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

That’s rather more than a handful. But thanks for collecting them in one place.

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.
Most of them are young kids who can’t even afford the tech she’s unboxing 🤣

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.
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
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.

I was thinking the same thing. Like, thanks MacRumors, but did you really need to share 20 of them?
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.
I never said buy one from Apple or a used one. There are still shops that sell one, at least here in the Netherlands.
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
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.

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