12" Macbook Review - One month with one hole 

that's the most expensive spin ever done lol

pretty ballsy spinning 1300 buck on your finger with that much confidence. mad skillz doe

Dat spin tho

"One month with one hole" Kinda sounds like you just got married or sth

Spinning around 1300 dollars like its nothing lol

Damn son, you are like the Asian MKBHD. Great reviews man.

One month with one hole.. Sounds like my first college relationship.

Why does the music have a cat meowing every 10 seconds??

OMG!! that spin thing at the start

Bro you are growing so fast and the videos are just so good right off the bat. You will be huge soon man!

I enjoy watching your laptop reviews when I have no intention of buying a laptop. Top notch videos.

I'm giving you thumbs up directly because of the Macbook spinning - the review was great to!

"If you can get use to it." This phrase and variations on it are very common in reviews on Apple products.

The spin was flawless!

one month with one hole,I cant be the only one seeing this

just found your channel. That crazy spin just got you a new subscriber! That's dope!

Thanks for your no nonsense honest reviews.

Production quality is superb, and these one month with... videos are actually great for helping the buyer. You deserve more views!

Honest score. Real review without valueless bells and whistles.

This was probably the most chill review I've ever seen. Subscribed man!

This MacBook would be perfect for a college student like me :) Except the price tag.

Perfect review, earned a sub, I like how you are honest with everything and that key-point at the end really hit me "You shouldn't have to make sacrifices for a product you just payed $1,300 for".. Hopefully generation 2 they can fix a lot of tte issues.

Your clarity of thoughts and presentation help in making comparisons for informed decision. Thanks.

By far the best review on this little guy I've seen. You hit the experiences in different, common settings that many reviews don't really discuss and gave the product some time to really develop solid thoughts on it. Nice videos man.

The inspiration behind this MacBook is that a lot of people don't use ports on their computers anymore. An increasing number of users are using online cloud services to share files. So it's not a compromise for those people; in fact, the new MacBook is better without the ports that some users will hardly use.

that spin gave me so much anxiety

This was a great review Dave. Objective, mixed and beautifully edited. Well done.

Clean and crisp review/video, had me subscribed watching this! thumbs up.

i watched almost all of your reviews of all the laptops. outstanding and astonishing job, man!!! the best reviewer ever. cant wait for the Razer Core review from you. looking for a latptop with usb-c and works fine with the Core. this macbook definaly NOT on my list. and the razer blade stealth is balck its thin, its light but NO sd slot and light up logo... noooo!! lol. anyway the videos are just perfect. thanks man

Skills that Kills in the intro! I subbed because of it.

Awesome review man! Great recommendation and thoughts at the end too. I'm sitting on the fence and as you've mentioned, I'll wait. More power!

This was the review I needed!!!! Something easy to understand and actually use able

what is the wallpaper at 1:08? love it but cant find it anywhere!!!!!

That spinning at the start deserved a thumbs up, for sure.

I'm new to your channel and i have to say your reviews are great. I like the fact that they go straight to the point and from a very humble and down to earth point of view. They make a lot of sense and you don't preach. i hate it when reviewers preach. So keep up the good work! Congrats!

Haven't found a great channel for non phone/tablet technology. You are very good, music is catchy and unobtrusive. Subscribed.

that spin was phenomenal ! wowww

These still look dope in 2022. Imagine if they released a new one with the M1 when the new Air comes out with the M2.. 🤤 With that said, gonna have try pry my Air from me in a decade. I adore this little beauty.. everything works soooo well. This 12” is fucking gorgeous in it’s own right. Just severely underpowered and needed better keys on the keyboard. I just realized I know nothing on the sound, like how are the speakers sounding type shit.

Awesome review style! This is just what I'm looking for! Kudos to you!

Very good review. I've never seen any other reviewers take a look at heat and sound like you do. Keep up the good work.

People keep repeating that it doesn't do much for its price, but then you need to remember what you're paying for. In this case you're not exactly paying for processing power and the ability to render 4K videos -- you're paying for the design, construction, lightweight, and (of course) style of the laptop that has fairly long-lasting battery-life and is more than capable of doing your regular note-taking / desk job. In a gaming PC, you don't have to pay for the computer to be compact and small with all aluminum plates -- so instead the money you pay is spent on ramping up the hard drive and other specs. A sports car and a tow truck are both cars, but they serve different functions. Yes, you're paying a shitload of money for a Ferrari and maybe still driving the same distance a cheap truck can take you, and hell it can't even tow a car, but it's "worth it" to someone who wants the style, the horsepower, the look, for whatever reason. If you want a hardcore computer, for playing games on high FPS and rendering 4K videos, go get that. If you want to look cool with Apple branded, light weight, "pioneer tech", intended for web surfing and word processing, go ahead and spend your money.

the single port.. you ADAPT to it HAHAHA ok no

Super in depth review man top quality content

Great review. Your videos have a great feel to them. Keep em coming!

love your reviews! keep of up!

*starts twirling $1300 dollar computer on finger

Well done review man. You covered all the bases

Hey! The best review ever, loved it. Now I really know when to buy this. Thanks!

Great review .. hit a lot of key points with out spending needless time..

"One month with one hole" The name of a great romance novel if I've ever heard one.

Thanks for sharing the wallpaper. Love the Space Grey.

I like your style. Matching grey color everywhere! Thumbs up for that!

MacBook 12 is a Netbook for $1300 Which Should Be Only Selling for $300

i don't use ports, i don't use webcams, i like the keyboard. no compromises here

I really like your voice and you seem like such a genuine person!

Awesome reviews. Most honest review. Good job keep it up

A 2015 notebook that can't chug through CS:GO or DOTA2. Wow. Pricey paperweight ya got there. Single port is unforgivable. There is no getting used to lack of functionality. Good review as always.

Hey Dave, What SATA - USB cable is that, Im looking for one

Been using a 2015 MacBook for about a year now and I love it. I work a lot of public transport and this is just perfect for that. I also really like the keyboard (each to their own). Still I understand why this laptop isn't for everyone. Thanks for the review Dave, I love your take on new tech. My only question is, how on earth do you afford all of this amazing stuff??

Congrats for 1 million views!!!! Probably I was the one millionth one to watch!!!! Very happy... Keep up the great job!,!!

When you started spinning it, my jaws dropped lol

I was scared Dave that you were going to drop this precious thing at the beginning of the video.

Good review without the bs. Well done and I have subscribed.

Fantastically detailed review, yo! Plus the video looks sweet. Thanks! :D

Good review as usual! Err, was there something to catch the Macbook if you dropped it at the start? Kind of had me panicked, lol.

HOW DO YOU SPIN THE LAPTOPS ON YOUR FINGERS???????

First video I'm watching from you, and I'm pretty impressed! Keep this up, Dave!

I enjoyed the video....and thanks for the wallpaper...it looks stunning on the macbook pro :D

Could you explain how you perfected the notebook finger spin?

"I don't love it..." That's how I have felt about every Apple product released under Tim Cook.

congratulations david! you are making very professional and interesting videos!

Spot on review. For those who're curious about the battery life issue, I've found I commonly get nine hours of video playback or more on one charge by only lessening the screen brightness by 20% or so. After owning and traveling extensively with this 12" MacBook for 1 1/2 years, I call this my very light yet delightful machine that has plenty of memory (mine has 512 GB), great sound, and remarkable battery life. Not bad for a real notebook that only weighs a scant 2 pounds. A solid secondary laptop that heavy tech users will enjoy. Apple keeps proving, lightweight notebooks with a lovely screen and great sound makes this rather pricey machine well worth it over the long haul.

Subbed after one video. This guy is the next best tech reviewer on RU-vid. Check him out folks.

Personally I DO love mine but thank's for the objective review.

Great review. Subscribed. So after this would you say it would have been better if they just added Retina to the current MacBook Air (like everyone wanted) and added the new trackpad? I certainly wish they would have.

Love your reviews man!

I need a new laptop so badly, but i hate these keys so much! wish the chromebook pixel was available in Australia.

It can edit 4K. But only in Final Cut Pro X.

I rarely comment on videos but just wanted to let you know, you have a high quality and really likeable channel. You seem like a really chill dude too so the personality factor is good. You got yourself a new sub!

I like how you didn't praise it all the way, or diss it non stop. You stuck to the facts and added in a few opinions but was still good. First vid I've seen by you and subbing already

0:15 I cringed so hard I didn't want it to fall xD

Great review that I concur with completely having played with one in stores over the last few weeks to evaluate it. The keyboard is a primary example of form over function. As a designer myself, I can see now Jony Ive on the drafting table ensuring that all the rectangles that make up the MacBook keyboard align, with no ugly gaps that would spoil the uniform slab of cracked black embedded in sexy coloured alumin(i)um. In reality world, the chunkier keyboards are the most comfortable and impose less stress on your finger bones. I'm typing this on a superb 10 year old Dell SK-8135 desktop keyboard that cost me 5 pounds used, about $7! Full size full throw keys, tactile volume control knob and media controls etc. Makes a huge difference to typing speed and accuracy, and there's no finger pain. What Apple should have done is to have retained the MacBook Air keyboard (not worrying about machine thinness), replaced the screen with this new superb retina display, and of course, used the new fanless internals. Oh, and added a second USB C port like the superb Google Pixel 2 Chromebook. Not to mention an SD card slot! I'm at a loss as to who the MacBook 2015 is aimed at... Writers? They don't need the retina display, but they do need a good keyboard - so the 11" MBA handles that market. Photographers? No way! Not enough power to handle large 20MP RAW files from a Nikon D3 or Canon 1D nor an SD card slot for quick file transfer. (USB 2.0 is way too slow and no cameras offer USB 3 or C yet.) Video? Enough said. Gamers? 1300 for a toy computer? No way Jose! It sounds crazy, but there is only ONE application for this machine, Adobe Illustrator - my own use. You don't need the keyboard much for graphic design, other than function hot keys and captions. The screen is high res and offers good colours for print and web colour matching. The CPU and SSD are more than enough for working on vector images that are less processor intensive.

great stuff! loving the reviews! very mkbhd inspired and its great!

DIRECTIONAL KEYS OMG. Finally someone mentioned it. Thank you. Subbed

I am coming from a 15" MBP Late 2008 (8gb RAM and SSD) and I got the MacBook 1.3Ghz to replace it. Sad to say but the MBP from 2008 is faster. I really don't want to return this computer because it is just so sexy but I am thinking I will have to. Scrolling through webpages is slow, can't playback RU-vid videos and 2x speed @ 720p without it being choppy. Sad day. EDIT/Update: So I went back to the apple store and tried using their MacBook again and it worked great. The only difference was I was using Safari at the Apple Store and Chrome at home. I tried RU-vid at home with Safari and it ran great, even with 4k video. Chrome, not so much. I am not the only one with speed issues with Chrome. Here is what worked for me. Updated Chrome to the current beta and installed chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/h264ify/aleakchihdccplidncghkekgioiakgal?hl=en-US which forces RU-vid to serve H.264 videos instead of VP8/VP9 videos. This made the difference and now I can use Chrome + RU-vid and watch videos at 2x speed without hickups. I am keeping the MacBook now.

Do a desk tour? It looks simple but everyone loves desk tours!

Great honest review! Thanks!

Awesome start to the video

My balls started to go up into my body when he started to doing that spinning at 0:18

What windows laptop comes closest to a mac trackpad?

Another awesome review! Where do you get your wallpapers though?

It's great to know someone else like you doesn't love this 12 inch MacBook. Been trying to convince myself and I loved the "idea" but in reality it's not gonna replace my 17 inch Sony laptop from 2011. Need a new laptop though thinking between surface book or MacBook Pro 13 (but deciding between non or with touch bar). Thank you for your honest opinion though!!

Just can't dig out one thing: This 12" rMB uses a 29W external charger/adapter to power and/or charge its battery. In fact, you can also see 14.5Vdc/2.0A inscribed under the back cover... If so, how can you charge this thing with an external battery bank, which normally has a 2.1A or so but 5.0Vdc output? How can you charge a 14.5Vdc device only using 5.0Vdc?

what happened when you dropped it?

I’ve been watching this video again and again for the past few years and I just now understood the “one hole“ meaning. I was confused for the longest time what you were referring to until now.

Thanks so much for this review!

"..if you force yourself to only use this one port, you'll get used to it". Well, if you put your fingers in between the door and slam it shut every morning, for weeks on end, you'll get used to that too. Getting used to something is far from experiencing something as pleasant :) As for the keyboard, everyone keeps saying "Apple had to make the keyboard so thin to fit it in here". No, they didn't have to, it was a specific choice they made. You mentioned the best example yourself: the Asus UX305. That ultrabook is even ever so slightly thinner, but it still has a "regular" laptop keyboard. The same goes for the ports, Apple explicitly chose to not put more ports on this device. They could have easily done it, and imo they should have, but they didn't. This is basically in line with their marketing strategy: give people something new and interesting, but give them something that leaves them wanting more. I wouldn't be surprised if the version 2 of this device will have an extra USB port (USB A or C) and an SD-card reader. It's also quite funny that the Macbooks have really good speakers, this one as well, better then most other laptops/ultrabooks. However, Apple's phones and tablets have very mediocre sound, with rubbish single bottom mounted speakers instead of dual front facing ones.

The title of this sounds like a story about Kris Humphries' marriage with Kim Kardashian...

These vids are amazing u deserve 1 million subs if not more!

Sweet review Dave, I know you are busy so you might not even see my comment but I do enjoy your videos. They are professional, have a ton of info and its fun to watch. Also Im not sure how you could spin something like that on your fingers, just crazy. Anyways do you think you could review the 2017 12 inch Macbook with the core i5/i7 processors and just talk about if its even worth buying over the older models.
