What do you mean? I've found their testing graphs especially to be very clear.

Building on a budget? Blow the whole budget on a graphics card and upgrade the rest of it later so we can stay under budget. “We got this part for free so it doesn’t count against the budget”. “Let me stand on the computer case to get it to fit”

ROG Ally vs Steamdeck? Make sure you use a keyboard and mouse + always have it plugged in. Recommend the Ally over the Steamdeck because it’s better in the above setup

This video, why is he saying Snapdragon instead of ARM? It makes even less sense when he opens by saying he only said positive things before because of a sponsorship…then proceeds to have an ad

Also claims people think ARM systems fall behind until Apple fixed it which Apple ARM is irrelevant. The criticism of ARM is that it’s a different architecture. None of the graphics in the video matter because some things just won’t run

When he finally gets to the point that things just won’t run he says it’s fine because you would just use a dedicated gpu anyway and it only effects gaming…which is just a lie

We have had dedicated gpus on arm machines that doesn’t fix the “they are different architectures” issue that he is trying to mislead people away from

Here’s a video on it from a year ago https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=argfZlPZKdY

Though, he couldn’t get it working with Windows

And this pattern happens in all of his videos

Misleading graphs with no knowledge of the actual issue trying to be addressed
