Review on 15.4" Apple MacBook Pro 15 Mid 2018 2880x1800, Intel Core i7 2.6 GHz, RAM 16 GB, DDR4, SSD 512 GB, AMD Radeon Pro 560X, macOS, RU, MR942RU/A, space gray by Jnis Uptis ᠌

added May 2022: Terrible keyboard issue. keys are not repaired separately. Apple offers to change the keyboard to the same one, but it is officially recognized that this is a design feature for new models. from 2022 make other keyboard models. Pros below: compare with macbook pro 13 and macbook 12 which i had for a few years SIZE: when you look in the store compared to the macbook 12 and 13, it seems to be big. But in life, it is not very big and not too heavy to carry around with you all the time. In the end, only about 2 kg and after a few days you don’t see much difference in what to wear: macbook 13 or 15. SCREEN: the screen is great - size matters! after 12 and after 13 inches it feels like you are sitting at a large monitor. You don’t seem to notice the built-in color correction, but if you turn it off, you can see the color changes to blue. The conclusion is that it is better to let it be. KEYBOARD: On a macbook pro 13, several keys failed after 3 years. On macbook 12, the keyboard clicked, of course you can get used to it. The keys are soft on this one (because of the new silicone pads?). Generally comfortable. The touchbar in life is really more convenient than I thought. It is quite possible to live without keys BUT sometimes you need Esc and it is not very convenient to press blindly on Esc on the touchbar. TOUCHPAD: in moderation PRINT SCANNER: really convenient. But why was Face ID built in instead? BATTERY: if you only watch sites with a browser, then it lasts for 5-6 hours calmly. As soon as you start something heavy, the battery quickly runs out. But you can recharge from an external battery via usb-c. The fan rarely turns on, usually when something heavy is started. PORTS: 4 usb-c ports - convenient! in fact, the more the better. PERFORMANCE: not a super rocket, but enough for the browser and small programming tasks. The browser is actually a little more comfortable, especially when there are a lot of tabs - it doesn’t get stupid, unlike macbook 13 and macbook 12. Has cons: May 2022: the keys have been buggy for several months now. jammed the space, purge helped. several keys with letters are buggy like this: it doesn’t work, then it does double input. Very annoying and very annoying! Apple offered to change the keyboard but it will take two weeks. This is an officially recognized problem! Moreover, they change to the same keyboard and it can also start to fail. I do not recommend buying macbook models from 2022 to 2022 at all! Moreover, the replacement of the keyboard without a guarantee will cost 500-700 dollars. maybe the entire upper part with the batteries glued inside changes. Nothing is repaired separately. ——- overall 99% better than expected so far this is the best macbook ever
