This is 100% why I love Dave’s videos: His unique, sincere, raw opinion. To me he is the best in KZread at this,even if I sometimes disagree with him like in last video about Note 20 ultra where he thinks it’s a reasonable priced phone, no phone is worth that to me. MKBHD has by far the best production and video quality but his opinions are sometimes a bit too soft and generic (and I emphasize “sometimes“). When I want to see a product I go to Marques, when I want to know what someone respected in the field thinks about that product I come here (and also maybe Michael “Mr Mobile” Fisher whose opinions also are very raw and honest). Dave views on things are always interesting, different and true to what he thinks.

Mkbhd is a talking head. Dave is the BARE MINIMUM for an actually tech literate KZreadr I’m terms of context - and what puts him above many on YT who are a lot better is that his production value is closer to Mkbhd (especially at the start when he used to do the more elaborate animations), when others may be talking with an in-focus blank wall as a backdrop. Every time he pops up on mŷ suggested feed I don’t hear anything but a baseline opinion which isn’t *expertise*.

Dave just sold this harder than anybody else has ever before.

The funny thing is that he isn't even selling a product he is selling an life lesson when you expect a tech video. He literally even say it doesn't have to be an expensive iMac. He is basically selling the idea of not waiting for the right thing to come along, but instead just go for whatever you wanna do. Meanwhile plenty of people who are watching this video work at jobs they hate and don't buy tech for some wholesome project they have always wanted to work on. Which is very sad, but very real.

It's everything I like from a reviewer: clean, straight to the point, handling the tech with the care it deserves and not condescending on any "cheaper" hardware - and always respecting other people's opinions. And then there's this. A totally unexpected video with a beautiful and sincere message. You've already become one of my favorite youtuber.

loved this video, brilliant message, "it's just a tool, just do it."

Story time. The iMac was the first Mac I bought. I bought it used with all of my savings. But that machine took me from a poor kid to someone who was able to create, share and make enough money to live what I think is a successful life. My idea of success was just being able to pay for my own place and pay for all of my bills easily. And I’ve achieved that. I didn’t care about if I had the latest Mac. I cared about being able to make stuff.

i think intel would like to hire you. who needs benchmarks and facts when you can sell a product on feelings alone? Don't get me wrong, this review is exactly the kind of thing people are looking for because the actual hardware in this imac is old and boring and if you're even considering it, you don't care that apple is ripping you off for the performance. What actual buyers of imacs care about is whether it's good enough for the work they do, and that's what this video answers. So no, I wouldn't say that technical aspects of a product don't matter, that's ridiculous and naive. But this review fits the product.

I felt the same when I was forced to lecture in front of a 300 student class for the first time. English isn't my first language either, so i had the same fears back then. And the first class didn't go super smoothly not gonna lie. Then after a few lectures, it all of a sudden hit me: why would I care about those minor accent or mispronunciations. I was doing my best at my job. If anyone really was going to judge me on my accent instead of the information i was passing on, screw them. then as soon as i came to terms with myself on that, all the following lectures were a lot less nerve wracking. i even started cracking engineering jokes in front of them whole class. After a whole year, the students loved me. I ended up volunteering for two more years afterwards. That experience really carried me through a lot of intimidating situations. as long as you're doing your best, screw them if they judge you. :)

Sometimes the focus of his camera is off or his kid is making sounds in the background. It's all part of who he is and that makes him unique. I wonder if he even does any color grading. Point is, just do it. Make those videos and be you! If you're not yourself and authentic, people will know. Wish you the best of luck!

We as tech enthusiasts are always obsessing over the specs and aesthetics of products, but we often forget that we purchase Macs, iPads, etc. to CREATE things.

I totally agree with this mentally but I feel like the people who say this always started out with fancy Macs and decent cameras, it'd feel a bit more honest if they actually started out with average computer and crappy camera

This hit me right in the feels man. I grew up in the projects of South Boston; poor, struggling, a hard life without much to look forward to. As I got older, I got in more and more trouble and eventually dropped out of high school, moved out at 16, barely scraping by. But I was an artist, and a musician, and I loved creating, and eventually I came across a Mac, and I fell in love with it, not just OS 8.6 in all its bubblegum blue glory, but the tools that seemed to just be there to help me create and do the things I loved. Fast forward over 25 years and I have had a successful career in design and development, I worked in music (if you're a fan of sE Electronics microphones you've probably seen my work), moved to LA, and generally had a charmed life for someone from the Southie hood. I type this from my 16" MacBook Pro, consistently inspired to be better, to do better, and empowered by the tools I have within arms' reach. I love Apple for that. And I love that using a Mac has allowed me to afford to buy the badass gaming PC I love to spend my free time with, because I also love Microsoft! #OneLove.

Well said Dave. I like the personal approach and wouldn’t mind more videos with this format .

Been watching your videos from the start. For me - this is your best one by far. Much respect.

I didn’t come here for a philosophy lesson but I’m glad I got one

The most different review i have ever seen in my life. Really valuable, really meaningful, really straight forward. Great bold message. Got really emotional with this. Love you ❤️

@Shank Adams No, of course not to that extent.

Your videos are so different and I love that you speak your mind Dave. Thank you

This "Super Weird Review" changed my life. You have given me a truly valuable lesson about the attitude of pursuing life. Always thank you. :)

you nailed it. that was literally the same thought process that i had with starting my youtube channel. i chose to use my ipad that i already have. i use my ipad camera, mics, and edit, all on the ipad. its not perfect, but i wanted to create something and it's all i have the budget for for now.

A suggestion : put these “why you started a channel comments” in those videos of mrwhosetheboss and mkbhd.. where they say why they’ve started youtube channel.. you might get yourself a good chance of tech subs..

Dave that was extraordinary - I totally felt this review. You are one of the greats man, thank you for your honesty and candid take. Respect!

This was a great reminder for me Dave, thank you. I appreciate you reminding me that chasing new tech is a vicious cycle which hinders creativity. Our society has pressured us into thinking we need the latest and greatest, and to hold off because there’s always something better but then well never get anywhere. Get out and just create folks, because otherwise well eat ourselves alive. Cheers.

Best vid Ive seen on youtube in a long ass time. Love it.

Almost expect a "lew later silent review" but "lets talk" begins! Grabs popcorn* ( i love the story time!!!! )

This is hands down the best review, people do serious shit on these devices, and they are not toys to those people. I am so inspired by this.

Dave, you are awesome! Great video and advice. Keep up the good work!

Dave, you have no idea just how inspiring this opening was to hear right now. The best part? I already have the tools, I just need to do it. Thank you.

Since I was struggling to edit with my current rig, I bought a Mac yesterday cuz of this video, and today I finished making a video for a friend ☺️

This is so inspiring, omg I needed this 😭😭😭 Thank you so much for your honestly & vulnerability 💙💙💙

Best part of the video "get the thing and get the job done".

"Get the tool and get the job done" - That was Ron Jeremy's motto to begin with...

wow - what a great review. So refreshing to see this approach you took.

Best review in the channel so far. Thank you Dave! A wonderful reviewer and human being

I signed up for Tech Got philosophy in return I liked it!

It's a wow. I love the message, "if you wanna do something, just go ahead and do it." And the fact that it doesn't matter what people say, just go ahead and do it. Beautiful one Dave, i just love your videos. All the way from Swaziland (ESWATINI) I love your work.

The starting few minutes gave me goosebumps, honestly. And that’s what people need to hear. So thank you Dave for making this video the way you made it. Completely authentic. And you made a very valid and great point. And I think it has a lot do with Uranus Retrograde as well. Now I too know what to do. Kudos to you man! Always love your videos ❤️🙌🏼

A great heartfelt message. No time like the present. Thanks for all the awesome vids!

11 minutes ago, I knew so little about Dave, it feels like. Now, somehow, I care about him so much more.. as a person. He's no longer just some tech reviewer I watch on YT... how often does that ever happen?

everyone: talking about the life message and motivating story me: wow! what a nice ice cream shirt!

Never watched your videos before but really loved your personal story and review. Thanks man!

Very nice and deep talk. I really appreciate your thought regarding the motivation and the goals we set in our lives. A mac, a computer, a phone is a tool for our creativity, a tool needed to express ourselves, our feeling. I am totally with you. Thanks

If Dave had released his game today it would shoot right into the top charts.

Yeah, but how would you know that it would be for his talent or just because he is famous? Selling junk to people who are ready to bow to you isn't exactly my idea of a very moral person, even less to admire. It's more like exploiting them, it's kind of a very serious debate on the influencers these days, specially from places like Instagram where there have been a few real scams and real shady influencers and deals.
