Were you not able to upgrade specifically to the i7, or are you just not able to upgrade the processor at all with this laptop? Also, I'm pretty new to this stuff, so are you able to upgrade the graphics card at all?

    I'm liking and commenting and hopefully it will help you out! I feel so bad that you have such good quality on par with so many larger channels and you somehow just aren't getting the subs to match.
    Definitely make sure to start the videos asking for subs. I know it seems weird to ask before they've seen anything, but tbh whatever works at this point yo deserve it.
    You could also start vids by thanking regular viewers. I hate saying that because I don't want to ask for thank you ever especially when I'm barely doing anything. But, I know when I hear something like that at the beginning of a video it does make me want to like and subscribe.
    Hope you can get more subs man I can tell you love making videos and It would be awesome if your channel could at least pay for itself.

      I agree with what you’re saying and I feel so weird just always asking for people to sub but yeah, you might be right, maybe I should say it at the beginning and end so people get the idea haha.

      @@RAVisuals Many years ago I had an Asus laptop that the hinges broke on pretty early on. I ended up opening it up and putting epoxy all over to hold them in place. Quite a bit afterward they released an extended warranty due to the bad hinges. They ended up replacing my entire case because of the epoxy. LOL. They said they did not void the warrantee because my "fix" did not cause anything to fail out side of the original issue. They also replaced the motherboard due to a "faulty audio chip" even though it was fine also due to epoxy on the board. Hahaha.

    I just bought the Creator Series with the RTX 2060, and the fans are always on, even if its idle, temps low, and no apps are running. I've tried many fan controllers, but none of them seem to be able to detect/adjust fan speeds. How can I make the fans quieter?

    @12:40 Those stickers are not legally enforceable in the USA. It's probably just a carry over from the ODM (Tongfang in this case) for sales in other markets. Including that sticker for a USA market product is technically illegal and voiding your warranty simply for the removal of that sticker definitely is illegal. Not sure if the law is similar for Canadians, sorry.

      Correct! was just about to say the same thing.
      It violates the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in the US, At least. As long as you don't do something to mess up anything with the parts covered under warranty (and the burden is on them to prove otherwise) they have to cover it. I'm sure they make it sound like anything minor or unrelated will void their warranty to get out of it. Makes you think about the QC on these things if they don't want just anyone, (inexperienced in upgrades) from messing around in there.

      Good video man. Subbed and liked it and a few others. Especially liked the Amazon site lists. Definitely helpful just like this one. Got the i5 creator variant for one of my sceenagers. Played with it s bit to make sure it's good for Xmas. And thinking of getting one myself now that it went down from $799 to $699 🙄 doh! Should've waited. Actually getting back to PCs after chilling with a chromebook and xbox for the past several years. Was hoping to build a Desktop but like you said in your Cyber- Monday video and a friend of mine said as well, it's got pricey this year, what with Covid19 and the tariffs (taxes) on foreign countries that get passed onto us consumers (we're basically taxed in a roundabout way) and honestly with the way this year went think i'll go the easy route and get a laptop. now I can use this time to learn more about building and foraging around for better deals to put a PC together. Thanks for the content. Will definitely use your vids as a resource. 👍🏻

    I want my game and video downloads to go to the 1TB but earlier when I downloaded Steam it showed me my available space was 202GB so I'm assuming it is being redirected to the 256GB drive.
