[channeljemal]

Hahahah, you was high in the video.

[ritanao2]

[ledzeppelin725]

[Tovkal]

Don't make the war. Review Apple laptops.

[Mjhisel]

THank you for all you do for our country!!!

[NelsonPena17]

Hey man nice videos, I have a question, what's the difference from a late 2008 15 inch MacBook Pro to a late 2009 15 inch MacBook Pro?

This will really help me a lot, thanks

[JSantana319]

@NelsonPena17 There are a few differences. Battery life, SD card slot, better looking display with more vivid colors and it doesn't have a latch to open the battery, so it's sealed and you need to open the entire bottom which has around 10-12 screws that you need to remove. The Battery life is claimed to have up to 1,000 recharge cycles. Hope this helps you out :)

[gmaster45612374]

Thanks for what you do for our country. I have a brother in the Military. He is a SGT in the us army

[AK107]

[paedar12]

Hi,

I got the mid 09 Macbook pro 2.8GHZ, 4GBRam 500GB HD. When i play World of Warcraft with the 9400M the computer does not overheat & fans run at 4000RPM, game runs smooth. When its on 9600M GT fans go crazy 6000RPM the temps go up also to around 75 degrees Celcius. Is this normal?

You said that when you played Far Cry 2 that it did not overheat it was normal temp?

Can someone pls help

[XxMissingDataxX]

Hey Soldier,

I Just purchase the new Macbook pro 15" 320Hdd 2.66 ghz,4gb ddr3 ram with the SD on side of the macbook i just pick it up the other day,from what i seen on the WWDC2009 apple Conf. they said that the new build in battery gives you up to 7 hours of computer use i think i only get up to 4 maybe 5 hours of use with low setting set to better battery life. should i call apple and have to look at it or ask for another machine?

thanks

[ashbash9746]

yeah, u shld call

[comedynerdynerds]

Dude, dont call. 5 hours is still alot!

[zolo4]

dont call, they mean 7 hours of battery life without internet, at lowest brightness, and you are probably surfing the web with wifi, so the battery gets zapped faster.

[InternLackey]

Helpful Video thanks! Whats your Army mos?

[anshulapatil]

Mac books will have a big presence in India, we now have some good student offers

[201justin201]

i just got my macbook pro the middle model......it doesn't run as cool as i thought it was goin to....the trackpad is amazing, except for not clicking at the top.....the keyboard is amazing i love the backlit part of it, much easier to see.....the speakers get a little distorded when u turn the volume up......boot camp runs real hot :{.....i cant notice a dif between the two graphics card......

[terry947]

what specs did u get on your macbook pro?

[halofreak11789]

awesome vid bro

[superbrar]

r u a real soldier? That's so cool!

[2old4thatsuXx]

@superbrar yeah he get discounts but theres one bad thing..he can come home with 1 arm :P

[crazyasian300]

Question. I have a MacBook Pro now, I plan on upgrading to the MacBook or MacBook Pro. Which one should I get? I don't do any heavy work on my current MacBook Pro, I use all the heavy work and games on the gaming computer I built (Q6600 3.0 ghz and GTX 280 OC). So, I'm deciding to get the MacBook and the LED Monitor or just the MacBook Pro? Do you think the 9400M is good enough for light work?

Thanks

[johnisironman]

Don't upgrade!

[liam04uk]

If you don't really do anything to intensive then i would just get the macbook. Get the pro if you need the graphics card to be honest. However do take into consideration that the next version of Mac OSX will make use of the idle processors in your graphics card to increase computer performance so you may want the pro anyway.

[w0rldcitiz3n]

SoldierKnowsBest, do you play the America's Army 2.8? If yes, could you please make a review on that.

Thank you for the reviews.

[EliteSoldier112]

I can't wait for the new one to come out. I used to play hardcore with =WFC= on America's Army. I quit from then on but will be playing again once it comes out.

[DBCarmody]

i have had the new macbook pro for 2 days now, my battery only lasts 2 hrs

[cduce2411]

Yes, what adamnik said. Also, don't expect to run the time the manufacturer says the battery runs for. You might get close, but some companies bend the truth a bit.

[Uglydoll007]

Cool review.

I agree, I like my new MacBook Pro too. :D

My old one (a 1.5 year Santa Rosa) broke down, so I had to buy this one. Damn... I LOVE IT!!!

BTW The 17" version is out!

[Lachlanbrodie]

Hey guys I'm looking into buying the new macbook pro with

2.53GHz

Intel Core 2 Duo

15-inch widescreen

4GB Memory

320GB hard drive1

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M + 9600M GT with 512MB

And i was just wondering how well it would run fallout 3 and Empire total war and if running these games would require a 2.8ghz upgrade any help would be greatly appreciated

[fizzo20]

Nahh dude, 2.53GHz is super powerful, It'll definitely do the job!

[driftnut56]

hey man, can you show us how to take the battery cap off the mac book pro. I couldn't figure it out at bestbuy.

[CompHelperKid]

there's a latch nearby on it (back)...lift it then the cover comes off. Finally you should see the battery which you can pull out!

[didieneditor]

why lot of soldier review this mac!!!

[zeninstincts]

Get any new games to test on it? Great review btw.

[wumbobabo]

new mbp? I got the new 2.0 GHz MacBook and I can run doom 4, CoD 4, americasarmy operations all at over 30 FPS

mbp is only better

[zeninstincts]

Nice, does cod waw get similar framerates to cod 4?

[Spuce2]

i jus bought my macbook pro the same one you have and the screen wont show any picture it was working for the first 15 min i was using it and then the screen went blank ...its jus black i cant see any pictures and i dont know what to do im gettin upset i havent had for 6 hours and i have a problem

[mongoos150]

Nice review. Also you have pretty much perfect teeth :-o

[mongoos150]

They don't. They review Apple products.

[marquosch]

hey great review...

have you tested the speakers yet??i mean for a long time

if you have please tell me if they consume a lot of battery life....because im the kind of person whos always with music while i work,

so do the speakers consume a lot of battery life?

[ajtimothy]

nice review.. very comprehensive thanks.

[kreigerness951]

thanks for the review...best one i've seen yet for the macbook pro

[badqual]

make it short

[pafalzon]

NICE!!

[BOOSTED102]

I never knew u can run Windows on a Mac!!! That cool!!!!

[ryanracca]

I have a question...

Can you get an anti-glare screen protector(sticker or the like) for this laptop?

[atownkid33]

yeah they're made by power support, the same company that make anti-glare screen shields for the iphone

[ryanracca]

oh, I'll get one of those when I buy my new mac:))

[ryanracca]

Hey bro, what's the specs of your new and awesome MacBook Pro?

If it was mentioned in the video, I'm sorry:)) I don't have enough time to watch the whole video this day:-j :| :((

[dinasaur2]

What are you going to do with your old Macbook Pro?

[merc4ever88]

hey man, nice videos! i subscribed already. Can you put crysis or far cry 2 on the new one. Do you know how to overclock the graphic card? cos u knw how it is underclock. thanks

[kockgunner]

Nice to see you break the stereotype that people in the army are unintelligent :). They are people too!

[EliteSoldier112]

C'mon.. Unintelligent?? That's just messed up. They are brave souls going into war for our country.. No "idiot" would do that.. Am I right?

[kockgunner]

Wow, the internet is really a bad method of communicating. My comment was meant to be a complement. Also, unintelligent is a real word ;)

[bengaliblaze]

great review...now im gna get one =)

[CITGProductions]

i like heat. :( unless if its too hot. :O

[beta1258]

Hey!! I'm just sayin' what the difference between the Macbook and the Macbook Pro other than specs and size. They both look the same . Apple should drop the "PRO" title or rename all the macs with the "PRO" title. I'm just sayin'.

[theunits3]

Hi everyone, i've got a few Apple related videos that may be of interest to some. Check them out, also have a giveaway running :D

[BandOnTheRun87]

which is the better deal for the buck the new macbooks or the older ones?

[bacnka]

thank you mr army man

[blahs360]

you can adjust that track pad feat by goin to setting and goto track pad so u dont have to press down on it anymore but i love my new mac book. apple u did it again

[PhrostCope]

Thanks for serving our country and us youtubers!

[PaoXeR]

Black, White, Yellow or red it doesen't matter, stop the racism for crying out loud!

BTW. Good video as usual :)

[cshcrazy]

Are you going to believe this nigger because he is on the army?

he is an idiot he is going to get killed

[agentshep23]

I would rather listen to him than a red neck, chicken fucking, cousin marrying mullet having loser like you! BTW if ur going to bitch about someone, at least get your grammar right moron. He's IN the Army not ON the Army!!! lol @ cshcrazy. Idiot

[cshcrazy]

By the way you sound you must be a nigger too.

And i am not a redneck...

I am not even white.

[MagicMan135]

Right. You're a dick.

[Sabiano]

We don't believe him cuz he's IN the army, we believe him cuz he seems to have a good amount of knowledge and experience with this sort of thing. If he's a negro he's a negro...doesn't mean he knows less does it?...idiot...It's 2008 fucker! The slave era is over(...Thank god), so don't be so fucking 19th Century retarded!

[cshcrazy]

FUCK YOU IS THE INTERNET

[Sabiano]

huh?

[ryanracca]

yeah, and a Negro(black) President was just elected:))

oh, and I'm black... like the black eminems...

crap, that was corny >_>

[xtommy2377x]

hey fuck you cshcrazy! ur a fucking loser, go fuck yourself blah blah.....what its the internet

[cshcrazy]

Hey i am practicing my 1st amendment... and you cant do fuck about it.

[xtommy2377x]

so am I

[EliteSoldier112]

Werd

[Marthaluvsmac2]

Great video!

[Dp2kthreee]

I had purchased a MacBook Pro 3 months before the new MacBook Pro's were released. It was kind of disappointing that Apple didn't release more information about their new laptops.

[linkinpain]

they dont "release" any info about new product. you just gotta check macrumors and see the buyers guide.

[CarlyUTube]

I want one but I will wait. I brought my ipod touch when it first came out and in less then a year they have a better one for less money. So, I will wait a while to buy this new macbook. I see a price drop in it's future.

[Sikskillz84]

Is it worth the wait for the 17 inch MBP?

[crazyasian300]

hey, could you give an exact fps on far cry 2?

[alx4567]

Nice Macbook Pro! I got my Macbook in June and now the new comes out. Im kind of pissed. But its ok =(. Nice computer though. CONGRATS!!!!

[atomdragon4]

Peace noob

[Oneking2]

SNB; Do you think the 17" will get the refirb also or do you think it goes away?

[IMPMAC]

its so good, and two GPUs! Is it possible to run both at the same time?? that will be cool

[crazyasian300]

Nvidia talked about that. It is called Hybrid SLI. It is possible, but Apple needs to update and develop drivers to support it.

[Alyangula]

great video, cheers soldier

[bloodydata]

Great review, my only remaining question is, can the 9600M GPU be used in boot camp?

[SoldierKnowsBest]

Yes it can.

[jackmitchell123]

i like how you always wear your suit! its very dignified

[steamburn123]

One thing that bothers me is the usb ports. instead of having some ports on right side but now every port is on the other side which i don't like about. because sometimes i like to use mouse for some occasion and i usually connect to right side, but now i have to attatch the mouse usb cable around the macbook pro if i buy one. thumbs down. (but other spec is good :))

[R4d1anc3]

Hey Mr.Soldier

please post a video showcasing far cry 2's performance on that beastly machine.

[fjdiazb]

Hey SoldierKnowsBest a quick question

Do you think I'll be able to run the newest games on the top of the line iMac.

Because I don't know whats better for gaming a MBP or an iMac.

What should I get ??

Thanks

[finestspark7]

imac is much better for games, an added bonus is it wont get as hot or take damage from that.

[techdeckin2day]

the latest MBP's have the better graphics and performance as compared to the iMacs now, maybe soon they will upgrade the iMacs proccessors and video cards and all that

[BandOnTheRun87]

how is this compared to the macbook?

[wuseldusel86]

faster, bigger, more expensive.

[Thsiscool]

i'll get one of apples notebooks when i hav a real job...lol...nice review!!!

[anthonym2121]

yeah glossy is wayyyy better

[pillow135]

Great review...I got my macbook pro on wednesday and am really enjoying it though. I did have a question though. What would you recommend as the best solution for cleaning finger prints off the aluminum casing? I heard some people will use iKlear, but I was just wondering what you did to keep the aluminum casing looking its best.

[Cocoa316]

what is the MAIN dff between the macbook and PRO. I have a macbook ( white). I JUST bought it right before the new book came out. thx if you have a video about it let me knw.

[manolosavi]

the macbook pro has more hdd capacity, more procesor, larger screen, better graphics, has firewire 800 (new macbook don't) , has ExpressCard/34 slot (macbooks don't) , basicly that's it ;D if you have more questions feel free to PM me!

[daivenluo]

wow nothing wrong with it. So your saying this is a perfect laptop???

[Punkdoggy800]

pretty much

[SoldierKnowsBest]

The only thing I didn't like that I forgot to mention in the video is that it only has two USB ports.

[johnthecarman]

Really? thats a bit of a let down i have to say. Especially on a pro device. I'll be sticking with my 17" MBP for the moment. Maybe Santa will bring me one?

[atomdragon4]

Wow...That sucks...my shitty laptop has 3...not THAT much more but for a laptop that isn't made for multimedia is very good.

[JazzeRae360]

why don't u try to become a partner

[JazzeRae360]

scratch the last comment

[Destroyer185]

Far Cry 2 is pretty awesome I just got done playing it 10 min ago. Great review cant wait to get one.

[AppStoreReviewer]

[iThinkApple]

[dapro911]

[09AUTUMNUS22]

Good shit, soldier.  I only have the Macbook, but i love it. Man, how the hell do afford all of these things while you're in the military? What rank are you?

[rashad123us]

No high quality option?

[theroden]

[ERH1000]

[tarumous]

First to watch.

First to rate.

First to comment.

Great video as usual SoldierKnowsBest.

Why don't you try playing games on it and upload the videos like with the last MBP you had before?

[SgtDuty]

Actually, second to watch, rate and comment. But his videos are good I can agree on that.

[SgtDuty]

Nice video.
