WEBVTT 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.720 Apple's new Macbook Pro an interesting device for sure but we've seen the 00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:11.360 criticisms that between the lack of an SD card reader its extremely limited 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:16.000 hardware specs considering who it's purportedly aimed at and an IO setup 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:19.960 that will leave the vast majority of people either reaching for adapters or 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:25.840 buying new cables altogether it just doesn't seem geared 00:00:23.080 --> 00:00:30.519 towards professionals at all and on the latest WAN Show we actually threw our 00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:39.079 two cents into the pile every 13in MacBook Pro has no dedicated GPU 00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:42.559 I'm sold no one will ever need more than 8 gigs of RAM they don't even have dual 00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:47.280 they don't even have quad core processors no one needs more than two 00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:51.920 cores Apple didn't bother to respond to our comments directly I guess Tim Cook 00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:56.199 doesn't watch the WAN Show for some reason but one issue has apparently 00:00:54.520 --> 00:01:00.879 generated so much discussion that Apple's Phil Schiller made an official 00:00:58.519 --> 00:01:06.280 statement to the verge defending their decision to limit the MacBook Pro to 16 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:11.560 GB of RAM they claim that putting more than 16 gigs of fast RAM into a notebook 00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:15.960 design at this time would require a memory system that consumes much more 00:01:13.720 --> 00:01:24.920 power and wouldn't be efficient enough for a laptop but how much battery does 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:24.920 RAM use is this a valid defense let's 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.840 investigate 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:39.720 cooler Masters masterc case maker 5 features their free form modular system 00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:44.640 allowing you to customize adjust and upgrade make it yours at the link below 00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:48.040 Apple will have to forgive me when I immediately raised an eyebrow like 00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:51.920 Dwayne The Rock Johnson although I can't do it nearly as well when they announced 00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:57.280 that not only would their base configurations max out at 16 gigs but 00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:02.960 that you wouldn't be able to upgrade it later on consumer stuff I find thisp 00:01:59.880 --> 00:02:05.000 type of locking down less offensive but 00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:09.800 they're doing a lot of stuff that just seems to be designed to make their 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:15.640 Hardware less repairable and more disposable I mean MacBook Pro batteries 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:17.560 are glued to the case and this situation 00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:23.480 is no different with the memory it's soldered onto the logic board Apple's 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:26.519 official explanation was that a memory system with more than 16 gigs of RAM 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:32.680 would draw too much power from the laptop like I said earlier but is that 00:02:29.239 --> 00:02:35.280 really true is 32 GB really too much for 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:39.800 a mobile platform to handle well especially considering many MacBook Pro 00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:45.200 buyers are professional content creators or Chrome users who might actually make 00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:48.599 use of all of that memory to find out we looked at the power consumption of 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:53.239 different memory configurations not just in a laptop but in a desktop as well 00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:59.200 just to dive a little bit deeper our Benchmark on all tests was 5 minutes of 00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.640 the memory stress test only in Ida 64 00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:08.799 extreme for our first test we use 8 gig 6 of Corsair Vengeance lpx ddr4 on our 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:11.560 usual test bench in 816 and 32 GB 00:03:08.799 --> 00:03:16.239 configurations there is a 20 wat Delta in our highest and lowest amounts of RAM 00:03:13.920 --> 00:03:21.720 but was this due to more gigabytes or more RAM sticks so we put our two sticks 00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:28.280 of corser lpx against four sticks of AD data xpg ddr4 since the a data sticks 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.640 were only 4 gigs a piece both setups 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:34.080 came in at a total of 6 GB of RAM the 00:03:31.640 --> 00:03:38.439 four sticks drew a little bit more power but not much more as there was only a 5 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:42.720 watt difference we also looked at how different RAM voltages affected power 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:50.319 consumption putting up two sticks of our 1.2 volt corser lpx against two sticks 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.560 of 1.35 volt Corsair Dominator as with 00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:56.680 our other tests we made sure to turn on XMP profiles to make sure they were 00:03:54.360 --> 00:04:02.439 actually drawing the voltages indicated on the box the 11 watt differ was 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:07.360 definitely more than we were expecting all in all the differences between our 00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:09.239 different RAM setups for desktop weren't 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:14.079 insignificant so is there really something to Apple's claim time to dig 00:04:11.959 --> 00:04:19.680 deeper so we switched over to an Acer Predator 15 laptop as it uses the same 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:25.040 Sky likee Architecture CPU type and ddr4 RAM as our desktop test bench and then 00:04:22.479 --> 00:04:29.960 we paired it with crucial and apacer so dims that is laptop memory obviously we 00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:35.080 would have liked to have test tested this on one of the new Macbook Pros 00:04:32.840 --> 00:04:40.479 themselves but thanks to its completely non-s swappable RAM this wasn't really 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:46.600 an option after testing one and two sticks of both 8 and 16 GB modules the 00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:51.440 difference in battery drain was almost negligible the difference between one 00:04:48.840 --> 00:04:59.280 stick of 8 gigs and two of 16 remember that's a total of 32 GB was only 105 M 00:04:56.479 --> 00:05:04.759 hours in each scenario the memory stress test drained about 4% of the Predator's 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:10.800 battery so there was no massive spike in discharge rate when we upped our system 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:13.520 to 32 gigs now admittedly this isn't an 00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:19.680 Apples to Apples comparison as all the laptops laying around were ddr4 gaming 00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:22.440 Windows-based models but thanks to JX 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:27.800 standards one ddr4 low power chip is less different from another than you 00:05:24.840 --> 00:05:33.919 might think which leaves us to wonder if raw power consumption of more chips 00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:40.520 wasn't the issue what exactly did apple mean when they said more than 16 GB of 00:05:37.400 --> 00:05:43.080 memory wouldn't be efficient enough for 00:05:40.520 --> 00:05:48.039 a notebook Linus's theor is that using up more PCB space for memory chips could 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:52.440 have eaten into the internal space that Apple preferred to use for a bigger 00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:57.919 battery johon thinks that's bull and speculates that it's a planned 00:05:54.039 --> 00:06:00.479 obsolescence move as for me I'm not sure 00:05:57.919 --> 00:06:04.919 what I do know is that the truth is out there and you should leave a

subscribed hit the like 00:07:05.520 --> 00:07:13.160 button or check out where to buy the stuff that we featured in this video on 00:07:10.039 --> 00:07:15.120 Amazon like laptops that have 32 gigs of 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:18.520 RAM also Link in the description is our merch store so you can buy cool stuff 00:07:16.919 --> 00:07:21.720 although I think this sweater is like sold out and not in our merch store and 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:25.000 stuff but you know there might be another drop of those someday someone's 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:28.319 going to kill me cuz that's not actually going to happen but anyways don't worry 00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:31.520 about it also check out the community Forum which is linked down below and now 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:37.720 that you're done doing all that you're probably wondering what to watch next so check out this video which is teran's 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:43.280 EV3 review that part's 00:07:40.280 --> 00:07:43.280 important
