Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

This is the best Mac I have ever dealt with (previously worked on 13" 12th, 13" 15th, 13" 19th, 15" 18th, 13" m1 versions). 13" is still not enough, and the 16" version is too overall, 14" is the ideal form factor for me personally. Also, a huge number of improvements - like a great miniled screen, new design, m1 pro, etc. - made this laptop perfect solution for me personally. Regarding "Bangs": I forgot about its existence on the first day of use, with the help of external utilities (for example topnotch) you can make the top panel black, so it will not be visible at all Also, for context, I'll clarify what tasks I'm doing: 1) programming (usually a couple of intellij idea windows with running applications of medium complexity and tests, several docker containers, a browser) 2) unprofessional work with sound (ableton live, a large number of vst plugins)

Pros
  • 1) holds a charge perfectly - with my tasks it stretches out a working day (or almost) 2) amazing performance - any friezes and lags that I observed were exclusively software in nature 3) nice ated design 4) the best screen on the market 5) excellent sound (only 16" models are better) 6) (IMHO) finally removed the useless touchbar 7) very rarely heats up, almost always the laptop will be cold
Cons
  • 1) if you were hoping that the soft edges in the ated design would not scratch - disappoint, they scratch, but perhaps it's not so noticeable
