hey guys john r Ettinger here then i'm boxing for you of a brand new 13-inch MacBook Pro this is not mine this is just one that I have to review for just a few days unfortunately but it is brand new which means new unboxing so I'll be comparing this with my current MacBook which is a 2.4 gigahertz model not pro and I'll do some head-to-head comparisons for as long as I have this unfortunately like I said I only get it for a few days so in typical unboxing fashion let's take a look at what we got you've got the 13.3 inch aluminum macbook pro displayed out closed telling you what it is on the front on the top you've got a list of specs which I will run down for you very quickly it's a 2.5 3 gigahertz processor so it's a the higher end of the that particular range it's got three Meg's of shared level 2 cache 4 gigs of ram so this thing will be fast for many years it's got a 256 gigabyte hard drive spinning at 5400 rpm and the 3.3 inch LED backlit the screen and the rest of the stuff you know you probably know and I'll show you the computer as I open it up so let's go ahead and unbox this sucker and this is of course running Snow Leopard since it is brand new and it's got a picture of the computer open on the back so we will use the obligatory big-ass knife to open this up I'll try not to slice my finger open as I do it alright so the seal has been officially broken which always makes you have to say so go ahead and open this thing right up and those you have seen MacBook and MacBook Pro in boxes look very familiar there's a sort of a layer on foam on the top to help protect it here is the laptop itself sitting in a tray we'll put that off to the side for just one moment take a look at what else comes in the box you get your power adapter pretty standard fare with a little bit of an extension cable and you get the MagSafe power that plugs right on in and then you also have your everything Mac everything else CD booklet which has your backup and restore drives discs and some information so can you close that up that's not what you're here to see anyway let's push that off to the side I wanted to take a quick walkthrough of the computer so of course you've got your Apple logo the unibody aluminum construction made out of a solid piece of aluminum on the right side of the Vice is upside down there is your DVD burning super drive on the left side which is where all the port action is found you've got your MagSafe you've got your Gigabit Ethernet you now have firewire back that's firewire 800 you've got your mini display port for hooking up to whatever monitors you want two USB 2.0 ports and the new SD card slot which is actually quite handy if you guys use cameras you're professional photographer you're Patrick Hardin and you've got your headset jack but you can actually be used for audio in or audio out with the microphone and you've got a battery indicator right there tell you how much charge you have left on the back everything is completely sealed up because this has the extended laptop battery so gone are the ways of that you can sort of pop these out let's do a real quick size comparison with the older 13 inch MacBook s' so here on the right hand side is my macbook can see it says macbook this was before they really made everything unibody MacBook Pro and they look identical the only place really gonna see a difference is on the back I've got instant access to the battery and hard drive whereas on the new MacBook Pros they are completely sealed so you can't get access to them but you do get a much much much better battery so I think that would be nice to have anyway like I said this is just a review unit while we get it for a few days so make as many videos as I can if you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments or make a video response for exclusive content check me out on Twitter twitter.com slash John chord Lakers and to learn more about TechnoBuffalo check out TechnoBuffalo comm links to both of these will be in the sidebar I'll see you guys the next video buh-bye
