305412, The Youtube "reviewers" are RIDIC
Posted by handle, Mon Nov-30-20 12:43 AM
This is what they do:

Day 1: They show the box, can't talk about it.
Day 2: unboxing but don't turn it on.
Day 3: Turn it on.
Day 4: Benchmarks
Day 4: Review it - with an emphasis on whatever janky ass video workflow they use to make Youtube videos.
Day 5: Review it again while comparing it another model.
Day 6: More benchmarks
Day 7: The "updated" 1 week review
Day 8: Should you throw away your old Mac RIGHT NOW??

Some of these assholes are like "The base model $99 Macbook Air with 8GB ram struggled to export my Red 8K footage from DaVinci when I had 16 color grades applied while I also used photoshop and watched 8k Youtube videos." <-I'm not joking, one asshole did that that "review."

These new machines seem to be KICK ASS for everyone EXCEPT people doing professional audio and video with defined workflows. Most of those people have $3k MacBook's at least, and many have $15k Mac pro's and they're simply not capable of reviewing the product from a "human being" stand point.

I don't need a Mac right now, but these seem very sweet for the price.
