    I went a bit off the books for this video. Hope you guys still enjoyed it =) Thanks for the support 2D fam!
    If you’re wondering why I played Overwatch and not some other more graphically demanding game. It’s because I’ve been trying to get into top 500 in Overwatch this season and I straight up find my aim being thrown off when I switch games. I’ve become an Overwatch snob. I’m such a loser. LULZ.

    4 years ago it costed 9,000$, now its comparable to a 1000$ laptop.
    Amazing how technology evolves rapidly.

      @ddaarrkknneezz 2 роки тому +17

      Do we even have a $1000 laptop that has performance as close to this?
      In terms of graphics..... maybe not (yet).
      In terms of cpu..... maybe yes, when the upcoming Intel 12th gen cpu comes out.
      But I dont think the price would be exact $1000. Maybe 1300~1600.

      @@ddaarrkknneezz Intel is a mistake at this point. A $999 macbook air or even cheaper iPad with M1 toasts this predator 21X on CPU, memory speed and bandwidth, storage speed and capacity (at a price). Graphics is of course still great on the predator but it doesn't support RTX, so it's quickly outdated for gaming and thus a pointless $9K exercise at its core purpose.
