Apple 13-inch MacBook Pro Mid-2009 Review

[ExcitingExsistencexx]

would you recommend installing sims 3(&additional games) onto the the macbook 13inch?

[TheHorrorTastic]

Is every mac user In the world a fucking retard the battery Is User replaceable Think about It can you not unscrew the bottom panel and Replace the fucking battery I mean come on you fucking Dumb asses apple says It Isn't user replaceable so when It's dies you'll pay apple to put In a new one God dam.

[uchihaprime940]

@TheHorrorTastic when you unscrew it you could only swap the ram hard drive the battery is locked there....

[TheHorrorTastic]

@uchihaprime940 Yeah No I can still replace It not that fucking hard have you ever even tried to do It cause Ive changed out 2 of them

[bobbyz23]

The battery can be changed without Apple support . Its really pretty easy to do.

[MikeeyD01]

GAAAAAAH WHENS CHIRSTMAS

I WANT ONE FOR CHRISTMAS

but i think my dad is already getting me one for chirstmas

[themegadrummer]

isn't it to small to play games on and such ?

[648970532]

@themegadrummer you dont buy a macbook pro to play games

[9tee]

You say: "we have a very 'clean' design" ... however... we WANT another USB port ! (Not your fault)

[galacticmaui2]

ha I am watching this video on this computer. 7 hours my ass I can get 4 hours if all I am doing is safari 2 hours for final cut if air port is off

[ines1said]

its not very small r8 ???

[ines1said]

@truetifa 999£ ??? euh ??? its $1199.

[bunnathchan]

Hi my macbook pro is 2.53GHz . is it fast or slow ?

[Bunfire123]

@bunnathchan Thats pretty fast!

[mrti3]

Very nice review. Very clear, understandable, professional language.

[gpfitz11]

can you get it with 500gb??

[jas876p]

i love apple macbook pro im soo happy i got it

[MrRedskins0021]

ipad1 replaced by ipad2 in less than a year and ipad3 is coming out on November. Mac sucks balls cause they keep screwing they customers so bad.

[slickvibez16]

LOL the ad was windows/pc related :P

[davomrmac]

@slickvibez16 :)

[Jiafan0]

See the new iphone 4 in white in my channel ;) in HD !!!! and many other videos

[MrRedskins0021]

@Jiafan0 Might as well wait for the iphone 5 coming out in November.

[pacman101102]

two things. Will the Pro tell you if you need a new battery soon? and how much does the New Battery Service cost?

[davomrmac]

@pacman101102 It won't tell you, but you will notice short battery life. I think it costs around £100-120.

[pacman101102]

two things. what is RAM? and can you "right-click" for a little menu or something like on windows computers?

[davomrmac]

@pacman101102 RAM is the memory, and yes you can right click or control click for a contextual menu.

[04Ulquiorra1]

@pacman101102 RAM is Random Access Memory.Basically, thats where alot of your speed comes from. That and processing power.

[desenagrator]

@pacman101102 Random Access Memory.

[TheQuakerVideo]

@pacman101102 to right click, u hit the touch pad with two fingers its beast

[lowrider692]

great design

[313SUMO]

can you watch dvds in it or no

[davomrmac]

@313SUMO yes you can.

[redlightning18]

Does it get really hot?

[davomrmac]

@redlightning18 No not really.

[themagicb]

YOU SOUND LIKE THE GECO FROM GEICO!!!!!!!

[davomrmac]

@themagicb thank you ;)

[sumgurl902]

I would like to get me a new apple mac book, but i don't know which one is better, pro, normal, or the air?? also would be good if i knew which one is lightest and which one is the heaviest. the pro looks good but i dont like the idea of the integrated battery.

[davomrmac]

@sumgurl902 The Air is the lightest. They all have integrated battery. What will you be using it for,

[sumgurl902]

@davomrmac I guess University work and social networking but still need one with a big memory because i love downloading music and movies so yeah. I checked out the air one, it is the lightest but it looks like from its first fall and that it, its gone (fragile)

[davomrmac]

@sumgurl902 All will not survive a big fall. You say big memory, when this means hard drive space... all of them you can open up and put a large hard drive in very easily. I would go for the white MacBook, but wait a few weeks as it might be updated soon.

[sumgurl902]

@davomrmac great thank you so much for your help. :) I guess i might go with the whits macbook too :)

[xxxselosaxxx]

i also Got one....

[davomrmac]

@xxxselosaxxx Brilliant, do you like it?

[preshanths]

i got one

[davomrmac]

@preshanths Congratz

[PandaThermal]

@davomrmac So Mac last longer and It doesn't break easily as alienware is that what you were saying by "stable". Is Macbook good on games? cuz i heard that it is only good for performance like going to work or something. I want to know if its good at gaming and performace. THNZ FOR RESPONSE

[davomrmac]

@PandaThermal Mac is not as good for selection of games as PC. Stable means that I think the OS has less issues.

[TheMichael1342]

does it have hdmi?

[davomrmac]

@TheMichael1342 No, but a cheap £20 adapter adds it.

[PandaThermal]

@davomrmac

Can you tell me why mac?

[davomrmac]

@PandaThermal Better hardware, more reliable, stable OS, longevity, superb customer service, great community.

[doomtomb3]

@davomrmac Better design and materials but not better computer hardware.

[Creepyzombie007]

@davomrmac and looks GREAT!!....Yes that's also very important :P

[anastasiayay252]

i <3 macs

[anastasiayay252]

boring

[PandaThermal]

I was wondering which laptop I should get.

Between MacBook pro and alienware.

I am comparing between price and performance. Please answer thnx

[davomrmac]

@PandaThermal MacBook Pro.

[OtoninShinobi230917]

Hey there, I was wondering how this computer would work for me, I presently have a desktop mac that was last updated in 2008 and works OK for me as is, But what I want to do is spend a lot of time playing games through windows via bootcamp and Animating in flash. I don't know much about this computer so I'm asking anyone if its good for doing all that. The games Portal, amnesia, and Half life 2 Work fairly well on the one I already have.

[fredriol]

Best review of Macbook I've seen on youtube! Great job!!! I'M SOLD

[davomrmac]

@fredriol Thank you, I appreciate that.

[Monomeester]

You clearly see he does not understand much about computers. If a computer is on you DON'T turn it upside down and back with a harddrive spinning, omg.

[davomrmac]

@Monomeester I think I know plenty about them, it was not turned upside down with the hard drive spinning. Anyway drives can work in any orientation.

[revolutionstudios2]

I have the upgraded version if this laptop.

and it does put off alot of heat but it is still a good laptop

[TheDJWICKED]

great review ;)

[davomrmac]

@TheDJWICKED Thanks.

[818doodooroo]

@davomrmac thank you, i am considering getting a 13 inch one. and your review has helped me to make such decision!

[davomrmac]

@818doodooroo Great to hear, plus new ones just came out the other day :)

[SuperComputerinfo]

very nice

[azurescens420]

Macs are for faggots!

[MsPause1]

really it's a pleasure to use a mac book pro =)

[FTWcristiano]

woo thumbs up i you're watching from a macbook pro 13 inch mid 2009!

[cmdp85]

Does it get to hot?

[davomrmac]

@cmdp85 A little, when doing something like video editing.

[antonspi]

@cmdp85 um when i watch a movie on my brothers pro for about 2 hrs it gets warm and its pretty cool to have a warm laptop when its cold, i realy want won =)))

[kerplunk39]

I bought mines 2 days ago and i love it to deathhhhh!!!!! once you go mac, you never go back ;)

[AMC22227]

I love this guy

[MRA0000000000Z]

i bought 1 yesterday

[davomrmac]

@MRA0000000000Z Congratz! enjoy your new computer :)

[xNANNA9]

@davomrmac what would u recomend for a 12yr old who need to do a kot of school work, plays games like black ops and surfs the web alot plz reply oh out of a imac 21.5 and a macbookpro

[davomrmac]

@xNANNA9 21.5 iMac or 15 inch MacBook Pro.

[robyr]

@xNANNA9 I don't really think a 12 year old needs a $1200+ professional grade laptop. The 15" is even more expensive. I would really step back and examine your priorities instead of trying to chase a fad or one-up your friends with a machine you dont need.

[addicted112]

i have the macbook pro13 i use it for collegue and its really worthy!!! i recommend it to everyone , i dont have a desktop and ill try to buy an imac this year!!! =)

[randomrazr]

@addicted112 15 worth the extra over the13?

[antonspi]

@randomrazr some people say they want a 12 that 13 is to big....

[davomrmac]

@antonspi Yes, I really love my 12-inch Powerbook, great size.

[badblackdays]

Finally I got the 15-inch in Christmas and it's fantastic, BUT It came with iLife 09 :( xD

[davomrmac]

@badblackdays You can upgrade for just the cost of postage if you contact Apple.

[electroreviewful]

i like your review...very nice

[davomrmac]

@electroreviewful Thanks.

[VegasDannyReturns]

Dave im seriously thinking about getting the Mac Book Pro 13...but i heard a rumour that apple will have a new mac book out around easter. My question is...is there any truth in the rumour...and if so....should i sit tight and save for the new machine?

[davomrmac]

@VegasDannyReturns This should happen around Easter, so expect new versions then or soon after.

[GtaRockt]

What do you think? Is it big enough for school?

In school I will just write texts and make presentations and math programs and so on..

For CAD I could connect it with my 40" TV.

So do you think a 13" is big enough or should I afford the 15" one?

The problem is that the 15" one is like 200-300$ more expensive...

and: I want the best mobility..

But is the 13" Display big enough to work good?

(Sorry for bad English...)

[davomrmac]

@GtaRockt Great for school, 13-inch is plenty big enough if you have an external display you can use when you need it.

[GtaRockt]

@davomrmac

thx for the fast answer

ok, then I will take the 13" one with 2.4 ghz 2 dual core.. :)

[Da174Man]

Whats going on! i went to my local apple store and got myself a macbook pro 13 inch 2.4 ghz but i have noticed that it boots up in less than 14 seconds, it opens my newly installed office suit in less than 1 second, and generally all my applications run pretty fast so i went to the finder and it says that i have only 110 gb of storage left and i havent installed nothing but office. I looked at a video of some guy that had this thing called ssd and mine was exactly like his. ¿Did i get an ssd?

[MrfunnyCameraGuy]

what do you think the next macbook pro 2011 look like irealy want one lol my mom or dad probaly wont get it any way icve wanted one for 6 years

[davomrmac]

@MrfunnyCameraGuy Not much change in looks, maybe it'll use flash storage or SSD.

[Xx6D4niel9xX]

did really worth it ? i mean 1000 thousend box did really worth it ?

[sanford2018]

Do you think it is reasonable for an 11 year old to have one?

[davomrmac]

@sanford2018 Yes, this or the white unibody.

[JSantana319]

@sanford2018 This one is more than perfect for you. For regular web browsing, checking emails, watching youtube videos, movies, photos, word processing and a bit of editing, but not too intense. I'm in the process of getting a 13 inch Macbook Pro and I sort of regret getting a 15 inch Macbook pro Antiglare which is way too pricey. I don't mind getting the current one even though I know they're coming out with new ones soon.

[jacksite2007]

Hi, i have noticed when i move the macbook, it clicks every so often. Its from thr ight hand side. I google it and someone said it is something inside which has motion sensors, and throws this thing inside out the way in sudden movements to stop it from breaking. Is it ok to use a laptop on your lap, or should it be used on a desk?

[davomrmac]

@jacksite2007 Could be the hard drive heads parking.

[davomrmac]

@jacksite2007 And yes, use it on your lap if you want to, it'll be fine.

[davomrmac]

@shuvit900 Congratz!

[CoooTurtl1]

lol MBP is over priced for what it is, i have a Dell XPS 15 and it has better specs, like way better, better speakers, Blue Ray, better screen resolution, 1 grand cheaper, idk why you would want something that is no where NEAR as good and is a lot more expensive

[davomrmac]

@CoooTurtl1 Dell XPS 15 is a great machine, I just tested one for review.

[pyromancer14]

@CoooTurtl1 Look up a computer with the same specs as the Macbook pros and they will be the same price or more.

[victorthegreat96]

im excited watching this because my bro is gunna give me his and he barely got it like 2 weeks ago :)

[davomrmac]

@victorthegreat96 Very cool.

[SunwenM]

do all macbook pros have illuminated keyboards?

[jacksite2007]

@SunwenM i think it comes as standard. I got the standard 13inch, and i got it

[samocook]

This makes me even more excited! Going to my local apple store to get my MacBook pro today!! WOOO

[davomrmac]

@samocook Brilliant news!

[johncenafan154]

Like Guys i like it its very awsome im getting this for my bday also a ipod 4g but guys the only thing i dont like is that once all the battary is finished you have to go to the apple store or a repair center that really sucks. What do you guys think

[davomrmac]

@johncenafan154 It is a shame in a way you have to take it to the store for a new battery, but it allowed Apple to improve battery life. Also it costs only a little more than an older user-replaceable battery. Not a bad thing really.

[MyNameIsConnorC]

im getting an envy 14 for christmas. im extremley happy. faster and cheaper than a mbp 13. dont hate just cuz i said that, i just prefer pcs :)

[davomrmac]

@MyNameIsConnorC Cool choice. I like the Envy a lot too :)

[77Godsent]

[bloodyfilth666]

[addicted112]

[davomrmac]

@addicted112 Cool, thanks for commenting.

[samox2]

is the 13 inch big enough for day to do life

thinkin of usin it for uni to, which will need to be carried round

th!anks

[davomrmac]

@samox2 Yes, plenty.

[stylakidd]

Hi im a music producer looking for a more reliable system... but at the same time i want it to be quite powerful, and portable to take on the road with me. i have a budget of £1000. what would you suggest i get? bare in mind, i need alot of processing power and multi-tasking ability. thanks

[davomrmac]

@stylakidd 13-inch MacBook Pro.

[stylakidd]

@davomrmac hi mate thanks for your reply, are the intel core2 duo processors any good? and do you recon it's worth okay to get a refurbished one... the unibody 13 inch, 4gb ram, 2.4ghz processor, that one is £850.. which means i can buy some accessories with the extra money... plus it comes with warranty... or shall i go for something else?

[davomrmac]

@stylakidd Well I have a MacBook Air with Intel Core2Duo and it is fast enough for me. Depends what you will be using it for really.

[stylakidd]

@davomrmac well basically i know how cpu and memory demanding the stuff i use it for are (VSTs, real time edits, photoshop etc.. things that require a lot of power to run smoothly basically.. but im not worried too much about screen size.. since i usually hook it up to an external screen and use it as a tower.. (guessing that requires cpu power in its'self right?) but i want to play live shows with it aswel. so its gotta be fast and reliable? thanks again mate.

[WillTeleVision]

just ordered this today, cant wait.

[davomrmac]

@WillTeleVision Wicked, congrats!

[badblackdays]

Can you leave it, plugged into the electric current? It would affect to the battery?

If you leave it the battery will live more?

Thanks, and sorry for my poor english ;)

[davomrmac]

@badblackdays If you use it on mains, plugged in, yes battery will suffer long term. You need to use and discharge your battery once a month.

[badblackdays]

@davomrmac I'm buying one this xmas, it will cae with the snow leaopard won't it?

[davomrmac]

@badblackdays Yes, if you are buying brand new.

[badblackdays]

@davomrmac Ok , just the last question, the snow leopard, will came with iLife and iWork installed? or i've to buy them?

[davomrmac]

@badblackdays iLife yes, iWork no you have to buy that.

[danzlowe]

Great Review. Right now I have got a hp pavilion but I'm getting MacBook soon. And ob my hp when I sit it on surface that's not flat like my bed or something it heats up and slows the laptop some people say it even melts the inside. Will this happen on my MacBook

[davomrmac]

@danzlowe Any laptop would get hot on the bed, as there is no room for heat to dissipate.

[thecreativelady]

Just got my first Mac and opted for the Mac Book Pro. I'm still learning the Mac platform and this video really helped with the basics. Thanks!

[davomrmac]

@thecreativelady Awesome, welcome aboard.

[jakedanx]

CAN THESE GET VIRUSES

[davomrmac]

@jakedanx Yes, but there are not very many around, unlike PC's ;)

[flowerdustemily]

@jakedanx no these macbook pros or imacs cannot get any viruses because it has a defense against viruses and other malware software

[baha96]

@jakedanx NO



[adisario2004]

im gettin it for christmas....is thgere any downsides on getting the laptop?

[davomrmac]

@adisario2004 No, you will love it.

[baha96]

@adisario2004 no



[aresoperl]

doesn't it get hot, when theres no "breathing" on the back?

[davomrmac]

@aresoperl Nope.

[MophieZ]

@AvianBones I'd rather get a macbook pro.

[davomrmac]

@AvianBones If I had to choose one, MacBook Pro, but then I am not you ;)

[davomrmac]

@AvianBones Both the same.

[davomrmac]

@AvianBones iMac is better for games, but then you are stuck at the desk. If I had to choose one for games and portability, then the 15-inch MacBook Pro.

[davomrmac]

@AvianBones The best compromise would be MacBook Pro 13-inc for around the house, then an external monitor so you can use it at the desk.

[davomrmac]

@AvianBones I would go for a MacBook Air - good performer, great for social use, very light and comfortable to use.

[davomrmac]

@AvianBones Depends if you need a desktop or a laptop.

[gregliam]

hey what is the maximum resolution of the screen?

[davomrmac]

@gregliam 1280x800.

[mitho1235]

is mac book the best laptop

[davomrmac]

@mitho1235 Yes.

[Str82YourFace]

do these computers run fast on the internet

[davomrmac]

@Str82YourFace As fast as any computer. The speed is down to the individuals connection.

[pwoodaman]

@yigitkucuk88 congrats you will love it.

[099psp]

macbooks have the worst graphics EVER 256MB? WHATS THE USE OF 256MB?
