hey guys john r Ettinger with John four Lakers comm I'm gonna give you a demonstration of the backlit keyboard found on the 2.4 gigahertz but not found on the 2gig get hurt MacBook and the backlit keyboard is also found on both version 2 the back Book Pro I'm gonna show you what that looks like I'm also gonna walk you through the speaker system on the MacBook and show you how it compares to the iMac so guys hope you enjoy and don't forget to check out the website WWJ for Lakers comm and if you think whether you have what it takes to be a ride and be sure to hit the apply button down on the right hand side alright guys I will talk to you soon bye alright guys here is a keyboard on the MacBook it's not totally dark in here but it should be dark enough for you to see the backlighting you have certain settings you can set it for whether you want to stay on all the time or stay on for 10 seconds 20 seconds really any interval that you choose so I have mine set to turn off after 5 seconds there you go you can see the back lights kind of light up each row of keys and I believe that's powered by two LEDs found on each side of the keyboard so there's one here and one here and they spread out across and it definitely helps for typing in dark conditions it's not entirely dark in here but you can see looking over the keyboard right now it is a little bit hard to see the end in the EM when you light it up becomes much much much clearer so guys just a quick demonstration of the backlighting and what it looks like looks very similar in the MacBook Air and I found the backlighting to be very handy actually not a terribly large drain on battery life either so no harm leaving it on a little bit longer there's the monitor as well alright guys I'm gonna give you now a quick demonstration of the speaker system alright guys to show off the speakers and to avoid any copyright issues I'm going to use GarageBand I'm gonna use the default rock music that shows up so the first thing you're going to hear is music from the iMac coming through the Harman Kardon sound 6 speakers so these are very very high-end speakers with great sounds there's a subwoofer underneath so you can get a sense of comparison here so we're gonna go ahead and hit play and let it play for a minute we're at the base coming out okay now I've got the same thing open here on the MacBook I'm gonna go ahead and play that as well that was a decent comparison between the two the MacBook certainly doesn't sound as good as the larger Harman Kardon speakers but it is much better than any laptop speaker system that I can remember it even sounds as good as my old MacBook Pro while there isn't that necessarily a dedicated speaker grille the speakers are behind here right at the hinge between the front display and the base of the computer so there is actually a fair amount of room for the super noise to come out right back there it's also where the vent is as well so guys hope you got a nice sense of the speakers they are certainly loud they're lacking a little bit in base obviously but you know for general laptop soundings it actually is very impressive if you're looking to do any professional sound mixing you definitely gonna want to connect external speakers but if you just want to watch a movie with some friends or listening to some music these will serve you just fine and when you guys hope you found this helpful and I will see you guys in the next video bye
