In this edition of Unboxing Live, we’re going to unbox the new 13-inch MacBook Pro, yes, the new 13-inch MacBook Pro. So please, stay tuned with the unboxing of the 13-inch MacBook Pro after this.
Everyone, welcome to Unboxing Live, my name is Michael Manna and this is the show that gives you vicarious thrills through opening new gear and as you could see, this is an unboxing video which I've already messed up a tape so I–having confuse my cool keys to open, so its technically open but not unboxed yet. So, we’re going to unbox it right now as per orders from my boss Andru Edwards from gearlive.com. So, here we go, we have the MacBook Pro. This is a 13-inch MacBook Pro, this is the base model, 226 Giga Hertz model. It have upgraded the RAM and the hard drive not as the -- but I bought it from maxsales.com, excellent site. So, this thing is very nice.
And as you can see, we’ll start with the actual ports. It has obviously the power adapter, has Ethernet, Firewire 800 is back in this edition of the MacBooks/MacBook Pro for the 13-inch model, so thank God for that. That was really disappointing with USB 2 taking away Firewire 800. So the Firewire 800 like I said made this play port to USBs and brand new SD Card slot, very good for people like me, they're shooting, what I'm shooting right now. AVCHD Camcorder, SD Cards, very good stuff. It also has the headphone jack which doubles the–as digital and analog audio. I know for sure digital, they have an analog in for that. And of course you have the battery and its actually charged up, and its six right here so that’s cool. Go to the other side, obviously has the 8x SuperDrive and also has the infrared thing I think for -- and lets take it open and see what it looks like inside.
Open it up, you have the keyboard, this little thing right there and I'm not going to power the song up because I want to actually install the 500Gig hard drive and 4gigs RAM, it has already have the OS applications, so everything from the unit, my MacBook that I bought about two weeks ago. They were nice enough at the Apple Store to return that and get this–I did get a restocking fee but that’s well worth it because this model here is actually cheaper than the Unibody. This is 1199 for this model. Next model up is 253Giga Hertz, 4gigs of RAM, 258 hard drive for 1499.
Another thing to note about this, backlit keyboard, base model, Unibody did not have that. This base model, a hundred dollar cheaper has the SC Card slot, Firewire 800 and also backlit keyboard. Excellent buy so I can’t wait to start using this and do some review updates. But for everybody here on Unboxing Live and gearlive.com, thank you and best of luck in all of your new MacBook Pro endeavors.
