He used to be good especially when the steam deck was first being released he did some good early videos on it. However it seems like in the last year or so every single minipc/handheld/etc vendor started sending him free review units and he feels compelled to do a video on every single one. He's probably got rooms full of awesome tech stuff that isn't being used, or he sells it.
I kinda stopped paying attention to him when he said oculink 4i has 8 lanes of pcie, or something like that.
Also him paying windows 11 any mind at all while acknowladging steam on Linux works fine for every game he tests is pretty cringe.
Wut? But is good for comparison.
Windows 11 is trash and deserves no attention whatsoever
Sure, but lots of people are looking to install it anyway because they "need" it to play Valorant or whatever.
Does it not run on windows 10?
Oh, maybe? Windows 10 EOL is coming up soon, though, so Windows 11 is relevant for almost all Windows 10 users.
I wonder what happens with all the hardware that is not considered W11 ready when W10 goes EOL. And no, I don't think "switch to Linux" mantra is solution for everyone. It sure is possible for a lot of home users, but I mean mainly those thousands and thousands of office/corp/workstation PCs with SW that simply can't be moved to Linux. Is it simply going to be one huge middle finger from MS?
Yeah it's very obvious that he speedruns these reviews. How can you expect him to properly test the hardware when he can't even make sure the specs are accurate, or even give it just a quick spell-check?
