Good and quality product, but there are flaws.
I got the laptop as a working machine - the employer offered to upgrade the laptop I was working on. Before that, I worked on my own, it was a Dell XPS 13 9360, before Dell was a Macbook Pro 13 "late 2022. I used these two for almost five years. I must say right away that the differences for me from mb pro 13 2022 are small. mb pro 16 is larger, more powerful, heavier, and, in general, everything. Therefore, it is the XPS 13 that appears in the advantages and disadvantages. Of course, it is difficult to compare them directly - they are in different weight categories, so I talked about the obvious. In general, speaking for a piece of iron, everything suits me. Good battery, well assembled, everything is fine, in general. Its money is more likely than not (although, of course, the price is cosmic, especially for the extra space on the SSD). The software decides a lot. In my case, the docker was somehow delivered, ssh works - that's okay, it's good for work. Projects on the pluses collects perky. There is almost any corporate software that is found in the wild - from java-based kvm to palo alto vpn, it is convenient and allows you to work without any problems, and not configure software much of the time, as is the case in linux, for example. The same applies to the UI - everything is smooth, polished and uniform. This is also a minus - there are a lot of settings, but their number is still limited, what is possible in linux cannot be done here. This is not a plus or a minus, it's just an observation. Compared to win 10, there is some feature parity for me - there is an order of magnitude more software in windows and, as a result, more customization. For this there is a retribution in the form of a legacy sticking out of all holes (which seems to be about to be sawed off, but how it will turn out is still unknown). All in all, a decent laptop. If there is no aversion to macos or if there are already other pieces of iron from Apple, I recommend buying it. If you don’t want to have a vendor lock or just something is missing in macos (read: you need some kind of red-eye or Windows), then it’s better to look towards Dell / Thinkpad.
- - Build quality. Mb pro 16 is assembled perfectly, without options. Before that, there was a Dell XPS 13 - a very massive machine, there were no problems with anything - it was simply worse assembled. The touchpad is a little crookedly glued, there are gaps of different sizes in the places where the hinges are attached, etc. Nothing critical, just a poppy in this regard is better - Sound. In a poppy, the sound is an order of magnitude better than in the same XPS 13. Just ten times, yes. I don't know how it's done, but I'm guessing the engineers had to put in some effort to get that sound. - Screen. Approximately the same as on the XPS 13. On the XPS it was, perhaps, even sharper - there at 13 "I had UHD, the pixels were denser in terms of pure ratio. Mac solves problems with software - good fonts, etc. , but, to In a word, over the years, these settings become overgrown with legacy and even worsen a little, because a simple person does not know what scaled resolution is and what it actually means, for example - Touchbar. Good stuff, I like it. I use it regularly, it's convenient. - Charger through any port. It's comfortable. At your leisure, you can also charge the phone, I almost stopped getting my own charger to the phone
- - Heavy. You can feel it behind your back when you carry it in a backpack. - USB-A ports would be nice. I don’t want to carry a set of usb-c adapters with me, so it’s too early to have only usb-c in 2022, according to my feelings - Keyboard. It's clear that scissor keyboards on new Macs are a breath of fresh air after the dominance of glass butterflies. This does not negate the fact that the keyboard is oak, the key travel is short. If the keyboard model is European, then the shape of the Enter key is unacceptable for me - sometimes I didn’t get to 13 "even after a year of use. Therefore, I took mb pro 16 from American ANSI and everything is fine on it, this layout suits me. On Dell XPS 13, which I had before the poppy, the keyboard was softer, it was more convenient to type, my hands did not get tired.
