I know that feel bro, I bought a wii when I was 10 with my own money for christmas an I felt so excited when I gave the money. Now I keep all my money and wait till I get enough to buy something, you learn how to take care of things and how much you worked and waited to buy it make you learn how important is to be nice with your things.
This brings back so many memories! I got one of these for Christmas 2012 after virtually begging my parens to get one and it was my first new computer, my second ever after a 2005 IBM thinkcenter pentium 4. The thing was amazing and got me through a good proportion of my life. I still have it, although the screen is broken, but I'm going to get that fixed. Thing's still running an updated verssion of mountain lion, with the old iMovie 11 and everything. Even that's so different from how mac os is now.
i got the Macbook air 13" 2012 base model and it is really fast and runs Minecraft perfectly. it even runs some other, more "hardcore" games, like Assassins Creed 2, though not as well, but playable on max settings, and pretty smooth on lower settings. note that Assassins Creed 2 is a pretty old game though. Im happy with this laptop, and it should be more than enough for what you need it for.
Im getting this 2012 MacBook air in 2018 *used* I already have a gaming PC for gaming and other stuff..I wanna buy the MacBook for school work and just bit TH-cam.. oh and it will my first Apple laptop any suggestions?
You cannot say that the portability is remotely close on the two units. I realize the price is $600, but adding an SSD will cost a pretty penny extra. The portability of this kind of unit is really hard to quantify in a dollar amount, and I don't think any amount of extras would make up for it to a lot of people. For someone like myself, having a laptop with you for about 10 hours per day, 3 pounds extra is a significant difference which is worth the small premium.
I own a thinkpad. I own two, actually, and I'm really not fond of them. I'm not terribly fond of apple either, but I get special hookups to both lenovo and apple. I'm tired of the poor build on my thinkpad convertible tablet, and how slow it's gotten over 2 years, while my friends with macbooks 2-4 years old are still running strong.
I think a 13" inch is sufficient. I have a 13" MacBook (White). I have been eyeing up the Air for a while; I love how slim it is. I'm also really interested in getting a Pro, it seems more powerful than what I have. I agree with you on the price for the 15". It's pretty ridiculous. Over 2 grand for a laptop. I would wait to get a refurbished one. I have two Macs that are refurbished, and they are just as great as getting one brand new, for hundreds of bucks cheaper.
Can't decide between this or a windows ultrabook. I'm not an Apple fanboy, and I don't have an iphone, an imac, or an ipad, so the whole Apple ecosystem doesn't appeal to me. I'd essentially just be using it as a tool for school productivity office tasks, as well as video streaming and browsing, I have a PC desktop for gaming, and I have an android so all the "cloud" services I need will work with Macs OR Windows laptops because both can download chrome anyway. So ultrabook or MBA?
Hey! Thanks for the great high quality video! As always, this is a great channel!! I was wondering if you could do a game test on the Mac...! Diablo III is a huge game and with all the new specs on the MacBook Pros, could you do a demo on how the game perform on the different models?!? I would greatly appreciate it!!!
Yeah please compare it to the old and tell us if the improvements are worth buying it! :) By the way, my sub has been canceled o.O I was shocked when I realized there is a new vid by u and I haven't been reminded... Anyway I've subbed again! :) Can't wait for more details on the new MacBook air!
If you don't need much connectivity, (like FireWire) or DVD, I think Air is your best selection... It's light, and the performance wasn't too different from Pro... May be just RAM that less, but you can upgrade it.. But, if you care much about DVD and FireWire, then you should buy Pro...
I just ordered one of these last night and I'm hoping it was the right choice.. I'm in my second semester of year ten and need it for research for assignments, twitter / facebook / youtube / tumblr, etc.. but I guess anything is better than my old laptop which worked like it was made in the stone age. Haha.
For editing photos and a litle bit of gaming ( World of Tanks , Euro Truck Simulator ) what would you choose ? Mackbook pro , or air ? please respond !
I am thinking of getting a mac... it would be great if u can do a comparison (speed,tech etc) with ur other mac's ( i am thinking if i should get a upgraded macair or macpro... i am sure many others would like to see that too :) thanks
The old Macbook air which the Zen has alot better specs, also SSDs are used for Boot drives NOT for storage you only need 64GB for a Ubuntu or Fedora Install with plenty of room. Also my commute is take the buss to school walk to my classes around campus then walk to the buss and too work. I have a hefty commute and that laptop is light as a bird and has a very nice screen.
Since the new Mac pros don't have the disc drive anymore, would it be better to just buy a Mac air and deck it out with tons of upgrades???? Or should I just get the 15" retina pro
He got it in late 2011, and he plays a lot of games on it. I would have recommended a better laptop for around the same price, but he bought it without informing me.
Were do you get the money to afford all this stuff? I understand you have a salary from youtube but it cant support all the technology you are buying. nice video.
Both of them will give you what you want, but the MacBook Air has a better integrated graphics processor than Windows ultrabooks "at the moment". So if you're looking to do a little bit of minor gaming on the go, then I recommend the MBA, but if you're not then I recommend the Windows Ultrabook.
Was the keyboard layout changed across all regions? If so I prefer my 2011 model because A: IvyBridge Temps/Battery usage and B: Keyboard, only features I'd like on my Air are the HD facetime and USB 3.0 functions.
luckyyyy...... should i get a mac 13 inch or 11... with a mac i would web surf and edit videos... connect my capture card.... and also how much memory... i wanna get 256gb but is it necessary??? i would get less but what if i run out.....??? plz reply
I wonder what Apple has planned for the future. There are continuity flaws with their current rate of upgrades... How will they improve the MacBook Air, apart from bringing in better internal specs. Any thinner, and they'll have to ditch USB.
@kikohard thanks! And when you say heavy gaming what do you mean? Im by no means a big time gamer but I'd like some games like GTA San Andreas from the app store. Would thy be ok for the air? + I do photography and edit photos but that's it. Would the 256gb air be ok for these things? Thank you
The love is mutual... goes out to all the supporters.
Keep up the great unboxings man, I think they're the best on the Internet when it comes to all-around unboxings.
I know that feel bro, I bought a wii when I was 10 with my own money for christmas an I felt so excited when I gave the money.

I near passed out when I saw this, I etch the keynote and I didn't think anyone would has this yet, thank you do much ( best unboxer on TH-cam
My wife has the 13inch MacBook Air. Primarily for school. It's very clean looking and not to mention SUPER FAST!
You have great style, good speech and a very smooth video. I will now watch more videos from you.
Just got mine yesterday!! So excited and i love it!
I almost passed out thinking this was an unboxing of the new MBP with Retina display but awesome unboxing anyway! Keep it up!
I wake up everymorning just waiting on new videos !
Sweet Lou.. I KNEW you would do an unbox of the new MacBooks. I wasn't wrong :D
literally just bought one!! i am so excited!
You have the best reviews on TH-cam :)
i got the Macbook air 13" 2012 base model and it is really fast and runs Minecraft perfectly. it even runs some other, more "hardcore" games, like Assassins Creed 2, though not as well, but playable on max settings, and pretty smooth on lower settings. note that Assassins Creed 2 is a pretty old game though.

there so was much hype for this unboxing
will get a brand new air tomorrow from the office, Awesome!
got one of these. The solid state drive is super fast. apps like calendar open in like a second but apps like photoshop open in about 5-6 seconds.
0:00 An Amazing TH-camr was born
Yes
This is not his first video though..
Falcon Lover : I’d say this is his first high quality vid that hinted into the style we see today
When I was 14, i bought a powerbook, the latest model, with my own money. It felt so amazing.
Im getting this 2012 MacBook air in 2018 *used* I already have a gaming PC for gaming and other stuff..I wanna buy the MacBook for school work and just bit TH-cam.. oh and it will my first Apple laptop any suggestions?
Ordered my Macbook Air 13" with 8gb RAM, 2.0GHz, and 512 SSD... Should arrive next week based on Apples time estimate. CANT WAIT!!!!
Nice unboxing. I really can't choose between this one or the 15" Macbook pro. The 15" models are just so expensive:(
Awesome, this is why i love unboxtherapy ;), always getting the latest and greatest products first.

Best review iv seen yet
I have an early 2011 13-inch macbook pro and I'm thinking of selling it and getting the early 2012 13-inch macbook air. Ugh so tempting.
I'm getting mine for school on Monday. I want it tomorrow!!
I own a thinkpad. I own two, actually, and I'm really not fond of them. I'm not terribly fond of apple either, but I get special hookups to both lenovo and apple. I'm tired of the poor build on my thinkpad convertible tablet, and how slow it's gotten over 2 years, while my friends with macbooks 2-4 years old are still running strong.
Watching this on my Macbook Air 13" 2012. It is a magnificent notebook and i highly recommend it to everyone :)
I think a 13" inch is sufficient. I have a 13" MacBook (White). I have been eyeing up the Air for a while; I love how slim it is.

I would wait to get a refurbished one. I have two Macs that are refurbished, and they are just as great as getting one brand new, for hundreds of bucks cheaper.
Need help! Which is better to purchase? This new macbook air or last year's 13" macbook pro?!?!? Please reply. Cheers
Who is the best unboxer/reviewer on the web??? Lew is. Awesome video bro, keep it up.
Should I get this or wait for the 2013 Air? Will the 2013 be far more expensive?
no silly, he should give the macbook air away not just in the comments he will do a whole other video
Can't decide between this or a windows ultrabook. I'm not an Apple fanboy, and I don't have an iphone, an imac, or an ipad, so the whole Apple ecosystem doesn't appeal to me.

Excited to see the new mac book pro getting unboxed

Just walked home from my 2 hour maths exam, no better way to start the day than with an ice cold Monster Energy & UnboxTherapy.
Yeah please compare it to the old and tell us if the improvements are worth buying it! :)
By the way, my sub has been canceled o.O
I was shocked when I realized there is a new vid by u and I haven't been reminded...
Anyway I've subbed again! :)
Can't wait for more details on the new MacBook air!
sure. Its nice, but I'm excited for the Retina Macbook Pro.
dude, when are you going to unbox the MacBook pro retina display?
Nice video.
Best ultrabook on the market right. I just got mine.
Lew you got almost everything you want you're living life to the fullest
yay! i have got mine Macpro Retina here in Australia, waiting time was just a few hours.
Great vid bro! You should unbox an Alienware aurora r4! I would love to see what comes in the box.
would u recommend this to a highschool student who does a little bit of gaming and photo editing?
finally a 13" unboxing. Should I get the basic 13 MBA or basic MBP
Om getting one in a few days. Was gonna buy an iPad butbthis makes more sense to me. Very portable and can do much more.
If you don't need much connectivity, (like FireWire) or DVD, I think Air is your best selection... It's light, and the performance wasn't too different from Pro... May be just RAM that less, but you can upgrade it.. But, if you care much about DVD and FireWire, then you should buy Pro...
I am gonna have to pick one of these up i've resisted for so long.
I just ordered one of these last night and I'm hoping it was the right choice.. I'm in my second semester of year ten and need it for research for assignments, twitter / facebook / youtube / tumblr, etc.. but I guess anything is better than my old laptop which worked like it was made in the stone age. Haha.
is upgrading the base model worth it?
Should I still go with the 2011 model if it's the cheaper and quicker choice for me? How much better is this one for XCode?
For editing photos and a litle bit of gaming ( World of Tanks , Euro Truck Simulator ) what would you choose ? Mackbook pro , or air ? please respond !
can you do a review on this? like test it with video editing and all the stuff that the last gen had a hard time with?
I am thinking of getting a mac... it would be great if u can do a comparison (speed,tech etc) with ur other mac's ( i am thinking if i should get a upgraded macair or macpro... i am sure many others would like to see that too :) thanks

You should try and get your hands on the MacBook pro and unbox that.
Since the new Mac pros don't have the disc drive anymore, would it be better to just buy a Mac air and deck it out with tons of upgrades???? Or should I just get the 15" retina pro
He got it in late 2011, and he plays a lot of games on it. I would have recommended a better laptop for around the same price, but he bought it without informing me.
Were do you get the money to afford all this stuff? I understand you have a salary from youtube but it cant support all the technology you are buying. nice video.
I have a question, if there anyway I can make it shiny gold? (not doing it myself obviously)
I wish I could have one like this at least a 2010.....
NIce videooo I loveyour videos
I am so glad I found you.
god these videos are relaxing
RAM is random access memory which temporarily stores the processing data. Generally, the greater the size of the RAM, the better.
really like the dolly part after the intro
Is it able to video edit and render at a decent time and not be slowing down the computer?
Nice laptop, although price is steep for portability and storage
Both of them will give you what you want, but the MacBook Air has a better integrated graphics processor than Windows ultrabooks "at the moment". So if you're looking to do a little bit of minor gaming on the go, then I recommend the MBA, but if you're not then I recommend the Windows Ultrabook.
Just bought it and waiting for its arrival
Was the keyboard layout changed across all regions? If so I prefer my 2011 model because A: IvyBridge Temps/Battery usage and B: Keyboard, only features I'd like on my Air are the HD facetime and USB 3.0 functions.
Go for the iMac. If you are gonna do video editing, get a PC which is a bit more powerful. And the iMac is perfect for video editing.
How much does it cost?I want to buy it.
i live in greece and i thank you because u buy stuff i cant afford !!!!
It has an SSD, so basically this is what makes it faster because it reads from a chip instead of reading off of a HHD disc.
Hey lew, i was wondering if the 8gb ram would make a big speed performance bump compared to the standard 4gb.. both 13in base model
luckyyyy...... should i get a mac 13 inch or 11... with a mac i would web surf and edit videos... connect my capture card.... and also how much memory... i wanna get 256gb but is it necessary??? i would get less but what if i run out.....??? plz reply
I'm a college student? Is there enough space in this air for me? Is it too flimsy thst it might break in my backpack??? Thank you!
Lol the "paperwork"
0:59
you're unboxing alot of products man I love your videos and all but you gotta giveaway somethin to your loyal subscribers ;)
13 inch Pro or 13 inch air? Please help as I need to buy one soon
Is it good in gaming?
Will the iMac and Mac mini be getting a upgrade soon ?
I wonder what Apple has planned for the future. There are continuity flaws with their current rate of upgrades... How will they improve the MacBook Air, apart from bringing in better internal specs. Any thinner, and they'll have to ditch USB.
@kikohard thanks! And when you say heavy gaming what do you mean? Im by no means a big time gamer but I'd like some games like GTA San Andreas from the app store. Would thy be ok for the air? + I do photography and edit photos but that's it. Would the 256gb air be ok for these things? Thank you
As always. Amazing Video Really glad I got my hands on the New Mac book air :P
im 11 yrs old.... n im getting this MacBook Air 13 2012 128GB!!
gosh im so exciting
OMG im getting this computer soon!!! So excited to switch from windows to apple! IM used to apple tho.
Finally, Been waiting all night lol
Why'd you get the 13" model? Why not the 11" for a change. If i do recall, you already have the previous generation 13" Air.
How do you upgrade to 8GB RAM? Do you have the option to do this when purchasing macbook air or do you agave to manually upgrade yourself?
should i get this or 13" macbook pro?
i was hoping for retina screens across all the macbooks. ill just have to hang on to my macbook ancient just a little bit more.
Should i get a mac or an iphone 5? Plz respond
i ordered mine on black friday :3 im so excited
Should I buy this one or a mac mini (when ivy bridge is on it) with i7, 128gb ssd and 16 memory?
Hey man, can I ask where you got that cool sound effect at the start of the video? at around 6/7 seconds in?
Another good video !! big thumbs up !!!
@MrUnboxer103 he already did go back through some of his older videos and you'll find it. It's like desk tour or room tour or something.
