hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and the other day Apple announced the 16
inch MacBook Pro and I was able to get my hands on one at the local Apple store
and this is one of the higher-end spec ones so it's completely maxed out with
the exception of the storage which I have at 2 terabytes of storage and then
it also has 32 gigs of ram instead of the maxed out 64 it comes in at about
$3,899.00 now let's go ahead and take a look at the box and you'll see the boxes
basically the same as we've seen before if we flip it over here you can see the
specs on the back it says 16 inch 3072 by 1920 2.4 gigahertz 8 core I 9 with 16
megabytes of shared l3 cache 32 gigabytes of RAM 2 terabytes SSD and the
Radeon Pro 5500 M with 8 gigabytes of gddr5 630 and it should be pretty good
for the price so let's go ahead and open it up here
now the 16-inch is a replacement for the 15-inch MacBook Pro this is actually a
2007 version that was maxed out as far as its specs so we'll compare some of
this in a little bit let's go ahead and see what's in the box
and here's the MacBook Pro it definitely looks a little bit bigger to me and it
is a little bit bigger and then in the box we've got our literature here so
we've got MacBook Pro welcome to your MacBook Pro a little bit of information
about the touch bar and things like that and we also get Space Gray stickers if
we ordered it with Space Gray you can get it in silver as well but now we have
the Space Gray stickers we'll move this aside and this is a new power adapter
let's see if we can take this out here there we go so this is a new power
adapter that's the same size and this is a kind of a paper it's the same size as
we had before but it's a 96 watt power supply so it should charge the battery a
little bit faster I'll set that aside and then we've got our USB seat charging
cable so this works just like any of the others so I'll set this all aside and
we'll take a look at the macbook itself
so here's the Space Gray MacBook Pro and let's go ahead and take the wrapper off
it's definitely heavier than the previous generation let me show you
side-by-side so you'll see it's a little bit wider and then let's move it this
way here it's a little bit deeper and then also it's a little bit thicker and
I don't know if you can see that edge let me bring them together here and
there's actually a thickness difference it's about almost a millimeter and
there's a slight weight difference but you can see the difference in size right
here so it's definitely a little bit bigger but honestly I've said for years
I don't mind if it's bigger if it does the job now we still have
the Thunderbolt ports on the side along with the headphone jack and we have two
Thunderbolt ports on the other side as well so the design has not changed much
and I've often said that no one was really complaining about the size and
weight of the 2015 MacBook Pro and so I'm not really concerned about this one
but you'll see we'll open it up here take off this piece of paper here and it
turns on by itself it's booting up now I'll go ahead and set this up now this
is a 16 inch display diagonally so it's a little bit bigger you have thinner
bezels and I'll show you that more in a moment but let's go ahead and set this
up now because I have everything saved in iCloud I really don't need to restore
much I'll just download everything I need such as Final Cut onto this device
it's asking me if I want to enable Siri so I'll go ahead and say yes now I do
use iCloud photos and the library and all of those things so I'll continue and
leave those on and then I'll set up touch ID now it's asking me if I want to
use light mode or dark mode I'll put it on auto and then I'll hit continue then
you can see the display without true tome I normally turn true tone off when
I'm using it to edit videos and things so that I get the actual look of what
ish it's what it will look like on most people's displays we'll wait for it to
set up the Mac and then we'll be able to use it now we're into Mac OS Catalina
and there's going to be some updates and things like that so I'll get all of that
done but let's talk about this keyboard because this is probably the thing that
most people are interested in Apple has finally listened to all of our feedback
and really adjusted everything on this MacBook for the pros so it has an
improved keyboard with a millimeter of travel so you'll see it moves much more
than before and I'll show you next to the old keyboard now the keyboards both
look great but the new keyboard has a lot more travel it's it's hard to convey
how much better this is it also has an escape key now where the old one does
not the trackpad is about the same size but the new MacBook Pro is about a
millimeter thicker than the old one so there's definitely a difference there
now to give you a comparison if you've ever used a keyboard from the iMac pro
these keys are very similar to that as far as travel and
everything else so they're very very similar in in the way they feel and we
now have our inverted T for the arrow keys it's just a much better MacBook now
while I'm waiting for the install of this update it's about four point seven
three gigabytes so it's gonna take a while but this particular MacBook has a
variable refresh rate display so if we go back to displays here we can adjust
the refresh rate so we can turn off true tone and turn off automatically adjust
brightness but you can also change the refresh rate from forty seven point nine
five Hertz to 48 to 52 59.94 and sixty so you have all of these different
options as well now another thing to know is this has the largest battery
allowable by law to put on an airplane when you want to travel so it has a 100
watt hour battery so anything above that you can't bring it on a plane so apples
brought it right to the limit and you'll be able to fly with this and that will
give you about an hour more battery than the previous generation MacBook Pro and
then you'll be able to maybe get a little bit more battery if you're trying
to edit a video when you're on the go or things like that now I'm going to get
all of this set up and once it's done I'll come back and then maybe we'll
compare it with the 2017 MacBook Pro some specs and see how it does as far as
exporting video because that's really what I'm going to use it for but we'll
see how it does with a couple other things I'll try out the keyboard a
little more and then we'll see how it goes now I have just a few final updates
to install and this has been really nice to use a new keyboard and the keyboard
but this is just so much nicer when you go back to it it reminds me of using a
2015 or 2013 style MacBook Pro and it's definitely better to use so if I say hi
how are you today you'll hear that it's not very loud so it has a pleasant sound
to it it's not a loud clicky keyboard and it's definitely a welcome change so
I thought we'd run some benchmarks after using this for a little bit it's really
nice to use I did hear the fans spin up a little bit and that's okay with me as
long as it keeps everything nice and cool and running
at full speed so let me bring in to the 2017 MacBook Pro and we'll do some
benchmarks and see how they actually compare just a few benchmarks and then a
Final Cut Pro export test now you can see I have both math books side by side
I have the new 2019 sixteen inch matte book and the 2017 15 inch MacBook now
the displays are noticeably different in size but I noticed that the 2017
actually pushes down a little bit further if you want to push it away from
you it's not a big deal but it's just something I noticed and also the screen
brightness is basically identical so if I turn the screen brightness up here all
the way we'll do the same here I've got the screen brightness all the way up on
both the only difference you see in color is because of true tone otherwise
I'll probably turn that off a little bit later but it's just something to know
and I just have these configured a little bit differently now let's go
ahead and run some synthetic benchmarks so I have Geekbench five open we'll go
ahead and run this I've moved these apart a little bit just so we get air
flow from the middle into the MacBook Pro if they need to and then we'll go
ahead and run Geekbench five and see how they compare now you might be able to
hear that right now that's actually the sound of the MacBook Pro fans and the
fans are definitely louder on the new one and that's okay as long as it stays
nice and cool as you can see if I bring an ISTAT menu here I'll bring it up on
both we've got the CPU pretty pegged so it's doing pretty well and keeping
things nice and cool now I've finished running the first CPU test and you may
be able to hear the fans over me speaking on the new MacBook Pro but
single core is very similar 998 verse 9 75 but multi-core is much higher six
thousand seven hundred and thirty four verse three thousand eight hundred and
eighty now let's go ahead and run metal now metal completed and it's a dramatic
difference on the old MacBook Pro we have thirteen thousand five hundred and
twenty two on the new MacBook Pro we have twenty nine thousand one hundred
and thirty eight so it's doing more than double the processing power as far as
the new MacBook Pro is concerned now let's go ahead and try Cinebench and
both have completed and the fans are still going strong on the new
MacBook Pro but the score is almost double or 3172 verse 1702 so there's
definitely a big bump up in performance with the new MacBook Pro now finally
let's do an export test of Final Cut Pro now for the final test I thought I'd
export some 4k video now I tried this on my iMac pro so I'll compare it with that
in just a moment but I'm going to delete all of the generated media files
optimized media and then I'll just export it I have the actual project on
each one of their own Drive so let's see how this goes I'll delete the files and
then I'll share them and then we'll go ahead and hit save and hit start and
let's see how long this takes
now both have completed and I think the results were pretty impressive for the
new MacBook Pro in fact the iMac pro was even slower but none of it was rendered
in the background had the iMac Pro actually had been rendering a while I
was editing it would have made a very big difference I think but the new
MacBook Pro is definitely impressive as far as that goes
and finally the fans have spun down now I do have one more test to run the final
test is a disk speed test and the new MacBook Pro that I have has a 2 terabyte
drive whereas the 20:17 has a 1 terabyte and you'll see the speeds are very
impressive the right speeds have gone up to over a thousand faster on the newer
MacBook Pro where the read speeds are about 600 to 700 megabytes faster so you
can see them running in the background here and it continues to run but either
way they're very impressive results now something all new that Apple's added to
this MacBook is studio microphones they're kind of in this upper left area
and right now I'm recording audio from my overhead microphone that I have it's
a studio mic but let's hear what the MacBook sounds like so right now I'm
actually speaking through the MacBook and you tell me how it sounds I'm not
really sure how it sounds right now I can't imagine it sounds as good as the
overhead mic but let me switch back to the overhead mic now and now you can
hear the difference so hopefully that gives you an idea of what the sound is
like and hopefully it's something we can use while we're on the go so it's maybe
in place of a mic we forgot or something like that now there's new speakers as
well there's six speakers total and there's two woofers on each side and
then a tweeter on each side and the woofers are glued back-to-back and they
cancel out the vibration of one another so they do vibrate but it cancels that
out and gives it a cleaner sound and let's take a listen and then I'll
describe the sound to you as well
they have a really even sound to them it sounds very much like a home pod so if
you've ever heard a home pod it's along those lines with less pronounced bass
since the speakers are actually smaller but it sounds really clean now I'm
really excited to have a MacBook Pro this fast while I'm on the go hopefully
it will have pretty good battery life although it's down to 25% but I
installed some updates that all of those benchmark tests so that's actually
pretty impressive the overall design is great I'm glad to have the Escape key
back I'm not crazy about the touch bar but it's there and some people like it
some don't it's fine for me and I love to have the fingerprint sensor as well
I'm glad to have this keyboard and the keyboard is really nice to type on it's
much better than the previous one even though I didn't really mind the previous
one so that's it for the 2019 MacBook Pro I'm really anxious to get using this
regularly I'll be using it sometimes at home attached to an e GPU with a Vegas
64 card in it and other times when I'm on the dough but let me know your
thoughts about it in the comments below if you haven't subscribed already though
