The new MacBook Pro (2016) Hands On! #Helpful Post

yo guys Johnson here as a wise man Ice

Cube once said today was a good day

because finally Apple dropped their

brand-new completely redesigned MacBook

Pros

now personally one of the things I was

most excited to hear was the

introduction of a Space Gray MacBook Pro

kind of hoped for a matte black to be

honest but not gonna lie the 15-inch

MacBook Pro and Space Gray has my name

all over it this also applies to the

13-inch MacBook Pro so in addition to

the brand-new space grey color both are

thinner and lighter the 15-inch MacBook

Pro weighs in at 4 pounds and is 15.5

millimeters thin whereas the 13-inch

MacBook Pro is 3 pounds and 14.9

millimeters thin now without question

the most attractive thing about these

MacBook Pros aside from the design is

the brand-new oled touch bar so what it

is is an all-glass multi-gesture touch

bar that at its core is meant to replace

the function keys on your macbook run

off the bat that is awesome but what

really takes it to the next level is the

fact that it adapts to whichever program

you're using and not just those function

keys I got a chance to mess around with

Final Cut Pro with these new MacBook

Pros and seeing your entire timeline in

that OLED bar and being able to scrub

move around through that is crazy

this trickles down to Safari where you

can no joke see all of your tabs within

the OLED bar and switch back and forth

so for me I am really excited with this

now beyond functionality and programs

and basic controls like brightness and

volume up and down this also brings

touch ID to the MacBook Pro the

immediate obvious benefit of touch ID on

your MacBook Pros when you're purchasing

something online you can then authorize

that with your fingerprint but beyond

that what is actually cooler for me is

you can now log in to your macbook pro

with your finger prints they may have

noticed alongside the 15-inch MacBook

Pro Apple dropped two brand new 13-inch

MacBook Pros which may be a little

confusing what it really comes down to

if we break it down as there is a

13-inch MacBook Pro with the oled touch

bar and one without the baseline 13 inch

MacBook Pro does of course have lower

specs less force but the main difference

between the two is the touch bar now

with that baseline 13 inch MacBook Pro

that brings the death to the 13 inch

MacBook Air

Apple's reasoning behind that is that

the new MacBook Pro is thinner it's

faster it's got a better display than

the MacBook Air which I agree with but

to me it would have made way more sense

just to call it the 13-inch MacBook and

have that live alongside the 12 inch

MacBook because this way is really

confusing regardless though I'll have an

inbox

the brand-new 13-inch MacBook Pro on the

channel tomorrow so definitely

subscribing have it yet on top of that

if that is not a compelling of enough

reason to subscribe I've teamed up yet

again with one of my favorite youtubers

Phil Edie we are giving away not one but

two brand new 13-inch MacBook Pros to

enter first and foremost just make sure

you subscribe here on my channel maybe

drop a like if you're feeling like being

awesome that'll give you a chance to win

the first MacBook Pro and for the second

chance head over to Phil's video which

is linked here and also down below now

as excited as I am with the new MacBook

Pros it was a little bittersweet because

apple straight-up lucile the nuts off of

a few things we've come to love with the

MacBook Pro with new MacBook Pros we say

goodbye to the glowing Apple logo the SD

card slot and last but not least the

MagSafe power connection now in that

order I will get over the glowing Apple

logo the SD card is a little bit of a

bummer because now I will have to use an

adapter for that Mac safe I actually

really like maybe just because I was

clumsy but let me know what you think

but beyond that after everything is said

and done the new MacBook Pros are left

with five ports for Thunderbolt three

ports and surprisingly a headphone jack

quick note like I mentioned the baseline

13 inch MacBook Pro is a little watered

down so that only has two Thunderbolt

ports but the awesome thing with these

under both three ports which run the USB

type-c form factors they are chameleons

as far as functionality goes with any of

these ports you can charge you can

transfer data you can power displays I'm

not going to lie this may be my next set

up but these new MacBook Pros can power

to 5k displays so many pixels beyond

that more positive things with these

MacBook Pros are a bigger trackpad and

when I say bigger I mean way bigger

there's a better display so not only is

it brighter there are more colors and a

higher contrast ratio and I'm actually

really excited about that for me that is

something I always notice on a MacBook

Pro that was never as bright as uses

something like an IMAX I'm welcoming

that with open arms there are better

speakers and if they're anything like

the 12-inch MacBook we are in for a

pleasant surprise

obviously there are new processors

better specs faster performance yada

yada yada but what I am most excited for

as far as that goes is there is now a 2

terabyte option as far as storage goes

on the 15-inch MacBook Pro so all in all

the new MacBook Pros are looking really

impressive I am super stoked for the

15-inch MacBook Pro but again tomorrow I

will have an unboxing the brand new

13-inch MacBook Pro so stay tuned for

that
