    The new 13" base MacBook Pro is extremely underrated compared to what Apple's spec sheet shows!
    We cracked the bottom case open and took a look at what's different between these two models. We compared the speakers, SSD speed and performance to see if the $1799 model is worth the extra cash!
    For performance, we tested various benchmarks and performance tests, including video editing with Final Cut Pro and photo editing with Lightroom Classic.

      2018 2,3ghz Macbook Pro 8gb with 512gb SSD for 1649$?

      Hi guys,
      Thanks so much for sharing this video! I'm wondering what is the performance difference between 8gb and 16gb of ram in professional video editing. I have been trying to get some info on that matter since quite some time and couldn't find any comprehensive report, just random opinions with no foundation. I am struggling between buying the 13 inch MBP 2019 with 256gb SSD or 16gb of ram.

  • @mraravind1111
    @mraravind1111 5 ปีที่แล้ว +96

    The 1799 MacBook has the following reasons for the extra $300
    1) More ports (4 ports vs 2 on the other model)
    2) Faster SSD (Both read and write speeds)
    3) Two fans instead of 1 in the other
    4) Better speakers with backfiring subwoofer set up.
    5) 5 to 9% performance boost.
    I think it is equally worth the consideration.
    Note, the base model battery lasts an additional 2 hours. Also, It has negligibly larger 58.2 watt-hour battery 🔋when compared to 58.0 on the higher end.

    How much performance is increased by going from 8GB of ram to 16GB?

    • @anxiety.infected.almond
      @anxiety.infected.almond 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      RAM, (Random Access Memory) is used for apps running in the background, so 8 is only for watching videos and web browsing or watching Netflix. Anything else I suggest going for 16.

    • @anxiety.infected.almond

    Hi an amazing video creator with crisp information,
    I need your opinion, as I have purchased a 13" 8GB RAM, 256GB storage with 2.4GHz quad core model.
    I installed Davinci resolve 15 and used it for an hour or so. I observed some serious heating issue at the back of laptop with a pungent smell.
    Please clarify that, whether I am pushing the specification beyond limits or laptop must be looked into.
    Thanks and wish you luck,

    Great video! I've love to know how much SSD performance improves in the base model when you opt for 512GB, 1TB etc... It's still fast by most standards but it's disappointing to see something that's been compromised for the sake of affordability! The sound is noticeably tinnier in the entry level model but that's not exactly a deal-breaker for me as I'd expect it still to be better than most laptops. It would be interesting to compare eGPU performance between the two machines and carry out more detailed real-world battery drain tests when watching video, browsing the web or gaming/editing.

    I was waiting for a youtube video with this comparison. Before watching it I thought it was totally not worth it the upgrade to the 1799 dollars but now mmmm I don't know, I think it might be. 128 SSD should not even be released in a pro segment so for me that is a NO. Then apple decide to be smart and charge 200 extra dollars for the 256 GB SSD version lol, this is a joke in 2019. So starting from 1499 price point we have the following differences between the 2 versions:
    1 - Better CPU (I know it is not much better but it still counts)
    2 - 4 Thunderbolts ports vs 2
    3 - Better sound quality (very easy to notice the speakers has better sound quality on the 1799 version)
    4 - Better thermal management (2 fans vs only 1 fan in a such a small form factor)
    5 - Better Integrated GPU.
    6 - The battery differences I don't know but I would not be surprised if it is because of downgrade as far as quality.
    All that for 300 bucks. Mmmmmm I'm not sure it does not look too bad at all. I can see apple really knows how to differentiate their product line.

    I use the base model, its amazing. Literally never sluggish, also the reason the SSD was faster is because of the array method they use; unlike a regular ssd, the 128GB model has 2 64GB ssds configured in ... something like a raid 0 I think, so the 256GB models have 4 64GB ssds configured like that, making it a lot faster
