"Green white and gold are the colours of success". As an Irish person, I've never agreed more.
Yup 😁
Colors of Green/White Ranger Tommy Oliver
@@Patrick2480 “i’ll drink to that bro”
green and gold arw aussie, so we'll take it
Same irish 🔛🔝
We're as surprised as well to see Austin's improvements. Just remembering those really shows how much he has improved. Good job on that!
Should do a bonus 500$ round to see who can improve their setup the most to see which one is actually better because imo they both equally suck and could be better with alittle more planning
But IMO it comes down to what was available in the store for "cheap" to appeal to the budget gamers
Yeah they both could have done better.
@@karltee7862 Also not every Target, or Walmart stocks the exact same items, nor will they always have them available online, and both Target, and Walmart's websites will sometimes tell you check a store right outside your normal area that with the current gas prices does not make sense to drive too, as it nearly doubles the cost of the item you're looking for, so it's as much of a crap shoot as just buying it online from someplace like Amazon, or eBay, plus not everyone wants to game on a laptop setup.
budget gamer 4 life
agreed
As a target employee, I also think Austin did great!
they both did terrible
I'm a Best Buy employee I feel like this was such a hard challenge to pull off. Both Target and Walmart are doing great things in making laptops more available, and at more price points, but for both companies PC Gaming is a very new market for them, and both have struggled with supply. My local Walmart carries the exact same laptop that Ken bought at Target, but only have it in stock like three days every two months. And looking at my local Walmart's current stock online, I'm finding MSI's for less than $700. So it is a matter of Ken went cheap to conserve on budget, or did he go cheap because there was literally no options in stock.
(To be fair even us at Best Buy struggle to keep gaming laptops in stock under $1000. Don't get many, don't stay long; we just compensate by having a variety of options.)
@@scottmorrison3929 they need to do a series where they shop Best Buy for kitchen items…. Oh that’s not their wheelhouse. It’s the same thing with this “series” or whatever you call it. Both stores have enough to pass but if you want computer accessories, go to a dedicated store. If you want kitchen items, you need a specific store.
hmmmmm
can u pls tell me the xbox series x restock
cuz u work at target
plssss
@@dhruvaneja3898 like how we get it? When we get it?
*Lockpicking videos on UA-cam exist*
*Austin's team* "Let's wreck the door!"
I mean it works
20 seconds in and we got Austin in front of Pokémon cards. We in the best timeline bois
True dat
@@bhavyasheth9512 dat true
It's like watching Peter and Ned set up their gaming rooms. I love it 🤘
Damn, they do actually look like peter and nedd
The sponsor transition though 😂
They sell actual desk chairs at both stores. You would think that is what you would choose automatically.
$
Money
You could from Target, mind you just keeping to what they have in the store, which is 3 low quality chairs. I'm pretty certain I had the bonded leather office chair back in the day. Ugly and terrible to have to tighten the screws each week. Walmart locally has 4 and they are a better range. Some better quality but you can see the cheapness. At the end of the day you are better off popping into a Staples or a Home Depot if you want to find something that's better if you have to buy locally. Otherwise I'd just shop on Amazon.
@@bacstaber6253 what's money have to do with it. Ken just forgot altogether and Evan didn't think instead just got a fancy bar stool. They didn't have a set budget. This ain't about money, it's about not thinking.
The desk chairs both Walmart, and Target carry in store are usually low quality crap not worth your money no matter what your budget is, and like the other commenter said Staples has a way better selection, and that's where I got my last chair being a Tempurpedic, and it's been great knowing I have a chair that won't break on me insight of 2 weeks, or hurt my back, and butt when I sit in it for longer than a few minutes.
Austin and ken are the perfect examples for target and walmart lol
I love the cut to having the door open and you see the completely ripped up lock, would've only been better if the handle was hanging limp from the door
This was absolutely fun to watch, I'll be waiting for another episode of techbusters!
3:50 "White, green and gold, those are the colour of success". Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Austin should have won the aesthetic portion of the video. Kens looks like it is straight out of a corporate apartment from 2007 especially with the fruit painting. Why fruit in your house man? That being said great finds and really appreciated the professional look of both setups.
Matt is a car guy and a man of culture.
Austin trying to fit stuff in his cart reminds me of how I do things at problem solve
me:
> learns to lockpick out of boredom over the lockdown.
> cries watching you guy.
you should all get a crash course. its super easy.
3:47 As an Irishman, this puts a smile on my face
didnt realize, but the irish flag has orange and not gold to be fair.
But gold is also associated with leprechauns
@@anonymous7024 true
I'm definitely with Matt on this one with a ROUND 2.
agree! we need more of these! I feel like there is possibilities, five below vs family dollar, walmart vs amazon, target v walmart but switched roles, maybe staples vs office depot LMAO. They actually have some gaming stuff there!
I was excited to see this video and you all keep doing your best work!!
Great video. Can’t wait for the next one!😉
Bruh swear that's Ned from spider man
No fr😂😂😂
Austin learned his lesson from the last time he "won". He wasnt a sore winner
This was fun you guys. I loved it. More like this please. Congrats Austin.
Would love to see a second video of this type of match up
“Green White and Gold are the colors of success” - Austin
“Tell that to the Green Bay Packers”
- Me
at a buffet, i personally sneak corndogs into the buffet so others can enjoy them. I hide 6 corndogs in my jacket pockets. it then, is a joy for me to see other patrons of the establishment eat
8:28 that laugh be sounding like Peter griffin 💀 😂
You all put in the break the window animation right when I went to pause my screen and I thought I freaking broke the screen with my fingertip 😂😂
We need a part two
“White green and gold are the colors of success” so many possibilities with that one sentence
That new office is very cool!
I rock similar specs to that HP Pavillion, 1650ti and an i5 10300H. Mines an Acer Nitro 5, though. For a budget, the 1650 or the newer 3050 are great GPUs, ignore the hardcore saying it's trash!
I bought a refurbished HP Pavillion i5 9400 recently minus graphics card, bought that model HP was using since they made rgb mechanical keyboard/mouse Pavillion gaming branding
I own an HP Pavilion, 1660 ti max q and i7-9750H. It's performance sucks, tbh. It's been around 2 years now, and I get only about 150 fps in Valorant (lowest settings, NVIDIA performance mode, and optimization performance in This PC).
@@suthirthadas8315 the Max-Q is a tame card aiming for efficiency over performance. Also are you using a monitor or not (connecting to a monitor can improve performance). I could probably get more fps with my 1650ti through some MSI Afterburner.
I have a similar HP model but it was I-5 9300H gtx 1650 $598 at Walmart February 2021.Then In December I snagged a Victus i5-11400H, 3050 for $750 at best but…and let me tell you you can see and feel the difference next to a 1650 at the same 4gb ram limit…I’m happy with the performance.
@@TheL1arL1ar Awesome! I'm keeping my Nitro 5 until 2023, I'll be happy with my setup until then.
i like austins minimalistic look i also like the globe over the map ken did it over the top like usual including buying speakers too which wasnt needed
4:37 I have a very similar desk to that one and I love it. Cracked me up to see it here.
I really do want to see a second part to this!
There’s a whole series lol
Aww bless their pure hearts, they don't know how to break into that door
3:47 well.... technically you're not wrong. At least in the good ole' USA
S O C I A L C O M M E N T A R Y 😂😂
Great video, enjoyed Austin's setup!
But wow, a massive office upgrade! Is that whole place theirs? Big congrats, looking forward to the tour someday.
Matt reppin' the Donut Media mech
Noice*
Watching you doing this makes me want to buy my first PC really bad
gaming PC setup cpmpetition
@4:10 KEN: ...im not going for a gaming setup... LOL
These PC Vids are the best
6:51 love the Donut media hat
Oh No I Lost My Phone.
(Poceeds To Blame Austin)🤣
Love these videos 👍👍
Ooo nice new office guys, looking forward to seeing more videos from it! 😄
Yess next video should be ken doing target and Austin doing Walmart lol , and that was really weird typing , cuz my name is Austin to 😂😂
That was definitely one of the closer ones
I’ve been beige watching your channel and I’m glad you uploaded
Good job, austin in wallmart thats going to be interesting
Love the Donut Media hat on Matt
"I'm not going for a gamer setup." Walmart gaming computer challenge
7:21 The fact that that's my birthday kinda shocked me the first time I notice it XD
2:50 "you might peg me..."
If you insist 🤷♀️
I just go so happy seeing this video. I love yall
Yoooooo! you got Ken Bolido from Denki Channel on this Video?! Awesome I love that dude! Austin is coming up!
That intro was hilarious bro.
Y'all could have printed photos as posters at Target and at Walmart. Plus they both sell office/gamer chairs. Also, since CVS owns the pharmacy in Target, technically Target is CVS. They both could have fone better but I kinda like Ken doing a fruit theme on the fly with what was in his grasp. That's creativity!
The hp pavilion laptops are actually pretty solid, it’s what my dad uses but I personally went with the nitro 5 mostly because of upgradability, I have no idea what the upgrade path for the pavilion series is like
it’s the same, there’s an open hard drive slot and open sodimm i got the pavilion for 450 at micro center with an R5 5600U
“This looked like it housed grandpa charles” LOL XD
Every episode now has some merchandise of Donut media. 👌
AUSTIN LITERALLY HAS MY LAPTOP
Love your vids Austin
I lol'd at the sales tax. We don't have one here.
Ooooo this is gonna be so dope!
bro austin is amazing
All I heard Ken say was, “You might peg me.”
Kid: "mom can I get linus tech tips?"
mom: "we have linus at home"
*linus at home*
said them thangs boutta slap they gotta be from the bay🤣💯
Finally Austin you made it!
Does anybody else appreciate how they actually type the captions or is it just me?
I love watching your videos Austin even tho I don't have any pc and money to buy. ❤️
I’m sorry Austin, but the bias makes it 10 times more funny 😂
I have a recommendation for Austin and Ken. I call it Salvation Army (Austin) VS Staples (Ken). The rules are that you can only use items in the stores and no online allowed. The end result must be a complete gaming setup including the PCs themselves.
That window transition killed my soul
I can’t make this up. The two adds I got before the video started were a target and Walmart ones.
I just want you to know i love your content
Lol 😂 I got at target ad when they were at Walmart and I rarely, if ever, get a target ad.
austin finally got his chance
Hwy Austin love all your vids always been here from the begining big supporter you are one of my idols
Same :3

Denki finally getting some recognision!
Matt with the donut media hat. Keep it up guys! First George kittle then donut?!?!?!?
Matt: visual proof that Austin is bribing me
also Matt: Bribed by ken 3 times
Man literally buys a laptop with pretty much the same specs as mine
As a packer fan I agree they are colors of success. Is Linus a packer fan ?
posted this on my birthday
fantastic video, watched it all the way to the end
Thats not true this video has 12 minutes and the video was uploaded 2 minutes ago
Finaly something good i can watch
Finally you are doing this type of video
Bro is that "The Office" ?!?!?! 😂
The two doors in the intro made me think something…
“When Stanley came to a set of 2 open doors, he entered the door on his left
I like it when you always get pokemon cards at all shopping challenges
In the next video Ken will be using a Steam Deck desktop setup while Austin uses a cheap laptops again lol.
I think Ken went cheap because it is no way you will get a gaming laptop for about 750$ like Austin did. Most of the Walmart gaming PC/laptops are really high.
So i think them switching places and shopping without each other would make this a little more interesting because then Ken wouldn't feel rush and Austin can just pick what he wants.
walmart sells their gateway laptops the creator series for like 750-900$ and they have 3050's in them
That's a large ass studio. You can fit five UA-cam channels in there
please do a second one. i love thiss budget ish setup stuff
Austin glazing is wild
10:38 matt sounds just like my teacher lol.
