Rickesh Patel so im getting limited ports (which means ill also have to invest in dongles), a mediocre graphics card (the 960m outperforms it), a big clunky trackpad (seriously, there was no need to go this big as the old one was perfect imo), a crappy keyboard that you have no choice but to get used to, worse battery life than the previous gen macbooks e.t.c But hey, at least you get the fast storage right?
why would you do that over and over again and why not show least optimized software on the product so users can make an informed decision. Instead this creates a illusion that every software runs like final cut pro on mac. A review should let the users decide they need to give a honest perceptive on pros and cons. With MacBook pro I don't think youtube is the right place to look for a review. Looks like most youtubers are locked into Mac ecosystem and they have nowhere else to go for hardware other Apple and It is essential for their work case and will be masked by that to professionally judge it for other use cases
Arul and even at that this thing don't even seem that great. I don't see how needing to carry 4 different adapters. This is how Apple gets away with this. Everyone's like "yeah you only get 2 ports but just buy this adapter and you get the features that you missed out on". I don't know what kind of professional this thing is aimed at but I just don't see it as a convenient computer. Everything he's saying in this video is like "this don't work here but if I use this program that I don't really like it works" it's just BS good on Apple for conning people.
Kingjay814 Apple is supporting their software first, its up to other companies to do the same then. Its called 3rd party for a reason... as far as the ports go they made room for a better keyboard and speakers and the bigger trackpad while still having the option for dongles which aren't that bad. If your going to hate atleast point out actually issues and not just opinions.
Apple supporting its own software is well and good but the performance should be good for every software. Microsoft doesn't get that benefit with reviewers do they? Microsoft gets crucified if a third party app doesn't work.
NeedsMoreChina haha, I'm an Apple developer, and have owned Macs for about 6 years now. I have to use a Mac to get my work done. Apple's just been getting crazy ridiculous with their prices lately. It was pretty ridiculous to start, haha, but now it's just unbelievable. Just weird.
The reason apple is doing so well is that they have a loyal consumer base of sheep with more money than brains, they are excellent at marketing mediocre products for a high price tag.
what i enjoy about all these videos (to be honest i recently started watching a couple of weeks ago) is that these reviews are genuine. like u known him for a while. very simple and entertaining to watch. great in depth review for the mac btw
Everyones complaining about the new MacBooks but it's Apple's highest selling MacBook Pro ever and has outsold every major windows laptop of 2016 and has sold 4x as many units as Surface Book, 9x Asus Chromebook flip, and 10x Lenovo Yoga 900. P.S these stats are from Nov 9 lol imagine what they are now
The statistics you're referring to were provided by one group "@sliceintel" (who everybody seems to regurgitate but never ever explain as to who or what they are) which seems to get their data from an IOS and Android app from their 4.4 million subscribers under the guise of "Slice - Automatic Package Tracker." Now this is pretty genius because nowhere on their app store does it say that your receipts are being scanned and aggregated to sell to third party services for consumer spending habit data. I'm sure they've got some generic "your data is our data" disclaimer, but that's another story. Now, the question is how reliable is this data? I'd never heard of the app until I looked up @sliceintel (I'm an android user) so I assumed it would be heavily skewed toward IOS/Apple users. It doesn't appear that I'm able to view overall downloads of an IOS app, so we'll go by review numbers. IOS; about 8000 reviews, Android 15.4k (1MM-5MM downloads). So, in an effort to prove to myself that my not investing in AAPL stock was smart, thinking that these sales would be horrible.. well, I pretty much stuck my head up my own ass and they're probably way better than anyone expected if @slice has 2-4x the amount of Android users who I assumed would be less likely to jump on Apple products over IOS users. But then here I am an android user with a MBPr.
Wouldn't the sales be because this is the first re-design, or notable change (Retina screen), since 2012? It's the reason I want to replace my 2012 MBP.
Man, I just found your channel now, and I'm glad I did. You've got the smoothest speaking voice I've ever heard. Thanks for the review, too. I ordered one of these a couple weeks ago and I'm still waiting for it to get here, so it's nice to see what other people think of it.
Imo, Apple failed with this new 16' Mac Pro. I'm not fond of using the track pad and would hate to rest my palms on it and cause problems. Also, having to get adapters and dongles is straight BS!
Man I've been a desktop user for 22 years and was anti laptop since. From visiting the Apple Store and Best Buy a few times and watching the pros and cons I absolutely love this machine! No problem mon!
Thisath Ranawaka lol his surprise response showing favortism indicating he seen someone that looked like the black guy who probably robbed him of his lunch money. Get a clue.
I actually think that the star of the show here was the monitor. It is really cool to have a laptop and then when you go home and try to use it as a desktop to have to plug only one cable in it! This thing can charge your laptop, carry signal and be a USB hub (to hook up your mouse/keyboard, external storage, speakers, etc) using only one cable! WOW!
Apple Executives: What should we do to make the MacBook great again? Consumers: touch display, legacy ports, lower price. Apple Executives: okay touch bar, no legacy ports, and higher price! give us money!
Hi,I love your videos and the fact that you highlighted all the shortcomings about the new Macbook. Notice I didn't say Pro because it's not a Pro in my opinion because without dongles it doesn't cater to the true professional whereas Macbook Pros of the past did that straight out of the box. Plus with the unjustified price hike and the fact that you have to buy and carry around all these expensive dongles has honestly made me love my 2013 MacBook Pro even more. To put it in perspective my 2013 MacBook Pro fully specced out to the max was around £1650, today if I fully spec out the new Macbook it will cost me £2199! And then I have to spend a few hundred more bucks to buy all those dongles, not to mention I then have to buy 2 more adapters to charge my iPhone 7 and use my earpods on the Mac. I honestly hand on heart could not recommend this to anyone, not yet anyway.
Hey UAC! Great video as always! Could we get a Surface Book review next and possibly a head to head? It would be great for us deciding between the two. Thanks!
Will be interesting to see if Apple lowers the price on the 2017 models... These things are in a price range of their own when you start to upgrade them with better processor, storage and RAM...
They might go down but how i look at it is a Flagship Model. You see this with Headphones, ones that can cost Thousands of Dollars and then ones of a similar design that only cost a few Hundred. I mean if your a professional editor or something like that the price justifies itself like if your a professional Audio Engineer, your going to want the best and money becomes less of an issue, specially if your count it as a business expense. An Average Consumer should still look at buying the 2015 models that basically do everything the same at half the price. A couple major differences yes but thats the price difference.
Problem is, no sane, well informed "professional editor" or "audio engineer" would get a macbook pro unless there's some software on osx which they absolutely NEED, and even then I'd get one of the previous models. the 2016 versions are absolute shite. Apple is incredible at marketing mediocre products as premium products, giving them a premium price tag too, it's simply not worth the money in this day and age with so many different, much cheaper options available.
Bashir Wada I prefer Macs for their optimised Software and Speeds. Plenty of tests out there showing MacBooks out preforming other Laptops that are almost double the specs and using dup files for the tests, with both preferred and none preferred programs and Apple comes out of top a lot of the time.
***** Optimisation only does so much, it isn't some magic technique, I'd like to see your $4300 macbook pro outperforming a laptop with a gtx 1080 and a i7 6700 which costs $1400 and outperforms it in any real world tests and editing or whatever you want.
Bashir Wada I paid 2500 for my 2015 model and you say 1080 and i7 but i just explained to another guy that just because you have 32gb of RAM and a 2TB HHD doesn't mean your PC is better. 1080s are good but i still think any computer be it Apple or Windows, if its set up right can easily out preform higher specs that aren't.
A touchscreen on a traditional laptop form is somewhat silly and awkward to use. They would need to create a true 360* convertible with Pen functionality to make it worth it.
How can designers use it? I'm not a designer but i want and predict the whole bottom zone will be a trackpad in the future, where you can draw with a stylus or something... Sure, they have to fix the palm resting issue.
*Your RUclips channel is just AWESOME! It’s so amazing that the channel name is so related to your channel! I’m getting a MacBook Pro tomorrow, and this video just helped me out a ton! Thanks! Keep up the good work!*
They made the damn trackpad so big why not just stick a flipping iPad screen in there with a 3d touch sensor so you can actually use it instead of buying an external pad like Wacom. Maybe their Apple Pencil will actually sell better. I know I know, "WHO WOULD PUT A TOUCHSCREEN SO FAR DOWN TO DIVERT YOUR EYES FROM THE SCREEN" Well, Apple would. It's called the touchbar. It's in what I call the "no-look" zone. Nobody looks at the keyboard when typing, or at least that's the idea for productivity and the whole invention of keyboard shortcuts.
i will give u the answer.. because apple is no more about Pro market anymore. The Starbucks market is way bigger, and ladies that use touch bar use them mostly like from the top.. because of the nails. so they don't have problem with accid. touching it :D
Ethan M alt-k I'm not talking about that. Is a very old computer. It must be from like 2008 or 09. Maybe even older. It was around when netbooks became popular. It was only released in Japan.
Just bought the 2015 one. The 2016 version really has nothing that makes you wanna switch. Touchbar is a nice idea but I rather have the haptic of real keys.
Although I don't there are so many people that don't like the new MBP, apple's reasons for making it like this actually makes sense and maybe the price is too high at the moment but it's a solid good laptop. Some people say the specs of it isn't that good but lets not forgot that mac OS doesn't necessarily need an intense amount of specs unless you do hardcore stuff like video editing but other than that, its smooth. Plus I'm down for the USB type C cause if you remember, MKBHD also said it's gonna take over the all types of connection (USB 3.0 ,Micro USB , HDMI, Charging, etc) which makes it simpler, cleaner and better for user experience cause now you don't necessarily need the official charger and you can charge at any thunderbolt output which is better. Again maybe the price is really high, but also it's an investment as time passes by, other types of wired connections will slowly perish so the dongle life is for now (unless you use old hardware then you don't need the new MBP and can get the old ones which are really good) and later on you won't need dongles cause all you will have is USB C.
Abdalrahim Abdullah You are completely right, I agree with you. Can't wait to see all devices having usb C. Maybe apple should put 2 of them in the next macbook upgrade..
The change to usb type c is going to take a few YEARS at least, 3 minimum, I bet my life on it, apple is doing this simply out of greed. The macbook pro simply has too many cons to even be called a "premium" product, calling it mediocre would even be an exaggeration, I wouldn't pay $700 for the thing, but as I keep saying, apple is great at marketing mediocre products as premium products to their loyal, ignorant fanboys.
I just love the way that you manage your time. and. your life, its like everything organized I see your videos more. apply something from you. in my life style. thanks. for exist bro!
Mag safe is gone, but you can charge it from either the left or the right hand side so the cable doesn't get damaged having to twist it into the charging port. Its a trade off, and as someone who owns an older macbook as well as the new macbook pro, I'd say they're both just as good as a charging feature.
Kevin Hodgson until you trip over the cord, it will either damage the computer or the cord, possibly both, also you have to buy other adapters just to do basic things
the destroyer TBH I've never really cared about magsafe all that much. Whenever Ive had a latpop without magsafe, I just unplug the charger if I'm need to move the laptop, its not that big a deal, even though it is nice to have. Also, adapters aren't expensive, I bought one for £10 that has a pair of USBs and a HDMI and thats pretty much everything I'll need whilst having more USB C ports left over for other stuff. These points are just nitpicks, minor inconveniences at the worst. The other improvements of this mac more than make up for its other tradeoffs.
Thanks, that was a great video. I've watched a few other reviews... yours hits on points I haven't seen anywhere else. I especially appreciate the trackpad mention, the clarity on the keyboard, and the time you spent explaining the touch bar. Again, not seen elsewhere. I'm still undecided on whether to buy... my 2012 machine could probably hold out a little longer... but I might bow to temptation in the end. Again, thanks for the thorough, clear review.
I generally use my middle finger for movement on the trackpad, and using the index for clicking. I've suggested the same for most new users and they seem to feel it works well.
PUC DAT BITS Final Cut Pro x is 500$ but you get a 30 day free trial. iMovie is either free if you got it recently or 14.99$ if you want to know you go to the App Store and see if iMovie says free or 14.99$
PixPig that wasn't an insult. I am going to be a Software Developer and you develop things with your developer's mindset and the consumer sees it entirely different. If you switch the way you think about something, it is funny. This is why puns are kinda funny. ;)
Thisath Ranawaka Gestures. Makes Multi-Finger Gestures easier and also things like Zoom. I bet you don't know half the stuff the trackpad can do on a MacBook.
***** Aaaaand, no. I probably know it better than you, I've been using Macs for way longer than you have judging by comments on other threads. Sorry. Either way, while I didn't particularly have a big issue with using the trackpad on the new MacBook Pro when I used it, gestures don't require such a huge space, the old one was actually big enough. It's simply too big. Contrary to what Apple (and you?) think, bigger isn't always better, as almost all the reviewers are complaining about that issue.
Man I agree with you. My biggest problem is the ridiculous large trackpad. Other than that it is pretty good. The USB, touchbar, etc are not that bothering.
Great review, but I really would have loved to have seen how well the built-in camera works in the LG 5K display, along with its built-in mic. Can you at least tell us if it is 1080p or 720p? Thanks.
This video was really cool to watch thanks for the video i'm defiantly subbing to this cannel and your macbook pro is looking really good dude keep it up!!!
What shaky camera are you using for your hand held? Wait until late december for this amazing eGPU for the 2016 Macbook Pro. That's why Apple went with thunderbolt 3. Laptop GPUs would never be as fast as desktop GPUs so why not just buy a desktop GPU for your Laptop. I can't wait. I'll let you guys know what it is after I order mine. I'd hate for this thing to be back ordered on me.
I have never had a MacBook Pro. So am I going to necessarily miss the ports or notice the changes. I got this for Christmas - should I take it back for the MacBook Pro 2015?
Thanks for your video. I'm waiting for my MacBook Pro. Want to use fcp x. Can you tell me about your workflow. Do you put your rushes on an external drive ? Which one ? Hdd, ssd ? Do you copy your rushes in fcp x library or have it just referenced ? I'm a newbie in this stuff and would like to begin the right way.
I think with the touch bar apple should add a little music icon when you listening to music off Apple Music or Spotify and then when you want to change songs with out going back to that application you could tap the little music icon an the touch bar and it would bring up all of your music library and a bit like the emojis but replacing emojis with album covers
I too have recently purchased the mac book pro 2016 without touch for my wife. I have taken the logitech mx master and wanted to know your opinion on the same
for more than $3000 (im guessing you got the high end one), this laptop should NOT have any cons. Hell, it should come with a butler!
khalimany $4300 for the fully loaded 15" Version
khalimany shitty specs too
keep in mind that a good chunk is for the fast SSD storage!
lol again that's with it having $1400, 2TB add on from 256GB -- of the fastest on the market SSD. Educate yourself on the specs first.
Rickesh Patel so im getting limited ports (which means ill also have to invest in dongles), a mediocre graphics card (the 960m outperforms it), a big clunky trackpad (seriously, there was no need to go this big as the old one was perfect imo), a crappy keyboard that you have no choice but to get used to, worse battery life than the previous gen macbooks e.t.c But hey, at least you get the fast storage right?
Basically its RUclipsR laptop. Every review I see is only with final cut pro
Thats probably because its the best optimised program for Apple.
why would you do that over and over again and why not show least optimized software on the product so users can make an informed decision. Instead this creates a illusion that every software runs like final cut pro on mac.
A review should let the users decide they need to give a honest perceptive on pros and cons. With MacBook pro I don't think youtube is the right place to look for a review.

Charlie Roth fuck off. Go get a job like everyone else. Don't beg for money because you're too lazy
Charlie Roth don't advertise on someone's else's video. That copy write.
Love this natural real approach to a review! 👍🏾
It's a great computer, but even compared to Apple's previous laptops, it's just too expensive...😔
Even compared to Apple's previous laptops, the previous laptops are better
You must be new to owning macs
in other words, it's trash.
NeedsMoreChina haha, I'm an Apple developer, and have owned Macs for about 6 years now. I have to use a Mac to get my work done. Apple's just been getting crazy ridiculous with their prices lately. It was pretty ridiculous to start, haha, but now it's just unbelievable. Just weird.
The reason apple is doing so well is that they have a loyal consumer base of sheep with more money than brains, they are excellent at marketing mediocre products for a high price tag.
I think the Touch Bar "falling asleep" isn't a design flaw but intentional to conserve battery life.
More to prevent burn in of the oled display...
Nice real life review !!! I love you videos and hope to get to your level of dopeness
your videos are good to :P
Average consumer can't afford this.
what i enjoy about all these videos (to be honest i recently started watching a couple of weeks ago) is that these reviews are genuine. like u known him for a while. very simple and entertaining to watch. great in depth review for the mac btw
+Wilfredo Perez Irizarry I appreciate that! Thanks!
Looking forward to more vids. Thanks from all of us

wow so damm noob, u should be check mac os market share u will like its only 1% and 95% comes through windows machine
Avesh Meena hmm 96%?? And lots of people make windows machines and no one apart from Apple makes macs...
well that's a stupid argument because fidget spinner outsells scientific books so from your perspective it must be better
More adapters and more cables to bring, life of a RUclipsr
Man, I just found your channel now, and I'm glad I did. You've got the smoothest speaking voice I've ever heard.
Thanks for the review, too. I ordered one of these a couple weeks ago and I'm still waiting for it to get here, so it's nice to see what other people think of it.
waiting for that 1440p option to process
+xXPsych0ticM0nkeyXx it's not in 4K yet?
not yet. 1080p max right now for me
UrAvgConsumer Same here, 1080p is shown as max.
Still not un 4k :(
woah went back to check my notifications and youtube got way more minimalist
Imo, Apple failed with this new 16' Mac Pro. I'm not fond of using the track pad and would hate to rest my palms on it and cause problems. Also, having to get adapters and dongles is straight BS!
RUclips just suggested your channel to me, love it! You've got me as a new subscriber 😄
On my old account I always watched your vids then I lost it and forgot but now I found u again 🙏🙏
I was waiting for you to press play on Dragon ball z but it never happened!!😂😂😢
Felix Esquivel lol same
Dragonball super!
Christian Gabrielsson yea I just rewatched it and I realized the animation good call tho
NK ッ the trunks ark was pretty good they are improving over the arcs
my question becomes if you strong enough to fight gods. Where do you go from there honestly? who can be stronger then an immortal god?
Man I've been a desktop user for 22 years and was anti laptop since. From visiting the Apple Store and Best Buy a few times and watching the pros and cons I absolutely love this machine! No problem mon!
You know, you look like a really nice and polite person mr.avgconsumer.
Commentator 76 something tells me you don't like black people in general.
Israel, he didn't say anything offensive, why do you say that?
Thisath Ranawaka lol his surprise response showing favortism indicating he seen someone that looked like the black guy who probably robbed him of his lunch money. Get a clue.
Israel Alvarado I don't see it that way lol. Has the comment changed then? I think you're jumping to conclusions there!
Why on earth did you feel the need to make soemthing completly non related to race... Yeno about race?
I actually think that the star of the show here was the monitor. It is really cool to have a laptop and then when you go home and try to use it as a desktop to have to plug only one cable in it! This thing can charge your laptop, carry signal and be a USB hub (to hook up your mouse/keyboard, external storage, speakers, etc) using only one cable! WOW!
no artist in his/her right mind would use a track pad to "do art stuff". we use a wacom tablet, not a track pad.
Very nice demo of how the bigger trackpad can be annoying! Thanks
Apple Executives: What should we do to make the MacBook great again?
Consumers: touch display, legacy ports, lower price.
Apple Executives: okay touch bar, no legacy ports, and higher price! give us money!
Toney M. lmao

I don't know a single Mac user that wants touch screen.
Me included.
Great video. Really enjoyed your fair, honest, unbiased review. One of the best I've watched.

Hi UrAVGConsumer, Love your vids.
+XTechTips thanks man. Really appreciate it!
UrAvgConsumer hey I love your videos
I like what your doing with this bro! ❤
when apple releases a touchscreen macbook, the world will end
....due to all the smudge marks causing people to have panic attacks...
A touchscreen on a traditional laptop form is somewhat silly and awkward to use. They would need to create a true 360* convertible with Pen functionality to make it worth it.
I am the person that would be having said panic attack... lol. +burns0100
If you want a labtop with a touch screen and pen get the Microsoft surface book. which also covert into s tablet.
The fingerprints would kill me first.
you have such a soothing voice. I can fall asleep listening to you talk
What is the thing on your wall????!!
at 0:07
thanks dude you're the best!
I would but it is too expensive I would rather save up to build a custom PC and after I finish that I might pick one up
Guru Rajesh where do you got that profile pic?
Really like the song choices on the background for your videos. Keep the good reviews going on.
Apple forcing us to adjust to their style and vision is quite annoying.
Not really... i mean its a small change.
burns0100 small, but very expensive.
Thisath Ranawaka Whats expensive about the subject? we aren't talking about the hardware itself but more so the features. Like the Trackpad and USB-C.
***** I was talking about the $200+ of dongles etc, you'd have to buy.
Thisath Ranawaka You can get them all for like $50...
I just bought mines yesterday lol and now im binge watching macbook pro vids 🙌🏽❤️😍
why is that track pad so big wow. big for no reason
It is massive but ive personally had no issues with it even tho i tend to rest my palm on it aswell
Andresss People complained about how small it was so apple made it bigger
Erlis Velasquez ok I see. I use my sisters Mac and I think is find but hey. everyone is different. thanks for letting me know.
Shalabi ok I see. and like he said some designers can make some good use of it.
How can designers use it? I'm not a designer but i want and predict the whole bottom zone will be a trackpad in the future, where you can draw with a stylus or something... Sure, they have to fix the palm resting issue.
*Your RUclips channel is just AWESOME! It’s so amazing that the channel name is so related to your channel! I’m getting a MacBook Pro tomorrow, and this video just helped me out a ton! Thanks! Keep up the good work!*
Great review.
+Tariq Stephens thanks!
Great video mate, real nice chilled yet informed way of filming. Keep it up!
is that your room? i kinda like that industrial cement style
Spawn223311 No it's a hotel
I was about to ask about those walls too :)
I swear I think he lives in the world of Halo lol
I think that's the LINE hotel in LA. I've been there once.
That was the best New Macbook Review. Most of the other youtubers don't show how using the MacBook really is in real life! Nice video!
They made the damn trackpad so big why not just stick a flipping iPad screen in there with a 3d touch sensor so you can actually use it instead of buying an external pad like Wacom. Maybe their Apple Pencil will actually sell better. I know I know, "WHO WOULD PUT A TOUCHSCREEN SO FAR DOWN TO DIVERT YOUR EYES FROM THE SCREEN" Well, Apple would. It's called the touchbar. It's in what I call the "no-look" zone. Nobody looks at the keyboard when typing, or at least that's the idea for productivity and the whole invention of keyboard shortcuts.
i will give u the answer.. because apple is no more about Pro market anymore. The Starbucks market is way bigger, and ladies that use touch bar use them mostly like from the top.. because of the nails. so they don't have problem with accid. touching it :D
There was a computer that had a touch screen as the track pad. I can't remember which brand but it was Japanese. It was pretty cool.
Yeah it's called the Razer Blade Pro
not japanese
Ethan M alt-k I'm not talking about that. Is a very old computer. It must be from like 2008 or 09. Maybe even older. It was around when netbooks became popular. It was only released in Japan.
Just bought the 2015 one. The 2016 version really has nothing that makes you wanna switch. Touchbar is a nice idea but I rather have the haptic of real keys.
Although I don't there are so many people that don't like the new MBP, apple's reasons for making it like this actually makes sense and maybe the price is too high at the moment but it's a solid good laptop. Some people say the specs of it isn't that good but lets not forgot that mac OS doesn't necessarily need an intense amount of specs unless you do hardcore stuff like video editing but other than that, its smooth.
Plus I'm down for the USB type C cause if you remember, MKBHD also said it's gonna take over the all types of connection (USB 3.0 ,Micro USB , HDMI, Charging, etc) which makes it simpler, cleaner and better for user experience cause now you don't necessarily need the official charger and you can charge at any thunderbolt output which is better.
Again maybe the price is really high, but also it's an investment as time passes by, other types of wired connections will slowly perish so the dongle life is for now (unless you use old hardware then you don't need the new MBP and can get the old ones which are really good) and later on you won't need dongles cause all you will have is USB C.
Abdalrahim Abdullah You are completely right, I agree with you. Can't wait to see all devices having usb C. Maybe apple should put 2 of them in the next macbook upgrade..
The change to usb type c is going to take a few YEARS at least, 3 minimum, I bet my life on it, apple is doing this simply out of greed.
The macbook pro simply has too many cons to even be called a "premium" product, calling it mediocre would even be an exaggeration, I wouldn't pay $700 for the thing, but as I keep saying, apple is great at marketing mediocre products as premium products to their loyal, ignorant fanboys.
Bashir Wada completely agree
I just love the way that you manage your time. and. your life, its like everything organized I see your videos more. apply something from you. in my life style. thanks. for exist bro!
you don't have to get used to it, you could just buy a different laptop and not settle
Keep up the good work I love the day in the lifes!
mag safe is gone, that isn't very good, 2015 macbook pro is actually better, the only thing that would be nice is touch ID and touch bar
Mag safe is gone, but you can charge it from either the left or the right hand side so the cable doesn't get damaged having to twist it into the charging port. Its a trade off, and as someone who owns an older macbook as well as the new macbook pro, I'd say they're both just as good as a charging feature.
Kevin Hodgson until you trip over the cord, it will either damage the computer or the cord, possibly both, also you have to buy other adapters just to do basic things
the destroyer TBH I've never really cared about magsafe all that much. Whenever Ive had a latpop without magsafe, I just unplug the charger if I'm need to move the laptop, its not that big a deal, even though it is nice to have. Also, adapters aren't expensive, I bought one for £10 that has a pair of USBs and a HDMI and thats pretty much everything I'll need whilst having more USB C ports left over for other stuff. These points are just nitpicks, minor inconveniences at the worst. The other improvements of this mac more than make up for its other tradeoffs.
well its just dumb, and not worth it after paying 4,000 for it
Kevin Hodgson hell no lol
Thanks, that was a great video. I've watched a few other reviews... yours hits on points I haven't seen anywhere else. I especially appreciate the trackpad mention, the clarity on the keyboard, and the time you spent explaining the touch bar. Again, not seen elsewhere. I'm still undecided on whether to buy... my 2012 machine could probably hold out a little longer... but I might bow to temptation in the end. Again, thanks for the thorough, clear review.
Does the trackpad work with the Apple Pencil? (like wacom graphic tablet)
Massimo Zeni would be a great idea. Like having a Wacom tablet built in
no
Jackson Fleming the new 13 inch with out touch bar is the MacBook Air replacement I think
apple owns a patent to this, i hope they bring it to life
Massimo Zeni I wish it did though, would be a very great feature
just found this video in suggestions and saw it was a tech channel, im into these kinds of videos, you've got a new subscriber
For £3000 I'd expect at least a dongle included
Finally, an unbiased review of the MacBook Pro!
you should do a week with the Razer blade pro
The reason media controls on the touch bar don't work on some videos (e.g. on crunchyroll) is because they use flash instead of HTML elements.
But do you really respond?
+Nick Namor yep!
I'm glad I bought the MacBook Air 2015. Has everything you need as a student
waaaaait, what kind of artist uses a trackpad? maybe if it came with a stylus, but no.
loved the lights behind him in the starting
is the lg 5k display a matt or glossy display?
LuneTech Glossy.
Carter
I generally use my middle finger for movement on the trackpad, and using the index for clicking.
I've suggested the same for most new users and they seem to feel it works well.
Do you really respond to comments?
I do lol
UrAvgConsumer hey ur awsome can you do a giveaway
UrAvgConsumer kl thanks bro
Awesome video!
Those Strike Freedom Gundam tho😍 btw great vid! Like it very much!
A lot of gimmicks that appeal to the dumb and not informed consumer, not real innovations at all. Great review as always!
Francesco Vaccarella yup 100%
weak b8
Seriously love your channel dude
What editing software do you use
He said final cut pro in the beginning of the video
Alex Bouvier im new to apple devices and soon ill buy one . Is final cut pro free to use ?
PUC DAT BITS Final Cut Pro x is 500$ but you get a 30 day free trial. iMovie is either free if you got it recently or 14.99$ if you want to know you go to the App Store and see if iMovie says free or 14.99$
PUC DAT BITS FCPX is $300 but iMovie is free and it comes with every Mac.
Frank Incorrect. With last years update you have to pay. Doesn't come installed anymore.
I love how you are a gundam fan too. My Amazon recommendations look the same as yours :D *thumbs up*
funny to see people with no real IT background or knowledge talking about tech
Rasalas that's why his channel name is "UrAverageConsumer"
PixPig that wasn't an insult.
I am going to be a Software Developer and you develop things with your developer's mindset and the consumer sees it entirely different.
If you switch the way you think about something, it is funny. This is why puns are kinda funny. ;)
Rasalas there's a difference between software and hardware mate
Bonus points on the review for having the Gundam Freedom in the background.
Stupid trac pad its too big!!!
Big for a reason and you can easily solve the issues he mentioned through settings.
Burns0100, no there really isn't much reason for it to be sooo big.
Thisath Ranawaka Gestures. Makes Multi-Finger Gestures easier and also things like Zoom. I bet you don't know half the stuff the trackpad can do on a MacBook.
***** Aaaaand, no. I probably know it better than you, I've been using Macs for way longer than you have judging by comments on other threads. Sorry.
Either way, while I didn't particularly have a big issue with using the trackpad on the new MacBook Pro when I used it, gestures don't require such a huge space, the old one was actually big enough. It's simply too big. Contrary to what Apple (and you?) think, bigger isn't always better, as almost all the reviewers are complaining about that issue.
Thisath Ranawaka That huge trac pad will hurt sells for sure
Thank you for making online shopping easier
Love your vids
Great video man, I will always be entertained and informed by you!
Great video. I agree with the recommendation to wait for the transition period to complete unless you absolutely HAVE to upgrade for some reason.
Man I agree with you. My biggest problem is the ridiculous large trackpad. Other than that it is pretty good. The USB, touchbar, etc are not that bothering.
Great review, but I really would have loved to have seen how well the built-in camera works in the LG 5K display, along with its built-in mic. Can you at least tell us if it is 1080p or 720p? Thanks.
Where can I still buy one of these? Thanks
A RUclips Channel with no name second hand, refurbished models are still very expensive people are still buying it lol
When I saw that it had a huge trackpad I immediately asked what the palm rejection was like. That lg display though!
great video, was thinking about getting a mac so this video really helped with knowing more about it thanks
Keep up the good work!!! Love your videos. I inspire to be like you one day!!!
What do use to edit your videos? And I'm leaning towards getting the 2015 version rather than the 2016..🤔
woow 😱..THE touch bar.. is AWESOME
This video was really cool to watch thanks for the video i'm defiantly subbing to this cannel and your macbook pro is looking really good dude keep it up!!!
Finally someone who has bluetooth mice and doesn`t bragging about ports for it.
Great video. keep this up and do more of this series
That setup with the lg is dope!!!
you almost at 1mil bro, keep doing what you are doing!
Great video...nice review. It sounds like the new MacBook Pro is more of a mixed bag than I expected.
very intelligent discussion and even-handed criticism.
Do you think the touch bar is useful when editing photos or videos.Because you look straight to the screen and not on the keyboard
How good would it be if he did daily uploads. Love how professional these videos are.
I really loved this video. The best review i've seen so far.
Really cool video and a greater review. Really made me think about if I really want the new mac book thanks man.👌🏻
What shaky camera are you using for your hand held? Wait until late december for this amazing eGPU for the 2016 Macbook Pro. That's why Apple went with thunderbolt 3. Laptop GPUs would never be as fast as desktop GPUs so why not just buy a desktop GPU for your Laptop. I can't wait. I'll let you guys know what it is after I order mine. I'd hate for this thing to be back ordered on me.
Great down to earth review. Keep up the great work!
I have never had a MacBook Pro. So am I going to necessarily miss the ports or notice the changes. I got this for Christmas - should I take it back for the MacBook Pro 2015?
Thanks for your video. I'm waiting for my MacBook Pro. Want to use fcp x. Can you tell me about your workflow. Do you put your rushes on an external drive ? Which one ? Hdd, ssd ? Do you copy your rushes in fcp x library or have it just referenced ? I'm a newbie in this stuff and would like to begin the right way.
Your channel is tricking awesome don't know how I haven't found it earlier!
I think with the touch bar apple should add a little music icon when you listening to music off Apple Music or Spotify and then when you want to change songs with out going back to that application you could tap the little music icon an the touch bar and it would bring up all of your music library and a bit like the emojis but replacing emojis with album covers
I too have recently purchased the mac book pro 2016 without touch for my wife. I have taken the logitech mx master and wanted to know your opinion on the same
