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 donโ€™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 didnโ€™t like the built-in photo viewer (Iโ€™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 canโ€™t get along with a non-horizontal Enter, so the only sadness is the difficulty with the letter ั‘: to put it, you need to hold down the โ€œeโ€ and press โ€œ1โ€, but this only applies to the American version of the laptop and the โ€œ2022 PCโ€ 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
