Review on Renewed Apple 13in MacBook Pro with Retina Display and Touch Bar – 3.1GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Space Gray by Stanisaw Krlak ᠌

I use it to develop various software. (Soft) IDE (VSCode, WebStorm, Android Studio, Unity3D, Arduino) ok. Final cut/Photoshop ok. Docker/Kubernetes - OK. Switched from Air mid 13 (which is still working properly for 7 years, only the power supply has been changed). (about TouchBar - touch strip instead of buttons F1. F12) Pts coolly customizes TouchBar (TB), at first I thought that this was so-so functionality, I especially could not understand why the "physical ESC" was replaced with a touch, but I quickly got used to it. TB is a very cool killer feature: especially embedded software displays button icons on TB, you don’t waste time hovering over and clicking + customization (replaced the default set of buttons with the necessary ones, for example, always take screenshots - you don’t need to hold down CMD + SHIFT + 4, etc. . you always have one button at hand). (Security) Apple pay, unlock, privilege escalation, installation of something - now it does not require you to enter a password all the time - I use finger biometrics. Feel free to save all passwords in a regular kitchen. Be sure to enable FileVault (disk encryption). (disk) Most likely, 256Gb will not be enough for gamers and those who work with video and graphics (taking into account the fact that part is given to the system). But I use cloud storage. If you have heavy data directly, then you can mount network drives / WebDav all that over WiFi 8022022n if the drive is nearby, then it's fine. (type-C) set NoSleep, connect a type-c (HDMI, USB) adapter, close the laptop lid, connect a monitor and peripherals, and you get a docking station. (integration with other macos) Moving from previous macos is seamless and intuitive. Environment is pulled up with settings. Keechan and other "kids" will also come through cloud i. Regular sharing through airdrop. You can transfer open pages / bookmarks in safari to your other laptop for "one-two" in realtime.
