  1. I used to work at Apple Retail: they do price matching at the retail stores IF you can show them the price of the brick and mortar listing of a competing offer (meaning no Amazon, but matches Best Buy if itโ€™s an in store offer). If youโ€™re a college student, thatโ€™s also a discount (though it doesnโ€™t stack)

  2. I was looking on Lenovo’s website and I was so confused at how ridiculous the prices were. I thought I was looking at the wrong laptops but no, they’re just ridiculously priced.

  3. I work from home for three customer service companies and sometimes I have up to 50 tabs in different browsers open and working on them, I do a lot of work in Microsoft Office in all its tools. For a person like me who doesn’t edit photos or videos but demands a lot from my labtop, what suggestions do you have for people like me? Sometimes we focus a lot on recommendations for video and image content editors. I would be deeply grateful if you could bring some information for people like me. Thank you and much success ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. Just discovered this channel – outstanding! Lots of relevant detail without the chatter. Great to find a reviewer who has used a laptop for more than a handful of days, and tracks models across may years. I’ve binged a few like it’s a Netflix show.

  5. Iโ€™m going to college for mechanical engineering and I have a budget of around 800-900$ and I was looking at the zenbook 14 with the r7 8840hs do you think that it will be strong enough for what Iโ€™m going to be doing?

  6. Thank you for saving my $400 on my New 14" M3-Pro MacBook Pro that I just picked after I cracked my 14" M1 Pro and realize that my apple care lapsed.

  7. I posted a comment regarding pen issues on your previous Snapdragon X video, but for some reason itโ€™s not showing up.

  8. How come you haven’t shot a video including the dell g 16 , since it’s considered a good buy for its price. Would be very interested in your opinion ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. I realize U and HS are basically the same in AMD’s case, so this is a nitpick, but 8840HS isn’t exactly the same as last year’s 7840HS – it’s the same as 7840U. AMD themselves have confirmed this on their site. 7840HS’ "successor" (read, rebrand) is 8845HS.

  10. Just recently stumbled across this channel and I gotta say, I love the honesty and the solid Advice. Keep on going. ๐Ÿ‘

  11. Is 16" Galaxy book 4 pro @ 1100 dollar a good deal?
    Core Ultra 5, 16gb, 512 gb
    Or should I consider snapdragon x elite one?
    Thanks in advance!

  12. Alright, Lenovo really think that we are morons. Stay happy and blessed all you morons ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  13. I want to buy an laptop to start coding and I’ve been looking to macbook air m3 but only have 8gb ram. Do you guys have another option with good battery life for coding?

  14. @JustJosh between the surface laptop 7 13.8 x elite and the intel hp Spectre 14 2024 which is on sale for $1399.99 which should i buy for web browsing and watching video

  15. I’m about to buy the G16 2024 from back to school sales that just started ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป gonna finally upgrade my potato laptop that’s literally crumbling apart

  16. I need a laptop to make contents on and to watch Netflix etc that has a hdmi chord so I can connect it to my TV. I donโ€™t play games or anything. Please give me options on what laptops I can buy. Thank you.
    I also donโ€™t know much or anything about laptops ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜ฌ welp!

  17. I’ve always been afraid to buy Open-Box products, but I ended up getting my Asus G14 as excellent Open-Box quality, and it ended up being a great choice – the laptop was in like new condition, the seal on the box was just broken and the wrapping on the laptop was removed. A note on the box just said the laptop wasn’t what the previous owner was looking for. Great way to save up to a few hundred dollars if you ask me, especially if you have the time/patience!

  18. My only 16" options:
    G16 – sexy but loud, lower TDP 4080, and expensive.
    Pro 7i – best performance (amongst my choices), hate the lightbar and numpad (65% keeb user).
    7i – looks better than pro 7i, but only 4070 and numpad and no ethernet.

    At this point, I might as well just give up and buy a ThinkPad P1 Gen 7. Most expensive and least gpu capable, but everything is amazing and lasts the longest amongst all of em.

  19. I really thank you Josh for these tips and the effort you put in to your videos. Your recommendations have helped me save a lot.

  20. How about warranty? Should i take 4 year warranty? should i pay for an extra warranty? sealed battery?

  21. Hey josh
    Whats the most important thing to have in a laptop ๐Ÿ’ป when your use case is heavy downloading daily through torrents .
    Multiple web tabs open always
    And Multiple apps open
    And media players open
    2d video editing
    Daily
    How much ram
    Ssd etc

  22. Should I be waiting for Black Friday sales? is there any significant difference between the normal sales and the Black Friday sales??

  23. Does your site list the price history for the laptop? Say you see a Zenbook for $100 off but your sites says wait a minute, that laptop is usually $300 off so hold off for a better sale if you can.

  24. Josh is right about Macs as usual. They hold value after years plus they keep marching for 5+ years easily. I used my last Mac for 6 years without any problem. I still have it. I Bought Macbook Pro 14 M1 pro base model in March 2022 because of Josh’s recommendation. It works perfectly and will stay with me for 6+ years just like the last one.

    The last one was the Intel Mac with only 1 fan, it ran hotter. My current M1 Mac has 2 fans in it and I can’t hear them no matter how hard I try eavesdropping on it ๐Ÿ˜€
