WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.920 The MacBook is dead. 00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:18.080 In my last video I talked about all the problems that it had, but Apple just announced a brand 00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:23.120 new MacBook Pro that aims to fix everything that was missing and then some. 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:29.280 So here's why I'm excited to get my grubby hands on one. 00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:34.200 There are a lot of headlines with the new MacBook Pros, there's MagSafe, more ports, 00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:39.280 on top of the two brand new M1 chips, now called M1 Pro and M1 Max. 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:44.880 I'll dig it to them in a bit, but let's first take a visual look at what's changed. 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:49.880 Still available in silver and space gray, the new MacBook Pro's design is a bit of a departure 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:58.560 in that it's very asymmetrical. The design of the bottom reminds me of the corners of the OJ Intel MacBook from 2006. 00:00:58.680 --> 00:01:03.880 The top screen is flat edged like the new iPad or the old titanium power book that started 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.040 Apple's Pro Laptop Revolution 20 years ago. 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:11.760 Actually, even the black keyboard calls out to that old laptop too. 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.760 And as I predicted, the touch bar is gone. 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:20.880 RIP in its place is a function row with full height keys to make it easier to change the 00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:26.560 volume. The ports are a big deal with the new MacBook, bringing back things that really shouldn't 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:34.280 have been removed in the first place. HDMI, an SD card slot, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, and most remarkably, MagSafe. 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:39.640 Yes, it has returned, and no, the MacBook is not compatible with your old charger. 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:45.840 But this time around, MagSafe is now a detachable cable that on the charger end plugs into USB-C. 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:51.280 So you still have the flexibility if it frays, or the only cable you have around is a USB-C 00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.840 cable. Really, the best of all worlds, finally. 00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:02.240 The displays have grown and are massively improved now. The smaller laptop stretches to 14 inches across, while the larger model is still 16 00:02:02.240 --> 00:02:08.840 inches. It only looks bigger. Most notable is the addition of Adaptive Pro Motion, which increases the top refresh 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.920 rate to 120Hz. But when there's not a lot of action on the screen, it drops the refresh rate to save 00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:18.000 battery. And when you're watching a movie, it matches the frame rate of the content. 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:24.320 The panels are Liquid Retina XDR, with a 1600 nits peak brightness and mini LED contrast 00:02:24.320 --> 00:02:30.440 ratio. This solution is now up to 254 pixels per inch for both. 00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:36.320 With... what aspect ratio? I think the cinema's aspect ratio rating is going to make a comeback. 00:02:36.320 --> 00:02:42.160 So that would be 1.55 to 1 versus 1.6 to 1 in the outgoing MacBook. 00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:45.520 But wait, is there a notch? 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:52.240 There's a notch on the MacBook Pro screen now. I'm not one of those people who hates the notch on the iPhone, but this notch, which 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:58.000 contains the much-improved 1080p webcam, but no face ID, blocks the middle of the task 00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:03.720 bar. And what's going to happen in full screen mode? Are they going to have to redesign Safari and other apps? 00:03:03.720 --> 00:03:09.960 I'm not too sure. But I'll investigate in my review, subscribe to find out. 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:13.720 It's super interesting that there are two brand new chip options, one of which I wasn't 00:03:13.720 --> 00:03:17.440 even expecting. Okay, the performance. The chips. 00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:23.120 Apple announced two new chips in the MacBook Pro, dubbed M1 Pro and M1 Max. 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.680 They are the next layers in Apple's ARM transition. 00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:30.880 For Apple, the name of the game here is both increased performance and efficiency, and 00:03:30.880 --> 00:03:38.000 they raced through this announcement I could barely keep up. The CPU isn't the big story here, though it gets an increase to 10 cores. 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:42.840 Where Apple has put its focus on is GPU, memory, and machine learning. 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:47.280 And that's really where the differences between the M1 Pro and Max lie. 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:53.080 The M1 Pro is available with 14 or 16 GPU cores, and for video editors like me, has 00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:58.400 a hardware accelerated media engine for encoding and decoding the most popular formats, along 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:06.640 with ProRes. Now, looking at Apple's chip product shots, here it appears that the Max features a duplicated 00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:11.480 GPU, so up to 32 cores, with additional engines for faster video encoding and decoding. 00:04:11.480 --> 00:04:14.600 This is going to be great for video editors. 00:04:14.600 --> 00:04:20.440 This additional module in the M1 Max increases the unified memory to up to 64 gigabytes, and 00:04:20.440 --> 00:04:25.680 memory bandwidth to 400 gigabytes per second, up from the 200 in the Pro. 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:30.320 Another big boon for professionals is that the Max will support up to 4 external displays, 00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:36.920 with the Pro only supporting 2. Apple made a bunch of charts to show the differences between other laptops in the class, and while 00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:42.560 I don't know how they quantify performance, these charts were really about efficiency. 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:46.360 And these MacBooks have some crazy sounding battery life. 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:52.600 Apple claims the 14 inch should get around 17 hours of battery life, while the 16 inch 00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:59.560 will get up to 21 hours. Me wonders how much the more powerful CPUs will affect battery life. 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:05.200 Regardless, you'll be able to fast charge to 50% in half an hour. 00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:09.920 Another interesting thing about the different chips is both are available on the small and 00:05:09.960 --> 00:05:14.120 large MacBook Pros. And there are a lot of SKUs to choose from. 00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:17.400 So will the performance be a bit different because there's more space to dissipate heat 00:05:17.400 --> 00:05:24.200 on the 16 inch model? Another thing to investigate. 00:05:24.200 --> 00:05:30.320 Pricing wise, a base 14 inch now starts at $2,000, and a base 16 inch will set you back 00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:35.960 $2,500. This is $200 and $100 more than the outgoing models respectively. 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.640 Oh, and if you do want an M1 Max, you will have to upgrade the memory too, so that can 00:05:40.640 --> 00:05:46.880 be a $900 upgrade. Keeping a reasonable amount of storage and maxing out everything else on the 16 inch 00:05:46.880 --> 00:05:49.880 will set you back $3,900. 00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:57.000 Yikes. As for me, I really like the idea of a maxed out 14 inch that I could just dock to the 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:02.640 desk and use for everything. It could be one computer to rule them all. 00:06:02.640 --> 00:06:08.880 It wasn't just MacBooks that got announced. There are three new colors of the HomePod Mini, which should match your yellow, orange, or 00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:12.960 blue iMac nicely. There are also new AirPods. 00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:17.640 These third generation AirPods appear to be like AirPods Pro, but without the silicon 00:06:17.640 --> 00:06:21.200 tips. The new design is supposed to hold into your ear better. 00:06:21.200 --> 00:06:27.400 The charging case supports MacSafe, that's kind of cool. It's got an IPX4 rating for sweat and water resistance. 00:06:27.400 --> 00:06:32.360 It has force touch and better battery life. It has spatial audio and an adaptive EQ. 00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:37.240 Actually, looking at the comparison chart, these really do appear to be AirPods Pro without 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:42.480 some features. My concern is still that the mesh is too close to the tips. 00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.600 It looks just ready to eat earwax. 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:50.640 There are $180 while the old second gen model remains on sale for $130 now. 00:06:50.640 --> 00:06:53.640 Alright, thanks for sticking through this Mac Address. 00:06:53.640 --> 00:06:56.720 If you like the new MacBook Pro, give this video a like. 00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:04.120 If you're mad about the notch, then why not subscribe. I was kind of surprised by the amount of skews available in this MacBook, so I'm curious 00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.840 if you were to get one, what model you'd order.
