Revainrating 4 out of 5

Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

Unfortunately, all the cons did not fit above, I will point out a couple here and general conclusions: - Two ports, not enough of course, but it can be solved, because. you can buy a hub. By the way, I attribute this to the minuses, because. it is not included in the kit, unlike laptops on windows, where such a trifle is usually included in the kit. And the norms of the hub are not cheap (unless, of course, you want to buy a disposable one) and in the end it will take another tidy sum for all these goodies with covers, hubs, special sets. screwdrivers. In general, the price should be included. - There were precedents with a scratched display. Therefore, if you do not want to take risks, then you will either have to collectively farm the film on the screen, which I personally do not advise doing, because. it will eventually have to be changed over time and see bubbles on this display, and it’s not comme il faut to do it all the time. A more practical option is to buy a microfiber cloth and lay it between the keyboard and the screen when transporting the mac, at the same time you can wipe the display and dust 2 in 1 with it, so to speak. If you do not take the laptop out of the house, then you can not bother at all. This is probably all the future owner needs to know: Although I can add that if possible, it is better to upgrade to 16Gb of RAM. In general, this is everything. If you know about all the minuses and are ready for them, then you will be satisfied with the device for the most part, this is not the first mac for me, so I knew about its pitfalls, but I am also aware of its strengths and pluses, therefore, in general, the purchase satisfied.

Pros
  • -Excellent, bright and well calibrated display out of the box. Eyes do not get tired during prolonged work. - Good battery life. - Finally, a normal, human, corrected scissor keyboard. For many years I did not change the laptop and waited for them to do it. Because most of my acquaintances with poppies had this problem. - Returned the "Esc" button, thanks for that. I don't say that the Touch Bar is just wow, but in some programs and scenarios it is quite convenient to use when working. - T2 chip and fast Touch ID scanner, convenient to unlock or enter permanent password verification. - 256Gb in the database because 128 is already at any gate, it hasn't even been 5 years since they did it. - One of the best speakers in this kind of laptop that I've heard. - All-metal body, nothing creaks, no backlash. - Pretty compact and lightweight, convenient to take on the road. - Not everyone mentions this, and in my opinion this is one of the key factors when buying. This is a long-term support for the manufacturer of your device. Notebooks for 5-7 years support. No vendor will support your windows laptop for so many years, and that's a fact.
Cons
  • - The price on the 2022 market is clearly too high, but someone might say this is a problem, but nevertheless, the laptop is not sold in a vacuum, similar solutions for windows are in no way inferior, and in most cases even surpass mac. Therefore, when buying, you should carefully weigh the pros and cons. - Cooling system. Although things are much better here than with Air 2022, nevertheless this is not enough because the problem lies, it seems to me, in a slightly different aspect. A very strange approach was implemented by engineers in terms of the reaction of coolers to the load. Those. in heavy tasks, when the laptop starts to warm up to 95-100 degrees, the laptop does not immediately turn on the coolers, i. E. he is still waiting, they say, is it worth turning on the cooling system and after some time turns on the cooler. This approach, in my opinion, is not acceptable and is fraught with degradation of the chip. Hong Kongissible temp. for the chip, you can look at the Intel website infa publicly available. Have to use. third-party solutions like Fan Control or TG Pro. Of course, this is only about scenarios where there is a serious load. - Lack of optimization in Chrome. When working with chrome, the CPU can heat up more and behave extremely unstable, which, by the way, does not happen when working in Safari. Yes, it’s a cool browser in its own way and it has its own convenient features, but I’m more inclined to conclude that the platform developers are just deliberately trying to shield their decision, and then Safary on YouTube stupidly doesn’t even support resolutions higher than FullHD. - The standard calculator is just a shame, you have to use it on your phone. - Screws and maintenance. Such a deliberately complicated implementation, the location of the internal components for replacing thermal paste (unlike machines of 2022) leads to a logical explanation, the company just wants to pump out more dough from us. If you are not that savvy person and do not have the necessary. a set of tools, then it will be easier for you to hand over the laptop in the middle. service center than do it all yourself. Well, thanks at least that the dust from the coolers can be safely cleaned.
