Everything is fine, I liked the product, I bought it for a reason.

Lowered the rating based on my personal experience with the laptop. If it were not for the problem with the screen - a solid five.

Pros
  • All of the above: performance, compact, lightweight. Working on it you get aesthetic pleasure.
Cons
  • I could write here about the inconvenience of the location of some keys in the 2022 layout, but this is a matter of habit and you quickly adapt. The screen has become a major drawback for me. No, in its normal working condition, the Retina display is beautiful. But in my case, he suddenly began to behave inappropriately and became an unpleasant surprise, given that the laptop was bought less than a month ago. What happened: there was a working call via Zoom, at some point the screen began to flicker on an absolutely flat place, the color rendition changed dramatically - the white color in the background of all windows turned into some kind of dirty milky with a gray tint, overly pronounced shadow frames appeared in all application windows . In a nutshell, Retina's beautiful screen vanished into a kind of ugliness in an instant. At the same time, no other glitches were observed, the computer continued to work. Restarts, switching on and off did not help - the defects persisted. I put the laptop away for a day, planning to deal with it all later. When I turned it on the next day - all the defects were gone, the screen worked properly again. Exactly one week later, the same thing happened again. Now another defect has been added - artifacts have appeared in the form of ghost traces from already closed / minimized windows. All of the above also persisted across reboots. The same windows were correctly displayed on the external monitor. I was fumbling around my desktop while on Zoom, my interlocutor also saw everything in good condition. I had to write a request to Apple technical support, where I was sent to a warranty service center. I gave them a laptop, I have to wait 14 days .
