MP 7,1 iJustine's unboxing of the Mac Pro and Pro Display XDR

[jpn]

iJustine outdoes herself.
she is simply the best reviewer out there.
mesmerizing.

to the haters:
iJustine's videos are just as valid as the dry, fact-filled, tech geek, boring videos many of you seem to prefer. if you want just specs and some geeky commentary that's great! there are a lot of them on YouTube.
that doesn't mean iJustine's videos are not just as valid.
her videos are about apple products she enjoys, and wants to let others share in her enthusiasm for.
they are about the experience of mac life.
and she conveys that better than anyone.

I’m a subscriber and definitely enjoy some of her content but she is nowhere near best reviewer on YouTube. Top 30, yes. Needs more tech talk and less ‘Ooh Wow!!!’

I've never been a huge fan of her, to me she feels more like a vlogger who's interested in tech. To each their own though, I'll give this video a watch.

Not a massive fan of any detail-lite youtube tech reviewers but I notice Justine seems to get x10 the hate from this forum any time she's mentioned in an article on the front page. It's a bit immature.

I'm waiting for Linus tech tips to review this as he's very critical on Apple(He did give mostly props to the 16" Macbook Pro").

He'll probably give this a pretty decent praise overall though issues on the base pricing with some specs.

I wonder if these folks had the machine for two weeks now - couldn't they get a real review ready in that time with some more in depth benchmarks or comparisons at least? How long will we have to wait for that?Like on Vega II vs 2 of them, or different tasks with and without afterburner for example.

You forgot the sarcasm tag?

Agreed. It's really strange that only a few YouTubers were given the MP, and that they've basically done nothing but a quick video each...

Also she is not anywhere close to the best reviewer for tech. It's actually hard for most of us to sit through her videos.

Anybody else kind of dislike the aesthetic direction of Apple packaging design? I personally miss the full box photography style of all other Macs/products. Obviously not something that REALLY matters, but these 'line art' style graphics just seem cheap and amateur.

Agree, the older ones had something really cool about them.

this forum needs a thumbs down button. ijustine is not my cup of tea.

Mesmerizing in a car crash kind of way. She's an enthusiast, and her enthusiasm can be a bit grating, but we did get to see an unboxing, so I'm good.

I also had a bit of a weird feeling when I was watching this. I usually like her videos, but with this machine it felt strange Like really, what does she need this monster for.. but ok maybe I‘m being unfair. Just wish there were a bit more techy details in any of these „reviews“.

I agree. The packaging design AND quality has dropped across the line. A lot of that probably has to do with green initiatives.

As for iJustine, i watched the video. Seemed fluffy and like an advertisement, I don't understand what we were supposed to get out of it.

"Ohhh, look at the texture of this box"

"Ihhh, it smells so good".

Yeah, I mean .... maybe some more interesting facts? Looks like they just bribed some "Influencers" to praise the machine instead giving them to more competent - and critical! - reviewers.

Hope there will be more "reviews" that are actually worth my viewing time ...

This is not her review video, it's just the unboxing and first impressions.

I get it but still I cannot take her seriously with that kind of presentation. She said "ohh this is beautiful" at least 20 times. WTF, who cares? I mean this is not a lifestyle product meant for rich suckers, right? But just presented as one, and as someone else said, feels just like advertisment. And the other "influencer" videos I saw aren't that much better, though Marques Brownlee at least gave something more than just fluff. Heck they all got the exact same config as it seems. Surely no coincidence! All that just leaves a sour taste in my mouth, and I am not buying this rather cheap marketing tricks. Holding out with my purchase for some real reviews.

 

[gugy]

Wow, iJustine is a pretty face in a nerd world. Yes, she's cute. Her videos are OK but she can be very annoying and barely offers a solid tech reviews. She is more a lifestyle YT than actually a tech reviewer.

 

[macguru9999]

I was worried the dog might get jealous of all the fuss she was making and pee on the mac pro tower ....

 

[MacWorld78]

She did a good job on her part certainly. Normally I don't follow what others have, all I need to do figure out what do I really need.

In my own opinion, it's a bit silly to have overpowered Mac Pro (max out specification) just for the YouTube Content?

 

[Coyote2006]

Did she finally fix the title? She was unboxing a 8K monitor first ... duh! ... all these unboxing videos are so damn nuts ... and can only be topped by her "behind the scenes of the unboxing video video" ... arghhhh

I take it you joined after they’d removed it so?

 

[Lucifer666]

Very fun video. Good job.

That dog watching the unboxing, must have been pissed about that mouse; no payoff. Looked yummy, smelled like crap. Second time around, you see its ass.
