Best 2 in 1 ?
Seb Brosig
I know it's annoying with Thinkpads having Fn and Ctrl swapped but you can switch them over in the bios setup. The outside key is still a bit too small then and says "Fn" on it but it's better when switching between machines.
Uqaillah Wan
Me: anyone want to give me a laptop.. Hmmm
Gayathri R
Where's the g14??? G14 and M1 are the best laptops of the year. I think that you haven't used the g14 properly
Darren Fox
My favourite laptop reviewer. My job role is IT Officer for the University of Sheffield & our procurement vendor purchase requirements are Dell Latitude models & Macbook Air & Pro.

Nothing interesting. MacBook paid him. Waste of time

Thank you Josh

you work hard!
Mayur Talware
Zephyrus G14 was appreciated a lot by the tech YouTube community... I thinks it's a great overall package. Looks professional, build, display, works like a gaming laptop.. its certainly one of the most balanced ones..
Laercio Vale
When can we see a review on the Lenovo Thinkbook Gen 2?

Jason Walker
I love this comedy channel. In the first part where Lenovo loses keyboard category I knew this guy was bringing the jokes.
james marshall
you do realize gateway is dead that pc you got is just a name now
bprabawabr
Amazing coverage! Really comprehensive yet practical at the same time.
M Z
You have chosen a laptop on which nothing can be upgraded and which cannot be repaired except in an overpriced Apple service. I wasn't hoping for this. By the way, I have both a PC and a Mac...
Note Alles
But its mac! Noooo
Glenn Karlsen
What would a runner up (windows based) laptop for video editing be?
Currently looking for a laptop for work that probably needs to be Windows (even if I am device agnostic myself)
Love your videos, BTW!
Sachin Rane
Wow Laptops Award Show!!!... I'll be waiting for next years

Brenda Rodriguez
This dude is probably the most considerate laptop reviewer I've ever seen. Most just try to inform you, but he really thinks about anything that could influence your decision no matter who you are. If display is important if it runs hot, what's annoying what's comfortable, what's amazing, what's decent. Honestly, favorite reviewer and really trustworthy
Logan Deck
Dude your video's are "The Best Laptop Reviews" on YouTube!! ....no-joke, I only watch you!

Which laptop is suitable for SolidWorks and Ensys engineering applications?

Huge thumbs up for segmenting the video for quick and easy reference 👌

can not understand why people like macs, the company format always asks you for credit card info in order to use a Netflix or other applications !
Krish Nair
After being a lifelong windows user I’ve finally switched to Mac because it’s just got an all around better experience for the price (which is surprisingly very reasonable.) It will be arriving soon for my birthday :)
Drop D. Opps
What, how😂
Jacque
Apple fan boy yea?
Just Josh
I use a Dell XPS and an HP Omen for most things. Please watch my video on the laptops I use. I will congratulate and recommend any manufacturer who makes a good product, and Apple has certainly made many recently including their M1 Macbooks
Tom Taylor
I have been searching for a laptop 5 months. I have gotten behind on my tech knowledge. I am not a techie but to a dummy either. This entire site has provided more useable information than the dozens of others I have used.
Tom Taylor
@Just Josh I can get a Mac Aire but it’s about $200 over my preferred limit. I was serious after the M1 came out. I do well with an I pad 9 7 and my i 12 phone but have always worked on Microsoft units. I am retired and am concerned about the transition. Most laptops were 1021 or 1035. The Ryzen 5 4500 and Ryzen 7 4700 were impressive and I feel I would need a Tiger Lake to compete. The 528g is not a priority but SSD is. A nice keyboard you made me aware of. I am left handed and the off centered touchpad drives me crazy with lots of accidental touches. The newest priority you showed me was the brightness and quality of the screen. Worth the extra The WiFi 6 seems an advantage but I can’t find out how much. The last is weight. Around 3 lbs. Size: I have mostly looked at the 14” due to weight. No problem with a light 15”. Thanks. Tom
Just Josh
Thanks Tom. If you can get a Mac. Get the MacBook Air for that price
Tom Taylor
I’m sorry I didn’t proof read. I wanted to say I wasn’t a dummy either but that may not be true. I am looking for a mid cost range unit that is less than $900 with is fast for daily non heavy graphic use and will keep up with future tech.
Candice Chan
Thank you for your guide, fortunately my country does carry the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro with AMD. Only thing stopping me from purchasing is the worry that the laptop will create problems within the first year similar to other users reports on Lenovo laptops. Anyone who has been using it, so far so good?

Hello!! When was asus zenbook at 499????????? December???

This is a great summary thanks. Only confusion was you were saying certain laptops like dell XPS 15 and the label on screen said dell 9500 (different number...) so yeh are they the same?
Just Josh
They are the same
Ravi Peiris
Great video 👌, thank you 😊
khbab omer
what is the best workstation 15-inch laptop?
TypeAce
How can you be so comfortable putting those laptops rub on eachother😭
Rachely Gonzalez
What is a good laptop that can be a 2in1 for drawing, and good enough for gaming (not super huge games or anything)? I have been saving up, but keep changing my thoughts on laptops 😭 I wants good one I could use for a good amount of years!
Barley Angga
You don't put the "locked into walled ecosystem" as a con. For some people, all the values of other advantages must substantially trump this aspect for them to be able to take the plunge.
I gotta say, windows laptop in 2020 had improved a lot. Thanks to AMD who moved the market to such competitive edge. Amd is the 2020 winner.
Md. Golam-ur-Rahaman Sohail
Would you kindly mention where would u place ASUS Zenbook 13.3 (ux325ja) i7 10th gen device in your list?
Hunter Thorne
I wish people buying laptops realised that getting a 300 dollar laptop that breaks in two years, is more expensive then getting a decent 500-800 dollar laptop
Elena Georgiou

I was just feeling so lost trying to find a new laptop and this was SO helpful! Thank you so much!
Dawa Penjor
Sadly. That Intel is a deal breaker for me.
Karmen Beasley
I ordered the one with the blueish back I tested it out and it’s amazing! It’s foldable and it’s a computer/tablet I’m obsessed with it!!!
xMZMx
Which one?
Carl Lakner
What would be your recommendation for the most reliable laptop available, with a solid processor? I am changing companies, the new one does not have and IT department. I am fortunate that I have a budget of $3500 USD. I need a company that will back there product 100% for a minimum of 3 years. Thanks for the great reviews.

Laptop Tips A To Z
that is true Bro!
Ben Perkins
I hate how with the chuwi, they use stuff like 12 gig and 16 gig of ram to wow people who don't know much about laptops into thinking that the celeron is good for the price
m a
Im about to return the M1, it has a lot going for it but compared to my older macbook pro, it doesn't really feel much different experience wise other than obviously the battery life is excellent. The touchpad isn't a game changer but the complete lack of ports is. On top of that, mac osx is starting to really annoy me for a laptop/pc experience. It is such a pain to download software and get it going compared to a windows computer. I want to have control of my computer, not vice versa
Anson seven
Worst laptop is a Dell. I am an ex Dell fanatic having owned 4 Dells in 10 years. This time, sales sent me the wrong batt, email went nowhere and sales support kept passing me to another dept. Will neverr buy a Dell ever again

Greg Rochevsky
The detail you delve into is unmatched on YouTube. Helped me make my decision keep doing an amazing job
Gerry Reid
No the best laptop keyboard is the alienware m15 r3
Gerry Reid
@Just Josh the soldered ram.is not good no idea why they do that, razer don't need to solder the ram.and they're thinner
Just Josh
Interesting. Id love to get one but I don't like the soldered 32g ram

1. Lenovo yoga slim pro
David Ross
Great review, Josh. So glad to see the Lenovo Yoga 6 get some recognition. I bought one from Best Buy for under $600 and the quality is just fantastic. The fabric cover looks and feels sensational, and screen quality, battery life and performance are all very good. Just started watching your videos and have subscribed. :-)
Mark Drummond
Me: searches Lenovo's website for "yoga slim 7 pro"
Lenovo: "Here are 743 things none of which is called 'yoga slim 7 pro'. If you require further assistance please refer to this 17-dimensional hypercube that catalogs the hot mess of Lenovo laptop nomenclature in a clear and simple format that even HAL 9000 could understand."
Tronci
Can someone reply with the link to the Lenovo yoga slim 7 pro?
matthew moi

I really like the razer blade 15 keyboard especially when typing up notes or something even over my mechanical keyboard. is something wrong with me??
Aorus Mini-ITX RiG
Looks like only USA boring laptops ... this video = an ad ?

Can you Give me one of your laptop ?
Tanmay Jaiswal
ThnkPad keyboards outclass everything in my opinion. I really like the page up and page down keys in that position. The Fn and Ctrl keys can be swapped using the Lenovo Vantage software (comes built in and is actually useful) with a simple toggle.
Rithesh Murarishetty
Just Josh, Jared's tech and Dave Lee are the best laptop reviewers on the net.

I bought a thinkpad X13 (AMD) last year. There are some cons but I like it.
