1
00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:09,440
some of you may know that i'm a mac user at least my laptop is a mac i've got a 2011 uh

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:15,120
macbook pro 15 inch at home it's showing its age now as i've said before

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,039
but uh i haven't really had much love

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:21,680
for the apple uh replacements over the years i mean the 16 inch here

5
00:00:19,279 --> 00:00:24,240
is actually pretty nice uh except for the fact that it costs a lot of money

6
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:27,599
today i'm looking at the 13-inch which is

7
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:31,920
apple's brand new 10th gen equipped version of

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:35,360
the macbook pro which promises to bring a lot of the

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,520
features and functionality of the 16-inch down to

10
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:44,320
the 13-inch form factor a lot of people seem to be saying right

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,320
now that the CPU isn't as powerful as

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,440
last gen or it's just as powerful so there's no real improvement but that's

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:53,600
not entirely true the CPU actually has avx 512 support and

14
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:57,120
Intel's deep learning boost those two things can and will improve

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,960
performance dramatically over the traditional coffee-like refresh type of

16
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:05,519
cpus that we've been seeing over the past however many years i mean they're

17
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:09,119
all skylake but this is icelake and with it comes not only those new

18
00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:16,320
features but also a new gen 11 GPU the

19
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:18,400
iris plus g7 yeah g7

20
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:22,080
promises double the performance over Intel's uhd graphics or better

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,119
you know what this is a little bit too complex let's just get into it shall we

22
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:29,920
thanks to private internet access for sponsoring this video it's a vpn that allows you to browse the internet

24
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,200
uses a safe protected ip you can connect up to five devices

26
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:46,399
with their 30 day money back guarantee at the link below as i understand it we've already opened

27
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:53,040
this up unfortunately the shrink wrap is off but this should all be pretty virgin so

28
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:57,280
let's pop the lid here ah there we go oh the apple's upside

29
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,799
down well whoever put it in did a poor job

30
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,319
spoilers it was me the fact that the outer wrapping has been taken off

31
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:09,360
means that i cannot i can't i just can't

32
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:11,599
so i'm just going to have to do this number

33
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:17,840
which is just the most

34
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:21,520
unsatisfying unboxing we've got this little

35
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,640
designed by apple in california booklet

36
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,879
and i think there's some stickers in here too yeah there they are

37
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:31,440
oh they're silver we also have a nice chunky

38
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:34,480
usb type-c cable that's a little bit

39
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,840
messier than i anticipated it would be

40
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:41,120
yeah should handle the job of the uh

41
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,239
included 61 watt power adapter

42
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:47,360
the CPU in this new

43
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:48,400
generation of macbook is actually a fair

44
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,319
bit more power hungry okay oh no there's

45
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:57,680
some scuffs on it already guys oh we just bought this like this

46
00:02:56,239 --> 00:03:01,519
wasn't sent to us or anything we bought this hopefully they'll buff out let's see

47
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:05,200
what's inside here pretty standard stuff got this little

48
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:11,120
screen protector oh it's actually already on that's cool actually let's quickly um

49
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:22,159
compare i might be imagining it but i feel like

50
00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:25,360
there's a shorter throw on the 13-inch could also be that it's

51
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:29,120
not as broken in yet this is a little bit more used it's a

52
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:33,280
little bit annoying that apple requires two-factor authentication but it's also

53
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:38,400
pretty nice that they have it and pretty nice that it works you have an apple device oh you're

54
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:42,319
setting up a new one well your apple device is your authenticator like you don't have any

55
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,760
special app or anything it's just oh hey you've logged in somewhere do you

56
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,440
want to approve this yes there it is while we're waiting for this

57
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:55,120
setup it's worth noting that there's actually two different models of the 13-inch

58
00:03:52,799 --> 00:03:58,480
macbook pro in 2020 right now there is this newer model with ice-like

59
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:03,280
CPU which is a little bit more expensive and

60
00:04:00,959 --> 00:04:07,519
there's also the refreshed model from mid 2019 it's still on the inside

61
00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:11,680
just the same laptop as the previous gen macbook pro

62
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,320
don't want to set up touch id right now maybe later or never if i didn't set up

63
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:22,000
touch id why do i want to set up apple pay true tone display always glad that it

64
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,520
doesn't allow you to change that from there they just say hey check out

65
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:29,280
this whiz-bang feature we have isn't it great a lot of things about

66
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:32,639
apple setup i really like there's a lot of painless stuff and then

67
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,880
there's also a lot of really stupid stuff like that some of the things that

68
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:39,440
uh Linus and i actually agree about with the mac experience

69
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,840
i don't know let's let's start with the speakers i'll just play some supernova

70
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,840
here

71
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:58,960
that's actually pretty good

72
00:04:57,759 --> 00:05:02,290
all right let's let's try it on this here

73
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:14,320
okay first impressions this sounds deeper and the stereo imaging is more

74
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:19,759
natural this feels like it's got more of a fake surround effect

75
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:19,759
but it still sounds pretty good

76
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,800
it's still got a pretty deep sound too

77
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,840
but it feels it sounds more processed if that makes any sense

78
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,919
yeah there's more mids and stuff on this one as well whereas this is more skewed

79
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:38,400
towards bass and treble let's check out the webcam so i'm doing recording right now

80
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:43,600
obviously we're in brightly lit environment everything is

81
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:47,440
basically as ideal as it can be

82
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,280
for a webcam but there is still a lot of

83
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:53,280
noise in this image if i tilt it down a little bit so it's

84
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,840
not looking directly into the light you can still see noise i think this is

85
00:05:55,039 --> 00:06:04,319
the same webcam literally that is in my 2011. it's the facetime hd webcam 720p

86
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:08,240
it's nothing special we'll see how the audio sounds though

87
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,319
from what i understand the audio uh setup with the three microphones should

88
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:14,160
be very good so uh i don't know if you want

89
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:19,039
to try and make some background background noise yeah a little bit of

90
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:22,960
that's coming through but uh let's see if it actually

91
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:28,080
see if that causes any kind of

92
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,560
distortion in my voice or anything like that if you can still hear my voice or

93
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,720
not as far as the screen goes you can't

94
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:39,039
really make it out very well here yeah so the screen is what we expect

95
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:42,720
it's an apple retina display it's 2560 by 1600

96
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:46,840
which is that 16 by 10 aspect ratio that apple has

97
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,919
thankfully continued to embrace the builds

98
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,800
inflexible there are a couple of things that i can say about

99
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:56,880
the exterior though there is a little bit of flex in the screen as one might

100
00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:00,240
expect of a screen this thin but it's nothing to worry about i don't think

101
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:04,240
there's any deck flex in the keyboard oh there's a little bit so compared to the 16 inch the trackpad size is a little

102
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:08,319
bit smaller but you'd expect that of something with a keyboard that is the same size as you

103
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:15,039
can see the escape key is physical wonderful

104
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,960
love it just like the 16 inch and

105
00:07:15,039 --> 00:07:19,520
we also have that separated touch id sensor as well

106
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:24,560
which makes it a lot easier to fumble for in the dark if you're i don't know making purchases

107
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:28,720
late at night for reasons uh the touch bar is the same hitter

108
00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:32,319
miss i guess a lot of people are kind of polarized on

109
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,639
i think it's okay one thing that is very interesting

110
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:40,400
between these two machines is that

111
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:42,720
on previous gen 13-inch macbook pros

112
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:48,960
we had two Thunderbolt ports on the side here tldr the new one has

113
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:51,919
four the 2020 refresh of the old version

114
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:54,879
still only has two that's a thing that's exclusive to the ice lake version of the

115
00:07:53,919 --> 00:07:59,680
machine right now hopefully in the next year we

116
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,840
won't have any of those legacy machines anymore which will mean that

117
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:08,319
for everybody at every price point you'll have those four

118
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,800
Thunderbolt ports as an apple user it

119
00:08:08,319 --> 00:08:15,120
is certainly something that feels a lot better to me

120
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:17,360
than recent iterations just like the 16

121
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:20,720
inch over here it doesn't offend me in the same way that

122
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:25,680
some of the other ones did with their soft escape key and butterfly switches

123
00:08:23,919 --> 00:08:29,520
it's got quite a bit more power under the hood as far as that goes

124
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:34,000
it also comes standard with 16 gigs of RAM and a 512 Gigabyte SSD

125
00:08:31,919 --> 00:08:36,959
these are things that cost money obviously and this is why this is the

126
00:08:35,839 --> 00:08:40,240
more expensive model with that being said the RAM is actually

127
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,000
a lot faster than previous gen previous gen used 2133

128
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:50,959
megahertz ddr3 memory this is 37 33 megahertz ddr4

129
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:53,279
it is significantly faster than most people actually have on their desktops

130
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,519
right now while actually guzzling quite a bit less

131
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:02,720
power i'm really excited to take a look at this in more detail

132
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:05,120
if you guys want to see that as well

133
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:09,440
maybe see a bit of a head-to-head between this

134
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,720
and the 16-inch or perhaps i don't know

135
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,160
the xps 13. let's let's give it a challenge and put

136
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,279
it up against the desktop as well make sure you get subscribed to LTT for that

137
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:23,200
and make sure you get subscribed to ShortCircuit for more videos like this one

138
00:09:19,519 --> 00:09:23,200
thanks for watching and take care
