Same here, i just keep them in a different room. I just revived my old sempron 3300+ system last week to see if it still lived after having it for over 20 years. Its honestly impressive how long can pc hardware last, even if it sat for majority of its life.

3 years old gaming laptop, still cost me a fortune

My computer is 15 years old... My laptop is 10 years old...

I still have my first PC, a Compuadd 286/16, and like others that have responded, I give them away once refurbished.

I have a 2010 Mac Pro 5.1

Ikr lol Haven't checked but pretty sure my old MacBook Pro will be way too old for this, and it was the highest speced model back in the day and still works fine. I even turn it on on occasion when I need to get an old file off of Logic Pro X or Final Cut. (Switched the the Windows Adobe suite since then)

to be fair, the title I think is more about the windows version when it is released. till then, you're right lol

@@datachu to be fair my old razer blade was similar pricing to the MacBooks from 4 years ago and it’s actually still chugging along. I think once you buy a laptop over a thousand dollars the stereotype of cheap windows laptops drops off a cliff. Even less nowadays with the ryzen laptops at 600-700.

@@smugler1 true, I have it running on a 10 year old Sony vaio, although the 1366x768 resolution isn’t that good with my 2 4K monitors, latency is nice.

@@smugler1 Why is the separate hardware dongle needed for the Windows version anyway tho? Like, what does it do? And why can't they just update the firmware of whatever the fuck you just paid $100+ for? No seriously, what snake oil is ACTUALLY INSIDE THE DONGLE? I can't find a single photo or video of the inside, no one has asked this question and there's no FAQ question on their site about it whatsoever. I mean look at this video closer. In wired mode the cable goes directly between the two PCs, not through some port on the dongle? And how come Apple can achieve half the latency without any dongles? Why is the claimed latency on their website not even remotely accurate and the actual latency LTT measured around the same as Miracast (which also supports touch)? Does this not all smell a little fishy in the air? Cause I'm smelling a scam right now... And it's a real strong stench too

@@richarddcrossley I wished that this would work with my old imac, which still has snow leopard on it. My Biggest problem is that the onboard graphic chip got burned, while being in sleeping mode. The official repair would have costed around 600€+. As a result i can't really boot into the OS and display anything. The only solution i can think of is to take it apart and connect a display control unit to it.

Well it is kinda shit compared to what it cost when it came out (as per usual with all Apple products).

linus changes his title at least 5 times a day ive seen his recent vids change title so often

@@alexrevna7959 called a youtube channel not a company

@@alexrevna7959 LTT is just one channel of their company and they can decide video titles. They just use those clickbait titles in the beginning so it shows up that way in the notifications of subscribed people, then, after some time, they change back to the "real" title.

@@Felixprogram Its actually to stay afloat on the algorithm

Yeah I just commented, what about duet display lol.

I used Duet Display back in the day myself, it was pretty good for the time but these days I use SpaceDesk and Parsec. Both have great performance and consistency, and pretty low latency. LTT themselves did a video on using Parsec for video editing! I feel sorry for anyone who actually bought into this *obvious* Luna display scam.

For arting though, duet display is pain The lag is almost unbearable....

For Android Superdisplay is awesome app for anyone who want to use their stylus as almost native pen input in windows. It literally tricks the windows into thinking into having pen input inbuilt to the display itself. Which makes pen input and gestures in windows almost native experience

10 years old pc which was outdated when built.

@@windowsxpprofessional jeez that branded new compared to mine ive had it since 2002

This was literally all I was thinking about this whole video

Yup. My only complaint with spacedesk is that it doesn't support gpu acceleration so you'll need a beefy CPU if you want to do more than browse the web while using it.

Neat Never heard of it before but I could have some uses for it. How is the lag? Like could you watch a movie or play a game from the secondary device?

@@Catsrules1 For me its pretty much perfect! I used to run it on a Tab S6 on wifi and it really felt smooth without any drops (my wifi is real stable), you can adjust the framerate from 30 to 60fps, or wired to wireless, colour depth, image quality over performance and much more. It's the easier alternative that supports touch as well! Videos played on the tablet even synced with the audio just fine. If you're going that way wired is recommended but wifi is also usable! Spacedesk is lit

@@ngwoo i use the spacedesk monitor (my old laptopl to watch videos from KZfaq and Plex while browsing on the main monitor, works great

@AR Ram same

It's for Apple so it's obligated to be expensive.

No, as far as I know you're not missing anything. You can download the app for free from astropad's website and use an ipad as a secondary display with no dongle. It supports both mac and pc, and works like a graphics tablet with an apple pencil. I've been using it for a while. I don't really know what the dongle is for, since apparently there is still a lot of latency as Linus shows.

To be fair, x11 over the network is really slow and not designed for modern GTK/Qt apps (and fundementally works a lot differently than this, since its rendering using the remote GPU and just streaming video). Wayland doesnt support it at all, but you can probably achieve something similar using PipeWire

@@Virginiafox21 The dedicated dongle makes sense if you want to take the laptop/tablet combo and use it elsewhere. Its the sort of niche product that makes sense in its niche, but then the marketers try and sell it as a solution to all problems.

Kyle K yeah, I guess if you really want to be wireless. But the app works plugged in too. The only one I saw was having an iPad as the only display for a Mac mini, which seems like it could be cool.

He did that already.

Apple is typically pita on Mac

@@shapshooter7769 McWrap, BigBurrito or Fillet-O-Taco?

Exactly what I said

Except glossy display monitors are hard to find. iMacs are one of the few that still make quality, glossy monitors in a number of sizes.

@@roguenify I don’t think there’s much of a point having glossy displays, they just reflect sunlight and show how dirty they are much better. If a new mac came out, and had matte or glossy displays as an option, 9/10 would choose the matte display because it’s just better.

@@milkyy4168 Glossy displays offer more vibrant colors and picture quality, hence why TVs, tablets, and smartphones are glossy, not matte. In terms of picture/video quality, glossy wins. Sunlight reflection isn't a problem for me based on the lighting in my home, so I don't benefit from a matte display. Matte displays are beneficial for office workers, but less-so for at-home workers.

@@Pedroebut But still requires an iPad and not an Android device.

didn't watch it further and put a thumb down when that became apparent though, also computers in my opinion don't have a screen at all, computers use external monitors. using word 'computers' for laptops is a #lienus tactics. can't care less about apple's walled garden crap, the only thing its actually good for if you aren't a half-brain-dead hipster - Louis Rossmann to repair it or rant about it.

@@jstan5802 I'll do you one better... Why is a computer?

I am not even sure why the dongle is needed, everything it done by software? And someone mentioned there is software called Space desk that basically does this already for free.

better yet that should be on a mac address crap channel

@@rawdez_ This!

There is a windows version of Luna Display coming soon, and I think the main point was to hopefully convince people to stop throwing away perfectly useable hardware for shiny new hardware that creates more unnecessary E-waste. EDIT: Since some people still don't get why Linus hosted this. Because there exists a windows version of Luna display Linus was interested enough to host this product. It's as simple as that. Now the macadress guy previously did a video on a jerry rigged together touch screen macbook, the product can be used for both windows and Mac OS laptops but windows laptop already come with touch screens pre-installed so Linus would just end up roasting apple over that, and the idea isn't all that interesting. Instead he wanted an Apple users perspective on why they don't want a touch screen macbook. Due to changing their productivity flow or other reasons as to why they don't like 2 in 1 laptops. And why they'd rather have a Mac and an iPad separately.

@@rehmanarshad1848 100% agree. The product was the connector, not the macs. But since the Mac was a good example, the mac guy was a good fit

@@rehmanarshad1848 >a windows version of Luna Display AFAIK still requires iPad, so still is a crap. though Idc enough about Apple-oriented crap to check. if any company's main focus is to make stuff for isheep its basically means that stuff is automatically overpriced and stupid in a way

Upgrade to a core 2 quad, and a gt 220.

@@theigpugamer Some distros are quite close to Windows in the general feel, going so far to even imitate how parts of the UI are organized. But for an old computer something light is never wrong. And yes, grab a quad core xeon from ebay, throw in a decent gpu and ssd and more ram, and you got something that is still usable today. But might not be worth it, all depends on how much you want to invest.

@@HappyBeezerStudios yeah that's the point At that price I can easily get a used optiplex level pc with a 4th Gen i5 The only reason I still left it instead of selling it or recycling was that it has a motherboard made by intel and it's super reliable and great so I will need to see out for deals on xeons Put in a new ssd for the os and put another stick of DDR3 and with some Linux magic it should be usable for daily office work and general use

@@Enstrayed thats right. any Mac from about 2016 onwards could be a pain to install with Linux. not sure if it has been done though

Last time I checked, you could only use parsec _from_ Windows. Can you use if for a secondary display? I thought it was just for sharing the current display (at current resolution).

I use parsec all the time

Spacedesk also works

Meanwhile I uses Steam Link

That is for mirroring single display that already exists. For example my PC monitor is showing the samething that is being streamed via parsec to my TV. This is for streaming an secondary monitor so my PC monitor will be showing monitor 1 and tv will be showing monitor 2. Monitor 2 doesn't physically exist on the PC it is connected virtually and streamed over to the TV.
