hey guys it's Cena with a verge I'm here on the Apple Campus in Cupertino apple just released a new line of MacBook Pros which are super cool they take a lot of inspiration from the MacBook the super small and thin MacBook and now they brought it to the pro size with pro horsepower but the big feature is the new touch strip on the mid-level 13-inch MacBook Pro in the 15-inch MacBook Pro so here you can see I'm just going to find her then what you've got is kind of like the classic function keys shown up on the screen but if I press right here you see this opens into the classic wall and I can close it i can press right here on the volume keys and instead of that I get a touch display that's controlling the volume that's the that's fine but the real action here is that this is context-sensitive to apps so I'm here in this message I want to type I want to send it emoji I push the emoji key and now I have a full access to emojis in a touch display just like you would on a phone the move here is really bringing a lot of touch elements that we've seen on phones and tablets to the Mac without putting in a touch screen so here you can see the keyboard is going to make typing selection suggestions autocorrect suggestions as I type which is pretty neat you can see it's just letting me type right with a keyboard just like the smart Keyboard on an iPhone but instead of touching the screen I'm touching this touch panel here there's all kinds of other things you can do this I can open QuickTime this is a video you can see I can scrub in the video just by touching the thing I can hit play I can scrub back and forth that's pretty cool they've got photos here so I can switch over to photos so photos is open here I can scroll through all the photos I have I can press the edit key right here I can click filters and now I can bang through photo filters right on the keyboard without having to go to the screen and use the mouse over here I can push this button I can so the cropping I can do I can rotate the photos right with the touchpad or I'm sorry right with the touch bar right on the keyboard without lifting my hand here so a very interesting way of bringing touch controls to the keyboard without actually bringing touch the screen apples also showing off some third-party apps so here I've got word you can see word has a bunch of editing controls I can hit bold mount typing in bold we can hit italic all the classic stuff that you would see usually the menu bar brought down right in front of your screen when you open Safari you get a bunch of favorites the new tab window it also remembers all your tabs so you can switch tabs just by touching the screen you can also hit search right from the bar when you hit search it brings up a bunch of your favorites here I think it's really funny that Apple has given itself the biggest button with its own name spelled out that nobody else gets that button on screen so that's pretty neat and then out of system level you can hit the Siri button you get serious here can barely hear me right now what's going on Siri she doesn't understand because it's super loud in here and over here on the touch bar you have the touch ID sensor and the power button so that's just a regular power button here he's just trying to listen to me so if I hold this down it's actually a button over here if I hold it down you can see I get I get a bunch of things happening and it's touch ID so if I try to buy something or bad Apple base set up I could just touch right here and it would be touch ID and either log me in or approve an Apple pay purchase so that is the big touch bar you can also see this trackpad is absolutely massive it's 2 times as big as the previous track pads it's four stotch it doesn't move it just has the taptic engine underneath it the keyboard is really much shallower than the current MacBook Pro it's not quite as shallow as the MacBook but it's definitely notice a shallower it feels really fast I like a shallow keyboard so it's fine but you're gonna have to try it out and feel for yourself and then along the side heyo there's headphone jack it's my favorite and then you've got for what Apple is calling Thunderbolt three ports either actually the use same form factor is USB C so you get two on this side and then two over here all of these are also charging ports because they are in fact the same form factor as USB C so you can plug in any charger all four ports will charge they'll be Thunderbolt 3 and then all of your docks and accessories can plug right in so just the four Thunderbolt 3 ports that are the same form factors USB C and a headphone jack nothing very special on the bottom this whole thing is very thin in light it's 4 pounds it feels incredibly light to me I even current 15 inch MacBook Pro user this thing feels great the Retina display is thinner than before 65 percent brighter all in all a really solid update to the MacBook Pro with a really new interesting UI convention in the touch bar that it seems like third-party developers are going to take a lot of advantage of as they create you eyes for touch on the Mac that don't rely on a touchscreen so the new MacBook starts at $14.99 for a model without the touch bar that's 13-inch with 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports and no touch bar just regular function keys and it goes up the 15-inch model here the quad-core processor goes up to about 23 99 there's a million custom configuration options in there sure you can make this thing as expensive or as it expenses as you want but the cheap ones starts shipping really soon like tomorrow these bigger ones with a touch bar start shipping in two to three weeks and we will have a review very soon so the new MacBook Pro is really cool but there's one thing that's sad the Apple logo doesn't glow anymore which is incredibly depressing because I love the glowing Apple logo it's super shiny now and you get a touch bar like that which is cool there's no more glowing Apple logo
