Apple decided to be eco unfriendly by including a power brick. Why can't they be consistent with their views?

Why is it called "edge to edge" when the screen does not actually go all the way to the edge?
By screen I mean colorful pixels. Not the glass with a 1cm black border

For artist alike, bezel provide additional palm rest when drawing, even 1 cm is too small, but it helps and still retain nice looking tablet.

1 cm black border aesthetically is quite okay-ish for 'generic customer' who just consume content only, without being too bulky.
 
You can make that claim about any top youtuber and it would still be false. She knows her stuff and how she makes her videos are the very best in the business when it comes to production.
She’s popular in America i suppose.
 
Reading this thread in my fantastic 12.4 inches 2800 X 1752 SUPER AMOLED 120 Hz screen Samsung S7+.......nice to see iPad Air promotional reviews above
 
Because they are fake. I can't stand watching most YouTube reviews because it's all a contrived show. I miss Detroitborg's videos.
I don't like fake reviews too. I even wouldn't call them reviews because they are nothing but sales pitches sponsored by Apple. The real reviews will be only after the release.

This post has more video reviews than YouTube

I wonder why every YouTube video key frame has to have a person with a fake surprised expression on their face?

probably algorithms suggest that you are 37% more likely to have a click if your thumbnail has a a surprised look and a controversial title.

I hate marketing based on science.
 
MKBHD is always worth watching. Easily my favorite tech video blogger.
Nah he is too big to be unbiased

let’s b real Apple would never have exec interview with him or give out early unit if they know he won’t say good things about them.
All these big youtuber even when they are “criticizing” u can tell they really aren’t criticizing but more to seem not totally unbiased

Even after the release most of them are still not totally honest. But can u blame them they need Apple to survive and Apple isn’t someone who likes criticism.

It’s more like if they want to keep getting embargoed devices to report on they better keep Apple very happy. Andy Ihnatko was one of my favorite reviewers 10+ years ago. He wasn’t always 110% pro Apple in his reviews so they dumped him. I assume anyone getting a pre-release device for review isn’t a journalist but a paid schill (either directly compensated, so at a minimum given the device for favorable reviews to drive clicks). I don’t like it but it is the world we live in today. So I ignore all the reviewers opinions, as it’s just than a subjective, biased opinion.
 


Apple's embargo has lifted on reviews for the new iPad Air ahead of its launch on Friday. In addition to our more detailed review roundup, we've shared a handful of unboxing videos and first impressions of the device below.

The new iPad Air features a larger 10.9-inch edge-to-edge display, a faster A14 Bionic chip, and a USB-C port instead of Lightning. It is also the first Apple device to feature Touch ID built into the power button. Pricing starts at $599 for Wi-Fi models, while cellular models start at $729, with 64GB and 256GB storage capacities available.

With its slimmer bezels, the new iPad Air looks very similar to the iPad Pro. The device is offered in five finishes: space gray, silver, rose gold, green, and sky blue.

The new iPad Air will begin arriving to customers Friday.

This will be my first ever iPad. Is it worth purchasing this iPad along with the expensive accessories? I don't think I actually would use the Apple Pencil, however that Magic Keyboard with Touchpad is a must. At this rate wouldn't a Macbook be a better option? Also considering the less expensive iPad Air is only 64GB, I am sure it's better to upgrade to the 256GB but once again that's reaching a higher price. Thanks for the help

It really depends on what you do with it. Sorry to give a vague response, but each of your choices have strengths and weaknesses.
