      There was no analysis. It was just an ad wrapped up in "Hey now most laptops are light and thin since 2012! Here are the specs of the sponsor laptop. Why? No point, but it's written in the contract"

      Which is a good thing, right? It's like "If you hadn't paid me to talk about your product, I would've used another. But since you are, might as well talk about it." The laptop itself is ancillary at most

    I still have my first Ultrabook, I picked it up in 2012 at Costco, a HP 4-1043cl. I absolutely love this laptop, thin and light. Backlit keyboard, Core i5 3rd gen, HDMI and webcam. And it's super easy to open the bottom up for upgrading. I replaced the hybrid hard drive with a Samsung SSD 512gb, the RAM I boosted from 6gb to 12gb and I replaced the Wifi for 2.4/5gz. And all on the cheap, none of those components were expensive.

    Marques I’ve been watching you since we were literally both kids. You’ve been an inspiration to me, and helped turn tech reviews into their own genre here on RUclips. You *are* tech RUclips. We watch you because we trust you, because you know what you’re talking about, and because you’re one of us. Please don’t let the pushback from us get to you, but please do take into account how we feel. Personally I feel that the title did not indicate that your video would just be an ad for a specific product. I felt that you would be looking at the Ultrabook category as a whole. Instead we got this. It feels like a bait and switch, and it’s unexpected coming from you. Don’t let it bring you down though. ✌️

    The software behind the trackpoint pushed it far beyond the trackpad in the early years when you had to either get used to insane sensitivity or sliding your finger across multiple times to get across the screen, nowadays acceleration is better and some materials are easier to slide across smoothly (my fingers tend to stick and rub instead of slide) so that's why the nipple became so popular, and even though I don't need a laptop currently, I'm so glad it's still around in case I get a job that would make use of a laptop.

    One of the best use case for the trackpoint is when you use your laptop laying down. Because it allows you to bring the laptop closer to your face whilst your browse the internet. However if you use the trackpad you are forced to move the laptop away to get space in front of you to use the trackpad.

    You spent the whole video talking about ultrabooks as a marketing term without acknowledging the EVO certification, which is clearly a 2021 replacement for the ultrabook branding.

      @ well, that's something I get. A macbook is not a Windows device. We are also not comparing specs of a windows laptop with an macbook, because the macbook would suck. But EVO is literally the new ultrabook standard.

    I came in expecting some thoughtful discussion and left feeling like I got tricked into watching an ad. I didn't expect that from this channel.

      @@Amar_Indo007 Just because there's a sponsor doesn't mean that millions of people don't have respect for what Marques has to say. When he titles a video "Why everything is an Ultrabook", even if there's a sponsor, we expect a higher level discussion not "Lenovo ThinkPad review: my thoughts". If you seem think both titles mean the same thing then you don't know how to read.

    • @User-cb4jm
      @User-cb4jm 3 года назад +11

      Exactly this, I thought I was the only one who felt this way as Marques does good meta level discussion videos from time to time and this title leads you to believe its one of those. I think I'll go back to Dave2D for laptops and Mrwhosetheboss for smartphones as they each also have a lot to contribute in terms of meta level discussion. That's what separates a great tech channel from ones that mindlessly pump out reviews for individual models like CNET. Even then something like The Verge has an element of discussion despite being a larger company.
