  • - Hello, and welcome to Broke vs Pro,

  • where today we're building

  • the ultimate laptop gaming setups.

  • - Oh yeah, we are, 'cause I have a present

  • from the sponsor of today's video,

  • LG, with their new 17-inch LG gram.

  • - Did you, just, wait, wait, wait, wait.

  • When you say gaming laptops,

  • the first thing that comes to your mind is the LG gram?

  • - Well, it wasn't the first thing that came to mind,

  • but they were certainly the first message in my inbox

  • that offered money for this setup.

  • Let me just say that the 17 inch LG gram is wonderful,

  • not only because it's super light and very thin,

  • but also this is the 2020, 17-inch gram,

  • so it has the 10th Gen Core i7,

  • which most importantly, has a Thunderbolt port,

  • Thunderbolt 3 port, which will come in handy

  • for this thing.

  • - Oh, but wait, we already did a video on that.

  • - Yes, yes we did.

  • - That's the RTX 2080Ti gaming box.

  • - Yes, it is.

  • But, of course, I don't have to rely

  • on the 2080Ti gaming box to use the gram on a daily basis.

  • This thing again is super light and portable,

  • and the battery lasts forever for most tasks.

  • - [Austin] Actually, the battery life is really good.

  • - [Ken] It's great, it's an 80 watt hour battery

  • that lasts up to 17 hours.

  • It's legitimately a really,

  • really cool laptop to take on the go.

  • - When you're spending all this money on your laptop

  • and your accessories and all the other stuff

  • which I'm sure you have around the corner here,

  • I, as the broke gamer,

  • have something much more reasonable in mind.

  • This is my (horn sound)

  • And at only $330, this is all I need.

  • - [Ken] Wait, wait, wait.

  • - What?

  • What's wrong?

  • Look, this is all I need.

  • I literally don't need any of the stuff that you--

  • - [Ken] We, LG, the sponsor of this video

  • said we can't show any other brands.

  • - [Austin] But that's my laptop.

  • What else am I gonna use?

  • I mean, I need a laptop.

  • Are you serious right now? (laughs)

  • I think you're taking this a little too far, aren't you?

  • - No, no, we're not-- - [Austin] What?

  • - [Ken] Don't worry about that.

  • Don't worry about that.

  • - [Austin] That's just, do what, the processor!

  • I can't talk about my (beep) processor?

  • - Don't ruin,

  • I didn't sabotage you!

  • - [Austin] Wait, I can't even say the word (oof)?

  • - No, you can't.

  • - [Austin] Team Red, Team Red, can I say that?

  • - Yeah,

  • yeah, yeah, sure.

  • - [Austin] What kind of (beep) up challenge is this?

  • - Look, I don't write the checks, I'm just saying.

  • - [Austin] You just cash them.

  • - I mean, yeah.

  • Let's be real.

  • - So, I do have one additional thing.

  • So while my budget was broke,

  • I did get a knockoff third party PowerA controller.

  • It's not knockoff, I guess,

  • but it's a tiny third party Xbox controller.

  • I only had $15 left in my budget, but it's fine.

  • - [Ken] It is very green.

  • - Is this...?

  • Where's the rest of your stuff?

  • I know you have like,

  • you had like boxes of stuff you bringing in earlier.

  • - Yeah, so what pro setup would it be

  • without some Razer products?

  • (Austin laughs)

  • Specifically, I saw this on Twitter the other day,

  • so I put in an order for it.

  • It is the Kraken Kitty Edition

  • Razer headset. - [Austin] Ken.

  • - Yeah! - [Austin] Ken.

  • I just started playing Final Fantasy 14,

  • so I got myself an MMO mouse.

  • - [Austin] How much money did,

  • well, actually no, I can't be mad at you

  • 'cause you're spending LG's money, not mine.

  • - Wait, wait, it's okay.

  • - [Austin] How much more stuff do you have?

  • - I also got a Razer speaker.

  • The monitor was a bit of an oversight, but--

  • - [Austin] (laughs) You forgot to get a monitor?

  • - Um, we just so happen to have

  • a former sponsor of the channel,

  • another LG-branded product

  • called the LG Ultra...

  • What is this? - [Austin] UltraGear.

  • - You are right!

  • Yeah, it is the UltraGear, huh?

  • - [Austin] Ken, where are your, where's your integrity?

  • Where are your journalistic ethics?

  • - I'm not a journalist.

  • - [Austin] You're just a pro gamer?

  • - I'm a pro spender.

  • - [Austin] (laughs) That was pretty good, actually.

  • - [Ken] All right, all right.

  • So, what do you got?

  • - So, with my...

  • can I come up with a code name for it?

  • My, uh, my stealth book!

  • Okay, look, it's not great,

  • but for $300, I've got eight gigs of RAM and on top of that,

  • I'm happy to tell you that this wonderful laptop

  • from the stealth book company

  • which is also known as (robot sound)

  • has a, has, it has-- - [Ken] No!

  • - I'm gonna keep talking 'cause you can't cut me out.

  • It also has a spill-proof keyboard

  • if you're hardcore gaming.

  • - [Ken] Wait, it has a spill-proof keyboard?

  • - Yes, I will say that there was a slight oversight

  • when I was "building" my setup,

  • and then I spent the last of my money on this controller

  • and then we decided that we're playing CS:GO,

  • so, uh-- - [Ken] Yeah.

  • - Look, I'll be fine. - [Ken] Very pro.

  • - It'll be fine.

  • - This is really awesome.

  • - [Austin] Are you, like--

  • - I love that a lot.

  • - [Austin] Are you about to sell me

  • some bathwater or something?

  • - Maybe I am.

  • That side hustle, though.

  • Gamer-boy bathwater.

  • (Austin laughs)

  • Oh hell yeah, I love that!

  • That's fantastic! (both laugh)

  • Oh, the porting lights up too, hold up, wait, wait,

  • hold on, wait, wait.

  • I can see myself in the reflection.

  • Yes!

  • Oh, I love this so much! (Austin laughs)

  • So, I also got the companion stand as well.

  • - [Austin] Of course you did.

  • - Of course!

  • I've gotta color match, right?

  • Oh look at that, it has all of the buttons I need.

  • - [Austin] You need that many buttons?

  • What kind of games do you play that need that many buttons?

  • - So, I remember you saying something earlier

  • about your keyboard being,

  • like, waterproof?

  • - [Austin] Uh, I think the phrase they used was spill-proof.

  • - So, I can spill anything on--

  • - [Austin] No, you can't, you can't touch my setup.

  • What happens if it dies?

  • - That's not my problem. - [Austin] No, no, no!

  • - So you might have noticed that I have, uh--

  • - [Austin] You are not gonna do this to me right now.

  • You are not, look, look, you can't just do it.

  • You gotta surprise me with it.

  • You can't just, like, look,

  • where are the narrative stakes, Ken?

  • We all know you lack narrative stakes.

  • You can't just pour coke on my laptop.

  • You gotta, like, while I'm working on your setup,

  • you gotta sneakily do it or something.

  • This is not entertaining.

  • Look, think about what would make a good video.
