Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

My configuration is macbook pro 15', 512 sdd, 16 gb ram. The place of use is mainly at home and I will probably carry it with me during the holidays. Application as a portable computer on the sofa and bed (for the Internet, video, mail, excel and other everyday tasks) + study. First tactile impression WOW. The build quality and appearance leave a very pleasant impression. The trackpad + macOS working together make the laptop comfortable and convenient, I don’t even think about the mouse. touchBar, in addition to looking cool, is also mega functional (I think it will be developed further and increased in size). I like MacOs, especially the window shifting features, but it's definitely not a Windows killer. Now about windows, I installed it through bootcamp, and also installed parallels desktop (if I want to play, I boot directly, all other Windows programs are parallel). From the games I installed METRO EXODUS, it goes at fullHD at minimum, you can drive at medium, but not so fast. YES, and in principle, playing on a laptop is a compromise, better of course is a system unit or a set-top box with a normal monitor. I compared different laptops and tried to find worthy competitors in terms of price or quality, but I did not find them. It becomes especially sad after getting used to the trackpad. Low reliability (wrote in shortcomings), my last macbook, I will not buy more poppies.

Pros
  • + tactile sensations + touch bar + screen + buttons + trackpad + macos
Cons
  • - weak camera (compared with the iphone 7 front camera) - it is hard to pull out the charging cable from the laptop - large bezels around the screen - I wish the screen resolution was higher
