So this is basically a matte screen protector branded Apple which is $50 on Amazon, but $500 at Apple pre-install.
you scared me again
Loved the video... honest and to the point... anyone giving this a negative review is related to the company or been paid by the company to give a thumbs down...
me thinking about *suspects* but it's sus... my brain is going to crazy 2:01
Next video: Playing Minecraft 1.17 snapshot on Mac OS 9.2
If I had to guess, probably not a “prototype” per se, but more of a first printing kind of thing. It looks like it was laser etched, or just etched in general, before they said “nah, we want to use this material” and went with black. I’ve seen this before where there’s not a model change, just a super insignificant change to the product. For instance, the original SIXAXIS for PS3 was a very dark, but translucent plastic (the console used it too!) Later models with the same model number used opaque black. Super insignificant, so I doubt anyone really cared or noticed.
@Computer Clan alternatively, this could just be a “demo model” used specifically for display. I’d be curious to know when the ads were run as well, as this may lead to a bit more info. Either way, I’d say that it definitely would be prototype or “not final design” demo purposes. Still curious to see what the internals define it as, as well as what is stamped on the stand itself.
@Computer Clan touché. I would be curious to know if it even has a model number. Could you contact the person who had that thiccMac and have them snap a pic of the stand?
Possibly. But if it’s not a retail unit, wouldn’t it be a prototype of sorts? Especially with how THICC this model is?
Great Review. Just one thing, the Gen 1 version is 8x40 not 10x40 so even there the scam is on. I bought one of these thinking (probably like a fool) that I could get 40x60 because that was what it said on the ad. I waited over 2 months for the delivery and then got this thing. Admittedly it's not a bad little 8x40 but that's not what i thought i was buying! They gave me 30% discount because of the delay in delivery really quickly and offered another 20% more when I queried the performance but this seems to be par for the course for complaints (take a look in Trustpilot). Personally I'd never pay £37.99 (+£6.95 delivery) for an 8x10 scope in the first place if i'd have known as this is 'toy' territory. I also had no way of knowing which generation i was buying. So be warned. Starscope is an dubious company at best.....AVOID !
He might be published by some kind of accident but it was actually a prototype... I swear this might have changed for years.
Could be a happy coincidence. That they used that logo in the commercial so it wouldn't reflect the camera. I miss these commercials.
nice
Damn great work how did u find that it’s such a small detail
I think it's one of those things Steve Jobs changed at the last few moments before mass production. Like when Steve didn't like how plastic screens felt on the iPhone and then quickly changed it to glass a few weeks before selling the device.
I had a dream where I found a 17" iMac at a garage sale that looked like one of the newer iMacs and it seemed like it was a prototype.
Put a white Apple sticker on front Aluminium iMac and watch the community reaction.
Nodes...
Hey ken make sure they don't deliver you those god awful P9 headphones from AliExpress
I have an eMac 1.42 model, from I think 2006, that I maxed out at 2 GB of RAM (Yes it can take 2), and I wanted to try an SSD setup for shits and giggles, but I assume capacitor failure recently killed it, as it died one day about 2 months ago. I hope to fix it some day, but am unsure what parts I need. I don't want to take it to several pieces and lose them waiting on new caps. Also, yes, decent speakers. Collab with ElectroBOOM is needed as well.
i got a rangextd ad before the video plays its the same ad that krazy ken showed in the video lol
Did you use a cross cable?
Nice job - excellent analysis
??? it runs amazingly on my 2009 Mac mini, and that system doesn’t even support my Mac!
Come on. Thats too short. Don't be such a tease.
Do they make ProPods Pro?
Pretty bummed about boot camp.
The black apple definitely meshed together better with the aluminum than the grey one did. They made the right call. Wish they wouldn't of gotten rid of it on the 2021 iMacs though, the front looks naked (along with that skinny neck stand)
I was kind of expecting more it was odd seeing this very short episode but fun
Great video as always, Ken!
if you ever make a video on the new ipad pro, try taping it to the pro stand for a "cheaper" version of the pro display xdr.
Good job...the new iMacs are hideous
Can u watch DOLBY VISION Movies on iPhone PRO MAX in Dolby Vision? Like Netflix and purchased DV movies from itunes store?
I know you're probably never going to read this but I just wanna say that I genuinely believe that you have the best tech related channel on IDdown! Thank you for always pushing out great Videos with all of the effort in them.
Is it an led like the macbooks from that era?
Steve Jobs was right, now we are addicted to apps. (That man was really wise)

Just ask the guy how he got his hands on em!
Simple rule...whenever practical, run wired connections. 1Gb ethernet is cheap and usually easy, and will always outperform a WiFi repeater/mesh. Lower latency, more reliable, and throughput will (almost) always be faster. It can’t make your internet connection any faster than you’re provider allows, but it won’t slow it down, so it may result in faster real-world results. This applies not only to desktop/laptop computers, but to game consoles, streaming media devices, etc. use WiFi when wired is impossible or impractical.
now that you said it i didnt even notice the imac logo was gray lol
Bro can you make a video about the prototyp Mac
Apple press release: Apple is now announcing the new iMac. The new iMac have a Apple designed pro hinge which can be restated and adjusted in the way you wanted. The iMac with separate screen will starts at 2000USD and the iMac with a connected display using Apple pro hinge will cost 3000USD.
At $99 I would recommend going and getting a repeater that is made by a bigger company. I had one for years from the same company that made my router, and it worked fairly well. It wasn't as fast as the normal WiFi, but for boosting the connect ability of the router to another room it worked wonders.
the only channel with 25-min videos that i can enjoy and concentrate lmfao
I saw a similar ad to this with less ridiculous claims and thought it might not be a scam, but yikes that is quite the scam
Looks like your in the whiner phase of IDdown, where your audience becomes entitled and turns against you for your perceived lack of hard work.
Hardly : p This is just the appetizer episode. A full-length scam-buster comes out on Friday.
Sosumi has been renamed to Sonumi.
Hey Ken, I thought I'd let you know you're pretty cool

Hi everyone I brought one last year I still haven't heard anything. I set email to them and I am waiting on response. These guys respond to me from this website. They said my order is delayed waiting on shipment. Litsolar Info <[email protected]>
1:29 looks like they stuck an apple sticker on the front. Doesnt look part of the machine.
The stickers have a transparent plastic outline. That's not present here, so it's built-in to the machine. Also, note how thick that iMac is. It's way thicker than the retail release. It's a prototype.
Yep I got scammed on it and to make it even worse I bought three of them not knowing thinking I was taking advantage of a good deal to buy them for a couple extras for a friend and family member If you purchased it get your money back immediately or at least try to if you can. It's a total b******* product 100% a scam
This computer probably has been built by priests in mine, it can swipe all data in seconds, welcomes you howdy and its cheap to destory when has to

Interesting. This is reminding me of what I believe were Pro Display XDR prototypes shown at an Apple press event back in 2019, which lacked Apple branding on the back.
Really? What event was that?
macOS HS is the macOS of Windows Vista
It's funny how Apple ran a Mac vs PC ad champaign when a Mac IS a PC...
I've been waiting for 2 months now, still no sign of it.
LOL that thing is a complete bait and switch scam...... What a piece of shit.
You are talking shit. The Blaux A.C. is brilliant. I am just a member of the public with no interest in the company but this A.C. is FANTASTIC
I bought three of them and they fantastic. The A/c is small but very effective. this video is a load of crap
