Would you be able to answer a question for me please? I am looking to get this laptop for a few reason, but a bonus reason would be if it is "possible" to play fortnite on it even in LOW settings. I cannot find an answer to this for the 2019 BMP 13". Do you know if it has decent FPS for fortnite on low settings?
@NK Allday Thank you. I reviewed the video, and although the title says 2019 MBP, he says no touch bar. However, the entry model (2019 BMP 13" 1.4Ghz quad core) does have a touch bar so Idk the actual level of this guys BMP :/. But thank you. I guess if an AIR can play it then MBP I mention above should then.
I think Apple is going in the right direction again: 1. Discontinuing the 12" MacBook. 2. Updating the MacBook Air. 3. Adding the touch bar to the entry-level MacBook Pro. 4. Using new material on the butterfly keyboard. 5. Lowering prices.
I'm tired of everyone being so negative about Apple these days. Technology as a whole is slowing, and you cannot get angry at the reality of Moore's Law. However, this is only really relevant for consumer technology; and that's because we don't need or use more features than we are already given.
Just got the 13 inch MacBook Pro. So far it's amazing. I have the 256 GB base model and I would recommend this laptop to anyone who needs a reliable machine.
It is comparable with other laptops for its price range. Microsoft charges an additional $300 for 256gb on the surface laptop. 💀 Hopefully they boost base storage next release though, 128 is small.
@@GregsGadgets A $400 price difference is not the same price range. The Surface Laptop is $899 at MS website. The 256GB version is $999 right as a type this. Upgrade to 256GB for Apple will set you back $1,499, or 50% more. $1300 plus tax is unacceptable for 128GB of storage.
Pishi A surface laptop 2 with 256gb of storage should cost 1299 but it’s on sale (something Apple should hear about) because it’s going to be replaced in the coming months. While I think 256gb should be the base on all laptops, Apple isn’t as bad on this when compared to other laptops. And also the Surface Book (what this device should be compared with) also starts at 128GB for 1149 MSRP. How is $1200 plus tax acceptable while $1300 plus tax isn’t?
Pishi A these guys make so much money on RUclips that for them, this is in the same price range. Also, they wear Apple glasses every year. I happen to own most Apple devices but getting sick of this shit.
Just got this exact 13” MacBook Pro configuration last night to replace my 13” late 2008 aluminum MacBook (still running after 10+ years 👍🏼👍🏼 but ready to retire). So far I’m loving my new MacBook Pro and seeing your positive review confirms that I’ve made a sound purchase. Here‘s to the next decade with my new MBP! 😁🥂
Just Got My MacBook Pro 13Inch Yesterday And I love it!!! Its Fast And The Keyboard Feels Perfects!!! Btw Excellent Video Thanks To You I made The Perfect Decision!!
Rodrigo it’s audible but not loud. More importantly the sound is soft compared to the clacky sounds of past pros. Haven’t gotten hot but then again I’ve only used it for coding and basic apps
just got it for thanksgiving and i have to give all the props to apple such an amazing, wonderful and efficient product that goes a long way, is perfect for UX/UI AND programming at the same time; its aesthetic and the software is so clean.
MacBook Pro' s heating issue is not an issue. In fact I would say that do not keep MacBook Pro on your bed. On bed, if we keep any electronic item, it gets heated
You got the 512GB SSD right? And it's still that much slower? Weird. It's the right cost tradeoff for most people, but I wonder what changed, doesn't seem like they halved the NAND chips and the T2 is the same.
Hi Greg.. I got mine yesterday and it should coming by the mail soon.. I picked up the 256 GB variant.. it’s my first MacBook and I am looking forward to it
I need to replace my mid-2012, this thing runs so slow now but man was it a trucker. It was wonderful to me through 4 years of art school. Took it everywhere with me. I'm hoping this one will be as trustworthy!
Michael Sandoval I’m picking up the 13” mbp this Sunday and it’s my first ever so I’m excited? I will only be using it for school so I needed something small and portable with good battery life. I’m assuming you love it and have no issues with it so far?
Michael Sandoval I’m about to pick it up! Do you have any suggestions on accessories I should get? What do you have as in protective accessories for your MacBook?
Im going into a software engineering major in University and was planning on buying this. I know ill need 512 gb of storage but would you recommend upgrading to 16GB Ram and the i7 processor? Or would 8 gigs and i5 still be enough to do entry level coding and application designs? Any help would be appreciated thanks!
I’d go with 16gb of ram you might need to virtualize software and the extra ram will be beneficial. You’ll probably be good with the i5 it has great multithreaded performance. Hope that helps 👍
Hey guys, can anyone suggest me whether I should go for the 8gb or 16gb model? I'm by no means gonna be using it for video editing or crazy heavy usage so I was thinking about the 8gb
I know the entry level base model is crazy, but if I have a bit more money to spend, are the other 13” models worth getting? I don’t know much about computers but I need one for school. I just want a good computer that is sure to last through my last 5 years of school. Thanks for any replies
You should do that for literally every application in 2019 - in the era of enormous web pages (like single Facebook tab consuming up to 1 GB of RAM) and web-based shit instead of native desktop apps. 8 GB is just unusable without rebooting your machine at least daily.
Can you please give me an help? I’m thinking to buy the new entry level 13” with 16 GB ram upgrade to use it for Photoshop and final cut editing (4k)....is it a good choice? Or I need to choose the 15” ?
I'm a a law student and I'm considering to buy my first macbook and I'm hesitating between air 258 and base pro which one should I get? I also use netflix, youtube and internet a lot
I haven’t had much use for Mac laptops in the sense that they get outdated quickly. They have never failed me...but- My iPads last me longer with lots of Apps that make tasks very easy and in the long run, more practical since I can move them around. But having the full capability of keyboard, more storage and the rest on a small package is tempting again. I can even process a short video on my iPh or iPad with an App. so... My question would be if it would last as long as mi 2009 iMac 27” that I still use for editing photos and video and all that i want to do in my office, not out there ...living room, patio, etc
It depends, what do you plan to use your laptop for? What studies do you plan on pursuing? If you are planning to do programming, graphic design, video editing, photography, or something like that, go with the Pro. If you are doing a more liberal arts field and only plan to write papers, do research, need a longer battery life go with the air. I hope that was helpful.
Do I need 16gb RAM for like 4-5 years, normally using python and R and might few data work in the future. No games and video editing. just web browsing and some youtube videos
I feel like what Apple should do is to make the more expensive MacBook Pros be equipped with 6 thunderbolt 3 ports and the baseline with 3 thunderbolt 3 ports (2 on the left, 1 on the right with the headphone jack)
Sulieman Ali you can use both, it’s very easy to dual boot windows on a MacBook I’m personally running Windows 10 from a externally connected usbc nvme drive for when I need it
Although I am not a fan of the butterfly keys, I would definately go for this one... However, since I got myself an iPad Pro 11“ a couple of weeks ago, I haven‘t used my ol’ mbp once. iPadOS is such a game changer that using MacOS now feels a bit like something of the past (and I love my MacOS!) It is very nice though that this mbp addition is available now.
I'm the same, although I went with the 12.9" iPad Pro 2018, got the 1TB for the extra storage & RAM. Although now that iPadOS is out in beta and coming soon in finished form, I guess I didn't really need that 1TB after all with external storage now a thing. Oh well. I love the iPad Pro and I find the 2018 models pretty much can satisfy most workflows. I don't use a computer at all now except the one I'm provided at work. I don't have to worry about T2 crashes or the Butterfly keyboard issues, the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio works incredibly well & even the wireless Magic Keyboard is great! And Apple Pencil Generation 2 has been a game-changing input device, I don't miss a mouse at all but we even have that added thanks to iPadOS. I could see myself going back to macOS once Apple brings their A-series chips to the Mac but for now, I'm happily working in a sole iPad universe!
i’m starting college, and I got 128 gb, because i just need microsoft office, web browsing/streaming, and 20 GB of music. i also have 200 gb icloud storage and i might get an external USB-C drive
I would recommend the 128GB because you are paying way to much by upgrading your storage through apple. I bought a 2TB samsung t5 ssd for 200$. If I would have bought the 1TB model of the macbook I would have paid an extra 700$. I never recommend getting anything above the base model storage when you can get ssd's for so cheap.
What's up with the storage being so low? 256GB? With all the high resolution pictures and videos nowadays, that will be gone in no time. Such a ripoff and a scam that Apple won't let you install your own ssd.
Agreed- I just installed a 1TB SSD in my 2012 MBP- and about half of it is consumed already. Just office work, nothing special. Wonder if the 2019 model allows a larger SSD. Pretty straightford on the 2012 unit.
This is the reason why I’ll trade in my 2017 MacBook Air. But I’ll hold the gun until next year when they finally update the keyboard. I’m not going to risk it on a Butterfly keyboard especially when I know that they’re going to replace it with new scissor mechanisms next year. I’m a writer so a keyboard is absolutely crucial. Hopefully they can keep this rate.
GregsGadgets thanks. I screwed up and its the 2.3 version from 2018. They have it right now for $1399 for the 2.3 256 mbpro from 2018. In your opinion is the newest 1.4 256 the better option which i can also get for $1399? Thank you.
Except for the fact that they made all the hardware built in together so no upgrading over time, so you are smart to get the best model for long term use which puts it more in the $2,000 range.
Would the base model 13 inch MacBook Pro be good for mostly 1080p video editing and some 4K video editing in Final Cut Pro, making music in Logic Pro, photo editing and would It be able to use blender? I want a MacBook that can do all of this but I don’t have the money to buy a 15 inch MacBook Pro, so would the 13 inch with the integrated graphics be able to do all this?
Francis O I think it will work perfectly for does tasks. Maybe you should upgrade to 16GB RAM. In case you need more graphics power you can start saving for a eGPU for later.
I just got the base model with 128gb, should I return it and get the air with 256gb or cash out on either an external ssd or upgrade the pro to 256gb- a student who does not use video editing programmes photoshop etc but does run lots tabs and apps.
Running a lot tabs and apps is more RAM dependent than storage size. What could help with 128GB SSD is if you're also storing some media in the cloud and if you're good at maintenance (deleting old files and apps). Generally 256GB is minimum but 128GB is fine for some.
@@EmilJonssonReel i went to the apple store and storing stuff in the cloud isn't really something I can control they said the laptop will automatically move things across to the cloud when running low on storage- does increasing RAM improve very light gaming also? bare in mind I got the 128gb and within 2 days my system storage has grown to a ridiculous 26gb of storage and apple said I can't reduce it and it will only grow
From what you're describing (no photoshop, video editing or medium+ gaming) I would say 8GB RAM is probably fine. Don't have too many apps running at the same time if it starts to slow down. You can absolutely control what's in the cloud (iCloud) but if you're not knowledgable in cloud storage (and not keen on paying for cloud upgrade) then packing more inside is probably prudent. Go for a 256GB upgrade, is my advice.
just bought this MacBook Pro about 2 weeks ago and it is making a weird clicking noise when I open it, if I open it straight after closing it the laptop won't click but if I leave it for a short while then it will, some corners of the devise will also quietly click when I put it down on a hard surface, and just putting pressure on some parts of it will make it click! Also while opening the devise the hinge will occasionally click. Is this something I should be worried about?
I'm currently an architecture student and I'm looking to buy a new macbook pro would you recommend this 2019 basemodel upgraded with 16gm ram and 256 storage or just save up for the 2018 15 inch MacBook Pro? Thanks!
It's so stupid. This should've been out when the redesign was made initially. Now we're at the end of the cycle of the current design and they release a cheap (in Apple terms) quadcore MBP.
@@GregsGadgets Absolutely. I hope they will have a quadcore MBP in that range for their new models. It took me ages to decide whether it is worth it to get a MBP at that price point and I decided not to. Now, for my liking, it's too late in the product cycle as well as the not very reliable hardware keep me from the purchase.
Torn between MacBook Pro or Surface Laptop 3.. really want a MacBook but this keyboard debacle is putting me off.. my only thinking is I can buy from John Lewis with the 2 yr added care & as soon as it becomes discontinued in nearly 2 years I could take it back damaged and get the next model equivalent to my original spend.. 🤔🤔🤔
the problem is I plan on keeping my laptop more than 4 years.. so that 4yr replacement program is a joke for me. And hasn't the T2 chip been giving the Macs problems?? I feel it's really best to wait until a year after the upcoming redesign.. so we get the newest tech, with a year under it's belt to work out the kinks and if there are any new issues.
What if I don’t have apple care when I buy my MacBook 13inch pro ? Will they still fix the keyboard if any problems for free ? Please respond bro !! Or should I buy apple care. I never break any of my products so I never buy apple care..
Christian Legault maybe because I’m one of the few people that really like extremely low travel keyboards. I get it, despite the fact that I like it, I still think they should change it cause the amount of people that likes it is probably very low, as most things in my life, I’m always the odd one 🙃
There is no adapters with "bunch of USB C ports", so far there is no USB C hub released yet, so in fact, you can connect only 2 USB C devices and no more, no matter what adapter you use
Yes, it’s a powerful budget machine but beware of the single fan that this MacBook has. I bought one yesterday, but am worried about what it will be in the long term usage. If consistently high performance with just one fan would it break very soon?
can someone please help me choose the right macbook pro for deejay production, i found a second hand 13 macbook pro (2015) i.7 / 3.1Ghz 8G RAM 256 (SSD) for about 900$ or the new 2019 Basic model ?! which one is more powerful ? the 1.4Ghz i5 Quadcore or 3.1Ghz/ i7 dualcore ?
Hey Greg was thinking my local store Microcenter has one of these refurbished for 599.99. Do you think it’s worth the price? Also they have the Mid 2018 MacBook Pro 15.4 for 799.99 refurbished. Looking for to give as a gift. Thanks Greg.
Watching this from the 13" with 8GB RAM and 25GB SSD. I am loving it so far :) I use it for work (web and app development with some occasional graphics work) and it is great! It only turbos and gets loud when I am pushing the CPU with stuff like AI, or other CPU intensive tasks the apps have to perform. Then it quiets down quickly once it has finished the job. The lack of ports is not a big problem, I got myself a small dock that attaches to both thunderbolt inputs and gives me 1x thunderbolt, 3 usb ports and HDMI.(for my second monitor/old IMac) :)
@@KayvonGz Yeah well I got it as a special discount deal where only the 8GB RAM model was available, so it was either that or nothing. And since I don't really notice much of a bottleneck when it comes to the RAM so I don't really care. If I were to use the computer for say Graphics intensive work or a workflow where I had to multitask with lots of apps loaded I would have never gotten it. It's all about use cases and what you actually need. Makes no sense to buy a Ferrari if you are going to use it shop for groceries once in a while.
Alexander Presthus Trust me, 8GB is very low by today’s standards, and if you want to keep your laptop for more than 3 years like most Mac buyers, you’ll regret not getting 16GB.
@@KayvonGz Sure, it's not ideal, but having worked on and with computers my entire life I trust my ability to gauge my own needs well enough. I'm never gonna use it for heavy graphics work and RAM intensive tasks, and the type of work I do with it is largely CPU intensive. If the OS's become too RAM hungry all of a sudden I'll just stay at an older version of mac OS. Besides, I only need it to last 4-5 years before I am getting a new one anyway :)
@@KayvonGz What a load of shit, the way you make it seem is that 8GB of Ram wont even be able to load Facebook in 3 years time, which is not the case. Apple is great at utilizing ram, 8GB of ram will be sufficient for quite some time.
Really considering this machine with the 512gb storage option and 16 gb ram for future proofing. Though I am not sure whether or not to upgrade to the MBP edition with 4 USB ports...
I’m getting 2018 model with 512 GB SSD. It has more powerfull graphics, better cooling (2x fan), double the ports and can understand Hey Siri. No point of getting 2019 other than price.
I'm a 13-year-old saving 1,200 dollars for a MacBook, seems crazy but I really need it. The only fear I have is how small 13 inches is, is it too small??

It’s this one:
amzn.to/2lyD8fB Yes it works with iPad OS. You just need a USB A to USB c adapter for both the MacBook Pro and iPad.
Is it worth getting more than 256GB On the MacBook for faster SSD Speed or just buy a SSD drive to expand the storage?
It’s better to get 256gb then an external ssd imo

It depends, what do you plan to use your laptop for? What studies do you plan on pursuing? If you are planning to do programming, graphic design, video editing, photography, or something like that, go with the Pro. If you are doing a more liberal arts field and only plan to write papers, do research, need a longer battery life go with the air. I hope that was helpful.
Oh okay i’ll take it into consideration... thanks for you opinion it is really a lot of help... thumbs up!! 👍
Do I need 16gb RAM for like 4-5 years, normally using python and R and might few data work in the future. No games and video editing. just web browsing and some youtube videos
Jacob Dai no
I feel like what Apple should do is to make the more expensive MacBook Pros be equipped with 6 thunderbolt 3 ports and the baseline with 3 thunderbolt 3 ports (2 on the left, 1 on the right with the headphone jack)
i have the 2018 MB Air and I love it. It has the same Butterfly 3 Keyboard
Thanks again for the recommendation Bro! 💪🏼💪🏼
Hi Greg, great video. I needed a laptop with great specs for university so I’ll be picking this model up ready for September 👍🏽
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it when you get it, and thank you 🙏
do a comparison video of 13 mbp 2019 base model vs 13 mbp 2018 tb base model
Have you had any probs with using Adobe programs or doing video editing with this mac version?
Hey do you think they release a new mbp 13 inch in October?
Just got a 2019 13 inch with 512gb ssd ,16gb ram, and i5 quad core 2.4 ghz for $1849 Apple certified refurbished and it’s amazing for the price
Is it worth it to upgrade from windows? What are the main drawbacks?
Sulieman Ali you can use both, it’s very easy to dual boot windows on a MacBook
I’m personally running Windows 10 from a externally connected usbc nvme drive for when I need it
Thanks my guy! Great video!
Although I am not a fan of the butterfly keys, I would definately go for this one... However, since I got myself an iPad Pro 11“ a couple of weeks ago, I haven‘t used my ol’ mbp once. iPadOS is such a game changer that using MacOS now feels a bit like something of the past (and I love my MacOS!) It is very nice though that this mbp addition is available now.
I'm the same, although I went with the 12.9" iPad Pro 2018, got the 1TB for the extra storage & RAM. Although now that iPadOS is out in beta and coming soon in finished form, I guess I didn't really need that 1TB after all with external storage now a thing. Oh well. I love the iPad Pro and I find the 2018 models pretty much can satisfy most workflows. I don't use a computer at all now except the one I'm provided at work. I don't have to worry about T2 crashes or the Butterfly keyboard issues, the Apple Smart Keyboard Folio works incredibly well & even the wireless Magic Keyboard is great! And Apple Pencil Generation 2 has been a game-changing input device, I don't miss a mouse at all but we even have that added thanks to iPadOS. I could see myself going back to macOS once Apple brings their A-series chips to the Mac but for now, I'm happily working in a sole iPad universe!
I’m thinking about buying it for college, would the 8GB Ram , 128GB be enough for me or should I upgrade to 256GB??
i’m starting college, and I got 128 gb, because i just need microsoft office, web browsing/streaming, and 20 GB of music. i also have 200 gb icloud storage and i might get an external USB-C drive
I would recommend the 128GB because you are paying way to much by upgrading your storage through apple. I bought a 2TB samsung t5 ssd for 200$. If I would have bought the 1TB model of the macbook I would have paid an extra 700$. I never recommend getting anything above the base model storage when you can get ssd's for so cheap.
What's up with the storage being so low? 256GB? With all the high resolution pictures and videos nowadays, that will be gone in no time. Such a ripoff and a scam that Apple won't let you install your own ssd.
Agreed- I just installed a 1TB SSD in my 2012 MBP- and about half of it is consumed already. Just office work, nothing special. Wonder if the 2019 model allows a larger SSD. Pretty straightford on the 2012 unit.
External SSDs do exist ya know😂
This is the reason why I’ll trade in my 2017 MacBook Air. But I’ll hold the gun until next year when they finally update the keyboard. I’m not going to risk it on a Butterfly keyboard especially when I know that they’re going to replace it with new scissor mechanisms next year. I’m a writer so a keyboard is absolutely crucial. Hopefully they can keep this rate.
With Best Buy running the 2.4 256 model on sale for $1549, which would you recommend as the better buy or option?
You should buy it on the Apple education website because you can save 200$ and get a free pair of beats headphones
Go for the 256 2.4 if you can get it for $1549. You will also get two more thunderbolt 3 ports.
GregsGadgets thanks. I screwed up and its the 2.3 version from 2018. They have it right now for $1399 for the 2.3 256 mbpro from 2018. In your opinion is the newest 1.4 256 the better option which i can also get for $1399? Thank you.
Except for the fact that they made all the hardware built in together so no upgrading over time, so you are smart to get the best model for long term use which puts it more in the $2,000 range.
these macbook have got universal critical acclaim
It’s good.👍
Very helpful video. Subscribed
I’m having a hard time deciding which processor and memory I should get with the MacBook Pro
You don't need i7 because thermals won't allow it and you can get 16gb ram for cheaper on Apple education discount
This is the one
Yup 👍
Would the base model 13 inch MacBook Pro be good for mostly 1080p video editing and some 4K video editing in Final Cut Pro, making music in Logic Pro, photo editing and would It be able to use blender? I want a MacBook that can do all of this but I don’t have the money to buy a 15 inch MacBook Pro, so would the 13 inch with the integrated graphics be able to do all this?
Francis O I think it will work perfectly for does tasks. Maybe you should upgrade to 16GB RAM. In case you need more graphics power you can start saving for a eGPU for later.
Greg do you recommend the new 13 MacBook Pro or the 15 MacBook Pro
Keep it up man great video
I just got the base model with 128gb, should I return it and get the air with 256gb or cash out on either an external ssd or upgrade the pro to 256gb- a student who does not use video editing programmes photoshop etc but does run lots tabs and apps.
Running a lot tabs and apps is more RAM dependent than storage size. What could help with 128GB SSD is if you're also storing some media in the cloud and if you're good at maintenance (deleting old files and apps). Generally 256GB is minimum but 128GB is fine for some.
@@EmilJonssonReel i went to the apple store and storing stuff in the cloud isn't really something I can control they said the laptop will automatically move things across to the cloud when running low on storage- does increasing RAM improve very light gaming also? bare in mind I got the 128gb and within 2 days my system storage has grown to a ridiculous 26gb of storage and apple said I can't reduce it and it will only grow
From what you're describing (no photoshop, video editing or medium+ gaming) I would say 8GB RAM is probably fine. Don't have too many apps running at the same time if it starts to slow down.
You can absolutely control what's in the cloud (iCloud) but if you're not knowledgable in cloud storage (and not keen on paying for cloud upgrade) then packing more inside is probably prudent. Go for a 256GB upgrade, is my advice.
utan namn 256gb on air or pro?
@@CineScenes_ I thought you said you got the Pro? But either way.
just bought this MacBook Pro about 2 weeks ago and it is making a weird clicking noise when I open it, if I open it straight after closing it the laptop won't click but if I leave it for a short while then it will, some corners of the devise will also quietly click when I put it down on a hard surface, and just putting pressure on some parts of it will make it click! Also while opening the devise the hinge will occasionally click. Is this something I should be worried about?
128g of SSD tells me they don’t get it. Most phones have more memory than this “Pro” device. Why does Apple have to be assholes about this stuff?
You got some trippy background
😂
I bought the 13inch pro 8gb memory 128gb would I recommend for Final Cut Pro edit ??????
Can someone tell me how good gaming would be on here? Like is it even possible, or does it actually do a good job?
macbook pro entry level or matebook x pro?
I'm currently an architecture student and I'm looking to buy a new macbook pro would you recommend this 2019 basemodel upgraded with 16gm ram and 256 storage or just save up for the 2018 15 inch MacBook Pro? Thanks!
It's so stupid. This should've been out when the redesign was made initially. Now we're at the end of the cycle of the current design and they release a cheap (in Apple terms) quadcore MBP.
Agree. But i’m happy we at least, all these years later, have a return to the $1299 MacBook pro.
@@GregsGadgets Absolutely. I hope they will have a quadcore MBP in that range for their new models. It took me ages to decide whether it is worth it to get a MBP at that price point and I decided not to. Now, for my liking, it's too late in the product cycle as well as the not very reliable hardware keep me from the purchase.
Torn between MacBook Pro or Surface Laptop 3.. really want a MacBook but this keyboard debacle is putting me off.. my only thinking is I can buy from John Lewis with the 2 yr added care & as soon as it becomes discontinued in nearly 2 years I could take it back damaged and get the next model equivalent to my original spend.. 🤔🤔🤔
Would you upgrade Processor, RAM, or Storage if you could only upgrade 1? Im thinking about installing windows on it with bootcamp.
Loved the vid
Thank you 🙏
the problem is I plan on keeping my laptop more than 4 years.. so that 4yr replacement program is a joke for me. And hasn't the T2 chip been giving the Macs problems?? I feel it's really best to wait until a year after the upcoming redesign.. so we get the newest tech, with a year under it's belt to work out the kinks and if there are any new issues.
What if I don’t have apple care when I buy my MacBook 13inch pro ? Will they still fix the keyboard if any problems for free ? Please respond bro !! Or should I buy apple care. I never break any of my products so I never buy apple care..
They will fix your keyboard (free) for up to 4 years after the first retail sale of the unit.
Until the new keyboard comes out soon, it is a bad thing recommending any apple laptop don’t you think ??
zeus1117 I really don’t think the butterfly keyboard is actually that bad, I quite like it
Douglas Ceretta Hamerski I agree with you but it’s all based on opinions and experiences people have had
Christian Legault maybe because I’m one of the few people that really like extremely low travel keyboards. I get it, despite the fact that I like it, I still think they should change it cause the amount of people that likes it is probably very low, as most things in my life, I’m always the odd one 🙃
Yep, I like it! Should have 256gb storage tho.
MacBook Air is a joke with a dual core cpu in 2019. It’s not 2011 anymore
Agree on the storage. MacBook air is a different kind of computer. CPU is fine for the target audience.
I'm a law student who goes a lot on netflix, youtube... which one should I get?
@@davso91 Air, if you want to replace it in 2-3 years because it's too slow for newer applications and Mac OS. Pro, if you want to keep it for longer.
There is no adapters with "bunch of USB C ports", so far there is no USB C hub released yet, so in fact, you can connect only 2 USB C devices and no more, no matter what adapter you use
Between a Mac AIR and a Pro, i think this is the best choice!!
!
Remember Mac Pro and MacBook Pro are 2 different things
Bring out the entry level with quadcore without a touchbar
there isn’t one
Why overheating issue is not mentioned here? Just send mine back. It's a lap heating machine that's well overpriced!
My daughter has the higher end I-5 model and we have started to have the keyboard issue
I have a 256gb 11 inch iPad Pro and I am wondering wether I should change it for this laptop. I’m a college student. What would you say?
I’m in the same boat and I bought this. Sometimes you need an actual computer’s OS
does filevault affect read/write speeds? and can you tell use temperatures and noise?
no not for me, and I have a mid 2012 MBP 15 inch Mojave
Yes, it’s a powerful budget machine but beware of the single fan that this MacBook has. I bought one yesterday, but am worried about what it will be in the long term usage. If consistently high performance with just one fan would it break very soon?
Francis Yan take it back to the store and just ask
can someone please help me choose the right macbook pro for deejay production, i found a second hand 13 macbook pro (2015) i.7 / 3.1Ghz 8G RAM 256 (SSD) for about 900$ or the new 2019 Basic model ?! which one is more powerful ? the 1.4Ghz i5 Quadcore or 3.1Ghz/ i7 dualcore ?
what do u offer 13" lpddr4x 3733mhz 16gb ram 512ssd 2ghz i5 10th macbook pro or 16" ddr4 2666 mhz 512 ssd 2.6 ghz i7 9th macbook pro ?
Hey Greg was thinking my local store Microcenter has one of these refurbished for 599.99. Do you think it’s worth the price? Also they have the Mid 2018 MacBook Pro 15.4 for 799.99 refurbished. Looking for to give as a gift. Thanks Greg.
But 2019 MacBook pro 13 have four thunderbolt three ports and 2.4 ghz
Bijoy Deori , not the cheapest base model nope
@@pieceofpie5402 and 2.4 GHz is better than the 1.4ghz ?? Or it is not.
Should i get the 128gb version with a additional SSD storage?
Watching this from the 13" with 8GB RAM and 25GB SSD. I am loving it so far :) I use it for work (web and app development with some occasional graphics work) and it is great! It only turbos and gets loud when I am pushing the CPU with stuff like AI, or other CPU intensive tasks the apps have to perform. Then it quiets down quickly once it has finished the job. The lack of ports is not a big problem, I got myself a small dock that attaches to both thunderbolt inputs and gives me 1x thunderbolt, 3 usb ports and HDMI.(for my second monitor/old IMac) :)
Alexander Presthus I lol’d at 8gb ram.
@@KayvonGz Yeah well I got it as a special discount deal where only the 8GB RAM model was available, so it was either that or nothing. And since I don't really notice much of a bottleneck when it comes to the RAM so I don't really care. If I were to use the computer for say Graphics intensive work or a workflow where I had to multitask with lots of apps loaded I would have never gotten it. It's all about use cases and what you actually need. Makes no sense to buy a Ferrari if you are going to use it shop for
groceries once in a while.
Alexander Presthus Trust me, 8GB is very low by today’s standards, and if you want to keep your laptop for more than 3 years like most Mac buyers, you’ll regret not getting 16GB.
@@KayvonGz Sure, it's not ideal, but having worked on and with computers my entire life I trust my ability to gauge my own needs well enough. I'm never gonna use it for heavy graphics work and RAM intensive tasks, and the type of work I do with it is largely CPU intensive. If the OS's become too RAM hungry all of a sudden I'll just stay at an older version of mac OS. Besides, I only need it to last 4-5 years before I am getting a new one anyway :)
@@KayvonGz What a load of shit, the way you make it seem is that 8GB of Ram wont even be able to load Facebook in 3 years time, which is not the case. Apple is great at utilizing ram, 8GB of ram will be sufficient for quite some time.
Just Got Mine Todayℹ️
Does THIS MACBOOK COME WITH FINAL CUT PRO X? AND LOGIC PRO?
StylizedNXIV no, but you can pay for them to come pre-installed
Yee I bought one of those and it arrives on Wednesday
Don't forget that even with the low end ones you do have the eGPU option :)
Yup. That is always a possibility. One of the reasons im thankful for apple always having thunderbolt 3 on their laptops.
Absolutely!
Really considering this machine with the 512gb storage option and 16 gb ram for future proofing. Though I am not sure whether or not to upgrade to the MBP edition with 4 USB ports...
I got the 4 thunderbolt Port model with 16 gb ram and 512gb, if you want when it comes I can give you a mini review
I’m getting 2018 model with 512 GB SSD. It has more powerfull graphics, better cooling (2x fan), double the ports and can understand Hey Siri. No point of getting 2019 other than price.
sova I got a refurbed 2018 15” in November and it’s been great. Tons of performance.
Are they any good for video editing?
How quiet is it on non CPU intensive tasks?
I have the 2019 13 inch MacBook Pro with 4 ports
I'm a 13-year-old saving 1,200 dollars for a MacBook, seems crazy but I really need it. The only fear I have is how small 13 inches is, is it too small??
