Review on Renewed Apple 13in MacBook Pro with Retina Display and Touch Bar – 3.1GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Space Gray by Stanisaw Lewczuk ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not exactly the product that I wanted, the price and quality do not match.

I took it purely for compilation and general development. Basically, it works. Sometimes I look at it something online. There are no complaints about the piece of hardware itself, although no, there is, you can forgive a fixed RAM, it is almost eternal, but it’s hard to forgive a fixed SSD. When his term expires, then your Mac "after the twelfth blow" will turn into a "pumpkin" - USELESS trash. I have a laptop in 2022 - working, trust in the manufacturer - appropriate. You connect an external drive to the poppy, make sure that it doesn’t format it for you, it doesn’t care that you have a different FS and data there, although Windows hasn’t gone far in this regard either, one “Linux” is great. Somehow it hung and did not respond, or rather the touchpad did not react until the Internet pulled out. Like "I'm not up to you, I have the Internet, go through the forest." Yes, I also bought an iPhone, 11. - Son, what did your dad say to you that you broke the car. - Mate skip? - Yes. - He said nothing. I won't say anything about him. Super idea: "Let's convince people that storing their data in the cloud is cool. We will include the cost of 4 Tb SSD in the price of the device, but we will put only 128 GB in the device itself. And now - ta-da, we will offer for money a place in cloud, because there is not enough of it on the device.", this is how I see it. I could not see what kind of files were stored in the cloud - ~ 30 photos someone (or a poppy or an iPhone) managed to upload. What for such a cloud in which something is stored, but what, you will not see, finder showed some "left" folder and that's it. I* W* Free 5 GB? Yes, I have a flash drive (3-4 pieces) for 32, and it connects to a computer and a smartphone. I still do not understand what is good about this manufacturer? AND* Buying just for the fun? Yes, there are some ideas, programs and services that are worth considering, but how economically justified this is is the question. At the expense of the cloud - there are a lot of other services, and in the photo the box is SSD 1 Tb ~ 10 kr., "cheap and angry" replacement for the cloud, works without I-net at a speed of 10 Gbps. And - intrigue. Щ - "generosity". C - "stability". S is sarcasm. Sarcasm and irony.

Pros
  • The sound is noticeably different from conventional laptops. The screen, although the difference is not particularly dismantled, but they say good. The touch bar, or whatever this strip with a "virtual" keyboard is, is a cool idea. Oddly enough, I installed: Open office, Lazarus, GIMP, VLC, Opera and other little things.
Cons
  • Price - you can take 2 ordinary ultrabooks with similar characteristics, yes, the case and screen will be a little worse and the sound is simpler, but it's not so pitiful to use. SCH* Can't in NTFS, read only, can't in Android memory. Although for money, if you buy a program, maybe this and that. SCH* Unable to replace SSD. About putting a larger volume, I generally keep quiet. For those who don't know, SSDs are more prone to wear and tear during use. The absence of any external indication: power, disk, radio modules - it is not clear what and in what state it is, it is charging, it is not, Wi-Fi / bluetooth is on or not, it is sleeping or off - it is unknown. If you leave it for a few days, you can stay with a discharged battery - what it does in a dream is incomprehensible, you leave a Windows laptop - it will go into hibernation and will gobble up no more than 3%, I'm not even worried. X-code wants to ate, but cannot, because there is not enough disk space (18 GB free), and it still does not tell you how much it needs, maybe 100 MB, or it can format the entire disk. I* S* The first, but no, the second ate "broke" the USB port, although it worked later, but it was unpleasant, the Internet is via a USB Ethernet adapter, and bam - it doesn't work, I thought the port was covered. I* S* Several times it hung up, and many times it rebooted on its own, an error occurred. WITH* Total 2 USB type C ports, while charging - count 1. Щ* You can run into fraud with a purchase or subscription. SCH*
