Next video, 10 best freezers for your X Elite Laptop?

[Jeannemarre]

Building condensation, avoid doing this if it’s your laptop

[DavidClaux]

Your coverage of the X Elite has really been outstanding.

[hoangbaonguyenvan]

putting a laptop in a freezer to get more performance is the most bizarre thing I've heard this year

[SanezChannel]

!!!WARNING!!!
Don’t ever do this to your laptop. It may die because of the condensation forming inside

[piqone]

I hate it when people do stuff like this. It's like advertising a Mustang with 300 horsepower and then governing it down to 240

[rockstillnow]

keep them in front of an AC, we need that AC vs non AC.

[akyhne]

It's not healthy for any CPU or GPU, to run at 107°C. It shortens the lifetime of the chip. Doesn't matter who makes the chip.

[eilegz]

based on the criteria and what OEM have done, the inconsistency of the benchmark prove that at this point just get the cheapeast snapdragon x plus model and set it to best battery, for normal uses would be great and would be a great casual experience with all the benefits.

[folteaiustin]

Now try this with the macbook air. That would be cool!

[comrade_rahul_]

Boss: Can you complete this work for me quickly?
Me: Yeah, let me find a freezer to sit inside and work boss.

[jackbauer]

Oh my !!! rigor is back !!! THANK YOU !!! and thanks to Alex Z for his work !!!

[aelaan]

Why not test the 15" Surface 7 laptop? I bet you that one will hit closer to the top performer.

[technikstein]

There is a simple reason why the Samsung is slower, they just have a hide different power setting that you could change over the terminal

[trippplefive]

“there is no reason for them to throttle speeds at low temps” how do you know? are you a cpu engineer at qualcomm?

[GadgetsArise]

Just use a laptop cooling pad with multiple fans instead of putting the laptops into the freezer.

[magnetsandmushrooms]

Great finding. I had to put my old Intel Mac in the freezer to get it to boot

[KevinArogunmati]

Imagine the VivoBook S15 had the 84 SKU. The performance will be dope, cause of fan control.
I still cannot believe that Samsung will try to reduce fan noise to be as quiet as Apple's MacBook, but due to that, it loses performance and is slower, just crack up the fan, lad. Make it loud and give us the performance you advertised, I don't care if it's loud, just don't let the fan crack up for no good reason when I am watching a Youtube video.

[alphabasic]

Really interesting video. It seems to me the big issue is that the laptop manufacturers are limiting the fans (not entirely sure why).

[norules]

I have a suggestion try to get a TEC Thermo Electric cooler and you can test rest on open environment. Which will help better understanding about the temperature and its limit.
