This lady always makes me spit out my drink laughing out of nowhere! In her review of the 2017 model she called it the "clackbook pro" which got me out of the blue as well! 🤣😂
Wow. I feel like this was a much more in depth/critical review than normal. At damn near 4 thousand after tax though it is so very much appreciated! Great videos!
Because it's not a "Pro" device in any way. They decided to sell basically a macbook air with a better screen and removed all the things that made the pre-2016 Macbook Pro an actual Professional Device (good keyboard, excellent connectivity). And Apple is being sued for their stupid butterfly keyboard that works like crap and is too stubborn to give consumers what they want which is the old Macbook chassis and keyboard that was better in every way except thin-ness. And I said this who gladly paid the Apple premium and bought the Macbook Pro Retina 2012 on release. It actually had features I could use and needed and was willing to pay a premium for. There's not a damn reason to pay the Apple premium for the new MBP except for the fact they are thin and have OSX.
Definitely the best review I have seen in youtube. The other reviewers I have seen were usually emotionally driven in their reviews, which I absolutely hated, or simply less thorough. They focused on one negative aspect of the 2018 MBP and just could not see past that. Commenters on those other reviews were even worse... It's annoying when people write irrational comments because they hate Apple rather than discuss pros/cons in a reasonable manner. There are tons of both pros and cons to look at objectively... Anyways, thanks for the review.
Loving the review!! I appreciate the light mood and low amount of bias you present throughout the video. Most reviewers are usually biased and it’s off putting, but you kept the comparisons mostly fact based with light opinionated inputs. Love it
ZestyLeprechaun-SWBF Funny Moments, Epic Moments, and more! But expected. How in the hell did those people in Apple think the i9, hell, even the i7 would've been able to receive enough cooling on that thin-ass chassis?
Not just another YT video, such in-depth understanding of tech.. so accurate. Thanks for the awesome video! Dave2D putting i9 lappy in freezer has gotten all over YT tech😂
As a student, 13” macbook going from 2 to 4 core is gonna be my go to device. I do use rendering & fcpx for design projects. 2018 13” performance & in-depth review would be super, will the jump from 64mb eDRAM to 128mb make any difference in gpu performance?
Spot on about the SSD, I noted to that particular reviewer that he was hitting the APFS instant duplication feature rather than pure controller performance, no change made to the original article. It's a fast SSD, but not several times faster than the other similar SSDs like he thought.
As a long-time Mac user, who prefers to work on Mac OSX when on a laptop, due to the amazing trackpads and responsive OS, I just can no longer justify the mac premium price. I just can't. I've had enough.
I've had such bad luck with Dell that I will never buy another Dell, and I don't care what they make or what the reviews are. Apple, on the other hand, is delightfully durable, reliable.
Lisa, you’ve made the best MacBook Pro 2018 review so far and that is without even showing / comparing benchmarks to other versions. The conclusion remarks are spot on.
Lisa has the best reviews. A complete review without the clickbait titles or the whining over trivial details. Why don't they make a 15" Macbook minus the pro? I would imagine most people who buy the 15" (like myself) want a 15" Mac for under $2000, light weight, and the internals of a 2018 13" MacBook Pro.
I really hope in 2019 they revisit the touchpad & keyboard design + scrap the touchbar. They really got the keyboard and trackpad right with the 2012 rMBP IMO - wish they would've kept that design.
You literally said everything good and bad about this product. Such a lack of bias. Best review of this Mac I've seen. I've been watching you for years, but IDK, this review was so balanced lol. Good stuff.
THANK YOU Lisa for nailing this review! Keep giving honest accurate reviews! I finally walked away from mac and bought myself an Aero 15x with 8th gen, which is all upgradable, and comes with a dual ssd, 1070 8gb graphics (max Q), all the best ports, and an amazing screen. I bought it it on amazon for $2069 including tax on amazon. I bought an Samsung 960 evo m.2 a few months ago for like a $120, which I plan on using as my second ssd in my laptop. In total I spent $2189 for all that which includes taxes
Finally someone willing to do a real unbiased review! The first review not coming from a full fanboy or full mac hater. Thank you for the detail! You helped make my final decision on getting the i9. I was waiting to see someone that has tested with actually ramping up the fans, and realizing that premier pro is a horrible way to test performance
The 2018 MacBook Pro are what I expected the regular MacBook to be... If they want to use Pro name they need to forget the whole battery saving thing and give us performance.
ezar howard nope, all they need to do is leave the thin and light to the lightweights. heavyweight performance apparently cant fit in featherweight frame
Does it have USB Gen 2 type A port? -> No Does it have an SD card reader? -> No Does it have an ethernet port? -> No Can you upgrade down the road? -> No Does it perform as intended? -> No Is it Expensive? -> Yes Does it have showoff technology so that they can charge extra? -> Yes Apple's definition of Pro btw
I've been looking for a reason to buy a MacBook and this new release is not good enough. I LOVE Mac OS but Apple's laptops just aren't exciting. So I'm sticking with my Surface Book 2 and I'm loving it
I just love the Apple eco-system. I switched in 2009 from Windows, and it's just such a different experience. I do like both Windows and macOS though, but if i have to choose it will be macOS. But that's personally of course. I don't think that you should go with the i9 given the fact that it throttles so much, but the 32gb ram option is very welcome. I think that even the base cpu is great given the fact that it's a 6-core. I know Windows laptops already have such laptops, but it still amazing to see this transition over to laptops. Imagine having 8-core (or more) in a laptop. It's crazy to think about it but this will surely come. I believe even some Android smartphones have more then 6-core cpu's (not sure about that one) and i know that tv's also already have 6-core+ cpu's. I just think it's so great to see this evolution. But then again, i love technology 🤓
I used Apple computers in school and college. I can't believe how expensive they are for what you get. Using all those dongles for different things is annoying.
I mean top laptops don't look even remotely similar to the macbook's design so I don't know where you're coming from. XPS 15 looks and feels very different, so does the Razer Blade 15, the HP Spectre 360, the ASUS Zenbook, the LG Gram..
I kinda agree, starting with their (lack of) mac pros! Pro machines need processing, therefore cooling. Reviewers seem happy with their iMac pros, albeit with their WICKED pricing. As they say, they painted themselves into a corner with their 6.1 Darth Mac Pros heat dissipation, and I would add also with their spaghettifying defunct TB 2 connection. Firewire, firewire 800, thunderbolt 1, usb 3, esata thrown in for good measure... I call it the lost decade of connectors. I stuck with eSata ot externals with my 10 year old macs because the PC market helped bring their price down. I hope the 2019 mac pro EMBRACES the pc component market. My 2008 3,1 macpro cheesegrater has a flashed Nvidia 680 w/ 4GB, an esata card for external backups, an extra FW800/usb 2.0 card to keep devices hooked up instead of switching. I have the Caldigit usb 3.1 usb-c and esata card on the way for high speed card reading and backup. Plus I boot off of a SoftRAID 8Tb raid infested with HighSierra! High Sierra let me work the new tools in the prod bundle, albeit slowly! All on mac pro 3,1. Cost of High Sierra hardware update? $140 caldigit usb3 esata card $50 softRAID lite app (big thanks to Mark James in tech support) $15 sata & ide cable rerouting. This expandability is what a mac pro should buy you. Its very PC-like, but with the stability that, granted, a limited “walled garden” OS like mac OS will give you... Oh and I rock Battlefield 4, day Z and Space engineers via steam on the windows bootcamp. Apple, make the 2019 mac pro a BIG box with BIG fans!
Per Karlsson Look at the pictures, they don't look similar at all. Not to mention they have better processors, video cards, keyboards, higher res screens etc
The fast files duplication are from the new apple file system (AFS) instant snapshots, theses are useful for things like spanning many parallel simulators for UIKit integration testing, and any other use cases that would benefit from fast file duplicates
A $2000-7000 laptop that can't even hold stock CPU speeds. Way to go for being aimed for "professionals". But hey thinner is better am I right? /s Apple....form over function as always. But then again, your average Macbook Pro user probably won't notice the throttling since all they are gonna be doing is checking Instagram while sitting at Starbucks.
Meanwhile in the real world loads of game developers, programmers, artists, photographers and video editors use Macs every day. Are they "professional" enough for you?
@ J Nigel yeah because why would we. Well, the problem is with developing websites and apps sometimes you have to consiously drag yourself down to that level and get a macbook. :(( I'm still sad about it. But, second hand is a good enough for that ;-).
Every single credible reviewer is calling out Apple for being a bullshIt overpriced brand that offers nothing... nothing at all over lower priced gear. And actually, there are many quality/durability issues with their stuff. Terrible brand.
Why can't they just raise their TDP to 150W and make it thicker with proper cooling and a larger battery? Or switch to Ryzen APUs so they only have to put a heatsink on one component?
Street Guru Apple isn’t in charge with the tdp, and making a Mac thicker? Apple engineers will sacrifice their lives to prevent anyone from making their laptop 0.1mm thicker. And by the way there were news a few months ago saying that Apple will switch to AMD processors from 2020.
It's more likely apple switches to ARM if Adobe is porting all their software to it, but Ryzen mac products would be really neat, and it'll raise AMD's stock price a ton. I meant more don't use USB type C for the charger, or just over engineer it so it can take 150W for a better GPU.
They have their TDP target and they stick to it, I can see why they do it even if I don't always agree with it. But not having at the least the new AMD APU's as an option is criminal.
Isn’t there a limit of 100wh for batteries before you need approval from airlines to take them on planes. If you increase the tdp to 150w battery life would be like 70 minutes even with the biggest batteries possible.
If one is uncertain about buying a MacBook Pro after viewing Dave Lee’s video then one needs to watch your video to better understand the issue. I had cancelled my purchase but I’m now thinking of reordering.
Just buy the base model, I get higher cinebench scores than the I9 in the video (with mac fans control ofc). If you're really into it, limit power to 45W then be amazed with 5-10% performance jump and lower & stable temp (80-85C)
No SD card reader, USB A type port, HDMI port and MagSafe. This is the reason why I purchased a DELL with HDMI, USB A port, SD card reader, ....etc. So sad how Apple ruining their once good system. Innovate? more like downgrade.
Yea but the surface book 2 does not have thunderbolt 2, so that’s a letdown. I wanted to try the SB 2 with performance base, but can’t think of throwing $2400-2600 down with no TB2 support. Maybe SB3?.....
“Little condoms”. “If you can afford it, take me out to dinner”. Love the humour in this video!
if not for condoms, i could have been her lucky son who have lots of gaming laptops.
Allen Douangchak yup
"i9", "apple", "over 3000$", lots of puns today indeed
This lady always makes me spit out my drink laughing out of nowhere! In her review of the 2017 model she called it the "clackbook pro" which got me out of the blue as well! 🤣😂
I have just fallen in love, Lisa :-DDD
Allen Douangchak the only thing is the “humour” isn’t PG humor 😂
Wow. I feel like this was a much more in depth/critical review than normal. At damn near 4 thousand after tax though it is so very much appreciated! Great videos!
Because it's not a "Pro" device in any way. They decided to sell basically a macbook air with a better screen and removed all the things that made the pre-2016 Macbook Pro an actual Professional Device (good keyboard, excellent connectivity).
And Apple is being sued for their stupid butterfly keyboard that works like crap and is too stubborn to give consumers what they want which is the old Macbook chassis and keyboard that was better in every way except thin-ness.
And I said this who gladly paid the Apple premium and bought the Macbook Pro Retina 2012 on release. It actually had features I could use and needed and was willing to pay a premium for. There's not a damn reason to pay the Apple premium for the new MBP except for the fact they are thin and have OSX.
THIS IS THE 2018 MACBOOK PRO REVIEW I WAS WAITING FOR!!! YOU’RE THE BEST!!!!
Jay Craford don't get it. It has Serious thermal throttling issues
They all do, i9 throttles even on the dell xps 15. Slim and i9 with no throttling doesnt exist.
RxBgaming so what's the point?
Dont get an i9, go with the 6-core i7 😂
I don't understand why people say "runs like a dog" referring to slow. Dogs run pretty fast. Much faster than humans.
Hi-Fi Insider 😂 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Faster than horses as well. The fastest greyhounds race at about 45 mph or so, the horses race about 35 mph or so.
Forelimbs and forelegs
Most dogs have bad stamina. Run fast but not for long.
.." if you can afford 4TB SSD, you can take me out for dinner"...😂😂😂
KUSHAGERA VERMA I would be honoured to take Lisa out for dinner. Top lady.
Alastair Archibald but could you afford the 4tb though?😂
Been watching almost 10 years now, always great work here
“Not throwing it in the freezer” looks like dave lee made the heat problem very clear lol
I heard Siberia is a nice place to live. They should advertise their region as McBook friendly.
This best MacBook Pro Review I saw on the youtube after watching about 30 channels. This is an unbias, practical, positive youtube channel XD
Definitely the best review I have seen in youtube. The other reviewers I have seen were usually emotionally driven in their reviews, which I absolutely hated, or simply less thorough. They focused on one negative aspect of the 2018 MBP and just could not see past that. Commenters on those other reviews were even worse... It's annoying when people write irrational comments because they hate Apple rather than discuss pros/cons in a reasonable manner. There are tons of both pros and cons to look at objectively... Anyways, thanks for the review.
So far the only review on TH-cam I've seen that thinks to use a fan control app to reduce the thermal throttling. Kudos!
Nice video Lisa. You definitely do the best reviews !
OWNorDisown You are the best, too, mate!
ah Kin Thanks mate 😀 Lisa was my inspiration though and sets the bar for me to reach to.
Thanks for the compliment, Stephen- you're no slouch yourself :)
OWNorDisown are you going to review this laptop?
OWNorDisown sorry mate but il just stick with you! Lisa she's a fantastic reviewer too!
Great review Lisa. Only reviewer I've seen to know about mac fan control software. Great overview.
“...If you can afford it, take me out to dinner”
Loving the review!! I appreciate the light mood and low amount of bias you present throughout the video. Most reviewers are usually biased and it’s off putting, but you kept the comparisons mostly fact based with light opinionated inputs. Love it
Lisa, you are hands down the best tech reviewer on TH-cam. Thank you for all the nitty gritty details!
one of the best reviews so far. just as usual
Holy shit did anyone else see the CPU hit 100°C during that video conversion?!
Excellent review. No fluff, no filler, answering all the lingering questions from other reviews.
Best tech reviewer on TH-cam
Agreed!!
Excellent review Lisa. I love how you don't just follow a standard format. You're here to educate, not demonstrate and that's far more important.
The throttling on this is absolutely unacceptable.
ZestyLeprechaun-SWBF Funny Moments, Epic Moments, and more!
But expected.
How in the hell did those people in Apple think the i9, hell, even the i7 would've been able to receive enough cooling on that thin-ass chassis?
TheBeep and as usual, people will not do their research and will buy this $4000+ machine and realize they were screwed over.
i actually ordered mine and then cancelled it as soon as these throttling reviews came out
ZestyLeprechaun-SWBF Funny Moments, Epic Moments, and more! All laptops have the same problem
Nope, there are well cooled laptops.
Lisa, your reviews are always bang on.
Not just another YT video, such in-depth understanding of tech.. so accurate. Thanks for the awesome video!
Dave2D putting i9 lappy in freezer has gotten all over YT tech😂
As a student, 13” macbook going from 2 to 4 core is gonna be my go to device. I do use rendering & fcpx for design projects.
2018 13” performance & in-depth review would be super, will the jump from 64mb eDRAM to 128mb make any difference in gpu performance?
Excellent review Lisa. Your reviews are always captivating.
Did Lisa just review the Apple TrojanBook Pro?
Trojanbook? Is that a meme I missed?
Guess I don't follow normie memes enough.
Macro Cosmos I don‘t understand it either
Que?
Macro Cosmos Memes? He is talking about trojan condoms. 😂
You don't understand because you're a fool.
You and Dave Lee definitely did the best reviews for this laptop. Thank you!
Spot on about the SSD, I noted to that particular reviewer that he was hitting the APFS instant duplication feature rather than pure controller performance, no change made to the original article. It's a fast SSD, but not several times faster than the other similar SSDs like he thought.
Best review I’ve seen of the 2018 model. The only review that gives a solution to the cooling. Great job!
Always the best :)
Yes... Yes.. Yess... WOOOO
No. Night light in windows have nothing to do with apple true tone.
She is
After a wave of unboxing videos and "my 24h experience" ones we finally get a true review! Thanks Lisa!
As a long-time Mac user, who prefers to work on Mac OSX when on a laptop, due to the amazing trackpads and responsive OS, I just can no longer justify the mac premium price. I just can't. I've had enough.
Good riddance and nobody cares. Truly nobody. Bye!
ive been watching you for years, love the consistency and quality of videos
Still waiting for the Dell XPS 15 9570 review... 😥
I've had such bad luck with Dell that I will never buy another Dell, and I don't care what they make or what the reviews are. Apple, on the other hand, is delightfully durable, reliable.
Lisa, you’ve made the best MacBook Pro 2018 review so far and that is without even showing / comparing benchmarks to other versions. The conclusion remarks are spot on.
Thermal throttled core i9
yup.
David Lee sure have an impact on the market
koolyo2foots didnt help that he put it in a freezer to prove his point
Brad Haines I disagree, putting it in the freezer provide his point even more.
Brad Haines dave put it in freezer so we can see how it should perform if the macbook has good cooling
My first review from Lisa and I am blown away. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you!
king of throttling
"We either throttle your new device, or soon after" - APPLE
#throttlegate
Started watching your videos few weeks ago and i gotta admit they are amazing! Great knowledge and a calm voice. :)
Lisa, you are hilarious-you are one of the best tech TH-camrs around! Thank you
Lisa has the best reviews. A complete review without the clickbait titles or the whining over trivial details.
Why don't they make a 15" Macbook minus the pro? I would imagine most people who buy the 15" (like myself) want a 15" Mac for under $2000, light weight, and the internals of a 2018 13" MacBook Pro.
the i9 one is currently a disaster
apple without steve is a disaster
Was waiting for the review, great job, as always!
I really hope in 2019 they revisit the touchpad & keyboard design + scrap the touchbar. They really got the keyboard and trackpad right with the 2012 rMBP IMO - wish they would've kept that design.
Finally a sane reviewer that mentions fan control!
“If you can afford it, take me out to dinner.” Gotta love Lisa hahahaha
You literally said everything good and bad about this product. Such a lack of bias. Best review of this Mac I've seen. I've been watching you for years, but IDK, this review was so balanced lol.
Good stuff.
You always have the wittiest T-shirts!
So true lol. Wonder what shirt she is gonna wear next.
Subtle, funny and twisted. I love them!
Thanks Lisa .......
Your reviews are the best on You Tube ...
I look forward to every one of your reviews........ 🕵
I'll bet that silicon cover on the keys plays a part in restricting airflow through these rigs.
love this style, straight to technical details
Awesome review. So professional and right on point. You have a lot of avid fans at the notebookreview forums.
The only review I need to see. Thanks Lisa!
Thermal throttling is un exceptional for me. *Dave Lee's Voice 2018*
You're the first Reviewer I have heard explain the difference between the i7 and i9 chip sets. Well done!
What does all this mean? It means I’ll be keeping my 2012 MBP for a while longer.
THANK YOU Lisa for nailing this review! Keep giving honest accurate reviews! I finally walked away from mac and bought myself an Aero 15x with 8th gen, which is all upgradable, and comes with a dual ssd, 1070 8gb graphics (max Q), all the best ports, and an amazing screen. I bought it it on amazon for $2069 including tax on amazon. I bought an Samsung 960 evo m.2 a few months ago for like a $120, which I plan on using as my second ssd in my laptop. In total I spent $2189 for all that which includes taxes
I’m hearing the buttons get stuck...... I’ll wait for the 2019 Mac Book Pro
Finally someone willing to do a real unbiased review! The first review not coming from a full fanboy or full mac hater. Thank you for the detail! You helped make my final decision on getting the i9. I was waiting to see someone that has tested with actually ramping up the fans, and realizing that premier pro is a horrible way to test performance
The 2018 MacBook Pro are what I expected the regular MacBook to be... If they want to use Pro name they need to forget the whole battery saving thing and give us performance.
ezar howard nope, all they need to do is leave the thin and light to the lightweights. heavyweight performance apparently cant fit in featherweight frame
Or get rid of the screen keyboard thing and make the laptop the same size as the pros 2012-2015.
Brad Haines it's actually not that difficult to get good performance or thermals out of a system like that.
ezar howard then why cant they
Waited sooo long for the sound of 5K pro laptop , with fans set to 4400rpm :D ... This is really usefull and thorough review! Thumbs up. ;)
They’ve gone mad with their laptops after they released those “pro”’models in 2016.
Really the best, most comprehensive reviews! Thanks!
Does it have USB Gen 2 type A port? -> No
Does it have an SD card reader? -> No
Does it have an ethernet port? -> No
Can you upgrade down the road? -> No
Does it perform as intended? -> No
Is it Expensive? -> Yes
Does it have showoff technology so that they can charge extra? -> Yes
Apple's definition of Pro btw
Jae still mad they remove magsafe, usb a, and sd card slot. Like wtf apple. What is your definition of "Pro"
Pro = Profligate, easy to understand
Technically it does have those ports tho and it performs as intended by apple
That's the main reason why I bought XPS 15 9570 instead of wait for Macbook pro.
Jae XPS is crap too. Terrible keyboard, only usb-c, throttling i9
The absolute best reviewer! Always wait for your reviews!
Not inspiring me to rush out and grab one !
I've been looking for a reason to buy a MacBook and this new release is not good enough. I LOVE Mac OS but Apple's laptops just aren't exciting.
So I'm sticking with my Surface Book 2 and I'm loving it
You are a FANTASTIC reviewer!!! THOROUGHLY enjoyed this, thank you!
After PR denied the condoms were a dust fix, leaked internal documents said they were exactly that, lol
Thank you for your honest fair review! Too many have just been click bait about how expensive the 4tb SSD is or about the thermals on the i9.
I just love the Apple eco-system. I switched in 2009 from Windows, and it's just such a different experience. I do like both Windows and macOS though, but if i have to choose it will be macOS. But that's personally of course. I don't think that you should go with the i9 given the fact that it throttles so much, but the 32gb ram option is very welcome.

But then again, i love technology 🤓
What is keeping me from Windows is my iPhone - which is why I am looking at Mac reviews.
As always the best reviews! thanks, Lisa.
**Everything** is soldered on!? Sheesh...
Charsept yeah, it's poopy and useless to even buy
Charsept just get the aero 15x v8 or new razorblade
Best review I've seen of the MBP 2018. Thanks!
I used Apple computers in school and college. I can't believe how expensive they are for what you get. Using all those dongles for different things is annoying.
Thank you for the most unbiased review I have yet to watch. Well produced :)
Apple is slowing spinning out of control in my opinion. Great video !
C Rizzy
Of course they care about their computers. Probably more than most other manufacturers who just seem to copy Apple.
I mean top laptops don't look even remotely similar to the macbook's design so I don't know where you're coming from. XPS 15 looks and feels very different, so does the Razer Blade 15, the HP Spectre 360, the ASUS Zenbook, the LG Gram..
Almost all the laptops you name are MBP rip offs.
I kinda agree, starting with their (lack of) mac pros!
Pro machines need processing, therefore cooling. Reviewers seem happy with their iMac pros, albeit with their WICKED pricing.
As they say, they painted themselves into a corner with their 6.1 Darth Mac Pros heat dissipation, and I would add also with their spaghettifying defunct TB 2 connection. Firewire, firewire 800, thunderbolt 1, usb 3, esata thrown in for good measure... I call it the lost decade of connectors.
I stuck with eSata ot externals with my 10 year old macs because the PC market helped bring their price down.
I hope the 2019 mac pro EMBRACES the pc component market.
My 2008 3,1 macpro cheesegrater has a flashed Nvidia 680 w/ 4GB, an esata card for external backups, an extra FW800/usb 2.0 card to keep devices hooked up instead of switching. I have the Caldigit usb 3.1 usb-c and esata card on the way for high speed card reading and backup. Plus I boot off of a SoftRAID 8Tb raid infested with HighSierra!
High Sierra let me work the new tools in the prod bundle, albeit slowly!
All on mac pro 3,1. Cost of High Sierra hardware update?
$140 caldigit usb3 esata card
$50 softRAID lite app (big thanks to Mark James in tech support)
$15 sata & ide cable rerouting.
This expandability is what a mac pro should buy you. Its very PC-like, but with the stability that, granted, a limited “walled garden” OS like mac OS will give you...
Oh and I rock Battlefield 4, day Z and Space engineers via steam on the windows bootcamp.
Apple, make the 2019 mac pro a BIG box with BIG fans!
Per Karlsson Look at the pictures, they don't look similar at all. Not to mention they have better processors, video cards, keyboards, higher res screens etc
Thank you Lisa for professional and throughout review.
Would totally get the Razer with GTX1070 144Hz for this price.
The fast files duplication are from the new apple file system (AFS) instant snapshots, theses are useful for things like spanning many parallel simulators for UIKit integration testing, and any other use cases that would benefit from fast file duplicates
Nice display but i won't need this anyway..just came for the review😁
This is the review I’ve been waiting for.
A $2000-7000 laptop that can't even hold stock CPU speeds. Way to go for being aimed for "professionals". But hey thinner is better am I right? /s
Apple....form over function as always. But then again, your average Macbook Pro user probably won't notice the throttling since all they are gonna be doing is checking Instagram while sitting at Starbucks.
GrayFox370 lol
YOU HAVE A POINT
Meanwhile in the real world loads of game developers, programmers, artists, photographers and video editors use Macs every day. Are they "professional" enough for you?
@ J Nigel yeah because why would we. Well, the problem is with developing websites and apps sometimes you have to consiously drag yourself down to that level and get a macbook. :(( I'm still sad about it. But, second hand is a good enough for that ;-).
aCup of Tea true then you are doing a good thing to environment too (to be accurate not ruining it)
The best Laptop reviewer. Excellent work as always.
Every single credible reviewer is calling out Apple for being a bullshIt overpriced brand that offers nothing... nothing at all over lower priced gear. And actually, there are many quality/durability issues with their stuff. Terrible brand.
thanks for the in depth review! i enjoy your sense of humor and presentation
Why can't they just raise their TDP to 150W and make it thicker with proper cooling and a larger battery? Or switch to Ryzen APUs so they only have to put a heatsink on one component?
Street Guru Apple isn’t in charge with the tdp, and making a Mac thicker? Apple engineers will sacrifice their lives to prevent anyone from making their laptop 0.1mm thicker. And by the way there were news a few months ago saying that Apple will switch to AMD processors from 2020.
because that would make too much sense!
i guess theyre worried about losing the customers that only care about aesthetics?
It's more likely apple switches to ARM if Adobe is porting all their software to it, but Ryzen mac products would be really neat, and it'll raise AMD's stock price a ton.
I meant more don't use USB type C for the charger, or just over engineer it so it can take 150W for a better GPU.
They have their TDP target and they stick to it, I can see why they do it even if I don't always agree with it. But not having at the least the new AMD APU's as an option is criminal.
Isn’t there a limit of 100wh for batteries before you need approval from airlines to take them on planes. If you increase the tdp to 150w battery life would be like 70 minutes even with the biggest batteries possible.
Fabulous. Informative, amusing, grown-up, entertaining and just what I needed. Well done you, Lisa!
Lisa I think your wearing two different earrings 🧐 - I drifted once I heard the price on the Macpro and was admiring your earrings 😂 ....very pretty !
Born Again Farm Girl I noticed that too, I think it is so they stand out on the different background colors!
Born Again Farm Girl I do this sometimes. They're complimenting the two diff colors of the gingerbread man. :D
Very candid, useful and balanced review. Thank you Lisa!
My thinkpad P50 has 8TB.
My favorite tech lady reviewing my favorite laptop. Love your videos, keep up the good work!
Little condoms 🤣
haha lol xD
Outstanding review, Lisa. Thanks so much for another excellent video and perspective!
If one is uncertain about buying a MacBook Pro after viewing Dave Lee’s video then one needs to watch your video to better understand the issue. I had cancelled my purchase but I’m now thinking of reordering.
db4ip just buy the i7 and ramp up your fans when rendering something. i9 is not ready yet
Just buy the base model, I get higher cinebench scores than the I9 in the video (with mac fans control ofc). If you're really into it, limit power to 45W then be amazed with 5-10% performance jump and lower & stable temp (80-85C)
Best review I've seen so far, a lot of your videos are really good.
No SD card reader, USB A type port, HDMI port and MagSafe. This is the reason why I purchased a DELL with HDMI, USB A port, SD card reader, ....etc. So sad how Apple ruining their once good system. Innovate? more like downgrade.
I will miss fantastical and airmail but my next laptop won’t be a MacBook
I was waiting for your take on this! Thank you!
Watching this on my SURFACE BOOK WITH PERFORMANCE BASE.
TheVideoGameManiac I would be too if it had at least 1 thunderbolt port. But it has none ;)
Yea but the surface book 2 does not have thunderbolt 2, so that’s a letdown. I wanted to try the SB 2 with performance base, but can’t think of throwing $2400-2600 down with no TB2 support. Maybe SB3?.....
Watching thins on my Surface Book 2 15".
Watching this on my Galaxy Tab A 8
🤷♂️ ok...
Love your reviews as always, thanks from Ireland
"Little condoms"
Kinda like the ones I wear :(
I have been looking forward to this all day. Thanks Lisa!
