hey what's up everyone is Marcus Brownlee from mkbhd and this is actually kind of a not a rebuttal video but there was a video response in the first place to Apple soldier or a Meeks video comparing the del I'll just show you guys the MacBook Pro 17-inch and the dill em 17 X 17 inch laptop so he was comparing like the prices of the two and just going over them and like the way you went through it was kind of quick but I mean I'm trying to see what his point was with the the pricing of the two machines but I just didn't see it so I decided to go through with it myself and actually compare the specs of the the 17-inch MacBook Pro and these m17 starting from the bottom and working our way up and seeing which one turns out to be more so respect respect the 17-inch MacBook Pro there is only one you can start from the bottom at the 17 inch MacBook Pro so you hit select and I'll go to the M 17 and continue customizing so this is the base price of the N 17 X so that's 1799 and for the MacBook it's 2500 so that's what it's starting at so I mean if there is a lower version please tell me but I'm just I'm just doing this for myself so the processor a 2.8 gigahertz Intel Core 2 Duo and on the M 17 if we go to processor we are looking at a 2.8 gigahertz Intel Core 2 Duo so now right now it's 1999 for the Dell M 17 and still 2500 for the MacBook now you can go up to 3.06 and I think you can go up to yeah a quad-core processor I'm not even gonna do that so second ram which was the the big thing you were talking about was that it costs so much for ram right now it costs $1000 to put in 8 gigs of 1066 ran in the MacBook Pro so if we go ahead and put 8 gigs of 1066 Ram the same exact Ram putting it in the M 17 I'm going to go down to memory the same exact Ram put again into 17 is $700 so the price is obviously it's a big difference right now is 2699 and $34.99 now there's a hard drive thing - okay we want we want performance the only reason we're getting a 17 inch desktop replacement is for performance the most I'm really going to move a 17 inch laptop but like I said if you're gonna buy one it's not going much you know you're gonna travel with it on vacation once in a while moving it from room to room something your performance so we're going for a 256 gig solid state hard drive that's $650 upgrade on the MacBook and if we go to hard drive on the Dell M 17 X it is a $400 upgrade okay again I'm just I'm just pointing this stuff out next we go back to the MacBook and you mentioned in the video you get iLife okay you get I work and all that stuff actually it's not coming it doesn't at the base price it doesn't come with the MacBook so you're not gonna get any of the software I work I life you're not gonna get f c/e you're not gonna get office you're not gonna get anything with the Mac I'm sorry with the m17 you do get you know you get OpenOffice you get whatever you want open-source software but again looking at the base price without any software on either one this is 3100 and this is well this is past 4100 so I mean if you can I mean I was trying to see what you're saying in your video but I didn't really see it a hundred percent so if you could you know just leave me a comment or a video response or whatever you need to do to explain how you got the the MacBook to cost less with the same specs I'm seeing a thousand dollar difference here between the MacBook and I'm not going to pay a thousand dollars for an aluminum casing and an operating system so just let me know what your thoughts are and leave your comments below and thanks for watching guys peace you
