That starting b-roll was just you flexing your editing skill, amazing!

[Leonsimages]

As someone who uses their PC for more than just Gaming, it's easy to give consoles a pass - so I am glad to see someone else's perspective!

Ah, the elusive Series X. I’ve never seen one with my own eyes, but I’ve heard about them in the great legends and myths of the past

YouTube finally started giving me desktop notifications, this is the only channel I have it on for. Happy to be here early!

The controller button clicks for reference during the fan noise comparison was genius. I struggle to gauge how loud exactly something is when other techtubers simply play back the audio.

We all know exactly how loud a controller button press is so it's such a simple and effortless way of demonstrating this sound test. I tip my hat to you, good sir.

The first time i watched your video you had only around 17k subs, keep it up.ma man

A Xbox Series X is cheaper than a 5700XT right now...

I’ve skipped upgrading my pc (gtx 1080 and 6700k in Ncase m1 v6.1) and decided to refresh couch gaming setup instead getting Series X with Q90T last December. Series X with gamepass is amazing. For 500 you have a 3700x and 3070ish equivalent with 1 TB ssd and 4k blu-ray player. Unbelievable how they did it.

Series x is one hell of a gaming platform. I was amazed at how well it plays and looks. Sure beats all the budget(rx580/1060) gamers and even trades at midrange pcs(3600 rtx 2070/60)

Gonna have to change your channel name to, "Swole Guy Does Tech Stuff!"

Keep up the awesome work!!

[lobenshot]

The quality of your content is insane. Definitely one of the best tech channels on youtube. Seriously a pleasure to watch your videos.

Gamepass and BackCompat made me buy series S.

[Watchurix]

I’ve had my series x for 2 months now, I never regret it, there’s a few bugs but it gets bypassed

[ellypsis]

Bought the Series S, coupled with a 4TB HDD for old games, it works flawlessly, its super quiet and small and the trick for 3 years of gamepass ultimate is just an absolute killer deal.

for 300euros, this thing is just perfect.

I have a system with a 3080 and a 3900x, and I still have to say I end up getting more actual use out of my Series X. While I bought it as a Blu Ray player that also plays games, console versions of streaming services still have noticably higher bitrate than their PC counterparts. Also, most of my work buddies play on Xbox. $15 a month for dozens of great titles, reliable online service, and the ability to stream games straight to my Tablet or Phone anywhere in the world is a fantastic deal to me

[mrmazlan]

I bought a series X, very impressive!

[Jamestorn]

Never really noticed before but this dude is built. Dude's got arms and pecs

As a SFF pc/any gaming hardware fan, I am so glad to get the SFF console review. Only you offer us this balanced perspective, especially the decibel comparison . Cheers from Belgium mate
