MacBooks were harmed during the making of this video
Today I will be testing this 12 inch 1.2GHz 2016 MacBook in real life conditions.
Such as I am going to use Photoshop, I'm going to use Logic, I'm going to use Final Cut,
and then I'm going to play a game I bet you cannot guess which game that is
I call this episode MacBook Bukake
So let me explain what is happening here. I am AirPlaying this MacBook to my Apple TV
and I'm capturing my Apple TV so you can see what I'm doing in that tiny window
Let's begin with Photoshop
I am going to create $1 million logo in less than five minutes.
Yes a milli… actually I don't know how much it costs but it is a fantastic logo
So I shall channel my Phlearn and I shall become Aaron Nace and start this Photoshop tutorial.
There we go. New. 800 to 800 and OK.
I have guides and I'm going to create two layers. Let's go to Layer 1 and create a gradient
And I pick this, I'm going to say reverse
This looks good
Very nice. Look at that! It already looks like a million dollar logo, don't you think?
I think so too.
Now let's go to second one. Now this time turn the reverse off and then create this
Perfect! Now what we need is a gradient mask
And this is good.
You know time is money, we have to be quick!
Wow!
Perfect! I mean I think you know where I'm going with this. It is going to be a fantastic logo.
Uh-huh!
Let's turn fill to zero.
And then blending options, stroke
40? that's good...
White? That's good.
Alright now...
Let's do this.
Wow looks, wow! I'm impressed!
And then this. For this, I'm going to turn off the stroke, I'm going to turn the fill back up
Change the color to white
There you go. Million dollar logo.
And as you can see the MacBook just caught up with me the entire time.
But you may say: "Huh! that's awesome, plus that's an awesome logo but what happens if you want to open a big file?"
Well, let's go to open and let's select a file. Let's say... This it 1.5GB
Let's open that up.
Very good, let's say I want to change this text that says super to fantastic
Let me copy that.
And then let's go to the other layer and just paste
Let's hide the guides
And then hit save
…And! Saved?
And saved! I guess MacBook did fine with the photoshop test. Shall we move on?
Let's switch to Logic!
Now for the second test I'd like to connect my Apogee Duet, which means I'm unplugging the power.
I just plugged in the Apogee Duet now let's go to Logic Pro X
I have a project here that is 96kHz
Now I'm going to record some tracks
For this I'm going to split the screen so you don't have to wait for each instrument.
Let's see how this does.
And the tiny MacBook was fast and drama free while I was mixing the tracks as well.
Now I'm going to bounce
And this also took no time.
Let's move on to Final Cut Pro X
Let's import couple of files and let's just take all of them and drag them here
Very good, this is from 2009. While I was vlogging
And as you can see here is a clip where I got 99 from the ear training class but my friend didn't
and she doesn't take that very kindly
Let's watch that, as you can see I hit play and it is instantly playing
And this is what people usually do to test the performance of MacBook.
But that's not what I want to do. I want to go and open my 2016 MacBook review file
Which is in 4K 30fps and as you can see it is a little hectic.
And I'm just going to go here and hit play
Everything seems really smooth which I'm extremely surprised about.
Let's add something here. I want to add...
this
And then let's trim it
And let's add a voice over
And it sounds like a phone when you plug it into charge.
And that's how this is done, people!
Let's go to levels add compressor and adaptive limiter
(and it sounds like phone when you plug it into charge)
Perfect. And now let's export it and see how long it takes.
Very good. Next.
Save it to the desktop. 1, 2 and 3!
If you have been wondering how much the Air Play was slowing the MacBook down this will be your answer.
It took 26 minutes to compress and export this file.
However when the AirPlay was turned off same file took 11 minutes and 28 seconds to compress and export.
So yes airplay slows the MacBook down a lot.
And if you’re wondering same file took 7 minutes while the airplay turned off
and,9 minutes and 5 seconds while airplay was turned on to compress and export
on 4GHz Core i7 iMac with 32GB of Ram
And the MacBook can easily play the compressed 4K file without any hiccups.
Unlike that 3gb uncompressed 60fps 4K file which is the kryptonite of these MacBooks
And now it is 102.5°
But let's not leave it there.
Let's try something else.
Let's go ahead and delete the generated event files.
And let's just delete everything.
There is obviously a lag
And this lag gets very frustrating when you're editing.
Let's just pick something that looks a little complex. Like here. And hit play.
As you can see it dropped frames but you can still see what is going on and of course this is without
waiting for it to render. Once it renders everything runs smoothly
Now let's play Team Fortress 2!
Remember when I tried to play Team Fortress and all I got was this.
Apparently that was a general problem.
I had the same issue with my 5K iMac.
Now I found a fix and I'm going to play some Team Fortress
Of course for this I turned the AirPlay off. I can’t say playing TF2 on this MacBook was great
But I can’t say it was the worst either.
Frame rate fluctuates but still I was able to play until I was bored with it.
Well thank you very much for watching this episode and I hope you enjoyed it.
