Yes, but only one with numpad....

Hhmmm we should click every link in the internet so we know everything in the internet.
Congratulations on becoming the largest LMG channel!
@@AlexBey493 AMEN TO THAT!
Congratulations on becoming the largest LMG channel!
Well that's easy when you're the last standing 😂 great to be here since the beginning 😂. We've seen it and nurtured this channel to good health
I love how Short Circuit is loving all the memes
No shit, sherlock
@@RedRingOfDeadthere not Linus Cat Tips was still up last I looked

Hope the team is doing ok today, given the mess on CZcams. Sending support and love to the whole team!
I hope linus isnt yelling too much at his poor employees. I know he can be a bit explosive in times like these
@@kakashi99908 Says who
@@kakashi99908 pretty sure employees have nothing to do with it. Its not their fault google is this easy to hack.
make me wonder if Linus is rethinking his decision about not mirroring his content to other platforms like Odysee, Rumble, and Bitchute. 😅
@@CommodoreFan64 He have backup. And backups of those.
So this wouldn't effect him. Except for all the time it will take to reupload all of them.
I have the i9-13980X version and it’s an absolute beast. I love it. I upgraded from the 3080Ti Blade 17 and the performance increase is definitely noticeable, to the tune of at least 20% more (I’m being conservative) in MWII.
BTW, both USB-C ports output to DP, and that’s what I use for my external monitor (the port on the left side of the laptop.
I agree that the keyboard is meh, but it’s not horrible. I’m usually on an external keyboard anyway.
Lastly, my dbrand skin delivered a few days ago, they’re my go to laptop skin.
hey can you tell me if you get any screen flickering on your version of it? I've been reading about so many horrible experiences that I've become a bit reluctant to buy it now
1:13 Gotta appreciate how the editor added the camera shake for comedic reasons.
I didn't even notice :D
At least one LMG channel avoided the hack. And Alex gets to mess with a Razer laptop, bonus.
Mac address, channel super fun and omg clips would love to have a word
Also Mac Address and LMG Clips, probably cause these channels cause they’re newer than the original channels probably were stored better/more securely
Mac Address, the actual BEST LTT channel survived
I think this was hacked too. I saw 3, LTT Short Circuit and Tech Quickie. LTT got taken down about 15 minutes after I saw it at 4.30 am thus morning
Mac Address too
I know this video was scheduled to go out at a specific time but it's funny to imagine the LTT juggernaut just pushing through what happened today :D
What happened?
@@ericvarney6256 LTT got hacked
LTT got outed as gay
@@stringstormit was a cookie hack, its actually googles fault on their end for letting something like that happen
@@stringstorm It's frankly an inevitability once you are a well known brand, it will happen sooner or later. You can sort of avoid it by making it more annoying then rewarding to dissuade the common folk, but if someone wants in enough...they will get in. The best you can hope for is preventing it for as long as possible and having a plan in place for recovery after it happens.
Desktop replacements are awesome. For years I traveled as a contractor and it was nice to be able to have one computer that I could use everywhere. You don't have to worry about synchronizing files. All you do is make sure things get backed up and your golden. It really is worth the additional cost.
The mouse accuracy tip - if you really care about mouse accuracy look for the markc mouse fix and install the registry entry for your window scale to get pure 1:1 movement. This fix DOES require cursor precision to be left ON, because the pointer curve applied by this registry key is a cursor precision setting.
ShortCircuit: Look at me, I'm the main channel now.
Hope LMG gets LTT back
They will.
I hope TechLinked comes back too
& techquickie + techlinked
Wait what happen to the other channels? I didn't know yet
Did you know he hired his wife as human resources? His own wife was hired in a position to control everyones personal data. Fuck linus and ltt.
Condolences to the entire company, and Linus himself. Much love, hope things get back to the way the were before, very soon.
I loved Alex’s description of the keys.
“Uhhhuuuuggg!” 🤣
😂
This is going to be Short Circuit's most popular upload, lucky Razer.
They're going to be very put out by the lack of engagement with their product in the comments though. Better luck next time Razer.
Probably cause of the other channels getting hacked lol
Lol was just thinking that.
@@harbl99 Yeah, but does anyone actually care about Razer laptops in 2023? They're behind in innovation. Their build quality has always been absolute garbage-tier. Their customer support is infamously useless. If LMG can't get proper support for their fleet of Razer Blades that all suffered from QC issues, then none of us normal customers can.
Maybe they can re-negotiate the sponsor spot. They sorely need it! Hehe!
You guys are truly the biggest and best LMG channel on youtube right now.
No cap
this joke came in 10 minutes too late.
The last gaming laptop I had was the Asus ROG Strix…and it made this thing look like a tic-tac. It was amazing for the 5years I had it. I paid 5500 for it and it was fine performance wise for a long long time.
The hacker's plan to take control of every LMG YT channel was ShortCircuited. Long live LMG!
Good luck to all at LMG in fighting and restoring the LMG brands on CZcams.

@@jcreel234 they got hacked and all the ltt channels are gone expept for 4 inculding shortcircuit
@@jcreel234 Try watching an LTT video rn
@@jcreel234The LTT and TechQuickie channels got hacked and subsequently started advertising scam stuff, so youtube disabled them both to prevent any further things from happening. Pretty sure it isn't at the fault of anyone on the LMG team, and is due to vulnerabilities in google software associated with the affected channels.

I love how after all the channels got hacked, at least we get to watch Alex mess with a laptop. 10/10
Suddenly, linus insisting on keeping his archive of every video you've ever made doesn't seem so insane anymore.
"OBS didnt record properly"... did you get the compromised version by mistake?
NIce to see one channel has survived!
What happened ???
@@masmoudiomar55 their other channels just got hacked by crypto scams (elon live stream you know) and the channels got terminated now.

The camera shake when dropping the laptop after talking about weight was great. The LMG editing has been rocking it!
You almost HAVE to have a laptop stand/riser/cooling pad with these things. I had the Blade 15 with a 2070 in it and after getting just a basic cooling pad, the fan noise was much more tolerable.
11:36 - I know OBS settings got messed up, but frankly I actually really liked the PiP view.
Glad to see this channel, Channel super fun, and LMG clips survived. Hopefully they can sort out the rest.

@@thanos879 unless the channel isnt back
@@sharkyy12 there is still twitch, so they can talk about the progress, even if they don't have their channel back yet.
I am traveling a lot and needed a powerful laptop for gaming and video editing, so I got this particular laptop. I agree, at this price range it is hard to recommend, but when looking at the competition (larger and louder), it does stand out pretty well. I love the speakers and the screen, don't love the touchpad (buggy and annoying accidental clicks), the keyboard is meh. the package is pretty impressive though.
As a 'desktop replacement', i would love for you to show what a similar performing desktop would cost, including screen with same specs etc.
ShortCircuit living the "This is fine" meme lmfao
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAH
The only uncompromised channel got a scheduled video out 😂
I understand the design pretty well, as I need a desktop replacement due to travel necessities, although for that price, I can do much better in other models and brands, with better ergonomics, weight, keyboard, etc. But I’m kind of happy that companies are starting to give this kind of necessity a shot.
Would love to see Razor's customer service tested by LTT secret shoppers. Given their reported history that's always been what's turned me away.
They would fail. The worst part is that you’ll have to use it 100% cause the product is unreliable
Razer is notorious, they are forcing you to buy their product again. In fact, most of my friends that are hardcore Razer moved away to Logitech.
@@AlfaPro1337 very sad because the only issue I had with my 2016 blade stealth was the battery blowing up and them discontinuing replacements after 3 years. I tried to replace in 2020, they just wanted me to buy a new laptop lmao. That and my model apparently was prone to audio IC issues. It served me well but the dual core is showing its age and honestly, it should have come with a quad core in the first place. I'm pretty put off by razer even though mine has been damn near perfect. Replaced with a 23 ROG Zephyrus. 2k cheaper if you count the eGPU and GPU that I bought for my blade.
This. I think the laptop looks cool but I'd never buy it because razer products die so fast. I went through like 3 razer megalodon's before giving up.
Alienware too. Tbh all big companies are cancer. Alienware support literally told me that having 110 celsius on my cpu temp is normal because it's a gaming laptop, despite the fact that I was getting blue screens.
Moved on to custom build laptops, not gonna look back because I have never had a problem with them.
Kudos to SC chugging along despite the LTT issue. Hope everything is going well with Alex and the ENTIRE LMG team!! Hope LTT is back soon!
The rest short circuited ah ah ah
I thought I already had "Enhance Pointer Precision" disabled, but you made my curiosity peak, and turned out it was on
thanks for the sudden reminder
Although I was all for desktop replacements 3 or 4 years ago, to just have my gaming on the go, with the advent of the Steam Deck and all those portable gaming devices, I don't see the use anymore. The only use I can see is for heavy graphics/videos producers/editors on the go but it's very very very niche.
2:30 Wiring external video ports to the dGPU is definitely not always an advantage. Unless the iGPU is completely gone/disabled (in which case ouch battery life), runtime switching between laptop screen only, external only and/or a mixed scenario introduces stuttering on Windows. Getting it to work on Linux at all is shaky at best. Ideally, manufacturers implement a MUX switch that can be set in the firmware setup so you as a user can choose.
Interesting that they decided to include fan on the battery side. My Razer Stealth from 2018 had scary battery bulge after 2 years of use, same story for my friend's Stealth. It was causing random shutdowns and I had to replace the battery by myself. Not to mention that the entire laptop surface felt like grill during moderate use. End up gifted it to my friend as a desktop replacement lol
One of the few comments not talking about LTT getting hacked
@@shadowcomputing razer punching the air
I have a blade and man does it feel like a grill. That is my biggest issue.
yep my blade 2019 did the same, on second battery and 2nd set of fans, got a 3 set of fans on the shelf for when these die, it's simple to replace both things, but like WTF
I got the baattery bloating in 6 months with Blade 15 Advanced 3070
dang, didn't expect to wake up this morning to find out one of the biggest tech channels to be taken down in such a manner. I hope this is a wake up call to not just Google/CZcams but all big tech platforms to tighten up security and prevent issues like this from occurring. Easier said than done, but once the accounts are compromised the damages can be colossal.
Hoping for a speedy recovery from the LMG team.
😊
Yeah maybe this will increase the security of CZcams in general.
How is it the companies fault if someone falls for a phishing email or use bad passwords?
@@lIlIllIlIllIlllIllIIIIIIIIIlII it actually sounds like a malware that steals cookies and passwords.
Alot of laptops say 2 of 4 if both slots are taken up. Mine has 2 slots and says 2 of 4 because the boards can support 4, manufacturers just dont apply 4
Hope you guys are doing good. And hope LTT gets back as soon as possible.
Growing up by watching LTT is one of the best thing I remember ❤️
Good luck guys! Hopefully we will still get WAN show tomorrow. Cant wait for the discussion after today!
Alex, the ram slot information shown in Task Manager is usually wrong for laptops(and for many desktops too like mine), my moms laptop and my desktop both have 2 ram slots(both populated) but both of them show 2 of 4 slots used for some reason even though 2 of 2 are populated.
At least we still have this channel for the LTT fix.
Looking forward to hearing about this in the next WAN show haha
Congrats on becoming Linus Media Group's flagship channel
Glad to see they light up the whole key with RGB, I hate that my huntsman only lights up the main key 'character' and doesn't light up the 'shift characters', they ones I always forget which ones are where, lol
waaaaaw, i never knew about this part with closing up the pointer acceleration. Thanks alot
The editing has always been great, but this one in particular is even more amazing! Good job! :D
Hey, at least I get something to watch from LMG!
I also love how dbrand named the link "shortlinus".
Alex constantly looking at teleprompter makes it more hilarious .
I'm glad this channel is still up. Best wishes to the ltt team, I can't imagine all the revenue lost while the other channels are down. Alot of people depending on it. I'll be buying some lttstore merch and a dbrand skin from the link to try and support . Hope others do too.
what revenue
Looks like we still have short circuit and LMG clips. Let's gooooo! Can't imagine what that 4am wake up call was like. Can't wait for LTT to be back up and running!
I subscribed to floatplane this morning when the live stream started to get updates. I honestly didn’t expect to be as shook as I was about the whole sitch, hope everyone’s doing alright 💕
The European keyboard layouts feature full size arrow keys btw, its only layouts with big shifts that doesnt have it
The earlier model of Dell XPS called the L5O2x had really good speakers. If only such speakers were built into current laptops too.
Looks like LTT is getting back to it's unboxing roots.
I'm really sad about the current situation with the other channels. I hope everything can back to some form of normalcy soon. Blessings and best wishes to everyone on LMG.
I don't know if this was already like this in the link, but if you actually go to the sponsored link, the url changes referencing ShortCircuit's channel instead of LTT's. Maybe in relation to the channel's deletion
Careful when buying any razer laptops. I have a Blade 15" from 2020 that I bought for college and the battery is expanding below the trackpad, so I need to find a new battery to replace it since, conveniently, my device is out of warranty. I've seen this happen to multiple other devices online. If you've had this issue and replaced the battery yourself let me know where you found your replacement battery, I'm skeptical of random Amazon listings.
I had nothing but a bad experience with my old Razer Blade Pro late 2016, both in terms of build quality, and CS. Everytime someone talks about buying a laptop, I just steer them away from Razer, they would really need to recover their rep in a major way before I would ever give them another chance. I ended up having to replace the battery in mine, opened it up, and the SSD cooling fan was not even plugged in.
lucky SC didnt get pulled into the whole situation.
hope you guys get everything back and sorted out soon!
linus must be sweating buckets right now
I hope the editor brings the gag back that whenever Alex does a thumbs up, he inserts the smiley thumbs up on screen, I loved that video!
Is this high pitched noise coil whine or just the fans?
Also if its just the fans im curious if its so difficult to make a more low freq sounding fan for a laptop or its just brands cheap out.
I hope they get back their subscribers on the main channel beecause so much work has gone into it
Of course they will, CZcams will just roll it back to earlier today
@@adventure_F0x I've been reading comments of people who unsubscribed, though. Those people will have to remember to subscribe again
@@bipbop3121 no, they will be automatically resubbed
damn, they are still uploading videos even in such an havoc. The really do stick tight to their schedule don't they.
Dude it was scheduled probably a week in advance. 😅They don't live upload. They upload & set private then publish them automatically on a schedule.
My headcanon is that if someone starts humming crabrave at LMG, the entire staff congregates and begins dancing while performing a full acapella rendition of it.
got that same skin on my pixel 7 pro it looks good on video but i can assure you it's looks even more awesome irl
At 5:58 according to those measurements the laptop has a trackpad that is 15x10" and the laptop itself is 18", that is one bigboy trackpad. (measurements should probably be in cm not inch right?) 👍
I hope you guys and girls get all channels and videos back without to many issues. Also hopefully the damage is not to huge
Does the battery get bloated from hours of gaming like the 15" i had to send back 3x?
Did you have to remove the rubber feet to take off the back?
next episode, how to secure your computer on linux by Anthony
At least this one channel is still alive
Dude, THANK YOU for mentioning the mouse pointer precision thing, that was driving me bananas for MONTHS.
When do we get to see the Linus's dbrand Taycan vid?
I'd love to see a newer review of the Zephyrus G14. I feel it didn't go as in depth as most of your videos now.
I miss ltt already
I went with an M15 R7, but maybe my next would either be this or the x17 or the M18
Speaking of webcams, could LTT please do a comparison of high end webcams suitable for video conferencing AND 4K video streaming? I heard the Insta360 Link - PTZ 4K Webcam (with 1/2" Sensor & AI Tracking) is a good one, but we would appreciate reviews of all midto-high-end ($150 to $450 US) options? Don't bother including any that can't manage at least 1440p at 60fps. Thanks
Interesting choice to rebrand LTT under ShortCircuit /s
Hope y'all get back up and running soon
I know Linus said he had no security staff but hope now he is going to hire some now.
When the Diablo beta was open recently, I dusted of my Razer Nostromo, installed Synapse and the Legacy stuff.. it STILL does daily updates!
The fact that they come with 125 hurts keyboards is crazy you have to use an external keyboard but the thing is that way you can actually change the polling rate on the mouse because without the 125 hurts keyboard you have to keep the mouse at 1000 Hertz
Hope things can get back to normal for LTT as soon as possible! Hope CZcams do something quickly...
I have the 16" on order. There were a few laptops in my sights, the blades specifically not using liquid metal is why Razer got my money
18 is too big for me, too. $3-5k, naw. I had opted for custom liquid metal on a laptop that didn't come with it. I haven't had any issues the last couple of years, but I basically realize repasting is basically not an option & the gpu was also Grizzly, but not liquid. I definitely prefer the graph??? option. I was maybe too focused on the fact the laptop needs to work on 115F+, when I went liquid.
@@bipbop3121 I travel a *lot* for work though. Can't risk even the slight chance of a 5k Laptop being funk just because my plane landed a bit too harsh. Repasting won't be an option as it's going to be company owned unfortunately
I've been shopping for a 16 or 17 inch laptop and man, there really arent a lot of great options... 15 seems to be the most popular which is fine but Im used to huge displays I could literally fit two 15 inch displays over my screen and have room left over. Love to see more of these hitting the market, wish the prices werent so insane.
considering 15 is the maximum limit if you want to comfortably backpack a laptop in my opinion.
but wait, 16 inch is just 15 but 4:3 rasio
11:20 I always have mouse acceleration off but I still check every time I see it
At least not every channel at LMG got hacked, I hope the team get the rest of their channels back.
I'm waiting for a desktop replaemnt to just own what it is. Make it even thicker than this to put proper cooling in, ditch the gimmicky speakers, no need for a big battery. It's purpose is to sit on a desk probably connected to speakers and a monitor. For portability you just need to be able to pick it up and move it to a different desk say at a relatives, or friends house.
Wow. I've had that pointer acceleration thing on the entire time. Excited to see if it makes a difference! Thanks!
Most games get mouse movement data from a lower level interpretation of the mouse input from before Enhance Pointer Precision is applied, and are unaffected. There are however some that do apply EPP, and it's not particularly useful anywhere except if you have a terribly imprecise mouse or hand shake or one of a variety of other disabilities affecting hand movement.
I installed windows a few days ago and I had ENHANCE POINTER PRECISION on. Thanks for the reminder.
"With great girth comes great IO" all time great line
Upload schedule is still standing strong 💪🏻
Hope you guy can get though this mess and back on track asap, coz I really love the video especially the testing the unbrekeable tv from china
I use a fairly chonky laptop, legion y545. It is my main machine, and while not great on my lap, it is good for using mostly as a desktop replacement, and I can take it with me as well.
Didn't expect this to grow so fast it becomes biggest LMG channel
Whoever was in charge of keeping the password to shortcircuit channel deserves a rise
I would love to see a review of anything ryzen 6000/7000 powered without a dGPU, i recently picked up a thinkpad t14 AMD and im shocked how decent it is as a gaming laptop, it outperforms the 1050ti i had before, while getting ultrabook battery life. i think those chips could be the start of a low-midrange gaming laptop revolution.
@shortcurcuit 3:30 umm, that razor is a fingerprint magnet. Look at the palm rest, trackpad, keyboard and even ON THE SPEAKERS! WHAG😱 WOW!
even when the other channel is deleted the grind never stops
