 So earlier this week, Apple announced this thing right here. This is the new 13-inch MacBook Pro. It's not 14 inches like we were maybe hoping, but it does have the new Magic Keyboard, which is very good news, because you can actually type on it. There are two models of this thing, basically. There is the lower-end model with two Thunderbolt ports, and then there is the higher-end model that has four Thunderbolt ports, and it also has the 10th-gen processors, which are the newer processors. And the main difference there that you probably want to pay attention to is graphics performance. But there's a bunch of other stuff to look at with this thing, and so we're obviously gonna do that. I haven't done an unboxing in a while. It's kind of fun. It's all the standard stuff, a cable, some materials, some stickers in there, a charger, this lovely... Not bad. So here it is. And the main things to notice are that it looks exactly like the last MacBook. The differences here, of course, are there is a real Escape key, a real inverted-T arrow key set, and the Magic Keyboard. Physically, we're looking at the same stuff. There's the same three-microphone array. There's the same gigantic Magic Trackpad. It is the exact same 13-point-inch. 13-point-inch? It's the exact same... Hey. How's it going? Okay, so the computer's finally set up. Let's actually talk about this machine. Actually, machines, like I was saying, there's two models of the 2020 MacBook Pro 13-inch. The base model has two Thunderbolt ports instead of four, and it also has Intel's eighth-generation processor, not the newest one. This model is the step-up. It costs $1,799. It has Intel's 10th-gen Core i5 processor. It also has faster RAM. It's 37, 33 megahertz. And it has 16 gigs of that RAM, plus 512 of storage. You could upgrade this up to 32 gigs of RAM and a full four terabytes of storage if you want to, which is a lot for a 13-inch machine. Now, looking at this machine, it looks precisely like a 13-inch MacBook Pro, like what it's looked like for years. And I was mentioning that I was hoping from the rumors for a 14-inch screen, but that's not what we got here. Now, on the 16-inch version of the MacBook Pro, they did manage to reduce the bezels and make the screen a little bit bigger. They also managed to give it better speakers and studio microphones. These speakers and the three-micro-ray here are exactly the same, but they're very good, so I'm really not complaining about it. ["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"] But, you know, the bezels are the same. They're small, but fine. This screen gets up to 500 nits. It has a wide P3 color gamut, and it... It has the same 720p webcam. There it is. So I know I've been saying that this is the exact same MacBook Pro that we've seen for the past, you know, two, three, four years or whatever, but it actually is just a tiny, tiny bit different. So I'm gonna grab my 2017 13-inch MacBook Pro here, and looking at it from the camera, they seem completely identical, right? But there is a little bit of a difference. So I can see right here, I can run my fingernail along, and notice that the 2020 version is just a little bit thicker. I think it's.61 inches versus.59. It's also just a little bit heavier. It's 3.1 pounds instead of like 3.02. And the reason for that extra thickness is what you've been waiting for, the new Magic Keyboard instead of the old Butterfly Keyboard. And I gotta tell ya, it's great. Not only do we have that Escape key and the inverted T's that I mentioned, it also just feels better. Of course, it's more reliable, and it also sounds better. So this is the 2017 version. It sounds terrible. It feels terrible. My N key doesn't work. Ha. And here is the 2020 version. It sounds good. It feels good. I trust that it's not going to break because it's a classic scissor switch. Just a huge upgrade all around. Now, Apple says that they did more than just take their old, old keyboards and slap it into this computer. They say that they've done work to make the entire key cap more stable so that when you push on a corner, it pushes down flatly and evenly instead of having a little wobble to it. I guess I can feel that. And the key travel isn't quite as large as you might be used to from the very old classic MacBooks, but it's still good, and it's way better than the butterfly keyboard. I'm very, very happy that after five years, Apple finally gave up on butterfly keyboards and gave us the scissor switches that we know and love. Now, if all Apple had done was gotten rid of the butterfly keyboard and given us the Magic Keyboard, I probably wouldn't complain. But they also gave us this new processor to test out. It is, again, the 10th generation of Intel's Core series. This is the Core i5. And that's important because it's a little bit faster, and it also might have better longevity because it'll just last longer. And also, it doesn't have Wi-Fi 6 for some reason. I don't know what the deal is there. Wi-Fi performance here is fine. But the bottom line is the biggest deal is that it has better graphics associated with it. It has Intel's Iris Plus graphics, and that could be a really big deal for you depending on your workflow. See, one thing we know about Macs is that some software takes huge advantage of the GPU, stuff like Apple's Final Cut. And other software, not so much, which is Adobe Premiere Pro, which is what we use. So we have a video that we've actually published. It's the Duo hands-on. It's five and a half minutes. It's 4K, H.264. And normally, we do this export off an external SSD, but I can't access it because I'm in home isolation. So this is off the internal SSD. So it's not a perfectly scientific apples-to-apples test, but I do think it's useful. And this 2020 MacBook Pro, the 13-inch, got it done in 11.26. So actually pretty fast, pretty impressive, and pretty good thermals on it. Apple says they didn't significantly change the thermals on it. And we know that in general, MacBook thermals are, you know, they can't quite cool quite as well as Windows machines, but I am more impressed than I expected here. Now, a question I've gotten a lot is, should you get the MacBook Air or the MacBook Pro? It's actually more complicated than that. Should you get the MacBook Air or the base MacBook Pro or this 10th generation Intel processor MacBook Pro? And here's kind of where I land on it. If you just want thin and light, you just want a Mac, you're not worried about power, you would be very happy with the Air. It is a very good default MacBook. If you want a little bit more power, but you're not worried about graphics processing power, you could probably be okay with the base MacBook Pro. If you think you need that GPU though, or you just want the best thing, get the 13-inch MacBook Pro. So far, I'm really impressed with it. You're gonna want to see other benchmarks beyond just our, you know, our one little Premiere export to see if it can actually handle the software that you use, but my hunch is that it's gonna be pretty good. Look, the bottom line here is that the era of the butterfly keyboard and Apple's laptop lineup is finally dead. In the space of six months, they have refreshed all of their laptops to this new magic keyboard. I wish it hadn't taken five years to do it, but I am so glad that they finally have. Oh, the closet's open. Okay. Alex, it wasn't recording that whole time. Life is pain.
 So earlier this week, Apple announced this thing right here.
 This is the new 13-inch MacBook Pro.
 It's not 14 inches like we were maybe hoping,
 but it does have the new Magic Keyboard,
 which is very good news,
 because you can actually type on it.
 There are two models of this thing, basically.
 There is the lower-end model with two Thunderbolt ports,

 But there's a bunch of other stuff to look at with this thing,
 and so we're obviously gonna do that.
 I haven't done an unboxing in a while. It's kind of fun.
 It's all the standard stuff, a cable, some materials,
 some stickers in there, a charger, this lovely...
 Not bad.
 So here it is.
 And the main things to notice
 are that it looks exactly like the last MacBook.
 The differences here, of course, are there is a real Escape key,
 a real inverted-T arrow key set,
 and the Magic Keyboard.
 Physically, we're looking at the same stuff.
 There's the same three-microphone array.
 There's the same gigantic Magic Trackpad.
 It is the exact same 13-point-inch.
 13-point-inch? It's the exact same...
 Hey. How's it going?
 Okay, so the computer's finally set up.
 Let's actually talk about this machine.
 Actually, machines, like I was saying,
 there's two models of the 2020 MacBook Pro 13-inch.
 The base model has two Thunderbolt ports instead of four,
 and it also has Intel's eighth-generation processor,
 not the newest one.
 This model is the step-up. It costs $1,799.
 It has Intel's 10th-gen Core i5 processor.
 It also has faster RAM. It's 37, 33 megahertz.
 And it has 16 gigs of that RAM, plus 512 of storage.
 You could upgrade this up to 32 gigs of RAM
 and a full four terabytes of storage if you want to,
 which is a lot for a 13-inch machine.
 Now, looking at this machine,
 it looks precisely like a 13-inch MacBook Pro,
 like what it's looked like for years.
 And I was mentioning that I was hoping from the rumors
 for a 14-inch screen, but that's not what we got here.

 But, you know, the bezels are the same.
 They're small, but fine.
 This screen gets up to 500 nits.
 It has a wide P3 color gamut, and it...
 It has the same 720p webcam.
 There it is.
 So I know I've been saying that this is the exact same
 MacBook Pro that we've seen for the past,
 you know, two, three, four years or whatever,
 but it actually is just a tiny, tiny bit different.
 So I'm gonna grab my 2017 13-inch MacBook Pro here,
 and looking at it from the camera,
 they seem completely identical, right?
 But there is a little bit of a difference.
 So I can see right here, I can run my fingernail along,
 and notice that the 2020 version
 is just a little bit thicker.
 I think it's.61 inches versus.59.
 It's also just a little bit heavier.
 It's 3.1 pounds instead of like 3.02.

 And I gotta tell ya, it's great.
 Not only do we have that Escape key
 and the inverted T's that I mentioned,
 it also just feels better.
 Of course, it's more reliable, and it also sounds better.
 So this is the 2017 version.
 It sounds terrible.
 It feels terrible.
 My N key doesn't work.
 Ha.
 And here is the 2020 version.
 It sounds good.
 It feels good.
 I trust that it's not going to break
 because it's a classic scissor switch.
 Just a huge upgrade all around.
 Now, Apple says that they did more
 than just take their old, old keyboards
 and slap it into this computer.
 They say that they've done work
 to make the entire key cap more stable
 so that when you push on a corner,
 it pushes down flatly and evenly
 instead of having a little wobble to it.
 I guess I can feel that.
 And the key travel isn't quite as large

 And that's important because it's a little bit faster,
 and it also might have better longevity
 because it'll just last longer.
 And also, it doesn't have Wi-Fi 6 for some reason.
 I don't know what the deal is there.
 Wi-Fi performance here is fine.
 But the bottom line is the biggest deal
 is that it has better graphics associated with it.
 It has Intel's Iris Plus graphics,
 and that could be a really big deal for you
 depending on your workflow.
 See, one thing we know about Macs
 is that some software takes huge advantage of the GPU,
 stuff like Apple's Final Cut.
 And other software, not so much,
 which is Adobe Premiere Pro, which is what we use.
 So we have a video that we've actually published.
 It's the Duo hands-on.
 It's five and a half minutes.
 It's 4K, H.264.

 they have refreshed all of their laptops
 to this new magic keyboard.
 I wish it hadn't taken five years to do it,

 Oh, the closet's open.
 Okay.
 Alex, it wasn't recording that whole time.
 Life is pain.
