what's up everyone John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo here is an unboxing for you that I'm really excited about this is the just updated 13-inch MacBook Pros this is the models that were just given the newest Intel Core i5 and core i7 chips as well as Intel's light peak technology which Apple has dubbed Thunderbolt we'll talk a bit more about that as we go along so without further ado let's go ahead and open up so the box is very familiar to previous generations MacBook Pros in fact it looks almost identical to previous generation MacBook Pros say for some port differences so we've got a picture of the device right on the front and again this is the 13.3 inch model got some Apple logos on the side got some differences right here letting you know that it's a core i5 chip which is actually now the entry-level this is the entry-level computer which is going to constitute just shy of $1200 the thunderbolt high-speed IO and that stands for input/output and again there is a picture of the device we've got some specs on top let me just run you through very quickly here this is a 2.3 dual core Intel Core i5 model you can also get the core i7 with three megabytes of shared level two cache got four gigabytes of ddr3 RAM this particular one has a 320 gigabyte hard drive that spins at 5400 rpm so it's not solid-state again 3.3 inch diagonal display all the sizes are always measured diagonal with the resolution of 1280 by 800 Apple has now ditched Nvidia and gone back to Intel this has the integrated 3000 processor with 384 megabytes of ddr3 sdram shared with main memory and you now have a built-in FaceTime HD camera certainly if there's a FaceTime camera built-in but now it's all HD and Nancy is going to give you about three times the resolution so enough of me yammering about it let's go ahead and use the unnecessary and obligatory big ol knife to cut the tape and we'll have this kicking around for a few weeks here so I'm really excited to put it through its paces and see if it lives up to the hype alright go ahead and push that on the side open it up and we've got the very familiar Apple packaging a little bit of cushion on top here is the macbook pro then pull that off feels almost identical to the previous generation models push it off to the side for just a minute and we'll keep digging in and see what we're gonna have in the box got your MagSafe power adapter got an extension cord right here for it this part actually pops right off and you can slide this in and you can extend it just a little bit interestingly enough though the extension part of the MagSafe adapter there's only one it's got the third grounding prong right there the standard one you just plug into the wall does not be something to keep in mind we've got all of your backup and restore this the everything Mac and everything else stuff in here as well as a clean cloth I assume it's all probably pretty standard fare everything Mac everything else and a Quintin cloth I don't however see any Apple stickers in here which is unfortunate nope no stickers all right so enough of that let's go ahead and push the box off to the side and let's take a look at the computer because there are a lot of subtle differences here I with this guy it's go ahead and pull off the classic this is always kind of fun break that seal there we go and here is the 13.3 MacBook Pro let's go ahead and first run through the ports this is where a lot of the differences are all right so of course we're going to have the MagSafe port we're gonna have a Gigabit Ethernet port just your standard pretty much Ethernet now followed by that you're going to have a firewire 800 which used to be Lisa Quan Apple products the highest speed input/output that they had which is capable of 800 megabits per second and remember that it's called firewire 800 800 megabits per second so keep that in mind looking over next to it now that's the new port in sealable symbol there that is Thunderbolt and thunderbolt is essentially Intel's implementation of like peak technology and that's going to give you transfer rates of up to 10 gigabytes per second so that is incredibly fast thing we're gonna have to worry about right now though our devices that are going to support it which is kind of the problem it's a device does a lot of stuff but if there's nothing that supports it's going to be a problem so the thunderbolt port also does a few other things in addition to the high speed input/output it's also going to function as your native mini displayport you can also use it for DVI output using mini DisplayPort to DVI VGA out dual link DVI and actually I'm HDMI audio and video output using a third-party mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter so you do sort of have HDMI though Apple didn't actually put it in two USB 2.0 port and speaking of those speeds it's going to give me 480 megabits per second when you do your transfer rates you've got an SD card slot headphone in your battery indicator little Deeley on the other side you've got your super drive which is for making DVDs and all that business on the back the battery is now completely sealed in and it's going to give you about 64 watt hours which is going to translate to about seven hours of battery life allegedly which is kind of nice open it up it's gonna look exactly like every other Mac laptop you've probably seen at all the coffee shops macbook pro it's got the full glass enclosure there it's got the black mat and the FaceTime camera which looks exactly the same you can see me there as FaceTime HD so let's talk a bit more about what we've got going on here the resolution of this 13.3 inch model we're going to be 1280 by 800 that's the native resolution it could support a little bit lower as we go you can spec this eight to have all kinds of cool stuff you can give it as an SSD if you want again this is the entry model which comes with 320 gigabyte hard drive you've got the solid glass trackpad here no more buttons to just push down we've seen this on previous generation Mac laptops let's go ahead and close this thing up this has been an unboxing of the new 13.3 inch MacBook Pros I'm real excited to give this guy a thorough test see how it handles video see how it handles audio let's see on handles video editing and the rest of things that's weeks like to see so I think in particular you guys want to see covered on this new MacBook Pro let me know again we'll have it for a few weeks and of course would give you a full review I'm John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo and I'll see you in the next video bye bye
