Cool. It's not like I don't also have Backblaze, carbon copy cloner, and Time Machine so in case my laptop is stolen it's not a problem but having them full-sized allows for complete backups...
If you don't like the notch, you have two choices:
1. Don't buy a Mac laptop with a notch.
2. See a psychiatrist.
Grow up and stop feeling so entitled. The notch is a non-issue compared to what Ukrainians and other people are facing.

On the surface, Justine does not look like she has thick skin, but she must, because if she didn’t, she’d be in tears every day.
Yep. She's almost always positive. If you want a sour, cynical view of technology watch other videos.
Agree. Unfortunately she's more salesperson than reviewer/commentator.
I read that as NotchJustine. Maybe it’ll be a channel where I hate on everything that doesn’t have a notch on it.
No. That is most decidedly NOT how she gets pre-release Apple products
Don't support the fembot shill by clicking on anything.
Another useless YT channel.
Of course it is. Her 7M subscribers is absolutely why Apple sent her a review unit.
Yikes, I am three hours into
I lied, the moonlight color is a total finger prince magnet. Not a fan.
Justine Ezarik, also known as iJustine, joins us on The MacRumors Show podcast this week to discuss the all-new MacBook Air with the M2 chip.

Justine is one of the most influential tech YouTubers and has had a chance to test out the M2 MacBook Air for almost a week. In this episode, we talk through the M2 MacBook Air's most important features and upgrades, including its design, display, color options, webcam, four-speaker setup, and more.
We discuss how the new machine faces up to full-time use, compare it to the M1 MacBook Air, and consider who it is targeted toward. We also look at the SSD controversy associated with base model configurations of the M2 MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro, and consider where the MacBook Air could be headed next, with rumors of a larger model with a 15.2-inch display and M2 and M2 Pro chip options on the horizon for early 2023.

And her nauseating fanboyism & unwillingness/inability to criticize Apple over anything has nothing to do with it? Ok.
iJustine on the podcast = me not listening to the podcast
I find her vacuous and, frankly, annoying.
Will tune in next episode... unless it features Rene Ritchie; another galactically annoying sort where I also skipped listening to the podcast (my opinion).

Agreed. Apple have already proved they can do this with the iPad Pros.
That must be why Apple sends all those review units to people with 10 subscribers. /s
I don't know why people are focusing on Apple sending review units when most YouTubers just return the computers they bought for the express purpose of making that video review. If Apple didn't send her a review unit she'd just buy and return the computer which still makes it free to her.
Maybe I don’t grasp the point you’re making.
What is it that you respect about what she does?
To “me”. She comes across as someone you can’t look at with any credibility at all.
She isn’t remotely objective. Wouldn’t be surprised if Justine and Rene Ritchie are long lost siblings.
I would love for Justine or Rene or Gruber ... someone in that cadre... to ask Tim, on video we'd get to see, about the 84 scam apps still active and stealing $100MM a year on the App Store.
Granted -- it'd be the end of their Apple access -- but it would be simply wonderful to see his face

Do you realize that the iPad Pro is thicker than the lid of a MacBook Air? The thickness helps there
Besides the fact the bezels are also bigger.
Hardware Unboxed needs more publicity, some of the best tech reviewers on YouTube.
They'd just buy and return the computers, which make them free, after recording their videos, just like the other YouTubers.I would love for Justine or Rene or Gruber ... someone in that cadre... to ask Tim, on video we'd get to see, about the 84 scam apps still active and stealing $100MM a year on the App Store.

Whether or not she has "Apple access" is mostly irrelevant to her being profitable as a tech reviewer.
Perfect! -- then no risk or concern at all
I'd love for her to shock Tim in an interview with an actually pointed question about any of the myriad of issues surrounding Apple.
She reviews Apple products for YouTube, she isn't an investigative journalist for CNN.
Well maybe if you build an audience by creating content, instead of complaining about the content other people make, you can try embarrass a CEO. It sounds something you're very interested in.
Boy, that would sure show Mr. Cook.
But remember, to stay ethical you should plan on spending around 10k a year of technology that you purchase and keep.
