@Extreme gamer well the only thing you can do on a console is game. Things like browsing the web or work can't be done in a console. So getting a laptop that can play video games, can help with work and is portable would be a good choice for many people. If you have the money for it. Also a play station can do the same.

For a 3D designer like me(using C4D, Octane Render, Substance Painter and so on), this is a perfect laptop for me and other GPU render users. the 4K resolution is extremely useful for those software, now I use a 1080p 17 inch Razer Blade Pro, 1080p is really not enough. And for the most of the 3D designer, they prefer gaming laptop over the new studio edition.

Just coming back to this video a couple of years later. I've actually owned this laptop since 2019, and, for what it's worth, dust collection on the speaker grills isn't really an issue. I use a cleaning wipe to clean it off pretty regularly, and it looks as good as new. The battery, though... is pretty terrible. I definitely don't get more than 2 hours, doing almost anything. I've really only got two gripes about the machine in general. The extremely short battery life, and the extremely stiff trackpad click function. You seriously have to push down pretty firmly on the trackpad to click it.

So they did 1440p in 2021, I've got one and it's absolutely amazing, especially mid-2021 with 11th gen processor, it handles 240Hz QHD well and no need to use NVIDIA-only mode in BIOS to have more than 144Hz.

This is the basic problem. If nobody is making the panels, the laptop makers can't put them into laptops. Apple may have enough clout to get the panel makers to produce an unusual resolution, but few other companies do.

@Mario Well, you see, your thinking like a human. Vulcans maybe already understand the content/context they are speaking of and maybe expect that you would too. So the sentence maybe uses a visual approach for describing the emotion he is trying to explain when he can't fully understand emotion being only half human. Its a brilliant statement coming from an intelligent alien making an observation of something only humans can feel. So yeah, you should already know what hes talking about or pick up what was the topic before showing how the wording confuses you.
I work with filmmaking and I want a 1440p video/film standard established more than anything. It's the perfect resolution in so many scenarios, not having it as a standard option both on cameras and for rendering is as puzzling as it is frustrating.
In my opinion having 4K 120hz would be a good way to not compromise between high refresh and high resolution. I would use this for productivity, for example video editing, where the 4k would help, but since most 4K displays are 60 hz I’d be limited to that if I want to game. I’d game at 1080p on the Razer to take full advantage of the high refresh rate. Basically it’s not exactly to be used at the same time, but a good way to get the best of both worlds instead of buying a separate monitor to get that high refresh rate or resolution that you wanted but couldn’t get.
1440p, HDR AND 120HZ... I have a dream...

I love this laptop. Knock it down to 2.7k or 1080p for games, bump it up to 4k 120 for movies and video editing. Linus may not like it, but as someone who only has one computer, not $250,000 worth of computers, it's the best thing I've ever owned for a desktop replacement.

@@IroAppe Linus makes more than enough money, it's like you don't even know what you're saying
IronAperture so you think marketing ppl dont know ads will probably be skipped 🙈 well i don’t think they are so delusional
alfie 26God Can you give reason to that assumption? My argument is as following: If you are an advertiser, you pay real money in order to get that timeframe of endorsement of your product. Direct sponsorship has advantages, but also disadvantages. For example you don‘t have the guarantee of UA-cam anymore, that your expensively paid seconds are really displayed. Sponsorships are based on trust.
Now, if you would be an advertiser with money. Tell me. If almost everyone would state that they skip the ads on every video, would you still be as willing to spend that amount of money there? Especially if it gets top comment and all, and is a movement that you can see on most videos?
You have to put yourself in the other perspective in order to find out the consequences of your actions.
what i appreciate the most about ltt compared to other techtubers, is that their sponsor messages usually last exactly 10 secs

Pixel density on small screen reduces the difference you see between resolutions significantly. On phones it's nearly indistinguishable. This is why 1440p/4k monitors rarely come in 24in size but 1080p monitors regularly do.
Just bought this for 2400 on eBay. Love the thing so far. Asking price is way too high normally though. 4k for video 1080p for gaming. Perfect.
Wait, you got the 4K 120Hz, 2080 Mq version for $2400?!?! But that one goes for $3600, and it’s not even old…
Intro for this makes me think of Google stadia. If he would have said Google stadia I would have totally agreed
"More like a double bladed lightsaber" ....but with RGB.... *omg* ... RGB Lightsabers ;O
100% agree with his final thoughts on what gaming laptops need. I have been saying exactly that since Razer released their 4K 15" Razer Blade. Why? It's crap for gaming! Take everything you put in that laptop and slap a 144hz 1440p, HDR G-Sync screen on that and I will throw my money at you! I'm literally waiting for this product to exist to buy a laptop!

@@ronniekregar3482 I want OLED for any game. That sh*t just looks good. 4k though, not true. Not for a laptop. The screen is too small so you can't tell the difference between 2k and 4k.

OMFG THAT UP ARROW THING IS SO TRUE.
