 Hello friends and subscribers, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosehill. Actually, this is Daniel's AI clone that he generated earlier using a program called Heygen. If you missed out on all that weirdness, then check out the last video that I uploaded and you can learn how you too can create a digital avatar clone of yourself. In case you don't feel like watching that video, then let me give you the quick summary. This isn't actually Daniel. This is a computer-generated video using a digital clone of Daniel that was made with artificial intelligence. What a time to be alive. Well, today is actually an interesting day for non-AI Daniel because he's just picked up a brand new custom-built desktop computer from Ivory Computers, which is one of the main computer store chains here. So I thought that this would be a good excuse to do a quick video talking about that while simultaneously using up my Heygen credits. So firstly, I'm a big desktop fan and always have been. I put my computer through a lot of work editing video and audio, and when you want your computer to be an absolute workhorse, many including me would argue that desktops still have the definite edge over their more portable cousins, the laptops. You can simply build a more powerful machine for the dollar when building a desktop, and it's generally a lot easier to swap out and upgrade components. To the best of my knowledge, in most countries, if you want a desktop computer, you have one of two options. You either build one yourself, which requires a bit of wizardly and fidgeting around with tech spec sheets, or alternatively you buy a pre-made desktop off the shelf. The first is great in theory, but takes time and patience. The last means that you're usually stuck with a generic computer that isn't exactly what you need. Ivory and KSP computers offer a third option that I think is actually kind of an amazing middle ground. In my opinion, for your average customer, it actually makes more sense than either of the alternative approaches to desktop buying I mentioned above. Their default mechanism for building desktops is that you sit down with a computer geek, tell him or her what you need, and then he suggests the spec assembled from components that he's selected individually. You can then discuss alternative components per your requirements or upgrade or downgrade components to fit your budget. The only limitation is that you do need to choose components from the company's parts inventory, but you're still left with a pretty wide choice. Once you've agreed on the spec and paid for the build, the company goes ahead and assembles your computer in their national laboratory. Mine was ready for collection in just five days. This means that you get a completely customized computer without having to actually build the thing yourself. Someone who actually knows what they're doing takes care of all that stuff. My computer geek was Leor. Here's some footage of him typing on a keyboard and helping select the components for my new computer. And here's the pretty large box that I picked up from the store just now. The first desktop that I built this way is still going strong after almost a decade of intensive daily use. I'm upgrading because this computer was never built for video editing, and I want something more powerful to support my content creation and my business. My wife is going to inherit my old desktop for her architecture business, and I might also use it as a dedicated machine for video rendering. So yay to us, more computers in our lives. It's true that buying computers where I live is generally more expensive than buying them abroad. However, I think that Ivory and KSP offer a major value add through this service. You don't have to pay extra for the assembly, and your custom built computer is covered under a warranty, which wouldn't be the case if you built it yourself. In my opinion, this customized buying experience and the warranty backing the build makes the added cost totally worth it, especially if your desktop computer is a core part of your business. In my opinion, custom building a desktop through Ivory or KSP gives you the best of both worlds. You get the flexibility of full customization without having to actually build the thing yourself. And you're still of course free to make as many upgrades as you want to keep the computer running the latest software. Thanks for watching. This was my first ever AI generated video using my clone slash avatar. Hey guys, this is Real Daniel again. That was up to now my digital AI clone, narrating this video. I discovered this cloning technology from Heijen a few days ago, and I've just been absolutely fascinated by it. And I thought as a one time experiment, I had to do one video that was presented with my AI clone. So although that was presented by a digital avatar attempting to copy me, I did write the script, and I have to say that I stand by what I said. I love desktop computers. And although it's generally more expensive to buy hardware not in Israel than not in Israel, that's kind of a little bit tricky to do when it comes to building desktops like you could buy or ship in all your components, but then putting them together is going to be kind of a hassle. So I actually am really a big fan as I mentioned of this service the KSP and Ivory do. These are like the two biggest computer chains in the country. They have branches in most major cities and you just walk in, tell the guy what you want from your computer. They build it and the computer that I'm recording this video on right now, my soon going to be old computer, has been in use like a lot over the past decade. And I've upgraded the RAM, but basically nothing else. And it's been amazing computer, but I thought it was time to future proof a little and get something that's going to hopefully support future years of video editing in 4k resolutions and beyond. Thanks for watching this video. I'd be very curious to hear what people thought of this whole wacky hey gen experiment, my digital avatar. The accent was off. It was a little bit lifeless, but I still think that it's amazing tech. And I'm very interested to see where this tech is going to be in three years time when it's had a chance to mature a little bit. Thanks for watching today's video. Hope this was helpful. If you're in the market for a desktop computer, I do really recommend this approach. Go into your nearest branch of KSP and Ivory. Tell them what you need. Get us back. Negotiate over it. And hopefully you'll end up with a computer that's really, really purpose built for what you need to get out of it. Subscribe for more videos and more are on the way.
