Accuses Dave2D of being an Apple defender because of an early review unit.
YouTube comment on Dave2DCommunity
Complains of $3000 price with no earphones, charger, or case included.
YouTube comment on SAMTIMECommunity
Seems like it'll be a huge hit, but asks how many years behind competitors Apple is.
Hacker NewsCommunity
Complains the A$3,500 price is too high and questions Apple's products generally.
