@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.
"Have you ever thought that you wanted something so bad that if you could get your hands on it your life would be so much better?" A few million dollars, please.
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.
PLEASE!! Especially with Google Stadia (though it sucks right now give it time), nvidiaNow, Shadow, and other cloud services, there is a real use case for 1440p 120hz+ in laptops, and not just 17" ones.

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.
@@Galf506 mentioning Lenovo in this context makes little sense, as they don"t need a gaming focussed screen size when their P series doesn"t have any non-Quadro options. And for CAD it makes little sense to pick a lower resolution than 4k

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.
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.
@@dhkatz_ sure, but that's compressed, also I'm not that knowledgeable about what they use as a transfer on Netflix and stuff, could still use a 2k transfer (don't quote me on this)
Thank you for pointing this out, 1440p has to be a thing on laptops, it's so obviously the best resolution for gaming with the GPU options we have today.
Nope. Pointless fad nonsense on a too small screen that makes no difference. Get a MacBook instead and stop ruining regular computers with your infantile overindulgence.
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. Seriously, this has been proven time and time again. And just for the record while I do play FPS' I play FAR more RPG's. In fact I just finished Divinity Original Sin 2 and am finally getting to the Witcher 3 which I have put off for far too long.

@@ronniekregar3482 I'm betting what you think you are getting from 4k you are actually getting from the OLED. A lot of people swear as you do but it always fails under testing and scrutiny. Every time.
@@Draidis I only recently got an OLED, but I'll give you that's fair to say, lol. But that's not it though, I've seen 1080p OLED's, and you can def see the difference. Proven schmuven, lol, 4K is where it's at.
But still, 1080p is WAY better in general. When watching videos, recording screen captures and doing stuff like that, having everything at 1080p is a whole another experience. When reading text for extended amounts of time, 1080p is easier on the eye. But still, here I am with a 768p notebook, haha :/
@@leoshork I feel you man. My one monitor is 1440p, and the other is 768p. When I would write code for projects during college I had to have it on my 1440p because the spacing between letters on my 768p monitor would mess with my eyes, which would screw up my code haha.
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.
@@Jimster481 indeed, I dont have much money to spend, but even an casio would be more refined, and higher quality than one of those. However I most prefer a Seiko snk 809 with a different strap.
That's what happened to me in 2013... And it was a 720p screen! That graphics card is terrible! Marketing was very good for that Acer laptop and probably tricked plenty of people into believing it was a decent laptop... It was way too overpriced
THANK YOU LINUS FOR SAYING WE NEED 1440P AS A STANDARD FOR GAMING!!! These major companies just don't care and it's frustrating how much 4k marketing bs has gone with gaming with how good enough 1440p is. It's great for singleplayer and even competitive gaming. Maybe try working with other major UA-camrs to email these companies about this. Our voice may not be heard but those with a reputation will.
100% agree on the lack of 1440p monitors in the laptop market. I tried to find one with no luck last summer, had to get a 1080p one instead 'cause as you said, the industry does not look at gamers for gamers products :|
Well Linus, let me tell you… in exchange for that laptop, you can get all my love and affection plus my first-born child. Thanks for your consideration sir.

@@abubakrakram6208 Yep, was originally hoping for return of the Geforce cards but now it is looking like Radeon is the king. Keep wishing they would use extensive RnD and improve cooling so they can start providing option for 'above mid range' graphics cards.
@@duanmcinnes I think it's largely an AMD problem now. They're just not making mobile cards that can compete with an RTX 2060 or above. After your comment yesterday, I looked at the configurations of 16" MBP I wanted, they're $2500-$2700. That's not cheap. I would love at least 2060 level performance for that price. :(
Canadian Samurai proprietary hardware implementation connecting the dgpu with the display to prevent screen tearing, it also increases gaming performance in laptops.
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.
It would be interesting to hear Linus's take on Razer's new Blade 15 Studio. For a company that wants to break into the productivity driven mobile workspace, the Studio looks like it might have the stones (and the Apple look) to compete head-to-head with Macbook Pros.
I think we all feel that way. That’s why we watch your channel to see you play with all the cool, expensive tech toys that we can’t afford and probably don’t need.
No ones arguing about the qhd+ . We just want more (gaming) laptops to come out with 1440p screens. Its the perfect balance of game resolution and game performance. Something we're sorely missing out on

But still, 1080p is WAY better in general. When watching videos, recording screen captures and doing stuff like that, having everything at 1080p is a whole another experience.
When reading text for extended amounts of time, 1080p is easier on the eye. But still, here I am with a 768p notebook, haha :/
@@leoshork I feel you man. My one monitor is 1440p, and the other is 768p. When I would write code for projects during college I had to have it on my 1440p because the spacing between letters on my 768p monitor would mess with my eyes, which would screw up my code haha.
@@spaceghostedits Interesting, I guess I need to learn coding to understand exactly what you mean
@@kiyoponnn Not necessarily, it did it with Microsoft word too. The Times New Roman font just stuck together.

Linus: "Frosty 68°"
Me: *Looks at my chiller*
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.

@@Jimster481 indeed, I dont have much money to spend, but even an casio would be more refined, and higher quality than one of those. However I most prefer a Seiko snk 809 with a different strap.
Watches are a scam generally. The craftmanship of old-time watchmen is long gone sadly.
@@Jimster481 Personally like Rado, but i agree with your comment
Rek Dem No it takes forever to make them the quality it very much still there. I used to work with some
Jimster480 regarding watchmakers not having the quality they used to
Might just be me, this is the only channel where I don’t skip the sponsored ads. Cause they are a good length.
when your friend buys a GT 710 and then says he gets 20 fps in minecraft
Agariani ! True Pc Master race
That's what happened to me in 2013... And it was a 720p screen! That graphics card is terrible! Marketing was very good for that Acer laptop and probably tricked plenty of people into believing it was a decent laptop... It was way too overpriced
I don't feel so good
C'mon, something's wrong here. I easily get 120 fps with that card (1.7.10 modded).
@@SikConVicTioN I have a GT 710, Minecraft runs fine at 720p 150fps or more
Linus: "Considering that i didn't even pay for the thing, allow me to explain"
(Ads comes in as usual)
Viewers: ..... it's Ridge
THANK YOU LINUS FOR SAYING WE NEED 1440P AS A STANDARD FOR GAMING!!! These major companies just don't care and it's frustrating how much 4k marketing bs has gone with gaming with how good enough 1440p is. It's great for singleplayer and even competitive gaming. Maybe try working with other major UA-camrs to email these companies about this. Our voice may not be heard but those with a reputation will.
100% agree on the lack of 1440p monitors in the laptop market. I tried to find one with no luck last summer, had to get a 1080p one instead 'cause as you said, the industry does not look at gamers for gamers products :|
I thought of wanting it.
Wallet: Ah shit, here we go again!
Wanting and buying are two different things, you know.
@@benjaminmiddaugh2729 Wanting and needing are two different things.
@@blackonblack...9244 True.
2:40 actually I just recently upgraded from my laptop that had 768p resolution
To this laptop?
Linus: allow me to explain...
Linus 0 seconds later: *Ridge wallet is the sleek w-*
Well Linus, let me tell you… in exchange for that laptop, you can get all my love and affection plus my first-born child. Thanks for your consideration sir.
Are you talking about your virginity?
Omicron Reaper no i’m talking about my first born child
@@funknugget6334 do you hate your child or something? 😂
I just got an ad for a company called Pulseway featuring Linus himself right before the video played.

Closest thing to the 17” Macbook Pro, ah memories
duanmcinnes there’s a 16” MBP now that is quite good
@@Sammito1111 yeh tossing up whether to sell trade my 2017 15" in and go the bigger 16"! All I need now is the old antiglare screen and I will be in paradise lol. Cheers mate
duanmcinnes I’m attracted too. If only it had more powerful graphics for gaming in windows bootcamp.
@@abubakrakram6208 Yep, was originally hoping for return of the Geforce cards but now it is looking like Radeon is the king. Keep wishing they would use extensive RnD and improve cooling so they can start providing option for 'above mid range' graphics cards.
@@duanmcinnes I think it's largely an AMD problem now. They're just not making mobile cards that can compete with an RTX 2060 or above. After your comment yesterday, I looked at the configurations of 16" MBP I wanted, they're $2500-$2700. That's not cheap. I would love at least 2060 level performance for that price. :(
The thing I like about Linus is that he can make anything in to a sponsor 😂
A 1440p high refresh gaming laptop couldn’t take my money quick enough.
Intro for this makes me think of Google stadia. If he would have said Google stadia I would have totally agreed
I won this laptop and this guys is nuts, clearly being paid by the competitors. The blade 17 PRO UDH is fantastic in EVERY sense.
The lack of G-Sync was the dealbreaker for me.
what's G-Sync
Canadian Samurai proprietary hardware implementation connecting the dgpu with the display to prevent screen tearing, it also increases gaming performance in laptops.
2:21 Linus: RTX 2080 Max Q
Me, using autocaptions: Ah yes, the *RT X 28 Emacs q*
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…

I just leave it on because it "supports" the channel
@@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

And speaking of movies........LOL!
It would be interesting to hear Linus's take on Razer's new Blade 15 Studio. For a company that wants to break into the productivity driven mobile workspace, the Studio looks like it might have the stones (and the Apple look) to compete head-to-head with Macbook Pros.
Linus' casual product placements never fails to get to me
at the begging, i think most people had one christmas like that and got a toy, then used for a day, when they were like 6

reinaertdevos Linus : “ speaking of Apple...”
I think we all feel that way. That’s why we watch your channel to see you play with all the cool, expensive tech toys that we can’t afford and probably don’t need.
I can’t believe we’re still arguing when they literally got it perfect with the QHD+
No ones arguing about the qhd+ . We just want more (gaming) laptops to come out with 1440p screens. Its the perfect balance of game resolution and game performance. Something we're sorely missing out on
@@privatemak8901 Yeah, but sadly, most people don't get that they can't literally can't see higher than 1440p on a laptop screen size.

Please review Razer’s laughable new $30 call center ‘headset’.
Is it bad for $30 ? I've not seen it.
FYI, this whole "retina" thing requires TWICE the pixel density from these silly angular calculations.
I wish Linus would tackle the power throttling issues for the razer blade 15
Well, a 17" Laptop is, you know, a DESKTOP and not a LAP-TOP.
