How I review

I use it until I know it

01

Check the claims

I verify that everything a company says is true, and I look for the shortcomings they don’t mention.

02

Side by side

I test every feature and compare it with the stuff it competes with, so you know where the value is.

03

Find the limits

I take things apart, swap in different NVMe drives, and run the same displays and docks on more than one Mac.

Adam smiling at his desk

Hi, I’m Adam.

What people tell me

“I only caught the deal because I tuned into the last five minutes of your launch day stream when you read a comment about Micro Center’s pricing, which saved me a five-hour drive.”

Robert, in an email after buying an M5 Max Mac Studio

“I came across your videos like today and absolutely love the deep dives and comparisons across all the generations; to my surprise, no one else is doing it as thoroughly.”

Sher, email

“Loved your video for someone like me who is not a tech person!”

Debby, email

“I’ve been insane over this choice. I have no Mac friends so the internet it has been. … Again I really appreciate that you answered me!”

Erin, email

“You answered my question. I have a m4 Pro Macbook been used as a desktop. Now I’ll leave it in bag and have the Mini on the desk.”
