what's going on guys drivers consumer and it's time for a day in the life with the new MacBook Pro with its new touch bar now we're going to be spending a full day with the new MacBook Pro and since it has a few changes we're going to see how those changes impact the day to day or of course gonna take a look at the performance and of course how that new touch bar works so today we're spending the day with this guy the MacBook Pro new one with the touch bar 15 inches so let's see use unlock with touch ID there I go some social blade for you now obviously this doesn't have the ports so I've got some of the gear that I mentioned in my top 5 accessories video so this is the Satechi hub plug that guy in and with that I can use my Final Cut Pro and all that good stuff but I did just drop a new video so I should probably respond to some comments as you guys know I do and try out this keyboard and as good to just respond to you guys because I mean I'm killing two birds with one stone here luckily trying out this new keyboard this is a butterfly 2 keyboard now Apple made this with their 12-inch MacBook and I did not like it it will it felt way too flat but this feels a lot better and it's something you can get used to over time I just couldn't get used to the 12 inch now something that I can't get over and I'm not getting used to at all is the giant trackpad now if you guys look here this thing is massive it's way way larger than the original MacBook Pros and it's actually not as much of a blessing as I thought it would be because I tend to rest my palm on the trackpad as I'm doing stuff and I usually ends up with this happening palm on the trackpad try to click something and that's a right-click it is so annoying and I was able to replicate that on first try so just think about how often that happens to me when I'm just trying to browse look at that uh and I went back definitely not what I want to do I don't know I got to get used to it maybe it's a matter of me learning to work in the mid the trackpad but it's a learning curve and it sucks now while I may personally not find any real use for a much much larger trackpad it's going to be good for some creators artists people who tend to use the trackpad for getting some creative work done yeah I just got to get used to that but I know you guys are probably wondering mostly about this touch bar now I have some mixed feelings about this I'm definitely excited to see this thing develop and grow but I do have some qualms with it some things I don't really like think that I dislike the most about this is that it falls asleep so if you're doing something and then you need to hit the escape button let's say you're watching a video you got hit the escape button you got to tap it and then tap it again whereas with a regular MacBook Pro you could just hit this gay bar and boom you're done IRAs actually been having her own issues with the touch bar so as you can see you can hit emojis of course but sometimes they don't work for her obviously it works here but it's infrequent really so she might have she might be able to use two sometimes but a lot of the times now I think she's had a few tries where they just didn't work now for Thunderbolt 3 ports like it or hate it one thing that's really cool is that you can now charge it on any side usually it's on the left over here depending on where your outlets are you can just plug in and as you can see this is me in the middle of an edit right now I'm pretty much done with this one this is going to be an exciting video if you have not seen it I don't know when which of these two videos will go up but I'll have this video linked down below in the description one cool thing though just so you guys can get a sneak peek is that the speakers on this are amazing check this out what's going on everyone at your average consumer and this right here behind me is what I'm calling the fire setup alright guys right now I'm just packing up because I'm about to head over to to office because he has the new LG 5k monitor in there and I'm gonna see what it's like to edit some video there hey guys this is Austin not really obviously this is Austin's office but over here we have the LG 5k display now this is going to go perfectly with the new MacBook it's made for it but LG decided to sponsor today's video so I can put the 5k display through its paces and see how it works while I'm doing my editing and all the regular stuff I do with my new MacBook so sadly this is the life of someone with a MacBook Pro you're gonna have to connect dongles and all kinds of stuff before you really get anything done but what's cool is while this thing does have four Thunderbolt 3 ports or USB type-c ports the LG monitor actually has a few as well so back here we've got another Thunderbolt 3 port and three USB type-c ports and as you can see I've just dropped it down a bit and that's because this thing is adjustable so you can adjust it how you want to whatever height move it however you want so there's some pretty good flexibility here depending on how tall you are I'm sure so I put it all the way down now this is a workflow that I'm pretty excited about now for those of you who don't do any video editing or Photoshop stuff like that I apologize for the nerdy stuff but this thing is just cool I've got my timeline down here and all of my video clips and typically I would have a small screen that I can see my video preview but with this monitor I can have it over there while I go through everything and since this is a 5k display I'm able to watch my 4k content in full resolution so I can kind of see beforehand what you guys see whenever you're watching my videos all right so I need to see if this video is ready to go I'm gonna watch it a bit a big thing and argued a lot and quit no do you hear the speakers I think with LG's 38-inch ultra-wide they introduced these new speakers that sounds really crazy have some deep bass and I think they brought that here over as well because right now hearing the quality a big fan LEDs and RGB lights and all that good stuff like all I've got over here and you can kind of just tell that this thing was built for the MacBook Pro because of the integration into the actual settings of the system so when you go into the display settings you can see that the Mac has settings for the lg monitor as well so you can actually control the brightness right from the setting bar and you can control how the resolution as well that is not something that we typically see with everyday monitors usually you just have a few options but being able to control the brightness and the resolution and all that good stuff right from here is really really nice this thing has like 500 nits of brightness so you can really push it here with no problem now one last cool thing about this monitor is that when you're hooked up to it and you're using it as a display this thing actually charges your MacBook now it is not easy to charge this Mac because it's drawing a lot of energy especially if you're doing something intensive like video editing but I'm charging it with no problem so that's a very very nice bonus you can finish work here and whenever you're taking your MacBook off you can be sure that wherever you're going you're going to have some juice alright guys so today is pretty much wrapped up did a lot of video work and now I'm pretty much in chill mode so I'm going to be using the MacBook to do regular stuff like browse the internet um you know just do everyday things and I think what's different here is how you interact with the touch bar so to take full advantage of the touch bar you got to use an app that supports it right now I'm using Safari as a browser because that's usually where you try out most of the new features whenever Apple comes out with an update unfortunately all the features of the touch bar you won't find on browsers like Google Chrome as you can see right here all of the functions just kind of went away but if I go back to Safari they pop all back up again but what's cool here is that you can switch between tabs by just tapping so you can see all the tabs you can even create new ones just by going like this and then you all lead to Apple of course so there's a feature that a lot of people are starting to like with the touch bar and that's with watching YouTube videos you can kind of scrub through it by simply moving this little cursor around and you can see the red bar moving up and down as I move it around now that's really cool but it doesn't work with every video site so if I were to go on something like let's see go over here go to crunchyroll if i try to watch this video there's no bar so as you can see not everything supports it just yet so I guess that's going to be up to website developers also to go ahead and implement some of these features I'm not sure if Google had a hand in that or if Apple themselves made it so that you can do that with YouTube but that's going to be another thing now of course I spent more than a day with the MacBook Pro by the time you guys see this video and I gotta say I really do love the machine but I got in it Apple does make it a bit harder for those who are investing in this on the professional side of things you do have to use dongles and cables to get your things all hooked up and you know that part of it does suck USB C is going to be more popular soon upcoming days so we're gonna see more devices that work with just that the as of right now that transition period is gonna be a bit rough for most people now in terms of performance this thing is a beast it's fast it's powerful it's gonna do everything you want the only real hiccups I've had has been with the touch bar sometimes having some faults because it's a bit buggy here and there but overall my experience with it has been pretty smooth typing on the keyboard has been super Pleasant the trackpad I'm not crazy about as you can see I did have a lot of clicking issues now I did end up changing my trackpad settings like I said I was used to using the bottom right side but I had to go ahead and change it to the two-finger right-click because that just worked a lot better I didn't have any incidents with that one but it is frustrating that I did have to change the way I was using it and I gotta say the performance is exactly what I expected this thing is a beast it's a powerhouse I'm able to edit 4k footage with nope whatsoever I think it even performed that my iMac and I am really really happy about that because this is not my main editing machine now one thing I gotta say though is that even though they're getting that really awesome performance you're not getting an insane battery life I was actually pretty disappointed using Final Cut Pro and editing for a little bit gave me a few hours but definitely nothing crazy was a regular use you're gonna get more hours out of this but I would not expect that ten-hour battery life that you see on the site but like I said guys I'm really enjoying the new MacBook that thing is powerful it's got new features it sucks that you have to use adapters so if you're planning on picking one up I say it's definitely worth it but if the download life kind of scares you you can wait a bit till more things come out on the market and that about wraps it up to this video guys hopefully you enjoyed it until the next one that's your average consumer pace
