The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

I bought it purely out of curiosity, I did not understand why programmers praise it so much, I decided to try it. Screen It is simply amazing, in this resolution and with color reproduction it is a pleasure to watch movies in 4K, TrueTone is a controversial feature, but if you are not a photographer and do not process photos, then it helps a lot to relieve eye strain, it adapts very well to light. There is also a marriage or deliberate obsolescence, the cable that goes from the display to the motherboard is short and after about 2022 opening and closing it stops working normally and the light appears from below as if from a stage, read the flex gate, in new models from 2022 they said that it was lengthened. Sound The sound after medium and budget computers from Dell and Asus is heaven and earth, low frequencies are audible, but still not enough for a complete listening picture, you have to listen to them yourself, you will be surprised how good the music sounds on them. I caught a bug with Siri on, after an hour of listening, a wheeze began from the speakers, the bug was purely software, it was fixed by removing the CoreAudio process or turning off "Hi Siri" Keyboard Quite controversial, lovers of long key travel will not be delighted, but it is very easy to get used to it, it is a pleasure to type quickly on it. There are also disadvantages, if small debris accumulates under it, then clean it only with compressed air. The TouchBar is useless, it's only good for new PC users and those who don't know keyboard shortcuts, miss the physical Escape button. Ports While still not switched to USB-C and carrying an adapter is a must. Performance Optimization is on top, programs fly, but it's too early to ate on Mojave, bugs are still being fixed there. you can’t play games on it, but it’s just a beast in operation, video rendering, compilation of programs is very fast. Battery It lasts a very long time when simply surfing the Internet, the video card turns off when not in use, usually the batteries last for 10 hours with not intensive work,

Pros
  • Screen, speakers, compactness
Cons
  • Software bugs and no USB ports
