We all know how hard it is for Valve to count to three, so its no surprise that SteamOS 3 is still only available for the Steam Deck. But Linus is impatient. Is SteamOS 3 ‘ready enough’ for him?

AMD just announced a TON of new products at CES! I’m talkin’ new Zen 4 and Zen 5 mobile and desktop processors, alongside the new RX 9070. AI, Max+ Pro, X3D, RDNA 4, handheld gaming chips… the gang’s all here!

We’ve roasted your PCs online before, but what better way to roast them than in person at NVIDIA’s GeForce LAN 50 - celebrating 25 years of GeForce GPUs.

Dell is going through a MAJOR change in 2025. The XPS, Inspiron, Latitude, etc. naming scheme is out. In comes Dell, Dell Pro, and Dell Pro Max to take their place. Join us as we take a sneak peek at these new laptops while we explain the changes to you.

Nvidia announced a TON of cool stuff at their keynote last night, from robotics partnerships to digital twins and Cosmos. But what I was excited about, was of course the new RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, and 5070 launch details. And then I was even MORE excited when I got to try the 5090 and DLSS 4 for myself.

Join Linus as he explores the all new ROG XG Mobile powered NVIDIA 50-series, an updated ROG Zephyrus, the Flow Z13 gaming tablet powered by the all new AMD AI Max+ 395 with Radeon, AND MORE at CES 2025!

Linus and Alex visited the Hisense and Samsung booths at CES and checked out their new TV offerings.

Linus, Jake, Alex, Plouffe, and Luke found EVERY RTX 5090 from AIB manufacturers at CES 2025 like ASUS, Zotac, MSI, Gigabyte, and NVIDIA!

Linus checks out the Pimax Crystal Super and the Shiftall MeganeX superlight 8K at CES 2025 and decides whether either of these products will be his next VR purchase.

CES 2025 has a lot of crazy tech, and we were invited to check out five different brands to get a hands on experience with their new products. Join Linus as he goes from booth to booth looking at things from robot vacuums to 3D printers and more.

Yep it’s true, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the first game that was developed from the ground up to use Ray Tracing… not just as an OPTION to make the lighting a little more realistic… but as a core - REQUIRED - component of the game. Does that mean every game’s FPS is gonna suffer? Or are we going to enter a golden age of Ray Traced Bliss where we can no longer tell the difference between reality and the metaverse? Do we all need NEW Graphics Cards?

A few years ago we built a sick portable storage machine to help us handle footage and edit when travelling for shows like CES or Computex, it just had one fatal flaw - being too heavy! In this video, we show you how we replaced that $20,000 large Portable NAS with a brand new, smaller, and lighter machine based on the Minisforum MS-01.

Nintendo finally ANNOUNCED the Switch 2, and even though it might SEEMthey were light on details, there is a TON of Info - both in the video itself and rumors that have been MOSTLY confirmed. New Joycons: Check. SPECS: check. Will this beat the P S5 and Xbox? Probably, with all-time great franchises like Mario, Zelda and Smash leading the way. We break down everything we know and friends, we can’t wait till the April 2 Direct.

Celebrities like Russell Brand, the UFC and Tiki Barber are trying to get you to buy an expensive amulet that will protect you from 5G and Wifi. But does their amulet even do anything? And do you even have to be worried about 5G radiation?

After more than 2 years, the 4090 is finally getting a successor. But is the new Blackwell architecture going to bring improvements over Ada Lovelace? Or is it all just AI magic? It's a bit of both. Join us as we delve into the world of Neural Rendering and DLSS 4 with the latest generation of Nvidia graphics. Is AMD cooked? Will Intel even be on the charts? I'm not gonna tell you here. Scroll up and watch the video!

What cool tech does the LTT staff have at home? Well we asked some of them to come in and show off their coolest gear! No traditional computers or games, but we show off Drones, Record players, Cars, and a paintbrush?

This is the ULTIMATE showdown of game controllers that we missed in our last video; we’ve got over 20 remotes and we’re trying to find which is THE BEST! What has the lowest input latency? Which has key features like Hall Effect Sticks and Triggers? Which feels comfiest? Which is the best for the budget? We’re covering it all, and including a handy tier list.

Check out some of the rigs our team members have at home! Whether it's strictly for gaming, storing Linux ISOs, or messing around with AI, we're here to show off the computers we're proud of.

Nvidia's follow-up to the RTX 4080 Super is finally here! But does the new Blackwell Architecture impress? The 5090 wasn't the best thing on the planet. But hey, so long as we're still waiting for AMD's 9070 XT and Intel to have any competition in the high end... well i guess this is what we get.

Five people CLAIM they are PC gamers, but one of them is LYING. In this reality tv style format, 2 people compete to identify the imposter by asking the hard questions and slowly eliminating them 1 by 1. Are they in Jeopardy? Who is going to be the Weakest Link? And will YOU be able to identify the Console Gamer before the Hosts do? PLAY ALONG AT HOME!

Our FIRST reality competition series AND NOW ITS ONE BIG FREAKING VIDEO! Luke and Linus go head 2 head to build the ultimate gaming PC for $300 bucks in 48 hours, meaning they gotta be cheap with all their components, like GPU and CPU. Find the deals to claim the crown. But things never go as expected, do they? It's hard to remember when we shot this like 10 years ago… so retro.

Old TVs are huge.. But what if you used that space for modern hardware? Well that is exactly what we did, cramming every relevant console into an old rear projection TV.. and 1200W of speakers for good measure.

Remember the Woremor RF Blocking Paint we tested last year? WELP Elijah decided to volunteer his apartment to test out if this paint can be used to BLOCK his neighbors WIFI to see if we can improve his! So join us as we install an ASUS router and break out the paint rollers to paint Elijah’s apartment pitch black…

Linus has become so use to switching phones, that its time we brought in some fresh meat! We asked 3 iPhone users in our office to willingly switch to Android for 1 whole month. Will the more bothered by the switch, or if Android really that "terrible" of an operating system?

With Tiktok, PH, and many other services being blocked and restricted in various parts of the world, the question of how to use and setup a VPN is more important than every, and today, we show you what might be the easiest way to run your own private VPN server - or how to use one of the public ones.

We like to think that tech, for the most part, is pretty cool! But sometimes, it's just the most frustrating thing. We're here to whine and moan about all the minor nuisances that modern tech presents.

Happy New Year! Well, Chinese New Year! To celebrate we asked our friends from China, Taiwan, and even some BiliBili Creators to send over their gaming setups and battlestations for Jake, Linus, and Andy to roast! Let us know which setup you like best!

The RTX 5090 is a ludicrously expensive monster of a graphics card. How good is it when it comes to 8K gaming?

What happens when you double down on a product instead of giving up when your competitors beat you to market? You get RCA’s VideoDisc player! That’s right, movies on vinyl discs, what could go wrong?

Nvidia shambles its way to its latest 50 series release: The 5070 Ti. Will this be the one to impress? Find out in our review.

The iPhone 16e is here, and it's replacing the old SE line from Apple. It's... the same size. And has most of the same features as the iPhone 16. But it's $200 cheaper! But it's more expensive than the 2022 SE...

The RTX 5090 is a beast but it's incredibly expensive. Meanwhile, video games are releasing in poorly optimized states, making it harder to run at higher resolutions with higher settings. Is a better experience worth two THOUSAND dollars?

Recently Linus switched to an iPhone and… didn’t love it. So he’s doubling down and getting an Apple laptop and desktop as well to see if his problem with the iPhone was just that he hadn’t bought enough other Apple products.

Framework just announced a bunch of new devices and we got to check them out early!

It might be the best time ever to build an ultra budget gaming PC (from used parts). For the price of a single AAA Video Game, you can put together an incredible computer capable of playing modern games with very playable performance. But how do you do it? What CPU, RAM, GPU (graphics card) do you need? Is a sub $100 dollar machine actually possible?

Wow, AMD. It may have taken Nvidia screwing up the RTX 50 series launch, but with the prices and performance you showed us today, you might just have a shot at gaining ground in the graphics card wars with the new Radeon RX 9070 XT.

It’s been eight long years since Luke ruined lunch with his attempt to built a Pizza Warming PC. Is it finally time for redemption?

Welp, It's here!.... That's all we have to really say about the RTX 5070. It's the newest graphics card by NVIDIA, and it renders frames, and traces rays! Unfortunately, not to our recommendation or hopes, but if you still want one. We wont stop ya!

It's finally here. After the terrible launch of the 5090, followed by the terrible launch of the RTX 4080, followed by the terrible launch of the 5070 Ti, followed by the terrible launch of Nvidia's RTX 5070. We FINALLY have a new GPU from AMD in the form the the 9070 XT and 9070. Built on RDNA4 this new generation of team red GPUS looks to bring the hurt to both Nvidia and Intel. But how much hurt, and where will it hurt the most? Find out in our review.

Apple announced some updates to its product lineup on March 5th, 2025. Some are excited, and others are... Not so exciting. Linus walks you through everything that you need to know from Apple's announcements!

We’ve looked at some VERY disappointing Computers from Walmart. But maybe we should have skipped the Pre-Builts and bought individual parts to build a NEW GAMING PC. Yes that’s right, you can buy all kinds of PC components from your local Walmart (for now). But let's be real, should you? To find out, we spent one thousand dollars for all the parts (like a CPU, GPU, RAM) we need to build a complete gaming rig for under $1000.

A high end GPU for less than 50% the going rate? Of course it’s a scam! But there’s so many safeguards in place these days, how could the scammer hope to keep your money?

Do you really need to spend $100 or more to get a decent gaming mouse? Our Lab uncovered some Razer clones on AliExpress for less than HALF that price of the real thing. But are they any good?

Now that Bambu Printers may be harder to recommend after their latest update, what 3D printer should Linus buy next? To find out we asked Jake and some other youtubers (Jeff Geerling, William Osman, and Camden Bowen) to show off their Prusa, Elegoo, and more different printers!

Power Supply Circuit - our new PSU channel - has been hard at work testing power supplies for a while now and it turns out some PSU manufacturers have not exactly been honest.

Nvidia's RTX Remix is a powerful tool, but it still takes developers and modders a lot of work to visually modernize old games with it. Orbifold Studio has been hard at work creating Half-Life 2 RTX, and the demo is finally here! How does it look compared to the original?

It is the best selling laptop on Amazon, but why? Price? Performance? Build? Well.. given the best seller is just $169 I think you can guess.

It’s no wonder GeForce RTX 50-series Founder’s Edition power connectors are melting, what with nVidia insisting on using tiny little connectors, and THEN making matters worse by wiring them up in a way sure to make an electronics engineer cringe. We joked on the WAN show that someone should just use an XT60 connector to solve the problem!

AND WE ARE BACK AGAIN! Season 3 of AMD Ultimate Tech Upgrades kicks off now! In this AMD Ultimate $5000 Tech Upgrade, we get dirty, we build some fast computers, and best of all, Arthur hooks up his mom with the sickest laser printer on the market.

Did you know Red Dragon makes more than keyboards? They Make Cases, Mice, Power Supplies and Coolers. And it turns out that some of it may be better than you think. We’re building a complete budget gaming setup, including everything you would need to stream and play all the best games out there.

How does Linus Tech Tips make Money? Is it selling computers, making videos, selling merch, or is he running an illegal underground math business? Join the whole team as they break down every income stream and tell us exactly how Linus gets paid!

Some people forget that there's a lot more to computers than gaming rigs and web browsing on a bigger screen. That's where the r/homelab subreddit comes in! Whether you want to run multiple virtual machines on a single system, experiment with Kubernetes through smart home automation, or just repurpose old hardware into your own server, this group can offer a TON of inspiration and encouragement.

It's been 1 Month since our 3 iPhone users switched to Android! How did it work out? Was using a Samsung or Google phone better? Will they go back to their iPhone? Watch to Find out!

The second season of our original PC-building reality series is back from 2015 – and it's BIGGER, WETTER, and in ONE VIDEO. Luke and Linus face off with a twist: they each have a $500 budget, but this time, they MUST water cool their rigs… using no off-the-shelf PC cooling gear. Junkyard radiators? Fish tank pumps? Soda bottle reservoirs? All fair game.

If it ain’t broke, remake and remaster and re-release it. We’re taking one of our most popular videos of all time and UPPING THE SCALE TIMES 1 MILLION. Yeah that’s right, they say toys are for boys, and that means that big trucks are for BIG BOYS. We bought a real water pumpin’ firetruck, baby! But what can we do with it? Can we figure out how to even turn it on?

The Intel Arc B580 is supposed to be GREAT value, IF you can buy one at MSRP... But have all of the Alchemist kinks been worked out? Are your games going to run? Is 4K "playable" with upscaling? David and Plouffe are downgrading from 90-class cards for a month to find out.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming on June 5th with a price of $450. But besides a few disappointments, this may have been one of the strongest console showcases I’ve EVER seen. We got details on the hardware itself, new online features and most importantly - a LOT of GAMES. Zelda, Mario Kart, Kirby, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk and SO MANY MORE HOLY SMOKES THERE ARE SO MANY GAMES!

Linus flew all the way down to Austin Texas to check out the Ultimate LAN Gaming House! Packed full of gaming PC's, networking, and even a Cat Bathroom! What goes into making a LAN House? How much did it cost?

Everyone has been saying you should buy AMD’s Ryzen 7 5700X3D if you’re building a budget gaming rig. But who wants to pay for a Computer that is out of date before you add it to your cart? What if I told you there were SECRET gaming CPUs that go blow for blow with the 5700X3D (at least one of them does!), are AM5, AND most importantly are CHEAPER. Meet the AMD Ryzen 5 7500f and the 8400f. We sent it, AND ANOTHER possible secret budget king through the LABS gauntlet, to find out if AMD has been hiding the best value in gaming.

Eight years ago we looked at a super cool prototype case… now after everyone involved got scammed they’ve finally delivered the first cases to consumers. Does the Streacom SG10 live up to its hefty price tag? Let's find out!

The "million-dollar PC" isn't just powerful—it’s practically a space heater. With 9 servers pushing 7-8kW of heat, the LTT server room needed a serious cooling upgrade. The team went from cardboard ducts and salvaged towers to crafting a custom “water door” using old radiators, barbs, and a whole lot of trial and error. Will it leak? Will it work? Let’s find out.

What happens when you give a fashion designer $5000 to upgrade their tech? Well today we find out in Bridget’s AMD Upgrade!

Handy Tech Under $100 is BACK and we bought 7 tech products to add to your arsenal. Ranging from Lights, to stickers, to Microphones, and even a fix for your favorite controller!

I've been to many malls, but I don't think i've been to a mall quite like Plaza Low Yat in Malaysian. It's full of so much cool stuff! And has a shocking number of Nvidia GPUs. Join me as I try to buy an HDMI adapter.

We wanted to review the new RTX 5060 and RTX 5060Ti, the problem was Nvidia didn't send us any... Makes it kind of tough to make a review about. So instead we decided to rant about the ENTIRE 50 series launch and how it has frustrated not just consumers, but reviewers as well.

It's 2025 and, with the current state of the PC market we decided to secret shop EIGHT different system integrators. In our first episode we'll be ordering the computers and rating the sales teams from Dell, iBuyPower, Cyber Power, HP, Starforge, Maingear, Lenovo, and Origin!

Linus needs to get his pool ready for a pool party but is overwhelmed with just how much stuff he has to do! Thats why Beatbot sent over their Aquasense 2 Ultra to help Linus clean the pool. Featuring a lot of tech - sensors, cameras, motors and more - This little robot does a pretty dang good job at cleaning his pool. But who is faster?

Sure you can buy an AIO cooler, or maybe a Noctua Air Cooler, or maybe you are a Cooler Master guy, I don't judge. Maybe you could use LN2 for maximum overclocking, or maybe you're only thinking in one dimension. We put a cooler on the back of the motherboard to see if it is the solution no one is talking about.

Video Games have changed. We all have TONS of core memories of gaming as a kid: taking turns at a desktop with a friend, saving up the budget and buying a game with my own money - or pulling an all-nighter to unlock that last secret character …but can I TRUST my memories? Were games really better when I was coming up, or do kids today have it better- even with all their loot boxes, giant downloads, and horse armour? Are console and PC games the same? We’re putting nostalgia to the ultimate test and bringing in some fresh eyes to help me shatter my rose colored glasses: 8 young people will be playing some of the games that shaped Linus into the Gamer you see standing before you today.

Can you believe this high school student made a custom ARM laptop over his summer break? We invited Byran Huang to join us a give us a closer look at his amazing Anyon_e open- source DIY laptop!

What happens when you connect a Fire Truck to a PC water cooling loop? Well given PC water cooling fittings are rated for about 8psi and the Fire Truck can do over 200psi… I think you can see where this is going.

Building a PC with only broken parts... what could go wrong? Alex and the team gamble $2,600 on non-working CPUs, GPUs, RAM, motherboards, SSDs, and coolers to see if they can resurrect enough pieces to build functioning gaming computers. Was it worth it?

Now that our six computers have arrived, let's open 'em up and take a look at what's inside! How long did shipping take? Is anything broken? Did we get what we paid for?

This challenge took a lot longer than a month because it turns out the B580 is a perfectly cromulent graphics card, provided you're pairing it with a capable CPU. After 30 days, David and Plouffe just sort of kept going, but did either of them keep the Intel Battlemage GPU?

It started out as idle speculation. How many Anti-Virus programs could we cram onto a Windows PC without it crashing? More thawe’ve got a dozen or so installed, do we really WANT to use the system anymore?

You've seen some of our staff members spend AMD's money wisely, and you've seen some of them spend it poorly, but I don't think anyone would have guessed that Jamie from logistics would blow this much of his budget on model trains.

Linus has built his home into a tech paradise... PCs, 10-gig networking, screens everywhere, but frequent power outages keep spoiling the fun. But, we're thrifty, so why not make a Tesla-based DIY home battery backup solution? Will these scrapped Model S battery modules finally keep his house online during outages, or will he regret letting Jake tackle this?

What if we told you the BEST PC cooling solution might already be in your house? All you need is some dryer ducting, a bunch of 3D printed parts, a standard air conditioner, and... on second thought, maybe this isn’t our greatest idea after all.

ave you ever found something online and thought “I could totally make that” That’s what we thought when we saw these wall-mounted arcade machines, so we’re putting our money where our mouth is and seeing if we can pull it off! Have we bitten off more than we can chew?

Way back in 2022, Splave, one of the world's top overclockers, showed us the absolute fastest gaming computer. A lot has happened in the PC world in the past three years, so let's find out what the FASTEST gaming PC looks like in 2025.

It's time for tech support, and this season it was a doozy... we laughed, we cringed, we even almost cried as support technicians succeed and failed to fix our problem: an unseated GPU.

When Linus was a young lad, Linus loved using Super PI, a benchmark that calculates PI (who would have thought). Back in the day, he could only calculate 32 million digits of PI, but that was with an old Athlon CPU. Find out how many we can calculate now with the help of KIOXIA (it's a lot).

Microsoft partnered with us to celebrate its 50th birthday. And what better way to celebrate than to build a sleeper build in their PC from the great 1970s, the Altair 8800. Not only can you play Oblivion Remastered thanks to the RTX 5090, you can also use the Altair 8800 as it was meant to be.

Sure, we all want an RTX 5090, but what Intel is cooking up with their ‘pro’ series of Arc graphics cards- the B50 and B60 - has FAR more potential to change the industry.

Linus tracks down the rarest RTX 5090 on the planet: the ROG Astral 5090 Dhahab Edition. This gold-infused, Middle East–exclusive GPU costs up to $10,000 and was hand-carried to Computex 2025 so Linus could unbox it. Yes, it’s real. Yes, it smells weird. And yes, it actually works. Now the only question is: what ridiculous build do we put it in?

AMD’s computex keynote was chock full of new things! New mainstream GPUS in the form of the 9060XT 16GB and 9060 XT 8GB. All new Zen 5 based Threadrippers with upto 96 cores and 192 Threads. New FSR Redstone and so much more! Nvidia and Intel, you guys better watch out. Or maybe don’t be AMD will probably screw this up somehow.

Seasonic is here at Computex 2025 with some really cool new tech that might just save your GPU from overheating due to the infamous 12-pin connector. They're also showcasing a 3200W PSU, a monitoring solution for 12V-2x6 connectors, loads of new colours for their Focus series, and a new Noctua edition PRIME PSU.

Noctua is going pump-free. Their prototype Thermosiphon cooler uses boiling coolant and physics to deliver liquid cooling with zero moving parts, and it might finally be ready for prime time. Linus takes a deep dive into how it works, why it’s been so hard to get right, and what’s changed this time around. Plus, a look at Noctua’s first AIO cooler, upgraded fans, and all the wild third-party collabs they brought to Computex.

The Bigscreen Beyond is one of, if not the BEST VR headsets on the market, better than the Apple Vision Pro, the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3s (depending on who you ask).. But somehow they've made it even better.

Whether it's finishing the fresh Windows install on your new laptop or prebuilt, or you're just trying to do some debloating the next time you reset your machine, we've got you covered. And for everything else, there's Chris Titus Tech's Windows Utility which we did not cover in this video.

The Reality Competition Series is back AND NOW IT'S ONE BIG FREAKING VIDEO! Luke and Linus go head 2 head 2 head versus Austin Evans to build the ultimate gaming PC, and this time they aren’t on a fixed budget. It’s a price to performance showdown meaning they need to balance CPU and GPU power with the pain to their wallets. It's a new twist on a classic, with a new friend, and a very surprising outcome.

The results are in, and we almost couldn't believe them... In the final installment of this year's Secret Shopper, we'll go over system prep, the physical condition and components of our computers, and a gaming and performance drag race to determine who will win. Indubitably.

To mark the occasion, ASUS is hosting a global charity auction from June 9–13. One lucky winner will take home a limited-edition RTX 5090 Dhahab Edition, signed by NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang.

Proactively secure your business with powerful tools like application control, ringfencing, and granular policy enforcement. Whether you want to stop a banking app from connecting online or control what runs on your network, ThreatLocker gives you the tools to take full control.

Vance is the executive assistant to the higher ups here at Linus Media Group, but today its his time to shine having Linus build him a new computer, a new NAS, and even installing posters! Linus also attempts to make coffee, but we will just tell him he did a good job even though it turned out… not great!

This is might be the last GPU review we'll do this year. After Nvidia, and AMD - and Intel, releasing disappointment after disappointment. Maybe the 9060 XT will be great?

The controversial Windows Recall feature is back after a significant delay. But did Microsoft take the time to address the problems, or were they just waiting for us to forget how dangerous it is?

We are BACK and this time with even dumber ads than before! We spent over $6000 on every tech ad we saw including a pressure washer, a camera, and even a Go Kart! So Join Linus and Elijah as they explore just exactly what they got

Behold, the new Xbox Ally X! It looks interesting, but does it have the performance or features to replace your Steam Deck, Ally, or any of the other handhelds in between?

It's Apple announcement week, and this year they're harmonizing the look of their UI across all devices with Liquid Glass. Is it new? No. Is it pretty? Yes. Come check out some of our favorite parts of the feature-length WWDC presentation.

We spent two months living the Mac life, and it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing. The hardware impressed us, and some of the features were genuinely great, but clunky UI quirks, frustrating compatibility problems, and unreliable Wi-Fi on a $10,000 Mac Pro reminded us that macOS still has its issues. We break down what worked, what didn’t, and why at least one of us hasn’t switched back.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is here! And so is a new hole in my wallet. It boasts a stunning HDR screen, premium build, and significant performance leap with double the CPU cores, triple the RAM, and ten times the graphics - if you can believe Nvidia. While "miracle ports" shine and upgraded games look great, Joy-Cons still drift. The $80 game price and LCD screen are drawbacks, but the 120Hz refresh rate and potential for remote gaming are exciting. Should you buy one?

How fast can an RTX 5090 go? Well today we're going to find out by pumping 1000W through the 600W 12VHP connector.

It’s the age old question: how cheap is a good gaming PC? And are you better off upgrading the $69 dollar PC or starting from the ground up? We cover budget CPU and GPU upgrades (like the 2080 SUPER or 6700 XT), RAM, and storage solutions. The video compares performance, offers tips on finding deals for used components, and discusses the used PC market, emphasizing balancing cost and performance for modern AAA games.

Alex and the team took an old fire truck and turned it into a full-blown Dolby Atmos theatre on wheels, complete with 27 speakers, dual subwoofers, and an integrated gaming setup. It's way more than just a ridiculous idea... it actually sounds amazing. Featuring high-end KEF gear, AMD-powered gaming, and some questionable decisions along the way, this may be the most insane AV install we've ever done.
