My two absolute favourites right now

Bringus Studios - this is pretty close to classic LTT episodes (he did “I bought a SEGA PC?!?!?!!” before Linus did) and often involves trying to upgrade hardware that wasn’t designed to be upgraded or installing software on systems not meant for it (turning a PS4 into a steam deck for example) all with a delightful layer of jank to it So kinda like the videos with Jake

A little more different but equally brilliant channel is

MattKC - his most popular video is him trying to get a game to fit into a qr code (brilliant) but also extends to him buying and fixing a Wii he bought for 1$ in Japan or trying to build the fastest Windows 98 compatible PC and modding old consoles So kinda like the videos with Alex

RandomGamingInHD is pretty neat. Like seeing people push real budget stuff to its absolute limits. LowSpecGamer used to be my go to for that, but it seems he completely changed thr channels directions and purged the old videos.

LGR and 8-bit Guy both do a lot of cool stuff with old and obsolete hardware.

I can’t believe no one mentioned MrMobile. I really enjoy his format and editing style. He mostly does phone and watch reviews, but sometimes sprinkle in laptops, and his When Phones were Fun series were awesome.

LowSpecGamer originally does what the channel name suggests, low spec hardware reviews and game on them with jank methods. However, he has since privated his previous videos, and transitioned to history and stories behind tech products.

One other channel that is more to the side of tech “explanation” is Technology Connections. The subjects of his videos are not necessarily “tech” we see in tech channels, but more appliance tech and the history or how it works. His channel is caption friendly too!
