, and they are absolutely bonkers. Should you buy one? If you have to ask the price, then no, but it’s a wild ride and worth watching anyway.

At their Scary Fast event, apple announced not one but THREE new chips: the M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max! They're fast, but what's scary? 8GB of RAM in the new base tier Macbook Pro!

Before Blu-ray and Streaming, DVDs, and even CDs, one gigantic platter not only ruled over home cinema, but helped create the entire concept: LaserDisc. But what happened with LaserDisc? Why was it so infrequently used in its time?

Windows may have changed a lot over time, but old-school Mac OS was a COMPLETELY different beast to modern-day macOS. Can our youthful subjects figure out how to do anything with a system older than they are?

The Intel G6951 is a CPU that has features behind a paywall...but you can no longer buy them. Linus shares his opinions on the matter!

As Nvidia fills out its 40 series product stack, we’ve noticed one clear trend. DLSS and Frame-Gen are IN, and decent value, is out. This was apparent on the RTX 4060 Ti, and the RTX 4070. But does the song remain the same on the $299 RTX 4060? And will it be able to compete with AMD’s budget offerings of the RX 7600 and RX 6700XT? Will Intel Arc GPUs show up finally? Got to watch our latest LTT Labs-backed GPU review.

The time has come for me to step down as CEO of Linus Media Group (and everything else under the umbrella). Let me tell you what that looks like: what's changing, what's not, and who is taking my place...
