The ratio of price and quality is very pleasing, I will repeat the purchase.

I bought a computer somewhere in May. As a replacement for the old one, since it is already hopelessly outdated and you canโ€™t call it compact. I bought mainly for study and to use on trips, sometimes at home. I am happy with the purchase, but the money spent on it is a bit of a pity. Its pros: -Excellent screen. There are no comments here. - Convenient trackpad. The old laptop could only be used with a mouse, the trackpad was terrible there. Thinking that this would not be much better, I immediately bought a mouse, as a result, I practically donโ€™t use it. -Excellent design, compactness, lightness. So to speak, in the spirit of Apple. -Build quality. Also, Apple has never had a problem with this. -Very fast SSD. I got about 600Mb / s for writing and reading (writing a little less, reading more) I heard that the larger the volume in them, the faster the SSD, respectively, if you take the maximum from 1TB, you can count on more. -OS X. I have used Windows all my life, I was worried about whether I could get used to the Mac before buying. I got used to it very quickly, the system turned out to be very simple, convenient, and understandable. It turned out just the opposite, that now I can hardly use Win - after Mac, it seems ugly and completely uncomfortable. -Silent, even when processing photos, games, and other "heavy" programs. - Fairly energy efficient. I didnโ€™t measure exactly how much it works for me, but one charge per day is enough for active use. -The presence of HDMI. It would seem a trifle, but nice. I connect it to a TV or monitor and watch movies. Has some cons: -Built-in graphics. I think for such money they could put a normal video card . By the way, there are not so few games on OS X. First of all, all Blizzard games are on the Mac, and those are the ones I mostly play. In addition to these: Max Payne 3, CoD: BO, Tomb Raider, Metro: Last Light, Civilization5, XCOM, and many more pretty good games. Accordingly, if this is the main purpose of the laptop, then you definitely need to choose something with a good video card and on Win, if you sometimes play, then this one will do. -Price. Yes, I understand that this is Apple, but almost 60,000 for a laptop, albeit a good one, is too much. -Problems with finding software (especially pirated) under OS X. On Windows, you can find any program you need by going to just a few sites, you will need to search here. -Processor, in general, it's normal here. There are no complaints about the work, all programs work fine. Here, rather, a small surprise, which I learned about only after the purchase - it is dual-core. Again, a trifle, but damn it, we live in a world where even in many phones there are 4 cores. And this is a laptop, and not cheap.
