1
This is world's cheapest laptop all the way to the most expensive.
2
So let's see what improves as you spend more money.
3
And does expensive necessarily mean better?
4
So at just $70, we have the Coda 1.1.
5
Pretty basic unboxing experience.
6
It just comes presented in some foam inserts.
7
But even then, how is this possible for that price?
8
This is a full laptop.
9
It's thin, it's light, it's got a smooth matte finish.
10
And like, it's not even badly built.
11
The hinge is smooth, the body doesn't creak.
12
This $70 laptop comes with 12 months of Microsoft apps included worth $60.
13
The delivery was free.
14
Oh my god.
15
The trackpad's probably a 5 out of 10.
16
It's a little bit small and rough, but it does respond to multi-touch gestures.
17
This keyboard though, this I would give a 6 to.
18
The keys have nice travel, which gives that satisfying typewriter-like experience.
19
Only downside is the plastic around the keys does flex a little bit as you press.
20
Now, for every laptop, we're also going to run Cinebench, which gets the computer to render this incredibly realistic, difficult scenario to see how powerful the processor is.
21
So in this case, our dual-core 1.1 gigahertz Intel Celeron is really struggling.
22
This is like watching paint dry, which leads us to a pretty lowly score of 308 points.
23
To be fair, though, you really don't need much power to run things like Microsoft Word.
24
And this is plenty.
25
And then, to test the graphics, GTA V.
26
This is quite funny.
27
The laptop's 64 gigabytes of internal memory is not even enough to hold the game.
28
So running it off this, which costs about three times as much as the laptop.
29
Another fun fact, this laptop actually doesn't have the graphics power to even be able to open GTA 5 in full screen.
30
So we actually have to go into the app config file
31
and tweak the settings so that it only opens in this windowed mode, and then we full screen it.
32
Oh my gosh, it's running at like four frames per second.
33
So we're running this at 800 by 600 resolution.
34
That's like a smartphone resolution from 12 years ago.
35
Hardest thing to process here is the loading times of everything.
36
I'm waiting for this game to load for about 10 minutes.
37
Oh my god, we're in!
38
But it does look like a mobile game in a best case scenario.
39
I'll move my finger across the trackpad, and like a full two seconds later the laptop follows.
40
Feels kind of ironic trying to sprint in this condition.
41
Okay, so we've jumped online and I clicked Quick Join into a real other person's race.
42
Although the irony of quick is not lost on me.
43
I'm so sorry Mona1968.
44
It's actually just occurred to me how much lag is going to be introduced into this session from my end.
45
It's a bit old to be playing game.
46
So yeah, 1968 on GTA 5.
47
My mum's age.
48
Hey, off we go!
49
Oh, look how their car's just jumping!
50
There is so much lag happening right now.
51
Probably mostly on my end.
52
I've just gone through a building.
53
That shouldn't have happened.
54
I just got absolutely whooped by a 55-year-old.
55
So how much more does $500 get you?
56
This is the Lenovo V15 G2.
57
And first impressions, the unboxing is surprisingly similar.
58
It's still a plain cardboard box, which just like last time comes with a laptop embedded between two pieces of foam and then a charger.
59
But in terms of the actual machine itself, big difference.
60
The webcam's gone from a slightly laggy, pretty grainy 720p image on the Coda, to a slightly higher quality, but still 720p webcam.
61
But it does have a light that shows you when a program is accessing it, and even a manual shutter that you can use to physically cover it up during your private moments.
62
There's more ports on the sides, including a full-on ethernet for wired internet, a Kensington lock port, which lets you physically restrain your laptop to your office table, for example.
63
And also a USB 3.2 port, which if I try and transfer across the same file on both of these laptops, On the Coda, I drop that onto the desktop.
64
It took about five seconds.
65
Drag the same file across. That just happened instantly.
66
There was no loading bar.
67
I guess it makes sense.
68
Theoretically, USB 3.2 is 10 times faster than USB 2.0.
69
I like this trackpad.
70
It's made of a noticeably smoother material.
71
And if you listen to the click sounds that the Coda makes compared to this, the Lenovo does feel more refined and put together.
72
7 out of 10.
73
The keys are also smoother.
74
They're very cushioned and there's no flexing of the body at all when you hit them, which is great for typing quietly, but does lose a little bit of that satisfying, chaotic typing energy that the coder has.
75
So I'd keep my rating at a 6 overall.
76
Oh, we haven't talked about speakers yet.
77
Both laptops have bottom firing speakers, which does sound like a strange idea, but it's actually done with a lot of mid-price machines like this to try and bounce the sound into your face,
78
as opposed to just blindly shooting up into the ceiling.
79
But the sound quality is way up.
80
This is the $70 Coda.
81
I'mma break your neck.
82
Well, the point is you can tell that these are low power speakers that are not moving a lot of air.
83
But for $500, much better.
84
It lacks a little bit of sharpness, but it's good enough.
85
The screen's gone from an 11.6 inch to a 15.6 inch, which is about two times the area.
86
Although I would say the contrast is slightly worse.
87
And the viewing angles kind of suck because this is a TN panel, which is the most basic form of modern LCD.
88
But where I am noticing the biggest improvement with this $500 laptop is the performance.
89
Everything takes so long to happen on the Coder.
90
Even pulling up the Bing homepage is a big ask, although it might just not want to, I can see why.
91
But everything here is happening many times faster, fast enough that it doesn't feel like a burden.
92
And that's because for starters, the storage has gone up from 64 gigabytes of simple flash memory to 256 gigabytes of fast M.2 SSD.
93
There's a better wifi chip and better antenna, which is making such a difference that we're stuck at 40 megabits per second here, but we're at 200 on the Lenovo.
94
Even though we're the same distance from the same network, is the benefit of being compatible with Wi-Fi 6, which this one isn't.
95
The process has been upgraded from a 1.1 gigahertz dual core
96
to a 2.6 gigahertz AMD Ryzen 3 quad core with actually eight threads, meaning that it can handle even more workflows,
97
leading to an astronomical CPU bump on Cinebench all the way from 308 points to 4,942.
98
That's actually wild.
99
Suspending seven times more does actually get you a lot more than seven times the performance.
100
16 times in this case.
101
And of course, this upgraded chip also has upgraded graphics baked into it.
102
So if we pull up GTA 5 again, so much better.
103
It actually looks like a proper PC game now.
104
I don't love the lack of contrast on this screen.
105
It does look quite washed out.
106
But it is thankfully running at at least 30 frames per second, which is smooth enough that you can kind of just not think about it.
107
Let's see if we can find Mona 1968 again.
108
Let's give us something to moan about.
109
Now that I'm back with some proper equipment.
110
It's been a long time since I've played proper PC games.
111
But you know what? it is pretty cool that for $500 you can play GTA 5 on quite easily medium settings.
112
Meaning that from the next laptop onwards we're going to be going even past the technical max limit of this game.
113
But let's see for ourselves.
114
This is where things get properly exciting, the $1200 MSI Katana.
115
You can definitely tell the weight of the package has gone up, but I'm quite surprised to see that the quality of the presentation is kind of the same.
116
There's a much larger power supply to keep something of this caliber juiced up in the laptop.
117
It does beg I'll beg the obvious question, the $500 laptop is already at the point where there's very little wrong with it.
118
So what on earth do you get for two and a half times the price of that?
119
Okay, the webpage of this laptop is actually hilarious.
120
The new Katana GF76 is built with the same exquisite craftsmanship used to forge a blade.
121
What do I do with that knowledge?
122
The sub to the channel would be.. fruity.
123
Anyways, aside from the blade-like properties, the first thing I'm noticing is that it is even bigger.
124
There's no beating around the bush.
125
This is one of the chonkiest laptops I've ever laid my hands on.
126
And it's kind of great because, you know, there's so much space to rest your hands on.
127
But I wouldn't necessarily say that the build quality is any higher.
128
It's about the same.
129
The trackpad's still on the smaller side.
130
I have no idea why when they have this much room for it.
131
It's good quality, but I'm not loving the amount of force you need to put in to click it.
132
But I am enjoying this keyboard.
133
It's backlit for starters, which is an actual game changer if you're planning on using it in bed at night.
134
Though it is kind of evil looking, so don't know how I feel about that.
135
And then the majority of the keys, they are still a little bit on the soft side.
136
They don't have a huge amount of travel, which is less fun for typing.
137
But it means you can be more responsive when you're gaming.
138
And they've at least made sure that the spacebar and the enter key do feel distinct and satisfying.
139
I could do this for quite a long time.
140
Very fun.
141
8 out of 10.
142
But $1,200 is well within what I would call the luxury price range.
143
So at this point, it's not just about how good the fundamentals are.
144
It's also the other niceties.
145
For example, it leans a lot more into gaming-specific features.
146
So you've got this entire MSI suite, which lets you do literally any kind of fiddling you could possibly think of.
147
There's gaming mode, Wi-Fi analysis, hardware diagnosis, everything.
148
You get high-res audio, still coming from two downwards-facing speakers, but those now have two watts of power each instead of 1.5.
149
So this is the base of the last laptop.
150
Again, very inoffensive sound.
151
There's nothing wrong with it.
152
And this is $1,200.
153
It's definitely punchier, and I can also tell more spatial separation, potentially just because there's more distance between the two speakers.
154
But doesn't it feel like a whole tier above?
155
I would say though, general browsing around on the internet feels way quicker.
156
And if we run one of these speed tests, you will probably be able to see why.
157
So again, same connection to the same network, but this has faster download speed by about 50 megabits per second, almost double the upload speed.
158
But the biggest improvement you're getting between these two price points is the latency.
159
It's gone all the way from 102 milliseconds to just 27.
160
And when you've got general internet speeds as fast as this, the latency actually becomes the bigger determining factor in the overall experience.
161
Oh yeah, also the screen, huge leap.
162
I mean to start with, just like the rest of the laptop, it's bigger at 17.3 inches.
163
Which might sound like a subtle difference versus 15.6, but in total that's about 25% more screen area.
164
Which I'd actually say is very much the difference between this feeling like a laptop experience, tidying me over until I get home to my proper rig, and feeling like you're at your main workstation.
165
Like, this is the place where the job gets done.
166
But also, this is an IPS panel, which compared to this TN panel is brighter, has more poppy colors and better contrast, and has a 144Hz refresh rate versus 60Hz.
167
It'll be tough for you to experience it just through the camera, but trust me, all the scrolling and the browsing feels next level responsive.
168
And definitely like you're getting treated as opposed to it just being purely functional.
169
But I think the thing you'll be most surprised by is the power difference.
170
So in terms of CPU now, we have a 12th gen Intel i7.
171
And it's actually kind of wild.
172
It's got 14 cores and 20 threads.
173
And if we run the same Cinebench benchmark, that's 14,744.
174
Or in other words, full on three times improvement, which yet again, it's more than the difference in price.
175
But this is what I'm here for, the graphics.
176
This is the single biggest jump with this laptop
177
because we've moved from integrated graphics at $500 to a dedicated RTX 3060 graphics card now, which as far as the general population's laptops are concerned,
178
easily puts this in the top 5%.
179
should be a night and day improvement.
180
It's loaded in about a third of the time than the last one.
181
And the cool bit is that this is powerful enough that this isn't even running just normal GTA.
182
This is GTA plus an additional set of graphics mods called the ENB series, which adds on additional effects like depth of fields and motion blur and better water.
183
This is the biggest jump so far.
184
Textures are super high resolution.
185
Now this graphics card also supports real time ray tracing, which is why the lighting looks so ridiculously realistic.
186
I can't even picture what the next laptop's gonna look like.
187
And you can see the lighting in real time on these cars going past.
188
So if $1,200 is already the luxury premium experience, what on earth does a $7,000 laptop even do?
189
Time for the mothership, the MSI Titan.
190
All of a sudden, the presentation has taken not just a step, but a leap forward.
191
The box is super premium and dense.
192
The laptop is the first thing you see, and it comes packing.
193
You get a little dragon, for some reason you get a 128GB USB stick, which is pretty cool because it's got separate ends for both USB-C and USB-A,
194
and it's actually double the storage that the entire first laptop came with.
195
The thing even comes with a proper mouse inside, and then a power supply rivaling the volume of the first laptop.
196
The Titan itself.
197
My god, what has this thing been eating?
198
So, to answer the question, at $7,000, you get everything.
199
Every cutting-edge feature that a laptop could possibly offer, everything that you don't need but you really, really want, it's here.
200
So, for example, this is not just a standard membrane keyboard like the rest of the laptops have.
201
Or in other words, one big plastic sheet with pressure pads underneath each key.
202
This is a mechanical keyboard.
203
Every single key is its own moving part, with its own mechanism to make each press just feel that extra bit crispy and purposeful.
204
I didn't know this until I just used it, but as far as laptop keyboards go, this is what a 10 feels like.
205
Plus, the LED system makes it look like a unicorn just vomited all over it, and I'm not complaining about that.
206
There are lights everywhere on this thing.
207
There's the keyboard, there's the logo, these two strips over here, the engine?
208
What even is this?
209
And the control that you get over them is absolutely nuts.
210
I mean, look at this software.
211
Just for the logo alone, I can pick every colour it cycles through, the speed it cycles, how it cycles, and here at the bottom, I've got individual control over every single one of these zones.
212
And the keyboard is even more insane.
213
You can literally customise how each individual key reacts to being pressed.
214
This is kind of a fun exercise.
215
So this is how the speakers sounded on the original $70 laptop.
216
This uses this as a point of reference of where we've come from.
217
This is what the Titan sounds like.
218
This is a world of difference.
219
I mean, technically, that's not a huge surprise.
220
This laptop is 100 times the price of this laptop.
221
And it has a quad speaker system with two separate woofers just to handle bass.
222
It's only just fully occurring to me how ridiculously bright this screen is.
223
It's got the same 144Hz refresh rate as the last one.
224
But instead of it being a full HD IPS panel, it's an ultra HD mini LED panel.
225
It's based on similar LCD tech as before, but instead of having like one main backlight that shines onto it,
226
you have thousands of tiny LEDs that give you basically extreme levels of color fidelity and contrast.
227
Or in other words, it's two times the brightness and four times the resolution.
228
I mean, I could just keep going on and on.
229
It's got even more extreme Wi-Fi, to the point where your router is going to be the bottleneck.
230
Even faster USB ports, to the point where whatever you're transferring from will be the limiting factor.
231
A proper cooling system, four fans, six exhausts and eight pipes.
232
But the thing that I'm most interested in is what this means for performance and gaming.
233
So this is running the Intel Core i9 13980HX processor, which is probably the most gobbledygook naming I've ever heard from a tech company.
234
But basically means 24 cores, 32 threads, a technical max of 5.6 gigahertz without even overclocking, and 29,604 points on Cinebench.
235
More than doubling the already high ceiling of the last laptop.
236
And the RTX 4090 graphics is an even bigger jump.
237
It's going to mean we can take Grand Theft Auto to a whole other level.
238
Oh my goodness.
239
So you know how with the last laptop we had a graphics mod on GTA.
240
Right now, we're running 11 separate graphics mods at the same time.
241
And this looks absolutely ridiculous.
242
This is probably the most advanced graphics I've ever seen on a video game.
243
There are mods for everything right now.
244
Lighting, textures, bloom, ray tracing.
245
I don't know.
246
Even stuff like the density of vegetation.
247
Goodness me.
248
Look at the reflections of the entire city on the water.
249
I will say the fans are going absolutely out of control.
250
Completely worth it though for this.
251
One thing that I find absolutely hilarious though is that for all the things this laptop does, look at the quality of the webcam.
252
Why MSI?
253
Why?
254
Now, if you ever find yourself spending large sums of money online like I have here, please do yourself a favor and install PayPal Honey, because it helps you avoid paying any more than you need to.
255
Like for this MSI Katana laptop, I was going to buy it for the full $1400 that it was meant to be, but in one second Honey was just like, nope, you can get it cheaper here.
256
And then And then when there isn't a cheaper website, you just tap the Honey button in your browser, and it'll automatically search through currently available coupon codes for the website you're on,
257
and just apply the one that saves you the most money.
258
And on average, when it finds a coupon code, it's saving you 18% on sites that you're already shopping on.
259
It doesn't make sense to not be using this.
260
So just add it to your browser now for free at joinhoney.com slash boss.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
