| 0:00.0 | So yesterday I was talking about the new Macbook Pro's Apple put out this 8-core, very expensive |
| 0:10.7 | new version of the Macbook Pro, well new old version and in that video I mean I was |
| 0:17.3 | talking about how powerful this thing supposedly is but I was also talking about |
| 0:20.8 | how for me you know I'm going to buy one because of my previous |
| 0:25.1 | experience with the Butterfly Key switches. Those exist on this model just like the |
| 0:31.0 | previous version, but then I was on Twitter and I came to find out that |
| 0:36.4 | this repair program that exists for Macbook Pro's previous Butterfly Macbook Pro's is also already in place for the new one. |

| 1:28.0 | material but they refuse to say what that material is and for the record in the past they've said that |
| 1:34.3 | changes have been made. I of course have the example of the 13 inch MacBook |
| 1:38.4 | air where they said no there's a membrane there now that's going to protect the keys but of course that didn't |
| 1:46.3 | protect anything on my particular Macbook air. They also continue to say |
| 1:50.6 | it's this select group of devices that are affected but then of course in |
