How to Buy a Laptop

"If i say the Hp Envy is good, it will go from good to sold out in 30 minutes." Thats a whole flex

Its badass knowing that you can single-handedly cut up the buying market by dropping a video

For a back to school device, I would be particularly looking at durability and repairability. School devices are hard to not abuse.

Another important factor: key layout. Language can always be changed in the OS, but key layout is fixed unless you get something like a Thinkpad with replaceable key layout options. For example, here in Québec brick-and-mortar stores basically have to sell laptops with the ANSI Canadian French layout or at the very least Canadian Multilingual Standard, so that people can actually use them. But online stores may only sell models with U.S.A. ISO layouts; which means you're getting fewer keys; and typing in your language could be a serious avoidable pain. Lots of people buy expensive laptops online, only to realize that they ended up with the ISO layout, which absolutely sucks for typing in French; or worse they end up with the european AZERTY "French" layout which is arguably even worse (at least USA ISO is still QWERTY). Canadian French ANSI is required by schools in the province and provincial public institutions in both official languages pretty much only use this one exclusively because it is proven to be better for typing both in French and also even just for typing in English. The older Canadian Multilingual Standard ANSI is still used by some federal institutions, but is low-key gradually being replaced by U.S.A. ISO just because most unilingual anglophones don't know how to tell the difference and the supply of U.S.A. ISO is easier to come by. And don't even get me started on how hard it is to preserve multilingual layouts for the various First Nations and Indigenous languages and prevent them from getting phased out too.

Glad to see Jarrod's Tech getting some recognition, the man really knows how to make proper laptop reviews.

I love how LTT won't let Dell have it with the "Financing" issue with his buying guide video.

Thanks Austin, I really needed help figuring my laptop out and this helped

I have been looking into what I should look for while buying a laptop for like the past month, and this is probably one of the best videos I've watched, and also probably one of the best on this entire platform itself.

The biggest flex is: "If i say the Hp Envy is good, it will go from good to sold out in 30 minutes."

Lots of great advice!

that image with the sRGB, adobe RGB and prophoto RGB to see was a nice touch!

I have the alienware 15 r3 2017 with i7 7700hq and gtx 1070. I upgraded it from 8gb ram to a newer 32gb ram, new battery and put a skin on it. Newer laptops don't temp me cause in my laptop did I learn plenty things and it is still capable until today. Just repasting together with cleaning and diagnostics is what I do on my laptop which I learned on the way while owning it.

I can now stop spending an hour teaching my family and friends how to look for a laptop, which usually ends in me just picking one for them, and send them this video. Thank you LTT!

I'm born blind, I'm interacting here using a screen reader. And I admire your work, I really like your content, I'm very happy that it's growing so fast! Congratulations for work and dedication. Motivated by my interest in the computer field, together with my friends I created a project called Blind Center, our goal is to bring information and show how blind people use Youtube and other digital platforms! Hope you like it! As we speak the Portuguese language, you can use Youtube subtitles to understand the content of the videos.

The video structure was really good, especially bringing so many people in talking about the stuff they know a lot about. Can agree with some points on my HP Envy x360 I bought last year. Screen is cool (including the touch capability), keyboard and trackpad are amazing, battery is okay and since my main PC is at my desk and I mainly need the laptop for work or traveling, the perfomance is enough. Only thing I made a mistake on is the soldered 8GB or RAM. Looked at the wrong model number and bought the 8GB model to save money for now. Perfomance is still good for now but I will regret this.

8:11 I still have somewhere my X230 I was using on my university back then <3

Wait, DELL has a financing option? But what about extended warranty!

The explanations of laptop cpu’s and gpu’s actually clarified a lot for me. This is a really well organized and executed video!

I just got an HP envy x360 13 with an i7 and 8gb of ram. I’m a bit sad that the ram is soldered but I absolutely love the size, screen and keyboard of this laptop. It also looks great

It's nice to see that AMD has final matches the naming scheme with the Zen 3 for mobile and desktop CPUs
