      gamechaser002 that they are apparently, remember how Intel was defensive on its use of its use of thermal paste over solder, it’s going to produce micro fractures and all that other rubbish. I guess that logic changes when in order to get a chip to run without exotic cooling at decent clocks, solders back. Looking forward to seeing what 8th gen coffee lake with two cores stuck on can do when you take what should have been a i7 9700K and rebrand it as an i9 9900K because marketing thinks you can milk your customers better that way.

    • @gamechaser002

      [shrugs] All that's really left is to see what the things will cost. They may be plotted at directly threatening an R7 2700X, but not if they're going to cost more....

    • @backupplan6058
      @backupplan6058 6 лет назад +2

      gamechaser002, as long as as Intel continues to use monolithic die designs they are unlikely to get close on price to AMD. 8700k launched at around $380, 2700X $330 including cooler. Intel didn’t go ahead and give it a higher name without having a higher cost to go with it. Plus the extra processes added to the cost by going soldered. I’m looking forward to the price too, may be interesting to see how low Intel will go to compete or if they are just going to use the word “gaming” so many times to justify the cost. Problem for Intel it is not just going to be competing with 2700x, 2800x is still rumoured and with intel’s generation cycles it will have to go up against 7nm Zen2 which from GF engineers could reach 5ghz as well as the IPC improvement in the architecture with possibly a 12 or 16 core variant in the main Ryzen lineup. Intel is sinking and clocks are the only thing keeping them on top.

    • @dycedargselderbrother5353
      @dycedargselderbrother5353 6 лет назад

      What will be interesting is whether the 9000-series maintains prices throughout its lifespan. It has become almost unheard of for Intel to discount products beyond some token amount like $15. The higher end chips can probably continue to command a premium as long as they have the absolute best clocks, but the mid-end is vulnerable vs. AMD parts that will have similar clocks and cores but probably lower prices. For AMD, 7 nm doesn't just represent a process shrink, it also means they're using TSMC rather than GloFlo, at least at first. Intel has to be hoping that Zen won't scale as well as we think it will (chiplets).

      I hope they haven't paired the T2 or NAND chips to the board, because you may be able to move them to a "donor recovery" system to get the data off. This is one shit show of a product cycle...

    I have a 2018 Macbook pro and after seeing your water cooled Macbook video i have been playing with the idea of trying to cool my Macbook Pro so it can perform longer at fast speeds. My first idea was to try to force more air though, that proved to be more difficult than expected. Now i am debating putting some thermal pads on top of the cpu heat sink to transfer some heat to the case, then put a thin heat sink on the bottom of the computer. Let me know your thoughts. I already have taller rubber feet on my computer to allow a little more air flow and also a bit of room if i decide to add a heatsink.

    This is a good video. It brought up points I didn't know other manufacturers had thermal problems (prob because i'm kinda a normie). I personally think Apple need to make the MacBook Pros a bit thicker. Not a ton thicker, like 2012-2015 thick (Which is not a lot). I mean, there wasn't really any major problems (that I know of at least) with the older ones. The keyboards worked, and at least the ssd was modular. I had to upgrade in 2017 because my older one which was my daily driver at the time broke, and after thinking I got the 2015 instead of the 2017. I did this because it was cheaper, more useful (had built in usb a, no dongles), about the same specs, and had MagSafe. Anyways, just my opinion.

    When these MacBook pros were announced in October 2016, I was watching the keynote with my checkbook open. I had a 27" iMac, a MacBook Pro, and an iPhone (and had owned almost every version of the iPhone since waiting in line on launch day for the first iPhone), and was excited about finally replacing my aging but awesome MacBook Pro. (I'm a developer and a power user.) Flash forward to today.... I have a custom Windows desktop, an Asus laptop, and a Samsung phone. For me, this device was the signal that Apple had lost touch with it's power users.
    At the same time - Microsoft under Nadella started showing true technology leadership, and Linux Subsystem for Windows made all of my work possible on a Windows laptop for the first time. I transitioned slowly at first, and then realized everything was fine with Windows.
    Apple is now a consumer-brand more than ever. I mourn for the loss, because I loved the experience of Apple products during the "golden years", but they've been making some bad decisions in the last 5-or-so years, and IMO they've lost their touch.

    But yea, my opinion to this is, if manufacturers use high performance components, at least use cooling that can keep the temps optimal for best operation and durability of the components even if you compromise on the thickness of the device.
    This is why I went with the GT Line of MSI laptops instead of the much thinner GS/GE/GP or whatever they have.
    Have a max temp of 80°C with no thermal throttling and cool and comfortable temperatures around the keyboard area, perfect for longer gaming sessions.
    Sorry if that almost sound like I’m advertising MSI here but I’m just talking about the experience I made because I always hear people talk about their notebook thermal throttling when they chosed one with a thin design.

      It's not the worst expensive product on the market, though I get your point. I think they need to reengineer their cooling, as well as upgrade the GPU by at least one tier, and maybe stop using AMD's shit. Nvidia's cards are much more efficient, I've found. (two systems, with similar performance, i3 8100, 8GB RAM, GTX 1060 6GB > same system except with RX580.) The RX580 got lower FPS in most of the games that I play, while drawing more power (I think it was about 40w, which is not super significant, but it's AMD's highest end non Vega card, vs a no longer current NVidia mid tier GPU)
      If you want a shitty product, go take a look at the iMac Pro (I would assume you already have though)

    The only reason I want a MBP is because my boss pays for it; and it runs OSX. If it were my own money I would want the Dell XPS because you get more hardware for just over half the price (but with a 4k screen and a wider ports selection). Apple used to have MARKETING at the 2nd place in their list of priorities, TECH came first. The first amazing touch screens, the first amazing fingerprint reader, the whole iPod lineup was magnificent and changed the world for MP3's.
    But now? The touch bar that nobody really needs? It's more of a hindrance. And it costs us a lot of money. Crappy key switches shouldn't pass quality control. MagSafe was AMAZING and everybody loved it and they removed it... for USB-C... so they can sell dongles... to make the marketing staff happy.
    Apple is out of touch, it's as simple as that. Appeasing the investors and forgetting their clients. The SECOND Microsoft makes W10 have a reliable UI and makes it work effortlessly with a Unix subsystem I'll switch without ever looking back. I'm a programmer and I hate the Windows environment for developing software, but I really really want OUT of the Apple ecosystem. The iPhones are ridiculously expensive too nowadays, unless I opt for a "cheap" version which is still more expensive (in price alone) than most Android flagships... And remember the fingerprint ID thing that Apple did amazingly well? Just like the MagSafe: Everybody loved it! So they removed that on the iPhone X because now they want to reduce the user experience again for who knows what reason.
    I'm in the minority I guess. But they're going to meet their end in a couple of years if they stop innovating and continue overpricing their products. The Indian and Chinese and Korean companies are already there, ready to take over. And I want them to. If Dell can make a better specced XPS laptop for about half the price of an Apple MBP, then I'm just wondering what some Indian company could whip up. Bring it on, I say. I'm done with Apple and my iPhone 7 is my last iPhone.

A real shame they took those put of production. I have had the same Satellite for around 5 years. Apple computers are usually obsolete in that time but my Tosh keeps going no matter what i throw at it.

      MagSafe was great, but I find it really funny that there are people that love to rant about Apple using proprietary connectors, and now that they've switched to USB-C, people are moaning about the loss of the proprietary connectors.
      USB-C is absolutely the future. If you can't see why it's 100% consistent with well over a decade of Apple history to transition over fully and remove all legacy ports, there's probably not much I can say to show you why it's the case. They want people to see a Mac and marvel at how clean a design it is only needing one port type for every type of wired connection. The third-party Apple accessory market is absolutely massive, and the only way to force a drastic redesign of existing products is to eliminate the legacy connection. They want the USB-C dream, where that single connector can be used to connect anything and everything. To charge, to connect a display, to attach wired peripherals or external storage. No fiddling trying to find the right connector, or looking for that specific cable for the device you want, you can just plug it into whatever port you want.
      Yes, this is actually the same reason why they went and pulled the headphone jack from the iPhone. Apple wants their ecosystem moving towards as few cables and ports as possible. Cables are relics of the past, universal connectors with USB-C are a necessary evil until the time comes when wireless tech advances to the point where they can comfortably eliminate those as well. When the iPhone 7 was released, the market for wireless headphones was abysmally small, and manufacturers were almost universally ignoring it because nobody wanted them. So what do you do if you want to get those manufacturers to get off their asses and start producing the products you want to see? Well, you take away the port and suddenly they've got millions and millions of iPhone owners hungry for new, better wireless headphones.

    my how times change... Today is a far cry from the past. In 2000, I spent $4000 on hardware, software, and accessories, on a tricked out Blue and White G3. I was able to upgrade the CPU twice, once to a 1 GHz G3, and again to a similarly clocked G4. I initially had 128 MB of RAM, but was able to max out it's RAM to 1 GB... Not much by todays standards, but back then, not bad. I had a 12 GB hard drive, that I upgraded to 120 GB, then I eventually added four 250 GB drives, using a PCI expansion card and some custom mounting hardware. Eventually, I replaced one of those with a 750 GB drive. I swapped the modem with a serial module, so I could use my old TI graph link cable, and chip programmer cables. It was a nice, expandable computer, with an easy open chassis, and I loved it.
    The last Mac I bought was the G5. I bought it at a bad time. Apple had already made the transition to Intel, and it was all I could afford. I quickly saw how rapidly they dropped support for the Power PC equipped models, and I was stuck in a stagnant doldrums for years. The economy took a downturn and I simply couldn't afford a new computer anymore. I suffered and struggled on that out of date, obsolete, and unloved machine till 2013. I was seeing new income. It was time to buy a new machine. I was actually impressed with some of the 2010 and on Mac Pros, and hoped to get a used one when the used prices came down, after their 2013 Pro was announced... And then we learned it was rubbish... A literal trash bin. Those old expandable 2010s never dropped in price, cause they were too sought after.
    It was by my luck that the Hackintosh scene had developed much simpler to use tools, and the process was decidedly easier. I ended up building a 3770K based Quad core i7 Hackintosh. It had 18 TB of storage, all migrated over from my G5. It had 16 GB of RAM, and by reusing parts, salvaging, and buying new only what I needed to, I spent a measly $630 to get it up and running! I couldn't have settled on a Mac Mini for that price! I soon spent $50 on a used Radeon HD 5770, and later some $400 on a GTX 980ti. I doubled my RAM, maxing out at 32 GB. I've since upped my storage to over 23 TB, with 1.24 TB of space bing across a pair of SSDs, one for Mac OS, and one for Windows. I'd like to upgrade my core system soon. A new CPU, mobo, and RAM will do wonders, though the hardware, despite being 5 years old, is still holding it's own.
    Until Apple changes it's ways... and it's not gonna... I won't buy from them again. Apple has lost their way.

    The perfect "PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE" laptop. Since SSDs have a limited lifetime either by usage hours or data written. Also Apple will not sell you the motherboard if yours dies, but your motherboard in this case also contains your Hard Drive, what could be considered a liability in some companies, so if your Ram fails, a sensor fails, the CPU fails, the USB ports fail, the battery connector fails, the motherboard warps because the I9 is running at 98 degrees under load, your company data is going to go to Apple untouched just because you can not remove your hard drive? and they are going to keep it in order to replace your board? This is too much of a problem for a lot of companies that take security and privacy seriously, I have seen them physically destroy Hard drives and SSDs before even disposing of a laptop or a tower, those drives will never leave the company.

    Ultra slim laptops will NEVER be able to perform as well as a laptop with a little more room for a full-featured cooling solution. The whole idea that EVERYTHING should be thinner is nonsense. A "pro" product ought to focus on performance and connectivity, NOT being the thinnest or lightest solution. As the owner of a 2016 MacBook Pro I was DISAPPOINTED with my purchase in terms of practicality and performance (truthfully I was ripped off and should have just spent around half the money on a modestly-specced ASUS gaming laptop). The 2007 MacBook Pro I used before was a clear example of what a professional product should have been in its day (hideously hot running tendencies and reputation for GPU failures *glares at NVidia* aside)... For a ~£1500 starting price a discrete GPU shouldn't be in question. The i9 edition should be built in an updated version of the 2008-on chassis complete with not only the Thunderbolt 3 ports but ALSO including the basics such as at least 2x USB 3.1 'A' ports and an Ethernet socket. It should also go without saying that a product in this price range should also be repairable. Apple have been design-led for years, however 5 years on from the introduction of the "trash can" Mac Pro it is apparent that the same company who brought us products such as the EXCELLENT pre-2013 Mac Pro and the XServe has become so completely overrun with a form-over-function mentality that I'm less and less likely to continue to invest in Apple products.

Cubase has always been a perfectly good option but seems to be a very hard sell for a good number of people I work with (which if I’m honest is really the only thing stopping me from getting rid of the Mac). Next step is an eGPU and Bootcamp I think... hopefully that’ll go some way to making it a worthwhile purchase!

    I am an Apple user, I have always been a fan. But for the last couple of years, I completely disagree with their philosophy of every edition of a newer machine having to be much thinner instead of actually improving and upgrading the machine with adequate components and cooling. I mean my gosh, the 2012 or so version of the MacBook Pro WAS PLENTY THIN. I would much rather it be that size, and have plenty of cooling and be SSD and RAM upgradable. My dad bought a HP convertible (detachable) laptop where the screen comes off and all of the components are actually in the screen area which has NO FANS OR COOLING WHATSOEVER and from being left in his car for an hour or so in a briefcase the laptop completely fried the display and CPU. Absolutely ridiculous that was like $700-$800 professional use laptop... So it’s not just Apple. The whole thing is just silly. With the technology we have now these machines can only be so thin. Most people would agree that performance, cooling, reliability and upgradability is more important than size.

      You're supposed to have a coffee in starbucks in a meantime. It's a rule of hipsta.

      exactly, waste money on your computer and your average tasting overpriced coffee.

    Said it before and will say it again; a video on laptop undervolting would be really interesting! Really improved my experience with the Blade 2017 and could see it being something that might produce interesting results on this too!

    So apple has learned nothing from its iphone or older Mac pro generations. Chips burn out, repeated stress bends, graphics card temperature problems. The same old problems returning and now they are cutting off known good solutions like the data recovery port. This forces people to replace their technology, sue or as said in the video go to a tech store willing to work on the board. The last one is less of an option given the novelty of the design and prospective shortage of donor boards and chip availability.

      And according to apple if you get third party repairs you turn the mac into a pc

      Alex C You can't learn anything without making mistakes. And by that I mean, blame their incredibly ignorant customers who despite all the horrible flaws in their products, keep buying Apple because they think it's prestigious or whatever. It's dumb, and for the same reason people buy overpriced clothes just because it says "Supreme" on them.

    I'm due for a new MacBook Pro but I have decided to wait until 2020 to see if Apple listen to its customer and come out with a computer that is worthy of its cost and its origin.

      If they don’t meet your tastes, I’d say you should switch, and give Windows a try (Linux as well)

      Apparently a new 16-inch MBP will be out in the next year or two. Let's hope they beef it up a bit and ditch that problematic butterfly keyboard. The ultra-thin display ribbon cables are problematic, too. And the only way to fix either is complete replacement.
      Unfortunately, this trend in electronics is not new; it's been evident since the late 1980s. Before then, if your computer or disk drive or TV broke, you could actually get it fixed. Has anyone here ever heard of aligning a disc drive? Or replacing a picture tube? Not very recently, because since the 90s the philosophy has been that if the thing breaks, you just buy a new one. It's the same with car engines-if your head gasket goes, it's almost cheaper to buy a new motor.
      This being a trend of long standing, it's not surprising that companies are making products that are literally unrepairable.

      I desperately needed a new Macbook Pro in 2018 so I went with a decent spec MBP'18 like in this video, and I'm not unhappy but DAMN am I looking forward to getting either the current (new) 16" or whatever next iteration of the 16" is. They really fixed a lot of shit that has been subpar on MacBook Pros for a couple of years.

    Look, I don't care if my ram is soldered onto the logic board, in a laptop with that formfactor, i feel like the device wont be supported at all anymore by the time you need more than 32gb of ram, but a soldered on ssd seems somewhat stupid, that makes data recovery so much more difficult when your drive is literally stuck to a device that may not be functioning anymore!

    They've been designing computers this way for three decades. The Apple 3 had no cooling, so the board would warp and the chips would pop out of their sockets. Apple's tech support fix? "Have you tried dropping it?"
    I don't understand why people buy Apple products.

      People are saying Apple is going downhill because Jobs died. But the irony is, Steve Jobs himself is 100% to blame for that horrible design on the Apple 3.

    • @lasarith2

      The Garden of Eatin if I remember Jobs hated Fans ~ (the fan noise) so the old macs had huge Heatsinks just so you wouldn’t hear fans with you’re Mac .

    • @griffin8062

      Steve jobs hated fans. That's why the G4 Cube overheated.

    • @praetorxyn
      @praetorxyn 6 лет назад

      Fans aren't a bad thing, fans running higher than 800 RPM, I hate them too. That's why I am building the most overkill water cooling system I've ever done just so I can have 3+ timed the fans I need and run them at

    Do you guys recommend the i5, 8gb ram MacBook Pro? I’m just using it mainly for logic x & school. I have a 2011 that works fine but it’s not very fun carrying it everywhere. Is the upgrade worth it?
