For now I'm just planning a couple of videos this week for the main channel:

20th: MSI GP76 Review

21st: ASUS Scar 15 Review (2nd channel)

22nd: Ryzen 7 5800H vs Ryzen 9 5900HX

2nd channel will also have a video on the ASUS Scar 15, so technically still the usual 3! I'm back from my short holiday, so back to testing today with the HP Omen 15 (5800H/RTX 3070) which arrived last week.

Lots of stuff coming over the ...

16th: Lenovo L340 In 2021 - Time To Upgrade?

At the moment I'm taking a short break and just playing some games to relax a bit while I've got a short gap in laptops to review, as there are a LOT of things coming in the next few weeks so I figured this would be a good opportunity to recharge for that.

19th: ASUS X13 XG Mobile benchmarks 4K/1440p/1080p

I originally planned on posting the X13 benchmark video Monday, but I'm going to redo the whole thing... It's a pretty big waste of time that we have ASUS to thank for, the 2nd model came today and it's specced lower but performs better. It's not much o...

28th: 4800h vs 5800h CPU comparison

The MSI Stealth 15M is the older model, so before H35 was announced and has RTX 2060 Max-Q graphics, not RTX 30 series so that's why I'm posting it before the floor of new stu...

New AMD Ryzen mobile processors

New Nvidia mobile graphics

New Intel mobile processors

ASUS gaming laptops

MSI gaming laptops

Lenovo gaming laptops

Razer gaming laptops

I'm still waiting to hear back from Acer, HP and Dell. The ones listed above I have access to before the...

29th: MSI Prestige 14 11th gen review

30th:  Nvidia 1650 vs 1650 Ti laptop comparison

That should be it for the rest of the year! The 6900 XT recently arrived so I'll probably do something with that, maybe an eGPU comparison with the 3090 given I'm late to the party so something different :)

Unfortunately there weren't enough 6900 XT's to go around in Australia, so I don't have one for the 8th, but might get one later. Instead of posting a different video that will likely get overshadowed by that launch I've instead decided to not schedule a video yet.

24th: Best Ryzen Gaming Laptops For 2020

26th: 1440p Laptop Screens

27th: 5600x vs 3700x

Some unfortunate caveats to this plan. The first is that the 1440p laptop screen embargo may move forward as people have already released videos, so it could happen before the best Ryzen gaming laptop video.

30th: Acer Swift 3 Review (Ryzen 4700U)

No video currently made for the 2nd channel, I have one half filmed but don't think I will be able to get it edited in time as there are some time constraints on the CPU testing.
