Mac Studio and Studio Display Unboxing

Let's see content creation benchmarks, comparisons, advantages vs. disadvantages equaling a comprehensive review.

Packing materials are first class - but unboxing videos don't move me much. Box, strap, wrappings, pull tabs - meh.

Let's see a video where a computer's performance capabilities are NOT judged almost solely by its 'content creation' (shudder) abilities.

...and who decided to make the display so thin that it couldn't support standard connectors? Ans: someone in Apple's design team, the very thing that Linus is ranting about. It's a cut and dried case of form-over-function.

There are 101 other good looking (at least, from the front - who cares about the back?) displays where the designers have managed to contrive a way of including a standard mains cable.

I totally agree I never understood Apples obsession with products being thin, I'd rather have a bigger battery or in this case a more substation frame. Just couldn't watch LTT freaking out like a self entitled idiot about Apple when he clearly hadn't thought about why they would fix a cable. Not saying its great but his meltdown was obviously more about some kind of hatred for Apple than a sensible review.

Youtube reviews are, foremost, entertainment. Linus's rants - and his tendency to abuse/toss around/drop/mutilate review equipment - are part of the act, love it or loathe it. Hyperactivity seems to be a requirement for anything on YouTube that isn't an ASMR video.

The underlying points he makes are usually pretty reasonable once you get past the inevitable click-baity headlines - and he's a lot more thorough than most superficial YouTube influencers.

As for "self entitled" - sorry, but when you buy stuff at Apple's premium prices, a certain amount of entitlement should be included in the price. Attention to detail - not just cosmetics - should be part of good design.
