New 15" MacBook Pro 2012 (Retina Display MacBook Pro)

2012-06-11
this episode of unbox the repiy is brought to you by go daddy what's up guys welcome to the latest episode of in review this of course is my weekly show where I look back at the different products that were featured on the channel over the previous week and give you guys a little bit of a recap a little bit of a casual insight into what I truly think about some of those items well since I spent the last week out in LA for e3 this episode's gonna be a little different I'm gonna use it as an opportunity to address a very big announcement at least in my mind that took place today at the WWDC event that took place out in California now if you don't know what WWDC is it's Apple's Developers Conference and often it's a venue for them to launch new products well today they launched something that in my opinion is very exciting among other things but for me the most exciting is the new MacBook Pro it is incredibly thin incredibly light and still it retains the power in fact it's got more power significantly more power than the MacBook Pro that I'm speaking into right now to record this video so you're going to get something that is just a hair thicker than the MacBook Air it's a 4 and 1/2 pounds I believe or around there you've got 8 or 16 gigabytes of RAM available you've got an incredible this is the most important aspect Retina display which is twenty eight eighty by eighteen hundred pixels an incredibly high resolution display for a 15-inch laptop in fact they were saying the highest resolution ever in this form factor and I do believe it I've never personally looked at that resolution before in such a small environment you're going to get an incredible amount of pixel density meaning your eyes will not have the ability to discern individual pixels plus you're going to have a significant amount more work space all those pixels equal more space to lay things out because the sharpness allows you to resolve things that are significantly smaller all very exciting stuff that's probably the most exciting aspect you're going to get Core i7 processors with turbo boost up to I believe what do we got here 3.6 gigahertz the base model has a 2.3 gigahertz core i7 with turbo boost up to 3.3 Hertz so lots of speed even though things have been trimmed down so significantly you're still gonna get really nice battery life seven hours is what they're stating of course nobody has actually tested this yet they're gonna get either a 256 gigabytes solid-state drive or a 512 gigabyte solid state drive so very large storage numbers for SSDs in terms of performance once again we're gonna have to wait and see exactly what those s as these are it's point seven one inches thick to be exact and I did want to get that right and it's just under four and a half pounds four point four six pounds you've also got upgraded graphics you're now gonna get the GeForce GT 650 M with one gigabyte of onboard gddr5 memories so a significant boost in graphics performance from the previous gen MacBook Pro you're also gonna get Snow Leopard shipping on these no that's one of my time but I'm still using Snow Leopard you're gonna get Mountain Lion shipping on these which is incredibly exciting a lot of new features new notifications everything was really covered in the keynote in fact I'll put a link to the to the keynote down in the description of this video in case you missed it I was even live-streaming during it but as you guys can tell I'm most excited about this product right here they even launched new MacBook Airs and new old-style MacBook Pros that did not change the design and are going to be available at a more sort of value conscious price point to talk about price the new redesigned model is gonna start at 20 199 and go all the way up to 2800 before putting your custom specs into there so you could spec one out to probably four grand if you really tried but you can still get the older form factor unibody design that I'm speaking into right now with upgraded internal specs but something you're not gonna get is you're not gonna get the improved fan performance which Apple has stated is going to bring the volume level of the new redesigned MacBook Pro down significantly so that is something to consider I know in my case I do a lot of audio recording a lot of video editing so the volume level is very important to me and having a quieter MacBook Pro is something I could really really get into and get excited about you add onto that the lighter lighter weight for factor and on top of it all their Retina display and you can tell guys I really got to pick this thing up it won't be shipping for five to seven business days they are taking orders right now and who knows if the supply is going to be able to match the demand it may not actually get delivered until beyond a week's time but as soon as I get my hands on one you guys can trust that I'm going to be unboxing it reviewing it right here on unbox therapy on this channel where products get naked and you guys are used to it I'll do it in my epic cinematic style so you guys don't miss anything or any of the details on the new model the design etc it's got two Thunderbolt displays USB 3.0 has been added still got an SD slot a slightly redesigned MagSafe adapter of course these are all far less important than that big beautiful Retina display the thin and light form factor and the upgraded internal specs that should knock your socks off so anyway guys that has been your episode of in review as you can tell this particular item that got announced here this MacBook Pro sorta shifted me off my usual focus but we are going to get back to unboxing videos over the course of this week in fact I've got stuff piling up like crazy so definitely stick around for it but I did want to take a little break to talk about and give you guys some more information on this particular MacBook Pro in case you missed the event once again I'll put a link to that event
