Apple has new 13 and 15 inch MacBook Pros if you get the higher-end 30 inch with the touch bar or the 15 of course those all have touch bars you have a lot of new internal component options even though the outside still looks the same right here I've got one of the highest end of the new MacBooks this is a 15 MacBook Pro inside and there's something pretty new and exciting is one of Intel's new 6th core core i9 processors before now you could only go up through a quad core Core i7 in this system you can also get up to 32 gigs of ram which I have here you can get up to 4 terabytes of solid-state hard drive space I've only got 2 terabytes in here still pretty good I've also got an AMD 560 graphics card in here that all adds up to you know you start with the 15-inch pro you started like $23.99 this guy is about 46 $4,700 with all those high-end add-ons there frankly that sounds 8 hard drive adds a lot to the cost once you get up to the 2 terabyte and greater options even though this looks the same from the outside as last year's model in the year before that's modeled obviously there's a lot of internal changes with the components and a few new features I'm gonna tell you about 3 I think of the most exciting most interesting ones the first one is obviously that Intel Core I 9 processor when I open this guy up getting out of the box the first thing I did was went up to about this Mac I opened it up I said Oh what processors in here there you go 2.9 gigahertz Intel Core i 9 that's something that we've seen PC makers on the window side say is coming soon to their super high-end systems but I have not had an opportunity to test an i-9 laptop before now so I'm very excited to get a look at that I'm also excited that a cool feature from the new iPhones and the iPad pro is coming over to here I'm going to show you that and that is called true tone that is a display technology that uses sensors to detect what sort of light is in the room that you're in literally the the color temperature of the light whether it's a warm light or a cold light and it adjusts the colors on screen to match that right now I have true tone turned on and then if I click this little button here and turn it off you'll see a very subtle difference in in this environment it's hard to tell too much of a difference in the color temperature there and then I can turn it back on so if you go someplace with very cold light it'll look a little bluer and colder if you go someplace with very warm light it'll look a little warmer and that's so the colors that you see let's say if you're a visual artist or you're doing a layout or something in the real world around you the value of Y the value of other colors is accurately reflected on the screens now the last big update to this is something that people have been asking a lot of questions about lately and that is the keyboard the superflat keyboard that you have on the MacBook Pros and also the 12-inch MacBook people are concerned because some people have problems with sticky keys where a little bit of dust or debris gets into these very tight keys and stops the laptop from working there have been some lawsuits about it Apple now has a repair program and they said this is our new third-generation keyboard right here but it doesn't do anything to actually fix that particular problem there's no engineering change for that what it is however is quieter I'm gonna do a little little random typing test right here it has a kind of a rubbery a slightly more rubbery matte feel I have last year's 15-inch MacBook Pro right here I got a text file open on here also do the same typing it's a little sharper I can hear the difference it's not a huge difference but if you're worried that your MacBook keyboard was too loud well it'll be a little bit quieter I guess not not a ton quieter but if they expect people to not worry about this tricky keyboard issue they're gonna have to come up with some sort of engineering fix or tweak design for the keyboard that is not however what we have here as you can see physically the 2017 model and the 2018 model are essentially identical so you're just gonna get a more powerful system that will let you render graphics or import stuff faster and and work in you know super high-res video if that's the kind of thing that you do and those are the kind of people who are looking to spend twenty three hundred dollars to forty five hundred dollars on a new laptop that is Apple's new 2018 version of the MacBook Pro
