Today, khurak.net would like to introduce to you Apple MacBook Pro 13″ (2018): Unboxing & Review. Following along are instructions in the video below:

” s up guys. This is mike the detroit borg and it s great to be be back with some new hardware from apple. So apple has updated the 13 inch 15 inch macbook pro with touch bar so in terms of the 13 inch. The big new bullet points.

Here. Include the new eighth generation quad core cpus. Replacing the dual core. We also get a true tone display hands free siri command and the more important design change here is a redesigned third generation butterfly keyboard.

Which is designed to be quieter and more. Reliable some other minor tweaks include bluetooth 50. A redesigned option key symbol and we also get symmetrical fundable 3 ports both the left and right side have the exact same speed this time the standard configuration starts off at. 1799 then i get to a.

23. Gigahertz core i5 you can upgrade through 27. Gigahertz core i7. 8.

Gigs of ram is standard. But you can look great 16 gigs for 200. I think that might be worth the upgrade price in terms of the ram specs. It s lpddr3.

Which is the same as last year which is clocked at 20 133 megahertz in terms of storage. 256 is standard. But you can upgrade all the way up to 2 terabytes for a mere 1400. And of course.

It s available in silver or space grave first up we have some paperwork and the paperwork is pretty familiar of course. We have a quickstart guide in this case. It s highlighting hi. Sierra.

We also get a set of apple. Stickers. And some warranty info. In terms of our power.

Adapter. Again. This is 61. Watts.

With a usb type c. Connector..

Now. This adapter is a pretty familiar design by now we have folding prongs. Which can be pulled off to add an extension cable or swap out for international wall adapters. But this is actually a redesigned power adapter at least internally inside.

It has been cushioned for better shock protection. But they ve also replaced the metal usbc connector for a plastic design not sure why they did this. But it might be more durable. Now the setup in this case is slightly different to take advantage of some of the new features with this macbook pro.

Now. This is the first mac to use the siri wake up come. And so just like an ios device or your home pod. You can now use your voice for hands free.

Siri. Interaction and of course. You have to train your voice in order for this feature to work. Now.

This works thanks to the t2 chip. And the three microphone array similar to iowa. The t2 chip allows. The computer to monitor for your voice using very little power.

So as long as the computer is open you can command siri. Even when it s locked or sleeping. The weather is looking good on sunday up to 77 degrees. Also new to the mac.

But not new to ios is true tone. So again we get a demonstration of how the true tone display works. So in addition to brightness the adaptive sensors will also measure for color temperature. So.

This will reflect the ambient lighting. Conditions of the room. The computer is in and what s great is true tone extends to attach displays like the lg 5k display or the thunder will display and even the touch bar is using true tone to match the display on the macbook. So that s pretty impressive now because true tone needs to use the ambient light.

Sensors and the t2 chip in the macbook pro to adapt the display color temperature. This will not work if the lid of the macbook pro is closed so for a test displays if you want to take advantage of true tone. You ll need to make sure your macbook pro is open the display is covered edge to edge with a glass panel with a nice anti reflective coating so although we have a glossy display it does one of the best jobs in terms of mitigating glare. That i ve seen on any other.

Laptop the ips display once again is 133. Inches..

With a resolution of 2560 by 1600 that s good for 227 pixels per inch. We get 500 nits of maximum brightness along with the wide color spectrum of the dci p3 spec. We still have a 720p facetime hd camera in the same location as before with an led indicator along with our ambient light sensors in terms of the touch bar. Once again.

This replaces. The traditional function key row for contextual aware and interactive oled display. It s still a really nice looking design then i discover new uses for it every time. But it s still something you have to consciously look at to use face id.

Didn t make it to the mac books just yet. But touch id is still here at the red edge of the touch bar. So. Again.

This is the same touch id. Too sensor. So it s pretty quick and accurate you can use it for unlocking your macbook or for authenticating for passwords or payment. The glass force touch trackpad is still here as well so once again is of a mechanical trackpad.

We have a taptic motor that replicates physical clicks again it s pressure sensitive. Which gives you a new layer to the user interface and is still one of the best track pads on any laptop. There is one visual tweak that s unique to the 2018 model. And that s a slightly redesigned symbol on the option key.

Which is a bit taller than it was from the 2017 redesign. So i m not sure why they keep changing this but hopefully they ve settled on this and they can roll this out to other keyboards later this year once again we get a backlit keyboard with individual led lights for each key. So it s a very clean looking backlight. But by far the most important news here is that apple has added a silicon layer underneath each key camp.

Which is designed to mitigate dust intrusion. So it won t interfere with the operation of the keys. But this also changes the clicking tone of the keys. It s not necessarily quieter.

But it s less annoying so let s go ahead and take a listen to them side by side. Now. Personally. I ve been a big fan of this keyboard design since it came out because it s so fast.

There s less mechanical action and the keys are extremely solid and wide so you can hit the keys really quickly and accurately and this third generation for the most part feels exactly the same. But it s a little softer sounding and initially it doesn t feel quite as crisp as the second generation. But if i wasn t comparing them side by side. They wouldn t know the difference now ventilation is going to be very important for this computer.

Because of those quad core chips and if you go for the i7. You want to make sure this computer can breathe very well now there s lots of ventilation here..

But it s pretty well hidden. So you ll find ventilation inside the hinge as before. But you also find ventilation along the bottom side edge. Which is also part of the speaker design apple also redesigned the internal speaker system so although the speaker grilles on the top are still fake outlets.

The speaker s actually come from the vents on the side. The speakers and the chambers. Have been redesigned for the new larger battery and the effect here is definitely an improvement to my ears. It s not louder.

But the quality of the sound has improved slightly. So there s less of that tinny or muffled sound. And more of a fuller wider sound after christopher pike requests permission to come aboard this is awkward. But the best way to give into a cold street to jump right.

I m here a second man in the discovery under regulation. 19. Section. C.

The bottom of the macbook has a single removable panel. Which is fastened with pentalobe screws and it s protected by four black plastic feet. However this computer. Really is not user upgradeable everything is glued soldered and otherwise currently fixed to the motherboard of this computer.

So make sure you get the configuration you want from the store. Because you can t change. It later. We still get fourth undoable three ports two on the left two on the right and a headphone jack.

But this time the ports on the right side have the same 40 gigs per second throughput as the ports on the left side previously only the 15 inch macbook pro offer this capability. But we finally get it in the 13 inch. So two years later this four port design is still kind of a headache for a lot of people because it will need some adapters to use legacy peripherals. But these high speed ports can drive a 5k display high speed storage.

And most recently. An external gpu apple. Even worked with black magic on an external gpu design. Which i ll feature in a separate video apple.

Did redesign. The battery pack here from five cell to six cell and its larger up to 58 watt hours from 54 and a half watt hours. Now. That doesn t mean we have more battery life it s still 10 hours.
