Also, I suggest a cranial MRI to look for a scintilla of synapses. The entire concept to moronic and ludicrous!

I do know that iMac prices are now ludicrous. Would like to upgrade, but for an acceptable configuration for me, the cost would be close to 3K. Wrong!
Not yet...I've only had it for a few days. Some things get returned, some get donated, some continue to get used for longer-term testing, and some get passed around to other members of the team so multiple people can try them out.
Someone has posted a pretty funny “review” about this joke of a product:
So in other words, there’s no requirement to return it, and you tend to only return things that you don’t need, want or like?
That’s why the article seems like an ad. Getting supplied free product is a form of payment.

It looks “shopped”, but still!

Might get a couple of crackers if you’re lucky!

A “free” product with $100 MSRP value is certainly not valid compensation for writing a blog/article. It takes a lot more effort than that to write these things, not to mention the opportunity cost that MR could be writing another article on.
If you‘re reviewing or writing a blog about something worth several thousand dollars (anyone want to send me a Pro Display XDR for review/keeps??) and you’re not expected to return it, then it’s worth a discussion that the product is “payment”.
Most people don’t understand the concept behind this. - The product is supposed to make their other products appear more valuable/more high grade because their generel level of quality seems to rise with this. Of course this is objectively not the case but the impression is what counts these days.
Nah, event that douche bag knows that 1's and 0's can't tell the difference between gold and copper.
