range the HS 70 headphones work with your PC Xbox or Playstation 4 and come to market at under $100 check them out and see what you think ok I know that most of my audience are definitely PC fans but there's some crazy stuff going on right now over on the Apple side of things I just thought I would bring the table and share with you guys now you guys all know that Apple definitely in the last few years seems to have stagnated from the powerhouse they once were and now Apple has this brand-new eye 9 laptop so brand new MacBook Pro things like $3,000 and the big rumors and the thing that's all surrounding and bringing a bunch of hype is that people are saying that due to the design of this new laptop and the way the processor throttles because let's just face it the laptop is very very thin and we'll get to that in a minute it's going to throttle a little bit but the big controversy is that everybody is saying at this new laptop even though it's a supreme price and cost all this money it's performing a lot worse than the previous generation I 7 version of the laptop now Jonathan at TLD actually has run a bunch of tests and through real world applications excuse me real world applications oh that sounded kind of funny he's proven that this is actually not true whatsoever so we'll the link down below to his channel where you guys can check that out where he runs all his tests and everything and I think he's actually gonna have a follow up video to that as well he shows that honestly that's not really true whatsoever but for me being a PC guy it's obvious though if you build a laptop and you're using the latest Intel processors and we now all know that Intel's had problems with he and all this other stuff lately you know the laptop should have better cooling solution inside of it I mean these laptops come to market they basically I think they have like a 500 gigabyte SSD 16 gigabytes of RAM you know and then they add the latest I nine processors is a six core you know twelve thread processor if you're gonna build something like this with such a powerhouse of the CPU I don't really think that baking it so thin and so light is really the best design anywhere and this is where I think Apple really screwed up in this particular product is that the cooling solution is honestly it's a fail Jonathan does show in the videos that the CPU is not running as well as it should due to the throttling now obviously it's not being faster I mean I excuse me obviously it's not being slower than the previous generation but it is not living up to its full capacity of a CPU whatsoever because the CPU starts to throttle from the heat that's going to be less performance now most people always know and the biggest complaint for me where specs from the PC Guide side of things is that you know these MacBook Pros cost way too much I mean let's just face it if you were to spend over $3,000 and get yourself a gaming laptop on the PC side of things man you're talking about a 17 inch screen geez saying probably 64 gigabytes of RAM 1080 we're talking about fully decked out computer on the PC side of things for that side of money but on the Mac side of things charging $3,000 honestly for a laptop that throttles is complete total bullcrap I think that everybody should honestly probably veto this product and tell Mac to go jump on the bandwagon of going backwards because that's where it seems they're going even though this thing does have all the latest greatest features it's slightly upgradeable the very fact the CPUs throttling getting hot just makes it a complete drawback now you could possibly you know get an external laptop cooler notice things that flip up and they have fans on it and that might help a little bit but that really doesn't help when you're traveling around and most of the guys who use the Mac books stuff like that they're guys who travel around all over the place and they want a light laptop that has a lot of power in it you know and in the past you know Apple has successfully sold this product to you know billions of probably people is millions of people around the world and may a crap ton of cash doing it but at this point for them to release a laptop which CPU gets hot and throttles and actually cuts away from the performance that's kind of really to my eyes kind of a shady thing that's like kind of selling me a car that if I go a certain speed limit my engine gets hot and then the engine just goes back now sure maybe it's faster than the previous v6 I was running but still if I'm gonna be buying something that's new I want to be able to perform at its absolute best capabilities are you with me with this because I think that you are you know if you go out and you spin especially $3,000 on a laptop there should be no performance issues whatsoever and having a CPU that's overheating and throttling to me that's a complete utter red flag I would never purchase one of these new laptops and honestly I think anybody out there who's actually buying these things is probably after they get them and use them probably is starting to think about it and getting a little pissy as well because even though it does perform better than the previous I 7 generation the i7 generation didn't throttle is bad and you can probably get that particular version for a lot less money now that this new one has come out now the only thing that I can honestly say about Mac products that I can say it's a cool thing is that usually when you have Mac products and you go to sell them you do get a good value on your dollar most pcs that they're used you see the the monetary value of the product actually go down it really never goes up with Mac products it's kind of like buying a Harley or buying a Gibson because it has that name it does have a better resale value than PC stuff and I know that's the way Jonathan looks at things he gets these products he reviews them if they're not really good hey he just sells them trades them off or get something you know new or better or just different to suit his needs so at the end of the day I think Apple need to really refocus what they're doing it just seems like right now the company doesn't really know what's going on with itself for one thing the person who's running the company right now is not really a guy who's an idea man he's a guy who is great at running a company making sure things get taken care of but he's no Steve Jobs and I'm not trying to insult the guy or anything but you know his thinking and basically thinking outside of the bubble or thinking of new things to do is just not the same as the company was before and since they always relied on pretty much having something innovative that their users really liked making products that are starting to go backwards and not do as well is really a bad thing for Apple and selling a laptop and knowing right off the bat that the CPU is going to throttle and not give you the absolute best performance shame on you Apple now I know most of my ears will be like yeah screw those guys but if you're an Apple guy let me know what you think but personally I think that buying a laptop for $3,000 should have absolutely no issues whatsoever Apple needs to get a really swift kick in the butt and make them wake up and redesign and make different products there should be no reason for your CPU to be getting hot and to be throttling in a $3,000 product piece
