I'm torn on this. On one hand I've been using 11" Airs since 2011 and have been waiting for a Retina model for a while but this just doesn't cut it for me. It's absolutely a sexy laptop but I do work on my Air all the time like video editing, Photoshop and capturing video. Having to carry around a USB-C adapter and USB hub just to have two USB ports to plug in a card reader and scratch drive defeats the purpose of a thin laptop for me. The Core M is a killer fanless CPU but it's still a downgrade in power from the current Air. I REALLY wanted to like this but it's just not for me. Time to move to the 13" MacBook Pro.

[@nishanthreddykogilathota9300]

Having 2 or at least one USB 3.0 port(s) would have made it tough to ignore but for now it'll end up more bulky with those attachments. The second generation will be the one to watch out for if they manage to add the USB ports. Its quite obvious that it'll be more powerful anyway!

[@nishanthreddykogilathota9300]

*****​ if all Storage media came with USB C ports, adding USB C Ports would be the thing to do. What I'm saying is they should just add a port or two and make it more convenient to use. Using adapters to use adapters is just outright crazy! 

[@AnthonyLamanna11]

What they should have done is make it a touchscreen with a detachable keyboard (like the Microsoft surface) have it run iOS when I'm tablet mode and Mac OS when docked. Dubbed the iPad pro .. And the just add retina to the MBA line

[@TLD]

I feel ya bro haha

[@DannyMcmonagle94]

The beauty of it is lost the moment you have to use it. Typical apple at it again trying to get away with selling less for more.

[@TLD]

Apple just dropped it's new 12-inch MacBook but as sexy as it is, it's an odd machine. *Here are 10 things to know before buying!*

[@TLD]

ELIE Hobeika performance/feature wise yes

[@MichaelShin1]

dude you're always promising this virtual high five to my face but i never see it

[@jorgeasalas]

Basically apple just launched a "macbook air" woth retina display

[@AwkwardArsic]

Great video! You definitely persuaded me into not jumping the gun and buying one of these. It looks so sexy, but the performance, USB C port, and crappy camera aren't worth it for me. Do you ever sell your old macbook pros whenever you upgrade? I bought a 2009 Macbook Pro on Craigslist and it's been doing well but I feel like it's time to upgrade. I don't know if I'd be willing to shell out full retail price on a new Pro, how much do you think a used 2014 model should run for online? I'm so out of the loop. Lol

[@bobbyjunk2433]

Loved it..! 😊

[@DetroitBORG]

Everything you need to know right here! I'm torn on this one, for the most part it does what I need a laptop to do, but it's an expensive fashion accessory when you can get a 13" MBPr for around the same price. Or you could just rock an iPad Air with a keyboard....which gets you a touchscreen and a 720p camera ;)

[@DougDtech]

not worth it

[@mitchellquartero]

I would rather get the MacBook air

[@SandorWalkup]

I have a MacBook Air and I'm still getting one.

[@NA-du5vm]

^^😒

[@MittchielMcClendon]

Interesting upgrade of MacBook line of laptops. For those who were used to these accessories that you could buy and add to eitber a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air. This brings on a big change. Having only one connection for the whole device.

[@TbonesTech]

I am a photographer and I was thinking about buying this to use when im on location because of its portability but then I realized its going to require big annoyiing addapters or like 20 steps just to import the footage off my 6D.... its pretty much a toy looks good tho lol

[@cpmc5400]

Macbook Pro is for you.

[@TbonesTech]

Conor McFadden Thats what I have a 15" RMBP

[@spot6873]

***** why buy a downgrade when you have an pro?? Sorry bad English.

[@TbonesTech]

Nicklas Jensen Skaar my 15 inch is not portable at all and can be a pain when shooting on the go

[@TbonesTech]

***** The 1366 by 768 display hurts my eyes cant handle it

[@Ph3nomen0N]

7:20 I don't want to complain too much, but you virtual hi-five really hurt my face...

[@TLD]

sorry bro

[@Ang3lik4Sway]

Lol

[@mauflores1443]

You're the first guy I see on KZbin that's it's not hypnotized by how thin it is, and adoring the gold color. You actually talk about the advantages and disadvantages that this computer has, congrats body.

[@fatmike371]

The Macbook is such a down grade... The Macbook Air easily out performs the Macbook and the Air gives you those Ports back and the glowing Apple logo. I see no reason to buy this other than the Retina screen and color choices but you can always just buy a black case protector for the air and an external screen.

[@MeisterYodarkus]

Probably the only reason would be portability, but the Air is really great at that already. Or maybe no noise due to the fanless design, but that is only an issue for very few people. I see the MacBook more as a design study to show what is possible in thinness and weight. Exept for the single port which is a hassle for many people this machine will be awesome in a couple of years once fanless CPUs get faster.

[@fatmike371]

MeisterYodarkus I think Apple just went that unnecessary route of what they could do with tech now a days... In my opinion it's too early for something this crazy and thin.

[@MeisterYodarkus]

fatmike371 It maybe is a bit too early. As it maybe was the first Macbook Air. It was slow, had only few ports and it was super expensive. Look at the Macbook Air today. It is fairly priced (for a Mac), has enough ports for most people and is fast enough. I am really looking forward to seeing what comes in the next couple of years from laptops like this.

[@SamBorgman]

Or a keyboard case for your iPad.

[@SwiftHDX]

There's no downgrading. It's a completely new product line. Although it does seem to be more futureproof than many think. Everyone went crazy when Apple took out the CD-ROM from their laptops but now most other companies have followed in their footsteps. It's going to be the same thing with ports. People use cloud storage and wireless sharing already, why not make the inevitable come sooner? The Air is still there for those living in today's world, but the MacBook definitely looks at computing a good 5 years in the future.

[@willosaurr]

I wish people would stop complaining about the MacBook only having one port. For the people that this is designed for it doesn't matter. The average consumer doesn't have a use for external drives and monitors, but if they do, there are a range of wireless alternatives available that do the job perfectly for their occasional use (iCloud, AirDrop, Airplay) . If you're like me and need to use monitors, endless peripherals and accessories to get shit done; this machine obviously isn't for you. Get a MacBook Pro. But I mean seriously, I don't think I've used a memory stick since 2010. Putting my mini rant aside, great video as always Jon.

[@EpicSeedz]

What if you wanted to plug in an apple mouse and charge it at the same time? You can't. The one port is a bloody stupid idea.

[@willosaurr]

EpicSeedz I don't see that as being a big issue considering most people have wireless mice now. The only people I see hanging onto their wired peripherals are gamers, and we all know Macs aren't exactly known for their gaming community. I see your point however. Right now we are still very much wired in; not having the ability to plug in two things at once will be a hassle. But this will just make people more interested in the possibilities of the cloud and wireless alternatives, which looking at the way Apple are marketing this is exactly what they have in mind. Lots of people seem to think they're trying to make you buy their overpriced adapters, but really I think they're trying to force you into subscribing to iCloud. It's certainly the smarter business move in the long run.

[@SomeGuyWhoHasAnUnoriginalName]

Willosaur Because wireless mice don't need a usb port, right? OH WAIT THEY DO.

[@leonardthomas3472]

SomeGuyWhoHasAnUnoriginalName Actually they don't , They actually have bluetooth Mice that connects without a dongle

[@ArijitGhosh]

Very informative and amazing video, man! I'm overall disappointed by the new Macbook though.

[@TLD]

Thanks! and yeah it's an odd product haha.

[@vaibhavawasthy8770]

Saw it, but not sure I like the concept of sacrificing Changer, USB ports, general mouse, or just about anything, just to get a slim laptop or notebook and it still costs like an arm or a leg. But we're really not the target audience so can't say much. Love the display though.

[@ArijitGhosh]

Vaibhav Awasthy ​agreed. Not for us. I wonder who could make use of this though. It's beautiful and all with a gorgeous display but I don't think it's worth the price tag.

[@vaibhavawasthy8770]

Yeah plus we need audio and video editing from time to time. It won't be able to handle that, the cost is the biggest con, but still after saying all that I would love to have that display. It's a real shame that the didn't considered an average consumer's budget while making this.

[@jblim83]

Arijit Ghosh I'm guessing lawyers, doctors (not used for work, but during downtime), bankers... Basically professions that pay a lot and are not tech related.

[@thesahilk]

Love the new design, features and the colors. Will definitely buy it when it reaches the MacBook Pro

[@TLD]

Definitely!

[@TheTornadoWind]

LoL funny to see how your hair looked 3 years ago 😂

[@popsicles4fun]

What ports does it have? I only saw the one charging port on the one side, idk whats on the other.

[@alexringrose6153]

It has 2 ports usb c and headphone jack the usb c port is also for charging so you'll need an adapter to use normal usb and sd!😊

[@DvdV1972]

What I never understand is why people like to talk so much about products they do not like and will not buy. I would never waste my time to write comments about products I dislike and I always have the feeling that those people have to convince themselves that the products they bought are actually better. What the hell, if those people have nothing else to do and no valuable time to spend they have the right to waste their time... - I waited for the 12" for quite a while. I was always torn between the Air 11" and 13". Now this is the perfect middle ground. I always liked light Laptops so this is around the weight of the iPad 1 and that is great. - The keyboard looks quite good and it is nice to type on the same size as on my iMac - I will miss the MagSafe and I wonder why the kicked this great thing. Maybe it is too light to be easily pulled of? Still this a minus. - I use my Air just when I am outside of my office. I use a program that is not available for iOS so I need a laptop. I also think that a keyboard and a mouse are needed for excel sheets with complicated formulas so using an iPad is no alternative. The only external things that I really use on my Laptop are USB for charging my iPhone or for syncing my Nike SportWatch (Those days are soon over...). So I really do not need more ports. - The cam is the second little minus but I never use it anyway. When I am in a hotel or on the road I only use Factime with the iPhone or the iPad. Yes in terms of Laptop Power I am a light user and this Laptop seems pretty perfect for me.

[@Qacc6]

Really hate that they discontinued this. A beautiful ultraportable. BTW Jonathan looks really young and trim in 2015.

[@jessa7873]

did anyone notice the "that's what she said joke" on 0:50

[@BigJo305]

You know a lot of people fail to mention that the updated mac book pro retina 13 inch now has 1866 mhz memory. It now has the same memory speed as the mac pro. Which is a great improvement. Why is this being overlooked by all the tech blogs?

[@PeytonMillahhh]

Anyone who buys this will be paying $1300 for a netbook with an Apple logo. And the Apple logo isn't even back-lit!

[@TLD]

people really love that back-lit logo lol

[@91lilfrozone23]

***** I do, if I were to buy this laptop (I won't because I'm a power user and this laptop will never meet my needs) I would have preferred it was 1-2mm or whatever thicker so I could have the back-lit logo lol

[@eggsonyoutube]

I watch MKBHD, unboxing therapy and many more youtube channels based around technology. Out of all these I found your channel recently and absolutelly love your content, humour and quality in your videos. Keep making these man. You have a straight pathway to becoming the most viewed tech related page on youtube. Really enjoying every second of the video! -Egs

[@LizNguyen]

I ordered the gold one, but just saw it in person and it looks so ratchet. Going to exchange for a space gray when I get it lol

[@guyncali2]

The new macbook is an option. They have other computers with ports etc. I just don't get why someone would want a laptop for its "portability" and "lightness" and be upset that it has one port to rule them all. My idea is that the dongle is useful when the need arises, but gets out of the way most of the time. This is, for me anyway, what a laptop should be, especially in this day and age of cloud computing. I tend to like things simplified. On a further note, I would rather have one dongle with multiple connections in one location than multiple wires and plugs sprawled out from both sides of my computer. That's just my honest opinion though. YMMV.

[@devourerofnuggets]

The ultimate $1 300 Facebook machine. Only used by teenage girls at Starbucks to boost their ego.

[@robklaproth8144]

People can say what they will about this machine, but I absolutely love it. It does everything the iPad Pro can't. On the other hand, if you're a graphic designer, you may opt for an iPad Pro.

[@hussainaziz9646]

The air out performs this accessory statement by a lot. This computer is just to show people how much money you've got. Buy a Chanel bag, at lest it has lifetime warranty.

[@ninak6801]

[@rameshvasudevan2176]

The lighting is awesome mate. The reddish tinge is amazing. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

[@yellowman617]

[@ishowyouapple]

This is absolutely perfect for a student. If I want to plug in external devices I use my iMac or MacBook Pro. Who edits video on a MacBook instead of a dedicated desktop machine.

[@AllisonRebekeh]

is apple keeping the macbook 13inch with retina? or are they planing on getting rid of them at some point.

[@AllisonRebekeh]

that makes sense thank you!

[@jeremychiuu]

AllisonRebekeh Apple will not get rid of the macbook air cause having retina display uses more battery. If u want an all day battery life, go for the air but if u want a lot of power, then get the retina macbook pro

[@AllisonRebekeh]

i have the macbook pro and i use it for editing videos.

[@guillaumenouri6903]

They're continuing the 13 inch macbook pro AND are adding the force touch trackpad to it!

[@jeremychiuu]

Even though they didn't mention about the 15 inch pro, i feel that there going to do something real big with it and there not going to mention until probably the next apple event

[@wegotbrent]

I love the "That's What She Said" at 0:49 lol

[@ZachAnderson]

Great video!

[@TLD]

gracias!

[@ameliamart]

***** de nada ;)

[@SERGE_Tech]

you guys realize that adapters can either be thought of as pluging into your pc to make it annoying or plugging into your current mouse or what ever your plugging it into and extending that current length meaning its not the macbook thats getting bulkier but the actual mouse or the actual screen cord or what ever it is you need plugged.

[@aRoamingDuck]

Under power, over priced.... Mobile processor? No USB? No SD card reader? Ok am i seeing this wrong; if this device is meant to be portable, yet you need silly dongles to do anything productive. Dont we have Tablets for Portable media? Or phablets and even regular phones for this kind of stuff? Its like they made a $1300 Netbook with a fully (and even still) under powered processor.... like my Oneplus One has better CPU specs and that things a phone and to top it off it only cost me $350.. Would i consider buying this device ever, or devices like it in the future... No Never. Ill stick with my 2015 xps 13 thank you very much.

[@wilhelmdereroberer7509]

A Thinkpad X250 or T450s is a better investment than this POS.

[@ikantdanz]

Mr Mike Most importantly, the new Dells have Windows 8, which is what I have been suffering through for over a year now, and is why I am switching to a Mac. One of the best selling points for Macs, at least for me, is that it's NOT a Windows machine. Microsoft has probably sold more Macs than Apple's advertising has.

[@ikantdanz]

I just love it when people assume the only possible explanation for someone disagreeing with them is that they're ignorant. Nice try, Mad Mike, but I know how to use a PC. Been doing it for many, many years. And now I'm done. Enjoy Windows 10. I hear it's going to be awesome!

[@ikantdanz]

Mr Mike I never said I didn't know how to run it. I said I don't like it. Big difference. Windows 8 is crap. That is my educated opinion. You disagree. Fine. Use it. Enjoy it. But don't assume that those of us who dislike it just don't know how to use it. Some of us know how to use it very well and STILL hate it.

[@ikantdanz]

Mr Mike Well, in all fairness, it's not everyone's fault you don't know how to use a Mac. :-)

[@GFf-en4md]

Phil Schiller rockin some SERIOUS Dad jeans

[@DarkCloud360]

For me, this is just an iPad Air with a keyboard

[@mcrazza]

Yesterday I wanted to get the new and shiny MacBook despite its bizarre tradeoffs. It's almost 24 hours since its unveiling and I've had second thoughts. Instead I think I might get the 13" rMBP because crucially it has what the new MacBook doesn't, and it works out cheaper (at least in Aussie dollars).

[@masonrogers4694]

I hate the colors... Silver: Too Original. Need something new. Gold: You don't wanna be that guy. Space Gray: Reminds me of piece of shit Windows...

[@sobralius]

really liked that extra shot on 0.50 whit steve carrel...lol

[@RadixTheTroll]

It's nice, but I think Apple made way too many sacrifices for the sake of the device being thin.

[@cactustweeter2890]

Jonathan, please put the new MacBook through some real-world tests. I won't question how awesome the screen is, but I would like to know how well it performs with some heavy tasks. Run a VM on it. Edit some video. Anything else you can think about that will exercise the hardware.

[@BMOCroc]

idk if it it just me but your voice didnt feel like it was coming from the person in the video (which was you)... it feels strange

[@shanebovell6733]

Your title implies that people should still buy this thing. Why you would shepherd your audience to such a terrible, overpriced and valueless product is beyond me.

[@TLD]

People are going to buy this regardless, I'm laying out all the facts.

[@shanebovell6733]

[@tobiasu9944]

Which MacBook is the best for university I think I will by the new MacBook, but um not sure about this.

[@TLD]

right now I'd say the 13 inch pro or 11 inch air

[@killstrees]

13 inch pro or air. Both are going to be much more powerful and the 13 inch air has amazing battery life.

[@tobiasu9944]

How should buy the new macbook?

[@alexanderp1337]

The Macbook Pro is the same price and is a whole lot more powerful. Honestly there is absolutely no reason to pay $1300 for this new Macbook.

[@tobiasu9944]

Alex Poberezhskiy But it's much portable und light. I just want a perfect laptop for university. This means I will not edit movies or something like this. Im a hobby software developer, who will study something like this.

[@roseleathercraftsph]

What youre missing out here is these are proven technology on these macbooks. Proven=reliable=quality=longevity. Live with it. I still use my 7 year old Macpro up until now man

[@bruhwtf2282]

Hey everyone! Apple just dropped the new MacBook, and it broke :( . But now it's .0001 of a nanometer thick! And we raised the price to $3000, and we didn't change the specs at all. You know you want one, so come on to Apple.com so you can get yours. Oh and we have a new deal, buy 2 MacBooks and get an apple with a huge bite mark in it!

[@srirajcha988]

The Yoga 2 is the same price and carries the same processor. You also have the Surface Pro 3 that sits around the same price point. While I understand that It also has a touch screen , it restricts or limits you on how or rather where you can use it ,because of the kick stand. It would have to be used on a flat surface. The Google Pixel is the same price also , and while it has 2 USB-C ports , it's a Chromebook that's bigger thicker and heavier.

[@mrrosslwilliams]

Brilliant summary and information, thanks for sharing. It looks like the USB -> USB-C adapter doesn't even have a pass-through for charging. The other two adapters do, so you can connect "stuff" and charge at the same time.

im upgrading my macbook pro 13" 2010 this year. I wanted to get the retina 15" but since this new one came out im torn!! which one should i get?

[@Amir_Hassan]

What killed it for me is the FaceTime camera. I don't mind having a couple adapters since I only plan on using this laptop for basic stuff and I wanted a Retina screen. Looks like I'll have to settle for a Pro.

[@onePRISMATECH]

Apple should add a retina upgrade option for their current line of macbook airs. They will make tonnes of sales and solve one of the only gripes with the air.

[@punkidization]

Fantastic breakdown, Jon! I think I'll stick to my 13" Air, but I'm thinking about upgrading just to get the new trackpad and the new chips.

Do you guys think these would be good for programming, word processing and photoshop? Or should I look towards the MacBook Pro Retina or the Air?

4k plus retina display = awesome

I'm loving this new machine, it looks super cool! Agreed on space grey, the way to go!

James Wilkinson You don't understand the hardware in this thing at all, do you? You really just see a thin laptop in a cool color.

I'm contemplating on whether to get the Space Gray 12 inch MacBook, or the 13 inch Retina MacBook Pro... Anyone have some input?? Thanks!

[@dylansingewald3403]

Good job!!! I recently bought a macbook pro 13 inch retina, i like it better than the macbook 12.
