Actually now that I think about it, I haven't. I personally don't even use reviews to tell me what to buy, I just go off of what I know and what I think of it in person (if I'm at a store).

Not directly from the reviews but from the ads I did sign up for Ting mobile service.

Yes and no. LTT has essentially educated me on what to look for and how to determine what suits me. I'm sure ive bought some products they have reviewed, but i couldn't tell you off the top of my head what they are, because i chose my hardware based on tech knowledge gained from Linus/Jay/Kyle/Paul reviews and careful consideration of what i need.

I search for information from a wide variety of sources, but LTT forums and review videos have informed me in ways that have contributed towards some hardware purchases, including a Noctua NH-D15, and an EVGA GTX 1070. I think those are pretty much the only major PC hardware items I've purchased in the last two or more years. I am thinking about a 1440p / 144hz monitor later this year, though, and that's largely from being informed through this forum.

I actually have not. but LTT videos have made me more capable of doing better choices when it comes to computer parts.

I bougt my gtx 970 g1 gaming, my m65 rgb and my STRAFE rgb based on Linus's and Slick's reviews. I was going to buy a M45 like Linus, but the M65 rgb (the one with the ugly logo) was just $5 more than the M45, so I got that instead. I was also going to buy the regular STRAFE, but it was very expensive at my local store, so I orderes the RGB version from Amazon. 

My current G1 1070 I owe to Jayztwocents' review.

I know i did, i'm typing this on my Inspiron 7559, although i was already think about getting it, Linus pushed me over the edge, and i picked up the core i7 model, and i'm putting extra ram and an SSD in as well. Did any LTT reviews ever make you buy a product?

Yeah, this laptop is only a good deal in the U.S.A. In Canada, it cost $300 CAD more than the competing Asus GL552 or MSI GE62. So it was a no-go for me. I don't think you can go wrong with either of these laptops.

Some of those rubber port covers to keep dust out, and a magnetic parts tray.

That tray was a lifesaver when I built my desktop. Seriously.

I won't know you're talking to me unless you reply/quote me.

No. I watch LTT's videos to be entertained, but if I want actual buying advice I always find myself going elsewhere.

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

As much as I dislike the 'ads' in their videos, I know it helps pay bills and keeps them in cool tech gear.

 

I signed up to Lootcrate after seeing an ad in their video with their promo code. I both like the idea of getting geek toys every month, and it's always good to support stuff you enjoy.

I'm sure he did a review of the Asus Z97-A. And his old reviews of the 7950. 

1 Terrabyte of ram... WHAT?
