    My main problem of a chromebook is can’t run shit like python and c++



  2. Bora Jovanovic on November 21, 2021 at 11:33 am

    Somewhere along the line, you forgot the budget topic…



  3. Thar Htet Nyi on November 21, 2021 at 11:34 am

    I am disliking because this is way too much for me my brain can’t handle it



  4. Alex Liljequist on November 21, 2021 at 11:37 am

    You guys are all broke cry babies, lmao you want to go buy a 200$ laptop, or if that is your budget, go buy the shitty laptops on display at Walmart. Quit watching a review when your wallet has already decided you can afford the cheapest lowest quality computers being sold,



  5. james emeagwali on November 21, 2021 at 11:38 am

    Ugh my fifth vid with laptops $600 or up. Man forget it



  6. Win Nguyen on November 21, 2021 at 11:39 am

    Linus, Can you please review Acer Aspire 5 Ryzen 3 3350U model? This model is the best seller on Amazon under $500.



  7. IdunDied on November 21, 2021 at 11:39 am

    First part of vid: For budget option get $300 laptop and put SSD in it. The comments: "wHy ArE tHeY aLl $700"



  8. gaby B. on November 21, 2021 at 11:39 am

    I’m a student and it’s difficult to me to find a convincing laptop for these coronavirus times, at the same time that school in my region is almost in person I need something portable which doesn’t makes lot of space on my backpack, and like any other school it must last at least seven hours to complete a whole eight hours school day,but at the same time I tend to pass hours drawing on my free time and every artist can relate that a “laggy” brush it’s nothing but problems, so I am looking for a medium laptop able to manage both clip studio paint and MediBang, does anybody has recommendations?



  9. NeedForSpeedBadBoyz on November 21, 2021 at 11:41 am

    if you think that you can only get a girlfriend if you have apply products, then there is seriously something wrong with you.



  10. Ahrix54 on November 21, 2021 at 11:44 am

  11. Spud Ryan on November 21, 2021 at 11:45 am

  12. V ALT on November 21, 2021 at 11:49 am

    "bUdGeT LaPtoPs" shows 800$+ laptops ;/



  13. Sarmad Qureshi on November 21, 2021 at 11:50 am

    I bought the ASUS VivoBook Flip 14.

    Windows 10 Home 64-bit

    4GB DDR4

    128 SSD

    Intel Celeron N4020 @ 1.10GHz

    "Those are terrible specs.", it actually feels like 8GB, and 256 GB. Also feels like a Core i5, it’s also a 2-in-1 with a fingerprint, and Windows 11 compatibitlity.



  14. Cyptum Inc on November 21, 2021 at 11:53 am

    i legit just went onto facebook and bought a $400 (Australian dollars) old discontinued macbook from 2015 and it still works fine, it is also super fast with a 250gb ssd.



  15. PAALISBO,JOHNFEL M. on November 21, 2021 at 11:53 am

    Thanks for nothing I guess.



  31. sans12304 on November 21, 2021 at 12:08 pm

    When you forget your budget is a business one:



  32. Main character on November 21, 2021 at 12:08 pm

    based on the comments dont even start watching before u want what you can’t have



  33. ok then on November 21, 2021 at 12:09 pm

    i have the surface go as it is supplied to us by our school, and it’s pretty meh. slow, average battery life and they keyboard is not that good. had a key break because i pressed it on the edge too much. now it only works if used at a certain angle or force is applied by pushing it onto the surface.
    the stylus is pretty nice though.



  34. Alex Liljequist on November 21, 2021 at 12:11 pm

    You guys act likes tough to save a few hundreds dollars, or find a side hustle to generate a 2nd income so you are able to buy nicer things you want. If you can’t see the easy solution to your whines ans groans than keep complaining and making excuses as to why your flat broke



  35. c Janssen on November 21, 2021 at 12:12 pm

    My school needed at liest to have a 1060 rtx, 8 gb ram and core i7 it was atleast 1000$



  36. Phoenix Constellation on November 21, 2021 at 12:15 pm

    "Best laptops for students"
    *recommends a $2000 gamer laptop*



  37. Kirk Patrick on November 21, 2021 at 12:15 pm

    LG grams are super expensive, not for average students



  38. Just Mark🤍 on November 21, 2021 at 12:16 pm

  39. Makina Ibrahim on November 21, 2021 at 12:19 pm

  41. Gamerworks on November 21, 2021 at 12:20 pm

    Guys I would recommend the chuwi herobook pro 14.1sitting at around $250-$300 I am currently in college and this laptop is pretty good



  42. Harpoon on November 21, 2021 at 12:20 pm

    shit video



  43. Eltaahir As-Salafi on November 21, 2021 at 12:21 pm

    Can you do an update please 2021 here…



  44. onika rutherford on November 21, 2021 at 12:22 pm

    NEW, LOW INCOME STUDENTS: this guy does not know what affordable means. And he’s wrong about chromebooks – there are versions of chromebooks, such as the google pixel go, that has all the functionality that most college majors need, and they are genuinely affordable (as in, NOT $1,000+). If you can afford these laptops, then you are very lucky. Otherwise, chromebooks can serve you well.



  45. Jazween A on November 21, 2021 at 12:22 pm

    I have Huawei Matebook 14



  46. Shiver Ink on November 21, 2021 at 12:23 pm

    Welcome to my Top 10 on laptops for those on a tight budget…

    At number 10, we have a GeForce RTX-



  47. windows xp on November 21, 2021 at 12:24 pm

    The first ones cheap I guess, but the third is definitely not budget



  48. Josiah Rhodius on November 21, 2021 at 12:24 pm

    I don’t think he knows what a student budget is



  49. meme on November 21, 2021 at 12:25 pm

    What the hell was the budget in your mind



  50. Serjohn on November 21, 2021 at 12:26 pm

    What is the cheapest laptop with 12-16gb ram. Mostly browsing photoshop discord vlc video editing etc. No gaming, don’t care about size, weight or display ratio. My main usage is streaming and website design. I oftenly need 15-40 chrome tabs open, voice chat and screen capture.
