I came across this video moments ago on YouTube and the guy really made a fantastic effort to explain stuff (such as lower GPU benchmarks but higher performance due to better thermal management), synthetic benchmarks, video editing review and comparison to the previous year's model in both FCPX and PP.

Very happy to have a comprehensive video review like this. All credits to Max

 
Tne review is well done, but keep in mind that his main argument will always come down to : yes, buy them.

The best reviews are forum members. I stopped trusting big site reviews a long time ago , cause you will find all products are positive , as these sites depend on review units . Once you make it big in the review scene, I find people sell out.

I recommend anyone just to order one and try it out, you have an extra long return period. I think it's great product , though the battery life is my main concern cause it's the one area it has gone backwards by a fair margin with my testing , and reviewers of the 15" are not reporting this.....some independent reviewers on YouTube are
