apple remembered yesterday that their computers are occasionally used by real
0:16
professionals and refreshed their macbook pro lineup with 8th gen
0:20
processors including up to a 6 core core
0:24
i9 or core i7 CPU you can also now add a
0:28
4 terabyte SSD up to 32 gigs of ddr4 RAM oh it turns
0:34
out that is possible if you put a little bit bigger battery in it and a Radeon
0:40
560x if you want to max out your build
0:43
at 6 700 us dollars that is
0:47
fancy the new models have a third generation butterfly keyboard that is
0:51
quieter but it still doesn't fix its affinity for getting dust and crap stuck
0:55
under the keys if you crap on your keyboard although in fairness to apple
1:00
any keyboard would probably break if you crapped on it apple also worked with
1:04
blackmagic to design an even fancier external GPU enclosure with an
1:09
included Radeon 580 for 700
1:13
apple's refresh could have been inspired by the fact that pc shipments actually
1:17
increased this year according to market analyst firms gartner and idc with

workstations and replacing the e3 v6
1:45
processors the 10 new coffee lake based chips from the 4 core 4 thread e2124
1:51
to the 6 core 12 thread e2180g
1:55
apparently sport a 1.36 time performance
1:58
improvement over their predecessors the reception right now seems to be one of
2:02
mild confusion and annoyance as the new chips aren't that much of an upgrade
2:07
they muddy the waters with a new naming scheme and
2:11
they're coming literally months after the desktop versions that
2:16
are basically the same thing not to mention that AMD has some pretty
2:19
compelling alternatives but hey new processors lots of cool numbers and
2:23
tables to look at that's exciting
2:27
and magic leap has announced their troubled augmented reality developer
2:31
headset will begin shipping by september they also showed off the hardware itself
2:36
along with some videos of the headset supposedly in action a demo showing a 3d
2:41
character throwing objects at the user was pretty disappointing given the
2:45
levels of hype that the magic leap 1 has garnered with both consumers and the
2:50
investors who have put a lot of money into this company also the headset does
2:55
