The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

The setup I have, which includes 16 GB, a Radeon 5300 graphics card, and a 512 SSD, is what I believe to be today's hands-down best for a mobile working device. Future bottlenecks can be avoided by expanding the memory, if desired, with an external nvme-ssd the size of a flash drive that has finally become accessible, and employing an egpu for video. A 6-core, 12-thread i7 processor ought to have a lengthy lifespan. The sole drawback of the configuration is obviously that operatives cannot be added. However, 16 GB is currently very sufficient, whereas 32 GB requires a wait and is prohibitively expensive.

Consequently, a somewhat inflated but still unrivaled computer. A fantastic working tool that is elegant, light, and constantly available. Working toward this is enjoyable. There are many more affordable alternatives for many different activities, but I have never encountered a device that is so essential without evident flaws.

Pros

Typically, Apple laptops: - a reference screen that is neither glaring in the light or wearing down to the eyes. - battery life of 8 hours with intensive use of the Internet, instant messengers, basic photo editing, and multimedia (music, YouTube). - form factor: a sizable screen that is under 2 kg in weight and has amazing power. - Ease of attaching peripherals (4 type-c ports are identical; you can connect a monitor, an external drive, charging, etc., adapters, and peripherals with port support to any one of them). - In the most recent Mac OS versions, the touch bar's functionality has substantially enhanced; it is now much more than simply a flashy gimmick but a useful, highly customisable working tool. - The Mac os operating system runs well, may be customized (which is worth at least carefully crafted shortcuts and scripts), and syncs with other Apple ecosystem devices. Nothing protrudes, falls off, or brings unpleasant surprises. Comparing this specific model to 15 2022-2022: - The keyboard is noticeably softer on the new-old version and does not have the issues the "butterfly" did. Personally, working on it makes me feel much more at ease. Very amazing performance. 3–5 times faster on average when rendering films than the model from 2022. pulls two 4K displays while having numerous tabs open for spreadsheets, instant messengers, and other applications. a more effective cooling system. Under load, noise is there, but because its frequency is lower than before, it is not as annoying. – quite sound. Six speakers, top and bottom clearly audible, powerful, clean, and uncluttered. You can watch movies and listen to music without frowning. - It is highly practical to have a separate touch ID and esc button. Additionally, this is the first poppy that you can play on without much difficulty. All existing games smoothly output 60 fps at high settings in full HD (but Windows must be installed; toys work poorly in Makosi).

Cons

- Price. Quite cliched, but you can get an analogous machine that performs practically any activity for less money (text - Macbook Air for 90k, games - a variety of laptops running Windows, starting at 60-70k, video editing - the same Imac will be less expensive, not to mention stationary PC). The already hefty price increased dramatically as a result of the swings in the currency rate and the shortfall brought on by the widespread switch to remote work. – Loud while under load. Even if it's not as unpleasant as it once was, the sound is undoubtedly present. - The sound quality will be lower if you use it as a stationary device that connects two displays with a closed cover. Additionally, if you connect two 4k screens and choose the "looks like 2560x1440" or higher preset format, you'll hear fan rustling more frequently. While the poppy continues to grow, the temperatures are not optimum, as evidenced by the fans. - Weird software problems: On the first iterations of macOS, there were complaints about the "crunchy" sound that the speakers made when nothing was being played (resolved since 102022.3). It now irritates me that a PC in sleep mode can reboot (turning off Power Nap helps till it's repaired). - The RAM system has an odd way of working: "How much you give him, so much he will eat." I make comparisons with my other soldiers who overpaid for the 32-gig version.
