yo guys Johnson here the madness does not stop yesterday was iPad pro today we've got the 2018 MacBook Air in the house and all I ask is please for like the first 1 minute and 46 seconds of this video can we not talk about watts I realize that might be hard take a deep breath hold it in look at an RGB light and we will talk about it I promise there's been a little controversy with this MacBook Air that doesn't make sense why does it exist and contrary to what you may have seen on the internet so far I'm gonna go out and say that I think this MacBook Air is going to be a little better than premium economy with that said though this is my first day with the MacBook Air so we're going to open it up oh man plastic is become oh man I screwed it up real bad there's actually a little pull tab so we're gonna pretend that didn't happen that's actually very very similar to that Apple pencil so this also qualifies as classic plastic pop lid off set that aside mmm Space Gray tastier shinier now initial impressions kind of looking at this for the first time in person outside of the event I can definitely see that macbook air thinness profile or the MacBook Pros I kind of just stay one constant thickness the MacBook Air actually tapers off towards the end so it's actually thinner here than it is on the opposite side if you stack it side by side against the MacBook Pro you can definitely see that difference from there moving on to the accessories which I realize are probably more than likely going to trigger some people specifically with this teeny tiny little guy the 30 watt charger in the box and I realized people are going to judge it look at it compare it and say that's your charger mine is at least twice that size congratulations I am proud of you and your giant wall charger that aside though this actually coincides with all the drama and controversy with this MacBook Air and the Y Series chipset inside this I swear to you the day that this was announced people were freaking out going in threads in forums just being the keyboard warriors that they are saying that this is trash how could Apple do this without actually using the product contrary to that initial speculation though it's been confirmed that there's actually a 7y pin site here as opposed to five which still has people kind of upset because they need more power where's my 15 watt process or how could you possibly do this to me that out of the way though we have the USBC cable and finally some apple stickers and I'm peeking through there and something looks a little special and yep we got some Space Gray Apple stickers I am very very excited right now I've seen like the classic Mac Pro black Apple stickers but I've never seen Space Gray Apple stickers so with the iPad pro we got the big-ass Apple stickers and with this we got the beautiful beautiful Space Gray version so that a doubt the biggest upgrade with this MacBook Air it's got to be the display in my initial impressions video I said that the previous MacBook Air display was trash and I realized that might have been a little harsh but the thing is if you use retina before and then went back to that there's absolutely no way you couldn't notice the difference beyond that there are a ton of other improvements better speakers which blow the previous MacBook Air out of the water and I will definitely have a comparison in my for view you have touch ID which is missing on the 13-inch MacBook Pro without touch bar even a trackpad so even though people are kind of dismissing this early in the game as you can see there's quite a bit to look forward to now for those that watch the channel you guys know I like to put things through its paces test them out see how they actually perform in the real world but not gonna lie I'm a little curious to see the initial performance comparison Geekbench of this MacBook arrogancy slightly more expensive 13-inch MacBook Pro without touch bar so grabbing the 13-inch MacBook Pro they're very similar I can definitely actually already feel the weight difference on this 13-inch MacBook Pro over the MacBook Air and again right there I think that's going to be a selling point for a lot of people so I got Geekbench for loaded up on both the MacBook Pro and the 2018 MacBook Air my initial impression or actually prediction rather is that yes this MacBook Pro is probably gonna be faster but again the point of this MacBook Air is not going to be sheer performance but rather getting somewhere close but giving you a lighter and more portable form factor so we're getting close so the MacBook Air actually just finished up with a single core score of 43 12 and a multi-core score of 7,000 846 from there we have the MacBook Pro finishing up and we're actually way closer than I would have expected single core performance they're pretty much just like equal 44 66 on the MacBook Pro 43 12 on the MacBook Air the MacBook Pro does have a faster multi-core score of 93 40 but again based off this having a measly 7 watt Y Series chip the performance isn't as huge as maybe some would have guessed again the point of this MacBook Air is not to be a powerhouse it's going to give you MacBook Pro like performance put in a smaller and more portable form factor on top of that you have things like touch ID which is missing on this MacBook Pro you have the t2 chip inside the MacBook Air and one thing I also want to address is the comparison against the 12-inch MacBook and one huge advantage of this over that is going to be the fact that you have Thunderbolt 3 ports as opposed to just USB C so initial impressions of the MacBook Air I think maybe once again people have jumped the gun just a little early I though I'm excited to test this out to put it through its paces and if you want to see anything covered in the full in-depth review let me know with the comment down below what's that you want to win a brand-new 2018 MacBook Air or potentially a new iPad
