Review Dave Lee
The toxic relationship between Dave and the table 😍

@@GhostSlayerYT seriously? Troll alert
@@GhostSlayerYT Bad joke. Report the troll.
Manglorian?
@@GhostSlayerYT if you say that the facts , test and real World experience are wrong, then you are a follower of a apple hater and didn't known anything about tech , watch some crappy video and write a comment on a genuine video thinking the video you watched if write. It could also be a friend or relative that told you that. But don't say that the facts are wrong. i3 , Seriously ? You have old news , if you said this for a older Macbook like 2016 to 2020 first half , it will be true. But now it's just a apple haters thing that they say for , "Apple is just bad"
And yes if someone say that they are saying wrong, they say he is apple fanboys. But anyone with basic tech knowledge will never say anything like this. You can't say that a dog says meow , and after then when someone says that "dog does not say meow" they say that they are cat lover.
You are amoung that 0.001 population.
Watched for the iMac, leaving with new interior design skills.
Right? Every space Dave is in looks like it's out of an HGTV show.
bro i feel like dave wouldve been an excellent interior designer if he didn't pursue computer/tech related field

Minimalism….
Dave2d x Excessorize Me video?? Would be fire
The polarising view on how Dave and Marque perceived white bazel never cease to impress me lol
What?
@@xxGravyBabyxx Marques hate white bazel, Dave love white bazel, Marques think Apple intentionally limit iPad software suite to protect their Mac lineup, Dave think iPad hardware bump meant they will finally become Mac 2-in-1 etc.
who does the job better in your opinion? Who's the better reviewer?
@@mudassarraza6448 I think Dave's a better reviewer - he's specific and relatively more technical
Marq is more easier to understand though and can have a more interesting angle (especially for general usage)
I really like it honestly, also I have a white desk
Finally, a reviewer that appreciates the white bezels. I was never a fan of white bezels until i saw this iMac and how it definitely looks a lot better in a living-room/kitchen space instead of an office.
You use imac in the kitchen?
@@kahirisepakang I know right do they build a set up room just to work in the kitchen amount of cope these people got is unreal
@@kahirisepakang yeah. For cooking recipes and stuff. Better than bringing out the laptop
I like this way of presenting. Feels like we're sitting down together and just having a chat.
same
I like it as well, it's very warm and personal. Hope he keeps it!
I noticed that after reading your comment, I can explain why I want to rewatch the video, I didn't miss anything, but this is like a very satisfying experience, very warm, not the visuals but the tone, his delivery you know?
@@father4732 SAME
@@father4732 The table creates distance. You on one side, Dave on the other. It's like we're at a meeting in the office. This feels more like we're sitting in the lounge room just talking about tech.
I really like the way Dave presented this. The table isn't between Dave and the camera, but he's still showcasing the product.
Yes better this way
It's like a salesman showing his product to a customer, I like it.
it's really good composition
@@littledgy4316 More like interview with the tech itself
@@droiddevx03 dont be rude bruh
Who else would love to have Dave do a house tour? I think his house looks great and pleasing. ☺️
it seems very bruce wayne and suburbia all at once
you came here for IT content. why do you want to go into mans personal space? You should not care how his house looks.
@@dbsa8681 wtf
@@dbsa8681 youtubers become personalities, it's a common demand. Don't see the harm in asking. It's also in his right not to do a house tour if he think it's too off topic or invasive

Good take on the white bezels, I think you nailed it
Here before you get famous.

Damn Dave lives lavishly 2:39
I don’t know why people are hating the white bezels. Even a professional like Tyler Stalman approves the newer design.
Dave, omg! That camera placement and direct communication with the audience from a chair is amazing. Feels like a TV show! Go on with this approach, please
Gay
So this is where all the so called "save the earth and reduce plastic goes to"
Homogenous
Weirdo
these replies are so fucking dumb lmfao, i agree this setup looks realllly clean, hopefully he sticks with this style from some vids but still experiments with other things so he doesn’t get bored
Guys, it's happening. Our guy is actually sitting *BIG NEWS*
Or is he?
You never see a chair. He is probably squatting with on one leg with his other leg above it.

This is my third review video I’ve watched for the iMac. What made this one by far the best:
* Showed the MagSafe connector magic pins in the thumbnail
* Called out a study that black bezels help make you (a tiny amount) more efficient despite preferring white
* Great close-ups on cables, the ultra-thin edge, feet
* Excellent overview of the box and all accessories
* Cinebench numbers front and center for previous years’ machine
Love how you actually review all the small details really thoroughly. Many reviewers once they reach a certain size start to gloss over much of these important small points
damn this guy's house is so clean and white. I would be scared to even step in it if I ever got the opportunity lol
Its a studio, just for videos
@@knownasezio4421 2:45
@@knownasezio4421 it reminds me of the bat cave in the dark knight
Yeah, even John Abraham has an ultra-minimal house. This will probably drive me crazy
@@knownasezio4421 He's talking about when he showed his house.
This setup…Dave is chilling with viewers. So welcoming.
So great to see you in your new space, Dave. I've been watching for years and seeing you sitting down with a confident veneer in this new space, and what it all represents from a creativity POV, is super super super exciting. Congrats :)
I absolutely love how confident and comfortable Dave looks while he's sitting and showing off the machine, it makes me forget every past benchmark and sets a new one right here
gayyyy
@@MagnumSized for Dave, any day
@@sarwathazarika3857uummm .........
@@MagnumSized yup
How dave feels about his desk is exactly how i feel about my ex, we both wanna be done with it and move on but we just fucking can't
Lol
The desk is Dave's ex, confirmed
cringe
Moving on is pretty easy if both of you are not sexually deprived
@@psansu2 loneliness can be tough too, sometimes you just want a hug
I just need to take a moment and mention something I don't think Dave gets enough credit for: I just love that he wastes no time getting to the point of his videos. In a time when it feels like 80% of video content is wasting my time, this is one of the few channels where that never happens. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
Always loved your approach towards reviewing. Very calm, composed, and of course no nonsense.
✌
MKBHD: "I'm probably the wrong person to ask, I like all black bezels all the time"
Dave2D: "I'm probably the wrong person to ask, I use white laptops and love white bezels."
*WHO SHOULD I ASK THEN, HUH??? SNAZZYLABS???*
lol grey bezels
Have your own opinion? Lol
@@cz2301 yes, obviously. The joke went over your head
I like white bezels. My first iPad had that. Unfortunately iPad Pro only has black bezels but it's not that big of a deal
😂
that mouse charging upside down rather than letting you actually use it while it's charging is the perfect example of form over function
Too bad the form is wrong too. Magic mouse is ugly to go with being unusable.
that apple magic mouse has been a meme for years because of how it charges.
Not even formed great, that shit will mess up your hand
@@biolinkstudios yes! Ever since I started using work from my company my hands hurts, its too small and too flat ill rather use a bigger mouse that is more comfortable to use
Steve Jobs would hate this surrender to Style over Wow Factor
Great video Dave, You're probably right that it is designed to be a versatile machine that fits into any home decor. I feel that the extra bezel space/chin at the bottom is perfect for sticking post-it notes.
Liking the new angle and the layout of your studio now. Much better thanks for taking the feedback. Still a little too gray in the background but now that you and the products occupy most of the frame, it looks much better.
Your communication skill is impeccable!!! The only time music was played was during the intro and outro. Not even a second was I bored throughout the 10 min video. So concise and clean delivery. Love this video!
i agree he makes some of the best tech videos
I have to say Dave's house is really interesting how the walls, staircase and a part of the shelves look modern yet the cornices and kitchen are more classic
I noticed that as well. I kind of like it. The modern yet classic aesthetic. Really diggin the staircase.
Oh I thought this studio was somewhere separate, because when he started here he was talking about his house and then condo where he used to film were all separate places 🤔
@@franz0705 It is separate. I think the commenter was just talking about the scene where he shows his house.
AESTHETIC
You are seriously my favorite tech reviewer. Always gives your honest opinion and I 100% trust every review you give. Thank you so much!
The product design department: “you sure you want to make the logo bigger”
That “This is for the best plebs” impression, always appreciate your open-mindedness
Your pfp has a similar theme to Dave’s iMac 😂
I really like Dave’s new studio. I think his decision to ditch the desk setup also gives him the opportunity to be more flexible when it comes to choosing the position of the camera for shooting reviews. Dave looks happier now too.
I like his posture. Idk why. Maybe because there's a leg on the frame instead of a desk
@@Ahfeku l e g
I liked his old set up better. Like he had to sit cross legged all the way through this video so his crotch wasn’t prominent in the frame. Sort of looks awkward to me.
@@disarchitected yeah he looks awkward & uncomfortable to me. Definitely don’t agree with most people preferring this setup. Old one was better aesthetically but if he prefers this then I can’t blame him
I think he is still figuring it out.
He is probably a reviewer in all life aspects. 😆
As usual... your review are packed with good information and comparison with various tech from Mac... I actually watched from start to end :-)
Loving the new camera angle and setup! Well done Dave!
I liked this desk and sitting setup. Very relaxed, feels like a confident, chill teacher presenting to the class.
Exactly
I miss that too
The excitement of what new table/no table setup Dave comes up with doesn't get old😂
of the videos in your new studio i've seen so far, I like this side-by-side setup the best. I think it's more engaging that both the viewer and dave are both seeing the machine from the (roughly) the same angle.
Out of so many reviews I watched on TH-cam this is the very best one yet thank you
As a person who likes white bezels, the choice of choosing this video amongst the others was an easy one. I know just where to come.
@@hunsinger yeah bro exactly
@@hunsinger Yes same the white bezels make me feel uncomfortable
meow meow meow meow
@@hunsinger For me, it feels nostalgic to see computers with white bezels and it doesn't really bother me. Though i don't like phones with pretty thick bezels.
Same
This video's starting is so NEAT, Dave sitting beside the table with the products. The previous few videos he's still adjusting to the new studio, dk how to come into the front. I love how he is sitted today! 💙
Legends says he is still standing
I only recently started watching your videos and so far every single video that I've watched has been excellent. 👍
I love your new studio, the rough look and the lights looks awesome. The computer looks like a iPad Pro (the big one) with the side extended to fit more electronics, and with a stand glued to the back.
I love how you are trying out different types of settings in your new studio. And I'm glad you have finally gotten a place of your own for your videos
Finally, a TH-camr with good taste in aesthetics. No irrational obsession of matte black, no love for RGB, just clean and bright setups
I know what you did there
The bottom bezel is ugly.
Change my mind
Dave is obsessed with Teal but I love how aesthetic his setup is. RGBs are crap.
Exactly!
@TT matte black everything
i love your review videos! best ones I've came across.
Really liked how you shot this with the table on the side. New studio looks great!
I love seeing the iterations of your camera/desk placement with each video.
Haha I love the solution you decided to adopt; it gives very chill vibes with you sitting, products are well presented, and it preserves the nice camera framing that makes the office's aesthetics stand out. Love it, it definitely speaks Dave2D to me.
Impressed with your presentation. First reviewer that I have seen other that Marquise Brownlee that made the review easy to watch, easy to follow without out the unnecessary hand movement and over excited voice. You are now on my follow list.
Love the new video set up. Cheers from France !
Dave! The new camera setup is crisp as heck! Frames looks hella smooth and the video quality is super sharp! It was a treat to watch this on my LG C1.
I thought Dave would hold the iMac & do the review coz he hated tables 😂
Great review. I have a current 27 and I was hoping to replace it. Hopefully they bring out a “better” iMac this year as you say.
Appreciate your honesty on the performance. Great video.
DAVE should be a THERAPIST, his voice is just so calm!! isn't it?
😆😆
I can meditate on his voice
I think he is a doctor. He mentioned his career once in a previous video.
meow meow meow
@@zhiguowang1596 idts, just a guess judging from his skill in 3D rendering and ofc his interest in tech I think he does 3D modelling
I love this new style of setup ( how you present your review ) it's like, so relax/chill it's a nice change !
Apart from his colour biases, Dave is probably the only TH-camr who gives the most objective tech reviews. Love your work man ❤️ Also, low-key like your colour choices 💯
The most satisfying noise is the start logo with the fox on the gears! So pleasant!
The chin is for stickers so you wont forget your 2Do-list :)
Or you could just use notes app on the imac?
I liked Dave's point from another video. Make the device thicker and get rid of the chin, or shrink it at least.
@@saharsalimkazi506 who even checkes the notes app
So this is where all the so called "save the earth and reduce plastic goes to"

@@frankmartinez1656 :D
"accoutrement" - learnt a new word today. Thanks, Dave!
this is probably the best setup youve done. sorta like a host for a tv show where you sit down and have the product with you, but not the stereotypical tech reviewer sitting in front of a desk. looking forward to more videos that look like this!
Your videos are just so clean and straight to the point. I love your videos.
Omg thank you so much for changing the camera angle from one corner of the room.
Feels so better now :)
Great job in the new studio. Congratulations
Really perefectly done video brother dave
This is for the plebs!
For real
Eh. I think this is oriented at a general computer and not a work horse computer. This is something kids do homework on or parents make family videos on or pay bills, or maybe a receptionist desk. I wouldn’t work on this, but I can see who it’s for. Apple marketed this device towards families and not professionals.
Is this your first time ever hearing about Apple?
Yes jezuz
@@dlonicholas aka for the plebs
This sitting looks like Dave is hosting a talk show with the M1 has a guest, neat.
Right? And I love it lol
You are so great, I just love your reviews.
I have anxiety when I see him putting the imac onto the edge of that small desk and talks while moving his wrists, seems like he would drop it anytime…
hahahha
Well he's not linus so i don't see that's gonna happen 🙃
He aint linus lol
I have anxiety of seeing the possibility that his hand will accidentally move upwards, tilt the chin, and then that imac fell :D
@@mainakmajumder4648 Why? What did Linus do?
Dave understands his viewers very well and that's one of the thing's I like about him
His viewers for sure but not so much the customers to whom this iMac is for.
Mine is coming Friday. Going from a 2016 MBP to this M1 iMac. I can’t wait!!
awesome stuff Dave!! nice setup
Dave: "I don't want to sit in videos anymore"
A few videos later: *Dave sits*
Me: 👁👄👁
I mean, he was standing
he had a standing desk ,
most of the time he was standing ....
Actually he's floating
Wait did he mention sitting? I thought he was just contemplating the desk? 🤔
Dave, I'd love to see you thinking of new ways and perspectives to present the products. But I gotta say this framing is so great and it feels like the right way to do.
i love the new design of imac, its eye-catching and easy to see, and also very iconic
Love the new set-up!
IPS: has +-178 degrees of viewing angle
Dave: “yeah it’s an IPS display it’s not that good what do you expect”
Someone haven’t used a TN panel in a long time I see
That's the multi millionaire reviewer goggles talking for sure
Nobody who isn't a gamer has used a TN panel for the last half of the decade, so this isn't exclusive to Dave.
@@OmnipotentO What do you mean?
he was probably comparing it to an oled display.
lcd's are a technology of the past. IPS just suck compared to oled, and anything high end should have oled in it.
Gotta love Dave bringing the desk back!
Appreciate the captions!
Loved the review. Still makes me think of the Jomez Pro video with that outro music theme.
First video in your new space where you've nailed it! (composition wise)
MKBHD: The new display is sooo reflective.
Dave: It has an anti reflective coating on it.
😄
Great video as always
Now this is what you call a review. Dave just nailed it.... Best ever
I thought the background was a green screen until I saw his house. Now, I’m not to sure. 😂
it´s not, he made a video about it recently (some sort of studio)
This is how Dave has to sit for all videos going forward
So refreshing to hear someone that likes the white bezels. I think they look really good with the color options of the iMac, better than black bezels would have done. Great video!
Particularly good review, really enjoyed😊
This is the best set so far you've done. I love how personal it feels
Dave, it looks like you gained a lot more self-confidence in the new studio :) You found your voice! That is amazing!
Hell yeah dude, I haven’t watched a video in a while and seeing this, the difference is clear. He looks happier
Always enjoy listening to what you say.
Thanks. Getting the green to match my iPhone Mini and iPad Air! Love it! I will say that your comparison at the end was not fair though. These are the 24 inch entry level models and you were comparing it to a top of the line 27 inch Intel iMac. Wait until the new 30 inch iMacs with the M1X come out, it will trounce the older iMac in everything including GPU performance.
Embargo: Finishes
Choose Between: Marques Brownlee, Dave2D And Other TH-camrs
Me: Nervously Sweating*
Easy decision: Dave2D
i was thinking like this 😂
I saw the thumbnail and I was like.. Not Blue?
not the tiffany gay blue? lol
Green is a Dave2D color!
Wasn't teal enough lol
Dave, really like your reviews.
Dave, your thumbnails are great!
05:35 “viewing angles are limited when it comes to ips stuff….” TN left the chat…
and no one is going to use that angle to work anyway
@@NinPossible I just remember back in the days when IPS panels started to replace TN panels, they were praised to have superb viewing angles -178 to 178
@@chekiechen yes I heard that too. They didn't do that now?
@@NinPossible They still do. It's just something new (OLED, Mini LED) came that makes IPS pale in comparison.
@@chekiechen got cha
They should have focussed on tne front instead of the back. Most of the backs will be facing the wall anyways. Remove the white or 'light grey' bezels and underchin. Add normal colors.
And add user upgradable RAM and SSD. It may need to become slightly thicker but that's fine it is a desktop after all.
lovin' the new studio!
1:27 "the color match apple stickers, those were very important"
well noted dave!
8:54 This comparison is insane - a chip that draws less than 1/10th of the power of 5700 XY is already achieving almost half the performance is mind blowing and shows how formidable M1 is 🤯
