hey guys Zhou state and today we are building the ultimate 13-inch MacBook Pro and huge shout out to LastPass for sponsoring this video so you might be wondering why we're using the 30 inch macbook as opposed to a 15 inch and we're trying to build the ultimate laptop but a lot of it actually comes down to this so this is a line dock and inside what we're finding here is not only an additional battery but additional storage additional ports that's all meant for the 13-inch so this guy started out as an IndieGoGo and it's just starting to ship but inside what we're going to find is something that actually looks a lot like a MacBook so the idea here is to give you a bunch of the functionality that you would normally expect on for example older Mac books with you know more than 4 ports so there's going to be a ton of ports that are going to be added including USB see we've got 2 SP 3.0 on this side SD card reader as well as on the other side we've got HDMI mini DisplayPort 1/3 USB 3 as well as one more USB type-c so it's basically the same size the MacBook so if I sort of stack it on top I've got here's a little bit of a sandwich actually how does this connect oh wait Oh first thing I thought they forgot to put anything else in the box I think they're taking a subtle hint at the lack of dongles needed with this particular product there's also an available USB see magnetic module so if we open this guy up we're going to find is well what looks like a little USB adapter but the whole thing is going to be magnetic now supposedly this is going to support full USB see capability so stuff like data transfer video and everything like that but I've had some questionable luck with these in the past so maybe I'll try one of the ports on the side oh ok maybe the back port just doesn't work so immediately get charging and we also have a 256 gig SSD ok so there are different versions of the line dock available say for example if you don't want so much storage but the idea here is that if you've got this sort of giant jock thing that goes with the MacBook you're going to be getting battery extra ports SSD the whole sort of package well this looks a little bit goofy right now inside what we're getting is not only that SSD which is optional you can go all the way up to a one terabyte SSD or not even opt for one in the first place but on top of that all of these line docks have 25,000 milliamp hour batteries inside so it's going to be able to charge at a full 100 Watts more than for any MacBook and in theory could given you basically double the battery life now the line doc is going to essentially double the thickness of our MacBook and as we all know thicker is better when it comes to building the ultimate stupid I mean ultimate MacBook not stupid I meant ultimate so that's where some protection for a MacBook comes in one of the only real issues I've noticed with the line dog is that since it's not actually connected to the MacBook besides with a cable it actually doesn't really matter what you actually do to it just as long as you have it connected via USB C so that's where this comes in a very important keyboard protector that also very helpfully reminds you of all the wonderful keyboard shortcuts that I totally don't know at all but of course protection is incredibly important you never know when a sudden gust of wind could blow your mac book out of window and you need to make sure it survives well that's where this comes in this giant case that supposedly helps so really how it's supposed to go on it just looks so weird oh I need to click it until it did that noise now it looks much better okay that looks a little more like it if I pull it up hey there we go we've got some real protection for our ultimate macbook excellence now all you need is some protection for your digital life thanks to the LastPass no I didn't just include a case so I could get a great segue over its to protecting your digital life with LastPass what I love about LastPass is that it's something I've been paying for myself way before they ever decide to sponsor the channel and that's for good reason it is absolutely the best way I've ever found to keep your passwords safe now as we all know or at least as we all should know is a terrible idea to use the same password across several sites if any of them get hacked or compromised you're going to deal with the very real potential of someone being able to hack into other sites based on just using the same password that you used over and over and over again LastPass take security seriously not only do they do all the encryption of your passwords on your device so you don't have to worry about things being unprotected sitting on their server somewhere but on top of that if you lose your password that's it LastPass has no ability to be able to unlock your vault or to do anything to sort of open up your passwords and that might sound like a bad thing but in reality that means that not even LastPass can get access to your data and I think that is a very very good thing if you're not using a password manager to not only generate unique passwords for every single site you visit but also to keep them all safe and secure behind a solid vault then the LastPass is absolutely what you need and of course if you guys want to check it out and help support the channel the link will be in the description there's free and paid versions but regardless protect yourself online and download LastPass now of course when it comes to building the ultimate MacBook a single display is not going to be enough so that's where the LG 5k ultra-fine comes in so they single Thunderbolt 3 cable we're going to be able to not only get that full 5k video signal but we're also going to be getting three USB C ports on the monitor and we're going to be getting an 87 watt charge from the monitor into the macbook which is helpful especially when we have the light dock which you can also charge the macbook so we should be good on power now this is starting to look a little bit ridiculous however is by no means ultimate just yet which is where this comes in a laptop vertical dock for two laptops so with this we can drop the macbook in as well as the line dock at the same time the next step we have a keyboard so this is going to be the Das Keyboard ultimate which not only is going to be able to take advantage of some of the USB ports on the line dock but it's also going to give us a fully mechanical keyboard that is meant to be used on Mac we also have the Logitech MX master 2's so this guy's going to be using bluetooth and now we're getting a little bit closer however even this is still not going to be anywhere near enough ports for the ultimate MacBook which is where the Cal digit ts3 plus comes in this is going to be a fundable 3 dock which is going to be giving us extra functionality and well to be totally honest even more ports that we're probably not going to actually use all right that's actually not going to be too crazy so what we're getting with this is none like a bunch more USB ports we're also going to be getting a second Thunderbolt 3 port so we can daisy chain with the monitor but we're also going to be getting some other stuff that even the line dock doesn't include such as Ethernet another SD card reader if we want to do two at the same look I just wanted to stock my figure to be cool don't judge me I just thought it'd be really ridiculous so we need to plug in the Thunderbolt 3 cable from the computer it's going to go into the dock and then we're going to plug the Thunderbolt 3 cable from the monitor also into the dock and then actually we can do is we can plug the line dock into the USB type-c cable on the dock oh hey wait okay hang on okay that looks good so if I close the MacBook up we should have everything on one display there we go and then and set it right here I have my mouse of my keyboard so you guys might have caught a little video I did recently trying to game on a Mac and in doing so I bought this external GPU from gigabyte which is actually going to be really tiny and yet does connect over Thunderbolt 3 so I get a couple more cables going here so with our final Thunderbolt 3 cable which will be plugged directly into the MacBook we're going to have a full Radeon rx 580 now when you've clicked on this video I promised you the altar MacBook what I've actually delivered is a really really bad idea and so it is time to fully test the ultimate 13-inch MacBook Pro now they get the ultimate performance because of course this is the ultimate setup we also have a secondary display this time eight 1080p 144 Hertz panel which is going to be plugged directly into the GPU because you know of course the last thing we want is some kind of performance bottleneck and it all technically works nothing is crashed nothing has stopped working yet so for tonight decided not to work on us and instead of reinstalling the entire game trying again next we have rocket League which I will have you know it works completely perfectly on the ultimate MacBook with no issues at all basically I know we're playing 1080p high and which shouldn't be a really big surprise with that Rx 580 we have plenty of horsepower even considering that we are running a dual-core CPU and at the same time even though it doesn't really matter we also have a 5k monitor and like actually how many ports do we have nine ten eleven twelve USB ports three four five six seven USB C ports one additional Thunderbolt port plus two more that are free on the MacBook to HDMI ports we have a display port we have a mini display port and then we also have three more display ports on our GPU ethernet optical audio headphone jack and we have a twenty five thousand milliamp hour battery and a 2 or 56 gig SSD and a full rx 580 external GPU oh and I forgot to mention there are also three extra USB C ports on the back of the Thunderbolt displaying for a great total of 10 so hopefully you guys found build in the Olson MacBook Pro to be very informative very useful when you're with your own macbook building projects what is it just me who does this
