15-Inch Quad-Core i7 MacBook Pro Unboxing & Review (February 2011)

[Aymdicate]

Will it run minecraft no lag?

(serious question I'm asking)

[icekillez]

@Aymdicate obviously

[hellowhkitti]

nice video =p

[TheSmartPresenter004]

Where is the unboxing???

[steamkidsdad]

so if i was to buy the basic 15 inch macbook pro from the apple site would that be good for gaming not that i want it specifically for gaming i was just wondering before i bought it if it could handle one high end game.

[eivis13]

@steamkidsdad handle- yes handle on max res and textures-never

[mariokid2115]

@steamkidsdad If you want a high end gaming machine get a maxed out iMac or consider a desktop PC. There is no laptop on the market that can compare to a desktop.

[jswac]

Mine's 2.4 GHz and it was 2199? What?

[mrnoizeh1]

if i buy the macbook pro 13inch thats with 1200dollars is it good for video editing and gfx?

[darkhunter2121]

@mrnoizeh1 yes it is if you wan a spend 300 Bucks on final cut pro x

[jediveidar]

much talk no unboxing

[punjab4n]

wish I had one

[taboochie]

I want this but all wait for the 2012 model

[nutbagticles]

@taboochie there's a 2012 model? shit just bought mine :(

[cheisito]

you look high.. were u smoke pot?

[neurozero]

20 people dont have enough money to buy mac

[blindskater42]

@neurozero make that 21

[MrDemarDerozan10]

I am thinking of getting the 15 inch but I'm not sure about the hi res glossy vs the hi res anti glare what do you think?

[MsBmx25]

I cry over macs...literly

[planerhys121]

@ProtectJewsEvilArabs you are paying for a quality product. Pluss The name - Apple . If Hp made this laptop it would probably be around £600 to £800 not £1500+ - Apple Is A Very Wealthy Brand name!

[cacilndaa123]

Man Really good video, u went straight to the point, helped me doing my decision, and really good video. Actually the best review about the MBP that i saw until now

[Porchelover3000]

@ProtectJewsEvilArabs lol i know i looked at what alienware could do for the same stats its at least 500$ cheaper its all about the case lol

[pixelated48]

Mine went dead after 3 weeks. Sent it to Apple to repair, got it back and it went dead again within 10 minutes of working.

[MrBarcelo94]

Thank you for this review. Im goin to buy this for college..

[mams1995]

do you have acne or something?

[rid100jnr]

@mams1995 do you have pubes?

[09963123456789]

You sound like a robot! :-#

[nolliefsflip]

The 2.0GHz is more in my budget, do you know what the turbo boost would take it to?

[randomnoyz]

are you selling this now

[antonspopovs]

@anytemplate I do not use hard drive, it is an old technology and slow, I use SSD, which is very fast and does not produce any heat as well as any noise.

[antonspopovs]

Bought the same configuration two days ago with 8GB Ram and 128GB SSD.... and yesterday the new one came out LOL. So the top configuration now is 2.5Ghz... 0.2Ghz is not a huge difference though

[anytemplate]

@antonspopovs Hi,

Does your 7200rpm hard drive gets hot, noisy or does it makes the fan works continuously?

Please let me know, thanks

[flylikeacg]

how come your screen is silver?

[BreakPics]

@flylikeacg it's anti glare

[Osmankhan786]

hey i bought a new macbookpro 15 inch quadcore i7 and lion pre installed and i didnt gt a cd, is that ok or not cuz i want to install win 7 for gaming and every vid says i need the cd for drivers

[D1ngD0ng1214]

awesome review :D ... i need help in choosing my macbook pro 15, the base-line 2.0 GHz best suits my budget, is it decent for gaming? id like to play games like Battlefield 2, possibly the upcoming Battlefield 3, MW and some other fps games, and if i can buy that 2.0 ghz version should i upgrade the RAM? please reply soon anyone, itll help me alot ;)

[MrDHA55]

I like the anti-glare but hate the white bezel.

[ObeseGamingTV]

pink eye!!

[AlamsAccount]

You helped me so much deciding what to buy! you are the best thank you so much!

[screwyouslut]

Terrorist win

[synadude]

Is this your 2nd or 3rd 2011 Macbook Pro?

[JMCTechReviews]

Why's the bezel aluminum?

[FRAMEDSKATEKREW69]

good video! you got another subscriber lol

i was gonna get the anti glare but then i noticed you didnt get the black sides which i wanted :P

[zavia1V]

i just bought mine now IM SOOOO EXCITED FOR IT TO COME

[WalTxAaroN]

The 2.3 processor upgrade also increases the L3 cache from 6 to 8mb

[TheRowRo]

i need this 1 for college its the standard :D

[fenderbenderr45]

Insanely good review.

[MrReece3202]

Dear Santa...

[ezfingerboarder]

I just bought the 2.3ghz high res anti-glare, the screen is AWESOME! I also have edited a few pictures and it is a breeze. Thats just for all of you considering...

[planerhys121]

@ezfingerboarder so you prefer the anti glare to glossy? i think the glossy looks better but is the anti glare more practical?

[ezfingerboarder]

@planerhys121 To mw, the anti-glare gives the screen depth. I would take it over glossy personally, but if you want to see the difference between the two yourself, go to your local apple store.

[ezfingerboarder]

@ezfingerboarder to me*

[Nos0]

dammit, already ordered the 13 inch, i like this one way better.

great video

[BrownBoio]

@Nos0 bro u should cancel it and get the 15.4" i7 2.0 GHz

[skaar98]

I am getting the MacBook Pro 13' today! :-D

[milliondollarman13]

@2010pspgo look in the tags he uses a canon 60D

[themarcotte007]

what's your favorite MacBook

[VeigerSchimon]

Does it have built in Bluetooth?

[conn0r644]

@VeigerSchimon Dude.....my $50 phone has built in bluetooth lol, everything does.

[lucmitchify]

oh so thats what that battery button is for!

[DraperHaz]

dear santa...

[fabioadias]

The production of your videos is just amazing. Nice review man, thanks for sharing.

[BionicSammich]

would it void your warranty if you replace the ram yourself?

[SOLE1PRODUCTIONS]

@BionicSammich nope

[BionicSammich]

@SOLE1PRODUCTIONS but would you lose warranty for the ram?

[ColeBatesNorum]

@BionicSammich No. That is the one after-market piece of hardware you can install without voiding the warranty. I asked this exact question to an employee the other day, so no, it does not.

[ELEKTRA1902]

very nice....

[TehLxr]

from 2.2 to 2.3 youd dont just get a clockspeed upgrade, you get around 6mb of extra cache in the chipset

[TheBeastKilla50]

[Techycow]

@chelfc7 haha i love reading through a mirror :D

[DanteSparda08]

@jakub0404 how come has ebay pissed you off?

[danielholgaard]

The resolution on the MacBook Air 13" is higher. I am using it now :)

[mrVelesAge]

Thanks! I like it very helpful in the choice of my Mac.

[thecatsgonewild]

Should I get this or an Alienware m14x?

[23techreviewer]

@thecatsgonewild this by far

[peachpit211]

where's the link to the hand gestures thing ?

[kashishgable]

woah it shows temp this comp got everything

[sridvijay]

This is a great review thanks!

[normandorp]

That ac adapter looks tiny, my 130w adapter is atleast twice as big :)

[m0nst3rg]

Best review yet

[M34nPuppyDog]

[PariginoItalico]

did you take without a widescreen?How much Cost?

[weaponEX]

Thanks dude :)

[TheAppleOracle]

What type of HD Camcorder were you using? ^^

[feelgoodside]

Is the extra $100 or 150 worth it for HD screen.

[2010pspgo]

What camera do you use, your videos always look so good!

[KronikSupra]

@2010pspgo an HD one(:

[ChrisTheNerf]

@2010pspgo Canon E O S 60D

[sridvijay]

@2010pspgo He uses a Canon 60D

[limetang]

Is the 15 inch too big to be portable. I'm just wondering because I like the fact it's got a bigger screen better graphics etc. but I'm just wondering if all this comes at a cost of it's portability.

[TheAppleOracle]

@limetang I agree. I hope that Apple and Intel but their brains together and figure out that people want more screen real estate. The Alien Ware Laptops feature FULL 1080 resolution. The only thing that is stopping me from buying Alien Ware (the one reason that stands above the other reasons) is due to the fact that I'm a media based individual. I love film and I need a mac. I also LOVE mac. But that's for another day. =]

[agwin27]

@limetang NO. i personally have a 15 inch that i use for education and business. I carry mine with me all the time: on trips, to work/class, etc, and i never have found its size inhibiting portability. the 17 inch, on the other hand, does seem to large for regular portability, in my opinion.

[WazzzaaaBroadcasting]

quick question, im going to make games for my study, and i was wondering should i buy the 2.2 version or the 2.0 ghz version? just a question. i hope i will hear from you soon!!

[TheAppleOracle]

@WazzzaaaBroadcasting If I were you, opt for the Alien Ware laptops/desktop. Sure, it's not a mac, but they are better for games. Macs are entirely media based machines that operate on the level of media. In any case, should you decide to buy a mac, you should opt for the higher performance. The 2.2 GHz model would be best. Opt for that.

[limetang]

@GATEstudent01 4gb of ram is more than acceptable for most people.

Dude, that was so fuckin' great! Im getting one in the next week, and this tutorial is the best on YouTube!!

[Roflpantoffelfok]

Great review!

[TheGonzales2012]

I just got a 15 in MacBook pro with the 256 mb graphic card, is this fine for just watching movies, basic video editing, and playing application games from the app store?

[TheSuperGing]

@TheGonzales2012 I had the same question and i asked an expert from the apple store. They said the 256mb card is more than enough for that. actually i asked 2 experts and they said the same exact thing. I ended up getting the 15" with the 256mb graphics card with the high res anti glare display. It will be here next week and im really excited lol :)

[TheGonzales2012]

@TheSuperGing Thanks for your help but I went ahead and got the 2.2 version with the 1 GB graphic card instead

[dizzeepetee]

sick review

[GemyWorldTV]

Excellent Previewer.

[GIRlulz]

I like the images of whats in the box rather than seeing someone struggle opening a box

[smashum08]

@stealthmonkey13 the 1gb gpu would be a decent card for gaming but honestly if you want a gaming laptop go pc very few of the good games are not on mac.

[saikou164]

how good is it for recordin rap music??????

[XcupofteaX]

I'm thinking of buying the 15 inch MBP with the 2.2 GHz quad core processor and would like to know if it would work well as a MAIN and only computer? I am also suggesting upgrading the ram to 8GB. Feedback would be hugely appreciated, thank you.

[PatrikForLife]

@TheKiddo55 I like how you replied in what, 12 minutes? lol, looks like someone checks the inbox quite often. Anyways. I was serious about it, haven't seen one single comment that actually talks about the video in a long time. but if you wanna be an ass. feel free to. I couldn't care less. :)

[PatrikForLife]

I'm getting a macbook with the following specs:

Intel I7 2.3 GHz Processor.

ATA-Drive 500gb (7200rpm).

8Gb of Ram.

AMD Radeon HD6490M.

Do you think that PC will be able to play games such as World of warcraft, Counter strike source, Crysis, battlefield, Call of duty etc.

[CanadaKill]

@PatrikForLife you will have to get windows for it if u wanna play games

[PatrikForLife]

@CanadaKill I'm gonna use Bootcamp in mac to play them.

[PatrikForLife]

@TheKiddo55 I remember when I could read a comment about the actual video.

[GeekTechMac1]

@Kendall0872 antiglare, the glossy is beautiful too but it has bad reflection on the screen

[g0thicismus]

hey does any of u macbook pro users experience d heat issue at the bottom of the laptop? is it normal or should I bring it to d mac technicians to check it out? Thanks.

[MucMonsta]

in my opinion the anti glare screen doesn't look as good as with that black outline.

[ismart23]

is the baseline 15 in. models graphics card enought to stream hd netflix or does it not make a differance? and if im going to use another monitor with it is the hi res screen still worth it? please reply thanks. like the vids

[rneo123X]

why is ur macbook pro with a silver framing?

[kris9670]

@rneo123X its the antiglare model (:

[kris9670]

@rneo123X  its the antiglare model (: its only on the 15" and 17"

[boringpuol]

which one u guys prefer, the 2.0GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 4GB 1333MHz 500GB 5400-rpm1 Intel HD Graphics 3000 AMD Radeon HD 6490M with 256MB GDDR5 or 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 4GB 1333MHz 750GB 5400-rpm1 Intel HD Graphics 3000 AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5

[najko77]

dam you talk fast.....

[HaztaUK]

i think il stick with the 2ghz model

[electromagnetshit]

what is ssd?

[PatrikForLife]

@electromagnetshit Solid state drive if i recall correctly.

[electromagnetshit]

@PatrikForLife whats the difference between ssd and hdd?

[PatrikForLife]

@electromagnetshit The SSD are a lot quicker in sorting files i believe. If you got the cash to get one it'll considerably speed up the PC. They are quicker in file-sorting, they're don't require as much power as HDD's. In general they're just very fast.

[electromagnetshit]

@PatrikForLife thx bro

[shreeshaipod]

this is one of the best video reviews iv seen on youtube so far!!! great job!

[techkid1000]

It may be 2x faster then 3.0... but what company would choose the display port over USB?

[Byakine]

Thanks, i will receive my macbook pro 2.2 next week.

[hamish5011]

just bought this what u think?

2.2GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7

8GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB

750GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm

SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)

MacBook Pro 15-inch Glossy Widescreen Display

Backlit Keyboard (English) & User's Guide

Accessory Kit

[edmund777]

@hamish5011 Actually I bought the same, but I went fro the 500GB @ 7200rpm and I'm planing for a SSD if the prices go down...

As for the review, it was gr8 thanks :)

[GeekTechMac]

the antiglare is the shit!

[waytomuchsparetime]

@PapanikolaouC OMG that is amazing, you lucky son of a b*tch lol

[JSantana319]

@PapanikolaouC I'm looking forward to seeing an unboxing of your Macbook Pro with those huge specs. That's a huge investment without a doubt.

[antwonza]

i love this computer. apple upgraded my old 15 inch to this exact model

[489035002]

I still didn't see unboxing... All u did just review it...

[2secondman]

is there a big difference between the 13" 2.7 i7 and the base 15" ??.... i got the 13" seems fine... but if there is big diff overall, i dont mind shelling out a few dollars

[ryanmalti]

nice video keepit up :)

[airbornghost123]

Got one! here are the specs

2.2 ghz, 8 gb memory, 256 ssd , High res antiglare screen , btw its 15" its soo sweet cant wait till it comes.

[timviggo95]

Awesome vid man! :)

[carlosvg1986]

running rather hot @ 3:03 isn't it?

[4my89]

is compatible with windows? respect at the microsoft office program

?????

[tjeppi]

I have watched this vid like 20 times. Love your style of reviewing! I'm getting one soon, but still can't choose between the AG and the glossy. What is your experience with the AG? I'm going to use it for work and a bit of gaming.

Thumbs up if you think this is the best review of the 2011 macbook pro

[DmytroRyzhkov]

@tjeppi Your probably going to be doing your gaming inside, so the glossy wont affect it that much, plus the AG costs more. My friend games with his glossy display, and it doesnt bother him at all.

[ChaosRiddenReaper]

@tjeppi get anti glare

[chelfc7]

@tjeppi ANTIGLAREEEE! 

[rinkavideos64]

@tjeppi I would say glossy, sharper, better colors and just looks nicer.

[shotin101]

hey im looking for a mac book pro to get and i dont understand all to much of the tech details and i dont want to spend extra money on what i dont realy need for a first time laptop what should i get cause i want the new 15 inch macbook pro but theres two kinds and a 400$ diffrence in the two moddles the 2.0 ghs or somethng and the2.2 one which one should i get and can u expllain the specifics about them lastly dumb it down so ill get it thanks so much

[TIMPA921209]

@shotin101 i would recommend the baseline 15 inch, its fast and just really nice. But of course it depends on what you need it for, heavy movie editing and games and so on runs better whit a more powerful processor . but i would say that the baseline cheapest 15 inch is just great for average users such as my self.

[randomrazr]

@TIMPA921209 at the cost of 1699 plus tax almost 2 grand

[TIMPA921209]

@randomrazr well youre paying for quality.

[randomrazr]

@TIMPA921209 so the 13inch macbook pros dont have quality?

[TIMPA921209]

@randomrazr no not at all, thought you was an apple hater who thought it wasent worth buying an apple laptop. i have the13 inch pro, the lastest 2011 edition and i really like. Best computer i ever own :)

[randomrazr]

@TIMPA921209 nah man i own a 15inch macbook pro 2.0ghz i got last month :D

made a vid on it on my channel if u wanted to see it lol.

yes they are the best computers :)

[randomrazr]

@shotin101 what are u gonna use it for?

for the average person, even the 13inch macbooks are more than enough

[planerhys121]

Is The Anti-Glare Worth The Extra Money ?

Or Just To Stick With The Glossy?

Thanks

[sdblucy10]

What exactly would a normal person use thunderbolt for?

[Kamilsimac]

@sdblucy10 Add a bunch of crappy music on to your (FUTURE) iphone in less than 6 seconds =D

[sdblucy10]

@ShutUpAndListen79 what is so inferior about apple products?

[ShutUpAndListen79]

@sdblucy10 I decided to ignore the negative comments and bought 15inch version with i7 2.2Gz Quad-core CPU and better GPU

[ShutUpAndListen79]

I had ordered one but I thought Forget it I'm being told too many negative things so I've cancelled my order. It seems Apple charge to much for inferior quality products and hardware. I don't want to spend all that money on something everyone's telling me is crap.

[TJGProductions]

Great video! Very professional and informative, I was gonna buy a used Macbook pro, Now I want yours!

[hash342]

Which program used for titles ?

[TFC118]

what is the best for price? out of all of them? which one is the best, for the lowest price. please answer :)

[Cybron1]

@TFC118 the best in my opinion would be the 2nd one

[tkim2008]

Which fan control app do you use? It seems smc fan control doesn't work on the new mbp15

[xxxamuel]

so for picture editing youll recomend the 2.2ghz insted of the 2.3 and will it boost the speed up if i pic the SSD INSTED the serial ata drive???

[lubifera]

amazing video and good advices.

[thebsprky180]

Great review!

Very very detailed and fast, made me comment!

[l00ney711]

Thanks for the video i want a mac book but didn't know how to chose this helped a lot defiantly getting a mack book pro soon!
