United Pandalas lolz

LOOOOL

Don't be so quick to assume.

Could of left in the car in winter

So I left mine in there too, but the battery seems to charge but the light is very dim, and green, but it still won't turn on.

+Arjen Hartink i lold

+Arjen Hartink I did left mine outdoor while it was snowing for 30ish mins

It's to see if it would survive in the snow and who knows?

Dude I live Canada and I'm pretty sure we have common sense to NOT leave our computers in our freezing cars.

ProN00B97 no one brings a cpu around. its a computer.

Rektnato Well now you know you can take your MacBook to the top of mount Everest and it will survive haha

Jimmy in the last test it should of slipped off the car, fell on railroad tracks as a freight train was coming

that actually happened to me last week. It got a slight scuff but I was pretty rattled.

I does work if you plug it in

The battery broke and there may be other kind of damage that is just not visible. I have dropped many mobile phones in water. All of them usually start after drying, but other kind of nasty problems appear. Speaker stopped working in one, and other got sensitivy problems with keys. So there is very likely some damage somewhere even tough it boots up. If the electronics isn't water proof, don't put it in water. :/

Teddy C that's because the power cord is giving the energy for the computer to work. The only thing that the battery is doing is charging (what it isn't doing in this case cause it's broken.

Yeah you could just replace it

thank u captain obvious

+Mil Man probabaly 500 millieseconds xD

Its just the terrible panel on the mac plus it being very bright out. The contrast washes out the screen.

we might be talking about different scenes. What time are you talking about?

Lol I knew there would be a comment like this :D

dylan park bro you’re lost, where it actually died headass

Lol 😂

***** The test is nonsense. The computer has a range of temperature that it can work.

***** HAHAHAHA SO FCKING TRUE!! but i think she is his mom or something like that actually :P

And the ring would be the Nokia 3310

***** she dosen't buy this stuff, cnet HER JOB does

Wait what ? You recieved a heart from CNET... In 2020 ( 2021 )

I remember loads of dislikes and comments from people who were saying things like 'OMG what's the pont of this, you could've given that laptop to me!@!£!' and actually being serious/not joking... I always hated the stupidity of those comments and the dislikes. Like it or not these videos were important consumer advice. It's always nice to know how durable/fragile a piece of tech is.

I watched with my windows 10 Laptop and I looked very smug

+diamondminerHD Mcpe player Windows 10, haha, shit system

You kidding me? Windows 10 is the most used operating system in the world and has made many apple and linux users switch since the day of release

diamondminerHD Mcpe player erm, no, it isnt, windows 10 is no match for windows 7 and everyone knows that

+probE466 OMG ikr XD, if i ever build a new pc for myself i'll keep using windows 7 XD

Hands down my favourite era of RU-vid. RU-vid started going downhill from 2015 onwards and the adpocalypse killed it for good. It's a shame that young people today/in the future will never know how incredible RU-vid was back in the day.

lol

Ikr

Molly left.

YEAH THIS WAS GOOD

Agreed

Molly went to New York Times and now she is on a podcast or npr or something idk

yes me too I was dying/ shit ( me realizing how when you commented )

So it's her fault people are starving? I am a consumer i want to know if this product will be durable I dont care about the hungry they can help themselves why is it people expect others to do things for them

Enrique Vera Actually in 90% of the cases they can't. They live in poverty, no jobs, no education, nothing. They don't expect the help. But it is ridiculous, she could have donated the $600+ to a charity and fed people who can't do anything to help themselves, as they have no jobs or any method of getting a job.

AmazingJessicaa Thomas Those children do not deserve $600 in free funds from a complete stranger. I don't care that they are living in poverty, I don't care that they have no jobs, I don't care that they don't have an education. 90% of the money donated goes straight into the bank accounts of the people working at the charity organization. This video is well worth its $1000 price tag as it provides more than enough entertainment and educational value. Not to mention they probably made more than enough to cover the price of the macbook. How about YOU actually help them by purchasing plane tickets to Africa?

Mo K. How will purchasing a plane ticket to Africa help? I'm pretty sure the money donated to legitimate charities is appreciated, how do they not deserve it? Who deserves the $600 more? A woman who obviously has enough money to waste, or people who can't afford to buy anything?

***** Except it's not hilarious...

Yeah I know, I thought nobody else with notice that. I was just to lazy to comment.

Too lazy to do a re-test . At least you admit it now , your sins are forgiven ;P

?

Aren't you supposed to be smart

I was questioning what your mean by sins, how is religion conflicted with this. Why are you being a snot when I'm agreeing with you?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Eww

LOL

i need holy water.

Hawkeye111 listen to 2:22

Me

This was very hard to watch

+Kay Pea I got popcorn and cried every time these biased tests failed. Nothing to prove the heat, nothing to show that there weren't wires for drops, and who the hell puts a laptop in less than a centimeter of water!? dunk it in the pool! A Latitude e6420 can survive that.

+Kay Pea Not at all. It's an Apple product, so I rather felt warm and fuzzy inside, lol!

Nah I no rich guy

I feel your pain

Haha yeah it was a very *facepalm* moment

that's what I did when I first got my macbook though.😂

God yes

The MacBook won't start until you release they power key though.

Lol

same here

Me too actually xD

Same xD

same haha

For a second I thought you said your three year olds MacBook lol

XD, no offence but i wouldn't give a 3 year old any apple product to begin with, i might sound "mean" but my kids first computer will be the family desktop that sits in the living room. They won't get there own laptop until they start college.

Oh yeah I agree totally

stormraven201 college ? dam thats a bit harsh . im in highschool and probably couldn't survive without my macbook air .

I wasn't even allowed on the computer unless it was homework, my mother would sit in the living room with me just to make sure i was't on anything else. I think i'm being more fair then the way i was raised. At least they can still play games and watch things on it, It won't be just for homework. Besides, those computers are expensive, if they save money and buy it on there own thats on them, but i personally wouldn't buy them one until college.

+Lucas Souksavath why didn't you leave it in the freezer?

Because I was searching for recipes

It was just to simulate leaving it outside in snow or at least extremely cold weather

+Ron Weasley that's actually pretty good lol

+sally johnson Maybe it's just me but I have never forgot outside in the snow...

FroddeB shut up

Love It!

It's not her fault...

I'll totally leave my laptop on the roof of my car....

or maybe u live in a cold area?

you should come to edmonton - canada in the winter and you well understand why they did that test

MrMdbling I now live in Calgary, AB. As you probably know it does get quite cold here too so I suppose I can give you that one.

yeah i totaly put my devises on the roof of my car xD the only thing i ever put on a car roof is a can of cola xD

They could have used another Mac book if the first test failed.

Lol true

+Its Ana Like they did with the iPod Touch :P

You are really smart.

My car was routinely colder than a freezer when parked outside this winter. What if I left my computer in my car overnight?

Kyle Preiksa well said...

I guess its the same as leaving your mac book outdoors in Alaska during the winter.

***** If you want to push it to the limit, push the cpu and gpu to max load, and see if its processors have throttled themselves or overheated. That would be more relevant (to most people) than leaving it in a freezer or putting it under a heat lamp for a few hours. The only realistic and relevant test they did here is to drop the thing.

Probably to simulate leaving it outside in snowy weather and climate?

It,'s a joke 😑

+zoala001 I've been trying really really hard to keep myself from getting into disputes on youtube as it's mostly just a waste of time but, I feel like I needed to address this one because anyone who can see the sense in the point you're trying to make should also be sensible enough to see this point of view I'm trying to convey. Yes, you have some valid points, but some of the points don't validate your case. The first sentence: obvious over exaggeration. But by now most people know that people who talk in that sort of way don't mean it, it's just a figure of speech, so let's move on. Second sentence: Based on the "everybody" mentioned in the first sentence, those "everybodies" are people of high compassion. Why would they want to take the life a loved one, regardless of the being, for a stranger? 3rd and 4th sentence: People have varying degrees to their own views and beliefs, on politics, religion and all sorts of things. Some don't care about things, while others care a little, and even others have strong views and beliefs, but only few are extremists. Even though not all are extremists people have an urge to express their beliefs if they feel it is the right thing to do. And to the last statement: It doesn't apply because it misses the bigger picture. The relatively small sacrifice required for the advancement of science and technology can progress the well being of many more. TL:DR version: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Yes at times, it may seem the cries for the starving children seem perpetual. But these cries often come from people who are compassionate, though their compassion may come in varying levels, they all come together to make a generalized statement. and the statement seems to be: "We may not be perfect, but we try to be good. We don't always do the right things, but we try to do as we should. We may not be the most compassionate, but at least we try to be considerate. We may be insignificant, but we have the potential to create change." ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

YUniverseVideos this is not a english class to write an essay! sorry don't have time to read all this!

Are people really that dumb to fall for b8?

Or a wasp lol

The battery is part of the Macbook.

I think its coz the water got into the gap of the loose back panel

It did not fail because it actually turned on if it actually failed the mac wouldn't have turned on with a charger it could easily get repaired and it works with a charger that's better than nothing

Zack Britton It did fail, because it turned off.

Try doing this to your own laptop.

But you (or at least somebody) might attempt to use it on a freezing cold day, no?

If you live in a cold climate (Canada) and leave your bag with laptop in it in the car overnight then this is a real fear.

You never know.. A buddy of mine found his phone in the fridge the day after a party.So u never know what happens when u are drunk..

I actually do live in canada. But you would have to be a REAL idiot to leave your laptop in the car.. In cold climates you are most likely in a heated place.

Why would you have to be an idiot to leave your laptop in the car? For a start, this video shows that your MacBook Air at least could survive the cold. Secondly though, sometimes people rush, are stressed out, or just not being mindful at the time and do things they maybe shouldn't (like forgetting you left your laptop in the car) ;)

Nope

I fell't like shooting the tester.....just felt likeit

coolkysh haha I'm not alone :)

Nope I felt like I was dying inside

Diana Rodriguez exactly.....

It's a ssd

The MacBook Air runs on flash memory, no hard drive or moving parts.

+shane moriarty it's SSD (Solid State Drive) or flash storage. not a little slow spinning disk in it HDD (Harddisk Drive)

+shane moriarty even macs with a harddrive will survive because they have a patented SMS (sudden motion sensor) so when fast motion is detected, it parks the drive heads and starts spinning it down until it detects the movement has stopped or after the impact is over. But yes, the macbook air is flash, as are many of the Macs now.

^ wow i did NOT know that. That's awesome!

That's like saying 'why is a drop test a failure if the screen broke? remove the panel and replace it'. Think.

JoshJ Not quite. While today batteries are more integrated into the hardware than in traditional laptops they are still and expendable component while a screen is not.

cubixthe Not in every case, however. Screens can be replaced on most devices for a quarter of the cost of buying it new again, so to me my views are different :)

and the bottom of the laptop was pryed open so if it was not damaged i think it would have survived.

***** I was going to make that point, if I spilled an entire pint of water on my computer/macbook it would run straight off the desk, not surround it, I think they just HAD to kill to Mac, they couldn't just let Apple win!

still not a big fan of apple even after 8 years ? 😅

​@gokulkrishnan8692 what makes you think they got any better lol

That's what I thought. I have to hold my laptops one for about half a second, and that seems long. I don't know. Might be different for Macs

when you hold the button for that long, its not a shut-off, its an entire reboot to the system

This is kind of an incredibly late reply to your Deviantart post, but.. FOR SCIENCE! :P Neeh, it's a shame, but it pleases the audience, therefor makes money, still a waste though Was kind of surprised it still works (eventhough the battery died) Go Mac! :D

***** Agree!

beautiful XD Say that in one year

***** They sure do Aaron,i have a older 2007 macbook,works beautifully still,,Viva Mac!!

Anna Comloski try running flash :3 (sarcastic tan man is sarcastic)

They're definitely not "out of the realm of possibility"... It's possible to spill water on it, leave in the sun too long, or drop it. And if you live in Canada, it'll definitely need to resist some pretty cold temperatures. You need to think outside the box.

***** Exposing a device to any sort of cold is a risk since it may frost slightly, and then when you enter a warm place, moisture builds up. Some people might be tired after a long day and forget their belongings in the car, then it really needs to protect itself from the climate. You're extremely narrow minded and you can't think of things outside the box, which makes you the dipshit in this case.

***** I hope you're joking.

Not a word of a lie in the mornings in winter the leather seats in my moms car frost over

2010 Chevy Cobalt

Actually, it's much more likely that it's logic board damage

I cried watching this

If you were a true nerd, you wouldn't cry over a macbook air...

Kelvin Tran Well, I'm not a cheap bastard, I am a nerd.

Hipster horror story actually xD

Marshall Murdock That's what I'm sayin' :D

TechJunkie haha

I'm watching on my iPhone 7 jet black

ValorBeast Playz I am and about to drop mine from a airplane into a volcano

Watching this on a ThinkPad. I'm genuinely impressed by the build quality here. I thought I'd be laughing at the competition, but it seems the MacBook is a worthy adversary in the durability department.

Sadly, unlike MacBook Pros, MacBook airs have un-removeable backs meaning you can't upgrade the ram or change the battery.

+TheDerpyPudding stop talking out your ass! I have a mac book air, you CAN remove the back and replace the battery!!!!

+Andy Peterson you have to be serious mate...

Andy Peterson Im talking about the newer 2016 models they don't allow you to remove the back

i have a 2016 model and yes you can remove the back

I think the same! Also it´s important to consider tha nobody will do all this thing with and notebook and the put it on water, i´d like to see the test with a new Macbook Air.

Brian Britos Simmari Yeah, just slide it out and put in a new.. oh wait, not user replaceable.

Actually i never said something about the battery, apart for that today many companies are doing mobil phones with batteries thar are not replaceable, so... maybe someday all company do the same with computers. In my opinion is better a product that can change, but to be honest apple is doing amazing.

***** Okay, not user replacable without voiding the warranty and risking damage to the other componenets inside.

***** No, it would be voided by disassembling the whole macbook to get at the battery.

Naa that's true. I don't like it in the pooper

lol lmao

that's what he* said

I agree

The OS is no indicator on wether the hardware will survive. But it is impressive it survived everything except the water test.

good os XD has Trent even tried windows 7

I don't agree about the hardware part.

Womb Raider Well, att least I don't get windows, an OS that might have been impressive 1998 (at best). ;)

Feminists please unread this

Michael Scuderi horrible human being

hurry get the best zombie weapons you can possibly find, THE FEMINISTS ARE COMING!!!!!!

It's simulating leaving it in a car for example.

+RandomSarahGrace Usually the components inside are able to withstand small drops and shocks if they use high quality solder. Not sure what apple uses though. A typical laptop will most likely break from a fall because of the use of a standard hard drive, but if the computer has an SSD, the computer should be fine.
