The shock in the face. He thinks he's dreaming

[@saysbadman]

Since English is probably not his first language I bet he's running through the conversation in his head to make sure he is understanding everything correctly. I was so happy to see him get it. He will probably talk about that the rest of his life.

[@someones_here]

⁠@@saysbadmanyea it makes it even crazier for him because he thinks he misheard Linus 😂

[@ThatGuyEU]

Thats so nice from Linus. Reaction be perfect xD

[@joshuadelaughter7968]

This is also in Taiwan, where the average salary is ~$21.7K USD. That computer is likely worth 3 months pay to him.

[@loyalwar658]

@@firstnamelastname-jt5ci that’s not what I’m saying, I’m just sharing facts on why people normally use the RIGHT hand to “shake” hands. Obviously looking at the video the computer couldn’t have gone to a better person. But my mind works on multiple levels, because I realized historically why ONLY the right hand is used, then I thought about all the videos on KZbin showing a street “chef” using their *LEFT* hand to mix up food for westerners and them saying how well it tastes. Edit: I meant NO offense, just stating facts and going from 1 thought to the next to let others know 🤷

[@vdd1001]

You didn't make his day, you made his year. That was a look of pure joy, like he won the lottery. I'm happy for this guy, he was shocked

[@Azex824]

not just year, but his whole life. This is definitely a core memory for him

[@armybrother81]

Dude did win the lottery, that’s a pc most people can only dream about

[@JanDarkyy]

His year? Probably his decade, let me tell you , my first pc (1k pc) was a gift from an uncle 7 years ago, that pc carried me through my whole engineering career , i now work and bought a new pc but because it was really old, a 5k pc easily wont be outdated for like 15-20 years, its really a boessing

In the full video Linus says its his lucky day and before he can tell the young man why, the boy agrees simply because he's meeting Linus... it makes it even more wholesome when he finds out Linus wasn't flexing his status, but was saying he's lucky because hes receiving a PC.

I can just imagine the face of his parents when he gets home with a massive ultra expensive PC, saying that a random massive KZbin in the street gifted it to him out of nowhere. They are not going to believe him, not until the video comes out and he shows them. They're going to be so suspicious of him.
