This is a really good choice for people who are:
1) In need of a laptop for school or work
2) Do not like gaming and feel no need to video edit at all
3) Value portability more than anything on a laptop
4) Already invested and are used to the Apple ecosystem
5) Not turning over the couch cushions looking for enough money for a meal
+Golden Boy or you know, you could just get the macbook pro
+Golden Boy i loved it guy
I'm thinking about getting it to go along with my regular windows laptop. I'm a heavy user, but I want to try out OSX for the first time. I also want to use XCode (to develop iOS apps), and while I could use a virtual machine for OSX on Windows, it is a hassle and is very slow. When it's time to replace the Windows, I'll likely build a hackintosh or a windows PC
+Golden Boy I agree but for that money it needs to have a better battery at the very least. I have the 15 inch pro for work and i just got the 11 inch air for travel and just tablet replacement. The 12 inch macbook costs too much for what it is.

A chromebook doesn't have a desktop level OS. It won't provide a solution.
Great review. I switched from a shitty Asus zenbook to this, and every single time I use it I can't believe the built-quaity and how good the screen is. I'm in love with this thing. And couldn't stand windows anymore.
TheSoundYouNeed You spent over $1000 ON THIS?!?!?!
TheSoundYouNeed really? I have a 2015 zenbook and I would never think of changing it for an overpriced and weak macbook
Expensive piece of shit not even worth it then it'll become obsolete in about 2yrs bcuz of its mediocre specs smh
Raúl Narea well that's because you haven't tried both. I grew up with windows, got my first macbook when I was 18, made me realise how terrible windows is. Still used windows for WoW and a few other games, until I had a dual boot on my mac. Got a 2015 Asus as a gift, though I'll give it a try. Realised windows is still terrible, purchased the new macbook. I think, me, and obviously MKBHD, have way more valuable opinions on the matter since we both use macs and pcs. MacBooks are incredibly piece of technology and quality, and their quality and design inspire me every day when I work on them. I don't think I would have started TheSoundYouNeed, or put so much time into choosing the most beautiful artworks and focus on quality if I was working on pc.
TheSoundYouNeed So you downgraded and paid more? Jeez lol
Unless you're a gamer or content producer, there's no need for juiced up specs. Computers have become efficient and affordable for average users. This is a milestone in consumer tech.
Or unless you need to run a VM, use 3D CAD software, run development tools like Visual Studio or Android Studio... You know, stuff people actually do on PCs beyond gaming and editing... The list of stuff you won't be able to do with an Broadwell-Y processor is rather long...
Pol Mesalles Yes, but most consumers don't have these needs.
inquisitive871 If you don't have these needs and only use it for Facebook, mail etc. you shoud get a good tablet for ~400$.
***** Even as a student I wouldn't buy this though, it looks nice but it's just a too expensive Facebook machine. I'm getting the MBP, much better and I love the OS.. The Surface Pro is a fine product but not really something for me
***** May I ask what are you studying? Depending on on what you are doing, you might have to reconsider Mac OS...
its still the best looking laptop out here hands down
+Petter Vosvel are laptops made primarily to look good or to help you get shit done?
Asus zen book, surface pro 4, and the surface book are all better looking.
+Idris Ahmed Laptops are for portability more than anything, if you want power go buy a desktop.
+chad liquilla Asus zen book, surface pro 4, and the surface book are all equally portable but far more powerful. And power does matter... MacBook starts thermo-throttling and slows right the f down after just a few open tabs of chrome... so you have a portable pile of crap... with a 480p camera!
+Idris Ahmed Do you or did you own one?
I've had this laptop since launch. I use Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, and iMovie without any issues at all. Most people do not use their laptop for more than what I just listed. So, this laptop actually fits about 90% of all laptop users.
Yes, the lack of a USB port and become a pain. However for the most part most devices are wireless or Bluetooth to begin with. After about one month I was very accustomed to guess having no USB ports. Overall this is probably the best laptop ever made, unless you need to perform intensive processing.
Do you still use it?
@@aurorachaidez1699 I still use my 2015 MacBook. I bought it as a college student and it was PERFECT. 5 years in and it's still running great. Now I mostly just use my iPad Pro so I'm actually looking to sell my MacBook
It’s 2020 I’m still using this machine and I love it!
Habe you had any issues with staingate?
Hey, did you have any issues with the butterfly keyboard? I want to get it but I'm scared cuz of the keyboard issues that a lot of people had

Great quality review... I agree, I think I am staying put for now with "something Pro" given the things I do. For what it is, an Air or even iPad is about the same and you can do a bluetooth keyboard and other accessories. As always, you knocked it out the park! *****

Not really Devices must do some Key Features better than a Smartphone or a Laptop or else it has no point of existence. Netbooks flopped so hard because they were crap and can't do anything better. Tablets can never replace Notebooks cause they're lacking some key things like getting work done efficently. Tablets are great for Web Browsing and Media Consumption but you can't get Work done with them.
iWoWaSays no. you are wrong. tablets can replace laptops. they can get work done. Enterprises are moving a lot out their terminal task to tablet.
They can do a lot more than 5 years ago so in 5 more years they will be do even more .
It's a huge achievement in engineering, just as the first Macbook Air was. But because it's the FIRST to do all the things it does well (thinness, lightness, etc.), it's expensive unsurprisingly, which is why no one should buy this and people should opt for the Macbook Air instead. The price should come down drastically in the next few years as competitors make similar kinds of notebooks, as it did for the Macbook Air.
R Yokoe "But because it's the FIRST to do all the things it does well (thinness, lightness, etc.), it's expensive unsurprisingly"
Except that's complete BS, it's not the first to achieve that. The Surface Pro 3 (a Tablet, Digitizer Drawing Board, AND Laptop in 1) is thinner, lighter, more powerful, more ports, more versatile, higher res webcam, longer battery life, yet it's still cheaper and reasonably priced.
Thin and light is no excuse for an inferior device, the Surface Pro already made that clear. This is just Apple yet again taking advantage of those who have more cash than sense...
R Yokoe It's just a tablet with integrated physical keyboard. Sure it's pretty, but I don't see the "huge achievement in engineering" part. At least no more than any other tablet out there.
+R Yokoe Thinness and lightness aren't necessarily good things.
JJ Warner If that's what the consumer wants, then they are.
R Yokoe Look at that thing. It's $1300 and has a 1.1GHz processor. Half-Life, a game released in 1998, requires an 800MHz processor. My 800$ laptop that's 2 years older has a 2.9GHz processor. It's not any less portable. Most of the time laptops are going to be under your arm or in a backpack anyways, so thinness doesn't really matter. Especially if it kills off functionality to the extent it does in Macbooks.
just finished repairing one of these and the speakers definitely look powerful inside!
So beautiful, so overpriced, so not getting. Will you use it on the daily Marques?
***** Was wayy too eager to comment quickly! Thanks, Marques. =)

I did. I have a custom built gaming rig. And a separate Mac Pro for video editing. :)
So thin and light yet that one port is killing me. Dope video dude!
It looks really good but not really sure what it's purpose is, it's a bit lacking and expensive to be used as an actual laptop :|
Adam Tan Completely agree.
It is ok to make a laptop that is just for web browsing and RUclips, but if you just use it for those purposes it shouldn't be this expensive. Although this looks pretty elegant you can do the same stuff with a much cheaper laptop, like a chrome book.
Adam Tan $1300 tablet replacement as he said haha. Its a worthless product.
Adam Tan 1.1 ghz XD
Adam Tan The purpose, to surf the web for the most part. lol
Conference about the new Macbook:
Boss: "Men and Women, we need a revolutionary way to get a shitload of money! Give me ideas!"
Worker: "Why don't we rip off all of the ports and make people spend $80.00 to have them back?"
Boss: "I love it! Have a promotion! All of you have a promotion! We're gonna be billionaires!"
Other Worker: "We're already billionaires!"
Boss: "IDGAF!"
MultiCandyAddict
That is exactly how that conference went.
How it should have actually gone:
Other Worker: "We're already billionaires!"
Boss: "Want to get demoted?"
Other worker: "No..."
Boss: "THEN SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND GET TO WORK!"
+Ivan Balajić Not comparable.
Yeah because you're obviously as intelligent as any of the engineers at Apple.....smh
+Ivan Balajić The thing is, the disc drive was *replaced by* USB, not *disposed off*. Look at it this way: all the components of old computers have not been removed at all, but they are just updated to the most current tech. Floppy disk, optical drive, VGA -> Cloud, USB, HDMI -> now USB Type-C. The old charger also got updated to a USB Type-C port, but... the problem is there's only ONE port. That means no usb no display port when charging, or no charging no display when using usb, etc. So basically, instead of updating the components, Apple *removed* them, which is completely different from "removing" the optical drive.
So.... The new MacBook is essentially just a $1,300 tablet.
A 1300 dollar tablet that makes you think, "wow, tablets suck!". Btw have one, so personal experience.
That Guy 007 Facebook machine.
Leon Z lol more money than sense?
That Guy 007 you're read my mind ...
***** But the Surface pro has a touch screen as well, which is super nice in some situations.
This is the best notebook I've ever used, including MacBook Pro with retina display.
looks great,
reasons i would not buy - price, specs, lack of ports for use with most stuff like their products or third party stuff. I'd just get a macbook air
I'm a fan of tablets! Not a big fan of laptops!
Jay some minor things, and this is literally a tablet with keyboard
NonsensicalSpudz that seems to be it's purpose
NonsensicalSpudz Pretty much. It's a $300-500 Intel tablet with a built in trackpad and keyboard, overpriced by a wide margin.
NonsensicalSpudz but it doesn't have a touch screen though!
I'm still rocking this 12-inch MacBook almost 9 years later! But, I just use it for media consumption and writing. Apparently it is "vintage" now.
I almost recycled it once when it got lost in a stack of magazines.
some mistakes at 0:34. it should be 3.5mm and 13.5 mm not 35 mm/135mm, and it's not even 13.5mm, it's 13.1mm/1.31cm according to the official Apple website
Alex Coreable you must be fun at parties
Marshall Prods LOL if it's not a tech video i wouldn't bother to point out at all. that was quite a mistake
Alex Coreable I didn't even notice until you pointed it out.
At least he does his best to include metric scale, unlike some other reviewers.
Alex Coreable We're in America, we don't use mm, so no one even knows the difference. Just talk in quarters of inches, eighth of inches, etc, then we get it.
cbrady2k8 it doesn't matter if you use it or not, it's more like a sense of scale rather than knowledge, it's pretty easy to get measurements converted these days.
notice how he demonstrated the trackpad on the "planned obsolescence" wiki page.
Gotta love Apple skimping out on specs again, you're literally overpaying SO much for this.
TutorialBump Yeah I agree, I think Apple probably went abit too far with this product by charging it at such a premium when it's seriously lacking in the specs department. It's almost an insult expecting people to buy it just because it's thin, but then again alot of Apple supporters still went out and got it.
Exactly, if I was an avid Apple buyer, let's say been buying their laptops for years and all, this would essentially be a big insult. Low specs, only 1 port?! I get the whole convenience aspect of skinny devices, but you can only go so far where it starts to hinder the actual purpose of the device.
As much as I love Apple I totally agree with you about the specs skimping. When I saw the specs on this product I was expecting around a $800-$900 price tag and I saw $1300 and I was like 0_0
TutorialBump Exactly! The new MacBook is literally just Apple separating fools and their money, mercilessly this time around.
- Removed multiple ports, using thin and lite as an excuse, even when the Surface Pro 3 has proved that to be BS
- Downgraded the CPU to the weak Core M
- Downgraded the GPU from Intel HD 6000 to HD 5300
- Downgraded the WebCam from 720p to 480p
- Removed the backlit logo to cut down on costs
- They even went as far as shortening the power supply cord to further cut down on the costs
- Still made it even more expensive
Don't know why exactly you'd want to throw such amount of cash at an already giant corporation for such an extremely inferior product...besides blind love for that fruit or just outright foolish.
It's not about the specs, it's not fro photo editing it's really just for word processing and web browsing.
We always appreciate your honest reviews! That's what's most important for any consumer! Thumbs-up my man!
Watching in 2024
same, cause I just get one
RUclips doing RUclips shenanigans
i like the mr T hair cut😄
LMAO. And just discovered I can force click on my trackpad to look up definitions of a word.
@k0ngK Same. Upgrading this laptop from the original OS was horrible experience. When you run outdated OS, the browser that is tied to OS is untrusted so I could not even visit Apple support website, they blocked the browser. Also, Apple forgot my password and signup is blocked on outdated browser and require newer iOS or Mac device. It is dumb that Apple kills off older Macs so eventually you cannot even install software like newest browsers.
I have to say. It feels AMAZING to use. To step away from specs and focus on experience. best experience in a laptop ive ever experienced.
2022 and still enjoy owning this. The form factor is everything. I wished they release a M1 version with this body build.
it's 2023 and to see how far Marques has come is insane
What’s the latest version of macOS for the machine? My 2012 has a limit and I’m thinking to swap to this machine
@@fibistones1410 DONT BUY IT PLEASE!!
@@fibistones1410 ventura
It's not 35mm at it's thinnest point and 135mm at it's thickest point. 35mm is 3.5cm, 135mm is 13,5cm.
13,5cm is 5.3inches. Is the laptop really that thick? :P
I know you're American and you use the imperial units and probably got things confused or something, but the error is worth pointing out.

Subbed you
***** haha why use it then? Everyone hates it lol. Metric system master race !
Tech Innuendo simple math for the confused and needy.
I bought this ( 1.2GHz 512GB Space Grey ) mainly for college work, and the portability and let me just say it's perfectly fine. Sure you can't edit 4k vid without it dropping frames or play games at ultra settings but it's done everything I've asked it and a bit more. The main selling point was the size and weight. My previous laptop ( still have it ) was a MSI Stealth and that drained through its battery and would often have too carry a charger with me which wasn't practical. I can see why people would thing why would you buy it but the thing is its quite powerful for its little size and doesn't eat through its battery.
Strange, isn't it. All the arguments above and not one of them has commented on this. Glad to hear you've found it useful.
I'm a photographer and do a lot editing. I have an iMac 27 for video editing, iPad Air 2 for general use, MacBook Pro Retina 15 for Lightroom and Photoshop but have some business software that won't run on tablets. It's a pain lugging around a 15" laptop for appointments with customers, especially if I'm in the middle of photo editing or synchronising /exporting/uploading thousands of images at a time. This MacBook will let me keep everything in sync and is so portable I can have it with me at all times.
Yes, it's not the most powerful, and I'm sure there are alternatives that have more power and costs less. But that's not why people are buying it. My first iPad was wifi only, so it stayed at home. Since getting cellular it's with me everywhere I go. Due to the portability, the new MacBook would go everywhere with me and I welcome it with open arms.
What type of games did you play?
+KhaledHamalawy Is that for me or Joe? Neither of us mentioned games, is all.
+KhaledHamalawy I haven't played any games on it. I mainly use it for college stuff and some coding work. But it's not gonna play games at ultra. I think it will play a lot of games at low to medium settings. But haven't tested it
Seeing this in 2020 and knowing where this dude is rn is amazing. What a journey.

Aristotle Hey hey, apple cannot charge less than $500. Premium build
I bought my Macbook as an iPad and keyboard combo upgrade and I've not regretted that decision.
"The next Macbook will be, undoubtedly, a lot better"
Yeah guess what, they just announced the 2016 version. They switched to the Skylake CPU (which won't do much due to thermal throttling) and added a new color. So yeah, still wayyy too expensive^^'
The CPU got a 30 percent power boost, and the gpu got a 50 percent one... That is not a small upgrade bro
Like I said, throttling and you can screw the extra power (also maybe 10% CPU not 30, and maybe 30% GPU). After 1 min it clocks down, end of story.
true
like most idiots, this one +Abe Tef fell prey to Apple's marketing idiocracies. The CPU is nowhere near 30% better than the last one. Nor the GPU.
In 2017 the keyboard is fixed.
One of the best tech product for daily drive and very handy. I really like this macbook. I use every day without any regret.
this video is so calming..
Dude. I don't watch your videos because the production value is better than everyone else out there. I watch them because your opinions are more insightful, your reasoning more compelling, and your logic more sound, than EVERYONE ELSE. Another great one.
And incidentally I agree with you about the second gen model being the one to buy - remember how much of an improvement the gen 2 MacBook Air was over the original? The build is so sexy I can barely keep my hands off it every time I walk in an Apple Store but I'm determined to wait for the second rendition and the faster processor and (fingers crossed) improved keyboard that it will bring.
I think it was on purpose that he had the Wikipedia page for "planned obsolescence" up during his review at 1:36.

Idris Ahmed I'm not buying the base model tho
It's embarrassing they have it, let alone put it on a machine that costs $1100... So you go ahead and give them another $200 and buy the actual decent pro which still costs a whopping $1300.
Btw, I don't disagree with you, the Mac Pro is the only decent Mac out there, it's just, they sell one with that stupid HDD...
my bad if that wasn't clear. Yes I am talking about the MacBook Pro without the retina display and the 5400rpm hard drive (512GB or 1TB)... Can you believe they sell that, and then have the nerve to sell it for $1100!
+Idris Ahmed The ONLY reason they still have it is cuz is the only version that supports optical drive and upgradable ram.
Some people still use discs.....
So basically this is Apple's Chromebook competitor?
Cameron Worsham Chromebool Pixel and Surface Pro 3. Yes. And they are all three quite potent in different areas..
For quite some people this will win over the Surface Pro (even though that's a tablet, when you add the thinnest keyboard you have to buy separately, the Macbook is actually thinner, lighter, more silent and even cheaper (similar RAM and Storage) than the Surface Pro).
Macbook offers better traditional productivity with the bigger and better keyboard and huge fully functional touchpad and a premium design, USB-C port high res screen, great speakers and OSX (compatible with Apple's ecosystem if the user happens to have more devices.
Surface Pro offers touchscreen and a pen support -(which you have to buy separately I believe)- (which is included), a (dated but) slightly better processor (albeit one requiring a fan), better webcam, regular type A USB 3.0 port, display port, microSD slot, oh and a stand (they are very proud of their stand).
As for the Chromebook Pixel, it is more web focused, less office program focused. Web-focused screen aspect ratio, better resolution than both others, thicker and heavier than both but still light, double USB-C port, touchscreen (albeit on a laptop form factor..) better webcam, and Google's ecosystem.
Another difference is the location of weight when working (hardware weight behind the screen (SP3) or under the keyboard (Mac and Pixel).
They all overlap in their target audience and are heavily competing for those customers. They all have different advantages over one-another..
Cameron Worsham Can't run software on a Chromebook.
***** The Surface Pro 3 includes the pen with the purchase. Only the keyboard is purchased separately (though one can buy it easily in a bundle from Microsoft).
Cameron Worsham Chromebook is shit. you can't run shit on that. Even worse than the new macbook. Surface pro would be a better buy in term of hardware but Win 8 actually drags it down a bit. (Win 10 should fix that)
Yeah, Chromebook is quite a limited "laptop".
just got this laptop second-hand as a replacement for my aging 2008 mbp. works great for general day to day usage, extremely solidly built, and very considerably cheap at the moment. for other purpose i have a gaming desktop.

@@angelsilver. Still works totally fine, the only people who were experiencing that were probably tech you tubers who didn't care about it because they got it for free and were eating a pizza off the keyboard. New versions of the butterfly also have safeguards for this. Any keyboard can jam, and this is a new mechanism so is it maybe more likely to get stuck? Yah maybe, but personally I've never seen someone treat it right and have it happen
that laptop looks so attractive...
xps 13 is smaller and almost as thin, actually has ports and a cpu running at a good clock speed
noah penutbutter also has better display, and is 100 less for i5 version
xps is i believe as light or very close in weight with mac book air, for the same price as that mac you get a better resulution, same battery life, 5th gen i5 running 2.5, and 8gb of ram
so ya go watch any review on the xps 13 2015 and everyone loves it
noah penutbutter The xps is thin and light, but not nearly as thin as the macbook. Its also not smaller, but it is for sure more powerful!

Of course its not for gaming, its an ultrabook! You are looking in all the wrong places if you bought the xps for gaming
It's May 2021 and I was on the road and finished this years taxes using TurboTax Premiere on a 2017, 12-inch Macbook. I don't think I would have been able to do that as efficiently and 'elegantly' on a high-end iPad Pro. Great insight into the future MKB! This was and still is an amazing tablet replacement and more.
You haven't used a 2021 iPad pro if you think this.
This is a fine ultraportable device but it's not a fair comparison against an iPad with internals from 6 years in the future.
The M1 iPad pro is more powerful than many, many laptops in 2022.
I believe that Macbook Air is much better for the money you pay
I love this MacBook so much, even the Keyboard, something Ideal 4 me !
I'm planning to get a used one for 500.
I hope I get it then!
have you gotten it?
500 bucks???😱😱😱
It will always be relative on what people need, but I just ordered mine in silver today. Honestly people, it doesn't pack as much of a punch, but if you want a really nice laptop, this thing is a beauty. In love with the entire thing. Once you get used to how it types, this thing is amazing. I would say the butterfly keyboard and size of the keys all make it worth the price. If you want to game, you shouldn't be looking at Apple, but something that has aesthetic and quality with innovation, and any one of the MacBooks are great.

***** I'm not quite sure about those 35 & 135mm (0:33-0:39). just saying ;)
Felix Gruber LOL Americans. That's 1.3 inches at it's thinnest and 5.3 inches at it's thickest!
Felix Gruber True.
It's 0.14-0.52 inch (0.35-1.31 cm)
Thinner is not always better--Apple was wrong making the iPhone 6 too thin--and now the MB. The CEO is incompetent.
***** Oh yes, and then there is that pathetic watch--which isn't anywhere near being ready for prime time.
***** Nor does it have a reason to exist. An open ecosystem has definitely helped android wear. Either way, tech watches are absolutely the most ridiculous new development in tech. What dweeb would get a smartwatch?
***** luckily it's shareholders which judge the CEO rather than the general public. I'm sure Sony, Asus, Motorola and LG would love a similarly incompetent CEO to up their sales.
***** Try it before you completely dismiss it. I was right there with you, and while I still don't recommend it, it has some compelling pros. The Watch, however… no gps? Big fail. It could be good, one day, though. Probably version 4 or so.
You got Rioted, I'm not the general public. And what other might or night not want does not change the fact he is incompetent and malfeasant. Shareholders aren't always competent either--in fact they often aren't. Jobs was very good--this CEO is not.
Your speech is so simple, hope you have all the success you want.
Apple could bring this 12” MacBook back with M1.
The new MacBook is literally just Apple separating fools and their money, mercilessly this time around.
- Removed multiple ports, using thin and lite as an excuse, even when the Surface Pro 3 has proved that to be BS
- Downgraded the CPU to the weak Core M
- Downgraded the GPU from Intel HD 6000 to HD 5300
- Downgraded the WebCam from 720p to 480p
- Removed the backlit logo to cut down on costs
- They even went as far as shortening the power supply cord to further cut down on the costs
- Still made it even more expensive
Don't know why exactly you'd want to throw such amount of cash at an already giant corporation for such an extremely inferior product...besides blind love for that fruit or just outright foolish.
Vihan Bhargava That wasn't his point at all. Hell you don't even need to be a gamer to make those points. All those downgrades yet you guys would still buy it out at a ridiculous price. No fool is going to play BF and wishing to max it even on the previous generation. Irrelevant as it is.
Vihan Bhargava Erm, that's not like saying that at all. A phone functions to call/text and has apps to access social sites, GPS, etc. (whatever quirks you do with your phone) you can do out of your pocket in your hand within seconds. You're not going to carry around a laptop for those tasks, no matter how light/thin it is, as long as these smartphones are around. Hell I don't know even know where you got that analogy as much as pulling some Battlefield assumption out of nowhere.
The original point was that the specs in that new Macbook was not worth its price. An old complaint against Apple, I know, but still an ongoing complaint since it's price point is at $1300 for rather low specs and all in the name of it being light and thin.
Vihan Bhargava Macs do slow down, but just like a $600 PC, it would be due to the PEBCAK malware.
I could use a $600 computer to perform every everyday task you'd perform on that overpriced MacBook, and it won't slow down a bit, simply 'cause I think b4 I click. If you're just ignoramus and click through all the warnings from your web browser, Windows SmartScreen filter, Windows Defender, and USER Account control, that's not a problem with Windows PCs, that's you being ignoramus. The end result will be similar (your computer getting screwed) regardless if using a Mac or a PC.
Learn to think before you click, and you won't see a need to waste that extra $700 for "everyday tasks"...
Vihan Bhargava If it's so annoying to you, no one asked you to respond to my comment. You could have easily just ignored it if it's so "annoying" to you.
You're not an idiot for liking Macs, what is idiotic is ignoring what the competition offers for your money and just going to buy whatever has a specific branding.
In this case, there's no justifying this with other Mac hardwares available, and especially not with competition like the Surface Pro on the market...but hey it's you and your money being separated like a fool :)
MrElectrifyer
Okay, I'll bite.
I was a huge Apple fan, I got tired and disillusioned. I basically said "why the fuck did I pay $1,000 for a 1080p 6+?".
Here's what I did, I sold my rMBP, and I sold my 6+. I then went and bought a Surface Pro i7/8/512. I then had so many heating and screen problems (two replaced SP3's) that I decided I couldn't do it. Seriously, windows 8.1 is a fucking MESS.
Then, I decided to get an LG G4, and it overheated within an hour of owning it.
Needless to say, I'm back with Apple. I'm buying the 2015 Macbook, but I stack discounts on Black Friday, so all in all I'll probably pay $1000 before tax for the $1600 one. Then, I'm building a hackintosh.
still love the fact that i can watch your videos in 4k. i have got the macbook pro 2015, and i am very happy with it. could have chosen the new macbook but i though it has a lack of options for that kind of money.
Just because something is beautiful or elegant doesn't make it a good product. This is a POS. They made way too many sacrifices to continue there thin and light fetish. It has no ports, less battery life, worse camera, and less powerful. This thing is just an awful product that looks amazing and Apple hopes that is enough for them to charge a ridiculous $1300 starting. Appalling
JamesJDMoe This is a good thing for future products. More companies will try and make their laptops thinner. Then they will compete for better specs. If Apple never made super thin laptops, we'd still have bulky laptops with the same specs right now.
JamesJDMoe I like apple, especially their iMacs, but this laptop is a silver turd. Nothing but shit on the inside. Would rather spend my money elsewhere
***** thats the point of the comment section. to comment on the video. and this is my comment. if you don't like it, down vote it and move on
Gabriel Chagas no the future is not going to be less powerful machines and worse cameras and worse battery life. the only futuristic thing about this laptop is the USB Type C port, but there is ONLY one so there's no point.
For me it has a brilliant battery life
its a laptop for people that just want to browse the web.......thats why they made it..
if you want more ports then get a macbook pro and stop getting so butthurt
1300 for a web browser.... Do people not care about their hard earned money?
Myles Daye When your daddy makes 100k a month I don't think you care about "hard earned" money.
Myles Daye people can do whatever the fuck they want with their money
stop94motion Even then it sucks ass even when web browsing. Even my shitty 2012 Dell Inspiron browses faster than that piece of shit.
Why spend 1300 for a "web browser" when you can get a chrome book for a much cheaper price
Anyone watching in 2020 ?
.-.
seriously bruh -_-
I love how u say “tablet replaecement” wich is actually perfect, because i had this as a secondary laptop for youtube and web browsing, but i sold it because i didn’t need it
I’m surprised to see someone here after 5 years besides me😂😂
@@Sam-yk9kh 🤣🤣
For how much??
Marques you do realize that this macbook can edit 4K in Final Cut?
+Caos Boy Yep, even my macbook pro 13 2009 can edit in 4k with ease. Anyone that thinks this laptop isn't up to the task hasn't even tried
Are you guys actually serious? Whats the render time on some 4k raw uncompressed footage on an actual edited video? On this Macbook i'm guessing a few days. That is if it doesn't thermal cut out or throttles to the point it can barely run the OS.
like 20 minutes according to a video I saw.
+Ian Reynolds sorry but Jonathan from TLD has already proved you wrong a long time ago
Ian Reynolds 4 Minute 4k Video around 6 minutes. The benefits of OS X
We waiting for this to get M1
No offense to Apple, but I think I'll save my money and take a nice weekend in Paris.
bro u could spend a month backpacking with that money
Many people would rather invest the money. Everyone has their preferences.
I'm supposed to pick a tool for my work and this is one of the options... this video helped me make the choice - stay away from Macs. What I got from this is that basically the only reason it is light is because it doesn't have anything useful inside it... and the battery dies faster than anticipated? And its small? And the keyboard is weird? No thanks.
lol his haircut is so much worse here. glad he found a good barber nowadays haha
"Tablet replacement."
So nowadays It's like having a tablet to replace a laptop to replace a tablet for $1,300? Really?
This thing is horrible. Call it like it is.
BatmansButt Butler I think his last statement summed it up. "It's one of my favorite laptops that you probably shouldn't get." I agree with him. It's a great device, but should be priced around $700-$800.
The fact that it’s 1300 bucks is crazy to me
I was thinking of dropping the idea of getting the new MacBook because of the single USB port-C, which is extremely incompatible and requires a A$29.00 extension. This review has completely changed my mind! Thanks!
Lmao that front webcam is horrendous. Wow.
i see you marques , flexing madd hard (3:50)
$1300 for a web browser?
jo l Your right its also $1300 for an overpirced, downgraded, respect-losted, peice of trash,with web browsing.
Tmasters yeah your basically buying 5 crappy batteries and a tablet that runs Mac OS
Even tablets have touchscreens.
Your a idiot
maybe apple needs to incorporate the technology used in the trackpad on the keyboard, maybe "little trackpads" for each keys based on the same principle, vibration and a solid feel for the keys, surely it would increase the value, but apple has never been shy about incorporating some new technology and charging the hell out of it
that's the thickest laptop in the world...divide by 10
It looks so....beautiful...I hate Apple...they freaking probably have $4K of my money lol. I already have a 15" rMBP and for some reason I have a craving for a super simple Mac for when I don't need "heavy lifting". I could see this being perfect for someone who has a Mac Pro for editing but wants a totally lightweight computer (not a tablet) for everything else.
I chuckled when he said gaming.
I have Macbook Pro, iPad Pro 12.9 LTE, and a Samsung Chromebook Plus LTE. I use my Chromebook more often because I don't use heavy programs. I surf the web, emails, wrting, watching youtube or netflix, that's what I do so this chromebook is perfect for me. I enrolled for 2019 spring classes. I don't know if I am be able to use chromebook for online classes.
Im pretty sure the ASUS Zenbook is thinner and twice as powerful, obviously ALOT cheaper. Also the HP Envy 13 is .8mm thicker but u get 8gm ram, i5/i7 @2.7/3.1Ghz proccessor for $200 cheaper. Whats more is they get the bonus of windows instead of mac os
+King Spankings I use both Mac and Windows but goddamn, no respectable Mac user should be endorsing this thing. It is so damn gimped compared to other alternatives, namely the Asus ux305.
The really used a 1.1 ghz processor in a $1300 computer? You're paying $1300 for the thinness, not functionality. I would rather buy an i5 Surface Pro and actually have a usable device.
Then do it and STFU. Don't tell people what to do with their money...
YourBoyFromThe6 he doesn't do that he only says what he would buy with that money😒
Even better, that 1.1GHz throttles down to 800MHz or less when it gets too hot. That's the cost of going fanless.
andrewia Unfortunately, you're right. Linus did a thermal throttling test and the CPU in this thing was as hot as a supernova
Jeremy, he did say "you're paying $1300 for thinness, not functionality." which implies he's judging what people do with their money.
Please Review Yu Yureka Cyanogenmod Based Phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LAKSHAY SHARMA never heard of that
redcastlefan similar to the one plus one
it is a bad phone😬
Mohammed Azam one plus one is better but come on its not that bad. or is it?
LAKSHAY SHARMA yureka is indian phone :P
I completely agree with you Marques. If your going to spend that much money on a laptop, you may as well just get a Retina MacBook Pro. Its a much better buy and its still light, thin and most importantly powerful.
***** how do u add effects to your video fr example 0:42(2.03 LBS) do u know any such free software to add stuff like that to your vids in windows
Bhargav Sripada That was probably done in After Effects, and it's no "effect" it's an animation, a simple but very well done one.
João Alves how do I get hands on it??
Bhargav Sripada Either subscribe to the Adobe Creative Cloud or torrent it, although it's not an easy software to learn, specially in the beginning.
***** Thanks
Bhargav Sripada in the case of the video:
Step 1: make the text animation
Step 2: use the motion tracking thing, I imagine MKBHD used the charging port(the black hole) as a reference so the software did lots of the work for him
Imagine this laptop with m1🤯
🗑
Lol, 3:19 Holy...
iMac (older model) at home, iPad mini (+keyboard) on the go...
Seems to be the best solution for me at this price point.
Because if this thing or an expensive (and also quite heavy) MacBook Pro gets stolen, you lost A LOT of money.
Always connect the two devices at home for data and you're good to go and work on your documents wherever you are :)
I am watching this on my 12 inch MacBook!
me too. i got gold
Guitary Life Nice! I have the 2015 space grey model with 1.2GHz processor, 8GB ram and 512GB SSD
2016 gold base model works amazing for all my searching and schooling needs!
super sexy beast
Guitary Life Thats awesome to hear! I was debating on buying the base 2016 model but I really wanted something with more storage since you cant upgrade anything later on:( The 2015 model is great for what I do which is some school work, video watching an light video editing(: Its such a pretty machine only thing I dont like is the 1 port:p
*how to get subs fast*
Make a 10 sec vid kicking random objects
Its 2019 now and I'll say I still love how this looks - despite how terrible this thing performs.
this 12" form factor so needs an Apple silicon refresh
You use millimeters and then again this wrong imperial system. Why is that?
No that actual dimensions is not the case. When he said the millimeters then he used that weird unit to measure it's weight. Goddamnit america, get rid of this lbs and whatnot thing.
Lbs stands for pounds...and lbs is used almost everywhere(or in America) when the weight is required... Anyway why do you hate it lol?
Shin547 lbs is a very America thing, Europe uses metric (kilograms etc) nearly exclusively.
You mad bro?
Mitchell Steindler 1 newton = 1 Kg * 9.81 m/s^2?
