kOdaqTV the only problem for me though. Where I live there are no Starbucks. Australia got rid of Starbucks because Aussies hate it, and are fussy about our coffee. You can get it in Melbourne or Sydney
Got this same MacBook Pro! This machine is fantastic not the most beefy power you can get for this price but built extremely and can handle 4K editing!
It's not. The updates are god damn awful it's optimized like ass and can hardly even run anything without lagging even on the most up to spec systems,while macOS is reliable,fast and optimized even on the lowest hardware. Windows is just good for gaming,macOS is good for everything,but gaming.
Here's a fun story : When I bought my 'late 2013' Retina from the refurb store (they were doing a refresh at the time, so the computer was essentially new), it was actually cheaper than a similarly spec'd Windows laptop. It has a 2.6 Ghz Haswell i5, 8GB of RAM and a 512 GB SSD. I basically consider that purchase as being the best deal I've ever made in my life, especially since I've used it all the way through my master's degree (in software engineering), and still use it to this day. I'm really going to hang onto this thing, but the raised prices and lack of I/O on recent models might mean that when/if my Mac dies, I'll have to go back to another manufacturer.
I don't get why I/O is an issue for people. Many peripherals can go wireless and perform very. Then there is the cloud. Having a usb and ethernet on my 2012 MPB is more of a backup that is rarely used. Yourself?
With the exception of the thunderbolt ports (which have never been used), I've been using all of the I/O on my MBP one more than one occasion. I sometimes bring that computer to places where I have no access to the Internet, and being able to just plug in a standard thumb drive is pretty nice. I've also been using a wired Xbox controller on more than one occasion. The HDMI port doesn't get a ton of use, but I've been plugging the computer in TVs a couple of times. I've even used that Mac to run some indie games at a party, again using all the USB ports to plug in controllers. Honestly I wouldn't have felt butthurt about the I/O if they had included at least two standard USB type A ports. TB3 is perfectly adequate for all the rest.
Something to keep in mind - Many people are still rocking 2011 or 2012 Macbook Pros(including me, mine still looks factory new). These computers last ages.
I've owned the new MacBook Pro 13" since november of last year, and I've grown to really love it. I have the same base model (no touch bar) but with 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of SSD. It's an acquired taste to be sure, and I wasn't certain at first whether I would like the butterfly keyboard and how the limited port selection would turn out, but as you said in this video, once you're used to it everything else just feels primitive. The old MacBook Pro's keyboard feels mushy when compared to the clicky second gen butterfly keys. The old touchpad is cramped and being able to click only at the bottom of the touchpad feels really awkward now. I've also previously used a Dell XPS 15 for half a year (that was early 2016) and overall I came away with a feeling of "meh". It's not as ergonomic as I thought it would be based on looks, the battery life was mediocre at best, and Windows 10 had all sorts of small annoying issues where it wouldn't play nice with the laptop's hardware. I didn't miss it for a second after I turned it back in again. MacOS isn't a problem for me. I'm proficient in using all three major OS'es, and as a software developer it's good to have direct access to all three as well. So many people lock themselves into a single OS and refuse to touch anything else, but being flexible and able to switch between OS'es on the fly really is a big advantage when dealing with cross-platform software systems. Finally, the MBP's portability is just awesome. Being able to casually carry it in one hand to a meeting, then flip open the screen and start typing without worrying about battery life or bringing a gazillion attachments, that never gets old.
"MacOS isn't a problem for me. I'm proficient in using all three major OS'es, and as a software developer it's good to have direct access to all three as well. So many people lock themselves into a single OS and refuse to touch anything else". I just want to clap for this sentence. Well done
Vic The Tech Champion The 2016 MBP was the first with the gen 2 butterfly keyboard. Gen 1 was only on the first two generations of 12" MacBook. Thankfully, because that first version sucked.
You were so incredibly impartial, I know it’s hard to recommend a mac computer when you’re a hardcore windows user. Big props for your honesty I had to hit that subscribe button.
It's such a shame that they ditched the magsafe charge port in the current macbook pros. Definitely one of the key selling features of the older products.
MagSafe was great, but it's just not as big of a deal anymore because battery life has improved & you'll hardly have to charge your MacBook in dangerous situations. Also, it's no longer proprietary & there are third-party magnetic ends to add on if you still want that.
Hey, can someone help, please? I have (2) of the charger extensions somehow, but they're for my 2011 MacBook Pro charger. I'm getting the MacBook 2017, so will it work with my new charger? Thanks in advance.
The extension cords will work for your macbook pro 2017, as I have an extension cord which was for my old 2011 macbook pro, and you can just switch them off and on anytime you want. The charging block that plugs into your outlet still has a option to use other cords.
If I was Greg I'd be offended, because Linus has stooped so low in terms of quality since the beginning of last year and started catering to little kids and not tech enthusiasts with his cringey sex jokes, faces, clickbait and awful thumbnails just because he wanted a little extra income. Greg on the other hand is quite the contrary, he's constantly improving and is giving us unbiased reviews and not to mention those sexy af custom water-cooled builds...
That battery life is so great! I have the same model MacBook Pro too, but I only manage to get 7 hours total (Only using Safari). It still charges so quickly though. Nonetheless, I absolutely love this computer, and it made me switch fully to Apple. I've been using Android and Windows for years, Apple ecosystem feels so refreshing.
*A quick update to my comment* The issue was purely with the screen brightness. I didn't even realize that my screen brightness was always above 75%. Since the screen is 67% more bright on the new models, it eats up battery A LOT. Also, auto brightness was causing it to turn up most of the time, I disabled it. After that, I've tried to turn it down to 50%, AND I GOT 10 HOURS OF BATTERY. It was that simple. The battery life is great. No doubt.
I use my Touch Bar a lot but I wouldn't recommend buying the more expensive model for it personally. What I would recommend buying the more expensive model for is the 2 extra Thunderbolt 3 ports and the better processor.

@Rommel Advincula you should buy one with touchbar, because that version have 2 fan, not because of the touchbar lol the non touchbar version have only 1 fan, and in many scenarios, the temp will make you piss off.
Good News! Top Rated Battery on eBay! Brand New A1322 A1278 Battery for Apple MacBook Pro 13'' - On Sale Today - Guaranteed Performance www.ebay.com/itm/152552935573
I bought the 15", so I didn't have the choice to get the Touch Bar or not, I have found it useful when watching movies, because you can scrub, but most apps don't support it, so you just end up having the control strip expanded the whole time. One thing that I am interested in is how well that handles heat, as the non touchbar pro only has one fan, compared to the two you usually get
I also have the 13 inch MacBook Pro, (typing on it right now) and honestly I find no use for the ports besides for charging. As long as you have an iPhone, you can seamlessly migrate files to and from with ease, and most things I do now are on google drive, so I have no need to use a flash drive to store my files, as I find google drive perfect if I want to go onto my desktop and continue working on my file. And yes I love the windows OS as well, and the easy workaround with that is just starting up the Boot Camp application that comes pre installed with any MacBook and you can instantly start using windows on your Macbook. I see no problem working with this, and graphical fidelity is obviously not a reason why you should buy this. This is a workstation laptop, not a gaming laptop or computer, and is meant to help your workflow, and not with your leisure time. I love this laptop
Bonus point, these things last forever. I've had my 2013 15" pro for 5 years now. Traveled several countries with me, took a few bumps and drops, and still works like a champ. Unfortunately I don't want to upgrade to the touchbar version because I don't like it. I'm hoping they come back with function keys for their higher end models next go-around.
The thing I like most about my Mac, is that I bought it in 2012 refurbished for around $1100. Since then it's seen an SSD upgrade and a RAM upgrade, an it's still faster than most of the computers at my work, not to mention it's battery life is stellar. My friend also has a unibody MacBook that had it's battery expand inside the laptop, bulging out the touchpad and the bottom of the case. Took it out and replaced it and everything worked fine.
PC builder here... Just bought a MacBook as well!! Great for editing and even some light animation work.. But i will always come home to my windows gaming rig 🥰
For me, the MacBook is nice because of two things: build quality and macOS. I can not like Windows, and I just don't know why. I use Windows for all the programs on the job, schools and even games (actually just Pro Evolution Soccer), but for personal things like browsing, writing texts, Netflix, developing web sites and even games like League of Legends, Hearthstone and StarCraft, macOS handle everything very well and I fell better than using Windows. I tried some versions of Linux, and I really liked it, but since I like Apples's hardware, I will use it's system.
Tyler Smith you obviously don’t know what your talking about putting in external annotations and video cards is a TH-cam feature not something you do while editing so stop.
I hate how people hate on Mac even when they have never used it and tbh its smoother and faster than most Windows laptops and it looks the coolest and sleekest
Actually, $1499 , $1799, $1999 for ANY laptop is unacceptable unless the laptop is a beast at gaming. Where did I get those prices from? Well, from Apple's official website of course! This computer is limited and hard to use, I've used one myself, and I just felt limited. I had to ask so many of my friends how to use it, and just ended up selling it. Honestly, Apple fanboys should just stop.🤣
@@kelvinlendof553 Yes but apple isn't made for gamers. It doesn't target that audience, it never has. Most people who use it tend to be more creative with their work, designers, artists, writers etc. I fail to see the correlation between you not knowing how to use the Mac and it not being a great laptop
@@kb-fp5vf I'm not sure what his thought process was when he said that but I think what he meant to say was that any laptop that costs that much should have performance that should match that price and not make up for it via build quality and other features that don't necessarily affect the performance of that device. I don't believe this is true and a company should be allowed to charge a premium if they invested more money, time, thought and manpower into other features of their devices which apple clearly does regardless of what anyone thinks. As for being creative though, yeah Mac users don't buy Macs for gaming and it is mostly for productivity or for casual usage. That being said though, these workloads are completely possible on the windows/Linux side of things and furthermore those two OS families have other features to offer and in the end whenever all these OS are compared, windows/Linus OS are usually found lacking in only a few workload comparisons with MacOS but are never found to be unable to do it altogether and because of that I think it is still worth pointing out that the MacOS ecosystem is great at a lot of things especially integration with other devices but severely limiting at a FEW other tasks as well.
Nice review. I would add a couple of things. 1-With Parallels or WMWare you really run virtual windows machines that are fast, reliable even better than being on windows (besides gaming). One gets messy? Drop a copy or revert to snapshot. 2-MacOS is amazing. 3-2nd hand value? You'd be surprised how well Macs hold their value in time. If you buy them well (10% discount is easy to find) after a couple of years that machine's value is around 70% of what you paid. 4-Ridiculously reliable, with amazing customer care (Apple Store and more). 5-Expensive? TCO it's good entry price they're very much so.
@@aamircontractor4708 i have this one as well.. after ruing diagnostic tool it appeared that there was some issues with the fan.. after opening it up and trying to spin the fan manually it was stuck, so i had to disassemble the whole thing just to take out the fan and remove piece of dust that prevented the fan from spinning.
By the way if anyone is thinking about buying a Mac + Final Cut Pro, buy the education bundle if you're a student! $200 gets you ALL the Apple Pro Apps (FCP, Logic, etc). I think they require a .edu email address for the software bundle, but the education discount on Apple hardware appears to be an honor system.
I will be traveling a lot soon and I don't know if I should buy the MacBook pro 13 or 15, I know the 15 is made for video but 13 is smaller, it's been 2 months now that I still don't know what to pick... how much slower the 13 will be compare to the 15 with FCPx can you help me ?
Really good and fair review. I’m confused by one of your last statement, though: “the operating system is limiting, for some”. Just curious what you’re thinking of. As a Unix/Linux guy I feel completely crippled on a Windows machine, specifically because *nix isn’t under the covers. What is MacOS missing? Is it the games/apps people want to run? If so, that makes sense. Is it something else? I like your point re the build quality. I’ve realized over my many years that most people don’t care how crappy something feels in use, or how inelegant it looks. I care a lot, and am willing to pay (a lot) more for not-a-hunk-of-plastic.
My two cents from a guy who basically used all of them . I grew up on a MacBook 2008 that took me through my entire high school , back then I used to Mac os and windows. I built my first PC and was using Windows 7 at the time I think solely and just used that for games. I went to uni and did my degree in cs and I basically played around with Linux to the poijnt where , things made sense , by the end of uni , I can't use anything else to write code except for any Linux distro with i3 gaps ported. Now I own a hp zbook , for my job and I love except it's super heavy . And 2 PC's 1 gaming , 1 for the family and 1 server. What I really want , is Mac hardware and like complete Linux support. I think lots of people really love to bash on Mac os , and I personally think the os is actually pretty good you know . Windows is too much of a clutter fest for me to like use besides playing games, especially for development , you need to jump through 400 hoops to get something working. People keep forgetting , apple can charge anything they want because they have a monopoly on devices running the Mac / iOS ecosystem , since they own it .
i have the exact same one, and the only complaint is that both t3's are on the left... the amount of two is enough, i dont understand what people connect except charge and essd
Megalodon Lol, it seems when someone doesn't know how to insult me they go after my anime profile pic. Quite surprising coming from someone who made minecraft lets plays.
I have a 13" 2012 version. I take it with me on all my trips and it has survived all the knocks, falls, bangs and keeps on working. The build quility alone is what is preventing me going back to a Windows-based Plastic laptop. Mind you, this little MBP has 16gig of ram and a 1 TB HD
I just starting using same computer this week (daughter provided a chromebook by her high school so I took this from her lol ) and I love it and im typing this from a Samsung phone and haven't used an apple phone since 2011
I got a MacBook Pro 15" with Touch Bar free because of the backordered battery issue on my 2012 model, and ultimately decided to sell it and go back to the older model because I just couldn't stand the touch bar. I missed being able to easily fiddle with volume quickly without having to look. I would've kept it if not for the bar.
Excelent video! I have one question. I am going to buy a MacBook Pro i5 8RAM 128GB. I will use only for web design and the heaviest program will be only Photoshop. My question is if i will be ok with 128GB or i should buy the 256GB version
@@zeleniawolfe I suggest you look into your options first though! I'm sure you might've been searching for quite some time now but look into your options! I've heard there are amazin' spec windows laptops that also get the job done. Mac gets the job done as well (depending of the variation of it with the specs) but you pay for what works best for you.
I bought the 13 inch MBP w/o touch bar a couple days ago. I bought the 2.3GHz with 256GB SSD drive. The retail price was $1499 but I purchased it for $1249(no tax) at the Navy exchange. Everything there is tax free and it was on sale for military members😀. One of the perks of being in the military. I don't do any video editing or gaming for that matter, but I had a 17inch touch screen acer laptop that I was using for about 5 years only for school and decided to finally upgrade to my very first apple computer. I am apple everything, iPhone 7, Apple Watch, so why not? I am fairly impressed with this system. Very crisp display and the SSD make it super fast for it to open programs and what not. I could have bought the 3.1GHz MBP with touch bar for $1500 but I didn't see that much of a difference to spend that extra $250. Overall, fairly impressed.
LOL. They're awesome until you accidentally do a system update and screw up everything. Not to mention all the hops you have to go through to get it correctly working. My HP laptop has an Intel wireless card which isn't supported by macOS. So that means no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Jose Javier Flores ya I see your point but I find it fun and rewarding to spend the time making it work. Yes system updates can screw things up but you can still get the data back to back up then try again. It's a really fun challenge I feel to get a hackintosh up and working. I spent a total of about 3-4 hours to set up mine and another 2 hours to update it to Mac OS Serra.
Pretty awesome to see an unbiased review. I have always used apple products at home, but have always felt much more comfortable with a Windows / PC setup at work and in a business setting. Too many people are too closed-minded to recognize the merits of both and take them for what they are. Thanks for keeping it real!
All my professors scoffed at us for using final cut x because avid media composer was the industry standard. I have not once since college heard of anybody cutting anything on Avid
Yes, I used Windows for my whole life (95, XP, and Vista) then my dad buys an iMac when I was 10 years old. I was so excited because I liked Apple back then and then I slowly started to hate macOS, because it was hard to use keyboard shortcuts. A lot of hacks were only for windows too so I hated it. PC' s are better in every way to me. I can't go back to macOS. As he said in the video "the OS might be a little constraining for some people" but he really means, "it's crazy restrained".
@Sam Stringer I strongly disagree lol... the only real thing windows does better is games... anything else is crappier. Ok it is cheaper but better... hell no. if I could eliminate windows from my life I would be a Linux/Mac only guy.
Fabio Guedes Better is subjective. But it is a fact that Windows and Linux can do MUCH more than OS/X. Mac can do things that those also cannot, but it's so small it's almost nothing. Although I do find the OS/X interface very pleasing to look at.
I'm still happy with my 2012 superdrive macbook pro, upgraded for 200 bucks to 16GB RAM and 1 TB SSD... it survived some serious drops and daily abuse on my bed/couch... not sure if I would profit much from an update to this machine.... it looks quite fragile.... in exchange for all the ports gone, did they make it at least 5 meters water-proof ? :D
George Gear Makes no difference mate, import tariffs will affect whether we're in the EU or not. In fact things will be even shitter when we leave since Brexit will mean no free trade with the EU meaning more FUCKING tariffs.
Kevin Connolly yeah if you wanna buy a merc or a Hugo boss suit. But a MacBook won’t because it doesn’t get made or shipped through the EU meaning we won’t be seeing a guaranteed rise in price in the future unlike poor Austria who are having these sort of decisions on import tariffs made for them. And it’s not like this guy can vote for a new politician who will change this, because EU politicians aren’t elected so they’re effectively stuffed
George Gear Apple products get made in China. The EU is China's biggest trading partner. If we leave the EU this trade agreement will no longer exist. China would prioritise a trade agreement with the EU over Britain as everything we can offer in terms of exports the EU can offer 10x better and cheaper. This is because the falling pound means manufacturers based in the UK have to pay more to import foreign goods like raw materials, so thus to cut losses must charge more to export their finished products. This all leads to increased inflation which results in the value (price in this case) of products we buy rising and the money we use to buy them with not. This is why consumer based products like those from Apple are so expensive at the moment. I'm afraid to say that the uncertainty around Brexit is pretty much the root cause of all of this as foreign investors (which we rely on) move away deciding to save and invest elsewhere. This causes the pound to dip even further which only exacerbates the issues mentioned above whilst also increasing the liklihood of a recession which would negatively impact employment and total average income. The two main reasons why Apple products are cheaper in the USA is due to non-existent or low VAT in some states as well as Apple themselves pricing their electronics cheaper there. America's population is alot bigger than ours as well so VAT can afford to be much lower. The UK on the other hand benefits extensively from imposing VAT on its products which is why when we leave the EU, despite what Theresa May might say, I expect VAT to further rise to partly offset any financial damages Brexit might cause to the economy. This will again lead to things being more expensive to buy than if we had stayed in the EU. 😉
Thanks for an informativ review. Just bought myself a MacBook Pro 15" retina mid 2015 model with 256 SSD disk and 16 GB of RAM already installed. This previous model comes with more connections than the later model you reviewed so that's an advantage. So if you do not need the latest model for some reason earlier models are still for sale at a better price and with more connections.
I have the opportunity to get a late 2017 MacBook Pro 13” 128gigs storage - 8 gigs ram for only $600. Should I do it?! I feel like the storage is a little weak, and I wanted a 15”. But it’s such a good deal. What do you think?
"The fan only turns on when [...] or I'm on a Skype call and doing some things in the background like opening some tabs on Chrome" - Sounds like minimal use, so I hope you're not serious because that's NOT good design.
bruh... you know how ram and power hungry chrome is right? Is you PC lagging? Prob coz you have 10 tabs open. And unlike the macbook pro 2019, it doesn't wait too long to turn on the fans, thus destroying the pc...
Sharky :D I know I am late,but it is perfectly enough,but I think you should consider buying the sd card adapter so that you can have your sd card on your macbook all the time
No SolidWorks for mac unfortunately, I have a macbook pro and love it but as far as any sort of engineering design software you are pretty limited. If you partition part of your drive and load windows, the laptop itself will perform very well and you will kind of have the best of both worlds but 256GB is a little low for two operating systems and heavy duty software
Mr Cat na man windows 10 is great now. I hated it initially but the updates have made it worthwhile. Great for gaming and works great with adobe premiere pro
owning both, I can say the Huawei matebook x is on par with the macobook in terms of build quality. it comes in at 1100 bucks, but the microsoft store has it for 899. either way it's a cheaper alternative running windows which I personally prefer.
I got a base model 2018 MacBook Pro a few days ago. I'm a graphic designer, and even though I have a very powerful desktop PC, I needed a portable computer to take to work and client meetings. It's great! It allows me to do really responsive 2D editing with Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Lightroom. Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't work with massive raster images on it, but it's really worth the £1200 I paid for it for the power, portability and amazing user experience
I bought a new 2018 MacBook Pro with touchbar..To be honest, it think my mid 2012 MBP non-retina (upgraded to ssd and 8gb ram) is much faster.. damn u apple!
I bought MacBook 15” pro 2012 I like it with CD drive in it, but it’s heavy to travel around. I also have iPad Pro 9.7 inch bought from 2017. I travel every year for fun and start blogging, videos and I am thinking buying MacBook Air to travel and editing laptop. What can you suggest Greg? MacBook Air? Or MacBook Pro 2019?
Reasons why I would never buy a Macbook: 1- Price. 2- OS: Most of the engineering programs I use do not have full compatibility with MacOS. 3- Horrible port selection > Must add a price premium for good dongles > Price. 4- Everything is soldered. 5- Underperforming GPU (if it exists) compared to similarly prices (or cheaper) Windows laptops.
Zakaria Youncha - 1. You'll be hard pushed to find a Windows alternative with the same or better specification for much less. 2. Thats fair enough, although Bootcamp does exist. 3. A price premium? A dongle costs about $5, a usb hub cost me less than $20. On a $1,000+ purchase? 4. Fair enough 5. Eh? The GPU, which is a higher spec than competing laptops from Dell etc, performs fine for me and I develop games on it!

A lot of people basically "live" in the cloud now anyways. Honestly I only use this for school work and I store all of my documents on OneDrive. So I really don't have the need for that much storage. I understand that other people might though.
I personally have 512GB on mine, and would never buy anything lower than 256, but I can definitely see how 128GB would be enough for some people, especially if they use it as a secondary device to a desktop.
It's very nice that people like you still exist. Usually, windows users and guys who build PCs, blame everything about Apple. It's not the best company out there but you get the point. Very cool video! :)

I mean come on I can get a laptop with the same price but with better specs its just too overpriced
Yeff Like he said, have you actually touched one? Just because a laptop has lower specs doesn't mean it's worse.

Windows is better than MacOS. But you can just instal windows on a mac for $100
It's not. The updates are god damn awful it's optimized like ass and can hardly even run anything without lagging even on the most up to spec systems,while macOS is reliable,fast and optimized even on the lowest hardware. Windows is just good for gaming,macOS is good for everything,but gaming.

I've also previously used a Dell XPS 15 for half a year (that was early 2016) and overall I came away with a feeling of "meh". It's not as ergonomic as I thought it would be based on looks, the battery life was mediocre at best, and Windows 10 had all sorts of small annoying issues where it wouldn't play nice with the laptop's hardware. I didn't miss it for a second after I turned it back in again.
MacOS isn't a problem for me. I'm proficient in using all three major OS'es, and as a software developer it's good to have direct access to all three as well. So many people lock themselves into a single OS and refuse to touch anything else, but being flexible and able to switch between OS'es on the fly really is a big advantage when dealing with cross-platform software systems.
Finally, the MBP's portability is just awesome. Being able to casually carry it in one hand to a meeting, then flip open the screen and start typing without worrying about battery life or bringing a gazillion attachments, that never gets old.
Astfgl you have the 2016 not the 2017
Same basic design, but with a Skylake processor instead of a Kaby Lake.
Astfgl updated keyboard as well it’s butterfly 2.0
"MacOS isn't a problem for me. I'm proficient in using all three major OS'es, and as a software developer it's good to have direct access to all three as well. So many people lock themselves into a single OS and refuse to touch anything else". I just want to clap for this sentence. Well done
Vic The Tech Champion The 2016 MBP was the first with the gen 2 butterfly keyboard. Gen 1 was only on the first two generations of 12" MacBook. Thankfully, because that first version sucked.
You were so incredibly impartial, I know it’s hard to recommend a mac computer when you’re a hardcore windows user. Big props for your honesty I had to hit that subscribe button.
HHAHAHAHAHA
Thats colour on yours is it silver one or space grey vrooh???
It's such a shame that they ditched the magsafe charge port in the current macbook pros. Definitely one of the key selling features of the older products.
thedrkjones11 such a stupid decision. They had a charging solution that was objectively better, and they dropped it for seemingly no good reason.
MagSafe was great, but it's just not as big of a deal anymore because battery life has improved & you'll hardly have to charge your MacBook in dangerous situations. Also, it's no longer proprietary & there are third-party magnetic ends to add on if you still want that.
thedrkjones11 yo you can buy magsafe chargers that are basically the same thing
Hey, can someone help, please? I have (2) of the charger extensions somehow, but they're for my 2011 MacBook Pro charger. I'm getting the MacBook 2017, so will it work with my new charger? Thanks in advance.
The extension cords will work for your macbook pro 2017, as I have an extension cord which was for my old 2011 macbook pro, and you can just switch them off and on anytime you want. The charging block that plugs into your outlet still has a option to use other cords.
I can respect that you aren't afraid to admit you like an Apple device considering your background as a PC guy
You're turning into Linus, now you need to do TunnelBear and Synergy

If I was Greg I'd be offended, because Linus has stooped so low in terms of quality since the beginning of last year and started catering to little kids and not tech enthusiasts with his cringey sex jokes, faces, clickbait and awful thumbnails just because he wanted a little extra income.
Greg on the other hand is quite the contrary, he's constantly improving and is giving us unbiased reviews and not to mention those sexy af custom water-cooled builds...
and then he needs his own version of floatplane

That battery life is so great! I have the same model MacBook Pro too, but I only manage to get 7 hours total (Only using Safari). It still charges so quickly though. Nonetheless, I absolutely love this computer, and it made me switch fully to Apple. I've been using Android and Windows for years, Apple ecosystem feels so refreshing.
*A quick update to my comment*
The issue was purely with the screen brightness. I didn't even realize that my screen brightness was always above 75%. Since the screen is 67% more bright on the new models, it eats up battery A LOT. Also, auto brightness was causing it to turn up most of the time, I disabled it. After that, I've tried to turn it down to 50%, AND I GOT 10 HOURS OF BATTERY. It was that simple. The battery life is great. No doubt.
Spesifik Brush I get a whole day with my xps 13.3
Good job, would you like a cookie?
How much are they paying you?
Derp Derp, Sure... a whole DAY with it turned off. LOL
The touchbar is unnecessary. But if you have used it for a while... you can’t go back! It is amazing after a lot of use.
I get a lot of use out of the touchbar. It's great for screenshot and music/video control.
I use my Touch Bar a lot but I wouldn't recommend buying the more expensive model for it personally. What I would recommend buying the more expensive model for is the 2 extra Thunderbolt 3 ports and the better processor.
@Rommel Advincula you should buy one with touchbar, because that version have 2 fan, not because of the touchbar lol
the non touchbar version have only 1 fan, and in many scenarios, the temp will make you piss off.

I bought the 15", so I didn't have the choice to get the Touch Bar or not, I have found it useful when watching movies, because you can scrub, but most apps don't support it, so you just end up having the control strip expanded the whole time. One thing that I am interested in is how well that handles heat, as the non touchbar pro only has one fan, compared to the two you usually get
Hi! Can you tell me which was the most heavy project you edited on this machine? I am really confused. And I have the budget to get only this machine.
Only one question remains.......
Can it run Crysis?
Clorox Bleach no
Clorox Bleach not well, but probably
Ooo I'll try ;-)
Science Studio Holly Bleachy lord and coconuts!!! You replied :D
PaweTheGoof But........ hows that possible?
I also have the 13 inch MacBook Pro, (typing on it right now) and honestly I find no use for the ports besides for charging. As long as you have an iPhone, you can seamlessly migrate files to and from with ease, and most things I do now are on google drive, so I have no need to use a flash drive to store my files, as I find google drive perfect if I want to go onto my desktop and continue working on my file. And yes I love the windows OS as well, and the easy workaround with that is just starting up the Boot Camp application that comes pre installed with any MacBook and you can instantly start using windows on your Macbook. I see no problem working with this, and graphical fidelity is obviously not a reason why you should buy this. This is a workstation laptop, not a gaming laptop or computer, and is meant to help your workflow, and not with your leisure time. I love this laptop
Bonus point, these things last forever. I've had my 2013 15" pro for 5 years now. Traveled several countries with me, took a few bumps and drops, and still works like a champ.
Unfortunately I don't want to upgrade to the touchbar version because I don't like it. I'm hoping they come back with function keys for their higher end models next go-around.
The thing I like most about my Mac, is that I bought it in 2012 refurbished for around $1100. Since then it's seen an SSD upgrade and a RAM upgrade, an it's still faster than most of the computers at my work, not to mention it's battery life is stellar. My friend also has a unibody MacBook that had it's battery expand inside the laptop, bulging out the touchpad and the bottom of the case. Took it out and replaced it and everything worked fine.
PC builder here... Just bought a MacBook as well!! Great for editing and even some light animation work..
But i will always come home to my windows gaming rig 🥰
For gaming, hell yea
For me, the MacBook is nice because of two things: build quality and macOS. I can not like Windows, and I just don't know why. I use Windows for all the programs on the job, schools and even games (actually just Pro Evolution Soccer), but for personal things like browsing, writing texts, Netflix, developing web sites and even games like League of Legends, Hearthstone and StarCraft, macOS handle everything very well and I fell better than using Windows.
I tried some versions of Linux, and I really liked it, but since I like Apples's hardware, I will use it's system.
Wendel Lucas Damião For me helpful comment, thanks!
I'm glad that it helped you, if you need something that I can help, just tell me :)
league on macos? i get 50 fps more on bootcamp
Herres I know, but I can't install Bootcamp on my Mac
It's obvious why you prefer it. Mac OS is prettier. It's pretty much the Halo Effect of computers
2:24 "in that video right here"
*points to corner*
*nothing there*
Well, speaking of editing
Tyler Smith There was like a 10 second delay. Give the dude a break.
Tyler Smith you obviously don’t know what your talking about putting in external annotations and video cards is a TH-cam feature not something you do while editing so stop.
Joshua Khall Yes, its a TH-cam feature you can control :) Btw, this was a joke from the start so I hope no one is actually upset
It’s the info tab. The little “I”. So technically he was right
lol
The camera is a low point, however considering the space it is situated in, i dont know if they could fit a better one in.
Unless you want a camera hump?
I hate how people hate on Mac even when they have never used it and tbh its smoother and faster than most Windows laptops and it looks the coolest and sleekest
You don‘t like the camera for that price? Please show the camera of the Dell, which was more expensive 😂
Actually, $1499
, $1799, $1999 for ANY laptop is unacceptable unless the laptop is a beast at gaming. Where did I get those prices from? Well, from Apple's official website of course! This computer is limited and hard to use, I've used one myself, and I just felt limited. I had to ask so many of my friends how to use it, and just ended up selling it. Honestly, Apple fanboys should just stop.🤣
Ryz3n Just because you didn’t know how to use it it’s bad? I fail to see the logic here.
@@kelvinlendof553 Yes but apple isn't made for gamers. It doesn't target that audience, it never has. Most people who use it tend to be more creative with their work, designers, artists, writers etc. I fail to see the correlation between you not knowing how to use the Mac and it not being a great laptop
@@kb-fp5vf I'm not sure what his thought process was when he said that but I think what he meant to say was that any laptop that costs that much should have performance that should match that price and not make up for it via build quality and other features that don't necessarily affect the performance of that device. I don't believe this is true and a company should be allowed to charge a premium if they invested more money, time, thought and manpower into other features of their devices which apple clearly does regardless of what anyone thinks. As for being creative though, yeah Mac users don't buy Macs for gaming and it is mostly for productivity or for casual usage. That being said though, these workloads are completely possible on the windows/Linux side of things and furthermore those two OS families have other features to offer and in the end whenever all these OS are compared, windows/Linus OS are usually found lacking in only a few workload comparisons with MacOS but are never found to be unable to do it altogether and because of that I think it is still worth pointing out that the MacOS ecosystem is great at a lot of things especially integration with other devices but severely limiting at a FEW other tasks as well.
I'm a PCMR guy but I also own the newest Macbook Pro and I love it.
So how has your experience been a few years in to mac os?
you just contradicted yourself
Finally someone talks about these perfect speakers.
Nice review. I would add a couple of things. 1-With Parallels or WMWare you really run virtual windows machines that are fast, reliable even better than being on windows (besides gaming). One gets messy? Drop a copy or revert to snapshot. 2-MacOS is amazing. 3-2nd hand value? You'd be surprised how well Macs hold their value in time. If you buy them well (10% discount is easy to find) after a couple of years that machine's value is around 70% of what you paid. 4-Ridiculously reliable, with amazing customer care (Apple Store and more). 5-Expensive? TCO it's good entry price they're very much so.
So overheating is not an issue?
I have this computer. It is an issue :(
@@aamircontractor4708 i have this one as well.. after ruing diagnostic tool it appeared that there was some issues with the fan.. after opening it up and trying to spin the fan manually it was stuck, so i had to disassemble the whole thing just to take out the fan and remove piece of dust that prevented the fan from spinning.
By the way if anyone is thinking about buying a Mac + Final Cut Pro, buy the education bundle if you're a student! $200 gets you ALL the Apple Pro Apps (FCP, Logic, etc). I think they require a .edu email address for the software bundle, but the education discount on Apple hardware appears to be an honor system.
I bought both together, and I wasn't asked for any proof. Maybe if I just wanted the software it would have been different.

Jordan Roy? fuck microsoft. Windows is the only "good consumer os" and that makes them be able to charge so much for it
Little R Gaming So much.... I got it for like 10 bucks
I will be traveling a lot soon and I don't know if I should buy the MacBook pro 13 or 15, I know the 15 is made for video but 13 is smaller, it's been 2 months now that I still don't know what to pick... how much slower the 13 will be compare to the 15 with FCPx can you help me ?
I hope you have made a decision by now😂
7:23 is the iPhone 10 seriously more powerful than this?
Really good and fair review. I’m confused by one of your last statement, though: “the operating system is limiting, for some”. Just curious what you’re thinking of. As a Unix/Linux guy I feel completely crippled on a Windows machine, specifically because *nix isn’t under the covers. What is MacOS missing? Is it the games/apps people want to run? If so, that makes sense. Is it something else?
I like your point re the build quality. I’ve realized over my many years that most people don’t care how crappy something feels in use, or how inelegant it looks. I care a lot, and am willing to pay (a lot) more for not-a-hunk-of-plastic.
My two cents from a guy who basically used all of them . I grew up on a MacBook 2008 that took me through my entire high school , back then I used to Mac os and windows.
I built my first PC and was using Windows 7 at the time I think solely and just used that for games.
I went to uni and did my degree in cs and I basically played around with Linux to the poijnt where , things made sense , by the end of uni , I can't use anything else to write code except for any Linux distro with i3 gaps ported.
Now I own a hp zbook , for my job and I love except it's super heavy . And 2 PC's 1 gaming , 1 for the family and 1 server.
What I really want , is Mac hardware and like complete Linux support. I think lots of people really love to bash on Mac os , and I personally think the os is actually pretty good you know . Windows is too much of a clutter fest for me to like use besides playing games, especially for development , you need to jump through 400 hoops to get something working.
People keep forgetting , apple can charge anything they want because they have a monopoly on devices running the Mac / iOS ecosystem , since they own it .
How about making a video comparing Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, and Resolve 14?
i have the exact same one, and the only complaint is that both t3's are on the left...
the amount of two is enough, i dont understand what people connect except charge and essd
Really enjoying the community comments on this video. Sometimes the best part of the video is the peeps that come to watch it.
I want a girl to look at me they way Greg looked at his video @5:10
keep dreaming kid
Megalodon Lol, it seems when someone doesn't know how to insult me they go after my anime profile pic. Quite surprising coming from someone who made minecraft lets plays.
Aren't you the guy who has insane coil whine on his XPS 13 (like the rest of us ) ? So, how can you be very satisfied with the XPS ?
The price is really the greatest disadvantage 😂
I have a 13" 2012 version. I take it with me on all my trips and it has survived all the knocks, falls, bangs and keeps on working.
The build quility alone is what is preventing me going back to a Windows-based Plastic laptop.
Mind you, this little MBP has 16gig of ram and a 1 TB HD
I just starting using same computer this week (daughter provided a chromebook by her high school so I took this from her lol ) and I love it and im typing this from a Samsung phone and haven't used an apple phone since 2011
for me the drawbacks are
-The os, i dont like the interface
-The price
-The port selection
limitations of hardware selections
Would this be good for programming (software engineering) in college
Probably want a Windows for programming as they have the most software.
You pay more so you DON'T have to use Windows. There is no price too high for that 💰
Yeah right.. What is Linux for after all? Smh
your forehead is mesmerising
Joao Rocha lmao linux is shit
Ata Kalin Linux is fun...
LethalTarget could fit a MacBook Pro in there eh?
I got a MacBook Pro 15" with Touch Bar free because of the backordered battery issue on my 2012 model, and ultimately decided to sell it and go back to the older model because I just couldn't stand the touch bar. I missed being able to easily fiddle with volume quickly without having to look. I would've kept it if not for the bar.
Excelent video! I have one question. I am going to buy a MacBook Pro i5 8RAM 128GB. I will use only for web design and the heaviest program will be only Photoshop. My question is if i will be ok with 128GB or i should buy the 256GB version
Is it good for photoshop, Illustrator and Sketch app?
Im asking same question !
@Brendan Geyer what about AutoCad? I'm still looking for a new laptop, can't decide between windows or mac os. Btw i'm a civil engineering student. 🙏🏻
@@zeleniawolfe I'm currently running it on the 256g quad core 13" I have, runs autocad with ease.
@@anothergamer8506 i think i'll buy mac. Thank you!
@@zeleniawolfe I suggest you look into your options first though! I'm sure you might've been searching for quite some time now but look into your options! I've heard there are amazin' spec windows laptops that also get the job done. Mac gets the job done as well (depending of the variation of it with the specs) but you pay for what works best for you.
MacBooks also last for years with no issues and their customer support is fantastic if it ever does need service.
"I've streamed Netflix for about 12 hours..." 😂 Samee
I bought the 13 inch MBP w/o touch bar a couple days ago. I bought the 2.3GHz with 256GB SSD drive. The retail price was $1499 but I purchased it for $1249(no tax) at the Navy exchange. Everything there is tax free and it was on sale for military members😀. One of the perks of being in the military. I don't do any video editing or gaming for that matter, but I had a 17inch touch screen acer laptop that I was using for about 5 years only for school and decided to finally upgrade to my very first apple computer. I am apple everything, iPhone 7, Apple Watch, so why not? I am fairly impressed with this system. Very crisp display and the SSD make it super fast for it to open programs and what not. I could have bought the 3.1GHz MBP with touch bar for $1500 but I didn't see that much of a difference to spend that extra $250. Overall, fairly impressed.
where can i get the mat on your table? it looks so awesome
Watching this on the MacBook Pro 13 that I just got today lmao
with i5 or i7 proccesor and do you recommend it??
The first positive review I’ve seen so far! Can’t wait to get mine soon!
You should build a Hackintosh.
Nicholas Th YEEEESSSSSS. HACKINTOSHS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!
LOL. They're awesome until you accidentally do a system update and screw up everything.
Not to mention all the hops you have to go through to get it correctly working. My HP laptop has an Intel wireless card which isn't supported by macOS. So that means no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Jose Javier Flores ya I see your point but I find it fun and rewarding to spend the time making it work. Yes system updates can screw things up but you can still get the data back to back up then try again. It's a really fun challenge I feel to get a hackintosh up and working. I spent a total of about 3-4 hours to set up mine and another 2 hours to update it to Mac OS Serra.
gee then don't update because they're not mandatory unlike with windows
He should, I surely love mine :)
I also use macbook for MacOS. Windows is just a pain in the ass!! Is baseline macbook pro worth it vs 2018 macbook air?
Pretty awesome to see an unbiased review. I have always used apple products at home, but have always felt much more comfortable with a Windows / PC setup at work and in a business setting. Too many people are too closed-minded to recognize the merits of both and take them for what they are. Thanks for keeping it real!
All my professors scoffed at us for using final cut x because avid media composer was the industry standard. I have not once since college heard of anybody cutting anything on Avid
So basically it's more for youtubers rather than the casual user?
Macs are basically made for mac users, it's not very appealing to get into it but once your in you don't want to leave.
I have a mac for school, it is straight ass and i wish i could use something else.
Yes, I used Windows for my whole life (95, XP, and Vista) then my dad buys an iMac when I was 10 years old. I was so excited because I liked Apple back then and then I slowly started to hate macOS, because it was hard to use keyboard shortcuts. A lot of hacks were only for windows too so I hated it. PC' s are better in every way to me. I can't go back to macOS. As he said in the video "the OS might be a little constraining for some people" but he really means, "it's crazy restrained".
@Sam Stringer I strongly disagree lol... the only real thing windows does better is games... anything else is crappier. Ok it is cheaper but better... hell no. if I could eliminate windows from my life I would be a Linux/Mac only guy.
Fabio Guedes Better is subjective. But it is a fact that Windows and Linux can do MUCH more than OS/X. Mac can do things that those also cannot, but it's so small it's almost nothing. Although I do find the OS/X interface very pleasing to look at.
: I bought mine today.. my first Mac.
I’m excited.
Btw... you’re cute.. ;-;...
kareincolor lmao
The only thing I bought the touch bar model was the extra ports. Using it for 8 months now, I still find the touch bar gimmicky.
I'm still happy with my 2012 superdrive macbook pro, upgraded for 200 bucks to 16GB RAM and 1 TB SSD... it survived some serious drops and daily abuse on my bed/couch... not sure if I would profit much from an update to this machine.... it looks quite fragile.... in exchange for all the ports gone, did they make it at least 5 meters water-proof ? :D

The base model costs around 1800 dollars (1499€) here in Austria... for fucks sake why...
Import tariffs. It’s the fucking EU that’s costing you more. So in Britain we leave the EU to get better prices on foreign goods
George Gear Makes no difference mate, import tariffs will affect whether we're in the EU or not. In fact things will be even shitter when we leave since Brexit will mean no free trade with the EU meaning more FUCKING tariffs.
Kevin Connolly yeah if you wanna buy a merc or a Hugo boss suit. But a MacBook won’t because it doesn’t get made or shipped through the EU meaning we won’t be seeing a guaranteed rise in price in the future unlike poor Austria who are having these sort of decisions on import tariffs made for them. And it’s not like this guy can vote for a new politician who will change this, because EU politicians aren’t elected so they’re effectively stuffed
George Gear Apple products get made in China. The EU is China's biggest trading partner. If we leave the EU this trade agreement will no longer exist. China would prioritise a trade agreement with the EU over Britain as everything we can offer in terms of exports the EU can offer 10x better and cheaper. This is because the falling pound means manufacturers based in the UK have to pay more to import foreign goods like raw materials, so thus to cut losses must charge more to export their finished products. This all leads to increased inflation which results in the value (price in this case) of products we buy rising and the money we use to buy them with not. This is why consumer based products like those from Apple are so expensive at the moment. I'm afraid to say that the uncertainty around Brexit is pretty much the root cause of all of this as foreign investors (which we rely on) move away deciding to save and invest elsewhere. This causes the pound to dip even further which only exacerbates the issues mentioned above whilst also increasing the liklihood of a recession which would negatively impact employment and total average income. The two main reasons why Apple products are cheaper in the USA is due to non-existent or low VAT in some states as well as Apple themselves pricing their electronics cheaper there. America's population is alot bigger than ours as well so VAT can afford to be much lower. The UK on the other hand benefits extensively from imposing VAT on its products which is why when we leave the EU, despite what Theresa May might say, I expect VAT to further rise to partly offset any financial damages Brexit might cause to the economy. This will again lead to things being more expensive to buy than if we had stayed in the EU. 😉
Kannst ja in der Schweiz kaufen...
Thanks for an informativ review. Just bought myself a MacBook Pro 15" retina mid 2015 model with 256 SSD disk and 16 GB of RAM already installed. This previous model comes with more connections than the later model you reviewed so that's an advantage. So if you do not need the latest model for some reason earlier models are still for sale at a better price and with more connections.
Michael Davis i
was yours new or refurbished? how much did it cost? thanks!
Xgamer412 how is it?
How’s going your macbook? Do you have any keyboard issues?
I have the opportunity to get a late 2017 MacBook Pro 13” 128gigs storage - 8 gigs ram for only $600. Should I do it?! I feel like the storage is a little weak, and I wanted a 15”. But it’s such a good deal. What do you think?
i'm not aware there are new macbook pro without the touch bar. interested in getting this
"The fan only turns on when [...] or I'm on a Skype call and doing some things in the background like opening some tabs on Chrome" - Sounds like minimal use, so I hope you're not serious because that's NOT good design.
bruh... you know how ram and power hungry chrome is right? Is you PC lagging? Prob coz you have 10 tabs open. And unlike the macbook pro 2019, it doesn't wait too long to turn on the fans, thus destroying the pc...
Do you think 128 gb are enough ? Make a video about that plz :cccc
Sharky :D I know I am late,but it is perfectly enough,but I think you should consider buying the sd card adapter so that you can have your sd card on your macbook all the time
its not enough @@AdinTheKid and card transfer is soo slow
I got the 8GB with 256 SSD as a birthday gift for school, but I just hope it works ok for programs Solid Work or Rhino as I'm a design student :/
a student.
No SolidWorks for mac unfortunately, I have a macbook pro and love it but as far as any sort of engineering design software you are pretty limited. If you partition part of your drive and load windows, the laptop itself will perform very well and you will kind of have the best of both worlds but 256GB is a little low for two operating systems and heavy duty software
Is there a big bump in performance from the Macbook to this Macbook Pro for video editing in Final Cut?
Just bought one + a battery bank that can charge it fully three times. Shouldn't ever have to use a wall socket.
A Mac does have it's place. Not with me but possibly with you.
I’d take Mac OS over the dumpster fire that is Windows 10 any day.

Fill0092 I'm running boot camp on my 2017 MBP and windows definitely doesn't run as well as Mac OS
It's because you can't afford a MacBook lool
i can afford a mac why you think i cant
owning both, I can say the Huawei matebook x is on par with the macobook in terms of build quality. it comes in at 1100 bucks, but the microsoft store has it for 899. either way it's a cheaper alternative running windows which I personally prefer.
kyle brod I
Why would u get the cheapest model? I have the top of the range 15 inch with touchbar and with a egpu and raid thunderbolt 3 it's perfect
I got a base model 2018 MacBook Pro a few days ago. I'm a graphic designer, and even though I have a very powerful desktop PC, I needed a portable computer to take to work and client meetings. It's great! It allows me to do really responsive 2D editing with Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Lightroom. Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't work with massive raster images on it, but it's really worth the £1200 I paid for it for the power, portability and amazing user experience

I bought a new 2018 MacBook Pro with touchbar..To be honest, it think my mid 2012 MBP non-retina (upgraded to ssd and 8gb ram) is much faster.. damn u apple!
I am surprised you didn't find the keyboard noisy, esp compared to Dell. Typing on a 2015 MPB.
Is this 2017 model and only has 2 usb-c ports on the left side?
Greg is broken again , need to reboot him.
I'll leave a like because... why not?
NGL, I subbed because you're very handsome. Thanks man!
I bought MacBook 15” pro 2012 I like it with CD drive in it, but it’s heavy to travel around. I also have iPad Pro 9.7 inch bought from 2017. I travel every year for fun and start blogging, videos and I am thinking buying MacBook Air to travel and editing laptop.
What can you suggest Greg? MacBook Air? Or MacBook Pro 2019?
I’ve considered getting this model. Only thing I’ll be doing is GarageBand. Would 8gb of RAM be enough for the haul?
Reasons why I would never buy a Macbook:
1- Price.
2- OS: Most of the engineering programs I use do not have full compatibility with MacOS.
3- Horrible port selection > Must add a price premium for good dongles > Price.
4- Everything is soldered.
5- Underperforming GPU (if it exists) compared to similarly prices (or cheaper) Windows laptops.

1. You'll be hard pushed to find a Windows alternative with the same or better specification for much less.
2. Thats fair enough, although Bootcamp does exist.
3. A price premium? A dongle costs about $5, a usb hub cost me less than $20. On a $1,000+ purchase?
4. Fair enough
5. Eh? The GPU, which is a higher spec than competing laptops from Dell etc, performs fine for me and I develop games on it!
USB HUB PRIJS 65 EURO@@MichaelGGarry
@@karelhermans6441 Without even trying:

USB-C to A cable 3 Euro:

Outside of Europe I got them cheaper than that.
MacBook Pro 13" + Linux
:D
128 gig of storage is so 2004, Yes I know it is SDD but come on.
A lot of people basically "live" in the cloud now anyways. Honestly I only use this for school work and I store all of my documents on OneDrive. So I really don't have the need for that much storage. I understand that other people might though.
Industry leading SSD too
I personally have 512GB on mine, and would never buy anything lower than 256, but I can definitely see how 128GB would be enough for some people, especially if they use it as a secondary device to a desktop.
It's very nice that people like you still exist. Usually, windows users and guys who build PCs, blame everything about Apple. It's not the best company out there but you get the point. Very cool video! :)
what did u do to make the desk "black transparent"
