They seriously need to stop calling everything predator 

NOW, I wonder how bad it must Throttle in a form factor like that.

i guess it comes down to there being better platforms for high speed SSDs (m.2, pcie, etc.) and the connector just being a hack job in all honestly making it a less popular platform for hardware manufacturers to choose.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BRINGING US TO 3 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE!!
 
Y'all are bae. That's why we've partnered up with Razer to give away one NEW Razer Blade 14, and one NEW Razer Blade Stealth (full specs listed in the announcement video), with a custom graphic designed by our very own Edzel Yago  .

2. Winners will have 72 hours to respond. If a winner does not respond within that time, a new winner will be drawn.
 
3. This is a worldwide giveaway with no age restrictions. Shipping costs will be covered by the shipper, but any duties/taxes/other fees upon delivery will be the sole responsibility of the winner.

EDIT:
 
Alright, we have selected our winners!!!
 
@Plavi and @willp3, you have 72 hours to respond to the DMs I am sending you right now. If we do not receive a reply in that time, new winners will be chosen! Since both said that the Blade would be their choice, it's on a "first replied first served" basis. (for clarity - what this means is that the first winner to reply will get their choice between the two laptops, and the second winner to reply will get the laptop that the first winner did not choose. This does not mean that we're only giving away one laptop...)
 
Thanks everyone.
 
 
EDIT2:
 
Alright, so @Plavi has officially claimed the New Blade! Congrats on winning

But, unfortunately for @willp3, he did not respond in time to claim his prize...

Our new Blade Stealth winner is @ted542! Check your inbox, you have 72 hours to reply
 
 
EDIT3:
 
Both laptops have now been claimed. Thanks for participating in this awesome giveaway, and please be sure to keep an eye out for giveaways in the future!
 
 
Please don't report posts in this topic - all duplicates will be handled before drawing, so if you have double posted, don't worry about it.

mrchow19910319 mentions very good points that I noticed as well. you should keep them in mind while watching the video. but I do love how they didn't just say "Generic competitor mouse" for these tests, they used the real names. I love knowing this kind of information. 
I would've loved comparing to a lot more mice, but luke probably only had so much time to spend there, and this is a sponsored video after all.
if anyone else with logitech's equipment wants to make a video comparing a ton of different mice (absolutely wishful thinking here), I'd love that so much

I think that the comparisons they could not be taken too seriously...
 
Hear me out before you disagree with me, I do have some doubts after watching it.
 
In the vid, they did not even use the same mice every time, I mean why keep changing the competitors?? 
        There were 3 sets of tests, and the competitors are: 
        1:  mamba & ouroboros & sensei wireless
        2:  deathadder chroma & mamba
        3:  rival 300 & deathadder chroma 
First of all, why change the competitor?? Why not let all the 5 other mouses showed up in the 3 tests?? Then give us a result, a chart or sth. 
 
Second of all, at the 1st test, when mamba came out, Luke MANUALLY started the interference. When the g900 came out, he did not do that. The result that showed on the screen could be one that already been reset already. The G900 did perform better in the 1st test , but the whole thing felt rigged. Looks like logitech hand picked some of the tests then only showed you the one that G900 can win. 
 
I know that this vid is sponsored by Logitech, and I admit that in all 3 tests the G900 wins hands down, there is no doubt. (I didn't know the sensei was that bad though) , but does it really matter?? As Luke in the vid said some of the tests are simulating some extreme circumstances that can only happen in a lab. It does show us that the G900 is more accurate than its rivals, but when it comes to practical uses how much does it matter? What I mean is that I am not gonna use it in the lab and connect it to the testing machine and looking at the result and feel good about it. Maybe I am too harsh on this vid... I don't know... What do you guys think??

I'll probably get them then. thanks guys

Looks good to me Those are really worst case scenario temps, in real-world heavy use your temps probably won't even break 70C but if that's as good as you can get it then keep it
 
PS: I would suggest running a CPU stress test for about 24 Hours just to make sure everything is rock solid

Our review of the AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable Lite is here. We love the AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable - did they take too much away from the Lite, or is it the same fantastic product in a more affordable package?
 

i asked my parents for money and they gave it to me

I bought an alienware (years ago when I was 14 ish and was enthralled with the ideas of LED`s), literally the worst purchase as i now cant bring myself to use it in public, also price to performance was horrid =/. Well atleast i have my tower...sigh

Bought 2 Hydrocopper Titans? :L

Windows 8 isn't a bad os itself it's just the ui that is widely hated across the technology universe. It does offer some great performance advantages over 7 once you get rid of the whole metro thing.
