Most Powerful Laptop!

If you’re wondering why I played Overwatch and not some other more graphically demanding game. It’s because I’ve been trying to get into top 500 in Overwatch this season and I straight up find my aim being thrown off when I switch games. I’ve become an Overwatch snob. I’m such a loser. LULZ.

Yeah, that was once. Think about what Acer could build in that chassis with todays hardware! RTX 2080Ti (maybe Max-Q) or a big Quadro, a socket able 3950X and all that fairly well cooled. Maybe a better screen and boom, there is the new mobile battle station king.

Hey, how’s it going? Dave2D here! This is something very special from Acer, it’s the Predator 21X. So this box has a laptop in it. It’s huge. It’s the biggest, it’s the heaviest, it’s the most expensive laptop in the world. And I normally don’t unbox things, but because this one’s kind of special, I’d though Id share the experience with you. This is so big. I don’t know why they needed such a large box.

Okay, this is surprisingly heavy.. Now I’m going to put this aside for just two seconds, while I look at the inside. Let’s see what else is in here. and he showed me what I was going to buy, this is what it would look like. What is this? Cool. We have a track pad. Oh, it’s got a number pad on the bottom. But it’s like a track pad/number pad. You get...pamphlets.

Oh no, its keys. Ash, this is so cool!

Okay, I’m assuming this has removable WASD keys. And a removable space bar, maybe for, like, I don’t know, we’ll see. That’s pretty cool. I should take this stuff out, cause what I’m going to--plug it up in a minute. I want to see what this looks like on the inside. Cause this is special. Holy smokes, you could get a serious workout just lifting this thing...all the time. I love the blue keys. This keyboard-- it’s so weird!

Seeing this type of keyboard in a laptop. Like this is like your regular desktop keyboard. And it’s a mechanical-- I think its mechanical. Feels...This feels like a really nice keyboard, and it’s weird to have this kind of key travel and this type of tactility. In a laptop? Are you kidding me?!

Okay, this is cool. I thought this would be a sticker, but it’s not. This looks like it’s, like, painted right in.

Okay, look at this. Limited edition, 17 out of 300. That’s pretty cool.

Okay, this shows you how you can use....this thing.

So you can... okay I get it. So you just plug it up.

Oh its magnetic!

That satisfying click. Does it come out? Okay, and you can just flip it. When you want number pad, and when you want...track pad.

Okay, I need to boot this up.

But now that I’ve looked at this for a second, the build quality is so good, there’s no play or flex on any parts of this laptop. The screen is probably one of the most unique features on this thing, and it’s a curved screen, and I’ve never actually used a gaming laptop that had a curved screen. The other thing that’s really cool is that it’s a refresh rate of 120Hz.Is to do this to your keys.

It’s perfect, now it’s, like, customized to the way that your hand naturally rests. There’s an eye tracking thing down here, I’ve never been a user of Tobii eye tracking. I’ve seen people, like, play games directly off of this, but I’ve never tried it myself.

So... it says caution over here, but I’m going to crack it open. I should power this down.

Okay, were going in. I’m curious to see what’s inside this thing. am I giving this too much pressure?

I mean, it’s *only* $9,000. It’s coming apart, yes! Were in. Hard drive. 2 RAM sticks.

I’m going to see the underside now. So the insides pretty simple to access, if you need to get in there. So you’re able to run a lot of storage on this thing. 5 drive bays, you probably won’t need any kind of external storage.

I’m going to port some specs, I’m not going to go into too much detail, but this is as loaded as a laptop gets. Its beyond impressive. In terms of the speakers, they don’t sound bad, but I think for a laptop this size, I had unrealistic expectations, I kind of thought it would sound amazing. This is the stuff that dream desktops are made of, and then when you put it into a laptop form, it becomes even crazier. It performs like a crazy powerful desktop, it’s insane how much horsepower this thing has.

Alright, I want to play some games. Let’s put this thing to the test. The frame rate on this thing is frisking amazing. One thing I just noticed, the fan noise when you’re idling is surprisingly quiet. I thought this thing would be significantly louder, because it’s a pretty powerful processor. But even when you’re playing games, if you’re on the default mode, it’s pretty quiet.

he external temperatures are very comfortable, even when you’re playing games. When I’m running benchmarks, there is some thermal throttling on the default mode. I don’t know if the mic will pick it up, but the fans are on full tilt right now, and its loud. Obviously this is a very powerful laptop, but whether or not it’s worth it, chances are, if you’re watching this video, and you’re kind of wondering whether or not you should buy it, this is not for you.

Apple Keyboard Evolution 1983-2015

I don’t have a Lisa Keyboard, and they’re quite rare and expensive. But here’s what it looked like, it was quite large and clunky. Although not really any wider than a modern Apple keyboard . So, this is the original Macintosh keyboard. It’s kind of tall, and notice that it has no arrow keys, no function keys and no number pad. Apparently, Steve Jobs believed that everybody would use the mouse for everything, except typing. It uses an RJ-11 type connector, similar to a phone cord. The mouse actually had its own separate connector, and did not connect to the keyboard at all. This is about as basic as it gets. I can plug my telephone into it, for some reason. So, one thing I noticed about this is that there are no indicators on where to put your fingers. I’ve never heard a keyboard echo before. It’s not real springy or anything. It does have… …metallic kind of noise to it. But, DAVID: This is the Apple Desktop Bus keyboard. As the name suggests, this was the first keyboard to use the new

The AdLib Gold Experience

Greetings folks, and today on LGR I am proud to present the fabled AdLib Gold 1000 Stereo Sound Adapter. An IBM PC-compatible sound card which, after multiple delays, launched at a suggested price of $299 in the US sometime in late 1992. More or less, its release is a bit complicated but we’ll get to that. For now lemme just go ahead and say how much I’m freak in’ out with excitement recording this footage. Cuz dude, seeing an AdLib Gold in person, still in the box, unused? Among retro PC enthusiasts, that’s like finding a golden unicorn that craps diamonds, it’s just not a thing. Yet here it is, looking’ spiffy! And it’s all thanks to Trixter, aka Jim Leonard of The Old-school PC, Check out his YouTube channel if you’re into this kind of thing too, the man’s a fountain of knowledge and some of the items in his collection are literally one of a kind. Not the least of which being this pristine AdLib Gold 1000, a card that I’ve been wondering about ever since I was eight years old lookin

IBM 8516 Touchscreen CRT Monitor

Greetings and welcome to LGR Oddware where were taking a look at hardware and software that is odd, forgotten, and obsolete! And today it is the IBM 8516 CRT touchscreen from the beginning of the 1990s. And yeah you can touch and draw and do all kinds of things that you would normally do with a mouse or light pen or whatever else -- just with your fingers! And so let’s see what this thing is and what it can do. All right so this is the IBM PS/2 Model 8516 13-inch CRT touchscreen monitor first introduced in June of 1991 for a suggested retail price of $1695 US dollars, holy crap. That would be almost $3,100 at the time of this recording, not a cheap price for a 13-inch VGA monitor back then. It was built by IBM to be compatible with PCs running DOS, Windows 3 -- and IBM OS/2 of course, because they were still pushing it rather hard when this came out. And as advanced and awesome as it was for its time it was not the first of its kind as far as touchscreen CRTs, not by a long shot. For

The best gaming laptop for MS-DOS games

The other day, I used to be reading this old Computes Gazette magazine from 1983. and that I saw this card you'll send off for more information. happen if I filled it out and sent it off? Well, stick around till the top and I'll show you the result. Most of the time, stepping into Retro Gaming are often quite challenge. Even the old Atari 2600 her, for instance, it are often very challenging to seek out a contemporary TV or monitor that you simply. On the brilliant side, the games are pretty easy to affect. All you've got to try to to is locate them online, or thrift shop, or whatever and you purchase the sport, and you recognize, But, things get even harder once you start watching old computers. For instance, the Commodore 64 uses a disk format that's essentially foreign today. It's no means to attach to the web, and albeit you've got a pile of blank disks, getting the games copied over to them from the web could be a nightmare. Now, if you fast forward just a

Strangest Computer Designs of the '80s

OMG Mr. LGR!!! You made my day showing the Seiko computer watch series. I collect these things and Have almost the entire lineup up including the weird UC-2200. The only one I'm missing is the "wrist mac" which was essentially a Seiko RC4400 but marketed and sold for Apple. It could be considered the first apple watch! That design for the Elwro-800 actually seems pretty good and I wish I had it for the C64 back in the day. That wire holder could have been used for holding a computer magazine with a user made program which they always had in the magazines back in the day. Even now it would be good for data input from a written copy, or even writers who like to get their pre-writing done on paper. They were the machines we were taught Turing language on -- and compiling even a tiny Turing program on them was unbelievably slow. I really liked the GUI on them though, but we never really used the GUI much; all the programming we did was in a text file run through a compiler

The Advantech I.Q. Unlimited with BASIC and a Z80 CPU.

Hello, and welcome back to the 8-Bit Guy. In this episode, I want to show you this bizarre little computer known as the IQ Unlimited by Advantech. Now, you might be wondering “What is this company Advantech?” Well, if you turn the computer over you’ll see it was actually produced by Video Technology Electronics, otherwise known as V-Tech.” Yes, that’s the same V-Tech that has produced tons of cordless telephones, kids learning computers, baby monitors, and a variety of other things. They are also the ones that built the Laser 128, which was an Apple II clone, along with the matching Laser XT which was a PC clone. They also produced the laser line of portable computers, and even a series of proprietary desktop computers that carried the laser brand name. So, needless to say V-Tech is no stranger to making computers. But, I think this may be the strangest one they ever made. The front of the box claims it to be complete, powerful, simple, and affordable. They are also those that built th

Fast roaming OpenWrt Wi-Fi Access points

Before we start let me do a test. I have my phone here which measures my Wi-Fi speed and another phone which I use as a camera in the other hand. I start on the 2nd floor where I have an access point. As you can see speed is quite OK. It won’t go much higher because I capped it. I’ll explain in a second. Let me start moving towards the staircase to the 1st floor. As I do that you can see that the speed goes down while I walk down the stairs until it starts moving back up because I picked up the signal from the 2nd access point here on the first floor. Let me keep moving down to the basement. It’s all concrete here so Wi-Fi gets weakened a lot. But it doesn’t take long until I get closer to the 3rd access point here in the basement and speed picks up. Walking back upstairs - same scenario. How do I do that so seamlessly without interruption of signal ? Is it a Mesh ? Is it magic ? Stay tuned. So many people promote Wi-Fi mesh these days. And if you observe this the

Will Kill Your Computer

Hey guys, this is Austin, and this is the USB Killer. Now, it might not look like much, however this will straight up kill your computer. So, this is a device that’s used to test hardware, so while it looks like an ordinary USB device, instead, there’s a series of capacitors inside. So, if you plug it into a computer, it will charge those capacitors up, and once they’re full it turns around and releases all of that power at 240 volts straight back into the computer, in theory killing it. It doesn’t take much to be able to pop this thing open. Now, before we proceed: Do not try this at home. Seriously. Not only is it very possible for this thing to kill electronics, but it’s also. And by being careful, I mean don’t try this at home. We have an Asus Chrome book. Now, USB Killer claims that this is going to work on around 95 percent of computers, and the reason for that is that while some computers have properly capped USB ports, most have completely unprotected ports, which means that i
