Satisfied with the purchase one hundred percent, I recommend the product for everyone.

As an ultra-mobile work laptop, it was purchased to replace the MBA 11' 2022 model. For the purposes of my tasks, I came close to reaching 100%. Got pros: In comparison to more recent Apple computers, this one has a fantastic keyboard. When using an MSI gaming laptop with a 17-inch display and a full-sized keyboard, the MBA is a joy to type on. Even in the dark (excellent overall uniformity of the illumination). After transitioning from mechanical or membrane long-stroke keyboards on stationary PCs to short-travel keyboards on laptops, I was able to get some typing done on the spanking new MBP13, but I wasn't particularly good at it. It's probably simply a matter of getting acclimated to the layout, as is the case when switching from long-stroke keyboards to short-travel keyboards. Suddenly, the performance has improved to the point where I can easily process 45MP photographs in ACR or Lightroom without experiencing any lag or slowdown in the process. One may also say the same thing about the video. I have no trouble editing with DaVinci Resolve at all, whether I'm working in FullHD or 4K at 30 frames per second. (1080 will fly in most cases and even gives you the ability to work with color) The battery has a lot of punch to it. It is plenty for the entire day if all you do is browse the Internet at a screen brightness that is around average. In 2022, the equivalent of two USB-A ports represents dignity for me personally. Because you are frequently required to transfer images and movies from cameras while working in field circumstances, in addition to connecting flash drives, hard disk drives, and other peripherals, the thought of carrying adapters to USB-C with you was not very enticing. The sound, by the way, is rather decent for such a small device, and it is adequate for two people to enjoy a movie together without having to sit directly in front of the screen. Exceptionally long-lasting body. It is possible for it to land on the floor, it is possible for you to sit on it by accident, and it is possible to use it as a weapon in self-defense. He doesn't care. At the very least, the MBA 11' before you lived for over seven years. I have a complete and utter lack of doubt that this one too possesses the same tenacity. If the SSD fails for whatever reason, you may simply replace it with a model that has a larger capacity by purchasing an adapter from AliExpress. What sets it apart favorably from the same MBP is that, if God forbid the SSD were to fly, you wouldn't have to either replace the mother or re-solder the microcircuits. This is one of the things that sets it apart positively. This and that, to put it another way, costs significantly more than an adapter, which costs 300 r, and a nvme disk, which costs 5000 to 10000 r. Some cons: When compared to Retina, the screen is embarrassingly low-resolution. And finding a solution is not even the issue at hand. As a side note, it is pretty comfy, provided that you are not specifically looking out for pixels. The issue is with the color. He has a cyan hue. And pretty noticeable. If it is suitable for usage as a laptop in an office setting on a day-to-day basis, then in order to work with photos or videos, the screen needs to be calibrated (which is a laborious process, but results in colors that are noticeably superior to standard ones) or an external monitor must be utilized.
