      Hey Dave, Thank You!
      I have been waiting for this video since the launch of Realme Book slim in Indian market.
      And it looks a very good device for the price.
      Then a few days later Xiaomi comes up with their "Mi notebook Pro" to compete with Realme Book.
      And Mi notebook Pro has an H series processor, anti reflective screen, better keyboard but Realme Book has better speakers and better design.
      So, I request you to please check out Mi notebook Pro as well and try compare these two in terms of design, build quality and other stuffs.
      It will make buying decision so easy for us.
      Please please please 🙏🏻

That was a bit irritating and seems odd given that I'm sure majority of your viewership is based in North America.

    So back in February of this year, I ended up getting an open-box M1 Macbook Air (base model) for $650 US ($720 w/tax) from Best Buy. I couldn't understand how or why it went that low at the time (customer service said the demand for the silver colorway was low) but I had to get it! Was still in great overall condition too! It's harder to get one as of now since Best Buy is running a back to school sale on them, but if you can find an open-box M1 Macbook for around that price, please go for it! You will not be disappointed and it's the best computing purchase I've ever made! But in all honesty, I would definitely consider this Realme Book Slim as well. For the price, this is a great deal!

      However on the software front......I know you could run a virtual machine or do something else to get Linux or Windows on a Mac. But its not it. Macs have a lot of restrictions. Some games don't run on it. You need to carry a dongle around for everything. I like Apple products, but never been a fan of the closed Apple ecosystem. So I'd never buy an Apple device.

      If it's so good, you can tweak the design for zero cost to make it stand out a bit. Whenever such a product gets its own character it pulls the perception of the manufacturer's way higher. This is the building of the brand. It could be sth as small as a neat detail literally anything. I own a Mac Pro and I find this design bit boring. It's not changed, still over and over again the same thing. For years if not close to a decade now.

The screen has the rubber edge, the bezel is 2-3 times thinner than a macbook air/13"pro, the bottom is different (more like an XPS), the fingerprint is in a different place, the hinge goes all the way back. The keyboard is similar but its not exactly the same, it looks like any other windows laptop keyboard, its just the black on aluminum that makes it the same. Yes, the inspiration from the macbook is definitely there, but how original can you get with an all aluminum chasis. The design works to keep the device thin and it just doesn't have any flare other than the logo. Even the corners are less rounded than the macbook's. I think it holds its own. Its just a good looking budget laptop from what I saw in the video.

      Huawei and Realme laptops are made from a same Taiwanese ODM called "Pegatron" (formerly part of ASUS), which used to make MacBooks before Apple discovered they were abusing workers to an extreme degree, even employing children to work overtime for less than local minimum wages. Protesting workers were publicly beaten and silenced by the Chinese police, this was only last November 2020. The maltreatment likely still goes on today under the radar of lax Chinese policy and "overwork until death to survive" culture over there. Which is partially why these laptops all resemble the MacBook, and also why they can afford to sell overseas for so little value. I would NEVER buy them out of principle.

I know that laptops have a very limited design range but making a laptop this similar to other one raises questions . I might be totally wrong , but I think they might have pulled out used macbook pro's screen and chassis and just fit their own components inside of it and that's how they managed to cut its cost.

      I doubt they use used macbook parts. Designing the product, including rnd alone cost a lot, which realme saved just by copying apple's design. There are also factors like production cost, some parts depending on shape and quality of material, or other factors will cost more to produce, that's why they couldn't make it look entirely the same. Besides the design they copy from mac isnt simply the outer look of it like the keyboard and the whole aluminum body, I'm assuming even the interface and all is also copied, even the inside looks alike with the 2 fans and how the heat sink connects to both fans like that, and the battery compartment at the bottom. The single battery pack design is similar to the older macbook pro where it has a part plastic casing that allows it to be screwed down. All these design take a lot of resources. As he mentioned he battery probably didnt last longer despite having the same spec, most likely because of the software than the hardware difference, those software requires a ton of rnd to reach the kind of efficiency mac has.

    This is nice for the money but right now (Sep 2021) Costco has a sale on a 14 inch HP laptop with a quad core 8 thread i3-1125g4 proc, 8 GB of RAM, 1080p IPS screen, backlit keyboard, 256 GB NVMe SSD, and fingerprint reader, that gets about 10 hours of battery life. Thing is going for 399 bucks. That's the best deal right now in the laptop world IMHO.

    a few things I do not give a shit about computers:
    - Hinge being able to open with 1 hand
    - premium packaging
    - thickness
    - weight
    - anything above 60hz on a laptop screen
    I am glad that we are seeing thicker macbooks nowadays.

    Thank you for this! Do you think you will do a 2021 laptop review guide for artists/creatives in the upcoming months?
