I Bought a $5000 PC in a Random Asian Tech Mall

Would you wander into a random shop in a foreign country, hand over all your credit cards, and say ‘Make me a Gaming PC’? Linus did! He visited Guang Ha Digital Plaza, handed over $5000, and said ‘yes’ to everything.

The kid who won the computer goes "yes it's very lucky for me" for literally no reason other than he's excited to be meeting Linus. What a little sweetheart 💞

[ADUCGKPC]

Thank you again! dude

LOVE YOU MY MAN!

[irony]

love how the kid responds to linus' "it's your lucky day" -
"its lucky for me to meet you"
so pure and deserving

[PortugueseBassist]

Went there yesterday, talked to the same dude, when I asked if he was the dude who did the PC for Linus, he said “yeah that’s me! You found me”. Pretty cool dude.

1. PC Shop guy being a real king to his customer. I suspect that he recognized Linus tho, but still the king. His work is clean af.
2. A young gentleman gets to meet one of his favorite Youtubers, plus, gets a sick PC. His reaction was priceless and relatable.
3. A young lady gets excited about her buddy/boyfriend/sibling having one of the best day his life and celebrates that. Her reaction was also adorable and again, relatable.

One of the best videos I've seen on this platform for a long time. Awesome.

"It's your lucky day"
"Yes, it's very lucky for me"
That dude is a gem

[johnstancell]

I can't think of a person on earth more deserving of winning that computer than that young man. Right place/right Time with utmost humility and gratitude Congratulations, dude!

[ieradossantos]

20:32 The kid was in agreement that it was his lucky day just because he saw Linus. That is a kid that absolutely deserved the pc

[maxxammax]

The builder went absolute full send for a random tourist.
11/10 give him all the jobs.

[crawdaddyy]

I love that he texted you at 2:30 AM. Just a real gamer wanting to make sure his customer is happy.

[KelvinSuddith]

I'm so glad that kid was the one to get the pc. He was just genuinely a fan who appreciated meeting Linus, and then he had the surprise of a lifetime!

[lamhamzzzzzz]

leaving the sticker peel on for the customer's satisfaction is not a flaw! it's a sign of utmost love

[walterf]

That kid's so wholesome. He said it was his lucky day to meet Linus. So happy for this guy!

[_briannw]

The PC builder was super genuine with choosing the parts, even though Linus said he didn't know anything about computers. Huge props to the guy, he did an amazing job!

[curtdazzle]

The dude who built that PC has a passion for what he does. Incredible job!

[D-Rockk]

20:45 "Yes, it's very lucky for me."

My favorite moment in the whole video. ❤️

[AzogDefian]

From what I can see, the seller actually likes his work and cares about customers humble and genuine guy.

[orcslayer]

found the perfect person to give it to. So stunned and happy to meet you, agreeing how lucky he is... BECAUSE HE GOT TO MEET YOU, not even knowing he was getting the PC.

I have lived in Taiwan for over 20 years and have bought computers many times. This is absolutely a typical experience. Walk into one of these shops, they give you a list of parts to pick from (with prices next to each part). You pick what you want, they put it together for you at no price up. Also, whenever I've had an issue with my computer, I just pack it up, take it into the shop, and they'll diagnose and fix it. You'll get charged for any new parts neccessary, but if they can solve the problem without any new parts, they will... and will typically charge nothing or just a few bucks.

I've even taken computers that I didn't buy at a particular shop in, and they provided identical service.

The competition in the computer models is insane so they are motivated to provide great service...and they do.
