He has a recent video praising apple for their usability https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yswp0Bio4Oo
InfraredSnapper
Yeah, I watched that. I think he's putting too much emphasis on repairability, as if most new laptops break down. I've never had one go bad.
GetInDaRobot
I think he puts such an emphasis on it because if something does go wrong and it needs to be repaired, the options are horribly overpriced.

whole unrepairable overpriced garbage route with the Surface Laptop and their own stores and trying to lock down Windows.

Ive priced out specs for macs and PCs, expecting this huge difference. Nope. Prices are scary close and comparable. But i video edit *shrug*
TheOwenator5
Yes, but i assume if you buy the parts and make your own pc, it's quite cheap. I woildn't really know much though.
fictitiousspoon
As someone who builds their own computers, you don't actually save that much these days. You do get more interesting parts/cases though.
FilmMagician
Yeah that's what it seems. In this video he actually says he's not a fan boy and suggests Apple stuff to people can use it best.
LetumComplexo
It's really not that much cheaper when you factor in software and the monitor. A lot of people try to compare a box to a full iMac.
LetumComplexo
The primary benefit is you get exactly what you want, and don't have to buy a system with limited options.
pixelsnader
It really depends on what you want to do. I've got a 4 year old PC that cost >1000, still runs DOOM at 1080p, and a 30 inch 1440p monitor. ~
pixelsnader
8GB ram, 240SSD and 1.5TB storage. CPU/GPU are somewhat outdated by now, but 27inch imac starts at €2100, so I got €800 bucks wiggle room.
LetumComplexo
I don't know what the actual price for an iMac is in different parts of the EU, but in the US it starts at $1800 (~1600€).
ugunaeatdat

BTW, looking up the Macbook price I noticed: http://www.techradar.com/news/microsofts-surface-laptop-is-even-harder-to-repair-than-a-macbook

People really need to start getting in their thick head that making things portable and efficient comes at a repairability price.
ZaphodForgotHisTowel
Difference is there are many options when purchasing Windows. If you want a Mac, you HAVE to get an expensive ~unrepairable one.
vaunkerjack
He actually made a video lambasting Microsoft over this very thing.

Then, like most PC users, don't buy a surface. And the surface is a tablet, not a laptop. I understand hard fixes when stuff is behind glass

oh, so they stuck a keyboard on it now? Well, plus one for ingenuity.

Itsdarkandhellishot
People's preferences do not exactly make them "holier-than-thou" or a "prick." - Apple User & Windows User.
IAmTheRealCalvinAndHobbes
People are comparing apple products in a whole to pc and droid products in a whole. The surface is the only one product under the whole
IAmTheRealCalvinAndHobbes
That's difficult to work on. Every other pc or droid phone is basic stuff
ninjasaiyan777
More options for buying Windows products. You don't have to buy a Surface. With OSX you have to buy Apple main line products.
CanadasOnlyBlackGuy
You can just put OSX on another PC or run a VM
Itsdarkandhellishot
Yep.
ZaphodForgotHisTowel
The Surface had to pack all the hardware in behind the screen, including the battery. The keyboard part typically houses most of the...
ZaphodForgotHisTowel
...hardware, so to have all that tech in a handheld display takes sacrifices. No excuse for Apple.
pixelsnader
That's a different model. You're thinking of the Surface Book. This one's actually a laptop, not a laptop/tablet hybrid.
ZaphodForgotHisTowel
I meant the keyboard part of a regular laptop (ie MBP, surface book, etc). The Surface has to put all hardware within the tablet part.

Yes, and this particular model has CPU etc in the KB half. https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Microsoft+Surface+Laptop+Teardown/92915#s173108

Nope. Just more calls for us from people who tried but essentially all they did was void their coverage.
InvadingYourSpaces
What coverage? I've never heard of anyone successfully getting their device replaced or repaired for free.
ILoveCreamPies
One year warranty, AppleCare. If you have none the device is 3+ years old or you're the "I will never need this, waaah now I need it" type

You put a lot of faith into an Apple users ability to repair something.

He likely has viewers send him broken items to fix. But even if he was buying them the monetization from his channel far exceeds the cost.

They likely send those parts so he gets pisshed of and make video's about the products that are breaking down everytime.

That's exactly why they place the stickers that say if the sticker is removed or damaged then your warranty is voided.

I'm impartial to companies, but have you seen the new surface? People are saying it's nearly impossible to repair. Especially the keyboard.

Hey that's fine, as long as you watch this dude's video to learn how to repair your phone should it break, instead of buying a new one
giganticroboticpenguin
I have been a Mac user since 1988. I have never owned an iOS device, only use iTunes for OS updates and haven't bought a new Mac since 1997.
giganticroboticpenguin
I am really fed up with computers that can't be repaired or upgraded, and having the OS ignored so iOS can get small incremental updates.
LitteralyHitler
Same. Iphone 5 tho.
fusrohjordan
Come to the dark side.

I'm too lazy... @theDarkSide can you pull me?

Nonsense. Plenty of good options and I'm sure you're eligible or very close to being eligible to upgrade.

Apple has really good customer service, though...it's perfect for people who don't want to fix their things themselves and most don't. Plus>
SalmonSushee
Just got a replacement pair of Beats from the repair shop.
zanoii
Apple has by far provided both the best and worst service experience for me. From "we'll just swap it" to 1/
zanoii
2/ "this is not a known issue, it's not covered by warranty" (regarding 1st gen MBA hinges).
theImigurer
Their customer service just tells you their shit is broken and entices you to buy a new one. In a nutshell
hedcase
Also they know there shit breaks so often they NEED a good returns/repair policy.
am0k
Fanboy lie. I was the same way, but the Apple customer service is so good, it is almost creepy. They replace broken stuff for no cost.
kirivon
Yeah, I had my charger cable start to fray (they're like $80). Popped by the Apple store and was off with a new one for free within the hour
KodakKid3
Apple is great for people who don't know how or care to operate a computer, while also being very wealthy
SerialKitten666
Don't need to be very wealthy, just priorities. But yes, they're MUCH better suited for people who don't understand tech. These people>
SerialKitten666
break their windows and get them infected so easily, they end up spending more on a Windows because of this...That being said, many people>
SerialKitten666
who do things like graphics design, video editing, coding, etc love macs because they're good with that and can run Bootcamp! 2 pcs in 1.
SerialKitten666
Apple PCs dont break nearly as much as PCs. I've torn through PCs all my life but had the same Mac for 8 years and it's still great, shrug>
Drasas
You can't compare the hardware of a thousand dollar Mac to a fucking 300 buck Dell Laptop. You get what you pay for in many cases.

Same. Bought my first macbook 5 years ago..have gone through 3 other laptops since then, yet it still runs as well as it did 5 years ago
DaveTheMurderingHippo
I've had the same HP laptop for 7 years and the only things wrong with it are my fault. Bad battery usage and dropped it once.
SerialKitten666
Not that our mac minis at work fair well, they're never maintained and left on for months at a time, but they only freeze and not crash, too
SerialKitten666
Lucky! HP is usually crap. Most of my work's pc's are HP and they crash, overheat and need yearly maintenance :/
DaveTheMurderingHippo
Yea this is the 6 model from back then, the one that was recalled for that exact reason.
SerialKitten666
And I do know how to fix a PC, it just always needed fixing and broke completely faster. Just pick what OS you like, like damn.

I'm surprised this is at 3 and not -3. The only time i needed to bring a mac in was for physical damage from a severe blow it took well

Right now, the ones in real trouble are channels that are not 8-y old friendly. Swearwords get demonetized, as well as some games.

I'm so happy to read these. TY to this guy because it is all the HUGE problem of planned obsolescence, the planet, the rare earth etc.
leodavinci1
"Planned obsolescence" is simply an luddite buzz phrase against technological advancement. You can't progress without old things 1 of 2
leodavinci1
becoming... well, old things. Jeesh! The next thing you know people will want to make eggs without breaking shells. 2 of 2
emberfish
That's not what the phrase means. It's designing things to intentionally break or be un-upgradable to ensure future business/consumption.
Blahblahhh
I don't think you know the proper definition of that word, go look it up
emberfish
If Apple is intentionally designing things to be unrepairable, you must buy a new one. Hence, planned obsolescence.
rmmmm
Are you joking? Please stop. It's not against """progress""" to ask for updates after 3 years or more recycling at least.. come on.. 1/2

Well, the new macs have removable memory, gpus, and processors. And the top repair companies post videos of the break down w/ each release
MotherfuckinFalcoandShit
Uhh what? No they don't. You can't even upgrade the RAM in a MacBook or iMac.
MotherfuckinFalcoandShit
Anyway, Louis does component-level repair, something very very few companies would even attempt.
leighlovesbooks
That's weird because we upgraded the RAM in our iMac not too long ago. 32 gigs, aw yisssss ????
alexatrf21
That is very weird. I gave my Macbook Pro a 500GB SSHD and upgraded the ram 6GB.
HermeneuticalQuandary
that was meant to be iMac. You couldn't upgrade in the 21". They used to solder it in. Now it isn't. You can always upgrade the 27"

They took him to court over something but I was out of the loop, all I remember is that he didn't lose anything in the process besides time

Cease and dissing won't work I think because he's not selling anything, it's all free advice
Addman0
u are correct legally but the DNCA says that your video goes down your appeal, then a court decides if it a violation. (1/2)
icantbelieveijoined
"not selling" and "Free advice" isn't a defense. In this case he isn't doing anything wrong, but charging or not has nothing to do with it.
