Other than a full-height function row, how is the keyboard different/better?
I don't know how "obviously wrong" the question is. It struck me the same way. Because you weren't simply asking a question. You asked a specific question related to how much her success is related to her appearance, which clearly sounds sexist.
You may not be a sexist person, and I'm not saying you are. But that question is pretty problematic.
I don‘t agree, apparently.
What I did was merely calling out the elephant in the room. I‘d find it problematic, though, if it were not allowed to discuss the matter
Very nice! I thought about getting one of those stands. Do they ever put scratches or marks on the outside?
Well just for all those people I'll be enjoying my new Air and all of it's notchyness when it comes in 😂
Of course, under similar circumstances
How dare you!
To interview those people there are per-screened questions. You don't get to do the interview unless you agree to it. He's not being subpoenaed in front of a court to be questioned.
Yeah it's not a channel for "reviews" per say, it's more of a lifestyle channel that looks at new apple gear. I don't think she presents herself as a serious or critical reviewer anyway. Hell I don't ever recall a video where she gives advice like "you should buy this" or "you should skip this."
Seems like there's hate towards her style of video, but a lot of it is trying to shoehorn her into something she doesn't seem to try to be.
Just enjoy it for what it is. Or not.
Why is the question "problematic"?
Physical appearance is absolutely a part of success in visual fields, for both men and women.
If you're on video/film, your appearance is a component in your appeal.
It's not the only component, but it's a factor and acknowledging that or asking about it doesn't make anyone sexist, nor is it problematic to do so.
Society has got to relax on some of this.
If you can't even talk about things, we literally are permanently stuck on so many issues.

I like her reviews because she actually performs a complex task and shares the results. I can then have my own take aways. Her ability to do video editing on the M2 Air that she was not able to do on previous versions is quite revealing. There is no doubt this is a nice machine. Even though I am a basic user, I purchased the 14 inch MacBook Pro some months ago. I may have gotten one of these if it were available at that time given her demonstration.
Not in my experience. I use the Rain stand. It has padding to protect your Mac.
It's just my opinion, I don't hate her or anything. I just find other youtubers that cover Mac topics cover the issues better than she does.
I could be wrong here but, the travel on the new keyboard definitely feel different to me versus the M1 MBA. The M2 travel doesn't feel as spongy using the keys as the M1, if that makes sense to you. Hopefully, others will chime in as well about the M2 keyboard.
Would you mind doing some screen comparisons with the same image up, and off axis?
When you get all settled.
I think this is the key here. No one would say people are watching LTT because of his looks. I don't like it when people immediately say something is sexist or racist but some of the comments here really push the envelope.
That’s fine.
How does she lack integrity?
Based on the showcased video, as I have not seen/known of iJustine until now, she describes what she does, what she likes, and why. Are her conclusions entirely objective? Probably not. Nonetheless, it’s opinion (i.e. subjective). I didn’t hear/see her cluelessly spewing tech data, benchmarks, etc. In fact, she seemed to only address a few specs simply because she was asked. I also did not get any indication she was trying to compare/compete with the likes of GN, for example. In other words, I didn’t hear any outright lies.
I think white background google.com
And maybe one with some blacks like a paused dark frame of a trailer
"It’s better than the M1" - the M2 CPU itelf may be, but the baseline config - well, not always :/
Why would a 99% male (tech) audience look for something, say, a Schwarzenegger-like sixpack to watch? We males don't work that way... and as the tech audience is still predominantly male, sure they like watching/seeing pretty(ish) women/girls. That's pure biology. With the opposite case (tech audience would be predominantly female) sixpack Schwarzenegger-alikes would have a LOT more success than "ordinary" Average Joes. That's also pure biology. Both males and females are attracted by pretty females and strong, "sixpack" males.
