It's been a while since the Snapdragon X Elite launch and since then there have been a TON of platform updates. But how do the best Windows laptops from Intel and AMD compare now?

Its been a while since the launch of the Snapdragon X Elite and X Plus but in this video Sponsored by Qualcomm we wanted to go deeper into the architecture, technology, battery life claims and more

If you are looking for the absolute best air cooler for your gaming PC, then the obvious choice has always been the Noctua NH-D15.

Corsair used to be known for the the best PC cases on the planet but that has changed.

The Razer Blade 16 is supposedly "new" for 2024 but because of there being a lack of innovation on new laptop GPUs and processors, Razer might have a hard time pretending this laptop is actually new.

I want to address an important issue on how a single-dimensional, almost insane focus on AI by some of these companies is restricting true innovation on the hardware side of the smartphone market.

The mATX market has a new god-tier case that I almost missed because it was launched in almost secret. And that's what happens with ASUS.

A new class of laptops has arrived with the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7X, Microsoft Surface Laptop, HP Omnibook, Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge and others, there's a massive focus on what matters to most users

The Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9 is all new for 2024 and its probably one of the best gaming laptops (price to performance at least) available right now, especially with the high wattage RTX 4070 option.

The Fractal Mood has been designed to be not only the best ITX case but also one of the prettiest. I mean this thing is SO GOOD LOOKING and it blends in to every environment.

PC hardware is getting a bit boring but there are some pretty cool changes that are coming later this year and into 2025.

Air cooling needs and update and that's exactly what will be happening with 3D Vapor Chambers.

The Corsair 9000D is almost unbelievable. With 32 fan mounts for extreme water or air cooling, this is actually one of the craziest PC cases we've ever seen.

The Antec Performance 1M ITX case and ATX sized FLUX PRO are really trying to take case design to the next level by improving on previous designs to create something evolutionary.

The Thermalright air cooling lineup is actually expanding with the Peerless Assassin 140, Royal Knight 120, Royal Preytor Ultra and more.

Montech is on a budget case kick lately with a bunch of amazing PC gaming cases coming in under $100.

The Noctua NH-D15 G2 release date is coming up THIS MONTH and there's so many ways in which its been improved since we last saw it.

Fractal has been just owning lately in the case market and the new Mood and ERA 2 ITX cases might be their best SFF PC designs yet. These things take small form factor cases to the next level.

Lian Li is getting back into affordable cases with the wood-contoured Lancool 217 and even less expensive but no less capable Lancool 207.

Let's have an honest talk here. Black and white cases have become boring, no better than the Dell Beige from the 1990's.

For newcomers, custom water cooling might look daunting but with Glacier EZ Fit system, Phanteks is taking a different approach.

The ASUS ProArt creator laptop lineup (for thin and light at least) is largely moving beyond Intel and instead looking towards the Qualcomm Snapdragon X-series and AMD Ryzen Ai 300 - series.

The AMD Ryzen Ai 300 series have allowed ASUS to go ultra slim and ultra light for their new Zenbook S 16 while also offering new levels of performance.

The Zen 5 based Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 and Ryzen Ai 9 365 are coming to gaming laptops and thin and light laptops a bit sooner than expected.

Phanteks has done it again by thinking very differently about PC case design with the Evolv X2, G400A, G400N and a revised NV series.

We used to assume that GPU drivers allowed for much better performance after a game launch but that might not be the case.

Is the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra the Best Smartphone?

Typically the CPU cooler space is pretty boring. But the Hyte THICC Q60 changes everything.

The ROG Zephyrus G16 was supposed to be the best 16" gaming laptop of 2024. That's what I had hoped because of the Zephyrus G16's battery life, claimed performance, size and weight.

The question of whether the AMD Ryzen 8000 series can beat Intel Core Ultra in laptops depends on a lot of things like battery life, overall performance and gaming.
