Well then folks the brand new macbook pro is here with the brand new m1 pro and the m1 max
inside and today i'm going to simply be doing an unboxing of a macbook pro 14 inch with an
m1 pro inside it what is identical to the m1 max and how it looks well let's get started
Hi guys it's Matt here, so that's right we've got the brand new macbook pro 14 inch here and this
is an m1 pro inside it the m1 max is completely identical to this well let's first of all let's
have a look at the box so as you can see here i do have a second camera set up so i'm just
going to show you here that basically it's just a normal traditional macbook pro box was white as
you can see i've got many other macbook pros on order coming to do more further reviews for you
guys very very shortly but this is the first one i thought i'd get hold off and do a review of but
first thing i'd like to point out straight away so it's got this kind of plasticky feel on it again
it's quite unusual from apple because apple made a big point saying that they weren't going to be
using kind of plastics anymore really going into the future i know they're on a carbon-free journey
but you know to put it on their iphones and they're not on their macbook pros they
did the same with their ipads as well it's a bit unusual but as you can see here you have
got the lovely picture of the new macbook pro right here we have the apple logo on the side
and then we've got macbook pro written here as well and then we've got another apple
logo and on the back we actually have the specs serial number and everything else like that so
what i'm going to first of all do is pull this here this little tassel here
and just open that up the plastic to get inside it apple do make this easier with their plastic
i will say that all that lovely feeling of peeling off the plastic for the first time
is awesome i'm just going to pull that off it's a bit sticky stick it to one side and then this
is the moment of truth guys if i got this the right way around okay what i'm going to do is i'm
going to lift it very very very slowly so let's see ready lift the lid it's quite a thick box
nice and airtight on voila that's the inside the box just there for the lid
but we can see here the brand new macbook pro i'm actually going to put the lid just there
and you've got like a little paper thing here and that is good now this is sitting the macbook pro
i've got it in my hands it's sitting kind of in a paper material wow this feels heavy straight
away i'm going to tell you that now compared to the 13 inch macbook pro with the m1 chips
on that side this is definitely heavier i can tell you that let's just put that to one side
and see what else we've got here so having a look at more into the box we've got this little piece
of cardboard here with some information and bits and pieces should we see what we've got inside so
we see we've got those legendary stickers inside so we've got some instructions in how to use the
macbook pro right here and i'll just open that for you there just to show you so you can see that
and how to use it with different ports and everything we've got kind of your
energy sort of saving bits and pieces here usual kind of stuff more of it and oh wow look at that
apple black stickers we've got black stickers this is a first this is probably because of the
pro line they like to have it black like this but look at that i have never seen black stickers i've
only seen the white ones and then the you did have the color ones with the new uh imac that came out
earlier in 2021 but never black ones that is a first and let's have a look see what else we've
got in here i think that's just is it just a bit of card yep i'm gonna put that to one side let's
have a look then what's inside the actual box here a bit more so we actually have the new charging
system here so this one here we have the kind of the uk plug because i'm here based in the uk
and then what else do we have here we actually have the main charger as well i'm dropping it
back into the box but there we go in standard so if you've got a macbook pro uh since beyond 2016
or even any macbook since beyond 2016 you'll know it runs on usb-c so it's a very similar kind of
charger to that so in fact i'm actually going to take it out of this again it's all paper based i
am ripping the paper here so in the old days you had it plastic it was easier to take it out of
but there we go um there we go it's in the kind of this is the usual kind of plug there
and then the same here because i'm in britain we've got the weird free pin plug sort of system
so there we go i'm just going to connect that on for you guys clicks on nicely there's our
power let's see what else we've got in here so at the bottom let's remove those bits of paper
out of here for just for now at the bottom of this box what we also have got is the new cable
and you won't believe it guys now if you can see this i'll just show you a little bit more closer
it's actually a braided cable that is an absolute first for an actual apple charger on a macbook
i have never seen a braided version before so i'm just going to see if i can get this out now
without breaking it or ripping it too badly we've got a magsafe connection it's good to have that
back again i'm so happy apple brought back the mag save and then at the other end we do have a usbc
and i'm just going to try and get this out this is much more difficult than
before i'm trying to do it carefully here so let's just see if i can uncouple this here
nope i can't uncouple it there i'll try in a minute in a second but there we go you've got
the basically the braided kind of cable it's in a kind of a white color there's no kind of tinge to
it like what they did with the imax it's just basically a white cable i'm going to put that
to one side and let's have a look at the main attraction now so here we are the main thing this
is the macbook pro so here we go i'm going to undo the piece of paper at the bottom it's a bit sticky
and look at that i don't know if you can see that it says macbook pro and it's indented
into the actual body that is awesome as a first they've never done that before
so let me just undo this here with the paper and wow i'm gonna get it out there we go
look at the feet there there we go that is the bottom of the macbook pro these feet are much
bigger than they have been before and this feels much more solid as well let's just turn this
around to you guys there we go this is the space gray version of the macbook pro as you can see
we have the apple logo and this actually when i'm holding it this reminds me of like the older kind
of um sort of 2006 um macbook pros what they had and before that they actually had those power max
inside them those macbook pros the bigger ones the um 15-inch ones then back in those days
before they started doing the unibody design this actually feels a bit like that it's quite strange
in that respect but awesome it looks absolutely amazing let's have a look at the ports on the side
so first of all you can see here we do have the new magsafe then we have the usbc i'm correct and
then another usbc these are thunderbolt 4 usb 4 ports and then next to that we actually have the
headphone port and that's in a different location for the first time and i'm just going to flick
this round now let's have a look at the other side we have a hdmi on this side now we have a usbc and
then next to that we have that new sd card slot as well it's finally been put back in so glad to
get hdmi and the sd card and also not forgetting the magsafe usb so it's really good to have it out
it feels really nice it's a good weight guys it's definitely because it's heavier than the 13 inch i
know you could say it's a 14 inch but it feels quite a bit more heavier as it feels much more
solid as well the um last macbook pros were felt a little bit more flimsy than that and definitely a
bit more thicker in that respect so the moment of truth let's open up the screen next of all
and voila oh we're booting and i'm going to take away this piece of paper we're booting
up i'm sorry guys it's booty guy but this is stuck on it they put like a sticky label and i
can't actually get it off where we go can you see the apple logo oh and look at that we're
straight in so let's have a look at this first of all then for the first time got the hello
there on the screen and different languages and everything so again i'm trying to get the sort
of light bouncing against the screen here on this camera but as you can see we've got the notch at
the top here just in comparison there's my thumb over the top of it there you can see the kind of
size sort of difference we have and then on the actual keyboards have a look at that
can you see there's a lovely black keyboard at the bottom good to get these function buttons again so
the touch bar is completely dead it's gone so it's really good we've also got a touch id button here
speakers on the side the actual track pad at the bottom what's probably about the same size
as the last generation it looks like the main lens oh got the actual voice going off here
um because i haven't been touching it but yeah that is looks absolutely amazing and the screen
as you can see is super crystal clear in this mini led display i'm just going to show you here
the thickness of the size can you see how thick that is there it is super thin this macbook pro
so it is absolutely unbelievable and my first impressions i'm going to tell you right now guys
i absolutely love this design straight away it is gorgeous i am really really in love with it
so yeah i'm going to do a bit more fiddling around i'm going to get this set up and i'm gonna see how
