yo guys johnathan here and i am back from the box and the brand new just released 2016 13 inch MacBook Pro this time around the box is slightly different with a pretty slick side profile shot of the macbook pro showcasing how thin it is before we continue though first we got to get through that plastic and once we're inside included with the MacBook Pro is at USB c2 USBC cable the power brick which connects via USB see and that's important because that is how you will now charge the MacBook Pro and last but not least the Apple literature and what would a macbook pro unboxing be without those Apple stickers now taking a closer look for a second can we all agree that space grey is insanely attractive and drop a like if you agree the downside though with new color comes the death of the glowing Apple logo but taking a quick look and comparison against last year's MacBook Pro not only is this thinner and lighter if we stack it on top you can see the smaller in every possible way the other giant difference between this year and last year's model is the trackpad which is humongous personally I love the bigger trackpad and because it's based off force touch and not a mechanical trackpad no matter where you click or touch it's always going to be eco which is super enjoyable and beyond that the other big improvement with these macbook pro is the keyboard so this keyboard is utilizing these second-generation butterfly mechanism which i actually like way better than the first generally 12-inch MacBook and even more so than any previous MacBook Pro I've used now yes I agree having two 13-inch MacBook Pros is super confusing in my opinion they should have just called this the 13-inch MacBook and have it live alongside the 12-inch model but again that is beyond my control so with this model instead of the Ola touch bar you're getting the old school classic mechanical function keys now the 13 and 15 inch MacBook Pros with the touch bar coming out very soon so if you help me I definitely make sure you subscribe so you don't miss those the other difference between this 13-inch MacBook Pro and the next here up are the Thunderbolt 3 ports with this baseline model on one side you are getting 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports which are a USBC type form factor and on the flip side surprise surprise unlike the iPhone 7 you are getting a headphone jack now with this new design there is both good and bad the good news is with these under both reports they can do pretty much anything you can transfer information you can charge you can output video to an external display you are getting crazy bandwidth with tential for insane speeds in my case where I already use a USBC SSD connecting to the MacBook Pro and using Final Cut to edit was super simple but on the downside the biggest complaint I've seen is you can't connect your iPhone to your MacBook Pro that a dongle or a USB Sita lightning cable to me honestly that is not the biggest deal in the world because I can't remember the last time I connected my iPhone physically with a cable to my macbook but where I do feel Apple jumped the gun just a little too early was removing the SD card slot because that is something I use all the time granted you could totally do that through a doc or through a hub but there are way too many devices out there currently that use SD card to the medium which makes things super inconvenient now the flipside jumping back to some positive and things that stood out to me first the display is phenomenal Apple claiming the screen is brighter and more colorful is a hundred percent accurate I'm pretty sure through video doesn't translate or portray how big of a difference there is between the two but in person it is huge that reason alone for me is a solid reason to upgrade it totally may not be enough of a reason for you to upgrade but if you edit video photos or anything in that field it is awesome now beyond that the other thing that really surprised me with this new MacBook Pro was performance on paper if we compared it to last year's 2015 MacBook Pro you would assume that it's slower the 2016 MacBook Pro is rocking a 2 gigahertz Core i5 processor whereas the 2015 MacBook Pro is clocked at 2.7 gigahertz you're getting relatively the same memory the same integrated graphics but surprisingly the new MacBook Pro is slightly faster where I saw the biggest difference between the two is how fast the flash stored in the 2016 MacBook Pro is that clocked in at over 1,300 megabytes per second on the right side of things I think it broke and kind of tapped out disk speed test at 2000 megabytes which is insane and conversely the 2015 MacBook Pro on the right side of things that was just over six hundred and forty megabytes per second whereas the read speeds were just over 1300 now I will note one giant asterisk on this test was the actual storage capacity on these models the new 2016 MacBook Pro comes standard with 256 gigabytes of flash storage whereas the old 2015 model was only 128 in contrast upgrading last year's model to the same amount of storage would bring it to the exact same price so just a little food for thought in terms of whether or not that adds value to the new MacBook Pro but all-in-all I am pretty impressed with this MacBook Pro and super stoked check out the models with the touch bar if you haven't seen it yet there's a chance to win not one but two of these brand-new 13-inch MacBook Pros that is linked here and also down below thank you guys very much for watching this Jonathan and I will catch you guys later
