@iarpak3 years ago I love this set up: camera angle, table and placement of chair. It makes it feel like were visiting dave and discussing these devices. Love it. 82

@LiyoKikon3 years ago Hey. Table' s back and the teal is creeping in too. 313

@jfncho3 years ago What if it isnt a table but rather a piece of tech that he' s teasing, like the xbox fridge? 751

@GareebScientist3 years ago This camera angle has a very cool sci fi look.

@young53953 years ago Dude i love the set up it' s so clean. Been watching for about 5 years and this is by far one of the cleanest channels on youtube. 129

@nathanguyen3 years ago I love how recently none of the comments are about his actual review, just the setup. 223
@

@syedmohammadabis54663 years ago Is it me, or dave has just started putting videos more frequently since he shifted to his new studio! 151

@waverleyjournalise57573 years ago " they don' t offer the 3080 with ryzen" ah, looks like intel' s budget doing some work there. 274

@Tdevelops3 years ago Loving this new angle incorporating the table. 127

@yashwaghulde51653 years ago It' s so fun to watch dave change his setup almost every new video. 4

@CaptSoban3 years ago " i won' t be using a table" 208
@

@_Makanko_3 years ago Yeh gimping this to upsell theirversion.
seems very likely there would be a kind of brand loyalty/deal between them and intel for the high-end gpu/cpu configuration considering how long it has been intel only i think brand can' t just slap an amd in it' s place because they want to.
interested to see how the x turns out. Cheers. ...Expand 75

great review. 3

@keyboard_g3 years ago Dell has been in bed with intel for decades. Of course they keep the 3080 for that sku. 43

on a serious note, i think the table is not the problem. If you' re aiming for minimalist, the whole setup does not scream minimalist. It looks like a storagr room. 122

@saph_fire3 years ago Dave, thank you for the great review as always! There' s a small typo in the description btw. 1
@

@bradbeyers90283 years ago Nice review, i like that you point out differences. Someone that really wants those front firing speakers and a nice trackpad can just opt for last years model and probably save money and get better fps too. 3
@

@JoseBYOB3 years ago Want to see a little more spec consistency in these videos dave. You should include a screen specs (screen brightness, refresh rate, and color reproduction) in all your laptop reviews. 21

@madds77193 years ago Thank you for being honest and criticising alienware for this years r5 and r6. Both are not my cup of tea. Frankly, the m-series seems more attractive. 114

@lurgy51773 years ago Daves setup looks like something out of the sims. 9

@Tshepo4073 years ago I like the new setup with the sideways table. 2

@flywithjoshu2923 years ago Wow your new camera angle is just on point. It' s looking so satisfiying. Also those colours in the background. It' s just a perfect combination. Also great content as always.

@ramrstf43 years ago Dave finally realized that his red komodo has an iso setting. 17

@J2digital3 years ago I like the camera angle this time around! The tank directly behind you was a little distracting though. Idk how you can work in the rule of thirds and it being a nice set piece in the back. Thanks for the review as well!

@saaimkhattak78663 years ago Loved the 5 hours visual! Really smooth and cool.

@davethepak3 years ago Thanks for the video.
some interesting things on the machine.
i do like the fact that they have both intel and amd options.
i also (a lot of business guys are now grown up gamers from yesteryears)
one thing i did notice - the mute microphone key in the upper right - that is pretty cool - especially in the new world of remote
thanks again for the video. ...Expand

@dongumayagay48953 years ago Hey dave, i recently rewatch your " my personal setup from 2018" video. I think video like that would be amazing in this new studio.
@

@firstnamelastname-ol7sf3 years ago Thanks for the vid, my m5 just arrived today and i decided to return it. As you said, it is not a bad laptop, but i get fewer and downgraded features by paying the same price as r4. 2

@dandossantos37253 years ago I think getting rid of the table has added so much to your vids keep on keeping on.

@SleepingWorldChamp3 years ago Love the colour of the sweater and the shirt. Making the point they ignored everyones favourite colour options!
