The Dell U52 is the world's first 52" 6K monitor; it's a big boi. Just think of the spreadsheets you could fit on something of this caliber. Also the monitor has a whole host of I/O including 2.5GbE LAN, that's SICK.

AMD, what are ya doing buddy? You gave us so many good CPUs the last few years, but THIS is what you're showing off at CES this year? "AI" CPUs that are only marginally better than the previous ones, a better binned refresh of the 9800X3D called the 9850X3D, and then they talk about an AI agent to feed your paystubs...

Intel Panther Lake is HERE and it's boasting some major improvements to basically just about everything. And what better way to explore these new CPUs then by checking out some snazzy new MSI Laptops at CES 2026.

So much of the technology that you love and use daily is powered by Arm processors, but they never get to be in the limelight. That’s why at CES 2026, we wanted to go around and showcase some really interesting tech that is all powered by Arm.

Linus had the unique opportunity to participate in BattleBots UFB 5, a robot fighting competition held in Las Vegas. He might be the same height as his robot, but surely this robot can fight better while being vertically challenged. Will Linus win? You'll just have watch and find out

Hey, How are you doing? Guess what? WE ARE BACK WITH ROASTING YOUR SETUPS! From Computers, to Monitors, to speakers, to retro consoles. If you sent us a picture of your gaming setup, we are free to ROAST you

It's time we talk about how Linus actually spends his Billions of Billions of dollars.... Is it on Solid Gold controllers? yes... Is it on multiple buildings? yes... How much Money does Linus make? He even answers that...

Tired of bad news? These days tech feels awful, expensive, and uninspired. We get it. But there's sometimes a bright side! We break down why tech isn't always bad news, from surprising affordability to the end of AI tech bro nonsense and better value in gaming. Stop doom-scrolling and find some genuine tech gratitude! Grati-tech-tude… no that didn’t work…

Join Linus as he tries couch gaming with trackpads and Hall Effect joysticks, and helps build one. Get the open-source files and components below!

We’re turning this 40-year-old fixer-upper into the Ultimate Tech House! We’ve got a TON of ideas, but everything we do has to ‘just work’ for our client, and before we can even think about starting the transformation with home automation, sick gaming setups, a fully-equipped maker-space or a kick-ass home theater hangout, our inspector found some problems that we really can’t ignore.

Do you want to move off Windows 11 but are scared because you don't know if your GPU is good enough for it? WELL WE ARE HERE! We tested Nvidia, AMD, and Intel GPUs with Linux to see if we can accomplish day to day tasks and even some gaming!

Valve’s new Steam Machine promises to bring PC gaming to a living room near you any day now, and the specs they’re showing off are ARE better than the PCs that MOST people play games on.

So we’re building the ULTIMATE Steam Machine, cramming every ounce of gaming power we can into the Prototype Steam Machine Case from 2013, loading up the all NEW Steam OS and... using it to play a 2D hockey game... Hey, we like what we like.

AMD is still king of the castle with their new Ryzen 7 9850X3D gaming CPU, but that doesn't always mean it's the right chip to buy. Now hurry up and release Zen 6.

USB cables are needlessly complex, but they don’t have to be. Well, at least they don’t have to be for the END USER. So we tackled the complex problem of making cables to provide you with cables that a simply the best. Here’s why it took so dang long.

With DDR5 prices spiking to infinity and beyond, we re-examined if it's worth buying in 2026 or if you're better off saving some money and buying into a dead platform. Intel's 12700K and AMD's 5800XT are both very reasonably priced, but just how good or bad is the price to performance ratio?

What do you get when you take a 5090 and give it some performance enhancing drugs? You get the Nvidia RTX Pro 6000! This Most of a GPU will run circles around anything AMD has to offer, but is it REALLY that much better than a 5090? Especially since it costs almost $10,000?

Finally, headphones you can workout in that don't stick to your ears! Check out the Shokz Open Fit Pro and how they were able to achieve active noise cancellation with an open ear design. And yes, you can actually share them without feeling gross.

Whatever happened to just OWNING things? Why do I have to pay every month for software that consistently gets WORSE with each new version? It was bad enough when HP started subscription printing services, now they want me to subscribe to my gaming laptop, too? Still, we can’t write them off until we take a closer look, so let’s do it. Are these Laptop Subscription offers worth it, or just another grab for your hard-earned-cash?

Linus has had his fair share at picking and testing all types of phones, BUT if we let his KIDS pick their next phone, which one will they pick? iPhone, Google, or Samsung? I personally would pick a RedMagic just cause they have anime.... BUT dad didn't want to buy me a phone today :(

Sometimes you just gotta go dark, but how do you get your stuff off the grid and how can you be sure it is 100% effective? We’ll show you Faraday RF blocking shields that you can buy and what you can make that will functionally shield you from “The Man”. Hold on to your tin foil hats everyone!

Tired of searching for the Best Webcam? We spent thousands on Amazon's Best Sellers to find the perfect webcams for work, gaming, and streaming. After putting every camera to the test, some 4K webcams were complete scams and some cams don't even have a resolution from this decade... Yikes. At least we did the research for you! Google Drive with samples below.

We've been excited about MicroLED for YEARS, but the price has always been prohibitively expensive. When AWALL reached out and offered up their biggest and brightest model with .9mm pixel pitch, we couldn't say no. Watch Linus and Plouffe check out the new and improved 4K video wall that seems too good to be true.

We last reviewed some dash cams in 2022 and they all had similar poor video quality. Are they any better now that optics and processing have improved? Plus some dashcams have incredible additional features like ADAS and parking radars. Check out the whole video to see which one best suits your needs.

The gaming firetruck is REAL! We're transforming this colossal emergency vehicle into the ultimate LAN party monster just in time for Whale LAN.

Elijah decided to pick up the reigns and buy an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and what he found is that for him, he may NEVER go back to Android...

The Fluke ii915 acoustic camera uses an array of 64 MEMS microphones to find air leaks and equipment malfunctions. It also costs north of $25,000. Perfect for finding… a compressor leak?

Costco sells more than just bulk food and TVs now—they have gaming PCs! Linus and David go undercover to find the best deal on a prebuilt system. Is buying a PC at Costco a genius move for convenience and price, or a total trap? We buy one, unbox it, test its performance against a custom build, and reveal the truth about the warehouse giant's tech offerings.

Linus’ kids are making the most of their 3D printers - and even profiting. Time to get serious and upgrade this basement setup to a real 3D print farm.

Thought lost to time and decay, we partnered with the Reboot Rewind team and Kioxia to bring the original, uncompressed masters back to life. Join us as we try to fix the incredibly rare, $300k D1 tape deck needed for preservation!

It looks like the Macbook Neo is going to take over at least a big part of the Chromebook market... Who would have ever guessed that Apple would be offering more storage and memory across multiple devices at the same price? In THIS economy???

It is time to Try Linux ONE MORE TIME. Linus, Luke, and Elijah all switch to Linux for a whole month and in this episode they chooses which distro they pick, install, and get gaming. Will they have issues? Will it go smoothly? Who knows!

Your RAM is cheating on you. You might think it’s working hard, but the truth is it’s probably going behind your back with bloatware you didn’t even install. In a time where every bit of performance counts, Linus finds out exactly how much those pre-installed “value-adding” apps are actually impacting your system.

We're back at it again with tiktok tech hacks. and some of these are pretty messed up.

The ULTIMATE Gaming Firetruck is finally DONE! We finished the 4v4 gaming setup, installed the massive projector screen, and kitted it out with AMD's best gaming gear. Watch us deploy this monster at WHALE LAN! See all the products we used linked below!

When a technical wizard like Steve Wozniak has a problem to solve, you know the solution is going to be interesting. So it’s no surprise that when Woz had too many remotes for his entertainment center, his solution - the Core Master Remote - ended up in the Guiness Book of Records and was the foundation for an entirely new company - CL 9. The thing is... no one else really had that same problem... yet.

Tariffs are a popular strategy lately... Turns out Brazil has already been down that road so we built TWO PCs with components that are ‘made in Brazil’ just to get a glimpse of our potential future. Hopefully not but hey, we got a Brazil reference!!!

Welcome back to the Tech House! It's time to clear out the garage and crawl space, rip out a ton of carpet, and get hit with some disastrous news: the house is plagued with ASBESTOS! What other treasures (and nightmares) will we find along the way? And more importantly, what will become of the Roborock Saros 20 we deployed into the rat-infested crawl space?

There are a lot of people that work behind the scenes on the Linus Tech Tips videos, but does that mean all the writers think the same? Do they all agree with each other on controversial topics in the tech world? Today we put that to the test asking questions about software, hardware, and AI to see if Elijah, Adam, Nicholas and David all agree or have opinions that are different from each other.

Intel's Arrow Lake Refresh is actually refreshing. At $299 and $199, the 270K Plus and 250K Plus both look to be flagship killers, taking the fight to AMD's Ryzen 9000 chips. Zen 5 domination might not be for long.

@DankPods flew from way down unda' to share his "nugget hoard" of iPod knockoffs with us. Did you know Intel and Dell made MP3 players??

Linus is on vacation so Riley steps up to showcase what PC you could build with $1,000 in this economy.

It’s not everyday that someone new starts building high-spec server CPUs, so when we were invited to the launch of the new Arm AGI CPU, we ju mped on a plane to get the first look at this exciting new addition to Arm’s lineup.

Taking you computer around the world is risky. and @DankPods unfortunately was a victim of rough handling by airlines. Can we save his RTX 4090?

Everyone is hating on Discord right now... But where do you go? There are DOZENS of options out there that include great voice calling, chatting, and communities! But which one is the right one for you? We show off a bunch including Slack (ew), Stoat, matrix, teamspeak and more!

The last RGB LED TV we looked at had some flaws... But Sony says they've got the answer to beat the competition with their new True RGB technology. Linus flew all the way to Japan to check it out.

What makes an SSD good or bad? Did you know there's an important hardware difference between top-performing and low-cost storage devices? You might not, because many SSD makers don't talk about DRAM.

Is the AI bubble getting ready to burst? We’re seeing major spending cuts at OpenAI, Mass Layoffs at Oracle, and ludicrous valuations for companies that don’t have the revenues to back those values up, and DDR5 prices are dropping around the world. It’s starting to look like the RAM crisis won’t last forever.

When we thought HDR was going to be a bigger part of our channel, we installed a bunch of miniLED PA32UCX displays in our editing den. We then proceeded to make about three HDR videos since then... So we're side-grading to a higher resolution!

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Or in our case, when life steals your EV charging cables for the copper, you make content out of it.

Sammy Yoo, is a con artist. But also the man behind all the amazing extra content on Floatplane! Last year he got Linus to agree to give him a $1 for every youtube subscriber he could get from a short. Needless to say, his scheme worked. But if bro is gonna get $20,000 PC, theres gonna be some consequences too.

When rent prices are too high in Vancouver, what do you do? That’s right you wait for your Boss to give you $5000 to move out! But instead of moving out you could also upgrade your mom’s basement with retro gear, new streaming equipment, and even a battery back up for your server! Who needs to move out when you can sit at home and game all day.

Remember 6 months ago when Linus bought an environmental chamber on auction for dirt cheap... yeah turns out it is not cheap and would cost $250,000 if he wanted to keep it. BUT we got in touch with the guys who helped shutdown this exact unit over a decade ago and they managed to get it up and running.

I’m finally sponsored by Red Bull… but not in the way you think. Today, we’re taking things to the next level with an extreme PC build for not one, but TWO Red Bull athletes, pushing performance to the limit. Stay tuned to see who they are

Today, we put Linus' fitness skills to the test with the help of the Speediance Gym Monster 2. From strength training to endurance, this all-in-one smart gym takes him through a full body workout.

It wouldn't be Linus Tech Tips if we didnt try something stupid, and today we took the Falcon on a trip to Virginia and on the way decided to build a PC at 40,000 FT breaking a world record for the Highest PC build! But with the plane being as old as it is, how does power work? Can we even game on it once we are up there?

Framework is back in town this time with FOUR brand new products that are sure to tickle your fancy. Framework 13 Pro, Framework 16 refresh, OCulink Expansion Bay, AND a brand new keyboard that will definitely raise some eyebrows? Let us know if any of these Framework devices seem interesting to you!

The latest and greatest CPU from AMD costs $899. Oof. Does the 9950X3D2 Dual Edition have the high performance to match the incredibly high letter count of its name? Does 3D-Vcache across two CCDs matter? Why didn't they send one to us?

The MacBook Neo offers some pretty compelling value. We found a few laptops from current or last-gen around the same price to find out what you're really spending your money on at the $600 price point.

So long Tim Cook! Steve Jobs was a tough act to follow when you took up the mantle as Apple's CEO. Sure there were some rocky years, but in the end... we're impressed.

How is it that Windows has managed to stay on top even though Linux and MacOS have gotten so much better? Well just because it's on top doesn't mean it will be forever, and we are noticing a pattern that MIGHT show real cracks in the Windows world and see Linux come on top

Valve's new Steam Controller is here after more than a decade! We dive into the upgraded trackpads, TMR joysticks, awesome battery life, and that innovative wireless charging puck. Is this the perfect living room PC controller, or does the $100 price tag push it out of contention against the competition like the Sony Dualsense, Xbox Controller or a Gamesir or Flydigi? Find out by watching every second of this video! If you look away I can’t say that the Babadook will get you, but I can’t NOT say it won’t either…

Sony just RAISED the price of the PlayStation 5 family, making console gaming less accessible to people on a budget. But don't despair! We’re building a budget gaming PC using second-hand parts for less than the new PS5 Digital Edition price. Can this "Scrapyard Spirit" build beat the PS5's performance, even with high RAM and SSD costs?

Cluvens is back with another insane product! Meet the M2HB .50 Cal BMG Ultimate Gaming Cockpit—a steel beast with two big friggin' guns.

Amazon will end support for pre-2013 Kindle eReaders on May 20, 2026. Unfortunately, that means these perfectly fine devices will be all but useless. So what Kindle alternatives are out there, and how can you still get some use out of your unsupported Kindle?

The Flux Keyboard displays it all. Literally. It’s a keyboard yet transparent, and underneath IS a display featuring nearly any glyph or function you can imagine. Pretty cool, eh? I’d like to think so. However, it does type a bit differently than your typical mechanical switches... Thanks u/FranciumGoesBoom for lending it to us to check out!

Samsung, LG, TCL, HiSense and pretty much everyone else tout the benefits of their "smart" operating systems included with their TVs. But honestly, I don't need my TV to be yet another computer to serve ads to me and steal my data. I already got a bunch of those! But escaping from the grips of TizenOS, WebOS or even Android TV is difficult, especially when precious few companies sell modern displays without the OS cruft. Well, Sceptre has a 75" TV that is simple as can be. But is their TV with no Smarts just plain dumb?

Best Buy is out here comparing their prices to... what? Anything? Anytime? Sold by anyone!? Linus discusses online retailer pricing transparency and reference pricing as businesses increasingly become marketplaces.

For Years, Yvonne has been asking Linus for a DDR Pad one that wont be flimsy and terrible or ones that cost an arm and a leg. Turns out a Polish company makes entry level DDR Pads that are "affordable" and high enough quality that it wont fall apart...maybe.

This AMD Ultimate Tech Upgrade is one of their nerdiest of all time. Nik works for LTT Labs developing software that helps us test games. Truly, he exudes Maximum Dork. Which is why he included a Reachy Mini, RX 9060 XT, awesome Ubiquiti Networking gear and so much more in this amazing upgrade.

I know we are WAY late on uploading Linux Challenge PT. 2.... Sorry about that. But in this video Linus, Luke and Elijah all break down the issues and the positive that happened within the first week of swapping over to Linux. Whether that was Linus picking PopOS, Luke swapping desktop environment, or Elijah trying to play some games. Each had highs and lows, also so people dont keep asking me, PT 3 was filmed the SAME DAY as this one so ideally you will see it soon!

Competition is heating up as Google injects Gemini into EVERYTHING and unveils the new Googlebook in this year's Android Show. Some of it looks pretty cool though.

LTT production hero Reece's setup is suffering from terrible cable management and a crappy desk. The Setup Doctor is in! We transformed his chaotic gaming and streaming space, shoe room and more - upgrading him with the sturdy Vernal Core3 L-shaped Standing Desk and custom accessories.

Just because Nvidia killed SLI, that doesn't mean it's over. With two RTX 3090 Tis in hand, we once again seek answers to questions like "just how bad was SLI?" and "should I buy a second RTX 3090 Ti?".

Google sure did announce a lot... AI in your search engine, your phone, your email, calendar, documents.... photos... everywhere. They put it in everything...

When we placed our $100 deposit on the Trump T1 Phone, it was mostly for the lols. We fully expected a scam, and for almost a year the wild changes in specs, crudely photoshopped images, and viral claims of hundreds of thousands of ripped-off customers have suggested we were right. But now.... It’s actually shipping? We teamed up with Dominic Preston of the Verge to get to the bottom of this roller coaster of a story.

We got an exclusive first look at the 2026 ASUS Strix SCAR 18. An absolute beast of a Laptop featuring top-tier hardware. Being a pre-production unit however, we had our hands tied and could only look at the display… Which also happens to be the best display a Laptop has ever seen.

We were pretty impressed with the Comma 3x when we first tested it last year, so we decided to stick Linus in a Toyota Corolla long-term so he could test out the Comma AI’s active driver assistance over several months. There were some ups and downs!

We teamed up with ASUS and challenged Linus to build a PC like he’s never done it before - while watching himself in the 3rd person with ASUS’ new ROG XREAL R1 Gaming Glasses! Will an out-of-body new perspective negate decades of PC building experience, or will the gamer in him rise to the challenge? There’s only one way to find out!

The Linux Challenge continues, now with a gauntlet of every-ish day tasks. Will Linus, Luke and Elijah be able to overcome? Find out

You spend big on your PC, but forget the display? We're judging three LMG employees for committing this classic blunder!

We traveled to Data Center Alley in Ashburn, VA, and went inside some of the facilities that make up the backbone of the modern internet. Our Sponsor, Equinix, threw open the highly-secure doors (and then closed them right behind us) to show us where the clouds connect!

WWDC '26 was PACKED with announcements ranging from Airpods EQ to Parental controls to Design changes. But the biggest announcement is of course surrounding AI and Apple's integration with Siri. Whether it's reminding you to buy concert tickets, or helping you plan a holiday, if Apple can deliver on the promises they are making it seems like the rest of the industry could be playing catch up so some time.
