Plus 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:25.480 Your tech questions Answered. 0:00:25.960 --> 0:00:26.600 What's going on? 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.400 I Richdemiro and this is Rich on Tech, the podcast 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:30.960 where I talk about the tech stuff I. 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:32.199 Think you should know about. 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.800 It's also the place right answer the questions that you 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.840 send me. I'm the tech reporter at KTLA Channel five 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:43.800 in Los Angeles. Welcome to the folks watching on Facebook 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.159 Live right now. Sometimes I do it on Facebook Live, 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.479 Sometimes I don't. It just depends how I'm feeling that day. 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.280 If I'm inspired to put it on Facebook, I will. 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:54.680 But a lot of people when they're watching on Facebook 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.120 are like, what's going on here? Like what's this guy 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.840 talking about? Like who's this guy in my feed? So 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.520 it happens. So a couple things this week, Big big 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:08.000 tech week. Oh my gosh, so many events. We had 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:11.400 an event on Monday for Apple Virtual of course, and 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.920 we had an event on Tuesday for what was the 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.320 second one? Then it was Google, and then the third 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:18.319 one was Samsung. 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:19.920 Not so much. I'll be honest. 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:21.560 I didn't really have to tune into that one because 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.399 I kind of knew what it was and it's interesting, 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.520 but it's not as groundbreaking as the gadgets we saw 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.400 from the other ones. But I did do something fun 0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.280 over the weekend. I went to Irvine, California. If you've 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:39.319 never been, I highly recommend. It's a totally underrated place. 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:40.080 I mean, it's beautiful. 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.119 It's like, actually like number eleven best place to live 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.800 in America. And I've been trying to convince my wife 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.560 to move there, but she won't have it. She's from La, 0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.120 so she wants to stay in the La proper. But 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:54.240 it is so nice. It's so clean, everything's so new. 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.920 They actually have a lot of tech companies down there. 0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:01.480 We went to a place near the Irvine Spectrum Mall, 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:04.040 which is it was like a family reunion kind of thing. 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.880 So we're meeting up with a bunch of people. We 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.399 all stay at the Marriott. It was fantastic. If you've 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:10.680 listened to me on the show, I don't know I've 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.320 ever talked about this, but I've always been a Hilton 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.880 person and I've always pooh pooed Marriotts. I don't know 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.400 why the Marriotte was so nice and it was like 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.440 just a basic hotel, and so now I think I 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:25.920 got to switch my allegiances to the Marriott. But I 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.160 try not to play the points game too much. I 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.720 really don't because I don't want to get like suckered 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.640 into like all these different little schemes that these marketers 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.400 do with the points. So I do try to like 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:39.320 stay I got. I did get suckered in with Hilton. 0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:42.960 But anyway, long story short, Marriott was nice, Irvine was nice. 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:43.520 And over the. 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.600 Weekend I tested out these ray band stories. These are 0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:53.000 sunglasses from ray Ban and Facebook, and they have little 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:55.480 cameras in them and they allow you to record things 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.800 as you walk around. You can record video, you can 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.680 take pictures. And I had a blast with these things 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.360 testing them out. I've got some thoughts. I'll put them 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.280 in a future TV segment, But the bottom line is 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:10.920 these sunglasses have gotten so close to actual just regular 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.040 sunglasses that you can put on and kind of forget 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.520 that there's a camera in there except for battery life 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.440 and transferring all the pictures. That it is a very 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.440 compelling new way to capture video and pictures. And I 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.000 don't know if it's there just yet, but I will 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.480 say it's pretty phenomenal what they were able to do 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:32.320 in a form factor that is pretty much typical sunglasses. 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.640 They're just a little bit thicker on the edges. But 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:36.360 I had a lot of fun. 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.040 The one thing I noticed about that is that I 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:41.200 bounce around a lot, like when I walk, your video 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.440 is going to be very shaky. And you also look 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.000 around a lot in different places. So when you do that, 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:47.960 your video is just kind of all over the place. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.480 So it kind of it takes a bit to realize 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.080 that you're taking a video and you should stay in 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.720 one place. But that was really cool. Let's just get 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.600 into the top story of the week. I guess this 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.240 debate what the top story is. It could be the pixel, 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.240 it could be the MacBooks. But because the pixel, well 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:08.440 I don't know. I'm gonna start with with Google because 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.720 I've been talking about this on the podcast for so long. 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.360 How I can't wait to switch to this pixel? And 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.080 I got to say number one, I'm just gonna get 0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.800 this out there. Google really just kind of like threw 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.720 me under the bus with this. I don't know why. 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:22.480 I don't know what I did to Google. I don't 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.039 know what I said, maybe my last review of the 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.120 I need to look at my review of the Pixel 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:31.000 five and see what I said, because they just exed me. 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:36.479 They did not communicate with me about this press conference. 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.360 They did not send me anything. They did not send 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.200 me the phones to review. And when I say they 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.760 didn't send me the phones to review, I'm not kidding. 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.839 They sent a pair of Pixels to every single person 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.120 that has a YouTube account. It seems so every single 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.279 person that I see on my Twitter timeline has a 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:57.839 gift from Google. Thank you Pixel, Thank you Pixel, Thank 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.799 you Google. I mean, people that don't even review review phones, 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.120 people that have never even used a Pixel are getting these. 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.480 They're given them out like candy. And here me, someone 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:10.040 who runs a national tech segment, did not get one 0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.360 to review for it. Now I had to ask them 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.640 and they are like, well, well, we'll look at your 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.240 request and see what we think and get back to you. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:18.760 So I don't know. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:20.640 And this was a phone that I actually wanted to 0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.440 purchase for myself to buy as my new phone. But 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:26.839 now I'm not so sure because I'm like, what's Google 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:31.680 hiding here? Okay, here's what I said. Google's latest Pixel smartphones, 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.800 excellent camera and a decent price, but not as exciting 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:39.440 as competitors, So I think that's pretty fair. And then 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.560 I went through and kind of like, you know, talked 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:45.280 about the rest of this stuff. I mean, I even 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.560 said I would recommend the four A five G for 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.960 most people at five hundred bucks. So I don't know anyway, 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.359 So that's besides the point. Let's talk about what the 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.080 Pixel is all about. You know, the Pixel is all 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.880 about a great camera, great software. But now Google is 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.440 adding their own profit cesser into the mix. They call 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.200 it Tensor, and they're saying it's going to be much 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.120 more powerful this time around. And that was really what 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:10.240 was lacking in the Pixels of years past, is that 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.880 it never felt like a very powerful phone. In fact, 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.880 they admitted it in their keynote. They said, we always 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:20.000 built the software around basically not very good hardware, like 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.760 low powered hardware, and now, for the first time, we 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.280 get to build software around high powered hardware, and it 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.400 just opens up a whole bunch of stuff. So Number one, 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.039 the prices on these phones are pretty amazing. Six hundred 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.760 bucks for the standard one and then nine hundred for 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.479 the Pro, which has a bigger screen, faster refresh rate. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.640 But the camera set up is pretty identical, except the 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.520 Pro has a zoom camera whereas the standard one does not, 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.719 and it's got this weird design They call it a 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:47.800 camera bar, but it's just as weird, like shelf on 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:49.240 the back of the phone for the camera. 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:50.679 I think it's kind of odd. 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.800 I like much more symmetrical phones, and I also don't 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.520 like phones where the edges taper off, so I've gotten 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:59.640 really used to how the iPhone has a nice blocky 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.800 feel these days, and I think it's like the perfect 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.240 phone design. So I'm not sure that I'll like this 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:08.640 design even so. There Google, They say the Pixel six 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.960 Pro is inspired by the finishes you see in luxury 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.520 jewelry and watches. They do kind of a fun thing 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.520 with some of the colors, you know, it's got Android 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.600 twelve on it, and this big thing about material you 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.960 where it kind of like matches the whole theme of 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.280 the phone to your wallpaper. That is not a selling 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.880 point to me, but it's cool. They've also extended the 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:34.040 security support update to five years now. That's a pretty 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:35.960 big win in my book, because that means if you 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.880 purchase this phone, you can pretty much use this thing 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:41.840 for five years. If you're a casual, average user that 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.960 just wants a nice phone that takes great pictures. Five years, 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:48.320 that's do the math. That's a great investment. It says 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.640 they capture one hundred and fifty percent more light compared 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:54.240 to the Pixel five, four times optical zoom up to 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.680 twenty times zoom with their super res The front camera 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.200 records four K video. It's got this magic eraser feature 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:05.239 that automatically deletes things from your pictures. It's got various 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.720 modes to like help you take pictures of your kids 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.520 without them, you know, having blurry faces or whatever. They 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.640 also tweak the camera so that it gets appropriate and 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.840 proper skin tones for all skin types, not just one 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:19.720 group of people. 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:20.600 So that's nice. 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:26.360 Let's see what else. Pixel six oh improves speech recognition. 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:26.880 This is big. 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.000 You know, Google's done a lot of work with AI 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.360 when it comes to speech recognition, Google Translate, so a 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.360 lot of that is built into this. And we know 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.960 that the voice recognition on Android is way better than 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.079 the voice recognition on iPhone. Now, it's gotten a lot 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:43.920 better on iPhone over the past couple of years. I'll 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:48.000 give it that but Siri absolutely cannot handle anything very 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:52.320 complex proper names business names. Google takes a lot of 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.439 different cues from like let's say you say you want 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:57.800 to call business. It will look at like where you're 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.840 located and know that if you say Al's car shop, 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.040 it knows that you want the Al's car shop near 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.800 you wherever you are, and not just some random place 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:07.720 like I've asked serious stuff and she'll find stuff like 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:10.360 thousands of miles away that makes no sense. 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:12.800 Maybe it's gotten a little better. 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.880 It also has all the Google smarts, like for phone calls, 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.360 like it'll tell you how long to wait or wait 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.920 times are at a big business before you call. It 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.720 will decode phone trees on your phone screen so that 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.760 if it says tap one for this, tap two for that, 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.080 it'll show that on your screen. It's got a lot 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.520 of live translate features which work in I know, Japanese 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:40.080 and a couple other languages offline, which is really oh, English, French, German, Italian, 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.840 and Japanese. So that's really cool. You can get all 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:47.120 those language interpretations done even offline, which is really nice 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.319 in some cases, like the first time I ever went 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.559 to Japan, what a nightmare. It was because my phone 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:57.240 didn't work and everything was just tough. And nowadays everything 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.040 works everywhere that I've seen and been. But anyway, but 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:02.640 the translation stuff is pretty. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:03.240 Nice, all right. 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:05.800 So six hundred dollars for the standard, nine hundred for 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.839 the pro. They're in stores on October twenty eighth. I'll 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.040 probably just walk over to Target and pick up one 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.800 of these things. Even if I don't end up keeping it, 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.680 I can always give it to my mom because she's 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.240 a Pixel user and I usually get her a pixel anyway, 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.560 So if I hate this thing, I'll just give it 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.600 to her. But I always like to have an Android 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.760 phone to use, and I think that this phone's gonna 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:29.520 be great. Right now, they have this weird embargo going 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.040 with all the people that they sent the phone to 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.640 that where they can't show pictures from the phone. So 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.000 this is a phone that's known for amazing pictures, and 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.240 Google told all ten thousand people that it sent free 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:44.840 phones to don't post any pictures from this phone. That's weird. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.360 Why did they do that, I don't know. So October 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.360 twenty eighth will get it in stores, and we'll probably 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.160 get a better idea once the embargo lifts and people 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:56.240 can actually post stuff from. 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:57.880 This phone and about this phone. 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.840 All right, let's get to the first question of the day. 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.400 Susie says, I recently read an article that the much 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.440 anticipated iPad Mini six has a jelly roll screen issue. 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:11.520 Sounds delicious to me. 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.839 The article also indicated that Apple has no plans to 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:18.400 fix the problem, probably because it's not a problem. I 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.640 also really enjoy having a per size iPad that I 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.719 can carry with me. But I'm gonna quandary over purchasing 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.360 this device with a known scrolling problem. My Mini four 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.760 is exhibiting some issues, and I don't know how much 0:11:29.760 --> 0:11:32.360 longer it can perform. What would you suggest making the 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.600 purchase waiting alternative device. Thank you for any help you 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.120 can offer, Susie, And Vice Salia, Vice Salia. I was 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:42.240 just there in Vice Salia, Susie, I could have said 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:46.000 hi and answered your question in person. Susie, here's my 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.760 thoughts on this. Just ignore the jelly roll issue. I 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:53.880 doubt it's a big deal. I just it's one of 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:58.360 these things where let me see what so I mean, 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.000 it's one of these things where who came. 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:01.360 Up with it? 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.120 Okay, so, where did the jelly roll, so it can 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:08.080 it originated. Okay, the issue was not mentioned in any 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:12.480 iPad reviews, according to Eymore, but it was first reported 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.800 by The Verge, and then Reddit has latched on and 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.280 saying there's a bunch of people who you know, experience 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:22.120 the same issue. And let me look at the Reddit 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:26.000 comments real quick, ninety four comments. So I think, Susie, 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.520 this is a whole bunch of don't worry about it. 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:32.160 It's not a big issue. Now here's my recommendation. Go 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.040 to the Apple Store. You can pick up one of 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.040 these little iPad minis and feel it and go to 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.480 a website that you would typically go to. Go to 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.640 a website with a long article, scroll through. 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:44.760 The jelly effect. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.440 The jelly roll effect is like when they said, like 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.960 one side of the screen kind of goes up and 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.000 it looks like it's advancing faster than the other side. 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.200 I don't we've heard about this before with all kinds 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.280 of phones, but I think at the end of the day, 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.480 it's maybe people getting used to a new display. 0:12:59.520 --> 0:12:59.880 I don't know. 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.160 But the reality is you can go into the Apple Store, 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.000 go to a bunch of websites, play with this thing. 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:08.640 See if you notice anything. If you don't notice anything, 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:12.040 you're gonna be just fine. I'm sure this. I'm not 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:14.439 one hundred percent sure because sometimes with Apple stuff comes 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:17.160 out later and later, but I have a feeling that 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:20.720 it will probably be just fine. So I say, go 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.920 get the iPad Mini. I've got my eyes on one 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.080 of these things. I'd like to get one as well. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:26.800 They're so nice. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.960 I went too the Apple Store at the Irvine Spectrum 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.720 and it was just it's so amazing that it's just 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:35.559 how lively the Apple Store is. You go into any 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.080 other store in the mall and yeah, there's a couple 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:38.760 of people here and there or whatever, but you go 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.600 into the Apple Store and it's just like alive. There's 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.360 so many people and they're all doing something, and there's 0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.920 so many people there to help you. We went into 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:49.160 Chipotle last night and for dinner, which, by the way, 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.160 the brisket was delicious, and I've wanted to try that 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.560 for a while. But I'm telling you, the place was 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.680 like it felt like I was on life it was 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:00.240 on life support. There's like three people working the entire place. 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:02.480 And I mean, we've seen this over and over with 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.080 a lot of places where it's just tough to get 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.360 help right now, but the Apple store doesn't have that problem. 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.360 There were so many people everywhere I turned, Hey can 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:10.800 I help you? 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:11.160 Hey? 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:12.920 Can I help you? Can I help you? Can I 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:13.160 help you? 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:14.400 And I'm like, Wow, this is amazing. 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:19.440 Okay, so let's talk about the MacBook pros. These are 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:23.040 the new highly anticipated computers. I know, just speaking for 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.640 myself because I want to get one. But I was 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.920 waiting for the M one chip to come out on 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.280 when I bought my MacBook Pro, but it didn't. So 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.960 I'm glad I didn't wait, because it was like two 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.440 years ago that I bought this computer. I would have 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:38.880 been waiting a long time. But now they've got the 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.920 MacBook Pro fourteen and sixteen inch. They've got two new processors, 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.240 the M one Pro and the M one Max. And 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.320 bottom line, I'm not going to spend a whole bunch 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.440 of time on specs, but these are processors that Apple 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:55.280 has ditched Intel to make their own processors. They started 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.720 with the M one last year and it got great reviews. 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.560 People went nuts over it. Now they're coming out with 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:05.760 even higher, higher end versions of this processor, the Pro 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.800 and the Max, which supposedly are gonna be even better, 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:10.960 and I'm sure they are, because I don't think there's 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.280 one reviewer that didn't say the M one was amazing. 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.800 So the fourteen and sixteen inch MacBook Pros, they've got 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:18.240 a new. 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:20.160 Display with a higher refresh rate. 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:24.200 They've got a FaceTime HD camera, so now the cameras 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.800 are actually upgraded, or the camera, I should say. Let's 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.080 see what else. It's got a bunch of ports on it. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:35.680 So you've got Thunderbolt three, Thunderbolt four ports, an SDXC 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:40.200 card slot, HDMI port, and mag Safe three and of 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:42.680 course a headphone jack. And the mag Saf three is 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.680 the old mag Safe coming back. So on these laptops. 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.520 Apple took everything away in the last couple of years, 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:50.600 and now they've brought it all back, all the features 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:53.800 that the pros wanted, and so I'm glad they listened 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:57.480 to people. Let's see what else. I forgot to mention something. 0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:01.280 I've got the ports. Oh yeah, touchbar. Touch bar is gone. 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.880 Now this is a feature that I did not I 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.840 begrudgingly bought my laptop with the touch bar on it, 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.600 and I did not want the touch bar, but to 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.640 get the features that I wanted in my computer. I 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.960 had to get the touch bar, and so I got it. 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.520 I've never used it. It's horrible, and I am so 0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.240 glad it's gone with real keys now because there was 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.160 just no use for it. It didn't make sense for 0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:26.480 me to have this thing on my computer. Clearly I 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.160 was not I was with a lot of other people. 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:29.880 On that one. 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.560 That's basically all you need to know about the MacBook pros. 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.120 I mean, obviously, if you're gonna get one of these, 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.800 you're gonna look into all the dimensions of it and 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:38.560 exactly what it can do and. 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:39.840 All of the specs. 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.120 But it's two thousand dollars starting price for the fourteen inch, 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.200 twenty five hundred for the sixteen inch. And don't forget 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.640 that there are education prices on these things, so if 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.400 you're a student or you're in that world, you can 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.760 get it as low as eighteen fifty for the fourteen 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:58.080 inch and twenty three hundred for the bigger sixteen inch. 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:00.600 But here's the thing. I don't say this all lightly. 0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:03.240 This is a lot of money, but if you're buying 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:06.560 a pro computer, I call it the money maker, because 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.440 this computer is what enables me to make a living 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.840 and it's what I use every day. 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:16.280 I rely on it. It's it's my baby. 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.959 And honestly, I could get a work issued computer if 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:21.840 I wanted, but I don't want it. I want this. 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:24.200 I want to spend my money on this computer because 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.560 I can do things my way. I can set it 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.720 up the way I like, and I own it. 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:29.919 And by the. 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.040 Way, my computer that I bought two years ago for 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.200 probably twenty five hundred bucks or twenty eight hundred dollars, 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:35.680 I don't know how much it was, I need to 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.960 look up the receipt I can get about fourteen hundred 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:42.000 dollars for it as a trade in, and so they 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:44.080 hold their value. Now. If I was going to give 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:45.639 this to my son, that would be great, but I 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.959 think this is a little bit too powerful for a 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:49.720 ten year old. I don't think he needs this. I 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:52.000 was going to hand down my computer to him. He 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:54.960 can hand down his computer to my littler kid, but 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:56.719 I feel like we don't need to do that right 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.000 now because it's computer. Plus, I kind of just want 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:01.439 the fourteen hundred bucks towards the new one because I'm 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:03.040 looking at spending a lot of money here in the 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:06.400 next couple weeks, but that's it. Those are coming out 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:08.280 on Tuesday, October twenty sixth. 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.040 If you've got by the way, the. 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:11.880 Battery life on these things are amazing. 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:13.080 Oh yeah. 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.840 The one downside is the notch in the display. 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:16.000 Now. 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.440 I love how Apple spins it. They say the display 0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:23.199 features even thinner borders and extends up around the camera. 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.200 They don't say notch to provide users with even more 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.960 room for their content. Oh Apple, it's a positive thing 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.480 that you added this weird looking notch. So they said 0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:36.080 they work with developers to try to make the top 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:39.399 area more for like the menu and all your little 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.199 icons and stuff, which they did. But still it's just 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:44.160 kind of funny. Like people give the notch a hard 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:45.920 time on the iPhone, now they can give the notch 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.560 a hard time on the on the laptops as well. 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:50.560 Let's see. 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.280 Oh, the one thing if you want to know is 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.600
