2012-06-11
hey guys this is Austin and today mute the video recapping WWDC 2012 Apple announced quite a few things to the event however what we're going to talk about today are the new MacBooks to start with let's talk about the next generation MacBook Pro now they're actually keeping the current generation around and I'll explain that in just a minute but first starters let's go over the brand new flagship of line so the new MacBook Pro has a lot of new features but probably the most important is the new Retina display so it's a 15 point 4 inch panel with a resolution of 28 80 by 1800 if you guys keeping track that is a lot of pixels that's more than the iPad 3 that's more than any kind of high definition TV it's even more than the 27-inch iMac the new MacBook Pro is also quite a bit thinner so it's not quite as thin as the MacBook Air however it's pretty close at only 0.7 inches all the way across on top of that they've also removed a few things and added some ports so they had to remove the optical drive I don't think anyone is all that surprised about that and they've also removed firewire as well as Ethernet in exchange they've added a pair of Thunderbolt ports USB 3.0 as well as HDMI out these new MacBook Pros are also fast so you can pick it up with either an Intel Core i5 or Core i7 CPU both of them are going to be quad core and there are also the latest Ivy Bridge models on top that you can pick it up with either 8 or 16 gigabytes of RAM an SSD between 256 gigabytes 512 gigabytes for 768 gigabytes again an SSD there's not going to be any kind of normal hard drive option and as far as graphics go it's going to be powered by the nvidia geforce GT 650 M the new MacBook Pros are going to be shipping today and it's going to start at a list price of $2,200 definitely not cheap however for that money you wanted to get the quad core Core i5 I'm gonna get a gigabytes of RAM and a 256 gigabyte SSD like I said earlier these are not the only new MacBook Pros so the current generation with the same design is still going to be staying around so it's going to be starting with the 13-inch it's gonna still be $1200 however it will now have the new core i5 with the intel HD 4000 graphics the 15-inch model of the macbook pro is also going to be staying around and just like the 13-inch it's going to gain a few new features so it will have a Core i5 or Core i7 and have USB 3 don't stay the same prices the MacBook Airs also saw an update so the design is just the same and you're still going to be able to pick it up as an 11 or a 13 model however the prices and some of the specs have changed the 11 inch air still starts at $1,000 and for that price you're going to get a core i5 four gigabytes of RAM which is that from two gigabytes previously and a 64 gigabyte SSD at $1,100 you'll be able to get that exact same set up but with 128 gigs of SSD storage moving on to the 13-inch air for $1,200 you'll be able to pick up the base model which comes with four gigabytes of storage a slightly upgraded core i5 as well as 128 gigabytes of storage now for another $300 on top of that you can bring that 120 gigabytes up to 256 alright so let's go over all these new models so for starters the next generation MacBook Pro is going to be starting at $2,200 it's going to come in a 15.4 inch variety now of course that 15 inch display is going to be retina which should be really nice it also comes standard with a quad-core processor 8 gigabytes of RAM and a 256 kilobyte SSD we also have brand-new 13 and 15 inch MacBook Pros now these are going to come with Core i5 or optionally a core i7 and they will also come with normal standard spinning hard drives we also have the new MacBook Airs which come in a 13 inch and an 11 inch model so the 13-inch starts at $1,200 and comes the Core i5 4 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabyte SSD the 11 inch will also come with 4 gigabytes of RAM a slightly low respect Core i5 as well as 64 gigabytes of SSD storage and space configuration for $1000 now all these computers are shipping as of today and they will all get a free update to mountain lion next month so you guys have it before recap on all the new MacBook Pros and MacBook Airs I'm very curious to know what do you guys think personally I'm going to be ordering a new 11 inch MacBook Airs smooth I'm done editing this video but of course I'm very curious to know what you guys are thinking anyway if you enjoyed this video definitely be sure to leave it a thumbs up and if you're interested in more coverage of the MacBook area definitely be sure to subscribe
