what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo huey new apple could say at a news more than a few days and today they finally announced a refresh to their macbook pro line of laptops he said long been rumored i even fall asleep predicted them evidently a well over a month ago delay was evidently due to a shortage of the core chips that evidently rival manufacturer acer was monopolizing let's go ahead and hop right into the updates in throws you that may not know the macbook pro line ranges from a 13-inch model to a 15 inch models up to 17 let's start with the little guys the 13s though what used to be called macbooks they got updates they didn't get updates to the new core line of chips so the i3 i5 or i7 they say with core two duos but did get a spec bump the lower end was bumped from 2.26 to 2.53 and the higher end went from 2.42 2.66 and they all got four gigs around which is quite nice price point is 11 99 and 1499 and they now claim a whopping 10 hours of battery of course that's a sealed in non removable battery but 10 hours if accurate is quite impressive let's get sort of to the meat and potatoes of apple's announcement that is the 15 inch length that's really where most of the action happens you now have core i5 and core i7 chips kirby's kind of wondering what are these core chips essentially the architecture on the silicon the trip without getting too geeky allows for faster processing even though the clock speeds they seem lower so the now r i5 and i7 it's pretty much across the entire line offering intel's hyper-threading essentially that allows for four virtual cores on a dual-core processor so more cores batch processing oh even though they do have slower clock speeds apples plenty they can come in almost fifty percent higher than the outgoing core2duo trips so just to show you it's not always clock speed that relates to actual computer speed a lot of other factors in there so these are much much much faster on despite the lower clock speed so the higher end is going to have a new graphics card well the nvidia geforce GT 330m with autographic switching essentially what that is it's akin to the Nvidia Optimus technology what that'll do is if you're just doing sort of like browsing you don't need your big powerful video card it's not going to use it just gonna use an integrated card that's in there as well whatever you need to use for graphical power it's automatically going to switch over to that graphics card certain you'll get better grab performance but you'll have decreased battery life and when you're done doing graphics intensive stuff like gaming whatever you might be doing it'll automatically switch back to integrated so you didn't have to do anything previously you had to flip a switch or there was a software solution now you're nothing to worry about it automatically can do it for you and you're gonna get improved better like because of it because you're not always going to be using the big beefy card and apples claiming their new MacBook Pro lines the 1570s you're going to get between 8-9 hours battery life which is also pretty impressive so the core i5 is you can get in all the models start at 2.4 gigahertz go to 2.53 and the core i7 chip goes to 2.6 64 gigs ram is now standard across the entire models you can also now get huge 512 gigabyte solid-state REM you know all that solid saying goodness is not going to come cheap it's going to set you back another 1,300 bucks prices start at 1799 the 15 inch which is actually a hundred dollar price premium over the outgoing models and they go all the way up to 2299 on 17 and again they are boasting 8 to 9 hours of battery life on the 15-inch model to get a bit more customization you can change the screen options by default you're going to get a 1440 x 900 glossy screen you can upgrade to a 1680 x 1050 glossy screen four hundred dollars more which is super high-res you can also add an anti-glare essentially turns into a matte screen for fifty dollars more 17-inch to sort of stuck with their monitor configuration which is 1920 x 1200 and those you sort of considering the higher res frame if Nick higher is always better sometimes it is but also can make the fonts and appear much smaller a little sharper something that you want to check out in the store before you go and buy just some friendly advice if you look at some really high res laptop like the sony vaio p for example really really high res almost impossible to read i'm not saying that's going to be the case of the macbook pros but i just don't want you to go out there and spend the extra money and realize that you can't read your computer so what's missing for all these updates well nothing about the macbook air which hasn't received it update in a very very long time and maybe apples forgotten about it maybe you'll see an update at the worldwide developers conference or maybe it's been end of life we don't really know the math book line i remained unchanged but these are some pretty significant updates the macbook pro nothing revolutionary this is more of an evolutionary upgrade to faster processors something that we certainly expected don't underestimate though this upgrade this core i5 and core i7 chips really honest you know in action are tremendous and amazingly powerful so you've been holding off for a macbook pro now it was definitely time to write up and get 1 i'm going to get this question all the time I've gotten older macbook pros or to do a chip should i upgrade well if you're doing things that require faster processor speed you may want to consider it this isn't just a core two duo 2.4 bump to 2.6 bump this is an entire review of how the computer processes things and it is a significant bump although i don't think unless you're doing heavy processing you're going to need it the core 2 duo chips are still plenty fast although these one new ones can potentially be fifty percent faster which of course is quite a bit so what you guys think are you excited about the new macbook pro bus was it worth the wait I disappointed were you hoping to see an update for the macbook air like I was or do not care at all you just want Apple to shut their mouths through sick of their news I know there are some of you guys out there as well I'll leave text or video comments down below I'm really curious hear what you guys have to say and I am jon rettinger from technobuffalo I'll see in the next video for life
