Which laptop should Matt pick? Me: Watching eating $2 ramen because norhing is a dollar anymore.* He should choose the white one.

Craxy i am 26 and i remember when a soda was 50-75 cents

I'm kind of in the same situation. I have a really awesome gaming PC. I also have a iPhone 15 pro max, along with a iPad mini 6, and a Samsung Tab S8+ with 5g. Each piece has it's uses, work uses my phone and iPad more than any other, but when I need connectivity I can't go wrong with my Tab S8+. I received the iPad as a gift and it's just so useful for notes and tracking my tasks at work. My Tab S8+ is my go to gaming/streaming device when I'm out and about or out of town. I can't really give these up!

. Matt: doesn't work Ike a Mac, also Matt: it's basically the same

I agree with having both. As a tech person of any kind, it’s good to understand multiple operating systems and devices, for Matt the two devices he chose are different enough in many ways to be used for different purposes. As an IT student myself, I have a MacBook for coursework, surface book for on the go windows tasks, and a windows gaming laptop that I use for 3D work and gaming, and I also have both Android and iPhone for my smartphones, I may be indecisive, but I see it as being inclusive of all technology.

I'm using a Lenovo V14 Gen 3 with AMD Ryzen 5 5625U I upgraded to a 1TB NVME SSD, and 24GB of RAM running Manjaro Gnome Linux, The hell with Apple, or Microsoft, and if I need to be ultra portable with long battery life, I have a Nokia t20 tablet running Android 13 that I use with a Jelly Comb bluetooth keyboard that acts as a stand. my whole portable setup cost me under 600 bucks.

@@ZZ-vl5nd Thanks, and I agree, I might get 8 hours, or so out of my tablet, and that's good enough for me, as a USB C charger is never too far away from me for most of my days, and if my phone last through a day I'm good, as I can charge overnight while I sleep, and not using my phone.

I picked up an Acer Swift Edge 16". 3840X2400 OLED with Ryzen 7 7th, 16gb ram and 1tb for $480!!!! Got it on the Acer refurbished eBay store. This thing is a beast and this screen is the best I've ever seen on a laptop

1:54 hey he said my name 😂

Matt into that upside down pineapple lifestyle 😂

The surface book 2 with linux-surface is the only option laptop wise for me now lol. Touch screen, pen support, swapping the keyboard can get you a gpu if you absolutely need it. The only issues are that it really sucks to fix if anything internal goes bad and it has no fans in the tablet section.

I'm rocking the G14 and I couldn't be happier with it for work and gaming! XD

I've got a Samsung fold, so I don't need a tablet with 5G as that's basically what the fold is. I have a Steam Deck for most of my gaming and Linux desktop needs and I use a M2 MacBook Air for most web browsing and certain games (BG3. I'm talking about BG3) to save storage space on my Steam Deck. A MacBook is way overkill for just web browsing and media consumption, but it had the best battery life and is useful when I need to do something requiring a fully functional operating system unlike, say, a Chromebook or a tablet OS, so I don't need to bring out another device. I have an M1 iPad Air, but that's almost entirely used as a drawing tablet.

I have a regular PC rig Ryzen 9 5900x and an RTX 3080 and then for a laptop i have the Framework 13in Intel 11th gen (b-stock) running Linux Ubuntu. I can log into my PC rig from the Framework using Moonlight to edit video in Resolve and play games.

"im just going to use both" is 100% a cop out answer. To scared to move away from the mac but knows that the mac and apple products as a whole are "dirty to use" (Not the best thing to support and encourage). Dude is defintntly going to use the mac at least twice as much as the surface.

I also like the color teal, Matt. Good choice! Good job This Is team!

should check out the minisforum V3

I use an msi gaming laptop for more intense applications or basically as my main laptop. But for other normal things i have a 2012 macbook air with macos catalina on it that i got for free from my aunt. So that works pretty good as well.

They hung the pay phone!

I love my M2 Pro MacBook. Went to Mac during Mac OS X Lion 10.7. and have been using different Gens ever since...If I want to play hard core games.. my Windows 11 Desktop is fine.. everything else.. my Mac or a Windows VM for some things for work related.

Why not the new zenbook s 16. It has pen support and is very lightweight. Its air vents are on the keyboard. It will have much better graphical performance than the Snapdragons. It also has a 120 htz OLED.

dex with a monitor, keyboard, mouse. fold or ultra have pen support. remote into more powerful pc when you need it..... embrace the future

I wonder if he tried detaching the surface and using the keyboard separately when sitting down. Like detaching the surface setting it down on the coffe table or anything infront of you (if there's a surface to rest it on) and using the keyboard in his lap. I heard that's really convenient.

Right now im using an MSI prestige A13M, not my ideal laptop ever but really great deal $800 for 13th gen i7, 16gb ram, 256gb ssd (second ssd slot is open) - Very light - Pretty darn good keyboard - Amazing touchpad - Decent screen (having a dead-pixel esque issue though) - Very good for outdoors - Very bad motion - Very good colours - Very Meh build quality but its repairable - Very portable My ideal laptop would probably be an xps 13/macbook but with more ports

Asus rog x13 is a small portable convertible 2 in 1 gaming laptop 13 inches with a 3050ti-3080 gpu with the 3050ti coming with a very small 100w power brick

lol, I’ve switched back to a MacBook again. I had a ROG Flow z13, but I needed a better laptop for editing videos and also because I want to go back to Final Cut after being botched by Adobe for the past five years

I love matt, he's so funny

I've got a gaming PC at my desk 12900k, rx 6900 xt etc etc.... And then I have my M3 Pro 14" MacBook Pro for everywhere else. I think it's a good balance. Oh and if I need light Windows gaming on the go; theres Parallels for that.

I use a surface 7 plus for drawing and its great!

Xpg Xenia 14 is the absolute best 14 inch for portability and upgrading.

Would you guys suggest buying one of the snapdragon laptops as a mechanical engineering major? My biggest worry is no dedicated graphics card

The perfect laptop must have a disc drive.

Been using a MacBook Pro M2 13 inch and a Panasonic let’s note NX4

I've been in the market for years now as well. It just so happened to line up with the Snapdragon launch. I'm definitely looking for a non-16:9 aspect ratio, and haptic trackpad. I really hope this is a turning point for Windows laptops. I'm tired of manufacturers making garbage laptops. I'm tired of x86 inefficiencies. I'm tired of low RAM devices. With that said, I've narrowed it down to the Surface Laptop 7 and Lenovo Yoga. The Surface has haptic but only 16GB RAM. The Yoga has 32GB, but no haptic. Both are about the same price. I'm leaning towards the Yoga since it's designed to be an AI machine, so I'll need as much RAM as I can get. Plus there's a touchscreen, so maybe non-haptic trackpad won't be so bad. All the reviews I've seen barely cover it, but when they do, they say it's pretty good. Let's hope so. Also, let's have sunk be the official past tense of sync for tech.

Im Currently happy with Razerblade 15 (with a Rtx 3060) atm even though i think i wanna upgrade to a desktop that can do alot more graphically

What happened to the LINUX monitor?!!!

i could have sworn i heard Matt say in a few videos that he daily's a surface tablet?

What do you think of Framework Laptop 13?

I have committed to my gaming power house for the time being. I used MacBooks all my life and for work I still have a decent M1 Pro 16". But I was having high hopes for the ARM / Qualcomm and slowly but surely I see that they are just not at "that" level yet. I understand hyped up, but I also do not want to commit to another investment into a MacBook Air 15" M3 as we are waiting for the M4 to come out in the fall, I rather save my rupees and buy one then.

Here’s the funny part…M1 Air and a Surface Pro X. Those are my dailies. The Pro X for the pen and LTE connectivity and the Air for everything else. My nightly rig however, is definitely a Windows gaming system lol

The perfect laptop for Matt is the surface book with the the new snapdragon chip. Doesn't exist

Matt is great!

The surface looks nice and have always had a great build, but.. I really don’t like the built-in stand / keyboard set-up - the iPad Pro and magic keyboard combo is much more useful and has a smaller footprint. The surface pro would be the only windows device that could get me interested, but that formfactor has to change. Furthermore, while I sometimes like my ipad to be a bit more like my mac, the tablet function and apps on the surface don’t even come close to what the ipad has to offer (newspaper apps, magazines, e-reader,… the surface is just not a useful tablet.

Honestly I am the same as matt, I carry a mac and a light windows machine around with me everywhere.

For work I just got the latest high end Surface Pro laptop with co pilot+. I also used a Surface Pro 8 quite a bit in the past so I may consider getting the 11 in the near future. For portable gaming I have a separare Asus ROG laptop with a 4050 Nvidia inside and 32GB RAM and I love my ROG ALLY! For Matt: The new surface laptops are amazing too and I like them better than Macbooks. Matt should get the latest Surface 11 when 5G comes out with it and then get the latest surface Pro laptop with copilot+ He will love them both!!

That couch tablet lapdesk work situation will definitely kill your back etc. after a bit. I guess you haven't hit 30 yet? Also, I don't understand people who use their laptops on battery on the daily, at a desk. You're getting an inferior experience on most, it'll clock down etc.

I might buy a surface now

I'm in the camp of having a Mac laptop and a PC desktop.

How is an ipad pro with a magic keyboard any more portable than a macbook air?!?

Hello and welcome to This Is

Matt can't give up the Mac...shocking.

0:45 matt said he got an msi and said it was the worst laptop he ever used, I've used dozens of gaming laptops over the past 20 years and I currently own an msi gaming laptop which is the best laptop ever in terms of features, thermal design and laptop thinness 🤔

Love just watching the view count grow

guess he hasnt seen the Thin and Light Business Esk Gaming Laptop xD

“It does have active cooling” brother that’s not gonna help me play cyberpunk at 1080p ultra settings 120hz

Solution to Matt's iPad Photoshop woes... Just switch to Affinity apps (photo, designer, publisher) they are as far as I can tell just as fully featured as the desktop versions and bonus points, no subscription

nah bro why is logic reviewing laptops😭

Disagree with ports take by Matt. Please don't justify less ports in the name of "convivence". You can have 4 TP C ports with an USB port as well as microsd port
