1
I'm touching it!
2
I'm touching it!
3
Oh my gosh!
4
I'm touching things!
5
We're getting touchy with MacBook Pros!
6
This is the first touchscreen MacBook Pro!
7
They're ProLED XDR.
8
It comes in different sizes.
9
We got 14, we got 16, we got different colors.
10
Let's see what it's all about.
11
Oh, why does this make me so happy?
12
Because it takes me back.
13
the apple logo is lighting up as it should as the way it was always meant to be
14
so i'm learning how to kind of lock it to the side i got
15
that time you got it
16
and then you just gotta do what see it's all in the hips
17
there's a learning curve to all this stuff not only is there a lot to poke at today
18
but we're also getting dynamic island with this new model it gives you
19
that animated drop down menu
20
that you're used to seeing on an iphone i could just pull
21
it down i could type in what i want ask siri to pull up music
22
and you get a preview of different apps
23
you're in other macbooks just have a cutout this one's animated the better olin screen is making this machine thinner
24
and lighter than previous macbook pros it's as light as three pounds
25
and that screen is a lot brighter too
26
if you didn't notice it's up to 2 000 nits of brightness
27
and this is the first time the macbook has oled screen
28
and it is poppy
29
because you can really see the blacks pop
30
i mean in this example of a picture we can see the tiny stars popping on the side
31
because with oled you can actually turn off some of the pixels so you really get black blacks in this
32
Oh my gosh, I'm taking it in!
33
I'm taking it in!
34
The speakers are also improved, but it's not like I could really notice that in a noisy demo area.
35
This week, Apple released other new products as well, like this iPad Mini with an OLED screen.
36
And even if I couldn't hear those speakers, I sure could feel them.
37
No speaker holes, just a charging port.
38
They have an acoustic display, so the speakers are actually behind the display
39
and you can really feel the rumble here
40
when you have it totally maxed out on the show floor
41
we also got to check out apple's new macbook pro
42
that has an m6 chip this one is not a touch screen
43
but that extra boost of power is also good for ai work and it is cheaper it starts at 1999 $999.
44
This obviously makes a lot of sense when you are a heavy duty creator
45
or you're doing things in 3D with modeling or you're multitasking many different aspects.
46
Of course it's fun to say hello.
47
It's fun to give a little bit of a doodle right
48
but having it on my lap this is the larger 16 inch size
49
I'm kind of getting a sense of like all right what is
50
that going to be like what's relationship
51
when i'm like commuting on the train i'm trying to get a little more done
52
um literally using the laptop like a laptop we are used to kind of juggling our phones
53
and pinching and zooming
54
and that's really where i think
55
this comes in it you're not going to be touching all over the place all the time um
56
you know for the most part this is really a supplemental
57
little addition i think okay let's get real folks we're not playing music like this okay this is not
58
We're not doing this.
59
It is an interesting way to note
60
that you could touch in more than one way when you're trying to figure out just a quick answer to something,
61
you know, to be able to change up something you might be composing.
62
You know, even if you don't see yourself poking at your screen all the time, because it's a new thing.
63
If you're a Mac user, you're just not used to it.
64
The screen itself is just so bright and impressive.
65
so obviously uh that alone isn't a feature
66
that you might take more advantage of
67
and you might find yourself just kind of poking at it once in a
68
while because it's just there now i have here
69
the largest one but uh
70
if you get the 14 inch model it starts at 2 899
71
so roughly 900 more to start with a MacBook Pro
72
that has these features compared to the new M6 MacBook Pro that just came out.
73
I like the idea of kind of poking a little bit right now.
74
You know, at this event, it's the kind of event where you're seeing a lot of the screen cleaning going on because we're all just going,
75
what can they do?
76
And it's fun to kind of explore, obviously, and I'm drawing here on the screen.
77
I'm not going to draw all the time, but I do find it that
78
when you have are someone who's very busy like i am on my mac
79
i'll i'll show you my actual mac
80
that i brought with me to work on here this is my actual macbook pro
81
that i brought to work at this event it is not touch screen
82
and you know what it would be kind of useful maybe to drag
83
this to the trash this is too much don't judge me
84
or judge me a little it's okay to judge me a little this is bad
85
so yeah i think i for one would be like i want
86
that extra feature i want to be able to do just a little bit faster by just getting in there
87
and touching it um other than
88
that though physically it all just kind of feels the same
89
i notice a few different quirks in the operating system like certain kind of things kind of bubble up
90
and get bigger
91
so my finger can get to them let me show you i wanted to check out what happens
92
when i approach uh the little menu button here to resize my window it got bigger
93
because it's kind of a new operating system to kind of take into account
94
that your fingers don't want to necessarily get something really tiny
95
and exact it's going to blow up for me
96
and help me kind of decide if i want to shrink something
97
or not so far it has responded pretty well and
98
that says a lot
99
when i have not been formally trained on how to use
100
this it's been intuitive sometimes you want to get really nitty gritty
101
and that's well
102
when the full of the view is for we're only getting
103
a sample here to get a taste of what's possible
104
but there's a lot going on under the hood to really make this perform very smoothly.
105
And with this machine you're also getting better processors.
106
It's coming with the M5 Pro and the M5 Max are going to be your options on this not the M6 chip.
107
So we're entering a new era of Apple where you can
108
really touch any screen depends how you want to get your work done.
109
The funny thing is when I was coming here I was telling my kids, hey mom might be able to go see a macbook
110
that she can touch the screen on it and they looked at me like, well what why is that special?
111
We can do that already on our chromebooks
112
and it's true they're already in elementary school are doing
113
that they're computing that way and
114
when I ask how are they using it it really is just supplemental
115
they're just kind of poking at it sometimes
116
and yes they're able to kind of bend their devices back in different angles too.
117
I know normally this would break the computer,
118
but I can do this and maybe even this and it becomes an iPad.
119
This is Apple's twist on how they're leveling it all up.
120
So the journey begins.
121
Let me know in the comments what you think.
122
If you're curious to give this a touch.
123
And I'll see you next week when there's one more thing to talk about in the world of Apple.

什么是跟读法?
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
