This isn't a product review suggestion, but it is a video-topic suggestion: for at least one or more rooms in their new house, Linus and Yvonne could do a crossover with The Sorry Girls. The reasons I'm suggesting Kelsey and Becky (TSG) for a crossover are:
they're interior designers, so they specialize in making content about this sort of thing; they're already YouTube famous (>2M subscribers), so there wouldn't be too much of a weird clout imbalance; and they're Canadian, so there's no international travel necessary for in-person collaboration, which might still be an issue due to the pandemic. I don't know if there's much of an audience overlap between Linus Tech Tips and The Sorry Girls (other than me, lol), but it could be cool seeing TSG do a room makeover for Linus and Yvonne and around the same time idk seeing LTT do a tech makeover for Kelsey or Becky.

I've been keeping a close eye on this and am really proud to be a part of this team despite just having a few cpu cores on a laptop to fold with. I have been blown away at the tech community's response to this crisis in general from manufacturers switching to medical supplies, people 3d printing face shields at home, and of course this epic folding at home drive. Today our computers aren't just about p@wning n00bs and max fps, they are about saving the world!
 

This video from Extreme Overclocking Forum shows weekly statistics (weekly amount of points earned) from beginning of 2019 until last week:
You can see us (LTT team) around 1:50 (we're dark blue).
Really shows the efforts the folding team here is doing!  And that's even with not everyone getting WU's!

If you have any of those hard drives left you could do a video building a server to donate to folding@home. I read on the ama on reddit that they are getting close to solving their server problems because of server donations and it might be the push that smooths things out for them.

Gaming laptops suit someone who has multiple places where they base themselves and move often. Such as someone who has multiple homes or is away from home somewhere more temporary for parts of the week or month.
 
This can be common for anyone in education or their first few years of work when they are yet to settle anywhere and may still frequent their parents house.
 
Gaming laptops do have a place and a purpose, for those who have the need they are a lifesaver when it comes to gaming.
 
There are probably some who should have just bought one or even two PCs instead but you will have to ask those people why.

I'd love to see a video answering the following question: If you were aiming for a minimum standard, for example 1080p 60fps max settings, over time is it more cost effective to buy a cheaper low end gpu and replace it every 2-3ish years or to buy a ballin one and keep it for 4-6ish years and for how long do you thing you could maintain that minimum standard without having to upgrade based on historical data. I hope that made sense.

this was answered on WAN show as
"buy a high end then sell it and buy the new high end every year. you get 90% or so back from the sale so you are only spending about 1 high end gpu every ten years over the coarse of 10 or so transactions one every year."
