2020-04-11 · My New Favourite Laptop - MacBook Air 2020 Review — recommendation: Ali: For the first time since 2012, Ali's answer to "what laptop should I get?" is "just get a MacBook Air"; for eight years he could not say it because of the 12-inch MacBook and the butterfly keyboards. — 00:01:54
- If you cannot afford £1,200, Ali suggests a cheaper Windows laptop that does basically the same; a MacBook Air is for those who like macOS and have other Apple devices. — 00:11:09
2020-04-17 · Answering your Questions — Ali: Apple has not sponsored Ali; he does not think Apple does sponsorships and has never seen a video sponsored by Apple. — 00:17:02
2020-05-05 · My Favourite Mac Apps · What's on my MacBook Pro? — Ali never replies to iMessages from his phone when at his desk; replying from the Mac is one of the main reasons he loves the Apple ecosystem. — 00:16:33

2020-05-15 · Apple Fanboy Reacts to Microsoft Surface Go 2 — Ali: The budget iPad is much faster than the Surface Go 2, Ali says: Apple devices are far better optimised for speed, and against the charge of overpaying for specs he says specs don't matter, the user experience does. — 00:11:52
2020-07-06 · How To Find Opportunities EVERYWHERE — Ali draws "return on luck" from Jim Collins's Great by Choice: great companies such as Apple got about as many lucky breaks as their rivals but capitalised on them better. — 00:06:16
2020-10-11 (said on 2020-10-08, implied) · How to Invest for Beginners — Ali: Basically all of Ali's investments are in the S&P 500, so about 6.5% of them are in Apple, 5.5% in Microsoft and 4.7% in Amazon. — 00:12:22

2020-12-01 · Tough Choice - M1 Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro — Ali says that when he asked on a call, Apple's marketing team told him the vast majority of people will be fine with the M1 MacBook Air; only peak workloads kept up for many hours a day show a difference. — 00:01:27

- Ali says anyone with an iPhone or another Apple device who listens to a lot of podcasts or audiobooks should definitely get the AirPods. — 00:06:33
2019-02-18 · iPad Pro Smart Keyboard Folio Review - My favourite typing experience of all time — Ali: With the Smart Keyboard Folio, Ali says, the iPad Pro turns from a device for browsing, Netflix and the Apple Pencil into almost a laptop replacement. — 00:04:20
2019-04-23 · Which iPad should you buy - Analysis of iPad Pro vs iPad Air vs iPad Mini vs iPad — Ali: Apple's origami Smart Keyboard attaches to the iPad Air and semi-easily turns it into almost a laptop replacement; Ali likes typing on it. — 00:08:15

- For anyone on a tight budget who wants an iPhone, Ali calls the iPhone 8, at 469, a really solid option: it lacks the ultra wide lens and portrait mode but gets you into the Apple ecosystem. — 00:10:23
2019-11-06 ·  iPhone 11 & 11 Pro - Review — Ali says Apple does a fantastic job of showcasing the triple camera in its iPhone 11 ads, making it the obvious status symbol to look out for. — 00:11:03

2018

2018-05-29 · Live Stream - Hangout — Ali was anti-Apple until he could afford it, seeing no point in a £1,500 MacBook when Windows gave the same specs for under half; after his mother gave him a MacBook Air at university, he found its user experience worth the price, at least when Windows was not that good, and premium Apple products worth it for him. — 00:24:39

2018-07-23 · A year on YouTube - Channel / life update — announcement: Ali wants to tie education in with tech after his iPad note-taking video did well, maybe with videos on the productivity apps he uses on his iPhone, iPad and MacBook; he calls himself a big Apple fanboy. (hedged) — 00:04:00
2018-10-25 · iPhone XS Max Review - Is it worth it? — Ali likes that the iPhone XS Max has no home button: swiping up from the bottom feels a very natural way to use a phone, and he thinks dropping the physical button a good direction for Apple. — 00:00:56
2018-11-01 · My Favourite iPhone XS Apps — Ali: Spotify is Ali's music app: though fully an Apple fanboy with three HomePods, he hates Apple Music, having tried to switch to it twice and hated its user experience each time, and thinks Spotify a better product. — 00:12:03
2018-11-19 · iPad Pro 2018 Review - Should you buy it? — Ali: Talking about money is impolite, Ali says, but when Apple asks people to spend upwards of 1,000 pounds on an iPad Pro, it has to be discussed candidly. — 00:08:16
