First Video and Pixels: Ask MKBHD V11!

2016-11-04
leave me alone how will you say that this is a scam PhD v11 with your hands oh is this is a this is number 11 okay what's up guys mkbhd here welcome to ask mkbhd version 11 there are plenty of questions of course I asked you guys on Twitter what you guys wanted to know there's been plenty of uploads in the past month planning to talk about plenty of tech releases just let's just go grab the surface studio or wait for refresh with better specs okay so I've seen the surface studio people are asking why I didn't cover it I was on a plane during that on the way to the Apple event so I was watching it on this crappy Wi-Fi but I'm aware of it should you get one now obviously it looks really cool you can always be waiting for better specs I don't think you need to wait it's a brand new product you can feel free to be safe and get it now but yeah I think this is a product that's going to be continued by Microsoft it's kind of ridiculously good-looking and I hope there's many more guilty pleasures of this year's tech of this year's um I don't I don't think I really have any fur this year what I will say though I haven't really told many people this the Moto 360 like the original with the the circle but the flat tire on the bottom that's one of my favourite SmartWatch designs ever like since the beginning there's been like years of smartwatches since then and everyone's like oh I want the full circle I don't care if I need a bigger bezel that flat tire design is ugly I kind of really liked it do you love the pixel as much as you thought you would and has become your daily driver yes it is my daily driver it's the phone I'm testing right now my main sin is in it and this is actually one of those phones that I like more than I thought I would we all you know or smartphone enthusiasts we look at the specs when we see it announced we're maybe not the most impressed with the pixel it's not water resistant you know it doesn't have expandable storage it's not the prettiest design when you see it on paper or in an ad when you condense a phone down to just the experience of using it just the software experience of what makes these phones what made previous Nexus is so good it reminds you a lot of what makes a phone good this phone is a lot better in person than any video or tutorial or review can really show you that being said I am definitely reviewing it when will we see the studio tour soon I actually shot it already and I shot it in 360 so if you saw the snapchat teasers or the two or teasers if he following you've already noticed this but I've shot the studio tour it's you know sent evolving space there's going to be more stuff coming in and out of here all the time but for those of you who are curious and kind of want to know the general layout of what it looks like that's going to be a video that's upcoming very soon so thumbs up if you're excited to see that hopefully it drops on your sub box shortly if you were Tim Cook for a brief period of time I guess if I was a CEO of Apple for a second or two what tasks would you have deployed to the Apple engineers that's easy uh new Mac Pro please in matte black with the new chips do it now do it what is your go-to tech gift for this holiday season for those all these price range ideas so for twenty to fifty bucks that's kind of in your like non-functional accessory market like if I'm talking about smartphones that's your screen protectors your skins your cases stuff like that or 50 to 100 bucks that's getting into more of like your functional accessories so things actually do stuff so like a battery case to have extra battery life or maybe like one of those cradles or extra lenses on the back of the smartphone shoot better video 100 to 250 bucks is sort of an awkward range for a smartphone related gift but if you're into stuff like mid to high end headphones that can be an idea and then from 250 to 500 bucks you can get a smartphone for this price you can get a great smartphone for this price I've recommended a couple already I've shown some this year the oneplus 3 comes to mind coz that's automatically at the top of my list for under 500 bucks but there's plenty of others from moto and Xiaomi and others so why are you still using an aged Mac Pro instead of maybe a faster and updated Windows setup okay so yeah I've talked a little bit about this on Twitter but I'm still using you can't really see it but way back there the Mac Pro the trashcan which came out in 2013 when I mentioned I was actually considering getting a fully top-spec maxed out MacBook Pro to replace that on my desktop ton of questions came to mind number one is why don't you switch to like a Windows bilges build a Windows PC and learn premiere or Vegas or something like that I've actually been using Adobe Premiere for nearly a decade believe it or not like seven years of using Adobe Premiere so it's not like I need to learn something new I switched in the last year to Final Cut Pro for a reason and as performance and I'm not really switching that Macintosh doesn't really work for me I mean maybe as a recreational project it's fun but the reliability isn't there for a full time machine to edit videos every day so yeah that's kind where I'm at is like I I want a new Mac Pro obviously like I've said but there's not a whole lot of options for a high-end machine that I can do do them on it maybe an iMac maybe like a matte black iMac or something I don't know what's up with Kumar this is kind of a long story but not really some of you guys have seen that video where there's like 10 facts about marques Brownlee that you didn't know and one of them is that my middle name is apparently Kumar which is funny because first of all it's not but I know exactly where that guy got that from which is if you go to one of those like Cora like question-and-answer sites where someone asked what is marques Brownlee's middle name someone came up with this flawless logic to explain why it must be Kumar and then another fun fact I have a Wikipedia page about me you you can't edit your own Wikipedia page for some reason only others can update it for you so of course when this video came out other people edited the Wikipedia page to say that that was my middle name and then on top of that if you ask Google like what someone's middle name is it's pulling a lot of that stuff from the knowledge graph from Wikipedia so it'll tell you a middle name is whatever the last guess was that someone edited in Wikipedia sometimes it's Komara sometimes it's other names it's not none of those are right how did you feel when you heard Tesla upgraded autopilot hardware so significantly after you got your p 100 d uh in a word defeated but it's not that bad so you might have heard that my car Apollo which I got less than a month ago uh will never be upgraded to the autopilot 2.0 hardware it is incompatible and we'll never get retrofit so immediate when I hear that you know I've been I've saved up for years I've been dying to get this car I finally get a garage I years later I get the new announcement P 100 D I pull the trigger and I'm super psyched and in three weeks later its outdated for life how does that yeah that khana is defeating so I talked to Tesla for a little bit I'm immediately like listen I I want the new hardware so maybe we can set up like a trade-in right now I'll order a new P 100 d today we can set this whole thing up and they kind of talked me through it and I'm not that sold anymore essentially the autopilot that's in these cars now that's coming out is going to catch up with software updates over the next couple weeks and years and months to be as good as my car now and my car is also going to keep getting software updates to so I don't need to trade in right now to get that new hardware I feel like maybe in two years I might come back around again when there's like a P 120 D or something ridiculous and pulled trigger on that and get the new hardware and get the trade-in so it's kind of alright there's definitely some angry Tesla owners out there who like just got a new car and then like days later we'll find out that they'll never get that autopilot 2.0 kind of rough how are you feeling after that loss last night so Ryan is asking about my Clippers losing to his Thunder I don't feel that bad about it my Clippers actually I think they look really good this year it's early season and we did lose to a great Thunder team and I'm just going to say it now the MVP of the 2017 season Russell Westbrook so I'm not that mad but I like our bench I like our studs I think we stay healthy we'll go deep in the Western Conference which is a gauntlet again how would you react to your first video now alright welcome to my first video what a new laptop and the media center removed with it quite a nice room so quite a nice remote um DVD button will play DVDs it'll open up the DVD is I can't can't I can't watch the whole thing uh that was really bad but I'm glad I made it was the Craig federighi Apple's idea or yours so I did get to interview Craig federighi is you've probably seen in that previous video that was Apple approached me for that so that's probably all I can say about that but also fun fact about that I didn't know I went to the event I didn't know who I knew I was going to be interviewing someone but I'd know who I was going to be interviewing until like 45 minutes before I got to set up the camera equipment and do the interview so that's number one and then of course you know some people are saying y'all those are great questions those are really fun the others were saying oh you went way too soft on him you should have grilled them on the SD card slot and the missing features on the MacBook Pro yeah you're probably right I was pretty happy with the questions I came up with in the 45 minutes that I was sitting there before I got to do the interview but I would happily gladly interview another person from Apple in the future just saying are you going to do a giveaway it's been a long time since their last giveaway man love your crispy videos Thank You Bogart 25 appreciate
