Video Description

Hello everyone! In this video, I share my detailed opinions and thoughts on using a 2020 MacBook Pro 5 years later. Watch to find out if they're still a worthwhile laptop for the money, or if you should find something a bit different. I'm not normally an Apple user, so this video may come as a shock or appear a little unusual. However, I still wanted to give the laptop a decent shot and therefore tried to prevent this skewing my views. I hope you find this video entertaining alongside potentially helpful! If you have any questions or suggestions, you're more than welcome to leave them in the comments below. Thank you all so much for over 6,000 subscribers - I genuinely appreciate it greatly. I love making videos for you all and plan to make each one better in one way or another. Waffle's Channel: https://youtube.com/@wafflebell Take care! Email: [email protected] Discord: @oliverstech
