Ok here's a lil update on the performance and thermals: The 1.4ghz base clock is very interesting, because as soon as the CPU goes under load (in this case Cinebench) it turbos all the way up to 2.9ghz. Thats a 1.5ghz all core boost, very impressive. The temps (as with any Apple device smh) get up into the 90C range pretty quick and then the fan kicks in. By running the fan at full speed manually we can keep it in the 80s most of the time and run a 2.9/3.0 turbo speed. Scores improve about 2.5%. By the way the fan is 7200RPM, which is nuts, if only the iMac had hard drives that spun that fast 😉
@@ondrejsoukup8376 It's not unreasonably loud, it's just the sound it makes is not pleasant. It's more whiny than other MBP fans that sound more like a whoosh
Ironically I feel nostalgic because I still remember when the pro label meant that it was designed for on-sight pro workloads as the first priority. It seems like they are listening to the criticism and making thermal throttling less of an issue for those who need to push their system for performance. I remember Jonny Ive? Some apple executive saying that they heard the criticism of the thunderbolt 3 MacBook pros loud and clear. This refresh has me finally making the leap for sure.

The base model 13" sure has come a long way... I'm happy with my 2015 max spec'd 15" MacBook Pro, but it's good to know that the lowest spec'd most recent 13" is actually super capable now... Great video, Luke!
Since I’m here early, just thought I’d say that you (along with Quin of Snazzy Labs) are my favorite Mac related RUclipsr. I love how you examine products from a practical and const effective standpoint.
I just got mine today with the free beats for $1199. I picked up a 500gb Samsung T5 on sale for $90 and a hyperdrive usb-c hub on sale. All for less $1400. Loving this set up and it will do everything I need. Got it based a part due tot his video because I kept thinking I needed the upgraded one.
This video was incredibly helpful, thanks for the detail on the processor and graphics performance relative to older macbook pros. This seems like a really solid entry-level machine.

You can't game on a Mac like you would on a PC. You get a Mac for productivity like programming, video editing, etc...My laptop is a hackintosh but my desktop runs Windows all the way.
Even if gaming was possible, with that low end graphics cards (if they even have a graphics card aka if it's not integrated) it would struggle running almost any game
I just cop'd a 2019 MBP w/ 8GB RAM, touchbar, i5 quad core 256 GB with 2 thunderbolt 3's on Apple website refurbished for $1099. So I still get the 1 year warranty. Im happy with it. I use it for music production (Serato Studio, Garage Band) and the fans dont go crazy like the MB Air does.
Hey, just a quick note, im pretty sure the upgrade gives also a second fan in the computer. So it isnt just the ssd, extra ports and more powerfull cpu, also gives better cooling solution and noise levels since a second fan helps a lot with maintaining both clocks and temps without need to spin so fast
Wow this Mac is nice but I will wait for the new generation but if my 2012 MacBook Pro would break I would definitely buy this one it’s got a really good value
I have been using this for 6 months already and honestly, the 128gb is not yet a problem for me, I am editing with final cut pro and things are going good as long as you turn off background rendering. This thing is fast i recommend this laptop after half a year of using this as my main editor
I bought this Macbook Pro at Best Buy two weeks ago at Best Buy, they price matched Costco at $999.99, a great deal. I am very happy with it. As far as the SSD, most things I do are on the cloud, or on removable storage. Thank you for sharing this, it makes me feel better about my Macbook pro purchase. :)
I hate these are 128GB SSD, however I got one and I am using an external 4TB USB-c HDD for work at home, and a 2TB external SSD to work on the go, has worked fantastic, using it for photo edit and video. No issues at all, really good value indeed.
To be honest, even though the noise isn't great, it's nice to see apple actually allow the fans to spin up rather than maintain quietness at a detriment to performance
I was considering it until I heard 128gb ssd. That’s a no go. My switch has a 128gb card in it and it’s already almost full with only 4-5 games.

I don't understand the people complaining about this model. It's a great deal, even with this little storage. But, besides the ddr3 and 128gb (come on Tim! not all is a profit race!), the performance results at that price are great! It's $1k lower than 15' MBP. That, that it's a good thing. Great review Luke!
I’m so used to biting my fingernails and having short fingernails I literally gasped and said “HOWD HE DO THAT” when he cut the plastic with his fingernails 💀
Thank you for easing my worry of this being updated right away in September! Everyone else is saying to wait and get the 16 inch pro which is moot to those of us who actually want a 13” MacBook. I guess I can stand it being replaced later in the year. The new keyboard might not even end up pleasing everyone. I am going to wait a month or so for more reviews but if all goes well I’m in.
The fact that we're almost 3 years out since the introduction of the touchbar and NO ONE has shown a good reason for why it even exists just further reassures my discontent with it. Hopefully it's gone in the next redesign and we actually get a touch display and real function buttons again. Nice review Luke.
My recommendation is to wait till november Black Friday sales, the suggestions that the brand new version of the MacBook with the totally "new" keyboard without that butter flies s**t will come out in October means you don't loose anything. The sales in that moment will at least save you 200$+
I got the late 2016 13” no touch bar model with 256gb ssd and 8gb ram. Bought refurbished in summer 2017 for 1300€. I love it. It’s light, portable and do almost everything including 4K video editing and simple 3D motion graphics. Of course it can’t replace my main workstation, but for fast editing on the go (I’m a commuter) it’s perfect. I’ve also been using for about 6 month a 2018 15” one with Radeon pro 460 max ram and 1TB ssd (more than 4000€ it’s price here) that my company gave me to do video editing on filming location and I have to say that I prefer my small 13” one. Of course the maxed out 15” is more powerful but only a slightly 25% faster in render times while it’s price is almost 4 times more! My small Mac is a better deal and the 15” is definitely not a mobile workstation nor a desktop replacement.
If I had money on the side, I would definitely buy this one! This update is just simply awesome, only thing missing is 16GB of RAM, I am quite ok with 128GB drive on mac
Oh wow I never thought i'd live to see the day of Luke recommending a brand new/refreshed apple product. This gives me hope for the era upon us that maybe Apple is starting to care about their customers again.
I have a 256gb ssd in my macbook pro (1799 model) and I use an external ssd (Samsung T5) for editing off of as its fast and then store everything on my external HDD (Seagate Portable HDD) So I have space on my ssd. If I need to re edit I'll throw it back onto the ssd
Great info I’m definitely inspired to purchase this machine. I love the way you just toss the stuffings out during the unboxing not like other RUclipsrs who try to be all neat lol. Great Video I’ll sub
Hi I make dance videos, mostly in 1080p 60. I want to buy this base model macbook pro for my work using FCP. Can you share the time required to render a raw 1080p 60 file of 15 mins long ?
Happy I ran across this video before I made my purchase. I was going to settle for the Air, but I kept going back to look at the Pro. I am thinking about long term investment versus short term expense. Even though I don’t understand all of the tech specs, thank you for helping me make a real decision.
'it's worth paying for the $1500 over the $1300 to get the 256gb ssd over the 128gb ssd' - ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!!! WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD PAY AN EXTRA $300 FOR AN EXTRA 128GB SSD SPACE WHEN YOU CAN BUY A EXTERNAL USB-C 128GB SSD FOR LESS THAN $40!!! I THINK YOU SHOULD TELL YOUR VIEWERS THAT THE INTERNAL UPGRADE FOR $300 IS NOT WORTH IT
@@larrydavila8322 I use a 2012 retina MBP with 1GB Vra, and a GT650M and the computer in this video beats it. And i can play tomb raider on my computer.
That base storage of 128 is the only thing that keeps me from buying one. If only the storage was expandable in some way by the user. Heck, even a SD slot would be better than nothing.
I just bought the 256gb version and I am honestly in love with the design, and touch bar. However, I will admit the fans are LOUD. I upgraded from a 2017 rose gold MacBook and it had no fans. It made absolutely no noise. So going from that, to this. Wow. It is really loud...
Yeah they’ve used one fan with a very high RPM, and frankly not the best fan design as far as sound levels (quite an unpleasant tone). With two fans you don’t have to spin them as much so it’s a quieter experience, though of course not as quiet as no fans 🤣
Just got mine off the refurbished store but got 16gb of ram and 256gb hard drive. And wow is it fast and the keyboard which I liked in my 2016 MacBook Pro. They keys are quiet and feel great. In Canada it was a 360 dollars cheaper than the new one.

If I had money on the side, I would definitely buy this one! This update is just simply awesome, only thing missing is 16GB of RAM, I am quite ok with 128GB drive on mac
Please do some 4K editing on FCPX and Leagues, these are the only reasons that attract me for trading in my 2013 macbook pro 15!
have same
3rd vote for 4k video. Time to do a head-to-head value comparison with Luke's recommended 2013-2015 Macbook Pro 15!
@@Raingod1 totally agree!
Look at Jonathan Morrison's in-depth video doing rendering on this laptop with FCPX
Oh wow I never thought i'd live to see the day of Luke recommending a brand new/refreshed apple product. This gives me hope for the era upon us that maybe Apple is starting to care about their customers again.
So the latest 1.4 GHz Intel cpu on the MacBook Pro is the better option than the more expensive 2.4/2.8 GHz version
Super man, very detailed information very nice. Subscribed
even though it only has 128gb, a external hard drive would still be a good choice right?
I have a 256gb ssd in my macbook pro (1799 model) and I use an external ssd (Samsung T5) for editing off of as its fast and then store everything on my external HDD (Seagate Portable HDD) So I have space on my ssd. If I need to re edit I'll throw it back onto the ssd
I’m a noobie but why can’t you just store everything on the SSD?
If you need more, external SSD drives are affordable. Good way to add storage space when you’re running out of room for your stuff.
@@junehudson6147 That’s why Apple sells you the iCloud. Everything can be backed up to the cloud - for a price. My stuff lives there.
Great info I’m definitely inspired to purchase this machine. I love the way you just toss the stuffings out during the unboxing not like other RUclipsrs who try to be all neat lol. Great Video I’ll sub
or wait for the 2020 redesign, that heaven help us.. may have more useful ports on a "pro" device.
The way he unboxes is so random but yet so perfect
16in Macbook, will be very expensive as well -
I just purchased MacBook Pro 2018. It is basically the same spec as the 2019. I like the deal of 2018 model.
Show up the internals of it, in comparison with the 2017 model
Please do one video for which is the best mac for music production and djing.
Hi
I make dance videos, mostly in 1080p 60.
I want to buy this base model macbook pro for my work using FCP.
Can you share the time required to render a raw 1080p 60 file of 15 mins long ?
Happy I ran across this video before I made my purchase. I was going to settle for the Air, but I kept going back to look at the Pro. I am thinking about long term investment versus short term expense. Even though I don’t understand all of the tech specs, thank you for helping me make a real decision.
'it's worth paying for the $1500 over the $1300 to get the 256gb ssd over the 128gb ssd' - ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!!!
WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD PAY AN EXTRA $300 FOR AN EXTRA 128GB SSD SPACE WHEN YOU CAN BUY A EXTERNAL USB-C 128GB SSD FOR LESS THAN $40!!!
I THINK YOU SHOULD TELL YOUR VIEWERS THAT THE INTERNAL UPGRADE FOR $300 IS NOT WORTH IT
Check your math, 1500-1300=200, not 300.
Thank you for this vlog! Just the right review before buying one!
Both Luke. 4K editing & gaming. 🙃
with intel iris grapics? really? xd
Larry Davila i think he meant 4K editing and not also 4k gaming that would be impossible
With 8gb of ram? That's a stretch...
@@larrydavila8322 I use a 2012 retina MBP with 1GB Vra, and a GT650M and the computer in this video beats it. And i can play tomb raider on my computer.
Raspberry Tech so you mean you can dota 2 and league with this machine?
That base storage of 128 is the only thing that keeps me from buying one. If only the storage was expandable in some way by the user. Heck, even a SD slot would be better than nothing.
16GB of ram + 256gb Storage should be made standard
I just bought the 256gb version and I am honestly in love with the design, and touch bar. However, I will admit the fans are LOUD. I upgraded from a 2017 rose gold MacBook and it had no fans. It made absolutely no noise. So going from that, to this. Wow. It is really loud...
Yeah they’ve used one fan with a very high RPM, and frankly not the best fan design as far as sound levels (quite an unpleasant tone). With two fans you don’t have to spin them as much so it’s a quieter experience, though of course not as quiet as no fans 🤣
So my question is. is the 1.4 ghz i5 (2019) better then my 2.0 ghz i7 (2012)
yes he says it’s better than all i7s 2017 and prior
Install after effect, premier, chrome and adobe XD and run them simultaneously. Lets see the performance.
Ankit S how’s so far?
It good it really good for coders and game developers
Just got mine off the refurbished store but got 16gb of ram and 256gb hard drive. And wow is it fast and the keyboard which I liked in my 2016 MacBook Pro. They keys are quiet and feel great. In Canada it was a 360 dollars cheaper than the new one.
