Type of review

It sounds like baby talk when people moan about having a poor front camera for making video calls and taking selfies. The camera is sufficient for the task. If you do screencasts and need something professional, it makes sense to consider investing in a second, high-end webcam. Although not new, people frequently use a laptop like this for business. such that it is profitable and profitable. I had my doubts about choosing the 13", but after looking at the tests, it was evident that discrete…

Pros
  • Nice keyboard, much quieter than old scissors up to 15 years old, and much quieter than butterflies, where you punched a laptop, a table, and the ground beneath you with your clacking fingers. decent speakers. More surround sound is produced by the speakers than by any earlier models. However, at volumes above normal, the depth of sound is lost; I believe this to be a design element. The microphone records sounds of high quality. I had to record the sound to the laptop's built-in microphone due to the buttonhole once breaking. Was incredibly happy. a sizable trackpad. Even the place is still there, and it accommodates the iPhone plus. Utilizing the trackpad is quite simple. also with two hands. particularly with two hands. display brightness. I utilize light levels between 75 and 80 percent for work. Furthermore, the white windows and programs caused by this redundancy are already starting to burn out the eyes. However, the highest brightness is what matters when watching movies. quite cozy for watching movies. I utilized sketch, photoshop, principle, after effects, and figma to deal with graphics and layout. generally not particularly demanding for a single person, but gluttonous for the entire software. Quiet. Naturally, as it takes off, it becomes audible, but often, if it gets warm, it still rustles with coolers silently. enormous monitor. Working with him becomes much more comfortable than working with the 13th. The formal screen resolution is comparable to a 22-inch non-4k display. Hence, the working width is approximately 1700px plus. This implies you don't need an external display and probably won't. I was concerned he would experience elephant-like feelings. No longer does 13ka appear to be the fifth iPhone following some sort of plus against its background.
Cons
  • Right-hand output for the headphone jack. This solution appears odd to me for all devices made after 2022, especially if you occasionally use the mouse. At this point, the headphones' wire starts to interfere. He is still movable, although it is less convenient to rush around the workplace with him in one hand than with a 13. Mostly because of size as opposed to weight. The area above the touchbar is noticeably hotter. I personally don't find this uncomfortable, but you could find it to be very important.

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

In terms of comparisons, Apple offers a Macbook Pro 13 2022 that does not have a touchbar. 1. There is no discernible difference between FS and office work 2. Overall performance - not really noteworthy 3. The burden of difficult work is obvious 4. When compared to 13, 16, is an enormous number. 5. The sound is significantly improved at 16. 6. The screen remains the same, although it appears like the color has been altered slightly. 7. Keyboard: flavor, but the butterfly is more appealing to…

Pros
  • Rapid examination! The display is superior to anything else available on the market. wow, Keyboard looks like a butterfly even more, but it's good, yep. To mimic the sound of a concert The rate of work, to put it simply, is quite rapid. For administrative and creative work, use iiiiiaalno. There is an iPhone that can be used in place of the camera if you did not utilize it. The touchpad is just as awesome as it has always been, but it is now significantly larger. Touchbar - xs Che, everyone moans and groans. When put to its intended use, the handy cool thing can be rather handy and cool. Tachid is a word that means "very comfortable and cool." Weight: xs, considered normal Cooling performance that is superior to that of the Macbook Pro 13" In idle - no fan noise, full stillness
Cons
  • Controversial video card. Enough for the home office, but if you need something more powerful for your business, you should look into getting an external one. 100 thousand dollars, and you'll have a top-tier video card. MacOS PPC is compatible with externally connected huge monitors (34 for office duties, which is hell, but for editing, which is fantastic, in my opinion). Simply warming oneself from behind is quite acceptable.

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

I have the most recent, reasonably priced 1TB model, an i9, and a r5500m. I bought it in May, and I've been using it to work on this laptop ever since. Since I had never encountered apples before, I questioned their existence in the face of Windows, but the poppy was pleasantly delighted. After working for two months, I turned on the Windows computer, but it doesn't seem as convenient anymore, so I want to go back to the poppies. If you have the money, it's absolutely worth taking.

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

Two laptops were replaced by the laptop. The dns extreme (also known as the clevo p170em) is a 17-inch laptop with a core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and a 1TB hard drive. It is older than the Macbook Air and has 4GB of RAM, a Core i5 processor, and 64GB of flash storage. The first laptop's performance, its old screen, and the second's utter immobility were the key issues. The Mac served as my home laptop, and I occasionally used it to work when I wasn't at the office. The office…

Pros
  • 1) Power. The increase in power is really noticeable here when compared to my old laptop, which had a 2022 core i7, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. 2) Astonishing display; if you've never worked on a screen with a resolution of more than 1920 x 1080, you'll be pleasantly impressed. 3) In terms of sound, it is comparable to the JBL Charge 3 (with the obvious exception of volume). Four) Touchbar. I can now claim that everything is just as convenient, and you can even place keyboard shortcuts there. For example, the screen lock button on the touchbar is convenient for me as someone who previously used these buttons on a computer only to alter the volume and brightness. 5) Autonomy, yes, indeed. When performing ordinary duties like using a browser and Word with Excel, the laptop will last for 7 hours, compared to my former laptop's battery life of less than an hour in earlier times and less than five minutes in the present. 6) Dimensions: Despite having such power, the dimensions and weight are both manageable. I can easily transport the laptop in a bag and a backpack in the car. 7) The keyboard is perfectly satisfactory; I can't say that it has changed from the MacBook Air of 2022 because I didn't really notice the difference. 8) The laptop has a great appearance. 9) Airdrop has gotten much faster to work; I frequently use an iPhone to shoot short YouTube videos because it's so easy to transfer them wirelessly to a MacBook. 10) Compared to a 12-year-old MacBook, the trackpad is substantially bigger and more responsive. 11) Two-sided USB-C charging. When you are unsure of which side the outlet is on, it is quite convenient. 12) The microphone can be plugged in via the headphone jack, however in 2022 the MacBook only recognized the headphones through this input. 13) USB power supply; in this instance, you can swap the cable out without switching the power source. 14) The Bluetooth connection is more reliable than it was on the 12-year-old Macbook Air.
Cons
  • 1) The speakers' clicks. Yes, I've read a variety of viewpoints on the matter online, but the clicks are simply constant—they occur 20 to 30 times each hour in the evening. They claim that there is a software issue, but Apple never made any fixes. 2) Once more, this appears to be a software fault, however occasionally after leaving the laptop alone over night, it is rebooted and displaying an error message regarding a system crash. Catalina 15.4 and 15.1 did not discover this when it appeared. For 12 years, this did not occur at all on the MacBook Air! 3. A screen that is very quickly soiled; even after opening the screen, fingerprints are still visible. They might use a cloth, but since the screen is glass around the perimeter, it is hard to open the lid without smearing the screen. 07/24/2022 No matter how flawless this device was, it broke after a year and a week, causing the laptop to reboot incessantly and experience kernel panic. One is happy that the law will require a 2-year warranty starting in 2022, keeping the price at $30,000. There are no other issues with the laptop. Everything else in all operating systems is equivalent in terms of program freezes, which are neither worse nor better.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

Someone would claim that there is no USB and other things like that, but as for myself, I haven't used flash drives in several years. If you have an adapter, you can connect a display to it, therefore the problem is fixed. This is my first personal Mac; previously, I used Windows; however, not a single Windows laptop can be matched in terms of usability and build quality to a Macbook; and that's not even mentioning the axis. This is my first personal Mac. Incredible toughness and resistance…

Pros
  • Screen Convenience Sound Keyboard touchpad OS
Cons
  • In my perspective, the answer is no.

To this day, I still believe that the configuration of my 16 GB, radeon 5300, and 512 ssd base model is the best possible for a mobile working computer. There will be no more performance hiccups in the future thanks to the availability of flash-drive-sized external nvme-ssds for use with egpu-based video processing. A 6-core, 12-thread i7 processor should serve you well for quite some time. The main drawback of this setup is that you can't add any more agents. However, at this time, 16 GB is…

Pros
  • The norm for Apple notebooks: - a display that may be used as a reference and won't strain your eyes or cause glare outside. The battery life is sufficient for an entire workday (eight hours) of continuous use of the Internet, IM, basic photo editing, and multimedia (music, youtube). - size and weight: the screen is massive, yet the device weighs only two kilograms. - adapters and peripherals with port support can be plugged into any of the four type-c ports without worrying about compatibility issues. The touch bar in the newest versions of Mac OS is more than just a novelty; it's a highly adaptable tool that makes everyday tasks easier. The Mac OS is a solid operating system that can be customized (to the point where shortcuts and scripts are worthwhile) and is in sync with other Apple products. Nothing is loose, nothing is falling off, and there are no surprises. When comparing this model to the 2022-2022 version, we find: The new vintage keyboard is notably more comfortable to type on than the previous "butterfly" model. For me, this shift makes it easier to get down to business. I'm speechless; that was an amazing performance. On average, it's 3-5 times faster than the 2022 version when it comes to rendering video. Easily handles dozens of active tabs, IM windows, documents, and spreadsheets while juggling two 4K displays. - enhanced air conditioning. Under load, there is still some noise, though the frequency is lower than it was. It's a really good sound system. There are six of them, and everything is heard clearly and loudly from the top and bottom. Music and movies can be enjoyed without grimacing. Having a dedicated touch ID button and escape key is a nice touch. Additionally, this is the first poppy you will feel completely at ease playing on. All modern games can comfortably output 60 frames per second in full HD at maximum settings (but only if you install Windows; in makosi, the performance of toys is dreadful).
Cons
  • - Price. It's a cliche to say, but you can find a cheaper alternative to this machine for pretty much any task you need it for (text: $90k for a Macbook Air; games: $60-$70k for a variety of Windows laptops; video editing: the same Imac will come out cheaper, let alone a desktop PC). The already high cost shot upward because of fluctuations in the exchange rate and the shortfall caused by the widespread shift to remote employment. Intense noise when in use. The noise is present, though not as noticeable as it formerly was. If you plan on using it as a stationary with a closed lid and hooking up two monitors, the sound quality will suffer. When using the "looks like 2560x1440" or higher preset format on two 4k displays, you will notice increased fan noise. The poppy shows no signs of slowing down, but the fans indicate that conditions are far from perfect. - Odd software problems: in the very early versions of macOS, users complained about the "crunchy" sound of the speakers when they were muted (a problem that has been fixed in 102022.3). It's annoying because, now, the computer can reboot even while set to sleep (albeit disabling Power Nap helps in the interim). The system's peculiar RAM behavior: "how much you give him, so much he will eat." I contrast it with the version that my friends who overpaid for also own.

The product can be used, I expected a little more.

If you handle the laptop when it is on the test bench, you shouldn't have any problems with it in general. As soon as you give him a quarter of a million dollars and spend time alone with him, you will start to make progress in overcoming the obstacle of the path littered with bottles. I have something to say to those people who succeed in making money through hard effort. You have to be conscious of the reasons behind why you are taking this laptop and what you want to do on it. what manner of

Pros
  • The construction of the case is very sturdy and robust, and the lid can be opened without much effort. If you do not spend all day, every day working in Excel, you might be able to get by with just a touchpad. usb c ports - the future has here, in a sense - with the ability to charge from any one of the four ports (though not all at once, of course). the keyboard has been upgraded to its former glory, eliminating the filth of previous versions that lacked a pronounced keystroke and which stuck. The display is a huge, bright square that has a high resolution and is free of glare. Sound speakers located in this area will correct that bogus bluetooth device you have sitting on the shelf. (of course, if you had one) In general, the design of the laptop is such that all aspect of its use, including what can be seen, heard, and felt, is intended to provide the user with joy and happiness. The effect is analogous to that of playing with stress-relieving toys.
Cons
  • When you switch to Poppy OS after spending ten to fifteen years on Windows, you come to the realization that the development of Poppy OS should be littered with bottles. If you understand what I mean, in the present world, in theory, it should not matter what system you are sitting on, because ninety percent of the time, you are not working in the system, but rather in software, such as email messengers, web browsers, game development environments, Photoshop design, and so on. But why in the name of everything that is holy can't a system unpack zip files by default? Why do you need to download additional apps if you just want to turn off the sleep mode? Even if it's possible that I'm missing anything essential, I believe that Windows, in its default configuration, is capable of far more. games. If you want to play on a poppy, you should know that it will cost you money and that it is not warranted. Let's look at the three different choices. 1 roll Windows and play all pirates who use torrents? Yes, but in practice, Windows on poppies gets up incredibly crooked, and certain fundamental elements like wifi sound and so on frequently go off. In theory, this should not be the case. What can we say about the performance of the processor and the video card while they are both working under pressure? for the Poppy gaming system to purchase games? - sure, but it's sooooo pricey, the Metro Exodus app in the app store will set you back roughly 7,000 dollars. while for Windows you'll pay between 400 and 650 dollars, and on other distributions it may even be free. 3 cloud gaming. the best choice out of all the available ones However, in order to connect to the wired internet, you will need to purchase an adaptor. Games have to be acquired from establishments that are compatible with the service that you want to use, in addition to paying a charge and making use of the service itself. The support does not extend to all games from to. Even if you are paid in dollars, the price is still a pretty high one for such an expensive piece of equipment. It starts to troll to decrease frequencies up to 1 GHz after seven months to a year after the purchase; this is decided by a simple cleaning, but not everyone can do it at home. gets extremely heated, which causes the battery to lose its capacity to function more quickly than it should. There is no luminosity emanating from the apple.

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

Highly resonant quality. What the surround sound experience is like when watching Dolby Atmos videos on a laptop. I don't get the dislike that the touchbar has received from some folks. The enormous size and two pressure levels of the touchpad contribute to its pinpoint precision. Even on the old poppy, where I didn't use the mouse, I found it challenging to adjust the volume in the finished file. Then there's pinpoint accuracy, fit for a surgeon.

Pros
  • Our first touch-bar-equipped MacBook. The touchbar is a fantastic feature that can be put to many good uses. And it eliminates the need to use the mouse to navigate the screen, as is the case with Windows laptops. All the benefits of the MacBook Pro 13 2022 have been outlined on YouTube, but there are now no remaining drawbacks. kept waiting
Cons
  • It's easy to soil Spacegrey. Brings new life to a used Mac towel. This equipment was not provided. Cut the rag to size. The power supply extension cord that was provided with the previous model is not part of this one. That's too bad. The gadget itself has zero flaws. Not equipped with a USB or card reader. I went out and got a plug-and-play external adaptor with a pair of cables. Crutch.

For those who sat with the 15 Kami Dotachbarovsky Era, the best option. This little phrase could potentially be interpreted as "Make Mackkbook - PRO again." Making the casing larger and enhancing the cooling system allowed us to restore the actual "ESC" button, the incredibly dependable scissor keyboard, and the i9's insane throttling on hot rocks. Actually, these were the main reasons for switching to a macbook 15 in the middle of 2022 from the previous platform. And now for some thrilling but

Pros
  • macOS keyboard power screen sound computing

The right product for me, there were no problems.

After Inza installed the second Windows system, the gaming issue was resolved and she had enough of spare power and memory. There are currently zero issues everywhere. It's completely safe to install Windows. Other than that, everything was fine. This, of course, is dependent on the user's prior knowledge and expertise with various generations of Apple's iMac, MacBook Air, Mac Mini, iPad, and iPhone.

Pros
  • This laptop is the best one I've ever had.
Cons
  • The inability to alter the Touchbar's appearance is disappointing, but its availability is not out of the question. The cost, however this is not a drawback (there just isn't enough cash available in 2022).

The purchase is a failure, very unhappy.

We spent almost two hours on the phone with their support team and ran a battery of tests before concluding that the problem was not software-related. A technician scheduled an appointment with a legitimate repair shop. A representative at a warranty repair shop respectfully declined to replace my laptop under warranty. It's fine to use the laptop with the declared flaws. Fairness requires me to mention that, except from the XD squeak, all tests and stress tests pass normally on the laptop. My…

Pros
  • Superb display, robust CPU, lightning-quick SSD, solid OS, consistently reliable operation (never required a reboot), and so forth. I used Boot Camp to set up a second OS, and it was the simplest Windows setup I've ever done. The speakers' clicking issue has been fixed; I never experienced it. Solid keyboard with a shallow yet discernible key travel.
Cons
  • There are two major flaws that, in my opinion, really stand out: Throttles that squeal incessantly Load-related noises One manifestation of the aforementioned problem is that the laptop continuously beeps whenever external devices (mouse, hub with rj-45, etc.) are connected. It's not a problem during the day when working from home (street noise, the fridge, etc.), but at night it's just plain bothersome. The acoustics are reminiscent of vintage televisions with radio tubes. The second issue I stated above manifests itself in the form of a noise that is reminiscent of an HDD clicking when the laptop is turned on, the browser is opened (with many tabs open), or "heavy" applications are launched.

Great product, a pleasure to use.

I chose a laptop to move around calmly. First of all, it is necessary for work. Sometimes I would like to calmly mount videos and other delights of modern life, except for games, I don’t play. Of all that can be found in the PC camp - Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, but the quality of the case and screen, as well as a bunch of compromise reviews, repelled this venture. Although the cover with funny animation looks stylish. As a result, from the alternatives, all kinds of laptops are full of compromises.

Pros
  • The best thing on the market right now. The best screen, case, sound, keyboard, compact power supply.
Cons
  • Heavy, webcam could be better. No regular USB. You have to use the docking station.

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

I needed a computer with 6-8 cores to work in AE. Windows laptops with such processors and a monitor are only gaming laptops with a powerful video card. I don't really need a video card for 2D. It is interesting that with such a processor as in a poppy, a screw laptop costs at least 200k, but I took a poppy for 170. But! In addition to the gain in price and increase in power, I also received excellent autonomy, a great screen, and a keyboard. trackpad (which is more comfortable than a mouse)…

Not the best quality, but generally not bad.

Bought at the beginning of 2022 for 215k for remote work during a pandemic. Initially, it seemed like an ultimatum, but after the release of the first Apple Silicon M1, it became clear that this poppy was not worth the money, since in many aspects it was superior to the Macbook Air, which was 2 times cheaper. After a year of use (when the warranty ended), when the monitor wire was pulled out, something shorted out on the board and there was a problem with the T2 chip. The Mac did not fully turn

Pros
  • + Huge and comfortable touchpad + Gorgeous speakers. The sound is very loud and spacious. + The screen reproduces colors perfectly, and due to the huge resolution, any details are visible. + Scratch-resistant aluminum housing. + The cooling system is very powerful. + Charging can be connected from either side or connected to a monitor with powerdelivery function. Compared to the previous generation: + Excellent, quiet and non-sticky keyboard. + The Esc button here is physical, not touch.
Cons
  • - i9 is not a plus, but a minus, since it constantly heats up, and also with random loads it can drain the battery in an hour. - The fact that the cooling system is powerful as a result causes a lot of noise, for example, playing without headphones is unrealistic. - Switching between built-in and discrete graphics works strangely, sometimes some simple program for some reason turns on a discrete video card, which causes the poppy to heat up and drain the battery. - The Thunderbolt controller from intel is terrible. When you connect an external monitor and surf the internet, the temperature rises by 10-15 degrees. That is, as a result, it stays at the level of 75-80 degrees. When watching a movie on an external monitor, it rises to 85. (There is no such problem with Apple Silicon) - Weight! This Mac weighs 2kg, but don't forget the 96W PSU, which weighs another 400g. Carrying it with you all the time in your backpack is not the most pleasant experience. - In the second month of use, a crack appeared on the plastic frame right on the inscription "MacBook Pro", which is constantly an eyesore.

2 times turned off on its own when connected in 1 case of the dock to the left type C, in the 2nd case of the HDD to the right type C. (For a second, the fans began to run at maximum speed and the computer turned off) But no more consequences. In general, everything is pleasing to the eye and fast, compared with i7 15 "late 2022, now the configuration is with I9. I got confused with the purchase a little - as a result, it cost me 167 which is good news, especially compared to the 2022 price…

Pros
  • The sound is pleasant Resolution higher compared to 15 late 2022 Productivity is significantly higher
Cons
  • The fan can turn on when there are no time-consuming tasks, but just a lot of things open.

Personally, I switched to MacOS with Windows - and the biggest problems are connected with the keyboard - for some reason the alt-control (functionally) changed places - other shortcuts and what I described in shortcomings. - If not for these problems, the transition would have gone absolutely smoothly.

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

I was considering buying an Asus Zen Duo (with two displays and a powerful video card) for 15 (it seems) inches, and generally choosing between models for a long time (27 "iMac, 13" M1, 16 "intel). But they all had their advantages and disadvantages. Mobility won out in the end. I have a machine on an intel i9 processor, for myself I decided that I would take a pro with an Apple processor only when they release a model suitable for me in terms of display size, now there is none. I don't want to

Pros
  • Review about the MacBook - [ ] Screen - [ ] Sound - [ ] Keyboard - [ ] Touchbar - [ ] trackpad - [ ] Heating under load - [ ] Appearance - [ ] Siri - [ ] Autonomy The sound is just awesome, for a music lover like me, this is a godsend. There is a saying: there is no bad music, there is bad acoustics. Fact. You need to get used to the keyboard a little, the dot and comma in the 2022 layout are on the numbers, this is unusual. There is a backlight that is adjustable in intensity, which is very convenient. Various bloggers say, they say, take the keyboard with the English layout for the States, they say, shift cut off and enter “castrated” is very inconvenient. My conclusion: Apple are smart guys, and since they developed a different version of the keyboard, it means that it is necessary, well, there are more letters in the 2022 language. But the most important thing is that by choosing the American layout, you lose the backlighting of the keys in 2022, there are many options on the net when silicone overlays are purchased on our keyboard. I took the 2022 layout and am satisfied. The screen is just super, juicy, for me 16 inches is the most suitable minimum possible display size. I have lived from 97% to 5% for 7 hours of continuous use. Siri is so convenient, I use the assistant all the time. Sometimes Mac responds instead of iPhone 😂 Previously, I did not understand why Apple pushed the touchbar, but it turned out to be very convenient. I use it all the time, then switch the music, then the brightness, then the emoticons, then correct or open something in Google. The trackpad is huge, the control gestures are so convenient that I remembered them for a day of use and then 🙃 on a laptop with windows I caught myself using them, but not working. It is strange why other manufacturers do not do this, it is very convenient.

With its pros: They were issued as a working tool and sent to self-isolation. I thought after windows I would get used to it for a long time. In fact, I got used to it in a couple of days. In short, this is the best laptop I've ever seen. 16" is enough to write code on the couch. The second monitor is connected without problems with the correct resolution. In general, everything connects without problems. Both via bluetooth and via cable, through an adapter. The keyboard is very comfortable. Af

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

I bought to replace HP - an old man 6-year-old with a third-generation i7, 1 TB and 16 GB of RAM. It's still good, but as soon as I open the poppy screen and that's it, I can no longer work on the old laptop - it's like I'm squinting all the time (it's 1360 wide, 2.5 times more in the poppy) Nimble, powerful. The difference between an ordinary disk and this one, on an SSD, is especially pleasing - Photoshop has never opened in 5 seconds. The charge is enough for 4 hours, because the machine…

Pros
  • Huge screen compared to my Windows laptop Touchbar Surprisingly, the weight Mobility Work speed
Cons
  • No

I was forced to imac late 2022 (the motherboard died, it’s rather pointless to repair for money) and the “road” macbook pro 13 2022 (the battery swelled, the anti-glare coating was worn off, leaving ugly spots on the display). There was an idea to take one thing, but more or less productive. I took rst for 190k, taking into account all discounts, cashbacks and other things. Overall, rather disappointed with the purchase. Mixed feelings: the laptop is tactilely pleasing, cool in terms of design,

Pros
  • 1. Design, weight, assembly, dimensions. Light, thin, tactilely pleasant. Unless I would like a larger opening angle of the lid, sometimes it is not enough. 2. The display is great. I don't even know what to write about him. IPS, brightness with a margin, excellent viewing angles, colors, high-quality image. The aspect ratio is 16 to 10, with small diagonals this is a bold plus. 3. Keyboard - fire. Quieter than old scissors, a little less travel. Typing is endlessly enjoyable. Butterfly I missed, so I can not compare with it. The touchpad is traditionally excellent. The keyboard traditionally leaves marks on the screen when the lid is closed. Let's see what happens to the anti-reflective coating in a couple of years. 4. Speakers - fire. I have never heard better in such dimensions. Easily replaces a bluetooth speaker. But the speakers click when rewinding music/video. They called the problem software and promised to fix it. Two years have passed. Didn't fix it. 5. Ports. 4 usb-c. Can be charged from either side. You can plug anything into any of the ports. There are a lot of adapters released, they are inexpensive. I do not suffer from the lack of a card reader, not a photographer. Also, I don’t cry for magseif at all. But there are problems. Wireless mice with transmitters do not work well (cursor slows down) if the mouse and transmitter are on opposite sides of the laptop. Also, sometimes when devices are disconnected from the laptop ports, be it an external drive or a monitor, the system freezes and crashes stupidly, and it reboots. 6. Autonomy - good. It is clear that if you wish, you can plant it in an hour, but for 7 hours at a brightness above average in simple tasks it will definitely work. But on 13 2022 the battery lasted a little longer. 7. Finally, a terabyte ssd in the database, 256-512 in the predecessors was a complete mockery. 8. The handoff and airdrop functions began to work much better (the connection falls off less often, the periodically occurring delay between pressing the send button and the start of the file transfer has disappeared)
Cons
  • 1. WiFi. Pain. Low power module, weak and unstable signal reception. Loses even to the iPhone. I am attaching a photo. 2. The quality of software on macOS, unfortunately, only gets worse over the years. You can list the problems for a long time. The laptop lags when resizing application windows, stutters when scrolling through various lists, slows down Google and maps, panoramas in safari. Previewing a heavy Excel spreadsheet can hang your computer for a few seconds. An inactive application/browser tab in the background can start to load the processor and spin up the coolers. Steam is just awful. Skitch (a simple image editor) slows down when applying effects. 3. If you plan to play, then this laptop is not for you at all. In many games, the choice of screen resolutions is broken. Performance in games under windows through bootcamp is half, or maybe less, of the theoretical maximum. If you're looking at the specs and thinking that it's okay, four teraflops, I can play current games at 1080p through bootcamp - no. In games, the system literally resets the frequencies on the video and processor in just minutes: from the base 1.5 / 2.3 up to 0.4 / 1.1. Along with this, fps also drops. And here it’s a matter of overheating, the temperatures are relatively low. Perhaps the laptop consumes too much energy and is forcibly limited (discharged in games from the bundled charger) Yes, the version with 5600m for an additional 70 thousand also suffers from this, though a little less. None of the third party drivers from the bootcampdrivers site solve this problem. On reddit, it is advised to glue thermal pads. 7. It gets very hot and spins coolers by 50-100% when a 4k monitor is connected, even with the lid closed in simple tasks. The noise is tiring. 8. The touchbar is still useless. Tasks even in built-in applications are sucked from the finger. In most cases, this is a duplication of on-screen buttons. 9. The function "manage battery life" works strangely. The system drives the charge in the range of 75-80, after each removal from charging it will recharge up to 100.
