This video was not helpful and the music is awful while trying to listen
My budget is $150
Ew chromebook 🤮
Great lifesaver but I feel like the music drowns your description, not that the music is bad I just couldn't focus on your description, I usually just listen to videos while walking or doing something else.
No used laptop category!??
Shame
The music is too loud and distracting.
I admire a man who has the confidence to wear that ear-ring with that sweater.
The video was annoying – your personal agenda is not needed here. I had respect for PC mag for 20 years until seeing this video.
Just tap into a wave of company rollouts and get their old stuff. As Intel has been selling 14nm i5's from 2015-2021, a 2015 model is usually as good as a 2021 one and still more than enough for a student needing long battery life. Dell is great for self repair, Apple for display tech and overall refinement. So best bets are ex company Dell Latitudes or a MacBook Pro 2015. Both are around 250 bucks, beating any budget option in this video.
I asked budget not get me broke
Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 14 has only 4GB ram which makes it totally useless for even web browsing with more than 3 tabs open
bad video
Personally I’m not dropping $400 on a laptop let alone a band
I bought an apple laptop about 4-5 years ago and I was hugely disappointed as it stopped working last year . I’m needing a new laptop to help with my game capturing that is powerful to handle it ❤️ What would you suggest ? I don’t want to be spending silly money again on a laptop and just stops working
SOME PERFORMANCE IS GOOD ENOUGH! SOOOME (disco music intensifies 🎶)
Decent video, important topic. A little too obvious he's reading a teleprompter from the starts and stops, could use better cadence. Still overall decent.
The laptops are ok, but that sweatshirt is fire!!!🔥
Hi your gaming laptop in the video says 3060 but the link in description is for 3050 so which one is it?
i went on the link for the MSI Katana GF66 11UE-628AU Black 15.6INCH CORE I7 16GB 512GB RTX3060 W11H Gaming Laptop
but it only showed MSI Katana GF66 11UE-628AU Black 15.6INCH CORE I5 16GB 512GB RTX3060 W11H Gaming Laptop
At least you didn’t recommend any with a Celeron n4020, 4gb ram and tiny ssd.
God I hate music in info videos.
Psalms 111:10 (KJV) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endures for ever.
Buy a used Thinkpad off eBay. That is the best budget laptop of any year
@Gamer fleet found your clone
Everyone's like: this guy probably knows what he's doing.
This guy looks like a freshman presenting in front of his class
“Many ring up under $500” * only one was under $500”
