13-inch Space Gray MacBook Pro Unboxing! #Helpful Post

yo guys johnathan here and i am back

from the box and the brand new just

released 2016 13 inch MacBook Pro this

time around the box is slightly

different with a pretty slick side

profile shot of the macbook pro

showcasing how thin it is before we

continue though first we got to get

through that plastic and once we're

inside included with the MacBook Pro is

at USB c2 USBC cable the power brick

which connects via USB see and that's

important because that is how you will

now charge the MacBook Pro and last but

not least the Apple literature and what

would a macbook pro unboxing be without

those Apple stickers now taking a closer

look for a second can we all agree that

space grey is insanely attractive and

drop a like if you agree the downside

though with new color comes the death of

the glowing Apple logo but taking a

quick look and comparison against last

year's MacBook Pro not only is this

thinner and lighter if we stack it on

top you can see the smaller in every

possible way the other giant difference

between this year and last year's model

is the trackpad which is humongous

personally I love the bigger trackpad

and because it's based off force touch

and not a mechanical trackpad no matter

where you click or touch it's always

going to be eco which is super enjoyable

and beyond that the other big

improvement with these macbook pro is

the keyboard so this keyboard is

utilizing these second-generation

butterfly mechanism which i actually

like way better than the first generally

12-inch MacBook and even more so than

any previous MacBook Pro I've used now

yes I agree having two 13-inch MacBook

Pros is super confusing in my opinion

they should have just called this the

13-inch MacBook and have it live

alongside the 12-inch model but again

that is beyond my control so with this

model instead of the Ola touch bar

you're getting the old school classic

mechanical function keys now the 13 and

15 inch MacBook Pros with the touch bar

coming out very soon so if you help me I

definitely make sure you subscribe so

you don't miss those the other

difference between this 13-inch MacBook

Pro and the next here up are the

Thunderbolt 3 ports with this baseline

model on one side you are getting 2

Thunderbolt 3 ports which are a USBC

type form factor and on the flip side

surprise surprise unlike the iPhone 7

you are getting a headphone jack now

with this new design there is both good

and bad the good news is with these

under both reports they can do pretty

much anything you can transfer

information you can charge you can

output video to an external display you

are getting crazy bandwidth with

tential for insane speeds in my case

where I already use a USBC SSD

connecting to the MacBook Pro and using

Final Cut to edit was super simple but

on the downside the biggest complaint

I've seen is you can't connect your

iPhone to your MacBook Pro that a dongle

or a USB Sita lightning cable to me

honestly that is not the biggest deal in

the world because I can't remember the

last time I connected my iPhone

physically with a cable to my macbook

but where I do feel Apple jumped the gun

just a little too early was removing the

SD card slot because that is something I

use all the time

granted you could totally do that

through a doc or through a hub but there

are way too many devices out there

currently that use SD card to the medium

which makes things super inconvenient

now the flipside jumping back to some

positive and things that stood out to me

first the display is phenomenal

Apple claiming the screen is brighter

and more colorful is a hundred percent

accurate I'm pretty sure through video

doesn't translate or portray how big of

a difference there is between the two

but in person it is huge that reason

alone for me is a solid reason to

upgrade it totally may not be enough of

a reason for you to upgrade but if you

edit video photos or anything in that

field it is awesome now beyond that the

other thing that really surprised me

with this new MacBook Pro was

performance on paper if we compared it

to last year's 2015 MacBook Pro you

would assume that it's slower the 2016

MacBook Pro is rocking a 2 gigahertz

Core i5 processor whereas the 2015

MacBook Pro is clocked at 2.7 gigahertz

you're getting relatively the same

memory the same integrated graphics but

surprisingly the new MacBook Pro is

slightly faster where I saw the biggest

difference between the two is how fast

the flash stored in the 2016 MacBook Pro

is that clocked in at over 1,300

megabytes per second on the right side

of things I think it broke and kind of

tapped out disk speed test at 2000

megabytes which is insane and conversely

the 2015 MacBook Pro on the right side

of things that was just over six hundred

and forty megabytes per second whereas

the read speeds were just over 1300 now

I will note one giant asterisk on this

test was the actual storage capacity on

these models the new 2016 MacBook Pro

comes standard with 256 gigabytes of

flash storage whereas the old 2015 model

was only 128 in contrast upgrading last

year's model to the same amount of

storage would bring it to the exact same

price so just a little food for thought

in terms of whether or not that adds

value to the new MacBook Pro but

all-in-all I am pretty impressed with

this MacBook Pro and super stoked check

out the models with the touch bar if you

haven't seen it yet there's a chance to

win not one but

two of these brand-new 13-inch MacBook

Pros that is linked here and also down
