@@MPdude237 There are many worst IPS screens on laptops for 800,1000, 1200 dollars. HP and Lenovo are the most obvious examples - HP still offer terrible IPS, some with less accuracy than this one, and Lenovo would offer 50-55% accuracy screen in laptops from their high end thinkpad lineup. There are many other examples from every company and almost every price range.

There is a huge market for laptops such as this, especially during an era of people working and studying from home. Based on your review, I could recommend this to friends who just need to be able to log in to their various activities, browse, and do MS Office documents. But the price is a lot higher now, so maybe not. Thanks for the review!

Every time he does an in-video ad... We get to see Linus trade a tiny bit of his soul for monetary gain. Look closely and you can actually see the portion of his soul wisp away through through his pupils and out into the cosmos where it is devoured by the dark Gods of chaos....

[@simpleinverso8628]

[@starman5754]

Hmmm, monetary gain... Let's see, Linus competitively and gainfully employs staff, pays rent on the LTT facility, keeps a roof over himself, a wife and 3 children and their tummies fed. I would say Linus' "soul" is in great shape. After all, if there's no "monetary gain" (ie income), do you think Yvonne and kids would be happy campers? Not likely!
