Yeah, lol. Not to mention, fingerprint security has been THE standard on premium windows laptops for a while. Windows hello is not secure enough for purchases but fingerprints are. True Face ID would be great, but that’s not what windows hello is.
I am 100% sure this guy is a robot..
LOL he has a loquendo voice
Calm down, it's just scripted, it's not that big of a deal.
he is stiff but it`s intelligence to fit all that information in a less than 7 mins videos ... I`m using a macbook pro 13 inches .. I like the keyboard

AppleInsider I love the current keyboard!
You can edit the settings for the touchbar in the keyboard settings. I've disabled the app specific features, and it's really just like the touchbarless version. If you never use the touchbar for anything else, I recommend doing this. You can configure the settings you want to access there too.
This is my favourite youtube channel. You guys are great at what you do!!
Another very important thing they need to address is the cooling system. Right now it’s not great, but when they update to the 6 core processor and the upgraded GPU it’s gonna be even worse!
Great video. Very even handed. I wonder if Apple will listen to consumers and fix these known issues such as the keyboard and ppl not liking the touch bar, or if they'll be stubborn and arrogant. Those class action lawsuits may help them come around.
I doubt they’ll remove the stupid touch bar. Keyboard maybe they’ll fix bc they are having to foot the bill on lots of repairs.
Rather than remove the Touch Bar, why not improve it and make it indispensable? It has the potential, just hasn’t been fully realized. Having contextual buttons rather than static function keys has already proven to be useful in my eyes. Add haptic feedback, and more novel uses, and I think people will change their minds about it.
What about people liking touch bar?
Before they putted it on they did many surveys if it will be to add it or not. They know what they are doing lol
Really hope they offer a no touchbar option for the 2018 15" MacBook Pros!
Not sure if they would update the design, since they usually update them every 4 years. So, perhaps in 2020?
GBCAwesome they're gonna keep the touchbar sadly. they're gonna remove the "no touch bar" option.
Saltass False, just bought one without touchbad because its fucking stupid
Walter White isn't that the base model? i rly hate the touchbar as well. fuck apple
Walter White that’s the 2017 model and not 2018.
Hey where did you get that tube-like lamp and also the lamp to the left of your desk at the end?
MacBook Pro 2017 without tauchbar buy or wait?
really nice video, im still torn on what is best to upgrade /c
What made you think that the 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro didn’t have a Touch Bar model? That makes no sense whatsoever, of course it did. The 2017 refresh was just a spec bump, not the introduction of a new model.
As for the 2018 keyboard, it will use a new mechanism, one that they’ve had in the works for over a year. It was not inspired by the durability issues, but it is more durable. They could also seal off the keys, it wouldn’t interfere with the mechanism.
what would you say if you had the choice between a base macbook pro and air(both with 16gb ram instead of 8)?
Awesome one-year-after review! Thanks. Thinking of buying this one or waiting some more.
Extremely helpful! I was considering a Macbook Air, but I do plan on doing more digital art and things of the sort, so I think Macbook Pro might be the way to go
This video was so informative and well spoken, great work!
Is a 2017 pro a good choice or will they get a refresh soon ?
Thank you so much for this great review but i still hesitate to buy one of this, is it good to use this macbook pro (the 3.1ghz version) for photoshop/illustrator/indesign i almost need it for graphic design. Thank you in advance for your reponse. Sorry for my english.
I have the 2017 MacBook Pro without touch bar. Had it for a four weeks and now I’m seeing it’s glitching when I watch xfinity on safari. I avoid chrome bc people say it tends to make ur Mac heat up faster. I already have the smc fan control to have the rpm on the fans be faster to prevent it. Some people are saying in system preferences, energy saver, to turn off the automatic graphics switching but I don’t even have that on my model. Not sure what to do exactly
Yep, watching this on my new 2017 a1708 MacBook Pro that I put together for $150. It took a lot of work, a cheap and broken motherboard, and some soldering. This thing is beautiful.
Woa! That was a lot. And here I am scared to buy one on offer up, great condition but will need a new battery and I’m scared lol
i dont know if its cuz of the way he gives his review or his facial expression "dont have the cash? save it" im rolling lol, but this video was hilarious and informative. thanks lol
is it good for video editing (davinci resolve)?
Hi man, I see you ave both laptops which I am thinking of. Which one is better for editing 4k video mac or dell?
How is touchID slower than typing? I find that hard to believe.
Okay so I'm heading to high school soon and I've been thinking of getting my own laptop since my mom said that she'd get me one. I don't know what kind of laptop I should get and if it would last a long time. So should I wait a bit more longer? or should I just get the 13 inch MacBook Pro? Just asking an opinion from you guys.
i want to know how long apple give support to their macbook pro product (OS update or service/sparepart until discontinued)? can it has 5 years lifespan? Because this laptop isnt cheap and not upgradeable
Anyone knows if Apple will be releasing the new macbook pro this year ?
Should I buy a MBpro 2017 right now or keep waiting till fall for the new macbook guys ?
Very informative. Thanks!
If you don't use the touch bar at all you can change it to only display the regular keys, this way you don't have to go through that extra menu.
Stewart Gilligan Griffin but that shit is the reason why it’s hella more expensive
Do you think they will replace the keyboard for 2018???
I have this Mac as well! I love I think it is much better value than the Touch Bar model.
Are u using keyboard cover or screen protector on your macbook? If yes, why? If no, why?
Predictions on the release date of the updated MBP?
late october
AppleInsider Do you know how we can identify what type of SSD is installed on Macbooks?
Watching this on my 2017 13" Macbook Pro.
Did you ever have a flexgate issue?
Got this for my wife recently... Any issues on urs that i should keep an eye?
@@mystupidfacebook Issues with keyboard?
Is their anything you don’t like about he lapto
Is there enough ports to fit the charger, earphones and a mouse?
Hey, the cam shot at 5:40 is incredible. 😯
Vertigo effect
Its called a dolly zoom
a refresh is here !!
which laptop is better 13in or 15in MBP for an artists that uses Photoshop and After Effects
How does the usb c ports hold up? Do they wear and get loose?
For those with the newest 2017 model, can you tell me if you experienced keyboard problems yet? Along with the date you've purchased it
I haven t got any problem with the keyboard yet. I usualy clean it every 2 weeks with a thing to clean glasses (a cloath? I don t know how to write it, sorry). I have bought it in november 2017. The keyboard is still good as it was The first day I used it. Hope this helped
Which one should i get for music producing and college at the samw time?
Nice review! currently using MBP 15 but wanting to switch back to MB 12 because it's lighter, lasts longer and is the only MacBook that doesn't has a cooling fan (and looks super sleek).
Yes, I was thinking the same. I think only matters if you want form over function. I mean the 12in. Macbook is very good for students and college stuff cuz it's so freaking small and the MBP 15 is basically for content creators and heavier duty than MB 12. Let's face it, Apple takes forever to update their CPUS and GPUS.
I almost would have gotten the 12" MacBook instead of the 13", it's a great machine. In the end, I couldn't convince myself paying the *same* price for what is basically a tinier MacBook Air. If the MacBook was, say, 200$ cheaper, I would have sprung for it. Also, size and weight between the too aren't as bad of a difference as they used to be.
The 2016 13" model was available as a touchbar model as well.
so at that price point, we are just getting near perfect? how much then is a perfect device cost.?
Gosh I am still using the 13-inch mid 2012 Macbook Pro watching this video. Hopefully I have the ability to upgrade to the latest Macbook Pro 2018 soon after it is released.
Martin Ong dude my screen developed a flicker of that exact model. I still love my laptop.
I have MacBook Pro mid 2010 model and it’s still going although it’s a bit slow
Heard the keyboards go bad. I want one good for video editing & architecture: hard to get away. Up for any advice.
Touch Bar on 13 inch was available in 2016 when Touch Bar was announced not 2017
Brodderick Rodriguez exactly my thoughts
Exactly
As I'm watching this on my 2016 13" MBP w/Touch Bar I'm like "What did he just say?"
@@Ryan-nq3qp Why are you here then if you have a different MacBook?
What people don’t realize is that the gigantic touchbar of the mbp actually gives you tablet like scrolling. When I am on my mac, I sometimes forget that I am on a laptop and would reach out to the monitor just because I feel like Ikm on touch screen whenever I’m using the track pad. I actually don’t get the hate.
Also, the loss of mag safe makes up for it by allowing you to use a powerbank to charge your macbook pro. I actually like the recent changes to the macbook pros. Though this is probably unique to me as someone upgrading from the mbp 2012. It’s like night and day.
Hey, need your suggestion!!! Which one should I buy. Please help on this..
HP Spectre x360 13” i5 8th gen 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD - $730 (New)
MacBook Pro 13” i5 7th gen, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD (2017 Model) -$840 ( Amazon Renewed)
People are saying MAC is free from virus compared to Windows, as it will easily get affected by virus
There are sharp edges base of trackpad. I injured my thunmb 😕
Hi, I found a used 2017 13” MacBook Pro with 8gb RAM and 256gb SSD and with a Touchbar. The price for it is 1100$ (in Europe), it can be a good buy or not?
how is the battery life on this mbp? thanks :)
Is the 13inch Pro good for editing 4K footage shot on an iPhone 8+?
I have this MacBook Pro. Thinking about selling it and getting the new Air. I am glad they removed the touch bar, but kept the finger sensor. That is the only function i am using with the touch bar. I am also using the brightness function sometimes, but not mutch
What if Apple makes a MacBook SE, and they remodel it after this MacBook, but the only difference is face id and the newer keyboard and price it the same price as the macbook pro 2017 model is going for right now ($549 USD)
Still enjoying my 13-inch Early 2015 Macbook Pro! No need to upgrade
Thats the best macbook ever made
I bought a MacBook Pro 13" 2017 base model about a month ago and I'm getting extremely worried about this keyboard isues. I blow the dust off my mac every time i use it and I try to clean the screen and keyboard with a cloth, will i get any dead keys? What do u guys think?
Great vid btw
Diego Arce Saenz any problems yet?
I was kinda wondering if Apple will ditch the touchbar
The one you are reviewing is it 2.3ghz or 1.4ghz?
when does apple gonna release 2018 mac book pro?
The touchbar can be edited and the touch ID is quick.
today in 2020, it's still worth it. 4k editing is awesome.
What are your specs on it? Considering one for my gf.

@@Jackson-mk3yh Yep, in my case, for programming it's pretty faster and powerfull yet, but if you want to have more support, I recomend to you the M1 MBAir
@@cl.royalm588 is the keyboard issue overblown on the internet or is it rly an issue for me to look out for ? considering to buy this model but everywhere i read it’s all bad reviews
The 2016 13” had a touchbar option too you know. You said it didnt
if your touch bar can unlock with your fingerprint what if someone unlocks your macbook while you’re sleeping with your fingerprint
Hey 👋 apple insider, when I try at apple store, I type at 13 inch base model, typing essay it work the A.
Please help!
I want to buy a MacBook Pro. Should I get a new MBP 2017 256gb non touchbar or apple refurbished MBP 2017 256gb with touchbar?
If I go for refurbished MBP17 model then next consideration is should I put in extra $200 to get refurbished MBP 2018 256Gb quad core model?
Thank you so much for your help!
I'm a student and I currently have the early 2014 MacBook Air and it's been great but it's definitely time for an upgrade. I'm super conflicted about which MacBook Pro to get. I really like the 2018 base model due to the extra ports, storage, and spec upgrades. But I'm also drawn towards the 2017 base model because it's $500 cheaper and well I'm a student lol my current Air is a 128gb and I still have around 40gb free since I keep most memory heavy things on iCloud and not directly download onto the hard drive. What would you guys recommend I get, the 2017 base model or the 2018 base model. I typically use my computer for student things; essays, videos, textbooks etc. I technically can afford either but what do y'all think is the better deal for someone who would be using the computer like I would be? Thanks in advance guys!!!!
Wait until next month's Apple event around the middle of September. They may release a new budget MacBook with better performance. That's what you'll want to buy.
Can you change the SSD in the Macbook Pro 2017 13?
I assume Apple will probably wait for the next hardware update in a few years to throw in faceID right?
I got the mix 2017 13 inch MacBook Pro with function keys and I love it :) the keyboard issue isn’t affecting me yet, hopefully it doesn’t happen before I get my next laptop...
I think the best thing about Touch ID is fast user switching, but since I’m the only user and I have my Apple Watch unlock enabled, I don’t really need it at all.
Hi! Issues with the keyboard now? I want to buy it but I´m not sure for the butterfly keyboard
loved that vertigo effect tho
The integrated graph (20% more for mac) is not really a thing to be proud of. since the xps has a nvidia gtx 1050 (ti) in it.
I just want the need for type c dongles to go away. They should give us atleast one USB 3.0 port and an hdmi out inbuilt
I know there is a major difference between USBC and thunderbolt three. Is there a thunderbolt 3 to SD Card reader?
Dani Alexandria u could try getting a thunderbolt to usb a to sd card reader? :p
Is it still available in stores?
I am enjoying my macbook pro 2012 15inch with all ports including dvd drive
I had a 2018 Dell Precision provided by my employer. The trackpad on that dell laptop was complete garbage. I literally couldn't use it without getting frustrated. The curser jumps, almost all the time, and it drove me nuts. Other than the trackpad, that dell was build almost as good as this MacBook Pro.
On my MacBook keep getting panic attacks and restart problems
How does this compare to surface pro
Awesome video brother..
does this macbook have automatic switching graphics??
3:42 that's something that windows 10 can also do with precision drivers, there is not need to press the right click button to right click.
Exactly what I thought. That being said, it’s sad that only some laptops used Windows precision driver (although double click to right click doesn’t need precision driver).
And yet Windows and MacBook touch pads are light years apart. I have a SurfaceBook, a Thinkpad X260 and a MacBook. The latter is the only one that doesn't drive me into a heart attack whenever I forget to bring a mouse.
Honestly I don't want go back to Windows after 13 years
"I love the black bezels around it" is the first time I heard a serious reviewer say that with a straight face on a Macbook review.
The problem is that dongles interefere with Wifi connection...
It's not really the price of the dongles that's the problem. It's the sheer inconvenience of always having to carry the necessary dongles with you. It would be far more convenient to make the machine 10mm thicker and include all necessary ports (USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, SD card reader, Magsafe) plus space for a bigger battery. If you need an ultra thin laptop there's always the MacBook or MacBook Air.
Fair review. The lack of ports kills me tough. You are literally left with one port for everything if you are charging the laptop. Plus the lack of a memory card reader... Apple need to give a step back, to then continue forward
Touchbar has been in the 13" since the Touchbar was first released in 2016. lol
It also isn't going anywhere. They'll likely remove the models without the Touchbar in the near future as well as releasing wireless keyboards with Touchbar for desktop Mac users.
link to wallpaper please?
AppleInsider: "If I could go back and save some money for giving u the touch bar, I would do it in a heartbeat."
Me: Losing a quad-core processor too though...
dongle hell is not dongle hell because its hard to find dongles. Its dongle hell because your surrounded with clunky cables, that can easily be lost, and are just downright annoying.
i have a 13 quad core 2017 , and i feel good with it .
but i have issues cus everybody talking abdut when the keyboard get dust u wont be able to use it or something .
can i get help to avoid this problem ?
Keyboard cover?
i dont know what to do ! it's between a 2017 macbook pro and the 2019 - i personally dont want the touch bar and i dont like the feel of the new 2019 keyboard but then again i don't want to be stuck with a 2017 keyboard that doesn't work properly in a year! Help!
I have mbp 2017 13inch no TB, for almost 3 yrs, keyboard works fine.
Does the 2017 macbook pro still have keyboard issues or did apple fix them?
only 2018
Do you know what the razer blade is
It was hard to get a touch at version, but I went with 2018 MBP 13 in with 8th Gen processor, I got to say I love it so far and got it $300 cheaper
As far as dongles go, I'm not too concerned about carrying a lot of dongles. It's something that would improve down the line. I've experienced troubles like this with FireWire all those years ago, (400 vs 800, adapters, good cables, etc.), and now at the _very least_ we have really good USB C ports (USB PD, Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, in all ports) in MacBooks Pro, something not all hardware manufacturers can boast. ::SIDE NOTE:: I'm really hopeful for the future of USB C AND Thunderbolt (together), because Apple didn't do well with FireWire before. But I do believe that these very fast connections and tech architecture are vital for future products. Remember the speed on a USB 1.0/USB 2.0 thumb drive (that was by itself, maxed out to 128 MEGABYTES!)?
Also, the trackpad is something that Apple has always been good at. I previously owned the pre-unibody MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2008), and even that trackpad is still something I consider very good, compared with most trackpads on WinPCs that I've used.
The "perfect" macbook pro for me would be the same exact chassy except with the laptop having a motorized camera (like the oppo) and a bezels screen since I do not use the camera at all. I'd be fine with it removed fully.
I just got the air and it's great
