"You're not allowed to make me feel short"

I really hope that's a legit company policy. Bravo Linus.

The "Intel $5000 Extreme Tech Upgrade" show turns out to be the "LTT How much stuff my workers stole from the office" show.

[NebulonRanger]

The best part about this series is watching Linus slowly get tired of building everyone's rigs for them lol

[ExcenGaming]

I'm actually surprised at all of the gear you can aquire for $5, 000.

And I'll say this. I love the little computer they built in this video and it has to be my favorite PC to come from this series.

[vilicles]

Props for being clearly nervous the ENTIRE time and still being entertaining!

[Neoxon]

I guess this could be the beginning of Intel Extreme Tech Downgrade. But hey, Matt worked hard for everyone else’s upgrades. It’s about time he got one of his own.

[Dragonmastersservant]

Protip for Matt: N64 emulation on the Wii Virtual Console is superior in quite literally every way to Nintendo Switch Online's emulation, please keep the homebrew Wii as your go-to machine :) A man of refined tastes.

[sketchy]

Really enjoy this series of videos. Matt is such a good addition to the team (he's probably been with you for a while but I was meaning channel wise). Can we get and Matt vs Sarah build off please!

[RidgeTechGaming]

Somehow the more I watch this the more I realize Linus has so many different employees that know how to push his buttons. And I love it

[BakersTuts]

Linus walking across the room without changing his face or posture at 17:00 killed me

I will say, I got into vinyl records around 2019, and my biggest joy about them is the stuff it comes with. Its kind of like getting a collectable from an artist you really like, and you can listen to it too. Thats how I see it at least. Its a collectible from a band I really enjoy, that comes with lots (or little) amounts of stuff, and I can listen to the album while I look at the stuff.

HOWEVER... if all you care about is sound, and only sound, a good digital setup is what I would go with. Vinyl is hit or miss. Several albums I have are fantastic on their own, but are terrible presses. Some will sound great for the first half, then slowly degrade as the needle gets to the middle. Some skip right out of the packaging. Some just sound terrible. There are some vinyls that sound great though. Some that sound better than digital. But then you get into the speakers youre using. Some speakers give vinyls a warmth that cant be replicated. But those speakers usually fail in other regards. Hunting down a GOOD press of an album you like can be an absolute nightmare

Basically, I see vinyls as a good way to support a band you like, get some cool collectables, and have a tangible experience while youre listening. But to get the best possible sound with no where near the hassle, I would go digital.

[dstranger]

I'm shocked he managed to squeeze a 4k 120 tv, iPad and whole new computer into a 5k budget

[rodericoromero]

Matt seems like a really kind soul, glad you guys gave him an upgrade and showed what one guy could do with 5 grand

[durchschnittlich]

We've seen Sarah build several computers now. I'm siding with you, Matt

[Bry.]

This is the best series of videos you've done. I love it when you give away stuff to your employees or other people. Just fun to watch.

[anon_y_mousse]

I would imagine that Matt's setup was even more janky than my own, but probably a lot more capable. I used a Raspberry Pi 3 for about 5 years as my sole computer. That was tough, at times, but a lot of fun. Had a wireless keyboard that used a dongle, not bluetooth, so it was almost as good as wired. Though browsing the web was absolutely excruciating. I miss the days when most websites worked properly with elinks.

[nickthaskater]

Props for using DeX so effectively! I use it everyday on my Note 10. It's shockingly capable, and I wish devs would embrace the potential by pushing more desktop class software to Android.

[WesCrockettCA]

Why would he not just buy a receiver and hook it up to the sound bar?! The idea of the speaker directly touching the record player is a bad idea too... Damn it, i'm one of them.

[PnikStudios]

16:41 Those Mackies are studio reference monitors. They are for getting a more flat audio signal which will give a mixing engineer a better idea of what the song will sound like on multiple( even crappy phone speakers). They arent really designed for listening back under the best circumstances. So yeah the $99 mackies are better for mixing, but you can probably get a better sound overall from a $50 set if you really shopped around.

nice to see someone else from Winnipeg it's really hard to find us anywhere on the internet unless you're looking for us
