  1. Apple claims the Mac Studio with M1 Ultra is the most powerful computer you can buy for $4,000. Does that put AMD, Intel, and Nvidia on notice – Or is Apple making claims they can’t back up? Buy an Apple Mac Studio M1 Max: https://geni.us/c9DL Buy an Apple Mac Studio M1 Ultra: https://geni.us/DFJvaa Buy an Apple Studio Display: https://geni.us/3ho7o Buy an Apple Magic Keyboard: https://geni.us/8ezY Buy an Apple Magic Mouse: https://geni.us/h04VhmR Buy an Apple MacBook Pro 14” M1 Pro: https://geni.us/S8vIu Buy an Intel Core i9-12900K: https://geni.us/516f8Q Buy a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090: https://geni.us/eZkB
  2. Apple broke tradition and announced hardware at WWDC. M2 Macs are on the way with bigger GPUs and tighter integration with macOS, iOS, and iPadOS - The PC world may need to rethink its priorities.
  3. AMD’s on a roll, and while Intel has successfully fired back, there’s more on the way. With competition alive and well in the CPU space, it’s time for a PC gaming renaissance not seen since the 2000s.
  4. RDNA2 brought Radeon GPUs back to mainstream gamers, but AMD’s newest graphics card has the same silicon they’re already selling – Can it REALLY compete at the high end with Nvidia’s RTX 3090 Ti? Buy an AMD Radeon 6950 XT: Coming Soon Buy an AMD Radeon 6900 XT: https://geni.us/fIsU11Q Buy a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Ti: https://geni.us/e1MG Buy a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090: https://geni.us/gIk3i9 Buy a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti: https://geni.us/86XZA Buy an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X: https://geni.us/D5uvC1 Buy an ASUS Crosshair VIII Hero Wi-Fi: https://geni.us/W4V38sg
  5. Intel got out ahead of AMD’s newest Ryzen CPU launch with the Core i9-12900KS – Was it enough to take the fight out of AMD’s 3D V-Cache Ryzen 7 5800X3D, or is it still the world’s fastest gaming CPU?
  6. Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3090 was the most expensive consumer GPU ever made, but we thought it was a Titan. Now, the RTX 3090 Ti is here, with a price tag half again as big. Is Nvidia wrong, or were we?
  7. DirectStorage, which lets your GPU access your SSD directly, has promised to make games better for years now. While it’s been on Xbox Series X since launch (and PS5 has its own version), now we’re finally getting it for PC. Why was it worth the wait? Buy an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X: https://geni.us/nMA6el Buy an ASUS Crosshair VIII Hero Wi-Fi: https://geni.us/B13k Buy a GeForce RTX 3060: https://geni.us/WQMAcA
  8. AMD announced the Radeon Pro SSG in 2016 combining a GPU and onboard SSD - But when it launched in 2017, practically nobody bought it. Was it simply ahead of its time, or was it truly a dud? Check out the Radeon™ Pro SSG: https://geni.us/yQ43dMY Buy some LTT Store Dot Com Cable Ties: https://www.lttstore.com/products/cable-ties Buy an Intel Core i9-12900K: https://geni.us/hrzU Buy an ASUS TUF Z690-PLUS WIFI D4: https://geni.us/mgWYr2 Buy a Noctua NH-D15: https://geni.us/vnuvpW Buy a Corsair Force MP600: https://geni.us/TkxIgO
  9. Valve’s Steam Deck famously runs the Linux-based SteamOS, but now that Windows drivers are out, it’s not the only game in town anymore. Is Microsoft’s OS the better pick, or should you stick to SteamOS? Valve's instructions and drivers: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6121-ECCD-D643-BAA8
  10. Threadripper upended the HEDT market when it released, but now it seems the more expensive Threadripper PRO is here to take over. Is AMD making a mistake, or is enthusiast HEDT simply obsolete?
  11. Apple’s Peek Performance event is over, and now that M1 Ultra is out of the bag, we now know that Macs are getting the chiplet treatment. What does it mean for PCs? And what about the Studio Display?
  12. In all my travel experience, "TSA approved" bags almost always still need to have large electronics removed anyway, so there's really no reason to bother unless you like being able to open your bag that way (which is valid).
  13. The dollar store has a lot more tech than you might think, but how much of it is actually worth buying there, and how much is just cheap trash? Buy Cable Zip Ties: https://geni.us/PziG Buy Duracell Alkaline Batteries: https://geni.us/fOP9zJ Buy Clear Organizer Boxes: https://geni.us/bX8X
  14. Nvidia’s new “budget” GPU is finally here, promising more performance than ever at a price point higher than ever. Is this our new normal, or should gamers have hope for the future? Buy RTX 3060 Amazon: https://geni.us/Rv8F7PH Best Buy: https://geni.us/Cx0T3 Newegg: https://geni.us/LI1cM Buy GTX 1660 Super Amazon: https://geni.us/cp2u Best Buy: https://geni.us/QEbnck Newegg: https://geni.us/quQq7 Buy GTX 1660Ti Amazon: https://geni.us/LE9knX Best Buy: https://geni.us/5EMY Newegg: https://geni.us/dhg7J Buy RX 6500XT Amazon: https://geni.us/9BgNn Best Buy: https://geni.us/fLc6 Newegg: https://geni.us/OnzU Buy RX 6600XT Amazon: https://geni.us/yESO Best Buy: https://geni.us/vNmdbO Newegg: https://geni.us/qakc7g4
  15. GPUs are impossible to buy, but AMD, Nvidia, and soon Intel are all releasing new cards. The Radeon RX 6500 XT is the first new card of 2022, on TSMC’s 6nm process. But is it TOO affordable? Buy an AMD Radeon GPU Amazon: https://geni.us/BYWFs Best Buy: https://geni.us/pBUxo Newegg: https://geni.us/h7ewftY Buy Radeon RX 6600 Amazon: https://geni.us/KFHcodo Best Buy: https://geni.us/cIJSA Newegg: https://geni.us/zuQeT Buy GTX 1660 Amazon: https://geni.us/Dwqofbv Newegg: https://geni.us/gkGjC B&H: https://geni.us/QFBA
  16. HP promised to shake up the PC industry with an innovative new CPU cooler design, and I was this close to declaring it the new gaming performance king of prebuilts...

  17. The Desk PC 2.0 has a problem, and Linus is about to go for vacation. Is Anthony a bad enough dude to diagnose and repair his workstation before he comes back?

  18. Intel’s CES announcements weren’t just about the new Arc GPU, but it may just be the most exciting one thanks to its unique opportunity to shake up Nvidia and AMD’s hold on the market.
  19. AMD’s Ryzen CPUs had some good times while Intel fell behind, but now that competition is back, how will they respond? Can Radeon GPUs keep up with Nvidia? And can you even buy any of it? Buy an AMD GPU On Amazon: https://geni.us/e5wEbqb On Best Buy: https://geni.us/fxXpy On Newegg: https://geni.us/qKZOEB
  20. With 12th-gen Core, DDR5 is finally here - But scalpers are already doing what they do best. With RAM now on the scalp list, how is a normal person supposed to upgrade? Should they?

  21. The GPU shortage has hit gamers hard, but Nvidia has an unorthodox solution: Re-release old GPUs. It’s SO crazy that it might actually work… MIGHT.
  22. Steam Deck has been making waves, but now that it’s delayed, could the Android-powered GPD XP be the best gaming handheld to hold you over through the holidays?
  23. Apple Silicon took the world by storm with M1, but now we’ve got the next generation: M1 Pro. The 14 inch MacBook Pro is the next major redesign and Apple has gone all-out to make sure it impresses… Mostly.

  24. Now that Linus' home is sort of smart, it's time to bring in the network rack to house the brains of the operation: Routers, switches, NVRs, UPSes, the whole nine yards! Why is it pink?

  25. Windows 11 has a reputation for making a lot of changes that makes life more difficult for Windows 10 users. But there has always been a community effort to make tools that ruin Microsoft’s vision… StartAllBack - https://startallback.com/ Start11 - https://www.stardock.com/products/start11/ Live Tiles Anywhere - https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows11/comments/q18ipe/live_tiles_anywhere_create_custom_live_tiles_for/ RoundedTB - https://github.com/torchgm/RoundedTB Win11DisableOrRestoreRoundedCorners - https://github.com/valinet/Win11DisableRoundedCorners (RIP) EdgeDeflector - https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/edgedeflector-default-browser.html EdgeDeflector alternative: MSEdgeRedirect - https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect AltDrag - https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/ Sizer - http://www.brianapps.net/sizer4/ Twinkle Tray - https://twinkletray.com/ PowerToys - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/ Winaero Tweaker (registry hacks) - https://winaero.com/winaero-tweaker/ Buy ASUS ROG Swift PG27UQ Monitor On Amazon (PAID LINK): http://geni.us/d6mJ On Newegg (PAID LINK): http://geni.us/y2Zg
