Review on πŸ’» Apple MacBook Pro 13 Mid 2020 Intel Core i5 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, macOS Silver by Mateusz Praga ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.

I'll list a few here and draw some general conclusions because, regrettably, all the downsides did not fit above. Two ports is obviously insufficient, however this problem can be fixed by purchasing a hub. By the way, I put this down to the negatives because it's not in the box, unlike laptops running Windows, where such a trifle is typically included. In addition, hub standards are not cheap (unless, of course, you want to buy a disposable one), and in the end, you'll need to spend a good deal more money on all these extras like covers, hubs, special sets, and screwdrivers. Generally speaking, the cost must to be mentioned. - A scratched display had happened before. As a result, if you don't want to take any chances, you will either have to collectively farm the film on the screen, which I personally do not recommend doing because it will eventually need to be changed over time and you will start to see bubbles on this display, and it's not necessary to do it constantly. A more useful alternative is to purchase a microfiber cloth and place it between the keyboard and the screen when transporting the Mac. This way, you can effectively wipe the display and remove dust with the same cloth. If you don't take the laptop outside the house, you won't even bother. All the prospective owner really needs to know is probably this: Nevertheless I might add that it is preferable to increase to 16GB of RAM if at all possible. This is everything, basically. This is not my first mac, so I knew about its drawbacks, but I am also aware of its strengths and pluses, so in general, the purchase satisfied. However, you will only be satisfied with the device to a certain extent if you are aware of all the drawbacks and prepared for them.

Pros
  • -Out of the box, the display is excellent, bright, and calibrated. Despite continuous work, eyes do not become fatigued. - Long lasting battery. - A scissor keyboard that is normal, human, and rectified. I waited for them to change the laptop for several years before doing so. because this issue plagued the majority of the poppies I knew. - Thank you for restoring the "Esc" button. While I wouldn't describe the Touch Bar as just amazing, it is quite practical to utilize in specific applications and situations when working. - Easy to open or input a permanent password verification thanks to the T2 chip and quick Touch ID scanner. - 256Gb in the database, even if it hasn't even been five years since they accomplished it, because 128 is already at any gate. - One of the greatest speakers I've ever heard in a laptop of this type. - All-metal construction; no creaking or backlash. - It is portable and lightweight, making it easy to bring anywhere. - This is something that not everyone brings up, but in my opinion it's important to consider before buying. This is a long-term support for your device's maker. notebooks with a lifespan of 5-7 years. It is a reality that no vendor will maintain your Windows laptop for such a long time.
Cons
  • - The price on the 2022 market is obviously too high, but while this may be a concern, the laptop is not offered in a vacuum; comparable Windows solutions are not in any way inferior, and in many circumstances, they even outperform Mac. The advantages and negatives should therefore be thoroughly considered before making a purchase. - A cooling mechanism. Even while things are considerably better than they were with Air 2022, this is still insufficient since, in my opinion, the issue is with a somewhat different component. Engineers adopted a highly peculiar strategy in regards to coolers' response to the load. Those. When performing demanding work, the laptop does not instantly turn on the coolers when the temperature reaches 95 to 100 degrees, i. E. They ask him if it is worthwhile to switch on the cooling system while he is still waiting, and he eventually turns it on. This strategy, in my opinion, is unacceptable and risky for chip degradation. Temporary in Hong Kong. You can visit the publicly accessible Intel website to view the chip. I must use. third-party programs like TG Pro or Fan Control. Of course, this only applies to situations in which there is a significant burden. - Chrome's lack of optimization. Working with Chrome can cause the CPU to become more heated and act highly unpredictably, which, incidentally, is not the case when using Safari. Sure, it's a cool browser in its own right with its own useful features, but Safary on YouTube stupidly doesn't even support resolutions higher than FullHD, so I'm more likely to believe that the platform makers are just attempting to hide their choice. It's a shame you have to use your phone to utilize the normal calculator. - Screws and repairs. The positioning of the internal components for updating the thermal paste (unlike machines of 2022) leads to a logical explanation that the firm is merely trying to extract more money from us. if you lack the required skills and are not so intelligent. It will be simpler for you to give the laptop over in the middle if you have a set of tools. rather to doing everything yourself. At least the cooler dust can be securely cleaned, thank goodness.
