    This guy doesn't know what he's talking about it at all. If you don't know about the new MacBook Pro, I wouldn't recommend watching it since you'll hear a lot of stupid things throughout the review :p.

    "It's a new material called "aloominom", it feels like shiny plastic." That's one of the quotes you'll hear...

    Pay close attention at the 49 second mark... (I'd post a screen capture but I don't have that ability yet I see...) anyway, that reminds me of the review of Firefox that someone did and they had not cleared the explicit files from their Download history. :p

    Man, that's priceless :eek:...

    By the way, did you guys realize that he didn't even know the right specs of it? He also said that people are paying him for his blog and that's how he afforded the MBP over the MacBook. I guess that's why our economy is so ****ed up :p.

    I only got about 3 minutes into it and decided to stop watching, I just couldn't stand it any longer. Wonder how he's getting all of that traffic to his blog in order to afford a MacBook Pro. :confused:

    By the way, his Nano review is almost as bad "Videos just don't work. I get my videos from the PirateBay and I try to load on some Xvids and it won't play, and you know, uhhh, the Apple phone will play any format because it has a much larger screen". "The connectivity of the NanoPod is a little disappointing, I mean, it has no wifi and uhhh it's something I only realized after I tried connecting to my "rooter", but hopefully a firmware feature will unlock it". "Actually, when it's turned off, behind the screen are several solar reflectors that will help charge the battery and help restore its' charged by, you know, being pointed in the general direction of sunlight. If an idiot can make over $1k making crappy videos, I should start a blog and make good reviews, imagine what I'd make... ;).

    Don't make fun of the mentally handicapped. They were born that way, they didn't choose to be like that.

    I'm quite certain this guy's joking. He's got gameplay videos and performance benchmarks on his website, so he must have enough computer knowledge to be, um... knowledgeable :p. I'm quite certain he does this for laughs.

    This is awesome. He says aluminum just nicely when he's talking about the trackpad. But when he's talking about the body, he uses aloominiiiiium.

    Also, he's Canadian by accent.

    Wow, what a detailed review. 0_0 :p
    Aloominium casing, graphics card good for spread sheet work, oh yeah. Apple Pro & Apple Air. and what's up with Dr. Aibal! XP I almost closed firefox when I heard that. XP Oooh yeah, integrated graphics card from Intel? I'm 99% sure the new MacBook Pro uses (both integrated + dedicated) nVidia graphics cards... And I just don't get the part about creeky laptops... :p

    I love it people come on and call a guy stupid when the review is a spoof - the irony is lovely.

    If you watched the whole video you'll have seen how he stuck his iphone to the screen and said how he enjoyed being able to sync his iPhone this way and that it was a feature missing from Dell's machines. Did that impossible lie not give it away at all?

    'and then they glue all the components inside so that's it's very solid'
    'has at least two video cards'
    'the faster nvidia which will speed up your graphic applications, ah, uh spread sheeting'- Classic XD.
