  1. Not sure if there are enough "new" keyboards in this category, but maybe you guys could redo this 4 year old video? I recently got a Cherry stream ( https://www.cherryamericas.com/stream-keyboard?___store=cherry_us_en ) and I like typing on this better on this €30 keyboard than I did on a €160 mechanical keyboard. I've tried rgb backlit keyboards but to be honest, I'm not sitting in a completely dark room and I type blind, so I've rarely found it necessary.
  2. I'll try and update this thread later today, thanks for all the suggestions so far guys, keep it up.
  3. You have Techlinked to give us the news from this press conference, you have Mac Address making a video about it, and I wouldn't be surprised if you guys will get a new M3 macbook and review it later on as well. What's the value of this video? Looks like you jumped on the whole bandwagon of "apple made an event so we have to make a video now". Plus the useful part of the video is so short that it feels like I'm watching a back-blaze ad with a few useful points about an apple event instead of the other way around.
  4. Steve's says "LMG makes structural mistakes, probably because they are rushed. ". Linus rushing to respond in a post without double checking his stuff or just waiting to make an official response isn't really convincing me the man hasn't got a point.
  5. Ok Linus, You've shamed me and my 1080 into upgrading with that latest video. All your fault. Now after the CES' dust has settled, can you make a video about what videocard to buy for gaming?
  6. Couldn't remember the video that came before this so had to search the youtube channel with "I need help". Well Played @jakkuh_t ,well played.
  7. This is one annoying video to watch. The technical part of the review is of very high quality, and I appreciate that, the editing is weird. I watched this a few times to get some feedback for you guys, so I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that every frame where Linus is not in the picture has to be a panning shot or has to unnecessarily zoom in or out, no matter if there is something to read on the screen. I wouldn't be able to tell you the specifications or the IO without pausing the video. I appreciate the work Plouffe has done to find out the TV is TLC, but we didn't need to switch scenes for that, just let Linus tell it. Color accuracy chapter has referenced video footage but the usual title to know your watching an old video is missing. Gaming part has the same clip twice, why couldn't you show it once and give us all the info, instead of one with the input lag and the other with the method you used. Linus constantly switching between two camera's while he is talking annoys me, but at this point, I don't know if it's an actual deal-breaker or that I'm just too annoyed by the camera moving all over the place. Hope at least some of this feedback helps you guys. Thanks for reviewing a shitty TV
  8. Tinfoil hat theory: Too many manufacturers had worries about Linus dropping too much stuff, so the LMG writers had Linus catch multiple things here to comfort them that yes, Linus is good at dropping stuff, but he is also decent at catching things that are falling.
  9. Comments weren't as bad as I expected... The bashing on canadians could even be considered "fun". Sidenote, why is their a "mngr" and an "edit manager" in your credits ? This looks weird. Thought I'd mention it.
  10. Come on LTT, what is this for a half arsed review? -You can show apps side to side with a button press, and if that's not good enough for you, Mac users usually use the multiple virtual desktops thing windows also has. How do I k-now this? Googling for 2 mins. There is no excuse for you not to do that. - I'm not sure if you even tested workloads on this laptop. Saying anything about multitasking, the dual core or the battery life is almost meaningless if you can't compare it to something. - Show us more testing of for instance the sound, or overall startup time of apps compared to similar workloads on windows. - Don't overdo the B roll footage. Those are 2 beautiful women, and they are sure nice to look at, but in the end, we are here to judge the Macbook air. Unless they come with the package, then sign me up.
  11. I'm using discord at the moment, but that's more convenience then something else. No longer a really active user, we just use it with a few friends for fun. I have spent like 10 years on IRC + Teamspeak 2/3 and it's only because that community no longer exist that I use discord now: It makes no sense to use 2 different programs to just share a few things with friends and talk to them. If you can setup a default minecraft server, you can setup a teamspeak server: it's really not that hard. I wish you checked the delay on the voice servers: I wonder how much they differ from each other.
  12. Why? It has a gold plated pci lane (who cares) and an intel instead of a realtek wireless controller, and a usb type c port, which we barely use nowadays, and in a few years i'd rather just buy a PCI card for that. . I don't see the added €20 value in that if it has less pci expendability and a few less ports , although that last one I dont really care about.
  13. Sorry for mistaking someone's his parts for yours Try and configure this one with a 7700k and a gtx 1080ti. https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/configurator/overclocked-custom-gaming-pc-uk-3xs-custom-1151 Make sure to choose a "Z" series motherboard or you can't overclock it. the 850 power supply seems to be the only option for when you would decide in the future to have gtx 1080 ti in sli (two cards), since you will get a 655W from a quick calculation I did over on seasonic power supply calculator. That way, if you have £ 3400.- to spare, you could even go for 1080ti in sli. (or save yourself the £700 and keep one 1080ti for now). That is how much money you save for not going with a 7820X.
  14. First off, we have a different subforum for this kind of stuff: https://linustechtips.com/main/forum/18-new-builds-and-planning/ Secondly, you either have an expensive taste or a lot of money ((For my comments I use the price in euros) Could you tell us what you plan to do with it? Only gaming on 4k? Or also video editing, or running virtual machines? - That motherboard is a bit overkill. X299 motherboards start at around €215 here and yours is €350. Look at the features and decide what you want. - Do you need that X299 processor ? For Gaming a 7700k is around €300 cheaper and offers the same gaming experience. If you are only gaming, why would you need more cores and threads, while the majority of games depends on a single core? Look at their own website :https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/info/intel-processors-for-dream-pcs and notice there is no gaming difference between a Core I7 and a Core X. - I see that build in your signature. Do you have any parts that you can transfer from that? Taking the ssd and Hard drive with you saves you another €200, not to mention the gtx 1080ti - Why do you have a sound card in that build? Sound cards don't offer all that much nowadays, because the integrated sound on the motherboard is decent, especially with your ROG one. I'd suggest first trying to game without it.
  15. with a 1070 €1580.- with a 1080 €1640.- That is both with the gigabyte windforce edition, because that seems to be around the cheapest of the better brands.
