Review on 13.3" Apple MacBook Pro 13 Mid 2014 2560x1600, Intel Core i5 2.6 GHz, RAM 8 GB, SSD 256 GB, Intel Iris Graphics 5100, macOS, MGX82RU/A, silver by En En Shiu ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

As such, there are no disadvantages, it is convenient to use.

In general, this is a very convenient and pleasant device for working on the road, in the office, on the go. However, the claimed 9 hours of autonomy, this is with below average brightness, the blue tooth is turned off and only in office work. If you turn on any game / full HD MKV movie, then the autonomy is 3 hours (at the same average brightness and without a tooth, waffles). Under Windows (8) autonomy is about 6-7 hours in office mode. There are many nuances of using the operating system. The most obvious plus is the software that comes with it. Indeed - there is everything you may need to work in the office. Virtualization allows you to work with wine software without any difficulties. I would probably buy an Air 13' if I thought only about work, or an ultrabook with discrete graphics if I thought about games. Mac in this performance is a compromise. A product for the "most mid-level office", there are many more specialized and more efficient solutions for the office or home.

Pros
  • - body materials and assembly - high quality display - energy saving - performance - preinstalled software
Cons
  • - a matter of habit and adaptation to macOS - soldered RAM (can not be changed) - operating time under load
