Review on (Renewed) Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch Core πŸ–₯️ i5 Retina 2.7GHz (MF840LL/A), 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD by Jnis Griis ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very pleased with this purchase, will recommend it to everyone!

The screen is glossy (the picture is not cloudy, as on matte ones), but it does not particularly mirror - there is a coating on the glass, approximately like on the lenses of camera lenses. The speakers are of good quality - the sound is clear and loud. In general, this laptop lives like a netbook, but it can squeeze the maximum as a hospital. No need to carry a charger! You slam the lid and go, it will last a very long time in this state, you open the lid anywhere and continue working, it is ready to work in a second. If you put windows, then at 2560 * 1600px at 13 inches - nothing is visible, scaling does not work adequately in all programs, and if you change the resolution, then everything is blurry, but on MacOS, scaling is very adequate without any hint of blur, everything is drawn clearly.

Pros
  • IPS matrix of the highest class The battery lasts almost 10 hours (wifi + bt, brightness at 70%, a text editor, web server, mailer, browser are running). The keyboard is quiet, comfortable, soft. Keyboard backlight SSD squeezes out almost 700-800 megabits (pci-e)
Cons
  • Memory 8 gig, I would like at least 16, well, the memory can not be upgraded here, it is soldered into the motherboard. The body is easily scratched. Windows has a problem with high density screens.
