Review on 13-Inch Apple MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD Storage in Space Gray - Previous Model by Jnis Kokins ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am satisfied with everything, both price and quality, I advise you to buy.

Now to put it in plain language: The laptop made a favorable impression, and because it is lightweight, it is easy to take it to work each day. A screen size of 13 inches is sufficient for working in comfort; however, if a larger display is required, one can always add an additional monitor to the setup. The keyboard was another pleasant surprise, but even so, it needs to be handled with greater care, although this recommendation is already printed in numerous places. In my opinion, the laptop is an excellent choice for software developers (including those working on Android and iOS). I am writing this review mainly for individuals who hesitate (as I did in the past) when the question is whether or not to overpay for a more powerful machine that runs Windows and comes with a number of other "buts"; nonetheless, the choice is ultimately yours regarding which machine to buy. In my book, the laptop earns a respectable 4 ku out of 5.

Pros
  • I have a model that does not have a touch bar (an additional TV), and it has 16 GB of RAM, 256 SSD, and an i5 processor. I shall write about how there is neither a positive nor a negative review for developers anywhere. My first MacBook Pro, which was not a Retina model and was 13 inches in size, was purchased in 2022. And hence, the benefits are as follows: 1) With such a beautiful, juicy, and brilliant screen that has a high resolution, coding all day is a pure joy. 2) A sound quality that is both good and loud from the speakers (in contrast to the 2022 model, which is heaven and earth). 3) Its low weight makes it very convenient to carry around and allows it to be thrown into a bag without being noticed. 4) Extremely condensed for a 13" 5) The mouse is something I haven't used in such a long time that I have completely forgotten about in favor of the trackpad. 6) Excellent performance and more information about it straight away: There is a working system (laptop running Windows) that has an i7 8th generation processor, 16 gigabytes of random access memory (RAM), and a GeeForce 1060 graphics card; nonetheless, a mac develops a java project using gradle in less than thirty seconds. The second reason is that we are optimizing our apple and nix systems. The results for Ubuntu are of course already an order of magnitude better than those for Windows, but they are not significantly better than those for mac (the gap is somewhere between five and ten seconds in Ubuntu's favor). This is because Ubuntu is already an order of magnitude better than Windows. 7) The keyboard is, in general, very good, and despite my initial reservations about the butterfly layout, I found that I was able to increase my typing speed. 8) The backlighting of the keyboard is nice, and it doesn't make me want to poke out my eyes (I compare this to gaming laptops, which are typically purchased due of their great performance and have a RED backlight).
Cons
  • 1) Although the keyboard makes a lot of noise, you quickly grow used to it. 2) The keyboard is unreliable; nevertheless, it appears that a can of purge gas will make you happy again. This was the case for me after three months of active clattering on the keyboard, until there was no sticking. 3) The version of the product that does not include TB still only has two ports; after three months of use, I had already started to become aware of this, but the presence of a physical F-keyboard was more significant to me when I made my purchase. 4) If you require a machine for research, massive calculations, you need multithreading, and you need it on a local system, then all the same I would recommend the version of 2022 or a newer version. In 2k18-2k19, two physical cores are already insufficient. 5) Adapters will suddenly be sitting around in every nook and cranny (at work, at home, with you)%, and when you see a Mac, immediately, no, IMMEDIATELY budget the expense of USB adapters and other peripherals in order for them to be able to work fine on it. 6) These days, they don't provide an extension cord for the charger or a rag for the display in the box, which is incredibly upsetting to me; in fact, I was on the verge of shedding a tear over it. It's a good thing that I kept the extension cable and the cloth from the old poppy, because it's a good thing that I still had them. 7) The Type-C cable that is included in the package may only be used for charging, and not for transferring data. This is more of a reality than a limitation of the product. 8) Price. One way or another, the MBR has become more expensive (we look at everything in dollars), but you can't declare for certain that you will have a high-end stuffing at this point in time. This particular point in time is, of course, controversial. There is optimization, there is *nix, and yes, the hardware is of a high quality. But why isn't there more attention paid to the details? This is me talking about two ports that are included in the version that does not have a television; does Apple want to investigate the possibility that you are a rebel? What if I just need a regular keyboard, but I don't really need a TV? Why is it that you are unable to include an adapter, even if it is merely a USB adapter, in the starter kit? The laptop continues to increase in price, while the quality of the equipment continues to decline.
