Review on (Renewed) Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch Core 🖥️ i5 Retina 2.7GHz (MF840LL/A), 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD by Mateusz Smoliski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm satisfied, it's a good purchase.

I took a macbook for rendering, sound recording, programming and gaming. I didn’t know that I was so hungry for a MacBook before, now I’ll write so many shortcomings. This is better than a laptop on the seven, but I remembered how I had 40 thousand on hand, and regretted the purchase. It's not worth it. If you have nowhere to put your money, or you need it for professional purposes so much that it will pay off very quickly - take it. On the last pennies or on credit, without the need - no.

Pros
  • High read speed from solid state drive, good screen. The most important advantage is the operating system, it effectively uses RAM, and not like Windows - 6GB for the audio driver. Saves battery life well. Silent at not resource-intensive work. Well, design.
Cons
  • Since this laptop is very expensive for its hardware and does not have an emphasis on any one detail for which others are sacrificed, you need to evaluate it with all severity, for such a price I want a laptop that may not be so powerful, but has a minimum of drawbacks, but they are: compared to a read speed of 700mb / s, the write speed is more than two times slower, 300mb / s, although this is fast for a drive. The laptop itself is generally unrepairable, so if something breaks after the warranty expires, you will have to buy a new one, I can guarantee that the battery will not hold even half the charge in five years, at best. Swap file, spotlight, a few other handy services had to be cut down in favor of the durability of the solid state drive. There is no numpad on the keyboard, inconvenient 2022 keyboard layout. Only 2 USB ports, but as many as two Thunderbolt ports, to which you can only buy adapters. The speakers sound bad for a universal laptop for 45,000+ thousand, and software amplification is heard in monitor headphones at + 85% volume. The integrated video chip does not pull the retina, I. E. sometimes the animation of some action in the system lags, and the browser also lags, even when scrolling, but safari least of all. When surfing the Internet, for example, it is silent. However, it is worth starting something to be rendered or some kind of toy, and instead of a macbook, you hear a vacuum cleaner or a tsunami that heats up to 60+ degrees, cooling is a weak point.
