 Your personal cloud device.

I found that this device seema cool. You can stream music, and share all your files with friends and storage is not an issue.

At least they claim it to be great.

I would love to see a comparison of the 2019 prosumer ultrabooks. I know Linus uses a Razer Blade Stealth as his daily driver so I imagine this is a topic where he could offer a great comparison for. The current competition that I know of would be, the Blade Stealth, Dell XPS 13, HP Spectre 13, Lenovo Thinkpad X1 & Macbook pro.

 

I know it is a hell of a list, but I think they would be great to compare, all come with fairly high end intel low power chips (plus the Blades discrete GPU), thunderbolt 3 & CNC machined Aluminium chassis (with the exception of the Lenovo with a Carbon fibre design).

 

No current large comparisons exist on the market for many of these laptops, It would also be great to see an LTT performance comparison when hooked up to eGPU via thunderbolt for video editing, CAD and even gaming workloads. Particularly with the 2019 Blades price bump I also wonder if one of the compared systems could unseat it as Linus' daily drive machine.

Odd place for my first post, but I'd like to see something kind of specific.

 

Indie game development. Specifically what's going to get you the most for the money in engines like Unreal, Unity and Cryengine. 

 

Granted this would be kind of involved since there isn't any real consistent methodology (except maybe making a level of a specific size and rendering shaders and lighting etc.) 

 

Why? Because the engine uses mutli and single cores for various tasks, so overall what's going to be the breadwinner. 

Intel with it's superior single and quad core performance, ryzen with it's superior cost, threadripper with it's high core counts and value (especially the 19xx tr series, and support for 29xx and presumably 3rd gen TR with a bios update)

 

Ram? Is 16gb enough (I know the answer already, yes but must be managed properly) or should 32 be the minimum. Any significant benefit to 64gb or more?

 

Vram? 4gb? 8gb? 11gb? RTX Titan???? Gaming cards do really well in the 3 engines I mentioned. Is a Quadro worth it?

 

I'm currently working on a project with an i5 7400, 16gb of DDR4 2666, and a GTX 1070 SC. I have also worked with a Microsoft Surface Pro for the same and was doable (albeit not fast and at the poorest graphics quality) so I know you don't need a beast computer to make it work, but what's the sweet spot?

Considering how much you love the LG Gram. This seems worth your time @LinusTech

Can you guys make the most ridiculous, idiotic, mess or weird parts as you can find? I know these parts aren't all compatible, but you did have a SODIMM to DIMM converter you showed off this year, the 4th gen HQ i7 BGA -> LGA converted processor, the SD card SSD, and several other weird or "off" products. 

I would love to see just how weird the PC can get and how well it performs. Just kinda enforce why we buy nice parts.

In Preparing for 10 GIGABIT Internet! What Could Go Wrong? video at 10:50 I saw Acer monitor package. Is it KG251QD monitor? If yes, could you please make a review? Because there are none. I have it but I don't know how to do a monitor review.

[Nebster25]

It would be cool if you could make a video about the Huawei Matebook D with an ryzen 5 amd vega 8 graphics.

[Luuk17]

Yo linus do a video about what's "inside your bag ces 2018" it's so clickbait right now and kind fine like the one you already done in the last years

[daimonie]

I'd be interested in seeing a waterblock review or comparison  

[duff.bryson22]

For an episode Linus should build a pc out of a huge tv cabinet using multiple motherboards and the nicest monitor or monitors.

Do a comparison of drawing tablets
(IE 50 dollar VS 100 VS Enthusiast screen built in)

 

Versus

Tablets

iPad mini VS Surface etc.

 

See how the computing experience differs. IE "Can I use just a pen if I so desire and never ever type on the keyboard? For daily tasks? Which is the best?"

"How is the drawing experience? Is a 50 dollar tablet on a cheap computer better than using a stylus for an iPad or is an iPad better than an enthusiast drawing tablet on an extreme desktop workstation?"

 

EDIT:

Comes from my small hobby desire to create digital art. I bought a H950P from Huion & found out with no manual driver installation, I can do quite a lot on it.

Yes and then tear down each one, and put it back together and see if it will run.

For a video, it would be cool if you would try to make your own laptop in a sence, buy a Chassis for a laptop, custom cool it with watercooling and somehow cram a small mobo with a gpu that you can mount with a ryzer and mount the fans either down or somehow make it so you cram everything along the display so you have open air. Like it was in msi's laptop i believe.

[nonesuchman]

Can you review the System76 Thelio Desktop?

[Silentprototipe]

Not sure if mentioned already but Ryzen mobile would be pretty cool! Mainly because I own one

Review this sweet tablet with 8 cores, at 1.7GHZ 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage for only 80$. Thats one hell of a heavy price per performance spec aint it? https://amzn.to/2S3CHZ8

 (Theres loads of these kind of "Too good to be true" tablets as i like to call them, just search on amazon and within 2 minutes you will probably find at least 1)

Hi, I will like to see a review or a custom made "Air purification PC case". 
The idea is that people with allergies or asthma are using air purification systems to clean the room from any dust or pollen particles in the air. These systems are expensive and basically is a big fan pushing the air thru a series of filters. My pc is running almost 16hours per day will be nice to "purify" my room also. I search online and I found out that Silverstone have made a case like this and I was thinking if you can put it to the test or make your own "Linus style" custom project.

I think you should do a Gaming FPS comparison on a system loaded with stuff like a normal gaming computer. Probably no need to run the complete gamut of Intel/AMD products, just some that make sense for the price category for the RGB stuff.

 

NZXT lighting + corsair iCue, maybe itunes or amazon music bootstrapper (and other background processes that run on most peoples systems all the time.) People don't generally start off with a clean system so that might produce a more real world result. (Specifically I am wondering if it doesn't show how important 4+ cores are in today's gaming world).

There are guides online one how to make your own ModBook Pro [http://www.modbook.com], so it would be pretty cool to see Anthony give it a go.

 

Its essentially flipping the screen around and putting in a capacitive digitiser (Which you can get from eBay or Aliexpress (Theres a merchant that sells custom digitisers)). 

- Get screen out

- Flip around + cut panel with a Dremel

- Insert screen + digitiser

- With the keyboard, it's actually (at least on older MacBooks) attached via a custom USB controller, which has additional pins for the power button, so because you don't need the keyboard, you can use that controller, and retain all the ports you need. You can find the pinout online for that. 

 

I think it would be really cool.

Thermal Grizzly Carbonaut. You did video of some graphite pads couple years back, would be great continuation.

USED PHONES - Best Bang For your Buck! 

or Best Phones for Long Term Users

 

I would love to see a breakdown on what phones are worth the money for people that buy phones they keep for multiple years or for those upgrading with used phones.

 

- you could compare price ranges vs what you get (for example I just bought a 6-month-old Galaxy S9+ for the same price I could have bought a four-year-old Iphone 7+)

- comparison of battery conditions you're getting on the used/refurbished phones you buy

- known issues / or problems that are common with certain phones when they get old (for example, Galaxy S5 ram turned to junk after a year of use) 

- quality of long term software support for products

 

Hope to see my suggestion show up on LTT, I think a whole lot of people would get some use out of this one 

Congrats on 8 million subs.
