Apparently, this flaw is " present in modern Intel processors produced in the past decade." So basically, every Intel CPU that is not obsolete, and a few obsolete ones too. Almost all laptops run Intel. 60-50% of desktops run intel. This means there are likely over two billion pc's at risk. (Edit: was using total number of pc's it 2011, corrected for 2017 metrics)
@LinusTech You should review quite a few gaming laptops. The gigabyte aero 15 and 15x seem like good blade competitors, complete with per key rgb and a numpad, not to mention the xps like screen. An aero 15 review is what I would like to see the most. it would be even better if you incorporated them in a 13-15 inch thin and light gaming laptop roundup for razer blade competitors with decent battery life and gtx 1060/1070. I think a lot of us would like to know which laptop is best for long periods of unplugged productivity but also intense gaming and video editing and CAD. I would personally include the following:
Asus ROG GL503VM
Acer Predator 15
Acer Predator Helios 300
Acer Aspire V Nitro Black Edition (Winner of the longest name for a laptop award)
Alienware 13
Alienware 15
aourus x3 v7
Lenovo Leigon y520
Lenovo Leigon y720 (ugly imo)
Hp omen 15t
HP omen 15
Gigabyte aero 14
Gigabyte aero 15
Gigabyte aero 15x
Gigabyte p55 (who names a laptop after a GUN)
Sager NP8156
Razer blade 14 (The OG)
Msi GS63VR
msi GS43VR
MSI GE63VR (not the same thing as the gS63vr)
msi gs62vr
msi pe62vr (basicaly a recolored gs62vr)
dell inspiron gaming gtx 1060
This does seem like a lot of laptops, but alot of them you have already reviewed, and the ones you have not are all quite similar to each other (literaly all the msi ones). I would suggest the following review categories
Preformance (benchmarks and thermals)
Build quality and durability
ease of transport
input devices (touch screen, trackpad, keyboard etc)
screen and audio
asthetics (some people dont want laptops that scream LEET GAMER)
I/O
upgradability
Bloatware (Norton, winzip, etc)
I would suggest having different price ranges for each of the winners. I think alot of people would greatly appreciate a solid comparison of these machines. Im personally searching for a CAD laptop that can also be used to type up essays and such. A video like this would be great in that it would still be classic LTT, but give viewers conclusive information. I know 24 laptops sounds like alot, but such a video would rake in TONS of views. Also, you can make two videos, one for the 15 inchers, and one for the 13-14 inchers. alternatively, you could split it again to make 4 videos, with the ones above or bellow 1500 usd or something like that. 24 laptops sounds like alot, but split it 4 ways and 6 laptops per video is not that bad. This would be a genuinely useful video for so many people. I heard in your stream that the LTT channel was not doing too well, and i think a video like this would help alot. Sure, this would be a long project for LMG, but i believe it will be worth it. Many people, including myself, would be overjoyed if a video like this were released.
