    • @Noah Boock yeah I always would like to build a desktop pc to personalize it to my specifications but I’m shure it may cost alot.

    • chris johnson For a good one, it would probably be around $600-700 with the prime day deals. I haven’t been following PC components recently but from what I know, they’re getting better for less price

    • chris johnson The professor os an i5 but last years model so I’m other words, this years desktop version i3. The main reason people use Mac OS is because the speed and simplicity of how it runs.

  1. What ya’ll think about this new machine? It’s a decent little laptop imo. This is a great entry level product, but the GPU is obviously a big bottleneck.

  2. I want to buy a new Macbook Pro, but won’t as long as that butterfly keyboard exists. The price is pretty good, considering my 2004 iBook featuring wifi launched at the same price LOL.

    • apple has decided to remove the butterfly keyboard and switch to the scissor version
      so maybe wait

  3. Great machine for sure. Im currently using my Late 2013 Retina MacBook pro on the daily, i love all the ports and smooth OS functionality 6 years later.

  4. The Touch bar was the worst addition apple has made to any device ever. No one wants to take their finger off the keyboard to focus on the ever changing soft keys. The flat part of the laptop is the tactile area. If it is not tactile, it doesn’t go here. My $0.02.

  5. I don’t know how Apple finds the Touchbar so useful when they themselves took out the “Update” button displayed on it when accessing the Mac AppStore and you have updates available. They, for some reason, removed this.

  6. That Touch Bar is the biggest rip off. Apple rather sell you a shiny bar rather than SSD storage. 128GBs is very pro

    • i like the touch bar provides extra functionality for me and i if u use bettertouchtool its even better

  7. I appreciate you. The video aligns perfectly with the notch in my XS Max. Just thought I’d thank you for that. Even if it wasn’t intentional.

  8. The touchbar is just a partial touchscreen design that lacks the full touchscreen functionality…

    • I don’t know if you really want the touch screen though. When the laptop starts to get old, you can start experiencing ghosting. It’s annoying as hell.

  9. Which has a faster SSD? The 13inch 2019 baseline macbook pro or a 13 inch nontouchbar 2017 macbook pro?
