0:00 Welcome to the Laptop Olympics opening ceremony! Prepare for high stakes. 0:28 Seeking sponsors who dislike association with me for peak marketing irony. 1:12 Production value alert! Two cameras! Now, time for my essential liquid intake. 2:05 Chugging a cold one, charging up. Shout out Somalia! 2:47 Double-fisting for endurance, let's prepare for the half-time show. 3:45 My old comma shirt is out. New merch, overpriced but good! 4:15 Let's meet our glorious contestants, featuring a wobbly camera perspective. 5:08 Our first champion, the dirty MacBook, still booting into macOS like a rebel. 5:26 Next, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, a pricey brick with a forgotten password. 6:47 ThinkPad password fail! Looks like it's getting a fresh Omarchy install. 7:38 The Framework 16, featuring a screen with serious backlight bleed issues. 9:30 Last, the HP ZBook, more names than a Mexican wrestling team. 10:05 MacBook screen wins the aesthetic battle against reflection and backlight. 11:10 Torque test begins! MacBook stands firm, solid 9 out of 10. 11:32 ThinkPad gets a respectable 7, showing some flex but holding its own. 11:50 Framework screen flexes like a noodle, scores a pathetic 2 out of 10. 12:08 HP ZBook matches the MacBook's rigidity, another strong 9 out of 10. 12:30 ThinkPad struggles to install Omarchy; seems it's having an identity crisis. 14:40 Framework's screen glare is truly unusable, like staring into the sun. 15:00 Time for the TinyGrad GPU burn test, showing off raw computational power. 15:30 HP ZBook surprisingly quiet, showcasing impressive thermals at 40 watts. 16:20 Framework chugs along at 3.8 TFLOPS, not quite setting the world on fire. 17:00 MacBook Pro joins the fray with a respectable 7.7 TFLOPS. 17:30 HP ZBook hits an astonishing 14 TFLOPS, securing a commanding lead. 17:45 Laptops get "beamed" all at once, chaos with errors and timeouts. 18:25 MacBook's beam fails due to a Python pickling error. Classic Mac. 18:50 ThinkPad finally gets OpenCL working, achieves a modest 143 GFLOPS. 19:30 HP ZBook 10 TFLOPS at 36 watts, still struggles with power. 20:00 HP ZBook needs its proprietary brick; universal charging is apparently a luxury. 20:50 HP ZBook blasts to 14 TFLOPS with its own charger, but the fan whines. 21:25 Framework eliminated for its dogshit screen and alarming amount of flex. 21:50 The MacBook Pro and HP ZBook remain, battling for supreme laptop glory. 22:20 HP ZBook screen is stunning in person, despite its verbose name. 23:00 The HP's excessive branding and poor battery life are its Achilles' heel. 23:45 The undisputed champion remains the trusty MacBook Pro, flawless performance. 24:20 M3 Max MacBook, the unseen hero of this stream, quietly dominates all. 25:00 Framework's screen deemed unusable due to backlight bleed, glare, and flex. 25:50 The MacBook's Mini LED display still reigns supreme in visual quality. 26:40 HP ZBook's amazing HDR display looks way better in person. 27:20 The final verdict: MacBook Pro takes the gold, beating out all competitors.
