ZONEofTECH I’m a videographer, and I’m going for the 15 because right now I’m editing on a MacBook AIR! It’s a nightmare but I’m almost able to afford it!
Can I ask, did you all get the base model or did you upgrade the memory? I’m thinking of getting the 1TB SSD option but it’s so expensive. But I have a lot of iTunes music & movie content. Thoughts on what I should do?
The space between the touchbar and screen on the 15" isn't quite wasted, since that's where the heatpipes go under, so that area adds some thermal dissipation as well as separates the hottest part from your fingers.
I do wonder how many 15"s sell in comparison, the 13" beating it by many times over would not be surprising. Hopefully they don't cull the 15, as they're prone to honing in products like that i.e eliminating the 17.
@@tipoomaster the 15 inch obviously sells a lot less (unfortunately), because a lot of people don't want to spend that much, and most students them go for the 13 inch for the portability too. I think mainly enthusiasts and people that *really* need the horsepower buy the 15 inch.
The 15" only weighs as much as the pre-retina 13"s which is a bit crazy (and why I laugh when people say the 15" is too heavy to carry around, it wasn't that long ago 5-7 pound laptops were the norm in the C2D days), but I'm not sure about saying it's the most portable 15" on the market. What about the 15" Gram?
@@Alecexo Yeah, and I personally think that the design on the 15 inch is much more robust and appealing (imo), I just like the big speaker grills lol. And I like the hexacore i7s and ddr4 ram etc.
I purchased a MacBook Pro 13 2018 with an upgraded hard drive of hdd with two USB ports. I love it. The display is amazing and the keyboard is perfect. I may not have the Touch Bar, however, for $750 - I think this refirbished item is worth it.
They don’t upgrade the baseline model, I don’t want the touch bar because it distracts me from the display. Plus, it’s more expensive than the version with function keys.
I bought the 15 inch and I mainly use it as a desktop replacement, that's slightly portable. I like how I'm able to move my laptop around the house. However I don't bring it to school though because it's a bit too big. I would go with the MacBook Air for school and the 15 inch as a slightly portable desktop replacement.
Dude! Thank you for making this video! It really helps people who are on the fence, you would be a better salesman than anyone in any brick and mortar Apple Store. I really appreciate how in-depth this comparison is. The real world examples are killer. That's the key comparison and I'm glad that you focused on that.
People always decided to choose the best Macbook pro based on their job functionality, but I also want a computer that stay with me more than 3-4 years, and for that perspective the 15 inch will be my pick.
Man, I liked you video, as always, but the 15" model doesn't have a hands down better screen. Although the resolution is higher, the size is different, so the actual ppi is lower in the 15''. Not verysignificantly but I think that you should have mentioned that. Maybe the only thing missing from your video.
Apple should let the iPad Pro run mac os mojave along with iOS 12! That would let it replace the 12 inch MacBook and MacBook air (apple’s worst macbooks)
You just answered yourself why that would never happen. Apple is not a fan of gimmicky for the sake of gimmicky of all things either. Apple didn't even made a laptop with touchscreen yet. So stop daydreaming with your 2 OSes devices.
Funny that I was at the Apple store just this week comparing the two, I want to spend the money the 13" cost but I need the 15" LOL! Since I don't a desktop and this would be my 'daily user' and I don't need to take it out of the office more then couple of times a year the extra screen real estate of the 15" is a godsend.
I did buy a MacBook Air 13” 256GB last spring....and I‘m quite happy with my choice. 🙂 I use my MacBook Air for simple graphic and web design with Photoshop and Coda 2 and other pretty basic stuff - like Netflix, email, internet browsing, working on documents, etc. - so I don’t need a super-powerful machine, nor do I care how bright and colorful my screen is; I also don’t have 2-3k (plus other $100-150 bucks for the dongles) to splurge on a laptop....and I wanted the ports. In short I’m fairly an average user....and for all people like me who want a Mac - which is the majority - the MacBook Air will be more than enough to satisfy their needs.
Doly P I do photo editing on the MacBookAir, though only very basic one - for example, I edit my photos in Pixelmator instead of Photoshop (which I have but use for my graphic design hobby) - and for what I need to do, the MacBook Air suits me quite fine. :)
I study Japanese at university and I use the 13" for when I'm in lectures and a desktop for when I'm at home. Because I carry so many books (dictionaries, vocabulary books, history books etc) the 13" is perfect for me.
Re: the 15” model ... with that extra space on either side of the keyboard it’s too bad they didn’t take the opportunity to endow the model with a PROPER keyboard, I.e., with a NUMERIC KEYPAD. C’mon Apple, get with the program. Sheesh!
I've tested both of the computers and it depends if you're getting the i9 or i7 for the 15 inch. Otherwise I didn't notice any difference, except that the 15 inch is a lot faster when it comes to heavier usage.
@@vtphan2012 The i9 becomes hotter than the i7. Mostly because it's a lot more powerful. IMO it's kind of a waste getting the i9 in a laptop because it will throttle, even after the update. Any laptop as thin as this fit with an i9 will throttle and get hot.
Good video buddy, just ordered the 15inch i7 with 32GB RAM, looking forward to it, it will be upgrading my mid 2014 MacBook bro, should see a pretty big different. Keep the great videos coming, your content is great. All the best!
Nice video. Best Mac Book Pro comparison video i've seen. Thanks. If i'm using Lightroom & Photoshop daily and looking for a long term use, which one should i buy? I currently gave a 13 inch Mac Book Pro mid 2014 version with 16gb and i really find sometimes its slow down my photoshop. I really liked 13 inch, but at the same time interested in 32gb ram. So i'm confused.
If Apple bring back the “17 and give the option to crank up the fan speed to reduce throttle and a couple of USB ports, and 3200/64gb ram, Apple will RULE the world of pc!
About the fan part, it isn't too hard to down a free piece of software from the internet that allows you to set your own fan rules. Not the most elegant but quite easy.
I got to say I love the width of the 13 inch where your keyboard are.. I just want a 15-inch wider screen so that the keyboard portion is wider to but not longer
Paul Williams not well. I’ve upgraded the hard drive to an SSD and the max ram it can hold is 8mb. I have also changed he battery. I have now given up buying replacement parts. Apple have said the Mojave update is not compatible with my MacBook which is understandable.
I'm still on my mid 2010 as well, and getting a 13" this week. Bit like you - have replaced the hard drive, mag safe charger, and maxed the ram. Amazingly, still going on the original battery - but barely.
I had mid year 2010 or early 2011. Mine just died last week. I think the graphic have problem. Im looking for new one. But idk if i should wait for the 2019 oen or buy 2018 15.
what about if you're a videographer who travels a reasonable amount? my main computer when at home is a 5k iMac and currently using a 2013 13" MacBook when travelling so need to update it but cant decide if the performance of the 15 is worth sacrificing the portability. The 13" is great on flights for example as even in economy you easily have enough space to edit on the little tables.
I got the 13-inch version and upgraded the memory and processor. I produce 1080p videos that do not exceed three minutes in final length. Upgraded from a 2011 version, and it's blazing fast for me. Love it!
denniszenanywhere ah thank you someone who says the 15 inch is good for carrying. I was scared since my bag right now during high school is messing up my posture because of the heaviness of my books. College shouldn’t be a problem because I’ll only be carrying one book + my MacBook for each class.
I just. bought the 13inch MacBook Pro. its fantastic. ...great. video Daniel. I use mine for everything from social calendar to my work calendar I am a huge TH-camr. and watch a lot of various things from tutorials to music and dance ...have uploaded a couple horror videos I am really enjoying my new computer..I did have the MacBook now have upgraded in power. and screen realestate
Awesome video, Daniel, thank you! Could you maybe do a comparison between the i7 and i9 next? But like both with 32 GB memory and same gpu would be great, if possible. I’ve been looking for such a comparison but wasn’t able to find one so far. Cheers! :)
I used to own a 2015 iMac. Being a middle school teacher, I enjoyed the large screen for having multiple apps open for planning, research, emails, etc. Would you recommend the 13 or 15 inch, or should I wait for the new iMac, hopefully in September?
All depends on how your using it. the 13" Macbook Air is perfect for my needs for basic programming, and working with data. I love having a magnetic power adapter, and actual USB ports. Also, I run Windows on it. ;)
The 15 have a better design. the 13 with the Touch Bar in real life is not that great design wise. It's not a wast of space, the design breath more on the 15.
Thank you for quality content, please keep up the good work. It would be amazing if you could test the Razer Core v2 with the 15" MacBook Pro. Thanks again.
So would you buy the 13 ? I hear too many stories about speakers problems, firmware problems, etc. is it solved already? not sure why people online say you should not get it.
🤣🤣 argh the decision is not being made any easier 🤣🤣 great video though, Daniel. Keep ‘em coming. Do you have any thoughts on the best NAS drives and external HDDs? With external HDDs I’m specifically talking about USB C/Thunderbolt 3. Cheers, A.
13 or 15?

13“ cause it is more portable 💻
The comparison I was looking for. Cheers mate!

Wish you a lot of fun and productivity with it :)

great job, so many videos are not as concise and informative - like your style - very efficient and easy to understand quickly

True but I don't have the space for a desktop.

How many gig is used up by MacOS out of the box? How many gigs are actually available?
Around 230gb is available after all software's and macos and you can delete useless softwares

No mention of the speakers crackling? Is the keyboard issue fixed? These things are holding me back from purchasing one. 🤔
Keyboard and speakers are 45% better than last year
All depends on how your using it. the 13" Macbook Air is perfect for my needs for basic programming, and working with data. I love having a magnetic power adapter, and actual USB ports. Also, I run Windows on it. ;)
Definitely 13 inch with Touch Bar for high school takes up less of space on the table especially if you sit next to multiple people in one table.

which one is best for pentesting purpose both for web and mobile ?
