[JackehTube]

You can put 2 ssds? How come you only showed you putting 1 in the other video?

[rshannaz]

[xjlonelystar]

Where is the backup cd!?

[LangaardOmegagutten1]

[Coorsgood10]

I didn't really need this video but it was delivered well. Well done.

[Deathnote819]

@nhking4 it means techfast lunch and dinner

[nhking4]

What does TLD stand For?

[D2ays]

[carboman100]

@D2ays 15 or 17.

[BrownBoy50]

Does it come with apple stickers

[D2ays]

@BrownBoy50 all apple gadgets come with a pair of apple stickers

[elduque3311]

Hey bro this is a question not related to the vid, is a mini displayport to hdmi better than a mini....... To a DVI or GVA or they provide the same quality to a dual monitor?, wich one gives the best performance?

[coopernfsps]

that was an insane commentary!!!

[XakerArt]

What is better Antiglare or Glossy ??/?? please REPLY

[planerhys121]

@XakerArt it depends what you do , glossy is ok for just normal surfing the web and maybe a little bit of video. But if you dont wank to see youself all the time then dont go for it. I went for the anti-glare and love it! maybe it dosnt give as much vibrant colours but it is much better. in the uk £120 is worth it for me ! if you do photo editing and video work go for the anti glare because you get true colours. Pluss i love the macbook air style bezzel:) hope this helped :D

[XakerArt]

@planerhys121 thank you

[lilmyke42552]

This is by far the best unboxing video I've seen, made me laugh with you humor man you really did, I'm getting that same one in the mail this week just the 2.8 ghz and I've been watching these unboxings to get myself hyped up, love the video man thanks

[nkhazov]

i,m getting one for christmas so i won one on wednesday night

[planerhys121]

@nkhazov same , you gettin the anti-glare too?

[maskedman000]

If you had to choose between the 2.4 to 2.5 Ghz upgrade or the anti-glare what would be better

[CherylKKst]

I need a MacBook Pro cuz mine died and I`ve using a PC i feel like in a foreign country but i don`t know if I should wait til next year to get the upgrade model or this one. Also i dont know if i`ll should go for the 13`` or the 15`` I do a lot of research, word processing and some video and photo edit.

[29063TYG]

how much is it in total for the anti glare high res.?

[ChAnimations]

@29063TYG 150 €

[Sharpshooter226]

1. why did you upgrade to the 7200rpm if you were just going to rip em out anyway?

2. is it better to have dual 120 gb ssds or 1 crucial 256gb ssd? which is cheaper?

3. what is raid and how do you install in?

[DjentleDjiant]

How do these stack up for gaming?

[TheRj725]

@tldtoday

Hey jonny, can u temme one thing.?

I wanna kno wat is the difference between 2.4 GHz nd 2.5 GHz i7 processor..

I mean is it worth putting 250$ for .1 GHz processor? And ya 2 MB cache difference..

[nHenriksson]

could you please do a room tour? :D

[sk8eroz]

me iz jealous -.-

[applegeek96]

In out in out......

[nortexoid]

Dude, I've the same beast. It's slick, except for the USB drives being so close together on such a big ass laptop. Also, where's the USB 3? And why does the stock hdd configuration come with a 5400 RPM drive?! Ah, Apple....you stink!

[fatlittlenick]

So nice! i'm thinking of upgrading from my early 2008 MBP to this model.

[wwcomputerrepair]

@fatlittlenick i went from a late 08 to this. AMAZING!!!!

[58586stefan]

you should totally show us you upgrading your mac!

[TechW0RLD101]

ARNT YOU GETTING THE MAC PRO!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY THE HELL DID YOU GET THE MACBOOK PRO, , HOW MNAY MACS DO YOU OWN~~~~~~~!!!!!!

[AKidzView]

@TechW0RLD101 im pretty sure all he owns is the air this and the tunderbolt display

[omrbrkbrz]

RAID?? How come?

[CelebrityEndorsement]

Did you get rid of your MacBook Air?

[iPhoneTipster]

@CelebrityEndorsement Yes he did!

[CelebrityEndorsement]

@iPhoneTipster Thanks for the info man, how did you know that? Does he say in another video?

[iPhoneTipster]

@CelebrityEndorsement he posted on twitter!

[figliodimercurio]

2.5?? isn't it 2.4??

[xmeerzx]

[Khalduknight]

Can I have the 750GB hard drive you're going to remove? XD

[MyBanchan]

When are you going to post the video after you are going to upgrade hell out of your MBP?

[leiria69]

[umak3m3l0l]

[PSANBS]

Make A How To upgrade Video for the hardrives and the disk drive!

[SL1DE5TER]

I'm SO grateful for what I have now. But I guess it's time to take that gratefulness to A WHOLE NEW LEVEL >:)

[MsiPodTouchGenius]

I have an HP laptop that crashed on me and I need a new laptop, is the macbook pro the best choice?

[myapplezone]

@MsiPodTouchGenius Since you can run both OS X and Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro I would say it is a very good choice.

[MsiPodTouchGenius]

@myapplezone thanks

[TronTron41]

@tldtoday

Which MBP do you recommend for an architect student at best value (need to run auto cad, PS)?

refurb high end 15" from March 2011

low end late 2011 15"

high end late 2011 15"

You said in March that the High end 15" was the best value...what do you think now?

[myapplezone]

@TronTron41 Any of those options would be good but I would recommend (since you are a student) going for the previous hi-end 15" MBP. If you can still find one, you should be able to get one at a discounted price but they are going fast.

[xFl1p1nPr1D3x]

hey Jonathan, is there an awesome laptop under 1000$ (15in screen) i cant find one D;

great video as always~

[myapplezone]

@xFl1p1nPr1D3x Your best bet would be to search eBay for used 15" MacBook Pro.

[tolisBFMV]

i got an issue... when i open Safari it opens in the half of the screen and if i press the grren PLUS button it's only getting a bot bigger... any help ???...i am a novice regarding mac...

[Pianomanwes]

@tolisBFMV just came from windows eh? you can download an app that changes the green button to a full 'maximise' like in windows called 'RightZoom' :)

[tolisBFMV]

@Pianomanwes oh...nice...thanks dude...see what i'll do...:)

[BelovedVictory]

Beauty! --- Sent From tldtoday's AppRats (Facebook App)!

[thingy56]

Upgrade walk through!

[myapplezone]

Jonathan, nice review.  Can you please post the 64 bit Geek Bench results when you get a chance. Thanks and Thumbs Up!

[MrSuperSloMo]

What do you do with all these Macbooks and iMacs?

[Hawx885]

Whats the rase of your dog? Golden retriver? ;D

[thatguy5557123]

walk throughs of all the upgrades??

[OnTheGoHoney]

Hight five man!

[umak3m3l0l]

why not get 240gb ssd and keep the optical?

[myapplezone]

@umak3m3l0l He wants to create a super fast RAID with the two SSD's. 

[umak3m3l0l]

@myapplezone what's a raid?

[myapplezone]

@umak3m3l0l Redundant Array of Independent Disks is a storage technology that provides increased reliability and functions through redundancy. This is achieved by combining multiple disk drive components into a logical unit, where data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways called "RAID levels". Just Google "RAID" for more info.

[shaheerhere]

Awesome unboxing! MBP looks gorgeous! Can you please show us how you ripped the SuperDrive and installed the SSDs?

[ENASTY7ALLDAY]

could you do a video of you taking out the super drive and putting in the flash drives? that'd be cool

[Karnashuk]

any news on new 2012 iMacs ?

[greysmoke321]

two 120 internal ssd's sweet !

[thefuf99]

Hey Jon, on the Apple site (Canada), the base model 13" (Late 2011) is $1250 and has a 2.4 GHz i5, but there's also a refurb (Early 2011) 13" for $1230 with a 2.7GHz i7. Which should I get? It's seems like a no brainer to me to get the latter, but is there something I'm missing here? Thanks so much in advance! =]

[F1NNAZ]

@thefuf99 get the i5 2.4 due to the fact it's new. It's better in many ways to get that.

[MoritzOfUrsa]

Why did you pick the Vertex over the OWC this time?

[myapplezone]

@MoritzOfUrsa The Vertex SSDs offer the same read/write speeds but are less expensive.

[bigworm70]

In case you need more length..ehh..elbow nudge

hahahahahaha

[graphboy0]

what's up document ? ! xD

[YummiestOrphan]

Any chance of some benchmarks compared to the early 2011 model to see if there are any relevant boosts in performance?

[ivs511]

Geek orgasm = Geekgasm! lmao

[EmiriDarkFall008]

you should give it away...to me.

[fpsBeaTt]

What's the point of doing an un-boxing of this model? Hurrr, let's do an un-boxing of this cheese that has 300g in a package instead of the previous 290g. Seems a bit superfluous; nothing of significance has changed.

[fellisch9]

I love TLD :)

[Evrenovic]

Make a video on HOW to upgrade a macbook! :D

[chrispenguin427]

Is there any way to get an antiglare option after buying the mac? I have the early 2011 17" pro.

[taloto07]

how is the temperature? Macbook pro 2008 or 2009 has a problem with temperature that it's too hot you can't put it on your lap while using it.

[sxyjimbo911]

DO A REVIEW OF YOUR YAMAHA H80's SITTING ON YOUR DESK!!!!

[daddytech]

wasn't really an unboxing, more like i already opened it and here's what i got in it, not quite the same thing

[tldtoday]

@daddytech There's a million MacBook Pro unboxings, just keeping it interesting.

[Soccerboy801]

Seriously, listen to what the video says. And also, don't complain, you aren't paying anything, he might as well call it a giveaway, just to get hits. Youtube is free for you to register and use.

You may have a nice computer but..YOU AIN'T GOT NO PANCAKE MIX! :3

@MultiAidan1 Touche salesman. Touche.

[JOnuts19fam]

@tldtoday You might have a nice laptop which cost more than my live but, you don't have my heart </3 :)

[rshimtheman]

@tldtoday yes yes yes touche

[K00L9]

@tldtoday Tired of waiting for the mac pro????

[spartan117ism]

@tldtoday Do you have the 13 inch Macbook Pro(Late 2011)

[MyRandomReviews]

I bought the new MBP the day it was released and it seems like yesterday. Kinda bummed that the new one has a 6770, which is awesome!

[pntballrokr]

@MyRandomReviews I bought one also, but the way I try and think of it is this: no matter which one we buy, there will always be a better/faster one coming out in the future. So unless you want to buy and sell every time they come out with another refresh, just be happy with having a Mac and how you use it :D (hope that last part doesn't sound offensive cause I didn't mean for it to be)

[MyRandomReviews]

@pntballrokr - Haha, I can't afford to upgrade my MacBook every product refresh yet, but if I could already, what would be to look forward to when I get a job after university?! :)

[pntballrokr]

@MyRandomReviews I hear ya. When I get out of college, I plan on getting a Mac Pro and upgrading the s#*t out of the insides (SSD, Video Card, RAM, etc). Then no matter how they refresh the series I will still be happy with my speed output :)

[MyRandomReviews]

@pntballrokr - Good luck getting there. :)

[pntballrokr]

@MyRandomReviews Thanks, gonna need it haha

[GOcgyFLAMESgo]

why does your macbook pro not have the edge to edge glass???

[rihannapondereplay]

@GOcgyFLAMESgo the anti-glare screen version has silver around the screen like the macbook air

[MultiAidan1]

@GOcgyFLAMESgo It's because it has the matte screen/anti-glare screen, they do that on those..sorry i don't know why

[GOcgyFLAMESgo]

@MultiAidan1 ivy bridge is coming soon...

[McErnster]

giveaway?

[briman2010]

i personaly never liked the black bezel

[warman0712]

Why would you choose 2 OCZ's rather than 2 OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G? Aslo what kind of RAM are you getting? You should get 8, 12 or 16GB from OWC. Amazing stuff.

[Rubentje96]

Will you show us how you place the new drives in the macbook pro?

[pianolover123456789]

Great vid as always. Will you make a vid showing the installation process for all your mods?

[secretasianman27]

btw,

the optical drive sata is sata 2

so u might get some bottlenecking,

sata 2 is 375MB/s mac, and this drive is rated for 550,

im sure in raid 0 u wont notice it

[bjbranch12]

Does the glossy screen or the anti-glare screen look better??

[GPMusicc]

@tldtoday John! I need your help!!! I have been using a 1gb ram MacBook from 2007 and I've been looking to upgrade to a 15" MacBrookPro for a while now. Is it worth it to get one of these or is something big coming out in 2012 and how long would I have to wait for one?

[shaheerhere]

Should one wait for the 2012 MBPs or buy these?

[TheDougheyMan]

John, This is a serious question about Apple

I try to download the Mac Apple Store, but Apple's hyperlinks but in this loop. I hit the Software update button but my computer is fully updated. what do I do?

[sccerstr09]

It seems like you just ordered this yesterday!! How long did it take to ship?

[mattknow]

Can you do a video showing you upgrading the MBP?

[certifiedtechnology]

I love your videos (:

- Sarah

[CookiezzFTW]

I bet you

[itsnickyeah]

You should get 16 gigs of ram from owc in it the chips they make are great and fast :)

[iMichi1994]

I've got the 15" low end model and I hate the 265mb graphics chip!! Why couldn't Apple put a 512mb chip into the spring 2011 model??

[harryhotspur123]

Geekgasm haha

[bax450]

I'm not begrudging you having all this stuff, but how do you afford it all?

[iPhone3GSCase]

i just got the new MBA in July, u think i should sell it and upgrade to one of these?

[tldtoday]

@iPhone3GSCase I honestly would hold on to it until the 2012 MacBook Pros, this was a minor revision and you unless you absolutely need speed like I did in my case I would hold off :)

[iPhone3GSCase]

@tldtoday oh ok, thanks i have a 27" iMac aswel so that takes care of enough speed for me, but yeh 2012 bacbook pro shall be mine!

[itsodnalro]

@tldtoday can you do a video of youwpgrading the super drive for us?

[d3ql]

@tldtoday

can you give any speculations on what the 2012 mbp will have. specs and design wise. im just curious :D i am waiting for the ipad 3 to come out but if the 2012 mbp is going to blow my socks off i might get that instead.

[iFoleyTech]

@tldtoday I haven't had a mac yet, and i plan on getting one of these for christmas. should I get this or wait till 2012?

[acecard98]

@iFoleyTech um just get one for christmas youll have to wait at least a year till new ones come out and i think they wont be that diferent

[TheNewGuyOnYT]

@iPhone3GSCase Upgrade to a PC. xD

[iPhone3GSCase]

@TheNewGuyOnYT already got the 27" iMac aswel :)

[tv321123]

@iPhone3GSCase hold off until they completely redo the macbook pro

[iPhone3GSCase]

@tv321123 yeh i am, hopefully the next Macbook Pro will be completely new everything

[tv321123]
