Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product, best quality.

I am a proger, I spent my entire IT life under Windows, I was practically a hater of Apple products. However, at work, I had to face the need to have a * nix-environment, while working normally, and not requiring finishing for a year (I'm talking about Linux). A couple of weeks ago, I would not have believed that I could do this, but I bought a poppy. To be honest, everything is cool. There are controversial decisions, but there are no ill-conceived ones. I am an extremely picky person with the manners of a perfectionist, and maybe they put something in the box, but I don’t know what you can really get to the bottom of: the laptop is assembled perfectly, there is nothing superfluous - no LEDs, no inscriptions, or even stickers; the system works out of the box, without requiring configuration for three hours, falls asleep / wakes up faster than you open the lid (literally), calmly plows on battery power for 8-10 hours, does not require a reboot or anything else that is familiar to Windows users . Macos comes with a lot of necessary software, except that I didn’t like the built-in photo viewer (I’ll have to dodge it to work like in Win). There are no complaints about the rest: there are exactly as many settings as you need, even a blonde is able to deal with them. Initially I thought to take air, but it could not withstand any competition: an absolutely trashy TN + Film screen (like on laptops for 15-20k), unlike the beautiful Retina on the pro, the dimensions are larger (well, yes, 1mm but thinner and 200g lighter ), weaker iron and all for the same absolutely money. I took the American version, because. I can’t get along with a non-horizontal Enter, so the only sadness is the difficulty with the letter ё: to put it, you need to hold down the “e” and press “1”, but this only applies to the American version of the laptop and the “2022 PC” layout. Well, you need a different plug (100-200r or an adapter for 20), everything else is fine. As a former hater, I boldly recommend the subject - it's worth every that they ask for it. I'm not going to buy an iPhone, iPad and others yet, because. I don't see the point in them. Six months have passed - I bought an iPad))

Pros
  • Build quality, screen, battery life, adequate OS
Cons
  • A couple of hours will be unusual after Windows
