A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

I am an old apple cub, in 1999 I bought an iBook, loved it and suffered with it at the same time, then in 2022 a 15" MacBookPro (then it was like now 16" in terms of power and price). Well, a few iMacs in between. Now I needed a powerful device to work with GoPro videos, surf, torrents, infrequent movies and very infrequent games. I also needed a station to sync my iPhone, all my iMacs are extremely outdated. Sometimes pick up something frivolous in After Effect for videos, a little Motion, and, well, mostly Final Cut. I took i9, 1tb. The power of Kanesh is simply incredible. Rendering in AE is going on, torrents are swinging, you can continue to sculpt something in Final Cut and no, NO brakes at all)) Yes, at this moment it’s 75-80 degrees, the keyboard is hot, the fans are at maximum, but no lags at all. I'm surprised to be honest. On all my previous computers there were drawdowns in such tasks. There isn't. All this is accompanied by a wild battery of course. Under a load of 70-90%, the battery can take 1 hour. When surfing in Google Chrome at 50% brightness - the clock. Well, 8-9 hours forecast. Music, movies - 5-6 hours, depending on the brightness of the screen. This is still a fresh battery. The speed of releasing a movie in Final Cut is amazing - a minute of 2704x1520 video with a bitrate of 70 mpbs is released in h264 in 25 seconds. It's just fantastic for my mind. Yes, most likely, I needed to take an iMac again for my tasks and not sweat about heating the laptop, but I really want to mount it while sitting in an armchair and lying in bed))

Pros
  • -power - excellent screen - excellent sound for a laptop -ssd is just ultra fast, but I have never had a computer on such a drive, so this is just an unfounded admiration. There are probably faster drives. - hull quality -nice clave (we'll see in terms of reliability) -the brightness of the keyboard (at the minimum it is quite enough, you could not do the adjustment at all))) -touch bar (never happened, but I don’t see much advantage, it’s more of a toy actually) -Fucking touch sensor on the power button. And payments and access - all through it, very convenient. - the Esc button is physical. With a touch sure it would be uncomfortable.
Cons
  • -on renderings it gets hot as hell and yells with fans -too big touchbar, it's unusual for me. Why make it so big when you can just turn up the sensitivity. - under the keys of the clave, light breaks through, but these are the features of scissors - under Catalina, 32-bit programs and games do not run, but this does not apply to the laptop of course -too strong heating of the entire laptop on heavy tasks, but this is already physics, until they can jump above it, but they try very hard. -probably the price, but try to make a similar laptop and sell it for at least 100k. These are unique things and ask for absolutely reasonable money for them.
