The 2018 MacBook Air is Better than You Think #Helpful Post

yo guys Johnson here the madness does

not stop

yesterday was iPad pro today we've got

the 2018 MacBook Air in the house and

all I ask is please for like the first 1

minute and 46 seconds of this video can

we not talk about watts I realize that

might be hard take a deep breath hold it

in look at an RGB light and we will talk

about it I promise there's been a little

controversy with this MacBook Air that

doesn't make sense why does it exist and

contrary to what you may have seen on

the internet so far I'm gonna go out and

say that I think this MacBook Air is

going to be a little better than premium

economy with that said though this is my

first day with the MacBook Air so we're

going to open it up oh man plastic is

become oh man I screwed it up real bad

there's actually a little pull tab so

we're gonna pretend that didn't happen

that's actually very very similar to

that Apple pencil so this also qualifies

as classic plastic pop lid off set that

aside mmm

Space Gray tastier shinier

now initial impressions kind of looking

at this for the first time in person

outside of the event I can definitely

see that macbook air thinness profile or

the MacBook Pros I kind of just stay one

constant thickness the MacBook Air

actually tapers off towards the end so

it's actually thinner here than it is on

the opposite side if you stack it side

by side against the MacBook Pro you can

definitely see that difference from

there moving on to the accessories which

I realize are probably more than likely

going to trigger some people

specifically with this teeny tiny little

guy the 30 watt charger in the box and I

realized people are going to judge it

look at it compare it and say that's

your charger mine is at least twice that

size congratulations I am proud of you

and your giant wall charger that aside

though this actually coincides with all

the drama and controversy with this

MacBook Air and the Y Series chipset

inside this I swear to you the day that

this was announced people were freaking

out going in threads in forums just

being the keyboard warriors that they

are saying that this is trash how could

Apple do this without actually using the

product contrary to that initial

speculation though it's been confirmed

that there's actually a 7y pin site here

as opposed to five which still has

people kind of upset because they need

more power where's my 15 watt process or

how could you possibly do this to me

that out of the way though we have the

USBC cable and finally some apple

stickers and I'm peeking through there

and something looks a little special and

yep we got some Space Gray Apple

stickers I am very very excited right

now I've seen like the classic Mac Pro

black Apple stickers but I've never seen

Space Gray Apple stickers so with the

iPad pro we got the big-ass Apple

stickers and with this we got the

beautiful beautiful Space Gray version

so that a doubt the biggest upgrade with

this MacBook Air it's got to be the

display in my initial impressions video

I said that the previous MacBook Air

display was trash and I realized that

might have been a little harsh but the

thing is if you use retina before and

then went back to that there's

absolutely no way you couldn't notice

the difference beyond that there are a

ton of other improvements better

speakers which blow the previous MacBook

Air out of the water and I will

definitely have a comparison in my for

view you have touch ID which is missing

on the 13-inch MacBook Pro without touch

bar even

a trackpad so even though people are

kind of dismissing this early in the

game as you can see there's quite a bit

to look forward to now for those that

watch the channel you guys know I like

to put things through its paces test

them out see how they actually perform

in the real world but not gonna lie I'm

a little curious to see the initial

performance comparison Geekbench of this

MacBook arrogancy slightly more

expensive 13-inch MacBook Pro without

touch bar so grabbing the 13-inch

MacBook Pro they're very similar I can

definitely actually already feel the

weight difference on this 13-inch

MacBook Pro over the MacBook Air and

again right there I think that's going

to be a selling point for a lot of

people so I got Geekbench for loaded up

on both the MacBook Pro and the 2018

MacBook Air my initial impression or

actually prediction rather is that yes

this MacBook Pro is probably gonna be

faster but again the point of this

MacBook Air is not going to be sheer

performance but rather getting somewhere

close but giving you a lighter and more

portable form factor so we're getting

close so the MacBook Air actually just

finished up with a single core score of

43 12 and a multi-core score of 7,000

846 from there we have the MacBook Pro

finishing up and we're actually way

closer than I would have expected single

core performance they're pretty much

just like equal 44 66 on the MacBook Pro

43 12 on the MacBook Air the MacBook Pro

does have a faster multi-core score of

93 40 but again based off this having a

measly 7 watt Y Series chip the

performance isn't as huge as maybe some

would have guessed again the point of

this MacBook Air is not to be a

powerhouse it's going to give you

MacBook Pro like performance put in a

smaller and more portable form factor on

top of that you have things like touch

ID which is missing on this MacBook Pro

you have the t2 chip inside the MacBook

Air and one thing I also want to address

is the comparison against the 12-inch

MacBook and one huge advantage of this

over that is going to be the fact that

you have Thunderbolt 3 ports as opposed

to just USB C so initial impressions of

the MacBook Air I think maybe once again

people have jumped the gun just a little

early I though I'm excited to test this

out to put it through its paces and if
