Thank you for watching, liking, commenting, sharing, and subscribing right now. Well, as you may have seen from the earlier videos that we've recorded tonight, uh I'm going to go ahead and get a computer that can run both Mac OS 10 and Windows. Uh I threw it out there as a challenge to other OEMs in a in a another uh video in in this series uh to if they can send a review unit, I'd love to compare uh the MacBook Pro that I'm about to order to the one that they have.
Uh and granted, it's not just about the hardware and the software, it's about the service, too. You got to remember that. Okay, just to recap all the other videos that we've recorded in the series, I'm you have got to pardon.
I'm on my 14th glass of ordering juice here. Or I guess I could call it apple juice. All right.
So, uh, let's see here. Gonna try to see what chat's saying here. Let me zoom.
Oops. Crud. I want to zoom in on chat a bit.
See what they're saying. Buying juice. Okay.
Yeah. Uh, Mac, the new MacBook Pro. They just released them here.
I want to go with a 15-inch, but let's see. Uh, here tech specs, blah blah blah blah blah. Buy now.
It's not a Cabernet. It's a box. That is the type of wine is a box.
I just got a MacBook Air. Oh god. A 17inch MacBook Air.
Oh god. Um, all right. So, I've got two choices right up front here.
And I know I you probably can't see. And this is why, by the way, one of the reasons why I'm ordering this, in case you didn't watch the other videos and you're too lazy to look, uh, is because I'm looking for an HD webcam uh, built into the computer. Uh, high quality stuff, good service, good support, good hardware.
Uh, and no one really could give me something that, uh, could compete, unfortunately, that could, you know, really work well. SSD is required. All right.
So, we've got a 15-in 2. 0 0 gigahertz or a 15-inch 2. 2 GHz.
Which one? I'm asking the chat at live. parillo.
com constantly running here. What do I want? Do I want the 2 gigahertz or the 2.
2 2. 2 2. 2 2.
2 2 Oh, seems like 2. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Jesus.
Calm down. Right. 2.
2. Going with the Core i7. Uh 2.
2 K. Okay. I'm going 2.
I got you, man. God. Jeez.
I got to wait for the lag. 4 gigs of RAM. Oo, at 1.
3 GHz. Nice. Uh, 750 GB uh, hard drive.
I don't know about that one. Actually, I may go SSD here. Intel HD graphics.
Oh, but it must have the swappable because it's AMD Radeon HD. Love AMD. Built-in battery.
Ships within 24 hours. Free shipping. Awesome.
I'm going to need financing for this. God, it's kind of pricey, but you know, considering how much videos I do. Okay, let me ask you this.
Let me ask you this. Would you rather me produce higher quality video on YouTube? I need it to be convenient for me because video processing takes a long time.
Okay. So, the next time you complain about a lowquality video, I'm just going to have to remind you that it was done because it was easy to do. Right now, Kevin or Kevin or Kevoc in the chat is recording the screen because Matt's helping encode another video that we're doing uh with CBN or CBN.
It's a completely different network. CBS uh what's happening or wait what's trending. It's one of the two.
I just started doing it. You'll have to pardon me. Uh hopefully they won't get too upset.
I doubt they'll watch this. Uh let's go ahead and select this one. Now we get the white screen.
Oh no, it's gray and white. Uh, okay. So, let me zoom out because I have to be able to see this.
Uh oh. Uh oh. Oh, we got big problems here.
We got huge freaking problems. One, I'm going to need to find a sponsor to offset these costs. Anybody interested?
Anybody? Anybody? That's the first problem.
Second problem is I now I got to choose between a 2. 2 quadcore Intel Core i7 or a 2. 3 quadcore Intel Core i7.
So, do I go 2. 2 or 2. 3?
I thought Apple was supposed to make this easy. What do I get? I'm asking the chat.
I'm asking the chat. You got see if you wanted to participate now. Commenting in the video.
Really does you no good. You should have been paying attention in Twitter or Facebook or wherever I was updating. Uh I'm seeing a lot 2.
3s. Oh, it's a lot faster. Says goooo.
It's a great name, by the way. That's what I that's what I call Google for short. Hey, Google.
It doesn't really like that I call it goooo. kind of every time I call it Google, it sends me to Bing. I love Bing.
Love the iPad app. Uh, in fact, the Bing iPad app does Bing better than Bing. com does Bing.
FYI, in the the reviews, uh, tell no lie. Uh, okay, fine. 2.
3 GHz. You guys just cost me 250 bones. Do they still call it bones, by the way?
Did I just date myself? Memory. Memory.
Oh, four gigs is is uh you know that's part of the price. But if I go to eight gigs, it's only 200 more. I got Hey, dude.
I have to I don't want the Big Mac. This has to be portable. That was the Remember, did you watch the other videos that we recorded or are you just like coming in late, dude?
Eight. Seriously, I was honestly I'm not kidding. I was thinking of going four.
Why would I go eight? Eight gigs is not a ton faster. And I agree with Pango.
$200 for eight gigs is a waste. I agree. I don't think I need uh eight eight gigs.
I I really don't, guys. I really don't. No, Matt.
I don't think you need eight gigs for video. I think four gigs should be fine, especially for a notebook. See, I'm having these debates here with the the chat.
I'm looking at the chat room here. You can see it in the video feed. I think four is fine.
Honestly, I can save 200 bucks. Poops Tech. Another classic community member.
Ate to be safe. Chris likes men. You're right.
I do. But unfortunately, I don't like you. You're not the kind of guy I like.
Really? I I don't. And unfortunately, uh my girlfriend would would uh would would agree with me.
She doesn't like you either. She doesn't even know you. She doesn't like you.
Yeah. I'm going to I think I I think I'm going to stick with the four. I'm going to stick with the four, guys.
Uh so Oh, shoot. Four gigs. I I'll be fine.
I'm not going to be four is fine, dude. Why would I need eight gigs of RAM? Um especially in a notebook where all I'm doing is processing video and just basic processing stuff.
Uh okay, so here's the bigger question, right? And I've already know kind of where I'm going here. I know what I want, which way I want to go.
I can either go with an SATA drive 5400 7200 and have a lot of capac high capacity or I can go with an SSD. And you know what? If Chris were to actually date himself, people would watch it.
Yeah, they would. Be pathetic, but they'd watch it. Actually, I don't know what would be more pathetic, me dating myself or people watching me dating myself.
Two levels of patheticism. Patheticness. SSD.
Dude, I'm sorry. I'm seeing more SSDs. I You know what?
I tell you what. I got an SSD in this MacBook Pro sponsored by PC Pit Stop. I got an SSD is installed by Samsung on my Mac Pro.
Uh I got an SSD in the MacBook Air. Uh and I got to tell you, I got to tell you, I love SSD. I love it for speed.
In fact, I would go as far as to say you get a faster computer by buying an SSD than you would by buying more RAM. So, I'm saving 500 or not saving saving $200 really by not buying the upgrade to RAM. Uh, so I'm going to get an SSD.
Now, this is going to be for just basic video processing stuff. I'm not really going to put a lot of stuff on there. Do I go with a 128 or 256?
128 or 256. The difference is pretty big. $100 versus 500.
128. I'm not going to go with 512. I think that'd be overkill for this particular computer and its needs.
You know, you know, you know what? I think I'm going to go with a 128. No, not 256.
Not a 256. 128. That's all I'm going to need cuz all I'm going to do is really what I need it for is the HD webcam portable all-in-one.
Perfect. Great support. It works.
It It Windows uh Mac OS 10 allin-one. I I I would rather have I I I don't think I'm going to hit 128 cuz I'm not going to put a lot of stuff on it. The videos are going to be on there and then they're going to moved off.
So 128 that saves me $400 from an upgrade plus the $200 that I save from the 8 gig upgrade. I'm not saying I save money. I'm just saying that I'm cutting corners, right?
I'm trying to think about how I'm going to use it here. I'm giving you my process. Whoa.
Did someone say, "Why would you buy SSD? It's not that great. " Oh, you're on crack or something, dude.
Cuz anybody who's ever used a computer that has SSD knows you become spoiled. Um, I'm sorry. I was reading a tweet there on my uh phone.
Display. Okay, now this is where I'm not going to cut corners. Okay, I hate to tell you.
MacBook Pro 15inch in uh glossy widescreen display or high res glossy versus anti-glare. I already know what I'm going to get. MacBook Pro 15-inch high-res glossy widescreen display honestly because number one uh the glare anti-glare.
Sorry if you can't see that. And I know it's kind of hard to to see, especially the way I'm uh the way Kevin is recording this video now. Uh I I had matte I I I gone glossy now uh with most my screens and I'm happy.
This this is a matte screen. That's a glossy screen. That's a glossy screen.
I got matte screens over there. I've got glossy screens over there. I mean, I'm happy honestly with glossy.
Doesn't bother me at all. Very the contrast. Very sharp.
Very sharp. Love it. Uh so I am going to stick with a high res display.
I love high-res. Give me more pixels, dude. More pixels for this uh for the screen size.
Not going with a 17inch be overkill. Scrolling down. Apple display.
None. Keyboard. Bad.
Already comes with a backlit keyboard. Uh I work already have it. Love it.
Aperture 3, have it. Don't like it. Final Cut Express, hate it.
Logic Express 9, don't use it. Wouldn't use it. FileMaker works okay, but I already have it.
I have Bento. Actually, I've done a video on Bento. Great database.
All database tools should be built like Bento. Period. On any platform, Bento is awesome, including iOS.
They've got a great iPad app if you haven't looked at it. Microsoft Office, Apple Care. Now, this is where it becomes important.
It's not Bento, it's Bento. Uh, Apple Care. Uh, let's go with Apple Care.
Now, granted, it's going to be an additional Oh, it's auto enroll. Okay. So, I say it's 349, but when you travel with something and you move things around, something can happen.
And I tell you, I bought Apple Car and and it's only not I've not been able to use it once and that's because the screen got shattered. Wasn't my fault. I don't know how it happened.
Someone broke a screen. Uh either way, I've been very very happy. God, maybe I need more ordering juice.
I keep saying period. Do you think I need to throw in more commas or semicolons in there? You're correcting my punctuation.
Wilson Tech1. That was That was a pointless tweet. I hate people who reply on Twitter and don't give context.
I love you, Lamar, but I have no idea what the hell you're asking. He just says Empire Avenue. That's it.
Okay. Uh one to one. I don't need that.
That kind of sounds dirty. Uh, oh, by the way, did you realize that Apple kicked me out of their affiliate program? So, I never I don't make any money off of any apples that you buy.
They kicked me out. True story. They kicked me out.
They said, "You know what? You're not a big enough fanboy. Get out.
" Okay. Still buying one. It's a good computer.
Uh, that's the oneonone. Uh, that was my best mini display port to DVI adapter. I already have one.
Do not need another. Mini display port to dual link DVI adapter. Already have one.
Don't need another display port to probably VGA. Ah, look at that. VGA.
Don't need it. Already have one. God dang.
How many freaking adapters do they have? Moshi mini DP to HDMI adapter. Now this I don't have.
Oh. Oh, that's nice. Oh, I need that.
Okay, wait. 34 bucks. That sounds like a pretty good price.
Hey guys, could you run a quick price check on this before I order it? The Moshi Mini DP to HDMI adapter because I think I'm going to get it. That's actually sounds like a good price.
I'd probably buy that on Amazon anyway. $34. 95 if I if you can find a better price on Amazon.
I don't care about any other website. I order most my stuff through Amazon. If you can find a better price on Amazon, same price.
See what I'm saying? People say that Apple's overpriced. They really offer the same prices for the most part.
Uh, okay. So, I'm going to get that one because I don't have the mini DP HDMI. That's awesome.
I didn't even know they made one of those. About 30. Ah, it's convenience.
I'll just get it all online one. Really? 30 bucks?
Okay, fine. I'm not going to get it. I'll save five bucks.
None. Uh, then Mag Safe airline adapter. Already have one.
See, that's the nice thing about Apple is you don't have to upgrade a lot of your accessories once you have them. Apple remote. I never use it.
I already have one. 19 bucks. Okay, dude.
That's overpriced for the Apple remote. Uh, plus the iPhone works just as well. Buy a printer.
Uh, Epson. Epson. Epson.
No, no, no, no, no, no. Go. Where the hell?
Hang on just a second. I've got the hiccups and I got to I where I'm lost on this page. Oh, there we go.
So, as configured with the support support and everything, we have I You know what? You have to be drinking Grape Juice Plus to order one of these things. Don't worry, I got uh I'm going to get the other adapter on Amazon.
You know what? If you need financing options to buy a laptop, don't buy the laptop. Just telling you right now.
Uggh. What Ugg? Kevin, hang on.
Kevin says uggh. I don't know why Kevin says uggh. Hang on just a second.
I got to wait. Kevin's the one who's recording this video. So if he says ugg, I don't know why he says ugg.
Oh, it's fine. You freaked me out there for a second. I thought you were just ugging because you were saying no, don't do it.
Buy the 17 inch. Oh, the price. I know, dude.
I know. I got to find a sponsor. I still got to give away a freaking iPad.
I'm still waiting to give away the old MacBook. Remember when we get 50,000 likes on the Facebook fan page, uh facebook. com/krisparillo?
I'm giving away my classic MacBook. Still not there. Not even close.
Join us or die. That's an empty thread. I'm not actually going to kill you.
Uh ships one to three business days. Free shipping. Add to cart.
Here's the thing. It's It's convenience. It is.
And I'm I'm likely going to pass these other MacBooks to other people. That's just the way it is. Uh I donate.
Uh I do giveaways. I uh um I give to family members who who don't necessarily have the same type of career that I have. So I've I share these experiences with people uh who I know and love.
Sometimes people who I don't know and likely hate me, like my family. Uh there we go. Oh.
Uh apparently I had already uh had something. Oops. Crap.
I don't want that. I need to remove. So, I had an earlier uh version when I was uh uh trying to uh compare prices.
I had an earlier version of the configuration in my shopping cart. Uh either way, um there we go. Uh now, after everything's said and done, I'm going to order it.
Uh I I'll have to log in and everything. I don't want to Do you guys want Do you guys want to see me order it in the video? Is it really that interesting to see me order?
Oh, I was going to order it. No. Surprise, surprise, surprise.
Again, I'm asking all PC OAMs if they want to send something that I can compare headto-head, I'd be more than happy to. Just saying. Uh 15-inch MacBook Pro.
I configured it the way I want it. Apple Care, check out now. It's going to ask me to log in.
Okay. Uh I I use the same password everywhere I go. I use funky boy is a big good guy uh who loves exclamation mark.
Uh, eating things. That's my password if you want to if you ever want to know. I don't want to use a capital letter in there somewhere.
Oh, that's the trick. Ah, there's no Okay. Uh, got to sign in.
Why do I need to save Apple's password? One password. Love that utility.
Um, crossplatform now. Works on Windows, Mac OS 10, and iOS devices. Okay, we got our credit card information stored.
It's going to be shipped to the business address uh 15-inch MacBook Pro. The thing that added a lot of cost was that that uh the support at without the support would have been 26. But for a quality computer, sol like everything's solid state, topofthe line, highdeinition webcam, etc.
Uh wait, it it has a FaceTime HD on there right now. Okay. Cuz I hope to God if not I'm going to have to send it back.
I'll be very upset. So, you have to stay tuned for the unboxing because uh here we go uh after tax. Yes.
Going to go ahead and place the order now. And a couple seconds time. Take a sip of the ordering juice.
Cannot wait to see which PC OEMs uh return my call to action and send me something to compare this against. I'm calling out. I'm asking for review units, that's all.
And then I I want to be able to turn those review units back to the community. So there you go. If you want to get some uh buzz going, would you guys would you wouldn't turn out a free computer, would you?
That's what I'm trying to I'm trying to set it up for you. Yo. All right.
It's ordered. Uh I've got it. It's on its way.
I am good to go. And pretty soon you will see theoretically more higher quality videos from me because it'll be easier for me to do. I'm trying to save time.
Like I have to waste a half hour of my life recording the video, getting it right, getting the camera set up right, uh recording it, copying it away off of the uh off the the uh whatever device onto the computer, synchronizing it. It that adds up. And imagine how much time here's for all you mathematical geniuses.
You guys can use Wolf Ram Alpha if you want. How much time would I save if I saved a half hour of my life every day for a year? How much time?
That's 30 minutes every day for a year. So that's 365 days. So So it'd be 30 * 365.
How many minutes is that? Because that's honestly that much time plus. So not 30.
Dude, come on. I'm not a math major. Cool guy 123.
If that is your real name, I would be saving by getting this. I'm saving myself 183 hours potentially. Is a lot.
I I can't do the math in my head. I kind of suck at that. Plus leap year.
Don't forget leap year. Good year by the way. The leap year.
I tend to skip over it though. Either way, uh pretty soon we will be seeing an unboxing here at some point. See, there we go.
1,095 minutes of my life is going to be saved by processing video differently. So, is it worth the money? Absolutely.
Because I don't want to be frustrated. I just want to do more high quality videos. And that's what you want, honestly, because I'm sick and tired of seeing that.
Oh, 240p. Oh, 240. Wow, low quality video.
Wow, it's only 360p. Wow, it's only 420p. I can't even I I I can't even pee.
240p. I I I can't even poop it. And with that, why don't you stay tuned for the unboxing?
