I want to buy a new laptop that would match all the features. I required one review that really influenced my decision. It was about the MacBook. I was a video on YouTube from a famous blogger who often gives honest feedback or technology. At first I hesitated because the MacBook is quite expensive but after watching the review I was convinced that it was worth the investment. This video was very long but he talked about all the benefits and drawbacks of this device. One of the most important factors for me was RAM.
