Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

For work - the most it. Web, office documents, programming - everything is fine. Nothing extra. For gaming, I don't know. For almost 4 years I played only tanks, and even then I abandoned it. Probably into something. But not difficult. There are standard chess. Pros: - Light. And thin. It is a pleasure to carry with you. - Long work from one charge. So far I haven't used it all day. It works on the road (about 1.5 hours), at work for an hour or two, and as a player with a closed screen for 3-4 hours. The charge at home is more than 75%. I brought the charger home and no longer carry it with me. - Screen. Great combination of resolution and size. Everything just sticks like a washboard from a retina. Why is she needed? If you use a retina on a 13 inch and do not scale the fonts, then your vision can be planted. There is also a home 15 inch asus in FullHD display. It's still pretty small on it. You have to either squint, or pull it close to you or bend over it. And I can’t even imagine what will happen in Retina. To me, this is a marketing gimmick. And in addition, the operating time will be greatly reduced. The screen will then consume 4 times or even more energy. - The very concept of Apple has recently pleased that almost all the main tools have become free - operating system, office suite (pre-installed), development environment and even a developer certificate. - Liked the finger gestures on the touchpad. scrolling, zooming and you. py. Its cons: - Moving out of Windows but continuing to work on Windows (second work PC, home PC) is not very convenient. I'm confused about the key combination (copy, switch languages). If you go entirely to the Apple platform, then of course it’s easy, but impossible. - Large bezels around the screen. Yes, it's cool that they are true to their design, but still, in 5 years, technology has gone further. And such wide frames with the current miniaturization affect the width of the device. You can win 2-3 centimeters. And also on weight. - Loud click of the touchpad, And since the usual tap on the touchpad, unlike Windows, does not roll under the click, you can wake up the sensitive at night, you can’t call in the bed next to your wife. =) - Expensive. I use at home a laptop donated 4 years ago and a computer assembled at about the same time. Just put 32 gigs on i7-2600K. Yes, i3 laptop costs 12. If you crawl onto a MAC - what now, what a year ago - you need to sell a kidney. This laptop is working. - Thin - in one case, this is a virtue. In another serious shortcoming. For 2 weeks already three times he was caught in flight. Not only is it thin, and it just flies out of the bag / case, it is also slippery. If it’s slightly tilted and not caught on the legs, it can go. - Some moments familiar in Windows are simply absent. For example, it is impossible to force the laptop not to fall asleep with the lid closed. It's impossible to cancel. I decided to install a third-party utility - NoSleep. - Only two USB ports - more of a nitpick, the main communications are wireless. The mouse and keyboard can be picked up with bluetooth if necessary. Instead of a modem, a phone. - Soldered memory =( Although my model has 8 GB. All the same, a reserve for the future is needed.
