what's going on guys to drive which consumer and today we're gonna be spending a real day in the life with the 2018 MacBook Pro and for those of you who've never seen one of my real day-in-the-life videos you're pretty much gonna spend the day with me and the MacBook Pro while we test out different things like the battery life performance all that good stuff and this is the i9 model so let's see how that goes all right guys so right here we've got the 2018 macbook pro now this is the maxed out version so I'm talking I 9 32 gigs of RAM 4 terabytes of storage the bells and whistles y'all so we're gonna unbox this thing first and take a look at it now personally guys I'm pretty excited for this I've been editing on a MacBook Pro for I think maybe like almost two years now I only recently stopped editing on it when we got the iMac Pro so this is something that's very exciting to me because when I'm on the go I might be able to start using my red cameras and have no issues in terms of editing on this guy I'm hoping so we're gonna see and I just want to put it out there I did see Dave two these video about the i9 MacBook Pros so I am a little concerned but I'm going to put it through its paces in the real world I know I know how benchmarks and numbers work but I want to see how it actually impacts me on a day-to-day basis for the things that I do with it and yeah looks like a MacBook Pro ok so this has the butterfly 3 keyboard so this is the latest version of the new keyboard with these butterfly keyboards I feel like some people either love it or hate it for me it's it took some getting used to but this one definitely feels a bit different so when they say it's quieter it definitely is oh yeah that's much quieter alright guys so we're actually new house right now as you can see where it got a lot of stuff going on it's under construction but I did want to get some product shots of this new router system that I'm gonna be putting in here it's one of the first things that I'm putting inside of here so I want to get some footage of that with this camera I got to see 200 right here so we're gonna be transferring all of the footage that we shoot over to the MacBook Pro over here this is 4k raw raw light but we're gonna see if it can handle that with no problem now this is Final Cut Pro I'm gonna see how mine handle is working with raw footage hopefully it's not too bad I want to see how it performs in the real world it sucks that the benchmarks and everything that it's doing so far in day's video don't look too good so I'm a little worried but we'll see how it actually does once I get all this stuff transferred over so took a little break it is a super nice day outside I just been typing on some emails and alright so for the butterfly keyboard it definitely does take some getting used to but for the third iteration of it I do like how silent it is like it's not something that's going to change your overall experience it doesn't feel any better typing on it but it is quieter which is pretty much what they're going for so is it comfortable that all depends on your level of experience with it but I can appreciate the subtle change alright so I'm still outside decided to wait a little bit watch some anime cuz I got some food come in so I'm just shown for a little bit one thing though that I noticed is that the screen looks great Mac books always look good in IMAX the screens are always nice looking it gets plenty bright for using outside but something that's new with this Mac Book is that it's got that true tone feature so right here outside it's pretty warm sun's out looks pretty good but if we go inside where I have a much cooler light you'll see that it's gonna make a little shift so let's actually go test that out and for those of you who don't know what true tone is basically the screen will adjust to make the colors seem more consistent depending on your situation so in a really warm room like this just eyeball testing it I have an idea of what this looks like the screen is a bit on the warmer side if I take true tone off it looks much much cooler so it's got a little bit more blue compared to that orangey look when it's a much warmer and if I go to a room that is a lot cooler you'll see the difference so now we're in a much cooler room you guys can see the lights up there these are a lot cooler and honestly it looks the same to me even though I am in a much cooler room now if I take off true tone in here it got a little bit bluer but not as much as what I saw in the other room that's actually really cool is one of those features that I always take off on my iPhone I don't really like true tone on my iPhone but for here I feel like I feel like I'd leave it on the MacBook and just to hit you guys with a bit of a battery update this one's a little bit different not like using my phone for a real day in the life because there are some programs here that are way more intensive than others like final cut right now but just to give you guys an idea of the kind of battery life that I saw today we're at 66% I would say I've been using this thing for like an hour and a half maybe and with using Final Cut Pro testing out a couple of different things you know that definitely does hit the battery quite a bit but you know I also was watching some anime like I said and just some regular web browsing as well so you know if you're gonna be using programs like Final Cut or Adobe whatever it may be anything that's going to really be taxing on the computer you can expect to have to plug this guy in ok guys so right now I am doing a short little edit of the unboxing that we did earlier just some quick shots that I just wanted to snap together kind of see how the MacBook Pro handles that and just by the looks of it it you know scrubbing through pretty quickly as doing it with no problem I will say though guys after editing on the I'm Pro for a bit I absolutely miss editing on a Macbook because the touch bar on Final Cut Pro is amazing the tool that you get here where you can just kind of chop certain pieces away the touch bar I think people need to love it or hate it I personally love it I think it offers some good flexibility you get to do more things than you could with just a regular the regular buttons that are there so I really like to touch bar and especially in Final Cut Pro or forget about it I love it Apple if you are listening please make a make a keyboard with the touch bar built into it a separate keyboard that we could use on the iMac or any other MacBook oh god that would be so amazing please alright guys so it is finally time I fired a Final Cut Pro I've got a 4 minute and 12 second for my timeline so we're gonna see how long it takes to render this out and export it so I got my little stopwatch over here and just so you guys can know what the CPU frequency is right now is showing 1.37 okay so now that it's rendering let's see it's at two point nine two point nine five two point eight eight alright guys so I just finished rendering out the project took 11 minutes and six seconds to render out and the CPU frequency jumped around quite a bit you can kind of see the usage right here so it's kind of got this little it's a little spiky not anything super drastic but this is it right here this is when it started to render out the project now I'm going to export it and see how long that takes alright so it just finished the export in 2 minutes and 15 seconds and I gotta say guys oh wow set three point eight seven right now that's random but I gotta say that was very consistently staying at two point nine it did dip ever so slightly a couple of times but for the most part it stayed very close to that and a two-minute export for a four-minute video that's not that's not too bad now I do want to just compare it to what I'm typically used to so I want to see what that's like with my older MacBook okay so this looks rather sporadic just like this guy was so we'll just see how long it takes okay guys so it is officially the same time that the render finished here so 1106 we have 56% rendered for this older macbook pro 56% so already this thing is almost twice as fast so that's a you know good sign for this but it also makes me feel like this isn't the best comparison so I I think instead of using a 2016 i7 we need to get our hands on the 2018 so yeah go ahead alright guys day 2 now over here we've got the i7 I went and picked it up and we of course have our I line from yesterday and we're going to do a render comparison probably start them up at the same time just so you guys know the base clock speed on the i7 is 2.6 and this is of course 2.9 so it looks like they're neck-and-neck 13% 14% 14 14 and in terms of the CPU frequency mmm this one they're both pretty sporadic to be honest if you're looking at this right here you can see they're spiking quite a bit so something that I am seeing on the i7 you we've definitely got lower temperatures here we're in the 70s for Celsius and the i9 is still running around the 90s so low 90s mid 70s on this guy so I 9 definitely runs a bit more hot so the i9 is done and the i7 is at 92% 93 now okay so that's it looks like the i9 finished 50 seconds faster than the i7 and the i9 did run quite a bit more hot it was between 15 20 to 15 degrees in different Celsius so it was hotter of course but it didn't throttle it enough to make this seem super comparable they seemed to come out the gates pretty close and then the i9 still was able to pull away so that was pretty much my day and then some with the MacBook Pro and this MacBook is largely the same laptop we've been seeing for the past couple of years but with some changes more so under the hood the overall design is the same and the keyboard has been upgraded to be a bit more quiet and protect from dust entering underneath and one of the additions that I like with the new MacBook Pro that I didn't really get a chance to talk about during the real day-in-the-life is the addition of Siri well at least being able to call out to Syria by just saying hey Siri so right from your laptop you can call out to her and have her answer questions pull up websites and even open folders which i think is a really cool feature now we've gotta get sweat everyone's talking about and that's the performance is throttling present on the i9 version yes it is now I've done a bunch of tests with the i9 MacBook and it beat every other MacBook that I put it up against but when I took a page out of my boy Dave's book and put it in the freezer I did get even more performance out of it so that does prove he is impacting the performance mildly enough I did the same thing with the i7 version of the MacBook by putting it in the freezer and got similar improvements to my results so that leads me to believe that whatever we're seeing happen with heat isn't exclusive to the i9 processes now I don't say this to say all 2018 Mac books have brought owing issues but more so to say that the i9 isn't acting any differently than the i7 does in all situations that I've tested so far so throughout all of my tests the i9 and the i7 behaved very similarly the only difference was that we did see better performance from the i9 but it also ran quite a bit hotter now does that mean I think the i9 version is worth the extra $300 and for this question I felt like I had to take a step back because I am a content creator who works with large 4k raw files and I had to take a step back and kind of think about who's purchasing this if I had to help a cousin or a friend make a decision who wants a high spec MacBook but isn't planning to work on crazy projects like some of the stuff that I work on or maybe some kind of engineer then I would tell them go with the i7 because honestly with everyday tasks you're really not gonna see the difference between the two and at that point you could just save your money and get some accessories or something I do think it kind of sucks that we won't get the maximum benefit out of the i9 in our MacBooks but if you really do like mac books you like the style or maybe you exclusively use Final Cut Pro like I do I do think that it is going to be the best MacBook that you can possibly purchase to get those kind of things out of it if you don't mind shelling out 300 bucks for it for my job I personally would go with the i-9 but that's not something I widely recommend to everyone if you're not doing demanding tasks it's not what you need but that about wraps it up for this video guys hopefully my little bit of insight can shed some light on these new laptops but if you enjoyed this video be the cool guy or girl that gives it a thumbs up and I'll catch you guys in the next one so then it's your average consumer pace
