A lot of people complain about the prices of mac's......but you have to realize that Apple brings you the best all around hardware and research money can buy. Plus you will never lose money when you go to sell it. Unlike windows laptops which loses all it's value the moment you leave the store.
jankof76 exactly -_-. I wanted a mac but i looked on ebay and a mid 2008 macbook AIR costs around 500 British Pounds. That's around 700 American dollars.
+jankof76 "Best all around hardware" okay for 800 EUROS i could get a AMD R9 380 a AMD FX-8350 8gb RAM 750 watt for the power and just 100-200 euros more and you got mouse keyboard and monitor so yeah of course macs are always "better"
This is my absolute favorite computer I've ever had because it does everything so nicely but actually has many ports that I use often unlike the recent models.
I've been watching your channel for about 6 months now. And I have to say you're really good with your descriptions of different products. You cover everything possible and you make it sound simple. So thank you for your videos and I'm looking forward to the next 6 months :-)
***** Yeah I realize that it keeps getting better but I'm not going to wait another year to buy it because then you will be perpetually waiting for the next one it always gets better :)
Yeah, tech is always getting better. But Apple only REDESIGNS the MacBook Pro about every 3 years, and in between those 3 years they only come out with minor tweaks, like different memory of different processor.
Perfect laptop: This beauty with 16 GB Ram, 500 SSD, Dedicated graphics, and running Windows via bootcamp because I just can't get used to Mavericks or Mac OS in general.
Gabriel Laurenzi Is it not more a mental decision to spend that much on a macbook just to run windows on it when you can get any windows machine for far less than 1000 and with ridiculously large memory on now?
Gabriel Laurenzi PS I love Apple and want to change to the MacBook so I'm not a defender of Windows lol. I just mean for someone who *does* want to use Windows lol.
To make it simple, it's basically something that allows several applications to be open at one time without the computer lagging or getting slow. The more RAM the more applications u can have open at one time. Hope this helped.
Nice video, Mike. I think I am getting one for Christmas!! xD I also love how you put a lot of thought into the video. Most people just say. Here is an unboxing. Bla Bla Bla. Then done. No item desc. Your channel really puts it over the top.
Omg I acc feel so sad watching these type of videos cause I'm dying for one of these bit my mum won't buy me one lol but I love to see how they work out then save up my own money and buy one :)
I know this was posted 10 months ago BUT actually on april space grey gold and silver macbooks are coming out but they are 12 inch' there is not much info about it but we know that new macbook is coming in 2015
This is $699.99 refurbished with a 12 month warranty from “Decluttr” with 512GB SSD + 16GB RAM... that’s the price of the Mac Mini with M1 and 8GB RAM/256GB SSD... really makes ya wonder what’s a better deal.
Just bought one of these and looking for a good Blu ray player and software to play blu rays, convert codes, and rip blu rays on MAC OS. What do you recommend?
Love your videos mike when ever I need to know something about electronics I always watch your videos they are just so information packed please keep it up!
That is exactly what I do with the products that I review some are review units though and I send them back but the ones I buy myself I either keep them if they are good or I sell them on amazon. Great video mike you are one of the most detailed reviews out their. keep up the great work!
Lol it's like self-imposed mental torture on myself seeing as I can't afford one at the moment but can't bring myself to stop looking at TH-cam videos about them lol. I'm running out of videos at this point haha!
Lol between Microsoft & Windows and then Apple and OS X and MacBook Pros - all of them make me want a MBP - craving one right now lol.. I know how painful it is that if I could buy myself one and one for you too and still have money in the bank I'd do it for you haha! :P
I like how they carry the super high configs in the retail stores so you can avoid having to wait like a week for it to be built and sent to you when you use the website lol.
I make videos and want a upgrade to make videos faster. Currently I own a PC with 2nd Gen i3 Quad Core @ 3.1Ghz. Would the cheapest Mac Mini be faster at rendering videos? Thanks
In their defense, soldering components to the motherboard and ditching apparati for removing/replacing memory aids them to produce a thinner body for the device among other advantages. Typically, the rule of thumb with an expensive machine like this is to pay a bit extra and make the specs over-accommodating for your needs to it better serves you in the future.
I agree with design, the 'superior operating system' is literally down to personal preference and what you'll actually be using it for and a lot of laptops have really nice screens out there. I imagine the parts are of a high quality, undoubted that Macbook Pros are professionally crafted.
Yes, it's slightly heavier, but only slightly. What I like most of all is how the body isn't tapered from back to front like the Air. It's a solid piece of symmetrical aluminum, and it just feels so well built.
Lol, the Nvidia 750m is free in the Macbook Pro. I was bored earlier, poking around Apple's website and I added the 2.3 ghz cpu, 16 gb of ram, and 512 gb hard drive to the "cheaper" 15 inch Pro. Both the slightly specked Pro with only Iris graphics and the base Pro with the Nvidia graphics are $2,599.00.
So what advantage do we enjoy with the new MacBooks vs Windows PC? Retina screen, build quality, ssd hard drive, and bragging rights. Seems a steep price to pay for small advantage
lostintimeline By your comment I can tell you know next to nothing about computers..and this is coming from someone who owns a Mac.. I also own 2 windows PC that don't run any virus programs and guess what? No viruses. And yes before you say anything I do watch and dl porn, im just competent when it comes to computers unlike most people.
Better performance, more battery life, longer lifespan, App Napp, better supprot, more Apps with less RAM, no error or freezing, multi touch gestures, notification center, iCloud, sync with other Macs and iOS devices easily, less noise, backlit keyboard, thinner, lighter, better apps, garage band, iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, multi desktops,Unix architecture, Apple Security Updates, MagSafe, Thunderbolt and Apple Stickers, of course :D So only advantage of buying PC is price. They are way more cheaper than Macs otherwise Macs beat PCs in everything.
As someone who just bought a Macbook and sold my Windows 8 laptop, it was well worth it. It just feels incredibly nice, makes computing super enjoyable, has amazing battery life, runs like a dream, and is actually better at gaming than my previous ultra book (still not amazing though). If you want a laptop that feels and works like a laptop should (portably and well with a trackpad), this is the best. I honestly think that Windows users can't really compare until having tried a macbook for a week or two (and you can return within that period if you don't like it anyway).
Also retina screen, SSD speed, and build quality is like 70% of what makes a laptop good. You're only missing processor speed, which is typically higher on mac AND runs more efficiently.
Thank you for confirming I didn't loose my mind yesterday - just a major dent in the wallet since I got the same exact model you got. Tomorrow I'll get to my new pride and joy while I carefully do everything you've just shown me - thanks:)
You say you cant upgrade RAM and you have to send the mbp to Mac service to do that and thats BS!!! I upgrade my late 13 15" my self, just pick out the ram and pull in the new one.
Not everyone can do soldering like yours, just be respect to others who can’t, since some part of mac mainboard are fragile and easily damage if not doing it patiently
Now that it is late 2022, i can finally afford one of these
LITERALLY HAHAHAHA
Fr, i got mine today, it has a 2.0ghz i7, 16gb ram,512gb sdd, i bought it without a charger for a 100 bucks its in mint condition
@@masternugget8945 nice bro

I don't have one, you imbacile.
How do you figure you won't lose money when you decide to sell your macbook pro later?
YES! And also the MacBook Pro has the specs of an average Gaming PC so that's a plus!
+jankof76 "Best all around hardware" okay for 800 EUROS i could get a AMD R9 380 a AMD FX-8350 8gb RAM 750 watt for the power and just 100-200 euros more and you got mouse keyboard and monitor so yeah of course macs are always "better"
Looking to buy this exact macbook in 2019
Is it worth? I am interested too
Thodoris Tsatsos Yes, it is
Just bought one
@@artsafact_tv so is it good? I want it for video editing
@@thodoristsatsos4391 It's very good for 2020. I still have it and it's still very smooth.
This is my absolute favorite computer I've ever had because it does everything so nicely but actually has many ports that I use often unlike the recent models.
Love how your reviews are so professional and the 2013 rMacbook Pro is a beautiful machine.
Why am I watching a review of this laptop ON this laptop?
LMAO! Me too!
yep. literally doing this.
I don't know, but you can watching this review of your iPhone :)
lmao me to MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
You really know how to make a unboxing video, very good!
People have failed to mention that your nails are always nicely cut on your videos! Awesome. Awesome to the MAX.
Still worth it in 2017
I've been watching your channel for about 6 months now. And I have to say you're really good with your descriptions of different products. You cover everything possible and you make it sound simple. So thank you for your videos and I'm looking forward to the next 6 months :-)
5 years later, this laptop on used markets are still damn expensive UGH
Just got one for $760
i found one for 500$ with the intel iris pro. Should i get it?
I got an almost fully specced out one for $575. You just have to wait, trust me lol.
goodolepete is it in good condition
@@pantac4493 yes, I made a video on it.
Ten years later... I just picked up my first MacBook Pro today! M2 Max 🔥
Best review I've seen so far. Now I'm a little bit more convinced to buy myself one of these. Thanks!
Love your reviews, I always check them before thinking of buying a product.Continue the hard work!
Retina Display is awesome.
Mine is still going strong almost 10 years.
I'm getting the Mid-2014 one next week!!! :D
Me too!😄
***** I'm getting the base 15in since it has 16gb of ram now ;)
Is that the best idea with Apple coming out with the redesigned MacBook Pro with the Broadwell processor early to mid 2015?
***** Yeah I realize that it keeps getting better but I'm not going to wait another year to buy it because then you will be perpetually waiting for the next one it always gets better :)
Yeah, tech is always getting better. But Apple only REDESIGNS the MacBook Pro about every 3 years, and in between those 3 years they only come out with minor tweaks, like different memory of different processor.
gotta tell you mike, im really liking your outros, its so elegant and simple, just right
Worth it for 2019?
Yeah I still have mine runs fine
@@adrianr8527 still feel no need to upgrade? I do have it too, still on my fav machine to do my works! ,
love u mike. ur channel is the best for new stuff knowledge. i usually learn how to use most of my devices from ur channel. thanks alot

Thanks for the review! I'm considering getting my first MacBook Pro.
the ONLY problem i have with it is that it cost SOOOO much... but im getting it anyway because it looks awesome!
i have it and it's great for all, i use it for all type of editing and (with bootcamp) for gaming
I can play all AAA titles, like BF4 and Watch Dogs at 1080p medium details with 30-60FPS, great for a laptop :)
Hey can you guys please check out my tech channel and give some constructive feedback and if you like it, feel free to subscribe!
To make it simple, it's basically something that allows several applications to be open at one time without the computer lagging or getting slow. The more RAM the more applications u can have open at one time. Hope this helped.
I'm buying this tomorrow in 2019
Where did u buy it? I’m also looking into buying one
krissann sims offerup
What’d you end up getting it for
Mike is the man when it come to Tech,i wanna be like Mike in 5 years :)

Tell us when you got one! Good luck mate
yo i have the 15 inch retina display
You are awesome dude! You are my favourite tech channel
not being mean, but how do you get all this money?
Oh thanks
Mubeen Ahmed also, some companies send their products to people to review them, so he probably doesn't pay for everything he reviews
love ur reviews, cant wait!!
For 2014, it's time for Apple to give us the same colours as iPhone 5S models.
It didn't happen. /cry
I know this was posted 10 months ago BUT actually on april space grey gold and silver macbooks are coming out but they are 12 inch' there is not much info about it but we know that new macbook is coming in 2015
love lili Apple changed their minds after reading my youtube comments ;) - Would be fun to see if the other stuff I said will be true.
yeah :D
Great video Mike, I have to tell you, your descriptions are amazing!!, I dont even speak english but I understand every word.
Prosessor is crystalwell, no haswell
another great unboxing video, Mike. You are the best.
I wish I had one
This is $699.99 refurbished with a 12 month warranty from “Decluttr” with 512GB SSD + 16GB RAM... that’s the price of the Mac Mini with M1 and 8GB RAM/256GB SSD... really makes ya wonder what’s a better deal.
Apple should make gaming notebook ...
Apple is made for work, and I think it never will ;) I recommend Alien Ware.
the most up to date video i am watching right now. have peace :)
Just bought one of these and looking for a good Blu ray player and software to play blu rays, convert codes, and rip blu rays on MAC OS. What do you recommend?
Boot camp + Win7 :D
/kidding
LOL!
Fantastic review. As concise and informative as it could be.
How does he afford all of this? I can't even afford a 1000 dollar computer
his youtube channel helps out since he is a youtube partner
That's his job. Which means he doesn't spend money on tech. He earns money from it.
He probably works/owns a computer store
Apple sends him a laptop to review and he sends is back.
Wrong VattenFlaskaCola123
Love your videos mike when ever I need to know something about electronics I always watch your videos they are just so information packed please keep it up!
It is still worth in 2017?
I want to buy one
AMIRUL ASRAFF I'm looking to buy one used myself. Still worth an ok price depending on what you use it for

Good review mike. They always help clear up any questions I have.
Love your videos. Greetings from the Detroit area.
Hi Mike, your videos are the best!!! I'm looking forward to your iPad Air and mini2 unboxing and review!!!!
I make videos and want a upgrade to make videos faster. Currently I own a PC with 2nd Gen i3 Quad Core @ 3.1Ghz. Would the cheapest Mac Mini be faster at rendering videos? Thanks

Thunderbolt 2 does not double the bandwidth of 1, it simply bonds the two channels 1 had into a single stream. Same aggregate bandwidth.
I agree with design, the 'superior operating system' is literally down to personal preference and what you'll actually be using it for and a lot of laptops have really nice screens out there. I imagine the parts are of a high quality, undoubted that Macbook Pros are professionally crafted.
I just bought this exact one he bought, can't wait to get home from vacation and use it!
Pause at 5:50 and you can see the guest and cancel buttons are in a diffrent language
Thanks for the unboxing video, it gives people who are purchasing used gear a look at what some other knuckle head left out of the box.
Yes, it's slightly heavier, but only slightly. What I like most of all is how the body isn't tapered from back to front like the Air. It's a solid piece of symmetrical aluminum, and it just feels so well built.
Get it here ( goo.gl/PYKJsC )
I get mine in a few days. Can't wait!
why does the new 2013 model look smaller than the 2012 model?
These are such, beautiful pieces of art.
Almost brings a.. A tear to your eye :,)
I've been waiting for this video!! Thanks :)
You gain a new subscriber today.
because of this video i bought a new late 2013 at discounted price vs the new 2014 at full price thank you and it saved me 400 bucks

There should be space gray colour option.
Awesome review video! I actually got the same model as the one you used and it's night and day compared to my 2011 15"
Miss this guys videos, here I am 2023 watching a unboxing on a 2013 MacBook Pro on my 16" M2 Pro MacBook Pro
Great job Mike! i hope i can get one soon!
Just got this .. insane piece of machinery .. loving every bit :D

very good video always Mike
thanks a lot
perfection.. and this looked thinner than the 13"
Still work in late 2021 ! But i picked the new M1 pro ! Can’t wait to unboxing last one !
This MacBook Pro late 2013 was really good Mac !
wow just awesome how to make video, worthy of the quality of apple products.
powerful machine, it has more than i need, i'll go with the baseline 13inch rMBP

Nice video Borg ;)
crystalwell is kind of subset of the haswell CPU. The 15" has a haswell processor, he was not incorrect with what he said.
not that this really matters but do u ever notive a difference between the samsung vs lg panels detroitborg?
Im getting this one right on christmas day
I ordered it with 2.6 Quad Core. 16 RAM and 1TB storage.
Can't Wait to get touch On it .... Wow
You say you cant upgrade RAM and you have to send the mbp to Mac service to do that and thats BS!!! I upgrade my late 13 15" my self, just pick out the ram and pull in the new one.

I'm getting my 15 inch on Wednesday on contract. Over here in South Africa, it's about R27 000 so you're looking at around += $2700 dollars.
