I went a bit off the books for this video. Hope you guys still enjoyed it =) Thanks for the support 2D fam! If you’re wondering why I played Overwatch and not some other more graphically demanding game. It’s because I’ve been trying to get into top 500 in Overwatch this season and I straight up find my aim being thrown off when I switch games. I’ve become an Overwatch snob. I’m such a loser. LULZ.
Dave Lee ur main ?
u said u will campare laptops under 1000$ its over a moonth but no video
lol
Dave Lee I see you showing off your overwatch rank ;)
You are awesome Dave Lee
4 years ago it costed 9,000$, now its comparable to a 1000$ laptop. Amazing how technology evolves rapidly.
@JeckNoTree exactly!!! People just talk and say anything 😂
@JeckNoTree well you can get a 3090 laptop for 2k giving similar performance
This laptop was never worth 9K. We haven't improved 9-fold in 4 years.
Do we even have a $1000 laptop that has performance as close to this? In terms of graphics..... maybe not (yet). In terms of cpu..... maybe yes, when the upcoming Intel 12th gen cpu comes out. But I dont think the price would be exact $1000. Maybe 1300~1600.
@@ddaarrkknneezz Intel is a mistake at this point. A $999 macbook air or even cheaper iPad with M1 toasts this predator 21X on CPU, memory speed and bandwidth, storage speed and capacity (at a price). Graphics is of course still great on the predator but it doesn't support RTX, so it's quickly outdated for gaming and thus a pointless $9K exercise at its core purpose.
5:48 - Proof you can game on a Macbook
I play game at max with external rx 480

Branden Barnett fuck macs overpriced garbage
Branden Barnett q
Krypticality overpriced yeah, garbage alright man, come back to reality and don't just shit talk.
paradiddlepedro they're pretty garbage, I bought one to look "cool" in 2013, honest waste of my money
Krypticality well now I know you don't know what you're talking about because the 2013-2015 varients were the best all around laptops including the specs. easily beating the competition at that price point. The only other laptop in the same class was the xps.
Straight back from 2023 considering the 13980hx combo with rtx 4090 gpu in thin portable laptops Man technology evolved really fast ❤
6 years a notebook can do that now
My impressions on this when i watched this video 4 years ago and now in 2021 is freaking day and night... Its just amazing how gaming tech has improved this much in just 4 years....
When your so rich that u use your Mac book as a mouse pad

Came back to thsi vid 3 years later, I smiled when I saw the specs, but especially when I saw the CPU and i7 BRUH
Kinda amazing that you can get this kind of performance from way lighter and thinner laptops now, which might even be cheaper
Ye ik now there’s 30 series laptops for a size of a normal laptop
Finally a laptop that will run Crysis at medium settings.
He can buy a good gaming pc for that money

No laptop can compete with Alienware
I remember back in the day these specs were cutting edge but now it's just your average gaming desktop in a laptop.
I know right. Now we have 1000$ Laptops that can easily outperform it thanks to AMD's Ryzen.
"back in the day" it's only 3 years. Lmao
dude i saved for 5 years to get a ryzen 5 3400g r u kidding me
exactly
I’d like your comment but it’s at 69
And 3 years later in 2020 I got a Dell XPS 9700 that has a CPU which is 80% faster than the one in this laptop.
The funniest thing here is that this laptop cant run Windows 11 officially. Imagine the other people who bought it for the sake of longevity just to hear Microsoft announce only 8th gen and up will support Windows 11? $9000 wasted.
Just use windows 10, its like 11 but cool😎
@@WIProgress true windows 11 is just trash
Amazing how this laptops is "slow" on today's standards

fr tho
looking back at this over 4 years after this was uploaded, im surprised a laptop costs so much with only dual 1080's, damn.
Saw this video when I was in high school and fantasized about having it for a while. By today’s standards, this laptop would be completely outdated lmfao
just like any current laptop
but I agree lol
Imagine a guy in your class just pulls out this laptop out from his bag Edit:1.7k likes BruH oK
You would probably first notice the big black guy standing next to him.
You mean he pulls it out of the hard suit case.
@Joshy i think he means a big black bodyguard
I was hoping to get this comment
But my school didn't allow me to carry a Laptop
Just wait until the guys at the coffee shop see me with this bad boy.
Eric Bandholz you're gonna destroy the coffee tables lol.
make sure you also take your portable table, gas and your 10k watt power generator.
and your mac mousepad
You gonna have to bring that big ass weapons case too. xD make it look like you're pulling out a weapon LMAO.
You can keep your coffee warm by leaving it next the ventilation.
today's equivalent of this computer's specs: cpu: ryzen 5 4500u gpu: slightly more power than 3080 mobile in other words, this laptop in today's market is a competitor with a thin-and-light zephyrus.
thats actually crazy. Shows how much R&D is involved in laptop manufacturing.
Seeing this 6 years after and knowing that these specs are obsolete for today's games at max config, makes buy the Framework 16 gaming laptop a must. The fact that this old time beast is locked in specs and cannot be upgraded is a sad thing.
Storage and ram would be the only thing that can be upgraded in laptops. Unless they made it where you can replace the motherboard as well besides the cpu and graphics card. 64gb ram is sufficient even by todays standards.
the GPU is roughly a 3060ti/4060ti, still very capable by today's standars. CPU is lackluster.
@@andrewlilad9978 if they replicated something like this with new processor like i9 and the newest gpu along with ram and storage upgrades it can hold its own for like 10 years in playing the newest games along the timeline.
That's complete and utter nonsense. This laptop will be just fine for high ultra at 1080p
Preach. I personally rock a framework 16 and I love that thing to death, even moreso knowing that down the line I can easily get a better battery in it, or a newer gpu.
5:46 his so rich he uses a MacBook as a mousepad lol
he bought the macbook to play candycrush when once he forgot his phone
It's so easy to copy someone's comment lmao, get creative.
Yet he's using a mouse that some homeless guy forgot next to his piss bottle. What is that piece of shit?
Thats what the macbook is good for
lol
WoW, just WOW! Predator took it way past the other side sanity x Thanks for sharing!
Wow just wow!! Never thought that such a laptop exists, glad you unboxed it with demo. Thanks.
this laptop is considered low end for todays standards lmao
5:47 finally someone used the mac for the purpose it was made for.
SAVAGE! lls
I know you poor and jealous. Don't take this risk
Secretly you want one but you cant afford it.
i paid the same price,actually a little less,for a gaming laptop,which im happy about.Now go cry to uncle Tim Cook and tell him to make his products better.
You're clearly not happy, you have to make a joke about a MacBook because you know deep down you wasted money on a clunky plastic "gaming laptop" with a battery life of 3 mins on some garbage quality screen and build quality.
like beacause you used a mac as a mousepad
Martin Quijano uses a MacBook for the only thing it's good for.

Oh my god how far has technology come in 4 years ?? Today's laptops you get for a fraction of the price , are faster and you can carry it around with a backpack . This is hilariously chunky !
I feel like a laptop this powerful is just unnecessary because money like this can be saved and used for later laptops that probably outperform this one and cost less. Also, I would never feel safe taking this laptop anywhere, so I would leave it at home. Therefore, a desktop, that is probably cheaper and better-performing, serves me the same purpose.
You make some pretty great points.
yeaH....
Probably for people who move a lot from place to place and need good performance AND have a lot spare money
and when the next laptop comes out more powerful, you can wait for the next even more powerful. And when it's out, you can wait and the cycle keeps on going because its going to keep on going to be more powerful endlessly.
