Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

It feels like a heavy cast-iron brick (apparently due to the small thickness and high density of iron inside). Not a minus, because offset by iron power. If you are not a neurotic who reacts to unnecessary sounds, then the product is definitely worth the money. Pros below: Screen (bought because of it): pleasing to the eye, size, the very fact of retina. Touchpad: no complaints. I was especially pleased with how it is integrated with MacOS. Before that, I used MacOS only on a desktop computer and it was terribly infuriating (I was sitting on Windows under a bootcamp). Here I really fell in love with Macos and I'm thinking about switching to it. Everything flies (so far), even games. Has some cons: Makes a crackling sound under certain loads, just like HDDs used to. Usually when scrolling some random things or heavily loading something. It's actually currents in coils or something like that. The sound is not loud and even "pleasant" frequency (not squealing, as in some electronic devices). Judging by the Internet, the problem is known, it occurs to everyone and the guarantee does not help in any way, because they replace it with the same one. Everything would be fine, but you don’t expect that a solid device for 160k, released by Apple in 2022, will make extraneous sounds. Lack of USB ports. I would not write it down as a disadvantage if it was possible to connect an Apple wired keyboard to a laptop through a regular adapter. It turned out that for such a keyboard you need an adapter with its own power supply, and this is kapets. In addition to the usual adapter, I had to buy an Apple wireless keyboard. Fn key to the left of Ctrl (windows users won't like it). The reverse side of the touchpad plus in macOS is that in Windows it works much crookedly and poorer. This is given the fact that I spent some time searching for various devices and drivers that supposedly should solve the issue.
