YongFook gets his MacBook Air [3 min. youtube]
This post was deleted for the following reason: This is some jackass taking a laptop out of a box. This is not a metafilter post. -- cortex
I want my 3:03 back.
What am I missing here? A guy opens a box is 'best of the web'?

I quite expected it to break or FAIL in some epic way. This is just an ad.

This isn't even a review, it's an unboxing. And not even a good unboxing.

The only thing that could have saved it would have been an accidental fumble and drop. It didn't happen, ergo, what the fuck is this doing on the frontpage of metafilter?

There's a man on a horse galloping across my giant-ass projection television screen right now. There's a chorus singing an unintelligible but slightly forward moving and vaguely familiar piece, backed by strings. Ennio Morricone should've sued this late 60's film right out of existence, but at the time he was too busy pillaging every hole he could find in a slew of teenage streetwalkers - both female and male. He had other things on his mind.
But back to the man on the horse: I'm finding myself wishing I were that man on that horse - not the actor in the 60's Spanish countryside, but the man the actor represented. A free spirit, roaming the old west in search of something. I'm not sure what that something would end up being, but it sure as shit wouldn't be the sight of some asshole opening up a box containing his newest high tech doodad. I'd just happened upon that bastard and he's caught me on a less than good day. No, I'd drag that fucker from the back of my horse for wasting other's precious time, and when all's through, he'd be wishing he was dead. He'd struggle to the edge of a nearby cliff - and I'd let him - so that he could toss his sorry body over and into the moghty Colorado below. I let him get just as far as the edge, where he collapses. I put my boot down on the back of his head and laugh. He laughs a little, too, so I cut out his tounge and quickly toss it over the side, where a bird of prey catches it in mid-flight and we watch as he makes a quick lunch of it.
I won't bother you with what happens next. There're more interesting posts on this here site, and this one really doesn't warrant a full conclusion. I will say that it doesn't end up pretty, it doesnd up neat. His mother will almost certainly cry when she sees the news, and then again a bit later when she receives the photos I've sent her of the incident.
I never do find what i was searching for. Prostitutes? It might've been prostitutes.

A single link to a video of the unboxing of a laptop, narrated by a man who has a serious fetish for new brand name technology.
Lacks any sort of insight into the product.
Serves as nothing more than fanboy propaganda.
Disgusting.
Absolutely worthless.
Seriously.

First I thought, "oh, there's something else in the box."
No... "oh, god, he's going to cut himself with the knife, that's why this movie is here."
No...... "well there's obviously something else in the black box... that's why it's heavier than he expected. It's a big pile of lead. Someone went to a lot of trouble."
Nope. "Maybe he won't be able to get it open!" Not that either. "Aha, it doesn't turn on, I bet. Look, it's taking forever! Ominous silence! It doesn't work, ahaha -- oh, it does."
What the hell, panamax. I am disappointed.
