The tech upgrade videos are legit the best content on this channel...

I love that every time Linus says "We won't use any of that" in a video his editors put as much of "that" as possible as well as him saying not to. Subtle rebellion. 😂
really appreciate how linus matches the energy of the guest host so that they feel comfortable. Makes every guest during these tech upgrades seem more natural in front of the camera
Adam! You emailed me once representing Creator Warehouse, and you helped me with my problem. Cool to see you on camera. Hope you've enjoyed all the nice upgrades!
gonna be honest, of all the upgrades ive seen on the channel, this is the most phenomenalone. An absolute synergy between everyone involved and a vibe that i wolud almost say unmatched, along side a stutherless progress during the whole thing. Absolute wonder, 11/10
I love that the Ultimate Upgrade vidoes still get intros. I understand the bad viewer retention might have caused them to go away, but the LTT intro was always my favorite.
I feel insurance companies wont cover adults because adults are responsible and take care of their teeth after. Kids sometimes need to get extra sets because they dont wear their retainers
@@bugz000mine are basically still all perfectly straight and the same boat. Although I have seen people's basicsly go back after. So it might depend on if you had teeth taken out before and/or how big your teeth are?
@@bugz000 Not a myth, I got my braces off when I was 16, im 23 now, never wore my retainers and my teeth moved 50% back to their original positions before brace. Wear your retainers
the financial part wasn't too bad for me (in Belgium) but the physical pain and annoyances I can still remember after about 5-6 years now. Worth it though as some of my teeth were basically crushing another one
This is my first video with Adam, and I gotta say, dude seems like the nicest person. He comes off polite and humble, and I could definitely see myself playing Double Dash all day with him. So far, everyone at LMG gives off the most positive vibes.
I feel like Adam is a absolute perfect fit for customer service since he is so genuinely interested in tech and wants to assemble his computer himself. I feel like that highly matches the customer base he will handle. Great vid! Love to explore the behind the scenes people
This is one of the best ones. During all these, I always feel like 5k could go way longer, but the people choose the over-the-top components that waste the budget. But not Adam, he showed us how far a 5000 stretches and it stretches REAL GOOD.

This series is great for so many reasons. It shows that even a large company such as LMG cares about their people. Then we also get a small glimps into the lives of the people that keep the company going! Keep up the great work and so glad AMD cared enough to continue the series
27:20 when David pans to the wall for Adams reaction and comments "He's behind that wall." !!!! LMAO classic, great stuff here! keet it coming! cheers and thx
I love these videos so much. I really appriciate the staff who aren't usually on the camera, agreeing to have cameras and their house broadcast. I know they get 5,000 worth of stuff, but they don't just take the money. They really try to put them selves out there, make some good content, and let us get to know them
I don't know what I found funnier, David's amazing camera work with showing him through the wall or Colin simply not saying anything xD Awesome ep. as usual with these
Idk how the staff members are picked for these, but I'm glad it wasn't just another face we've already seen a dozen times because they're naturally charismatic and camera-friendly. Good to see this opportunity being spread around.
He reminds me so much of my brother, such a genuine wholesome guy he definitely deserved an upgrade a lot sooner he’s so humble about waiting his turn too
its crazy how wholesome this one felt. still funny and a bit wacky but man do i just want to root for Adam and cheer him on. colin and David were also funny in a gag side character way
Adam has the best tech upgrade overall so far because he updated his setup, living room, AND picked up a pretty great Espresso machine to dip his toes into the coffee world! I also have the Gaggia Classic!
@@RAZGR1Z20:29 they were both wearing pants. Unless you were trying to make a point about someone elses relationship, that since you know nothing about them, which is probably rooted in your own insecurities about masculinity and loneliness. If you need a hug, all you have to do is ask.
This is my favorite ultimate upgrade video so far. Not only was Adam quite the host but he also made some great selections showing what’s possible without extravagance. I’m also appreciating the added text inserts on the latest videos helping give viewers context. Great job LTT Team!
Something I'd love to see the Lab do, would be to check out office chairs and (allegedly) high-end gaming chairs and compare them against their claims, as well as different standards (E.G. ISO 24496:2021), like good quality/working lumbar support.
I will say Linus is really lucky to have great staff like Adam working with him. You can tell he loves what he does and will continue to do the best he can possibly do.
Adam seems like a great guy to work with. Making this judgement on how he speaks to other people, tone and politeness. Could just be 'new-ish to being on video again' jitters, but I'll put $ on it being just who he is :)
I love this series. Will say linus is one of the few channels i watch that put out a ton of great content but this is definitely my favorite genre on LTT. Hopefully we will get many more tech upgrade episodes and get them more often. Thank you linus for always putting out great content for us nerds haha
Gaggia is pretty much the ideal starting machine if you have any interest in getting into the weeds/trying to get coffee shop results. Most of the other options in the range don't accept a standard basket or have easily serviceable/modifiable parts.
Honestly, with how much modding the thing allows for (unofficially, of course), he could easily turn that thing into the equivalent of a $3,000 machine if he does things right.
This is by far the best series on the channel. I love getting to see the other employees and get a peak into their actual personal lives. It’s real, unique and really fun/funny.
Ayy! Glad to see Adam getting a tech upgrade! He was super helpful in one of my support requests last year when I sent a picture of a Capybara as bribery to get a faster response and it totally worked 😎
I used to work with this dude at best buy! what an incredible person, was mind blown for a sec like "where do i recognize this dude from?" and I'm so glad to see he's working for Linus! Go adam!
Super Happy Adam didnt have to end up waiting too long for his upgrade. Seems like a great guy. Cant wait to meet more of the crew that dont get camera time. Its super cool to see the people that make the behind the scenes happen. And its awesome AMD picked this up absolutely love this series!
14:12 "You know, I had a dream last night, about a short circuit that caused a fire in my house. I'm not even joking!" - Linus ~looks back at the video about the pool cooling that had sprung a leak and killed his computers and remembers the actual brief smoke and fire from that episode~ Ooooooh...
one of my useless hobbies is to set budgets and imagine what I could perfectly spend the non-existing money on, e.g. pc setups for 500$ or a setup for 2000$ and so on - this video was pure satisfaction for me!
I have the Gaggia Classic Pro and it is an excellent espresso appliance. Highly recommend the pressure spring mod, which is super easy and makes a big difference. Also, most will tell you that you want to spend more on the grinder. On that front, i have a eureka mignon specialita and really like it! Good purchases!
David has gotten better with his production quality. I know he was outstanding before, but he's just better now. The way he brought the ram shot into focus like that, that can't be as easy as he made it seem. Anyway, just thought I'd mention this since the guy behind the camera, especially when it's not Brandon, might sometimes get overlooked.
The Texh Upgrade is also a super smart investment in the future of the channel. Like who can be a host infront of the camera as well, who is maybe a natural talent and a crowd pleaser. And it also shows how huge the company actually is and how many people it takes to run such a huge channel. There are just so many wins in this one section. These are by far my favourite videos on this channel or maybe any channel.
If this is the same Adam I talk to you're amazing dude and you deserve that tech upgrade!!!! LTT store is usually spot on. The only problem I ever had with them was last year during the holidays you were supposed to get a free set of shoe strings in 4 months later another box of shoe strings came along. Apparently you're supposed to get two of them. Adam help me out and assured me that it wasn't ordered by mistake
28:19 As a future note to Linus and the team, you can use a steam account to download over a local network from one computer to another. We loaded BG3 to my computer from my cousin's in about 15 minutes over the local network when my internet was out so my friend and I could play over the LAN. So you didn't need to take out the SSD from the laptop to speed it up lol Though, the update still would have been required.
Honestly the setting should be ON by default since it is so useful. It's also a great way to save that bandwidth, especially if you have a monthly cap.
What a great upgrade for £5k. I'd be tempted to throw it all into my PC but honestly spreading it out like this is also a great choice. Adam seems like a really chill guy too I like him, would be happy to see more of him in future videos
To be fair, 5k into the pc alone is actually quite difficult.if you don't comp,etely waste money on a 4090, you get a super high end graphics card (7900xtx or 4080) for around 1200, around 500 for a really highe nd cpu, maybe 200 for the case, 300 for combined storage, 150 for ram and probably another 300 for coolers, extra fans and such. Oh, and 200 if you want a really fancy case. So around 3000 pounds for best ins lot components with the motherboard included, you litera,ly can't really spend more than that unless you go for weird artsy or branded stuff, and even there cable mod cables and such won't set you back to much.
After Linus profited that setup in the intro with "I have to do anything to make you happy", they should have doubled down on it and handed Linus a choker and a leash and said put this on and get on your knees. It was the perfect setup for a dom-sub joke :p
FYI if you setup multiple devices on the same network, Steam will download it from your other network machine. Been doing that with my Ally for a while and its saved me sooo much time.
A Gaggia Classic? Nice. Keeping in the theme of most bang for the buck, I approve! One of my favorite upgrades so far. Will there be DIY upgrades for the machine?
I love powerline networking. Good call on that. BTW, that 2 gigabit thing is more for in case you have more than 2 adapters in use to prevent bottlenecking in the powerline. They still only have gigabit network ports.
They can certainly be handy for some setups. That's pretty neat with the 2gbps, though on mine that are 1gbps I never would get near that. Something really odd that I've encountered with them when used them to bring network to tv stuff downstairs in a ~50 year old semi-detached home. The neighbours on the other side of the wall are also using tp-links and their tv always tries to connect to my network. There was something very lacking in the config options when tried to sort it out, but it's been a while since run them.
@@silversonic1 Kind of old houses, old wiring running (I assume) beside each other. Had a powerline in one bedroom and the sitting room, both with them using a plug socket on the connecting wall. I had access to their device's menu, and via a little messing around with an additional managed switch, port-mirroring, and wireshark...could have done more than just use their Netflix account, but I'm pretty ethical. Has me thinking to set them up again just to see what it was in settings being poor, had to have been something like them acting like a different network that was not changeable.
still can't believe Intel bailed on this gem of content. glad AMD picked up their slack. this content is some of the most fun stuff i get to watch.
When they talked about it last time it sounded like the corporate machine just moved to slow to approve more episodes and AMD swooped in very quickly.
Most of my Intel approval came from Intel extreme tech upgrade. You don't have to be Einstein to figure out what happened next 😂😂
They didnt bail they were contracted for X amount of them and then AMD stepped in when intel was swapping CEOs

I love Adam, his vibe is brilliant, I WANT MORE VIDEOS WITH HIM
I second this
If I close my eyes, his voice reminds me of Garth! And I love Garth!
The Texh Upgrade is also a super smart investment in the future of the channel. Like who can be a host infront of the camera as well, who is maybe a natural talent and a crowd pleaser.
And it also shows how huge the company actually is and how many people it takes to run such a huge channel.
There are just so many wins in this one section. These are by far my favourite videos on this channel or maybe any channel.
When Linus says: I'm allowed to unbox things and covering his territory.... don't know why I laughed so loud.
If this is the same Adam I talk to you're amazing dude and you deserve that tech upgrade!!!!
LTT store is usually spot on. The only problem I ever had with them was last year during the holidays you were supposed to get a free set of shoe strings in 4 months later another box of shoe strings came along. Apparently you're supposed to get two of them. Adam help me out and assured me that it wasn't ordered by mistake

As a future note to Linus and the team, you can use a steam account to download over a local network from one computer to another. We loaded BG3 to my computer from my cousin's in about 15 minutes over the local network when my internet was out so my friend and I could play over the LAN.
So you didn't need to take out the SSD from the laptop to speed it up lol
Though, the update still would have been required.
That would still take a lot longer than copying it straight from the NVMe SSD. 1Gbps network is only 125MB/s
I think they knew that already, because if I recall correctly they use that exact method for the LAN event
Honestly the setting should be ON by default since it is so useful. It's also a great way to save that bandwidth, especially if you have a monthly cap.
What a great upgrade for £5k. I'd be tempted to throw it all into my PC but honestly spreading it out like this is also a great choice. Adam seems like a really chill guy too I like him, would be happy to see more of him in future videos
To be fair, 5k into the pc alone is actually quite difficult.if you don't comp,etely waste money on a 4090, you get a super high end graphics card (7900xtx or 4080) for around 1200, around 500 for a really highe nd cpu, maybe 200 for the case, 300 for combined storage, 150 for ram and probably another 300 for coolers, extra fans and such. Oh, and 200 if you want a really fancy case. So around 3000 pounds for best ins lot components with the motherboard included, you litera,ly can't really spend more than that unless you go for weird artsy or branded stuff, and even there cable mod cables and such won't set you back to much.
Love, that you guys are able to continue the Upgrading-Series.
After Linus profited that setup in the intro with "I have to do anything to make you happy", they should have doubled down on it and handed Linus a choker and a leash and said put this on and get on your knees. It was the perfect setup for a dom-sub joke :p
nice man. enjoyed it, pleasantly awkward. would like to see this man on screen more often, thank you for a great video.
Probably my favorite series, always get excited to see another video drop
The freaking cat piano had me rolling 🤣
It seemed such a Linus ADHD thing to do rather than wait 6 minutes to dl a game patch.
Linus, you guys should utilize Adam Pilolla more in vids. He has good character and just seems like a cool dude.
Collin is the unspoken hero of this video. He is so funny
FYI if you setup multiple devices on the same network, Steam will download it from your other network machine. Been doing that with my Ally for a while and its saved me sooo much time.
Still can't believe Intel threw away this great sponsorship series, what was the marketing team thinking?
Convenient that they did so around when AMD became the leader in gaming CPUs though haha
I really like the light-hearted feel of this one, i love how these videos are getting alot better in terms of fun factor
Adam has been one of if not my favorite shopper so far
My cat couldn't have cared less about the cat piano. I at least expected her to pick her head up.
I haven't seen him before but he seems like a real down to earth dude that deserved this upgrade. Glad he got this and amd took over what Intel left.
A Gaggia Classic? Nice. Keeping in the theme of most bang for the buck, I approve! One of my favorite upgrades so far. Will there be DIY upgrades for the machine?
I was super stooked to see Adam want to build it himself.
Not gonna lie this was my favourite one yet, It shows how much you can get being a savvy shopper on a budget, Props to Adam!
I love computer build videos, but AMD's gift for your employees has increased the quality even more so. MOAR
I like Adam's vibe, nice energy going on in this video.
This guy is cool af, would be nice to see him again in futer videos
I love this series. I like ti see who "borrows" office things.
I love Collins silent mild trolling every so often. He has such a great presence even without saying a word.
A men of culture. Adam built a sick system, had a 1000$ GPU, an 800$ table AND still manages to have a beautiful coffee machine. Well done.
I love powerline networking. Good call on that. BTW, that 2 gigabit thing is more for in case you have more than 2 adapters in use to prevent bottlenecking in the powerline. They still only have gigabit network ports.
They can certainly be handy for some setups. That's pretty neat with the 2gbps, though on mine that are 1gbps I never would get near that.
Something really odd that I've encountered with them when used them to bring network to tv stuff downstairs in a ~50 year old semi-detached home. The neighbours on the other side of the wall are also using tp-links and their tv always tries to connect to my network. There was something very lacking in the config options when tried to sort it out, but it's been a while since run them.
@@benwu7980 Supposedly they're supposed to have security to prevent that, but I have never even tried to verify that.
@@silversonic1 Kind of old houses, old wiring running (I assume) beside each other. Had a powerline in one bedroom and the sitting room, both with them using a plug socket on the connecting wall.
I had access to their device's menu, and via a little messing around with an additional managed switch, port-mirroring, and wireshark...could have done more than just use their Netflix account, but I'm pretty ethical.
Has me thinking to set them up again just to see what it was in settings being poor, had to have been something like them acting like a different network that was not changeable.
I love this guy, super likable! Get him on more often!
I love Collin, I kinda want him to be a silent presence in more vids now
Colin don't say much eh?
About time Adam got some love he's been a great CSA over the years, interacted with whim via email a few times.
If wholesome was a person it would be Adam.
