Review on Renewed Apple MacBook Air - 13-inch Retina Display, πŸ’» 1.6GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5, 256GB in Gold (Latest Model) by Adisorn Chuamuangpha ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

I have been using this laptop for about 2 weeks. Before that, I used Air 2022 for about 7 years. The laptop is very good, but not without flaws. Would give it 4.5 stars Summing up, I strongly recommend this laptop for purchase, it is worth the money that is asked for it, but Apple has room to improve it in future models. In general, I would like a Macbook Air 15 with a screen without frames at all in the case sizes from the Macbook Air 13, which were before 2022 - I think that modern technologies already allow this.

Pros
  • 1) In general, I am very pleased with the IPS-matrix screen after the previous generation TN-matrix Air - bright with good color reproduction and clear with a Retina screen - the industry standard. Of course, after using the OLED screen on the iPhone 12, you want even more - but it will most likely be in Air no earlier than 2022, when mini-LED is introduced. 2) The Magic Keyboard is excellent - it's good that they left the butterfly - it's a pleasure to use it. The absence of an unnecessary distracting touchbar in the Air, which increases the cost, I also consider it a plus. 3) The sound is chic (high-quality, does not wheeze, with a large volume margin). 4) Unibody laptop case is one of the best inventions of mankind. Pleasant to use and very durable. A simple test - to crush with a finger with sufficient force on the center of the keyboard - does not bend from the word at all. I repeatedly tried to put pressure on laptop keyboards from other manufacturers in the same price category or even more expensive in stores - a complete disappointment - they all bend even with a little effort. 5) Performance - everything is very fast, without freezes even when a bunch of tabs are open and a lot of programs are running. 6) Autonomy and lack of a cooler, the laptop does not make noise and practically does not heat up. On the Air in 2022, when, for example, the MacOS ate was being installed, the fan was noisy like a helicopter and it got very hot. Not here at all. Also, when Air 2022 was put on the sofa, it sometimes turned off from overheating, there is no such problem with this Air. 7) Fingerprint sensor for Apple Pay - it has become much more convenient to unlock your laptop without entering a password. 8) MacOS Big Sur is a very convenient operating system with a nice interface and everything you need. Deep iOS integration from my iPhone. Notes started on iPhone are immediately synced to Macbook. Easily transfer photos and documents with AirDrop and much more. In general, as they say, β€œApple magic” is manifested here to the fullest.
Cons
  • 1) Small number of ports: only 2 usb type-c and 1 headphone output. Everything would be fine, but I use SD cards - I had to buy a Satechi adapter for this - and this is still almost + 5k, plus I carry it with me all the time if I need to insert cards outside the home and office. 2) Charging is not magnetic Magsafe, but via type-c. It used to be more convenient. I hope they bring it back in future generations. 3) Because the front part, where the screen is installed, now consists of glass from edge to edge - then when you open the laptop in the camera area, fingerprints remain on the glass on a black frame. It turns out that the area where the black frame around the screen is quite easily soiled. 4) The camera is only 720r. Although it is of sufficient quality, I would like to see 1080p already in 20-21 years.
