1
what did you do to this i mean
2
i've had this for five years i didn't ask how long
3
you had it i asked what you did to it i dropped
4
it one time off of a table like below my hip height it landed on the corner
5
and it just got completely bent all the other damage is
6
like oh yeah one of the screws is missing uh the screen is peeling here
7
it's kind of like there's a crack i put tape over it but That's an awful lot of words for dad.
8
I need a new laptop.
9
At least the timing is good for this.
10
He goes back to school in a week.
11
But with that said, just because you're not back to school yet, doesn't mean that you can't start learning.
12
Every other piece of technology in his life.
13
I've done the research, I've made the purchase and pretty much handed it to him.
14
This time you're on your own.
15
Oh joy.
16
to be honest it wasn't
17
that hard to do all the research I mean I just figured out what all the specs mean
18
and like what I want for school okay
19
but are you sure you've actually made a good decision I have a couple options for my top few
20
and then I'll show those to you later okay
21
so I guess we'll get to find out what
22
that means to him
23
you started of course by watching the LTT guide on how to choose a laptop right no
24
i didn't even know that was a thing classic
25
but you know what everyone knows is a thing is this
26
segue to our sponsor oh snap the shamus o snapperton story
27
learn the tale of how one simple man with one grand invention helped a homestead get a grip
28
and build a life for themselves tune in tonight 7 p .m pacific 9 p .m central on ldd
29
first things first why don't you show me the initial research
30
that you've done could we look at it on my phone instead uh
31
you know i'll get my laptop let me have a look
32
at what you got here sorry the notes might be a little bit messy
33
i kind of just put everything in random order okay things
34
i don't know gigahertz p cores e cores purpose of ram and is that all stuff that you've figured out already?
35
Yeah.
36
I researched about all of these and then...
37
Okay.
38
So tell you what, without even looking at the dock then, why don't you try and summarize what exactly it is that you're looking for?
39
I want a chip that is able to actually run like 50 tabs at a time.
40
50?
41
Well, yeah, if I have five sub...
42
Them's rookie numbers.
43
VRAM drop.
44
Oh, no!
45
But okay, go on.
46
Well, my old Chromebook would like crash if I had 50 tabs open
47
so okay I want no lag with 50 tabs okay
48
so I probably need like 16 gigabytes of RAM okay
49
and a chip with maybe four to eight cores
50
and okay four to five gigahertz okay for storage
51
I want at least 512 gigabytes of storage 64 gigabytes was fine on my old Chromebook but since it can't even access
52
Windows apps it doesn't really need much more storage right
53
so that's a major difference this time he's going into high school
54
so all of a sudden while the school so
55
while the school allows him to use a chromebook
56
he actually doesn't have to anymore maybe awkward question though i walked down the stairs
57
while you were on your computer and i looked over your shoulder
58
and i saw apple .com i was thinking about it
59
but no it's so expensive
60
and the main benefit of all your devices being connected to each other I don't even get
61
that since I don't have other Apple devices.
62
I mean, you've got AirPods.
63
But that's just Bluetooth.
64
I can connect that to whatever.
65
That's fair enough.
66
We actually had a short conversation about it.
67
He just goes, why are these so expensive?
68
Does anyone actually buy these?
69
Yes.
70
Yes, they do.
71
It's like an addiction.
72
Like once you get into Apple, you can't get out.
73
But it's like you just have to get in first.
74
So I'm trying not to do that.
75
Okay.
76
Okay.
77
That's fair enough.
78
The MacBook Neo only has eight gigs at nearly $1 ,000.
79
Yeah.
80
The Neo used to be a really good deal though
81
when it first came out
82
but now the price has gone up the price for everything went up ram is
83
so expensive ai is like taking over it sounds like you actually want pretty reasonable specs
84
i even see your weight requirements here you just want something
85
that's under five pounds
86
i mean five pounds is really heavy do you have any idea what a five pound laptop feels like no
87
you did all your research online right yeah why don't we go look at some actual laptops
88
and Experience them a little bit before you make a final decision.
89
Okay.
90
Okay.
91
Let's do that.
92
Where are we going? Where are we going? Where are you going?
93
He's new to filming Doesn't know how to walk out of the frame as a transition
94
Okay, but seriously, where are we going?
95
The original plan was for us to go shopping, but what I realized is two things.
96
First, that since you did all of your research online,
97
the models that we would see in store might not even be the same ones that you saw in your research.
98
And number two is we sent our request to Best Buy Langley to film in the store too late, so we did not get permission.
99
So instead, we're going to drop by our inventory over at the lab this will give you a chance to
100
while it's not necessarily the specific machine
101
you're looking at really get a feel for what different classes of machines feel like
102
i brought a shipping scale and a backpack
103
so you can have a look at different weights of machines
104
and like put them on and see how they feel to walk around with
105
because you're gonna be carrying it basically all day can't possibly be
106
that heavy five pounds is like one twentieth one thirtieth of my weight.
107
Okay.
108
Let's find a five pound machine then.
109
Oh my goodness.
110
Is that really what you want?
111
I didn't think so.
112
There's no way this is, this has to be like six pounds.
113
4 .73 pounds.
114
Okay.
115
A five pound laptop is a mondo like gaming machine grade laptop, which is actually a pretty good question.
116
Now, obviously I don't want it to distract from your studies, but do you want something that can run games at all?
117
I mean, kind of at least, but I do have my PC at home, so I can just come home and play games.
118
That is such a good answer.
119
Love it.
120
Gold star.
121
With all that said, I don't know that you want to go completely to the other end of the spectrum either.
122
Wow, that is tiny.
123
Yeah, that's one of the older LG Grams that really focused on being as light as possible at the expense of,
124
you know, that it might come apart at some point,
125
and also you don't get really a very big battery i need it to last the whole school day
126
if it dies that if
127
that sucks another thing you haven't mentioned is do you care what kinds of ports
128
it has no as long as it has a charging port okay
129
it doesn't matter fair enough then is there anything
130
that you've seen then that has made you kind of change your mind about the research
131
that you did so far i don't think
132
so okay want to show me what you settled on then yeah oh was it too heavy for no
133
you you like slammed the back of it onto the all right chill i mean i don't know
134
if that's what happened it's like how you drop stuff off 30
135
we got oh god a nice mouse fastest upgrade ever how much does your laptop cost uh don't worry about
136
that you're not getting one like this this is i think
137
about 4 000 us dollars what it has 128 gigs of like the fastest ram
138
and 16 core processor ludicrous onboard graphics it's not the kind of thing
139
that i would actually buy it's the kind of thing
140
that our asus rep just was like hey we really want you to try this
141
and i was like okay
142
so you just get free stuff that's cool i mean
143
it's not really free like i've provided them a bunch of feedback on my experience with it
144
so that has a value i think one petabyte uh yeah
145
so our google drive storage scales with how many people we have on the account
146
and we have like over 100 people so oh okay i thought
147
that was like on here no heavens no okay show me what you got
148
there's three other things we haven't talked about yet something with the touch screen
149
because these trackpads i hate them
150
so much it having to click on these all day like hurts your finger
151
they're not accurate nobody tell them about macbook trackpads they're really good
152
and then a large screen too
153
because the old 13 .3 inch screen was just a little bit too small okay
154
and then 120 hertz okay after switching to my 120 hertz
155
phone 60 hertz just doesn't feel the same again okay show
156
me what you chose you'd go back to lenovo after what happened to your last one
157
that's bold the last laptop had a pretty low quality build it was like plastic
158
and aluminum these ones are just aluminum okay all right 15 inches though yeah i want a big laptop
159
so i can have two tabs open at the same time
160
all right ideapad slim 5x snapdragon interesting do you know what
161
that means a brand it's already fascinating watching a more normie shopping experience snapdragon uses a different instruction set architecture
162
which basically means that not all windows apps will necessarily run on
163
that machine they have good performance they get great battery life outstanding battery life
164
but you might occasionally run up against a piece of software
165
that doesn't open what are some examples of
166
that software um it's mostly not mainstream stuff it's mostly like oh
167
I want to like run this weird mod launcher for a game and it
168
Might just not be compatible.
169
That's probably fine.
170
This one also doesn't have a gigantic battery 54 .7 watt -hours is on the low side,
171
which is part of why this one is at a more reasonable price.
172
What do you got next?
173
Here's the one that was on sale.
174
So this is my you do not want a 16 -inch laptop.
175
Okay, let's go get one I'll show you why
176
That is a 16 -inch laptop.
177
It's beautiful.
178
Do most people not like big laptops?
179
tried to buy your mom a big laptop recently
180
and she literally took it back to the store every time i lend you my laptop you complain
181
that the screen is too small
182
well as long as it fits in my ltt backpack
183
it would be borderline
184
this is this is a really big laptop do you have an ltt backpack here kind of a question is
185
that something to note about this think book though is
186
that it has a more square screen
187
so it's actually going to be even larger
188
but not as like side -by -side friendly
189
so this is what a 16 -inch laptop would look like in here
190
you could stretch it around the corners is this the commuter
191
the similar okay coming very soon in this colorway by the way sign up for a notification lttstore .com okay
192
it's not even that much bigger than your It doesn't look bigger until you realize it's diagonal and it's like...
193
Which is exactly why a 16 inch screen is so much larger than a 15 .6.
194
I mean this would be nice, having two tabs.
195
Okay, alright.
196
And then these ones also have like the number pad.
197
So when I'm in math, it's way easier to do stuff.
198
Okay not everybody likes the number pad because what it means is that
199
when you're sitting dead on on your laptop
200
you're kind of like this the trackpad centered relative to the keyboard though not all this lenovo does it
201
and this vivobook does it but not all of them do
202
so sometimes it can be a little wonky show me your third choice
203
so i thought this was a bad deal till it went on sale
204
and now i'm like wow that's a good deal dedicated gpu not a powerful one
205
but absolutely enough to play rocket late for instance very gaming oriented
206
but check the weight
207
and also whenever you have a dedicated gpu you're going to get better performance in games
208
but anytime you're not running games
209
that gpu still has to be powered up a little bit
210
so you're going to give up a measurable amount of battery life i don't know
211
that there's any guarantee that this is going to get through the day
212
and also that's in spite of it having a 90 watt hour battery
213
so that battery is physically 75 80 % larger than that first machine you showed me.
214
And you gotta carry all that weight around.
215
2 .2 kilos, yeah, that's a five pound thick boy machine.
216
Five pounds is way more than I thought it'd be.
217
I mean, you lift, don't you?
218
Well, yeah, but like a five pound weight is lighter than a five pound laptop.
219
Huh?
220
It's like how cable lateral raises are heavier than lateral raises, like.
221
Jim bro logic.
222
Coming back to the ThinkBook 16 then, is this your top candidate at the moment?
223
Yeah, because it has two cores more than the IdeaPad and it's only like $40 more expensive.
224
Okay, now not all cores are made equal.
225
Did you learn about E cores and P cores?
226
E cores efficiency cores and P cores performance cores.
227
And there's even more to it than that.
228
So depending on the generation of those cores, they can be like way better or way not nearly as good as the other ones.
229
So eight cores could be worse than six cores.
230
If the eight cores are like lower generation.
231
yeah okay
232
so how do you how do you find the generation the generation number for intel is right here
233
so these are last gen they're pretty okay and the battery life should be pretty solid
234
this one that's the newest generation but these are those snapdragon ones
235
that have a bit less compatibility
236
so either of them is a pretty solid choice from a performance standpoint do you think
237
they're about the same it's hard for me to say for sure without benchmarking them
238
i say depending on the application this might be faster especially in like light single threaded tasks
239
but if you were to say render out a video
240
or something like
241
that just having more cores is probably going to benefit
242
you more than having faster ones is there anything else
243
you want to see oh did we have one of these surprise oh cool so we have a thinkbook 16.
244
okay you get to experience it in person then before you decide to buy it
245
so start with the weight it's not too bad actually I think that's more what I was expecting for five pounds, but, you know, it's okay.
246
I think the trackpad's too off -center.
247
That's a bit of a Lenovo -ism.
248
Do you think the fans get really loud?
249
The fan shouldn't be too bad.
250
It has onboard graphics, so it's not really like a powerful laptop or anything.
251
It won't sound like it's taken off.
252
The backlit keyboard is actually something...
253
I appreciate more than I thought I would like
254
when you're in the dark I don't know why you'd be in the dark, but you can actually see all the letters
255
How come they always come with these stickers?
256
Because The companies that make the chips inside them really want people to know about their chips.
257
So if the chips bad, I'll know who to blame it on Yeah, I don't think that's the way they generally see it
258
But yes, do you want to see any other machines in our inventory before you press order?
259
Yeah, I do
260
Okay, I see some of the other like kinds of laptops.
261
Sure.
262
Let's go have a look
263
This would be a class of laptop that you haven't seen yet
264
Why does it have like an ammo box for a case because it's loaded for bear boy?
265
No, this was not a meme.
266
This was a real product who bought this not many people.
267
It's not even portable
268
But it has a number pad I can really even hold it
269
and a full mechanical keyboard this one's interesting for your use case it was very expensive
270
when it came out
271
but i suspect it's worth a fair bit less today this is the spectre fold it's
272
so light too well you don't have the keyboard yet okay
273
so there's your laptop okay wow the keyboard's very heavy but
274
when it's time to get some work done you pop the kickstand
275
and that's your screen do you think this is over or under 16 inches?
276
Over.
277
The performance kind of sucks, and it thermal throttles, and it's a little bit loud, but it is a giant screen.
278
2K USD?
279
That's very expensive.
280
That's very expensive, but not totally, totally outlandish.
281
I could get two of the IdeaPads for the price of one of these.
282
That's true, but you can only use one laptop at a time, so.
283
Is it your money I'm spending, or is it my money I'm spending?
284
I mean, we're buying you a laptop for school, yeah.
285
So it's your money.
286
Yeah.
287
Also, I already have this, so that's a factor.
288
How good do you think the performance is?
289
Not very.
290
Never mind.
291
Like the worst.
292
Okay.
293
No thanks.
294
Cool.
295
Here's a 16 -inch Galaxy Book.
296
Does this have good performance?
297
It's okay.
298
How much is it?
299
Oh, that keyboard's nice.
300
It looks like a Galaxy Book 4
301
Edge would be worth about a very similar budget, actually, to what you were looking at.
302
So this is an older, last -generation Snapdragon chip, but those are already pretty decent.
303
16 gigs RAM, a terabyte of storage and 16 inch screen.
304
What about battery life?
305
Like how many hours do you think I could get?
306
You will get through the day.
307
So I guess that's something that I didn't really equip you with as part of your shopping, but second hand is always an option
308
and it can be a very attractive one as long as you're not giving up anything that really matters to you,
309
which in your case it seems like mostly comes down to battery life.
310
Are you ready to make a decision?
311
Who will you give your rose to?
312
I don't know, I kind of like this one.
313
Does it have a touch screen?
314
Probably.
315
Yes.
316
OLED touchscreen.
317
Is it 120 hertz?
318
Probably not.
319
No, it's 120 hertz according to Gemini and according to Notebook Check, which I believe before Gemini.
320
Okay, wow.
321
This actually fits all the requirements.
322
Okay, I'm going to double check the price because I feel like we may have been looking at the wrong models.
323
No. No, they're actually like really reasonably priced.
324
Wow, these book four edges might be a bit of a hack.
325
Here it is.
326
Here's the 16 -inch AMOLED model for about $1 ,000 Canadian dollars.
327
16 gigs of RAM.
328
It has a little bit less storage than this one, but this is clearly the same machine.
329
I think this might be the one then.
330
All right, big moment.
331
Borderline.
332
But it still fits.
333
Do we have a decision then?
334
Yeah, I'm going to take this laptop.
335
All right, happy back to school.
336
We settled on, go figure, Samsung's one of those companies that I do know cognitively that they make laptops, but I always forget about them.
337
But this ended up being a looks like a pretty solid choice, and this is a pretty solid segway
338
Leave me hanging.
339
Oh, I'm supposed to say it to our sponsor in the fall of
340
2009 early settlers made their way west to begin on a homesteading adventure
341
They tilled their fields grew their grain and yet time and time again
342
Faced a troublesome dilemma well they worked the folks of this small town were distracted
343
or worse dropped their slippery phones as they played bus stop borders and watched their favorite programs.
344
As the cold of winter crept in, Seamus Osnapperton knew the homes wouldn't finish on time when his friends kept dropping their phones,
345
and he thought, damn, their phone accessories kind of suck.
346
So for his people, he made something that didn't suck, and it stuck.
347
Magnetic, ultra -thin, offering a handle and a way for them to prop up their devices, the Osnap grip stand.
348
Suddenly, the homesteaders were able to work while watching YouTube, Doomscrolling, or playing
349
Cabbage Crush Saga.
350
The premium and minimal build had the workers impressed, free to fidget, and worked with all of their devices.
351
And now you too can have a piece of the Osnap legacy with you in your pocket.

It's way more exciting than it sounds.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
