[@charlesbussieres-hamel3828]

I'm looking for that video or an article, I was about to buy this 1700$ (with 16gb ram) but now I'm actually wondering if the base model with 256gb and 16gb ram would also be a good option. It would save me a few hundred bucks!

[@vlonebored]

They should stop offering that 128gb model now in 2019. I mean phones these days are offering that as their base

[@TheshBuilds]

It’s very possible to survive with 128GB only, especially if you’re streaming your music and store most of your photos and videos on google photos or iCloud. Additionally, there's a thunderbolt 3 port for any external storage requirements.

[@evancrazyerror]

Most other laptops come with 128GB standard so I don’t see it as much of a deal. I’d be happy if the base was 256 but I have a Microsoft surface and I’m surviving on 128 GB

[@juaneduardovitoria]

I replaced my 1TB HDD with a 128 GB SSD and I manage to use them with some files, programs and few games like CSGO or Minecraft, but I'm looking forward to a caddy to put my HDD back in to store more files

Rim. I think the touch bar base model of 2018 has a better value if you have a good offer, its almost the same processor 8 generation intel four cores, but you have 4 thunderbolt 3 ports and the hey siri function. If you look the Geekbench its almost the same, but only if you can get the same price at this model.

The 2018 13-inch entry-level model has a single thread score of 4520 and a multi-core result of 16629. so there's a substantial gain at the same price-point.

The single core score beating last gen isn't surprising - it would be running in single core boost clocks the whole time. The base clock applies to a full load on all cores, in which case the higher aggregate performance of all four cores would still beat the previous gen.

SSD upgrade prices have also come down yesterday, and that was what inflated the 15 inches prices the most. However it is true, unless you have a very demanding workflow like Editing RAW footage or over 4k, or perhaps doing some extra 3d animation, i think these new 13 inch with some added storage, RAM are the Sweetspot now. Add a good monitor and an eGPU and you have a versatile mobile/desk setup

Hi Jon, I don't understand why you, together with all other KZbinrs, have been hyping about "the cheapest macbook pro" being good. Your video compares the newest 2019 MBP i5 with 2017 MBP i5. How is this a valid comparison when the 2017 MBP i5 is running on dual-core while the 2019 is already on quad-core? If anything, this should be compared to the 2018 MBP i5, when i5 was quad-core. The bench and performance of the 2019 MBP isn't surprising news, the only surprising news is that you weren't aware that 2018 MBP i5 was already on quad-core, and already amazingly fast as compared to 2017 MBP.

I needed this video like a week ago. Spent a few days researching for my next computer and basically came up with the same conclusion. YOU COULD HAVE SAVED ME SO MANY HOURS!! 😁

[@adrianpamintuan7420]

i have a question: would this new computer be faster than my current MacBook Pro? the one i have right now is the 2016 MacBook Pro 2.0 GHz Intel i5 Dual Core without touchbar. is it worth the upgrade as well?

[@itsmatteomanf]

I would say definitely faster than yours, way faster. More than double the performance. It's 25% faster than my Late 2016 max spec 15" 4-core. It costs almost a quarter of mine.

[@adrianpamintuan7420]

Ice Distroyer oh, alright. thank you for the insight! i’ll take it into consideration :)

[@adrianpamintuan7420]

Matteo Manfredi yeah, performance should be a nice upgrade. i’ll take a look!

[@Mamo878]

Wait a bit and see what they do with the new and improved keyboard with scissor switches.

[@MicSolace]

Hey look, a positive video on the Macbook this month :O

[@rushabhodedara4961]

Thanks for this amazing and really detailed video!!!! 😁😁

[@11neski]

8gb ram o 16gb ram for normal use I'm not going to do video/photo editing. For new MacBook Pro 2019 Investment for 5 years

[@tushar8998]

8 gb enough for sure. Using an 8 gb one for 2 years. Works well even with Garageband.

[@lrodzen]

I love my 2019 13" MacBook Pro (base model). Love at first sight!!

[@AhsanZafar]

man apple nailed it this time

[@nickd7935]

Ahsan Zafar Channel only took them an entire year after the rest of the industry moved to quad core. It’s actually a machine that can do “pro” tasks without screaming for mercy. Now onto the extra year of waiting for their keyboards to be good again.

[@FCPXTOUR]

Great and honest test, as always.

I'm so lost now... I thought the T2 chip was only for security.

[@thetechoasis2179]

it is, i have no idea what this guy is talking about

[@__zo__]

Love your vids !!

[@evancrazyerror]

T2 sounds great but a lot of people are having T2 issues and crashes (there’s a 1000 page forum on macrumours on it and a popular KZbin zoneoftech has T2 crashes daily). I don’t Apple Pay or edit video, so I’d rather have no T2 than one, but I can see how a coprocessor like T2 can bring the benefits of arm and apples chip division and the benefits x86 and using legacy apps.

[@boyangyu7257]

It used to be an issue but it's been fixed for a while via software updates.

[@evancrazyerror]

Boyang Yu a lot of people still have the issue, and the update was only for the 2018 MacBook Pro 15”. Every other Mac in apples line has the T2 chip just for comparison

[@boyangyu7257]

evandarkfire I have the 2018 13 inch. I had the problem for like 2 weeks and was fixed via software. Can’t speak for others but hope they fix that soon.

[@samuelmurillo2244]

@@evancrazyerror Nah, Macrumors is trashy. I haven't had any T2 security chip issues with my 2018 MBP.

[@evancrazyerror]

samuel murillo but the thing is macrumours is a site for Apple fanboys. If they say Apple does something wrong you know it’s serious. And T2 crashes only really happen if you use thunderbolt accessories. If you don’t use an eGPU or a thunderbolt ssd or something of the sorts the chances of a crash is very low. Also a lot of people get T2 crashes without even knowing. Symptoms of one would be your system locking up and your fans spinning up to 100%. Then a reboot with a log that says “Bridge OS” (what links the intel CPU and the arm cpu together) caused the panic.

[@man-bagdammit2297]

Love how Jonathan keeps it real! Good job! Not everyone needs the latest and greatest in speed to suit their daily needs.

[@QuarioQuario54321]

Can you edit 8K video on the mid-2012 13-inch?

[@c430]

🤣

[@QuarioQuario54321]

Chrono . I don’t. Is it yes or no?

[@admash6988]

No way

[@Faded.Visuals]

QuarioQuario54321 dude, at most you can do 1080p! But that’s after updating the ram and swap out a HDD with a SDD. Besides, why are you editing 8K video? Hardly anything can display it natively, but also if you’re recording 8K video, which I assume you dropped a ton of money on a RedEpic or An Arri what the heck are you using a 2012 MacBook? At least you should be using the new iMac or fully spec out 2019 MacBook Pro 😂

[@christianfruhauf6223]

Good review, mate, you are excellent, calme and give a lot of explanations! Thanks a lot!

[@skatcat743]

T2 is strictly there for stopping 3rd party repair & upgrade

[@Smorfar]

skatcat743 Oh so it doesn’t make things faster like shown in the video?

[@mflotron]

@@Smorfar It does make things faster. It accelerates H.265/HEVC encoding pretty significantly.

[@petersoneugene4383]

The desk setup behind is dope. No video about it yet
