guys we're here in Brooklyn I am so excited by home borough for an actual Apple event I never thought this would happen we didn't have to go to Cupertino we'd have to get on planes hold up yeah well we saw some interesting stuff I think that there if you were looking for the answer as to whether the iPad and Mac would ever do more things like each other that was not answered there there's an iPad there are two Macs they continue to do parallel things and they're three interesting products yeah I mean but they've said they've said that for a while that they really see them as separate products you know I think for some people the iPad could be your computer for some people definitely not the TV ad where the little girls playing with her oh yeah what's a computer so clearly they're they're targeting it with a keyboard and everything as a laptop replacement yeah there's what's a computer and then there's a computer there's also a computer and they're all kind of in a similar price range the iPad pro I think doubles down on what it already did well so it's like if you liked what it was proposing before you're really gonna like where it's going next which is the the smaller bezels the the bigger screen lighter faster processor face ID so it's kind of like an iPad 10 or iPad X the keyboard doesn't have a trackpad so I merely a laptop but it's more it's all screen it's going all in on the screen concept yeah so no buttons nothing else just pure screen and your fingers or your pencil I do say adding the thing where you take the pen so attach it to the top and it recharges through that well I mean if you saw over feeling good yeah the way the Apple pencil charged before you know it didn't make a lot it was weird it was a hazard but the but they weight attaches now is much more like the surface it's much more like and even people pointing out that with a DoubleTap to add that extra feature it's kind of like air pods in a way you have this DoubleTap to assign one function you could put another in different apps but it's almost like a bit like the S Pen so that evolves but you don't get anything that pushes beyond that is my only thing so I think it's a really nice screen but starting at $7.99 and up this is not a low cost of that's 100 March I chose for the pencil and we won 160 170 for the keyboard in that range for the keyboard so you're spending up to 50 to send almost 300 more 78 9 hundredths or 1099 well over a thousand which is 1199 which gave me a little bit of a heart attack because the MacBook Air was famously $9.99 that was the Mac laptop you could actually afford those days are over $9.99 they're still keeping the old air valve oh and don't get bad we're not quite sure for how long it's the kind of thing that seems like they're not making any like new ones they may they'll use the stock they have but it's certainly much more out of date computer today than it was yesterday and it's pretty out of date yesterday yeah this is how you were looking forward to for a while that Retina display but the funny thing is it already existed so there are display MacBooks oh this is another iteration on that philosophy so but it seems like the best one it's what I want to dip down 13 inch MacBook Pro yeah well didn't when they redesigned the Mac books you know a couple years ago they positioned as that that lower 13-inch is kind of the macbook air release right but it was yeah and it never really became that and I think a lot of people for this we're wondering if the air name just goes away and I thought it would keep it yeah but no the air name is still there even though it basically is a MacBook Pro in all but that name it gets rid of the touch bar but it keeps the best part about the touch bar which everyone loves to hate on best part is the fingerprint reader works great and frankly logging in with your fingers a lot easier than typing your password in all the time so I think you know they get rid of the fingerprint reader in the iPads and on the phone they have a fingerprint reader than the ones they are oh and don't forget about all the different your headphones won't work on all of your Apple products on the Mac right lightning on the iPhone USB c-lister see the iPad and I don't think that there are USB see are there usb-c so was it though our UCC headphones but Apple doesn't make them as far as I know at this point but yeah so there's a move to us PC which is great in the sense that you can now charge device so yeah charge an iPhone charger guitar yeah ever that hand up you've got that it can work with accessories it can work with 5k displays does not work it's storage but you could work apparently you can use it for certain apps as it targeted accessory but yeah what do you do with your headphones because I'm already carrying three my theory for Android suffers from OS fragmentation Apple suffers from headphone fragmentation well and also I still think face idea would be a really nice thing to add to a Mac because it's facing you it seems perfect you've to wait for it got the camera in there yeah got the t2 Jeff that's the next thing so next year's max I don't know yeah maybe what about the Mac Mini it's expensive I use facial recognition on on Windows laptops all the time works pretty good actually yeah so you could do that and then the Mac Mini was there any awesome it's great it's search the 790 no that's what you want then that's what you're gonna get you know what I mean there's like they did except they didn't mess anything up they didn't redo it in some crazy way the same box yeah because people have like rat gear that's built around that Mac Mini shape and you have rank attachments we can put it in with all your other AV equipment and it's basically it's the podcast computer you get your whole podcasting system set up and you run it all off on that mini I mean that's what we do even and that's an old Mac Mini so I think that you know they should have called it a Mac Mini Pro cuz that's basically what it is it's totally pro or semi-pro that seems like the whole proposition and I I think if you've already got all the other equipment like the monitor that's the easy setup forces having to buy the iMac which it's got on the back yes it's got USB seaports but you know it's got its got two regular old-fashioned USB ports becoming very rare it's got an HDMI out and it's got an Ethernet jack that's something you know really on any other max except for like an I'm act and in some some bits on the old MacBook here I guess we'll call it the MacBook Air classic or something we'll have to come up with a new name for that and speaking of legacy products going back to the iPad they are keeping a lot of older models around the ten point five inch iPad pro much like the $9.99 Mac oh and they're ready yeah and the mini is sticking around the mini 4 so there are a lot of different price tiers if you made me want to only spend 650 to start there's that iPad pro and you know which one do you pick I think obviously the new iPad pros are the best that are out there oh yeah they're gonna get really expensive they are but they are so functionally and physically different than the previous ones at least you can say I'm getting something that looks new and has new features and does different things whereas in the case of the Mac Mini it looks the same so it's a little bit of a tougher sell unless you really know what you're looking for spec wise and and even in the new MacBook Air it's not really a different design than the MacBook Pros or the 12-inch MacBook it's just becomes part of that family so there's nothing really groundbreaking about it even adding the fingerprint reader is something they took off another device and put on there that said it answers most of what people said they wanted from a new MacBook Air so so good on that front but that $11.99 hurts it hurts $10.99 I could see obviously 999 be perfect cuz that's the student computer that everyone can save for for a couple months and then afford and use for years it's still the iPad pro is the one that they could say is the most affordable of the computer things and I feel like but that becomes a bit of a you know get your foot in the door and suddenly you're spending up and what does this show that again $7.99 okay like the same is the Mac Mini yeah yeah so it's 75 yeah saved as the Mac Mini but it's 64 gigs so you really want to get more storage on the storage I mean also climbs up to a terabyte which costs that the pricing on same I think look at those configurations my name is getting close to like 3000 when you put in the case and the punch well past $2,000 I would get the Apple care for that something yeah it's a $3,000 iPad pro I would give you yeah that's a little high sport for the Apple app and it's a shame the USBC cannot be used for external storage not that we even thought that it would are you cannot use it for external storage you know that's why I always you know what computer operating systems have their advantage over mobile operating systems and that you get some more flexibility for stuff like that you totally do I mean I think that to me like the most clear go-to product of all of these three would be the air for the for the everyday person the one that you say oh that's the thing I've been waiting people are waiting for the mainstream laptop it's the mainstream tablet laptop it's a little it's a little too expensive it does have one cool it just have one cool feature that hopefully we got to have to play around with which is you can take now you could do this with the pro since like the summer but now for this new air you can take an external GPU box that has usually a Nambe graphics card intim third party companies may come at Apple approves them and you plugged it in via USB C and you get an external you know a graphics card a real super high-powered graphics card so you can do crazy video editing you can do all kinds of rendering and you can frankly play games if you're that one hardcore mat gamer on your new MacBook Air and then just unplug it from the GPU take it go away all right they've given off the they give off the high side and the wind is picking up on this chilly fall day here in the borough of Brooklyn football tailgating weather out here my toes are freezing I'm spontaneously crying from the wind but maybe we'll be back in another one of these in New York at some point I think every year this should be the new this should be the new default location Travel events right here in New York City in Brooklyn thank you Scott side Thank You Shara Tipton and one in New Jersey okay and one in New Jersey okay bye okay bye you guys
