But girls tell me that size doesn't matter!

Ash 😂😂

True. But it's future proofed as USB Type-C is the future.

Lita Ziang Makes sense, as I still use my MacBook Air because of the legacy ports but the world needs to move away from usb 3 so usb C can replace all ports and we can have less variations of ports and cords and dongles

I wonder if your MBP's keyboard has ever jammed before?

LE MUSICIEN I really doubt the speakers will provide good reference for mixing. A good pair of headphone monitors is necessary, at the very least. But it’s true that they are so good that watching movies or casually listening to music will be a pleasure.

Deconstruct//Recreate i should clarify. I mix professionally and i have all the gear, softwares interfaces and speakers you name it. It’s nice to have a mix that sounds great in the best environment with great gear but that doesn’t necessarily means it works in real life. in the end it’s all about the end user experience with the music and these speakers provide enough low end and overall clarity to match that « average user » experience, imho. Hence this machine could provide a very decent mixing tool on the go.

Could very well be true. I'll know for sure once I get my hands on my own model, should be arriving soon!

You're gonna love it for sure ! :-D Such a pleasure to speed my days working on this machine.

I hope you will take good care of your mac pro. I see a lot of people have broken keyboard after 2 to 3 months of use

Happy you enjoyed it! :)

Thank you! Happy you liked it

Ewan Moe have you had any problems with the keyboard?

The spec sheet says 48 execution units for HD640 vs 24 on the HD530 graphics. It’s not exactly twice as fast, but nobody wants to hear me give exact decimal values so I said twice as fast. And as for dedicated graphics, I don’t think anyone’s going to believe a 15 watt CPU is faster than a dedicated 45 watt GPU built on the same 14nm architecture.

I have to admit I am only going by having experience of using both models and not by using hard data or specifications.

Rodrick HD i have a 2017 mbp 15 . Its worth it. BATTERY LIFE IS A BIT SHORT THO

Why don't you use FCP?

Nasi Bami macbook pro 2017 is in all better than the air 2018

L L really? I’ve been thinking to buy this laptop but concerned about the keyboard

L L which keyboard cover you bought? is it Mosiso Ultra Thin?

Shantanu Mishra what makes you say you can’t video edit

That and give the touchbar taptic feedback like the trackpads. Feels a bit lacking to me

Stefan Peters New MacBook Pro will only be released in 2019

Nobody knows. I think it's likely that new MacBook Pros will be released this year, but they might not address the keyboard issue at all and it'll probably just be a spec update.

Good luck finding a refurb 13" 2015 from Apple

For me the choice was rather between a new 13" 4 core one and a refurb 2015 15" one. Since Apple didn't announce any new devices, I'm getting the latter.

I've never tried the 2013 keyboards, but I have tried the 2015 MBP ones and I don't prefer them over the butterfly switches. I do wish the butterflies had more travel, but overall I like the butterfly more. Coming from a 2013 though you might not like them a whole lot. Little bit of perspective here - I've only used the 2010 13" MBP, and then I switched to a desktop with a mechanical keyboard. Blues if you're curious. After about 2 years with my desktop, I bought the 2016 15" MacBook Pro and had no complaints. Got the keyboard replaced with the newer 2017 keys because the longer keys were soft and had no clicky feel to them (shift, space, tab, etc). Since then I've experienced the b key activating twice like 10 times over the course of a little under a year so it's very infrequent, but enough for me to notice and remember. They're good, but I'm gonna suggest waiting for the 2018 laptops if you're not in a hurry.

Does it mean keyboard in 2017 version is better than 2016?

Shut up dude

128GB storage is extremely little for photo work, especially if you're using RAW files. At minimum I'd recommend getting an external hard drive or upgrading to 256GB. The 13" will work fine for the Adobe apps, although some 3D features won't work in PS because it doesn't have dedicated graphics. But AutoCAD is gonna be real tough since it's graphics heavy and the 13" only uses integrated graphics and dedicated graphics are only available on the 15" models. I would ask on a forum like tomshardware or reddit.com/r/suggestalaptop. Generally speaking, 13" laptops don't have powerful graphics. 15" Laptops are bigger and have more cooling to support fast graphics cards for heavy 3D work

performance is yes but i'm not sure with the storage, you can still buy it but you need an external harddisk

No chance. You would need a dedicated graphics card at the very least. Don't even bother to get this if you're going to be using AutoCAD.

I’m personally not a fan of headphones, and I can’t move external speakers with me every time I want to lay on my bed or sit on the sofa. That’s where built in speakers come in. I also prefer to have my desk as minimal as possible so no mouse, keyboard, monitors or speakers. But that’s just me.

Alright, I see!

SadieeMel 2017 Mb Pro or 2018 Mb Pro

I wasn't clear enough - I was comparing just the integrated graphics in that case. Intel HD530 vs Intel HD 640. Intel's spec page says the 640 has twice the execution units as the 530, so roughly twice as fast. The 15" Pro has weaker Intel graphics, but the AMD card is much faster than both Intel GPUs.

No failures yet, but I got a free retrofit. Swapped my 2016 keyboard with a 2017 one. During that 3-5 day period I got a maxed out 2017 15” to use so all in all not too big a deal if you do experience a failure. I also occasionally play some games in Windows which heats the CPU and GPU to around 80-85c for around 2 hours at a time, still good.

15 has discrete. These are just integrated.

Emilio Stadthagen is it huge compared to the 12 inch?

Space gray, ez.

Idan Hevroni you’ve probably already bought a computer, but I would absolutely recommend a MacBook. I’ve used MacBook’s extensively for the past 8 years and have never regretted it. I’ve had a 2007 MacBook (2.0 ghz core 2 duo.) A 2011 15” MacBook Pro (2.0 ghz Quad Core i7, amd Radeon graphics), A 2014 MacBook Pro Retina 15” (2.5 ghz Quad Core i7, Nvidia GeForce 755m) and a 2015 MacBook Air 11” (1.6 ghz Dual Core i5, intel hd 6000 graphics). All of them except the air have been my personal computer for over a year each (3 for both the pro’s.) They’ve been reliable, fast, and enjoyable to use. The air is my school assigned MacBook that I get to use both at home and at school during the school year. I enjoy using the air for document editing, productivity, and light video tasks (iMovie). The only downfall of the air is the horrible screen, 1366x768 in 2018 is laughably bad. It’s really noticeable during all tasks. The 14’ MBPr is a fantastic computer that’s very very powerful and enjoyable to use. The screen is gorgeous and the speed is perfect for heavy final cut editing, photoshop, and light gaming (OS X sucks for gaming but the computer will do well on Win10. ) I recommend getting a MacBook with the Retina display at least (don’t buy the air) and unless you need lots of power, the base MBPr like this or the MacBook is perfect for school work, productivity, and light video/photo editing. The size and design are perfect for a student and the battery life is incredible. Plus apples support has always been great for me and their products have been long lasting and reliable.

Tyler Beeson Yes, I bought a MBP 2017 13' with touch bar, and it's amazing. It's powerful and I'm enjoy it very much. Thank you!👌

Carlos Rodriguez facts

Hardik Gupta yes

Hardik Gupta no. Terrible for comp sci students. It’s only for engineering students.

Answer this, please

Still overpriced xd

I have 7 Gf's i mean personally I think it’s priced pretty good bc your paying for a very quality experience with the laptop that you can’t get with any windows laptop. And yeah I know the dongles are a pain but after a while you get used to it. And plus other laptops in this compact area serving the same purposes costs about the same maby 100$ difference.

brennon mitchell i use mbp 2015 and i love it but still this thing is overpriced, my opinion the next mbp will using intel vega m graphic but the price will go higher too

brennon mitchell well we buy a laptop for 1200 but we still need to buy the dongle and dongle itself cost around 100$-200$

I have 7 Gf's what country are you from? Where I am dongles cost no more than 15 bucks

same and no I didn't find any problems with the keyboard, though I type faster with "normal" keyboard. The keyboard takes some getting used but the trackpad is so worth it that they keyboard does not even bother. When I had a windows laptop, I always used a mouse cuz I just hated the trackpad but now I only use mouse when gaming!

does the 128 storage is enough for you?

MrChubib0 yea i still have 40gb storage left and i have 3 games, MS office and like 5 other programs on my mac. If i need to store my photos somewhere, I'll use external hard drive. So yea 128gb is totally fine unless you need a lot of space for for example videos and editing them and stuff

I actually have the 256gb.

When I first got this laptop, I had to get used to this kind of keyboard. Prior to own this laptop, I had the 2014 Macbook Air. Now though I am used to it.

For some reason I totally died with this video. Delayed it an entire week

FlyingSpartan they would never do so!

Ikr, dumb bitch apple

Jatin Uppal Why not?

FlyingSpartan they wouldn’t put a dedicated GPU in 13 inch macbook pro because the major factor that helps in sale of 15 inch is it’s dedicated gpu .

I was gonna agree that they won't, but there is that new Intel chip with dedicated AMD Vega graphics so that's a possibility. At best it'll be a custom design with lower wattage and will definitely need GPU switching for Apple to use it. Ultrabooks are more low power, thin and light laptops geared for battery life so I really doubt we'll get anything significant.

DonaldBBeats Loading Yes

Nope. Costs something like $300 USD

Lightroom should be fine, but Premiere is a bit more taxing. Relatively simple 1080p edits will work fine on it but if you start using effects and plugins, or you start editing in 4K, that's when it'll start to slow down. Final Cut Pro will let you edit 4K with plugins on this thing but the editing style is very different compared to Premiere. Also, the base model only comes with 128GB and you'll want a bit more than that if you're editing videos. You can either buy the 256GB model or get an external hard drive since they're dirt cheap.

Infinity Labs thanks man! I'm going with the 256 GB!

Lemongrab The Wise I have both 2017 with Touch bar and the 10.5 and tho both are very capable, they serve different tasks. I have to have both.

hey! i was thinking about getting that exact model now, would u recommend me doing so? i mean its almost mid 2019, and im questioning if i should get a brand new 2017 non tocuh bar model. would love to hear ur thoughts! :)

DawnDude I got the 2017 model just now. Its worth it.

@@StrifePulse Have you experienced any issues with the keyboard? I'm thinking of getting a 2017 refurbished model.

@@ManUntdForever No issues whatsoever. I occasionally clean my laptop and keep my things in working order.

I'm actually doing a sound comparison with the Sennheiser MKH 416 and the Blue Yeti right now. Not for a video, but I might just toss it in a pinned comment on a future video.

Infinity Labs which one did you use here,pls?

Any electronic gadget will.

I'd go for it. Assuming that's USD and brand new. If it's used, I'd look around a bit more for a better deal.

$999, $949 for college students until Saturday!

abishek mariyala Apart from occasional stuck keys, not much of a problem

@@Rorypandanda Hi what do you mean by occasional stuck keys? Could you please tell me? I wanna buy macbook pro 2017 model. but I am reluctant because I read a lot of bad reviews about the keyboard? Could you please give me your feedback about the keyboard. It would help me make a decision. Thank You

javaid ahsan it's like if dirt gets under the keys, the keys might get stuck for a while. While this won't prevent you from typing that letter, you lose the tactile feedback which you get from pressing those keys (until the dirt goes out)

It's not much of a problem actually if you keep your laptop clean

Thanks for such a quick reply, could you please explain what u mean by keys get stuck for a while? Like are we talking about mins days hours? And then how do u manage to fix those keys? Thanks a lot your feedback really helps

I probably worded that poorly. So the 13” has double the “cores” on the Intel graphics compared to the 15”, but the 15” has a second high performance GPU that’s even faster. The 15” automatically switches between Intel and AMD graphics to save battery life so what I meant to say was the 13” performs very well in light use (where the 15” would also be using the Intel graphics).

jasper bear maybe they hate it because there are many problems on that keyboard... like dead keys or something

The only issue I had was the b key doing double on two separate occasions. It's been a month since that happened and otherwise no issues. Given the choice, I'd still choose the old chiclet keyboards. Those are far superior

I also have the same problem with the B key

I like how you edited the comment but you're still wrong. Like somehow all my thumbnails AND VIDEOS are from Jonathan. Goddamn dude I must be Jonathan himself!
