Review on 🖥️ Renewed Apple 15-inch MacBook Pro, Retina, Touch Bar, 2.9GHz Intel Core i7 Quad Core, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, MPTT2LL/A - Space Gray by Wiktor Franko ᠌

Unfortunately, compactness has a downside. And it was not without jambs. 1. It's just godlessly noisy for a fresh laptop. There were severe problems with the i9 in 2022 and they seem to have been fixed. But the fact is, the 2022 i9 is much noisier than my 5 year old 2022 i7 under the same usage scenarios. It can overheat even when you have several tabs open in chrome and watch youtube videos at the same time. I didn’t hear my last MacBook at all in the first year of use, for which I loved it as a quiet and extremely comfortable machine for work. 2. The overall maintainability is lower. Replacing thermal paste is already more difficult due to the fact that you need to remove one of the boards. And it will have to be changed often, apparently, with such a noise level. 3. Don't expect too much to play with toys. This is despite the powerful graphics card and processor. It is clear that macbooks, in principle, are not for this. But still. Sometimes, in a fit of nostalgia, you want to launch a good old toy in 2d. Either you put up with the fact that even on the first Fallout the fans will run at maximum and you will actually your laptop, or disable the turbo mode of the processor through special programs. 4. TouchPad is too big. Sometimes there are false touches. 5. Lacks tactile feedback TouchBar. But this is a price to pay for the flexibility of use. 6. The keyboard takes some getting used to. Although it turns out to print faster, perhaps due to less key travel. For those who type a lot of texts, I advise you to take the American version. I have for the RF - the left shift is very small, and Enter is narrow and located far away - it's inconvenient to reach. 7. The sound of the speakers seemed worse to me compared to the 2022 model. 8. Battery life. For the first time, it was discharged from me to zero in just 3-3.5 hours. I watched a video on youtube (albeit in 4k), the rest of the time I just surfed, installed the necessary software.
