Apple 14 inch MacBook Pro M1 Pro Chip unboxing


2021 Apple MacBook Pro (14-inch, Apple M1 Pro chip with 8‑core CPU and 14‑core GPU, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) - Space Gray

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! Bought my first-ever Apple Macbook pro. I got the 14-inch Macbook pro with the M1 pro chip instead of the latest M2 chip. To tell the truth, if I had more money, I would have got the 16-inch version which is much better for my eyes.

Well, we can't have everything. The good thing is it's very portable. Still a tad heavy than my HP 15-inch laptop. I'm still learning to use a MacBook being a Windows user since the mid-90s. The main reason is actually the price and work.

It's not that I have never touched a Macbook. I remembered my ex-GF bought a MacBook that you can also boot to a windows system. That's probably the first time I've used a MacBook. Oh, I also bought a Macbook gold (unboxing video 2015) a couple years back which I sold later on.  

This is definitely the first time I bought and owned a MacBook Pro. That's why I'm so excited. Somebody commented on my youtube video that it's a non-event. Such a sour grape. It's not important anyway. What's important is that, so far, I'm really happy with it.

The user experience is definitely different. For starters, I'm used to hammering on my Razer gaming keyboard to type. This keyboard is rather shallow and springy. I guess it's meant for touch-typing. I have a problem with numbness in my hands while using it. 

Love the fingerprint sensor for quick access back into the system when you're away from the keyboard. Another cool thing is whenever you lift up the screen, it will automatically boot up. Wish I could use my fingerprint to log in but you still need to enter your password.

I wanted a MacBook Pro with the M1 pro or Max chip because I need a good laptop that can handle 4K videos. My HP laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 and 8GB ram seems to stutter a bit when I tried to edit my videos. Might have solved it if I upgraded to 16GB or more RAMS.

This 14-inch MacBook Pro comes with the M1 pro chip and 16GB ram. The Max seems to be better because I'm assuming more CPU and GPU cores. If you have the dough and working on 4K or higher resolution videos, go for as high specs as you can afford to future-proof it.

I'm almost at the end of this blog post and I'm getting better at using the keyboard and loving the clickable touchpad. I keep forgetting you need to press to click and not just 'touch'. It's really big and wide. I remember using it when I had the Macbook Gold and kinda miss it. 

A few new things I've never used before like the MagSafe magnetic charging is pretty cool. I'm already used to the USB C ports. Linking my iPhone 13 to the Mac and using whatsapp to chat or the Facetime camera. Really sharp. The customizable cool docking system and all the apps. 

The speakers is loud but I prefer using my Bluetooth earbuds better. Especially, as I'm partially deaf. I also like to play around with the terminal and coding simple python in it. I have an iPhone and iPad and if you've been using them, you'll be familiar with all the apps available.

In all, I'm really happy with my MacBook purchased and can't get enough of it!

i bought nikkor z dx 50-250mm for my nikon z fc


NIKON NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Ultra-Compact Long Telephoto Zoom Lens with Image Stabilization for Nikon Z Mirrorless Cameras

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally bought a Nikkor z dx 50-250mm for my new retro design Nikon Z fc camera. It fits and works really well. I have yet to really try out the lens as I'm just waiting for the holidays to go out and have fun taking pictures and videos with it.

Anyway, it's been raining heavily for the past few weeks. I got to try out the camera with the 28mm SE lens kit and I'm satisfied with the camera and the lens. It's pretty sharp and my first time using this kind of camera with a prime lens.

I am a newbie photographer and love going cycling to nature parks and beaches to take photos with my camera. Yes, you can use your mobile phone to take photos which I do too. But, using a camera is a whole other level of fun!

It's a pretty expensive hobby though. But, I discovered third-party companies that sell good affordable lenses. Expensive lenses cost thousands of dollars which I can't afford. Unless you're a pro who earns money working full-time as a professional photographer.

There is news of a Nikkor Z 40mm special edition for the Zfc. I might get that when it comes out maybe next year. Meanwhile, guess which lens I just ordered the other day and now waiting to arrive? It's the VILTROX 13mm F1.4 f/1.4 Nikon z Mount Lens, Super Wide Angle Autofocus APS-C Lens! 

Yup! Can't wait for it to arrive probably next week and try it. Already plan to use it to take pictures and videos of the Xmas tree and decorations near my area. Most reviews and sample I see shows how wide it is. The video looks great and sharp too.

Now, I pretty much have all the lenses that I like and wanted. One day, I hope to get my hands on the Sony a7rV camera. With its latest AI processing unit, 61MP, advanced AF, and even the LCD screen that can be set any which way you want. 

The Sony a7rV is the ultimate pro-level camera that I can't afford and also even though I"m not a professional photographer, I still want it. Lol. Well, I love tech and the camera capabilities really intrigue me. Also, it's good to learn something new. That's why I'm so into photography right now.

Frankly, I thought the Nikon Z Fc would be my last big purchase of the year 2022. Turn out, it's the Apple Macbook pro with an M1 pro chip. At first, I thought of getting the latest Macbook pro with an M2 chip. But, after doing some research, it's better I get the 14-inch with M1 Pro chip.

The main reason behind my choice was, I rather spend an extra couple hundred more to get the M1 pro chip. I need it to edit my photos and videos which I always shoot with 4K and sometimes RAW. I tried doing some video editing on my HP Ryzen 7 AMD with 8GB Ram laptop and it's not good enough!

I probably, need to upgrade my ram but everyone knows for video editing and photography, a MacBook pro is much better. And, the M1 pro seems to be much better than even the latest M2 chip which I'm not saying is not good. Well, hopefully, and praying to get it by next week. Till then, to-da-loo!
