the promo video did look like he was avoiding the side of his cg hand touching the screen, but yeah, i was dubious of the claims from the outset, that would be exceptionally weak.

They're single handedly responsible for (essentially) gouging the entirety of consumer electronics prices for 15 years.

I'd not mind if they were good, or at the least not obnoxious, but their general approach of we're American therefore we are the best and can lead from behind is frankly offensive to the entire rest if the industry and tbh, I'll be happy when they hit the anti-trust suits, tax bills and basically any measure if scrutiny which doesn't fall prey to American exceptionalism.

for anything under 2 grand this is p much true since most people never even bother adjusting picture settings after it comes out of the box

if you care about pq and are willing to fiddle with it but don't want to spend 2 grand get a $700-1200 sony or samsung

The nexus 4 and 5 are superior to the same-year iphone models in every way and cost like half as much

But laptops, yeah, you want something good you get a ThinkPad and it ends up being a similar price as the mac but without all the headaches of a linux os and having incompatible ports, er uh, port(s) i guess
