Hey! Thanks for checking out this video! This was my biggest project to date on this channel, I kept re-shooting and editing until I felt it was right. I've spent so much time refining the details for this video, so I hope you like it! P.S. I've been using my Mac to edit every video since January! Crazy power in this thing!

I really liked the video, happy to finally find someone who uses the base model as not everybody can afford the more expensive version! It's April 2019 and I just bought mine, I thought about waiting but I was going from an early-2011 MacBook Pro so I knew it would be a massive improvement no matter what. Thanks!
Love the video. definitely was worth your time making it. I am learning to do videos like that on my channel and definitely yours is a good example of good video techniques.
me too. i just bought 2017 base model macbook pro in 2020 3 days ago and it was amazing.
my stomach dropped when you dropped the macbook😭

Apps With Jeff Garcia that machine is cost of 3 kidney 😂😂 and he dropped it 🤣🤣 heart attack
Wow! I definitely can see the great effort exerted on this video😀You're doing really great😀 P.S. That almost dropping the MacBook scene though😂
I use this same model as a graphic designer, and it's amazing for editing on the go. I have a powerful desktop PC, but this honestly matches it in many Adobe programs and I wasn't expecting that at all! Super compact, powerful and a great user experience. Recommended!
I've watched countless reviews of Macbooks over the past few years, but this is definitely my favorite. I love that you give your honest opinion on the good and bad stuff about it, and the scenery itself is amazing. Keep it up, subbed. :)
Bro your editing is too good..
Love your honesty. Helps viewers make an informed decision on whether it is the right laptop for them.
This is the exact one I got I got the 2017 13’ MacBook Pro, and I’m so excited to use it.
Yooooo, your video quality is next level 🤙💯
Wow!! I’ve been watching you since your beginning, I can tell you that your videos quality has improved a lot!
Baffled by the quality from such a small channel. This was really helpful with this ongoing education deal from apple to think about :O Finally a tech tuber from the motherland!
You said you’re running out of storage but you’re editing 4K videos. Makes sense why you’re running out of storage so fast. I understand tho you’re trying to give the people quality content! And I’m all for it! Good job btw. I’m looking into buying this laptop for editing and doing music, and also school work. Great job, really enjoyed the video
Thank you for the fully honest review man! Everything I needed to know before buying it🔥
Maaaaaan, outstanding video quality! Well done!
Just awesome video! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Super clean and concise video. Loved it!

Wow ur voice has changed alot i am watching ur videos after like almost an year keep up the crisp quality!
really liked the video. thinking of buying this for school and photo editing in lightroom. i just don't know what to do with the storage, i don't want to be always carrying my external hard drive with me. keep up the good work!
Really impressed on the quality of this video, great work!
The video composition is so good! Keep it up Alex!
just got this laptop. went into store for a dell G3 due to price to performance, then saw this the macbook pro and was like yup im getting that. mainly due to battery and portability. the quadcore version is expensive might as well get the 15inch. 2017 model is damn good.
Thanks for the info, your vid looks very professional and clean. Subbed!
Thank you for making this video, I was looking for someone to talk about your experience using the macbook pro, thanks, your video helped me decide if these macbook pro is for me or not.
nice vid, man! just bought the base model. been using a 2010 macbook pro until now. much needed upgrade
I got this as a Christmas gift and i love it!
Man, I love your videos
Gonna get one sometime this week! Im so excited as I have been contemplating this or the new 2018 MBA but i finally made my choice on this model!
Amazing Video... Enjoyed this video as always keep doing such videos good luck
Great video man Very insightful
You’re very proffesional!
amazing video, just what I was looking for:)
I like your video and i like your honesties ! Keep going
Great video man, loved it thumbs up 100%
Today is the first time i watched your video and u are massive 🔥🔥
Pretty spiffy video here! I can tell you put in a great deal of work. I have this model as well as a 2014. Both run Adobe Creative suite breezily.
Thankx for the review,going to buy it for my son's 18th.
Question. Does anyone know why I get a.custom youtube thumbnail notification on my phone whenever a KZreadr post something, but when I post a video with custom thumbnail other people do not see it? They just get a notification saying: a family of 5 posted a new video, only words not a thumbnail.
I literally just subscribed because this dude makes my videos look pathetic. I’m a tech youtuber that needs to get to this guys level! Awesome work!
I love your aesthetic omg
Great video! Just got the base MBP :)
nice that this video was a creator focused, now I can see if it is worth it for a freelance designer. I am happy for you that u got sponsored by a nordvpn, good product too!
Love the quality man !!!
Great video lad
Amazing video dude good job
great video!
Great review!
Best and honest review!
When he dropped the Mac I missed my heart beats for millisecond 😅
nice video mate!
Mannn keepp thee good work ;)
Wow a PC guy admitting Apple makes good machines .. good for you .. “the darkside” always has a spot open for you when you want to come over for good
Amazing Work!!!! new suscriber 🙏
13" MBP is totally a beast, but lack of ports and storage can be frustrating especially when compared to windows laptops in this range, although I have never faced that wifi issue u mentioned.
I just bought the 256GB one after watching this videos😁 Thanks mayn. Loved your video

I agree sent mine back bought a 2015 maxed out 15’’
Awesome video. Liked and subbed. Thank you
I bought the base model as well and for less than half the cost of upgrading to a 256gb ssd i was able to buy a usb c hub with all the missing IO and a 1 terabyte usb c external HD.
i figured it out! if the laptop doesn’t want to load like when your using browsers or anything just restart your laptop. yes it is annoying but it works
This is great content.
I used this model mpxq2 no touchbar 2017 macbook pro 128ssd for 1 month.... but I finally decided to switch to the same year Touchbar version. Nothing wrong with the No touchbar model, it’s just 128G seem not to be sufficient and the personal preference internally urges to change
Great job bro! I just purchased this model online and your review reassured me that I made the right decision. Thanks!

I've had mine since January 2018 and had no keyboard issues at all, however make sure you buy one with warranty because I've now had 2 new logic boards.
Hey which laptop is best for editing purpose macbook air or macbook pro? And if pro then with touch pad or without?
Great review. Short and to the point. Listed out the pros and cons. It was really hard to find someone doing a good review on the base model of the 13" Pro so thanks ! I'm probably going to buy this soon, but I'm worried about the 128 GB SSD, and if my apps (Premiere, PS, Figma, Football Manager & Videoscribe mainly) will take up a chunk of the space and leave me with very little space for my projects. Do you think I should go for the 256 GB SSD?
Thanks I been thinking about picking one up to edit video in final cut pro
Your voice sounds so professional
Hi. How does this iteration handles Adobe Photoshop CC? My daily job is graphic design and webdesign and I want to know if I could use this with Photoshop/Adobe XD mostly, and sometimes Illustrator (but not heavy) for freelance jobs? At my workplace I have a mid 2013 27'' iMac which is enough for the job, but is this enough for moderate usage at home? I'm not doing any video editing work nor I would do Photoshop heavy daily and I would really need the portability. Thank you :)
YOU NEED MORE SUBS!
His hair is amazing!!!
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE WIFI PROBLEM WHEN CONNECTING USB-A!! Disappointinh considering i shelled out for the 13" touchbar model for the extra performance boost. Also noticed that the wifi problem only happens with non-apple third party dongles!
Got my wife this exact model for school, NYU English Masters.
If only this thing at the Gen 3 keyboard, it would be fabulous! I've typed on both and the Gen 3 keyboard is firm and responsive. The 2017 MBP keyboard is types hard and clacky.
Please do a iOS 12 review on iPhone 6 thank you btw great video👍👍
Gonna buy it

Good review. The 2018 14" Asus 8th gen intel 8 GB ram base model, 256 SSD base model Flip is a far better choice. Faress expensive, Great stylish aluminum build, no fan noise issues, great touch screen, fingerprint sensor, micro SD card slot, can be used as a tablet, looks great and is much cheaper. No problem editing videos or photos. 16 GB of ram is best for editing. It's where Apple laptops should be.
I just bought a 16gb w/ 512gb off Gumtree for $2k AUD. Fingers crossed it gets me through 4 years of CS at uni.
Im getting that exact same!
I felt so bad for you when you dropped it 😂
I actually have the base model late 2016 256 gb. I love it. What's their differenxe by the way? :)
Great video. Can you put a link to the exact model you have in the description?
they really need to just slap a 5mpixel camera on the front. simple 1440p
I watching you’re video in French !
I might purchase the 256gb model but I'm skeptical... The keyboard has problems, the lack of ports, and the wifi problems you talked about. The fact that I need a dongle for usb a dongle for sd cards and a dongle for hdmi is just stupid... I was considering the razer blade stealth
watching this on my new Macbook 2017 and I am happy that I made the right decision to switch to Mac

I like this but wish they had it with the magnetic charger
If you shop around and are willing to buy a used albeit mint in-box macbook pro, you can score a 2018 quad core toucbar macbook pro 13" for about $1350. Just check facebook marketplace and Craigslist daily and you'll find one. Thats how I got mine, zero complaints and it was minty new with only 2 battery cycles.
Nice review mate! I have one question though. Can you edit 4k footage in premiere Pro without lags? I know that it's optimised to work flawlessly with final cut Pro but I'm really used to edit my videos with premiere. Thanks :)

Depends of your specs, not with the base model.
Agreed that touchbar is an unnecessary improvement. And yes, the pro doesnt really make us pro due to the only-two-usb-c issue
For me, it’s just a great laptop.
Thanks for the great vid! Can anyone explain the difference between i5 quad core and i7 dual core in terms of performance?

@@tiaadaanieep7282 I hear you. I thought the same at first and did a lot of too-ing and fro-ing before I decided on Amazon. Got it delivered this week and I don't regret it. Ordered 500GB storage and got 1TB instead, 16GB RAM and i7core processor...and it was cheaper than a refurbished one from apple with lesser specs. Either way, I don't blame you for the extra caution.
