Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

I bought a laptop in May, quite spontaneously, and even at prices before the collapse of the. Now, at the current exchange rate, I would hardly have despaired of giving away an amount twice as large as then. This is my first Mac, although I dreamed of a computer with an apple since childhood, seeing them in computer magazines when their logo was still colorful, unusual and striped :-). It's amazing how the laptop has become friends with the rest of the family - iPhone and iPad - synchronization works with a bang, although there were serious problems with synchronization "over the air" with the previous Windows laptop. Works great with AppleTV - I constantly output movies, series, and sometimes music from my collection to my TV. When buying, I hesitated between the MacBook Pro and Air, but the screen of the latter made me turn away from it. And with similar characteristics (screen diagonal - 13.3", RAM - 8 GB and hard drive - 512 GB), the price of custom Air and ordinary Pro was almost the same, plus a loss in processor frequency. It seems normal to me that a laptop has only two USB ports, because I personally don’t need to connect more than two flash drives at the same time. The touchpad is unrealistically cool, you don’t want to remove your fingers from it. All my peripherals worked with the laptop (two printers, two scanners - some very old, others newer, external monitors and TVs via HDMI, a joystick - which I did not expect at all), no dancing with tambourines, searching for drivers and the like. I use the laptop for surfing, video, music, photo, video, casual toys (although the first game on it was Half-Life 2 ;-) - this is where the MagicMouse donated to the laptop came in handy, although it is not very convenient for games). After seven months, I still admire this miracle every time I open the lid, this is the first laptop that evokes so many emotions, from which you get real pleasure.

Pros
  • Design (the best design is the one that does not catch the eye), screen (single dots are not visible), body materials (aluminum, glass, nice plastic on the keys), touchpad (of all the touchpads I have touched, this is the most convenient), compact charging with cable on a magnet, a luminous apple on the lid.
Cons
  • No
