today's video is made possible by Squarespace hey guys johnathan it with TLD hope you guys are doing awesome I am back with an unboxing and performance demo of the just released 2013 13 inch MacBook Pro with Retina display I do plan on putting this thing to its paces and more thoroughly testing it out so if you are interested in the review definitely feel free to hit that subscribe button so you do not miss out now I'm sure many of you guys have seen your share of MacBook Pro unboxings but just in case you haven't or you're still interested aside obviously from the MacBook Pro itself which we will set to the side for a second you get it designed by Apple in California box which includes a QuickStart guide which will give you the basic rundown of all the important information you need you then get the MacBook Pro important information guide which includes information on your warranty and things like that following that is the always awesome Apple stickers and I'm actually curious to see who has the most Apple stickers so let me know with a comment down below how many Apple stickers you have and following that you get an apple cleaning cloth to wipe all dem fingerprints off yo shiny new Retina display you then get a Mac safe to power brick too of course juice up the MacBook Pro and you also get an extension cord which surprisingly enough not everybody knows what this is for so what you do is pop this piece off right here attach the extension cord and bam you can charge your macbook pro from across the room now with any MacBook unboxing the first thing I generally like to do is perform a boot up speed test these new MacBook Pros do feature PCI Express flash storage so they should be pretty fast and as you can see we clocked in at just over 14 seconds not bad at all next up is the black magic hello sparkly shiny stuff in OS 10 mavericks had lets me know i installed a new application sparkly distractions aside back to the test you can see we're getting over 300 megabytes per second on the right side of things and over 700 megabytes per second on the read speed side of things so that is very impressive now yesterday I got a few comments on Instagram that some of these tests look wrong they've seen faster results and from what I've gathered if you pick up the 128 gigabyte flash storage model they have slower write speeds whereas the 256 gigabyte and above will feature read and write speeds around 700 megabytes per second each now before anyone worries or panics that's not necessarily a bad thing or a deal breaker on the write speeds most of the things that you use your MacBook Pro for will require read speeds so booting up your computer loading applications and then accessing those files those are all affected by read speeds now write speeds on the other hand affect things like transfer speeds or writing video or photos to disk but chances are if you are doing things like that you're going to want a bigger flash storage SSD anyways so in a nutshell if you do pick up the 128 gigabyte model those speeds are still very impressive so don't feel like you get ripped off you just get even more performance if you jump up to the higher capacity flash storage model now the model I am looking at here is the baseline model which comes configured with a has low base 2.4 gigahertz dual-core i5 CPU 4 gigs of ram 128 gigabytes of PCI Express storage like we just talked about you can actually configure this up to one terabyte but that will punch your wallet in the face you then get Intel iris integrated graphics and Apple is claiming 9 hours of battery life which I will investigate and report back to you guys on the full review so as far as what all those numbers and specs mean in terms of actual performance in my preliminary tests in Geekbench 3 the 64-bit edition we got a multi-core score of 6300 and a single core score of 29 43 now I am trying to get my hands on the previous generation 2012 13 inch retina MacBook Pro for performance comparisons so if you guys are interested in seeing something like that definitely let me know by hitting that like button and I will do my best to make that happen captain now like I talked about this does feature an absolutely beautiful Retina display 2560 by 1600 so at normal distances there are no discernible pixels now believe me checking this out through a youtube video does not do it justice by any means so before anybody knocks it see if you can check it out in person for yourself and you'll see what I mean once you see retina it's kind of hard to go back to anything not on retina it is absolutely gorgeous next up moving on to the ins and the outs on one side of the MacBook Pro we have the MagSafe 2 power input connector 2 Thunderbolt 2 ports a USB 3.0 port a headphone jack which also doubles as an audio out port and next to that those two little dots are actually dual microphones on the flip side that's not a whole lot going on but we get a single SDXC card slot and HDMI out which is very awesome and the second USB 3.0 port these MacBook Pros also do feature 802 11 AC Wi-Fi Bluetooth 4.0 then of course have the backlit keyboard the multi-touch glass trackpad stereo speakers and a 720p FaceTime HD camera so that pretty much wraps up the unboxing thank you guys very much for watching hopefully you enjoyed it if you did and you are feeling like
