The Disappointment PC series is a super fun way for us to reset and recalibrate our expectations as reviewers and consumers, because it forces us to look at a year's worth of the worst products. We already posted a bunch of Best Of round-ups, so now we need to look back and cherish the moments of complete and utter let-down from each of the big PC companies. This past year began with hope as cryptomining collapsed and released its deathgrip on GPU prices, only to give way to a newfound AI obsession from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel that ultimately began re-driving some of those prices back up. We also got to witness the pure hubris required to launch a 16GB RTX 4060 Ti for $500 and target it at "1080p gaming," perhaps challenged only by ASUS' best efforts to blame the customer when CPUs exploded in their motherboards. And of course, our thanks to Intel for sneaking its Snake Oil meme in right before the end of the year.

Your support on these projects -- even just watching and sharing with friends -- allows us to keep doing what we do, and we enjoy starting the year fresh with a fun project. Enjoy, everyone! And thank you for all your support in 2023. We hope you have a great year and look forward to serving you more reviews in 2024!

    "A self collapsing tesseract of bullshit" - Steve just summed up the entirety of the gaming, software and hardware market of the year 2023!
  • Thanks for another year of amazing quality and awesome PC tech journalism!
  • @botagasss
    This is the one tech channel that has kept on improving, stayed true to its values and continues to amaze us with their established scientific methods. This is the channel that I can still trust on being accurate, true, and if I'm being honest, this channel is the main focus in the tech world where even companies take notice to what you say. Thank you for keeping up with the news, releases and content up until now, and have a great rest of the new year!
  • @yakitatefreak
    Every time I start to fall away from the PC space, this "Disappointment PC Build" series seems to get me right back into the groove of watching tech YouTubers.
  • I just want to say, "Thanks Steve" and team for a great year of content, it really helped me in a new build this year!
  • Let me just say, I don't care how much this intro cost to make. This was one of the best things you guys have produced from an "artistic" stand point. As someone who comes here solely for the facts, cut and dry exactly as is...this was actually REALLY nice and cool. I don't know whose idea this was, but some more creative freedom like this moving forward would be great to see!
  • @Stucc0Dude
    That intro deserves all the awards. That was amazing.
  • Great way to close out the year. GN should be proud of the work and service to the consumer for helping keep objective reporting a priority in the industry, instead of affiliate sponsored/driven video content. I will be continuing my Patreon and viewer support for the foreseeable future. As a final note you may find good to know: your latest memory manufacturing video was informative and entertaining. My wife normally wouldn't care about such content, but as she works in manufacturing she enjoyed both the editing and your excellent coverage of the process. Best of luck in 2024 from us in West Virginia.
  • @soykac
    I love these vids. Wish the team had more time to do goofy shiz.
  • @cymonthebest
    Holy crap. I commented in 2022 dissapointment build to release the 2023 now.... and you guys just did it.. thanks steve.
  • Props to the editor. This video was paced amazingly and the cuts up the humor.
  • I love the factory tours, please keep up that sort of content. Thank you again for an incredible 2023 Steve!
  • @HiddenMPH
    I'm convinced he carries the 4090 like a key chain
  • @da1punisher
    Just bought the disappointment tour shirt. Still have the 2018 version. My wife laughed afterwards, when I was wearing it, and she saw Steve wearing it too. "Hey! That's your shirt!" she exclaimed. I said "How weird is that?" She had no idea I bought it here. 😁
  • @triadwarfare
    Did 12VHPWR make it on the list along with the gaslighting that it's the customer's fault when it burns?
  • @eflarsen
    $500 for 1080p gaming is still insane. the 7800XT is around $500 and it's for lower-FPS 4k gaming (and is the one i'm planning on putting in my 1440p build)
  • @Zeuskabob1
    Love the educational content! Looking forward to another great year of GN!
  • Thanks Steve! Always informative as well as entertaining - learned about tesseracts today 😂 Cheers to a Happy New Year for everyone!
  • Your opening cinematic segments each year get better and better.
