You’re just saying that, just because shes a female!

[@YJCH0I]

The camaraderie between Sarah and Linus and the cat’s antics made me laugh out loud several times during this video. Excellent work! 1:47 Bold of him to assume it would last 10 months given how addictive and costly their drinks are, haha

[@akacitizen6776]

"along side the cat's antics". the other way sounds like the antics are its own entity

[@AnandMishere]

How did I miss this video until now? This is so far the best LTTs INTEL ETU video.

[@cenacr007]

this one is terrific, loved the cat and her choices.

[@shubhankarjayee604]

Sarah has probably got the most well thought upgrade so far. No unnecessary frills. No RTX 3080s. Everything is practical and perfect for gaming and graphic designing. You can tell she put a lot of thought into it (besides the color choice).

[@cloudnine5651]

since its white she didnt put a lot of thought into it? dont be a douche

[@Designsecrets]

Completely agree

[@MindstabThrull]

You think she's in the lead for stretching her dollar the farthest? She got SO MUCH STUFF with her upgrade!

[@dominow2121]

A bit dissapointing for graphics card when it comes to bang for her buck as she got a 3060 and not a 3060ti which would have made a huge difference for a slight cost increase

[@QuantumLabsTech]

i love the kind of relationship that Linus have with all of his employes, from a company stand point we often forget that all of those people are tecnically ''at work'', and at least here were i live in Italy, is actually pretty hard to keep friendship separated from work, especially when there's money involved is really hard. And you can say that all of these guys are really in good relationship with each others, BIG kudos to Linus and all the people there!

[@backaddict673]

That is one super clean setup. Well done!

16:24 I think Arlo appreciates the cable management, Lines

[@amygdalos96]

That is the first one with everything being reasonable and well planned. As a music producer I really like the choice of going universial audio. The volt 1 is actually in an acceptable price range. Thats not something you can say about their other interfaces that are very top of the line and insanely expensive. Rode mic arm is pretty awesome as well. Nothing sucks as much as a cheap mic arm.

[@91Nickson]

That's what I thought it! Pretty nice choice of Audio Equipment! For Streaming more than enough and with enough Headroom for future projects, if needed.

[@precoixousold521]

As someone with a $20 mic arm, I don’t get the issue

Hope they don't end too these are some of the best ltt videos

[@runjdm_]

Agreed - needs to keep going, these are too good. Getting to know the LTT crew makes it 10000x better. Should do some spouse makeovers, along those lines, maybe some LTT employee kids - would be cool to see some crazy kid tech that I never had.

Hell, let's go another round after the last one 😌

[@tocotaku4787]

For her needs and her purpose of content this set up both visually and hardware wise is probably one of the best tech upgrade vids from LTT

Yeah, I have the next generation of that motherboard, and it is a very heavy motherboard. By far the heaviest of the 3 computers I have built in the last couple years.

This one was great fun, love Arlo. He's already claimed that chair though, Sarah's going to need another one

[@PabloNP90]

[@lordzyph387]

I got two cats and they bounce between a guest chair and my lap when I am home. When I am not they take both chairs.

[@biancaseven]

If this upgrade has taught me something, it is that Linus is confirmed more of a cat person. In past upgrade videos, doggos were ignored. But Arlo got a lot of attention in this video.

[@jessiejeanph]

he is a cat person. afaik he owned one or 2 cats, one of his cats, shadow, was accidentally put in the dryer by their nanny / helper. RIP Shadow.

@ParasPlay Gaming Well, erm... Its Minecraft and Steam games and Apex

[@MrSlowestD16]

lol, that fluff ball is super friendly, keeps getting involved every chance he gets - most cats are like "there's a lotta noise in that room, I'm gonna go to sleep in another room." That's a pretty solid looking setup. From the aesthetics to the parts choices and everything, for 5k, some really top notch stuff. Good choices all around. Can't really criticize anything there. Double thumbs up and the build looks hella clean.

never had a cat that stayed out of the way so can't vouch for that

@@MrSlowestD16 Yeah people keep saying that, yet every cat i had wants to watch me work with the dremel tool etc.

[@MrSlowestD16]

@@r3toun If you do it a lot they probably are used to it and get curious. They are very curious creatures, after all. If you don't do it often, then just very lucky. Most cats are gone when somebody turns on a dremel, they have very sensitive hearing, the dremel is concert levels of loud to them.

all those arlo shots, totally cute , such a beautiful cat wants screen time

Sometimes whenever I have a hard day at work, I come back to this video. Sarah and Linus's energy is really refreshing.

[@MageThief]

Love how relaxed and energetic Sarah is at the same time, so relaxed in front of the camera as well, hope for more Happy Tech With Sarah

[@triptip00]

I think besides Dennis, this is probably one of the most awaited tech upgrades as i am really curious on what an Artist (creative) will spend all that money. P.S. I really enjoyed Riley just because you know.. it's Riley. Anthony's no brainer - he's just loveable as a human being and i really liked how he tried to use this as an opportunity to help him in his personal goals.
