Is this the nightfall black or slate blue color?
Hey guys, im a stem student so i want a laptop to last me for a while, i do light gaming like moddrd minecraft and rocket league. I want a laptop that wont be super loud to disturb other students. Any recommendations?
Hello there, I was planning on gettting a MacBook Air M3 but as I am starting Mechanical engineering this year I heard that some apps aren’t able to be used with a Mac so I wanted to ask what can ı get in windows, I liked the Huawei mate 14s model but would it be enough for mechanical engineering education? Thanks
would you choose the zephyrus or the yoga pro?
What about the Surface Pro 11?
As I travel 3-4 weeks a month for work — I find any PC Laptop – I’ve had Dell, HP, Lenovo, and they last about 3 years then I have to replace it. This is due simply to the wear and tear of travel. So while I could afford a $1500 laptop, it just makes sense to me to spend $750 and get a new one every 3 years as no matter what – travel can get rough. I do recommend ONLY get metal chassis laptops as the plastic ones just don’t hold up. My 2 cents. 🙂
What are your thoughts on the surface studio laptops?
Why don’t you give away some of the laptops to your followers?
I really need to buy a laptop I am from a third world country i have a huge currency disparity. But what can I buy for business use. I need a no nonsense laptop with portability and good screen
Crazy how we look at things in a vacuum. Dell XPS is the best for Windows users focused on the combination of productivity, customer service, build quality, content creation, streaming, light gaming, data analytics, oled screen, luxury, etc. I don’t understand why its slept on, but hey to each is own…
Hi Josh! Love the descriptive and detailed content! I’ve been stuck bw buying a MBpro and Proart for weeks now. Was wondering if youve done a proart review thus far!
thank you! Love your work
Razer seems conspicuously absent
What is a good laptop under 2000$ with a good OLED display I am searching for one with a mid range gpu and cpu with it
What about 2 in 1 Laptops Josh?
Missing the surface😂😂😂
Hey , can we see a review for any of the Huawei line up
the pavilion plus is now $400 off! wow.. but then if you look at the price its $20 more than what you show here… So they just jacked up the price to put a bigger discount amount on it.. shame on HP
Just got an m16 r2 for $1450 (before tax).
Best deal ever
"budget" "less than 800 dollars"??
Order Number
I would put the new Samsung – Galaxy Book5 Pro 360 – Copilot+ PC – 16" AMOLED Touch Screen Laptop – Intel Core Ultra 7 series 2 on top of most here (when it comes to 16" screen). Battery alone is very impressive (in Macbook pro 16 territory)
I’m being ambitious again about things I can’t afford😭.
hello – thanks for the videos. i would like to get a 2in1 windows ideally, in the $800 – $1400 ish range ideally. however fan noise drives me crazy. i have been using a M1 MBA 8gb/256ssd for a while now. i do love that the MBAs have zero fan noise. considering the 15.6" M3 MBA for $1100 from BestBuy. but, i do like WindowsOS a bit better, and i really would like a 2in1. plus running some games would be nice (just a couple older ones). so i’m kind of torn between the M3 MBA, the HP Spectre, and some Lenovo Yoga options. I’m curious if you (or anyone reading this!) have any advice and in particular what if any windows 2in1 laptops have the least (or zero) fan noise?
Any light laptop with
i9
8 G Gpu
64 g ram
23hr battery life
I’ve been a loyal Apple user for years, but recently have been testing out some Window’s laptops. I’ve tried three different brands, and when using my bluetooth headphones there is serious lag and sync issues when watching Youtube, or any of the streaming platforms. Is this a common Windows problem and can it be fixed?
Can you list good 2 in 1 touch screen laptops under 2,000 usd? Can you also provide list of laptops that can also be used as tablet in that price range? Thank you.
Asus best.
can i get one laptop :))
366 nits is dim? Calibrated displays run SDR at 100 nits. This is plenty unless you plan to display a lot of HDR.
Got a yoga pro 9 with i9 13th gen, 64gb ram, 1tb, 3070.
Best option for work so far. Recommend it.
But dont buy with intel cpu, they drain battery like x2 quicker than ryzen. For me that’s not a problem as my setup is used only at home, but still.

Help me! I have been watching too many videos and still don’t have clarity on what I might want to get. I currently have an XPS 15 from 2021 for video editing. It’s been awesome and still performs great. I have had to replace 2 batteries and the trackpad doesn’t really click after anymore after 1 year, even after a new keyboard as well. I don’t like the 2024 iterations of the XPS since they took many ports and FKeys away. What is a comparable windows laptop? I’d like to keep it $2000 or less if possible. (editing 4k video)
Josh new subscriber here just want to ask I am looking for a laptop for Graphic Designing and Video editing would you suggest getting the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i?
I need help deciding between the zephyrus g16 and legion 7i 😭. I’ll be building a gaming PC, so I’ll only need the laptop for editing documents and light gaming on the go. Can you guys please help me😫
excellent concise informative video, thank you, yoga pro 9 or g14? tough choice
does anyone reccomend ideapad slim 3? i see i5 12450h ddr5 and ryzen 5 7530u dd4 same price both laptops for 520euro it is worth?
In Australia your zenbook 14 is a $2000 computer .. budget haha
As between the ASUS Zeph g16 vs. Alienware X16 R2 with the same rtx spec, which do you recommend?
wish you guys did a video about laptops with the most issues by collecting user data on forums. A lot of these machines have the lamest issues I have ever seen. Such as the HP Envy user has posted here already. It is a disgrace honestly how bad thesr manufacturers are.
Josh! What makes you differentiate between gaming laptops and professional ones? Wouldn’t a legion pro 9i or even a zephyrus g16 (2024) be really good for design, video editing and 3d work? Or do you think that for those high prices a macbook pro would just be better? (a zephyrus g16 with a 4090 here costs almost 4000€…). I’m a creative professional. I do graphic design, video editing and like to include some 3d work and well, if I could I’d like to do some gaming on my spare time as well. I’m very confused as where to spend so much money…
slick audio . period
Hii, I can’t find any test about razor blade 16 ? Is this laptop too recent ? 🙂 Thx for the video !! and the website
I’m eyeing the Yoga Pro 9i. It’s speakers and sound quality are on par with MacBooks. Mini LED display is gorgeous for those bright scenes and outdoors. And it’s great for gaming. And it slices through video editing like butter. Truly probably the best windows laptop for overall use

I get that you recommended a Macbook Pro 14 inch for professionals, I agree 100%… If you can tolerate Mac OS. I can’t. Im happy you included a windows option, but only a 16 inch one. What about the best 15, and 14 windows options? More love for Windows / Linux users, ty.
Rtx 4050 for 1700$ what a sponsored video 💀
No thinkpad mention at all? Just bought on a blackfriday deal a thinkpad E16 with the 1600p screen (ryzen 7, 16gb, 1tb ssd, wifi 6E, aluminium base) after my LG Gram being refunded by warranty. Been loving it, missed the trackpoint from my high school computers, quite useful once you get used to it to quickly move the mouse without removing the hand from the keyboard
Dude, you and your team are the best laptop reviewers on Youtube
Lol.. i have M3 macbook and g16 rtx 4090.. rendering video, or anything is similiar if not faster on g16 … Display is better on g16, is also slimer and thiner.. what exactly you find so special on macbook ? Yeah it’s okay device for work, ( if you don’t need windows apps to run) .. but i get the same performance ( and much much better gaming performance ) on G16, with similiar speakers ( best on market in pair with macbook) while having an Oled screen.. as i said, i have both, and i choose g16 and windows every day, any day for work, gaming, watching movies, …… It’s faster, eazier…
Yoga9i – please add 64G ram slot❤❤
