<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1232">20:32</a> That's me in the video!! Thank you so much for the PC, Mr. Linus. It's so nice to meet you on the street! Really made my day!

Thank you again! dude and i'll start to correct the mistake that i did from next PC😭 hope you have fun in Taiwan😂and come often LOVE YOU MY MAN!

From what I can see, the seller actually likes his work and cares about customers humble and genuine guy.

That boy in the end, his genuine happiness for simply meeting Linus was awesome. He'd probably treasure those 2 memory sticks that were removed as a gift, but instead got a one heck of a PC. Well deserved if you ask me!

Seller to his friends: "You won't believe this-Linus from LMG bought a computer from me. And guess what? He doesn't know a thing about computers."

I'm so glad it was that kid that "won" that computer. It was perfect 👍

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1135">18:55</a> legit Windows 11, but not only that. It's the Pro version instead of Home version. There really isn't a difference for most users, but it's definitely an extra plus. As a Taiwanese PC builder, I feel so proud.

I was glad for the boy who won the PC, hope he enjoys it. It was truly the definition of being in the right place at the right time

>shows up at a random crossing >gives you a $5000 computer >refuses to elaborate >leaves

The kid who won the computer goes "yes it's very lucky for me" for literally no reason other than he's excited to be meeting Linus. What a little sweetheart 💞

Taiwan is a very wholesome country and we pride ourselves on integrity, humble, genuine and kindness. I just can’t live in Taiwan because it’s so hot there. No country is perfect but I’m proud to be Taiwanese. What I love about Taiwan is the street food and I miss that the most! Linus, I hope you had a great time and enjoyed Taiwan. Guang Hua is the “go to” for all electronics and I too go there when I visit Taiwan. It was so kind of Linus to donate the new computer to that young man. He fully deserved it because he watched your videos and recognized you. It was meant to be for him.

Man I'm so happy for that kid in the end. For someone like him this can be a life changing event.

"It's your lucky day" "Yes, it's very lucky for me" That dude is a gem

This video made the Taiwanese news. On the news, the owner of the shop responded, that he "really didn't know this channel, and that he just found out" after people keep asking him about it.

That kid deserved it, not only he said hi, but he was able to reconize, at least he did mentioned "Linus tech".

I came to Taiwan last year as a student. It's a fucking awesome place. People are so nice and technology prices sometimes are unbelievable. So glad you came to visit :)

1. PC Shop guy being a real king to his customer. I suspect that he recognized Linus tho, but still the king. His work is clean af. 2. A young gentleman gets to meet one of his favorite KZfaqrs, plus, gets a sick PC. His reaction was priceless and relatable. 3. A young lady gets excited about her buddy/boyfriend/sibling having one of the best day his life and celebrates that. Her reaction was also adorable and again, relatable. One of the best videos I've seen on this platform for a long time. Awesome.

LOL, that's a middle school 8th grader. The news media in Taiwan just interviewed the kid and the PC vendor today. The vendor did not know Linus is a famous KZfaqr. What a great story!

It would have been great if you had shouted out that brother’s store. He deserves it. He’s clean with it

I’m am a legit Taiwanese, and I have to say that the shopping mall Linus went to was NOT a random tech mall. That area is considered to be the best place to search for tech treasure in Taiwan. I’m just disappointed that I didn’t get to show them around. BIG FAN!!!!!’

The builder went absolute full send for a random tourist. 11/10 give him all the jobs.

The PC builder was super genuine with choosing the parts, even though Linus said he didn't know anything about computers. Huge props to the guy, he did an amazing job!

Linus, that is the exact same shopping experience that you can find in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, right on the triple border between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. I think that even the shopping centers are exactly the same and the security is probably the same. In Ciudad del Este you can leave your purchases in a taxi driver's vehicle and he will take care of them for you all day only to then take you to the airport or the bus terminal. You should try to buy in Paraguay. You would be surprised. Greetings from Asuncion Paraguay

WOW. You could not have picked a better shop to build the PC, and a better person to give it away to. The shop owner was so sincere, such passion into his work. And the kid was absolutely stunned, he was truly lost for words and so grateful! I LOVED this video

LOL, he is my friend and former colleague, we're all doing watecooling and mooding stuff. I asked him and was shocked that he didn't know you! They are like Bykski distributors, which is why they have stock. Additionally, he has excellent skills specifically in water-cooling hard tube bending. He probably left the protective film on intentionally so that you could enjoy peeling it off yourself🤣 Edit: I'll make a video to interview him so that everyone can get to know him better! I also encouraged him to start a new channel and I'm very willing to assist him along the way🎉

Lots of computer accessories are made in Taiwan. We were born with it. In Taiwan constructing computer is never difficult. I DIYed more than 5 PC when I was in Uni. Of course now days gaming PC is more complicated. Linus visited the most famous Tech/Digital mall in Taiwan with long history. Seller there are full of experience and skilled. Honestly they don't have to watch Linus's channel to learn. The mall already has a strong ecosystem.

Linus, Actually Mr & Mrs Sebastian, thank you for making that kids year. Respect to you both.

Him not peeling the plastic off is not a flaw in Taiwan. They leave that stuff on EVERYTHING for years and years if they can help it. I’d drive my friends nuts in Taiwan when I’d take the protective plastic off things in front of them.

The fact that he messaged you at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="150">2:30</a> AM shows how much he cared about the satisfaction of his customer.

Dude who builds computers and speaks English probably watches Linus Tech tips LMAO

brings me back to a time when I used to work at a place like that part-time as a student to fuel my hobby of PC building & gaming with the best system, that was more than 15yrs ago now! thanks for this awesome vid!

Can't believe Linus is in Taipei. Around 10 years ago I started watching Linus and built my first PC using the parts I bought in that store. (Not the exact one) It's actually one of the locations for a chain of stores they have locations all around Guanghua and has the most competitive pricing for PC parts in Taiwan (At least to regular consumers). They have consultants that work with you to pick out parts based on your budget and if you don't wanna build it yourself they can do it for you as well.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1245">20:45</a> "Yes, it's very lucky for me." My favorite moment in the whole video. ❤️

found the perfect person to give it to. So stunned and happy to meet you, agreeing how lucky he is... BECAUSE HE GOT TO MEET YOU, not even knowing he was getting the PC.

I really liked this video - I don't want any of the staff at LTT to lose their jobs or anything - but I think I speak for a lot of longtime viewers when I say this is the type of content we really want. Not necessarily getting rid of comprehensive reviews etc., but I personally find the leaner less produced content and more candid real-world content much more comfortable and easy to watch as well as much more entertaining.

Taipei was so nice, really lovely place, dying to go back

That builder deserves more recognition. That PC was incredible. Also, that kid that won the PC had the perfect reaction. Good for him.

Yes, this is Taiwan. The PC builder did his job and the student expressed his pure excitement. Love the story and the video!!!!

best Part of the Video was "Vessi Shoes" .... Neah just Joking the part with the PC was Amazing as well, these kind of videos are amazing and i love to see more "Quite Expensive" but nice to watch

"Random Asian Tech Mall" lol ... that building is like peak computer center, mecca of computer tech. If he doesn't have a part in stock, he can find it next door. I got my best customized laptop in that building when I happened to be in Taiwan one year.

Can’t think of a better person winning that. Humble, polite and respectful, clearly loves computers and someone who will never forget that day. Very noble of Linus.

The old linus video Vibes

That computer was dope, and the shop owner kept it real. Hope he gets the business he deserves, I wish Linus would have given his shop a shout out!

That dude on the street was absolutely flabbergasted....... So genuinely in shock. You made his life Linus. GREAT JOB 👏👏 Take care, ~Jonny5🥁

The reaction of the guy getting the PC was awesome and so genuine. Poor guy absolutely froze from excitement. Wholesome AF

One thing no one seems to ever check is the spec sheet for the CPU itself.. for a 7950x3D, max memory speed is 3600 with four DIMMS.. (the seller probably already knew this) Trust me I learned this the hard way.. there is no stable AM5 system that is running over what the CPU is rated for. Max Memory Speed: 2x1R: DDR5-5200 2x2R: DDR5-5200 4x1R: DDR5-3600 4x2R: DDR5-3600 (from the AMD website)

the buying experience reminds me a lot of the tailor shops in hong kong where you can get amazing perfectly tailored suits for cheap and its a very casual yet somehow luxury and highly personalized interaction in the same way

Mad props to the dude that made that PC! What an upstanding and skilled craftsman.

Linus somehow found the perfect person to give that PC to. So happy for the kid!

to not only get a free PC from Linus but also witness a segue to his sponsor on the spot would be a dream come true

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="196">3:16</a> Linus: I don't know any of that tho... Shop Keeper: *awkward laugh* (Yeah right, I watch your videos, Linus)

This was such a good video. This was my favorite video from you

That awkward handshake 😂 That kid totally deserve the PC! The reaction (to “it’s your lucky day”) and his genuine enthusiasm is just incredible 🥺

This PC is absolutely nuts. $5k for these specs and looking this incredible is terrific. Big props to that builder. He offered fast, reliable service, to link back with him for years if need be, to a customer he (allegedly) believed to be ignorant. I bet this kid had his mind absolutely blown when he got home and turned on this PC 😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1259">20:59</a> Dude, I got goosebumps from this kid reaction. It's so genuine.

Great video! Loved the ending.

This is one of the best LTT videos I've watched in a while. Please do more of these, like going to a local shop somewhere, supporting a small business, and giving the finished product away to someone. The only thing I'd change would be to interview the person who builds the tech at the end of the video, and reveal everything them at the end. I think that would not only make them very happy, but it would also show us the passions of the people that run these shops. Very good video, thank you!

I remember seeing a post on reddit about this specific wild Linus sighting

great one! we need more of these

That pc couldn't have gone to a better person, seems genuinely happy and was very polite

I was born in Taiwan and have been to Guanghua Mall many times. Taiwan is a tech country, so lots of people, especially the younger generation, have pretty decent knowledge in computers. Besides, Guangha Mall is like one of the biggest tech mall in Taiwan, the competition there is crazy, people would literally argue with you and leave you bad feedback if the part is $100NTD ($3-4USD) more expensive than another shop. So you can hardly get ripped off there. And judging from the shop owner's reaction, it's very unlikely that he knows this channel. There are already tons of tech channels from Taiwan and China, and those are the channels the tech enthusiasts in Taiwan would usually go to first. About sending Line message at midnight - it's just how people are like in Taiwan. People in cities usually stay up pretty late because there are still lots of things you can do/place you can go in midnight. The shop owner might finished the work at 9pm, had a dinner with his gf at a restaurant, went to a night market, came back home and took a shower, then dropped you a message before go to sleep. If you want you can reply right away, or you can just leave the message unread and reply the next day. We wouldn't really consider dropping a Line message at 2am is rude, unless it's a phone call.

Honestly, no one was more deserving of that PC than that young man on the street corner. He was genuinely grateful just to MEET Linus, so the absolute shock and awe when he was told the PC was his…what a great man!

I love the last part. Surprisingly one of the most wholesome video I've watched this month.

*Always nice to see nice endings like this one* 🙂🙂

That builder is an artist when it comes to building custom PCs. You can clearly see that this passion has probably followed him since he was just a kid. I feel bad that he was blurred. He should have been seen and interviewed in the end. He really deserves business, unlike other stores that put some junk together just to rip people off.

Linus. The reason for the slow RAM is that 4 RAM sticks are not supported at high speeds. The 7950X3D is rated by AMD for 5200MT/s with 2 sticks and only 3600MT/s for 4 sticks of RAM. The memory controller of the CPU just can't handle that much.

Like always, very informative video and to top it off very wholesome at the end.

Always nice when you give something away to someone that is genuinely happy for it. Great video, Linus

I feel like Linus saw a respectable kid, and forced his way into getting him to start the convo so he could give him the pc. Super chill kid, and i bet he will never forget it.

Seeing you give away the PC to the dude at the end was probably the most wholesome thing I've witnessed in a long time. His jaw was to the floor and his girlfriend was ecstatic. You absolutely made that dudes frickin year.

This was downright heartwarming across the board. Good stuff here Linus.

I LOVE that kid at the end going full boot load screen trying to process what was happening. Small shops are awesome. I had the best PC repair guy in Houston (he was from Taiwan) and he loved that I would bring him parts ready to fix and charged me next to nothing because he knew I loved to repair things. Was very sad when he ended up moving back when his parents got older and needed help.

Fun thing about asian tech malls is that every shop is inventory, so theres no need to keep stock. just buy it from the shop next door etc or from the wholesaler

This new type and refreshed linus videos are a big win and they are great!

That was so nice how the give away worked out. That fan looked genuinely shocked and excited to see you! Really great stuff.

That was so cute. I loved that 1. The computer tech didn't take advantage of a random stranger walking in, I know the comments are like "HE MUST KNOW LINUS" but there are A LOT of people in the world that don't watch LTT. and 2. the young man who 'won' the computer just got completely broken.

There have been a lot of good LTT episodes recently and throughout the years… but this definitely tops the list for me in every way. Giving the computer away, especially to someone who obviously will really appreciate it, that took this to another level. Thank you for all the awesome work Linus and team. Amazing!

Wholsome video, respect to the store owner, what a guy. And the reaction from the fan was priceless.

Thank you Linus for this tip of the Ram issue, I had my pc running in low profile for 2 years, because I didn't find any info about it, and I didn't exactly know what it was happening with the xmp configuration, and after this video, I pull it out all my rams, and I notice I mix the serial number packs, and now I set it up correctly running at full speed, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

1. That random guy building PCs in a small corner, totally blew lead brand SI into oblivion = Absolute champion! 2. Random kid on the street completely lost the plot out of sheer joy and surprise = Epic!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1245">20:45</a> the most humble guy so glad he got the computer, the right person got it, awesome.

Thank you for giving away the computer to that guy!

I live in Taiwan and have bought a number of PCs at Guanhua. My service in general always been good too. He said it will come with a one year warranty, but the components will likely have longer warranties if that is what they came with. Even better, they often go beyond what they need to. I had an MB problem on my 3.5 year old computer, leaving the MB out of warranty. I brought it into the service center and they verified the MB was dead. They contacted MSI for me and I was quoted $1000nt (~$30usd) to service it. Included in the $1000 was shipping to MSI and back to Guanhua. Three days later, they called me and said my computer was back and ready for pick up. When I got there, they hooked up my computer and ran some diagnostics. I can't be sure, but it looked like the MB was brand new, though I can't be sure about that. After the diagnostics on the MB, the tech (perfect English, used to live in Hawaii) said he felt it was a little slow to boot up, so he ran diagnostics on the drives. My main m.2 drive wasn't performing as well as it should be, so he suggested getting a warranty replacement on that. I said I would clone the drive first and do that later. At that point, he said that MSI was going to wave the $1000 fee, the shop wasn't going to charge me, and sent me on my way home. A few days later, I brought the m.2 drive back, they tested it, sent it to Kingston, and a few days later, called me to come in and pick up the new drive. All of this on a 3.5 year old computer, part of which was out of warranty. I love the service here in Taiwan. BTW, the shop you bought from probably wasn't quite as independent as you might have though. There are a handful of main shops that have outlets like the one you were at, but they are all part of a big company. I don't know all the names, but I know mine was part of the CoolPC group, and there is also one called CarBuy. The builds are all done at their service centers on Bade Road, within a few hundred meters of Guanhua. I would be shocked if your seller was any different. Probably being a part of a big organization is why they can get even kind of rare parts as quickly as they do. You didn't mention it, but unlike what a lot of people might expect, there is almost no haggling/price negotiation here. You might get a relatively tiny discount, or a few freebies from manufacturers thrown in, but the price is more or less the price. I am surprised though that they didn't ask you to pay 5% more because you paid with a credit card; that is pretty normal here. That is probably why they were hesitant to give you a receipt. I always pay cash (real cash, not debit, not cheque) and have always been given receipts. Also, for warranty, they typically put a sticker on each component showing the date of purchase. I would be surprised if yours don't. Interesting to see another Canadian's reaction to the experience in Taiwan.

Can I just say how sweet it is, that Yvonne got mad at the price, but then was okay with it when it was being donated? Bless your heart :3

This was an awesome video. Loved evey sec of it. Great job guys and gals an Linus.

I don’t typically comment on videos, however, I am really glad I watched this. This was the most heartwarming thing I have seen in a very long time.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1268">21:08</a>! OMG! You made his day! His year! Man, the look on his face. This was an awesome build! You should promote that builder somehow!

That guys reaction genuinely melted my heart!

The end bit was the best. Well done!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1162">19:22</a> he's sending you texts to make sure it works fine~ this guy is literally the PC builder from the heavens!

That PC was sick you can tell the guy takes his job seriously and respects his customers. Also the guy that got the PC his reaction was so wholesome.

this video was so fun. i love watching your videos travelling in south east asia, and asia in general too

Hope you enjoyed your stay in Taipei! Super envious in not being to meet you though! Great video, thanks!

Awesome ! The video stacks up : - Taiwan - Amazing PC (the look is sick) - Genuine happy lucky guys Thanks !

The guy who received the PC was the proper one. His response makes it quite clear that he understood the value of the PC. He was also really respectful, so I'm glad he understood.

I'm pretty happy to see Linus still doing his thing and legitimately enjoying it along the way

linus you made that kids day thats amazing just the look on his face was priceless

Poor guy got a blue screen irl after Linus gave him the pc lol Hope he's happy with it!

Gotta love Taiwan. You can just travel there, drop 5K$ on a random shop, say "I want to play at 4K, make it awesome", pick up an amazing custom computer a few days later, carry it back easily by bus, and all of this without speaking the local language

I like the vlogier style of this video, not asking for a full vlog. but the half scripted really personal style is enjoyable
