I'd like to see more reviews on dedicated mobile workstations - laptops with workstation grade hardware like Quadros and Xeons for example. 

 

Example products:

Lenovo P1

Dell Precision 5530

HP ZBook 15 G5

 

All these are pretty similarly specced laptops. The Lenovo P1 is using the same chassis as the X1 Carbon Extreme which has been reviewed before. So rather than doing individual reviews to differentiate from that, a roundup video comparing the laptops with a focus on workloads that utilize the hardware. I would like to see a focus on things like which laptop has the best thermal management solution.

unraid series

  • low end build
  • ebay retired server components compared and benchmarked - even prebuilt vs custom (R710, Norco 2442, Supermicro CSE-846 / 847 etc)
  • Whonnock configuration - more than 30 drives / dangers of the cache pool and mitigating risk of failure
  • buy a bunch of SUN 3TB SAS drives from ebay and stress them (they are $30/each) - high temp / high vibration and compare against a new shucked 4TB WD and a new WD green to see what dies first
  • what backplane / SAS expander / HBA is the best price to performance

pfSense Series

  • vlans - why, how, and examples
  • hardware compare / capabilities / benchmarks
  • ancient laptop resurrection
  • redundancy / failover setup
  • plugin performance hits / specs for 10gb

and maybe a new channel / series:

  • Anthony's Hackintosh / Linux - builds / tips / reviews / etc.
  • n00b to network engineer (start with the basics, grow through to high level networking techniques)
  • Premiere tips and tricks

A video of linus using Mac os in 2019, like a follow up episode/series to the ' iMac 5K Retina 27" Display Overview - iSwitched Part 1 '

It would be interesting to see how far Mac os has improved since 2014 when he filmed the original series.

Some new features for example

Dark mode , desktop stacks , new quick actions , metal 2.0 ,advanced screenshots , new file system APFS , changed gallery view , optimization of storage ( helpful on smaller ssd's )

Would be interesting to see how far Mac os is progressing.

I haven't seen Linus do anything with the Intel NUCs.  We've seen how he likes to build small game console like units, just wondering how a NUC8i7HVK would stack up as a gaming PC, or even as a workstation, price wise to say the home grown LTT builds.  Does NUC have any competitors?

huh thats cool, couldent u build a "server" like that really cheap?

I can and have. I just want a review for many number of reasons. So I can better determine a recommendation to some others that have asked me about it and dont want to take the time and effort of maintaining their own email server.
