Click bait-y crap.. like "I took my iMac Pro apart, broke something and Apple had the nerve to void my warranty". This guy is nothing but an idiotic troll looking for ad revenue. Not worth the bandwidth or time.
Sure. But I think unbox therapy is even worse. He has one video "You Should Buy the New iPhone SE" and another "DON'T Buy the New iPhone SE". I'm not clicking on any of those.
Yawn. It's a attention getter designed to make people talk about Apple. Most of the people doing mocking reviews of the wheels point out that you can get an iPad, iPhone, or Mac Mini for the same price. Apple isn't embarrassed by that thinking. It's what they want you to do. Only they don't have to tell you because your favorite entertainer is doing their marketing for them.
Right. That’s exactly how to get rich. All they do is make crappy, underpowered computers and charge exorbitant prices. That’s a sure-fire way to get rich, alright. No one wants to buy that terrible stuff because it’s so crappy, under powered, and expensive, yet miraculously they keep getting richer. You must be right!
It is clear that you registered on this forum 13 years ago just to troll /s
I had anxiety the whole time watching this, expecting him to start shouting at any given moment 😅
It may be easier than doing "real work" on an iPad Pro. Given thay your "real work" and his are comparable
Hah, I came here to post this. I think he did it on the wrong side though. Maybe it would have run into things on the edges but he could have brought them in a little and I think it would have been fine.
Almost anyone who says this is for enterprises doesn't work for enterprises

So normal use would not have bend iPhones and the same iPhones were more prone to bending?
Did Apple strengthen the chassis structure without the need for it?
Ok

HAH!!! You are so correct!!! I worked for a Big 10 (11) university and my boss, who could barely figure out how to turn on the computer, or put more paper in the printer, had the most expensive and fastest computer in the department. I suffered with a small hard drive POC, and he had a sleek speed demon, and used it for Solitaire and surfing political websites, testing the antivirus software. I was finally transferred to a different department. I heard he was finally fired for sexually harassing the women in the department. (And anyone that has worked in a university knows how hard it is to fire someone) Nice guy, huh... I did wonder who got his computer. Is that bad?

That would be a fitting use for them. The last thing you want in a skateboard is a brake. Right?
It started right away when they announced the $999 stand, you heard (lots of) people
laughing at the price in the audience.
As for the wheels, yeah, way overpriced but the design is well done.
$800 not $600. I still rock an iPhone; I’m not totally gone. I’m just done with overpriced computers.
unbox therapy is an awful channel. dont know why its so popular but fan boys for everything these days
Do you actually believe that corporations pay out saved expenses to their employees?
That’s pretty naive of you.
This guy has the same attitude as iJustine, Marques Brownlee etc
I usually don't waste my time watching his videos, and today is no exception.
Pass.
Pass.
Hate is probably from how you worded your original response 😉
Secondly, I used to watch Lew, liked his channel for a bit. Then he started spewing out false information for views.
Anybody tried how cosy it is to have feet on the front and wheels on the back?
You cold drag it, but it also stays still when needed?
Or do the wheels have brakes?
(Hmm, I’m sensing Apple Wheels 2, only $1200 per set, but ”they have the greatest brakes on any Apple Wheels on the planet”... until everything changed again, with Apple Wheels 3, only $1800, with Siri controlled brakes...)

I think my Cintiq Ergo 32 stand it way more complex, rock solid and have more maneuver movement rather than $1000 Apple own stand, which is just rotation/swivel/up down, like normal monitor stand, and only half of price from Apple asking for.
And he could run a shiny chrome rod through the holes in the wheels on each end to hold them straight. It would look awesome! Shiny chrome wheels, shiny stabilizing rod, a total awesome board...
You don't need more than that, Apple's Displays don't have Touch on them, so no need.
Nice stand, but not perfect, you can lock it only in two position.(Rotate).
Guys I really don't get this sentence.
When adding wheels to a MacPro during initial purchase Apple will remove the 300$ feet in factory and I end up paying only 400$ for the wheels. Ok.
If I order the wheels for a MacPro that I already have I pay 700$. How come this "includes" the price of removing the feet? I will have the feet taking dust somewhere after I install the 400$ worth wheels and I pay 300$ more for what exaclty?
Thanks
