"Yes, he talks about John Deere, or medical devices, but he never talks about HP, Lenovo, Dell, Surface, Acer, or any PC manufacturer flaws, many of which have flaws worse than Apple's. This is what makes him look dishonest because laptop repair is his specialty - he should be awesome at detecting or pointing out how they have problems too, but he caters to the PC crowd and says nothing." - gjsman-1000 [1]
"He won't. He knows his crowd, and he keeps quiet about criticizing his crowd's products." - gjsman-1000 [2]
"Alright, so today we're going to be taking a look at the new Surface and by taking a look at I mean watching somebody else's YouTube video on the new Surface because hell if I'm going to be walking in to buy one of these pieces of crap." - Louis Rossman [3]
Rossman's video continues for a half hour to bash the Surface Laptop's lack of repair-ability and general poor design...
