Yup. Some favorites:

  • Gamer's Nexus - recently called out LTT for consistent technical mistakes in reviews; very high quality testing on PC hardware
  • Optimum Tech - focuses largely on SFFPCs and gaming peripherals like mice and keyboards (GN has almost no coverage on any of them)
  • The Phawx - lately lots of handhelds like AYANEO and Steam Deck, but also does lots of game performance testing and some hardware testing
  • Louis Rossmann - Right to Repair fanatic, and discussion about some tech news, usually pointing out repair-related issues
  • SomeOrdinaryGamers - a weird hodge-podge of software config (e.g. went through installing Arch, setting up PCIe passthrough for Windows gaming VMs, emulation), tech news, old school mods, and lately aliens (from a skeptic perspective)

I've also liked Hardware Canucks, Hardware Unboxed, and JayzTwoCents (dropped this hard since it became ridiculous imo), but I haven't watched anything from them in a couple years so I can't really recommend them.

I watch LTT a handful of times per year, and usually it's not really my thing (more hype than content imo).

Optimum Tech

Thanks for this recommendation! I love SFF pcs.

His production value is fantastic as well. I hope you enjoy. :)

Can confirm that Gamer's Nexus and Optimum Tech are absolutely superb. You can tell those guys are doing it for the love of the game. LTT is vacuous in comparison.

Another I didn't mention is Level1Techs, though they tend to focus more on server hardware and less on weird gaming tech (though they do gaming reviews as well).
