For that to work the port on the Asus laptop would have to support Thunderbolt, which isn't always the case with USB-C. Check if there's a lightning symbol next to the port or read the user manual to find out.

that feel when you think Cyber sec is watch dogs and hacking movies oof boy ur in for a huge surprise 

You should realize there are much more important things in life than gaming and league of legends. 

For someone who is claiming to want a PC for studying at university you seem to be more focused on gaming.
If it is actually for your studies, then it's completely reasonable for your father to want to see your exam results and whether or not you will be applying to the university course before spending a large amount of money on something for your studies.

If you've finished school then you're old enough to get a job and earn your own money, then you can save up and buy whatever you want.

For your usage it doesn't really matter but the sequential speed difference is there. 

If you're using it with system files, then I'd suggest the faster speeds, but if its just for storage or a nas, there's no point really unless they're the same price.

When I saw the tittle, I thought something else...

First question you need to answer, what do you enjoy working on and would want to specialize in?
 
Do you prefer networking or programming? Do you enjoy the freedom and expansiveness of cloud integration or do you prefer on-site hardware? Do you have a degree or certifications?
 
Lastly, what have you accomplished over the past 3 years at your current place of employment that would look good on a resume?

Getting a specalized role is a case of have knowledge and experience on the relevant topic, up and above what a 'generic' sys admin role, like yourself currently, is capable of doing. 
 
I.e., a sys admin can generally administer and maintain a VMWare enviroment. However, a 'Certified VMWare Engineer', will be paid a lot more than the sys admin because they know the ins and outs of esxi for instance, best practices, past experience of certain faults and configs etc. etc. etc. and are there to develop, not administer 
 
Pick what you enjoy and what you're interest in, look into certification, get as much experience in it as possible, then look for a role around that ?

Ya know, I've never noticed if someone has their phone's flashlight on. Couldn't really say if I'd tell someone if their phone's flashlight is on if I never see it or care to notice it.

A dying disk can certainly cause a system to freeze then crash. It is waiting for info that isn't coming, and eventually falls over. Run something like CrystalDiskInfo and see what your disk reports its status as. Even if it shows ok, look for warning signs like sector reallocation events, or pending sectors. Those are signs of bad areas on the disk.
 
What is the ticking sound? If it is occasional, and only during activity, that's normal and are the disk heads moving around to position. If your system stops responding and you hear a regular repeating noise, that could be the drive attempting to repeatedly access the data.

Chances are these are the videos they recorded during Linus's vacation. Besides.. never hurts to have variety in hosts to freshen things up every now and then. 

Two fingers and the thumb. Makes it easier to count down.  Next step is to fold the thumb, then the index finger.

Basically, are you a Nazi:
 
 
Or from Serbia.

I had a whole reply written out. But then I realised that OP is just a baby throwing his toys out of the pram  Not the be-all and end-all of tech knowledge? You write and host instead??BEGONE FROM THE LTT STAFF, HEATHEN!!!  

If you decide to stop watching, I'm sure the community will mourn your  passing. There'll be a candlelight vigil. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Why do you think NCIX went bankrupt, huh?
 
Checkmate, atheists.

Criticism is fine, but calm down on the personal insults. be level headed, not hot headed.

NO one is forcing you to watch them. DONT WATCH IF U DONT LIKE

this is not useful feed back 
 

Employees themselves often aren't even allowed to take components from the recycling bin, so keep that in mind if you ask for that stuff and they decline.

its unlikely they do but if they did they likely wont give it to you unless your buddy buddy with them or you pay for it. 

Chromebook "cheats". That is the reason.
 
GPU rendering interface. Windows is transitioning to this, but most programs are CPU rendered. This is not a limitation of Windows; this is developer chose. GPU rendered framework exists even from Microsoft, but things aren’t simple. A LOT of work needs to be done, and these newer frameworks might not YET fit the needs of some complex program’s requirements. And many programs choose to have its own look, and make its own in house GUI framework, which is CPU based as it is much easier to make, and has guaranteed support with all systems. Now if you wonder why interfaces where made in using the CPU since day1, well GPUs where, for a massive amount of years way to expensive let alone exists. Many computers only has a video output card of sorts, where the CPU would do all the work, and the card could accelerate some things, liek videos, but mostly was dumb and just outputing what it gets, especially on the typical computer grade computer. Heck, when Vista was released in 2006, if you didnt' have a gaming card, the interface could not be rendered by the basic GPU used on most systems, and if it could, it was very demanding for it. Of course, hardware quickly catched up, luckally, and by the time Win7 was out, I think everyone was and could use Aero, even on an Intel integrated graphics. 
  No legacy stuff to carry. ChromeOS doesn't have legacy systems for backward compatibility that it needs to carry with it. If Windows does this, the end of the world will ensue online, and people will reject the OS because their 90's program stop working. This is a big issue in Windows world, and to some extent MacOS. ChromeOS doesn't care. It doesn't need to load old driver models, translation layers for these legacy systems, old framework for programs, etc... so things are slim and light for ChromeOS. But run Android apps on it... and that experience will fall apart. Android apps are slow and jerky, things feel like... well... if you installed Windows on it, as now it needs to load that old legacy crap with it fro Android. And it is also a reason why this feature is only on some Chromebooks... Not all can run Android apps, you are just blocked. So yea, you could get a Core i5 or whatever ChromeBook, and now Android app will run great! But now you are spending just as much as a Windows system... might as well get Windows and you can do more, and have the same fast and responsive experience.
  We have lots of RAM. These days, RAM is cheap and in large quality. So, the more things are loaded in RAM, the faster things get. Many years ago, you were spending over $200 just to get some typical specs 64MB RAM module. Today, you can get some massive amount, and nice and fast ones too, and still have money aside, and that is not even considering inflation. The result is that the OS loads pretty much itself into RAM. So, you don't care about the slow HDD or eMMC the Chromebook might be using.  And there is nothing to compare with. In modern Windows, Microosft has to pull a balance act. The more RAM you have, the more it will load things into it. But it won't load itself completely because people will freak out on where their RAM went, and how WIndows is bloated.
  Select hardware support and embedded drivers. Chromebook doesn't run on anything and everything. Like Android, it is picky with its hardware. Windows runs on any of the billions of combinations of hardware possible. To show the flexibility of of Windows 10: People got it running on Raspberry Pi, Pixel Phone, Nintendo Switch, Lumia 950 (even setup a dual screen setup with 2 phones), OnePlus 6T and more, despite the complete lack of any drivers. ChromeOS... not so much. And ChromeOS, like Android, it's drivers are baked in into the OS. You can't just go to some web site, download driver updates and install it... you are stuck with the manufacture embedding the newer version of the drivers in the OS, and deliver that update to you as a firmware, or wait for Google to release its new version of the OS which contains newer version of drivers for the supported hardware baked in. Sadly, having what Windows offers means, layers, means complex and demanding system resources, and that translate to performance losses.

So, you pick. New game out, get the latest Nvidia/AMD drivers with specific game optimization and enjoy a great experience. Or, get a game, wait several months, and now you have the OS update to enjoy the game with the best experience.  
And lastly, ChromeOS, can't do much... it is a very basic, barebone OS. It might do what you need, and that is fine... that is the point of it. But asking to do what you can in Windows, or Linux based OS like Ubuntu, or even OSX, you just can't...  
In the end, there is no magic. If you extract a large ZIP file, it will be just as slow (more or less) than on Windows for the same hardware. Slow CPUs doesn't magically go faster. Any other CPU centric tasks will be limited by it. Same for GPUs.. you can't play AAA games at max setting (let alone any games beside mobile ones, and even then... good luck running Fortnight for example) under ChromOS with the mentioned specs. Same story if you installed Windows.

Your macbook has worse specs than the chromebook in every way. CPU frequency is just one parameter, by itself it means nothing and the core 2 in your macbook is over 13 years old. The dedicated GPU also doesn't mean much, it's still most likely slower than the iGPU in the chromebook. Your macbook also probably has a hard disk whereas your chromebook has a much faster ssd, which helps load things much faster.
 
On top of that, the OS is very light, which helps - but the main reason it's better than your macbook is that it has better hardware.
