Review on Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch with M1 Pro chip, 10-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD in Space Gray (2021 Model) by Aneta Jastrzbska ᠌
A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.
Today, this is an ideal solution not only for photographers, but also for those who do not work with programs sharpened only under Windows (for example, 1C accounting or something similar). This is the ideal computer for creative people, which, in the Apple ecosystem, seamlessly complements the overall ease of operation. I also like the simplicity and logic of the system, after buying a computer you do not need to spend time cleaning and optimizing the system from unnecessary garbage and installed partner software. It's very cool that the kit comes with an office suite from Apple, a simple iMovie video editor (you can already do something interesting with the video) and even a music writing program - GarageBand (not bad for a start). All in all, Mac is a ready-to-use tool that saves you time. Despite the shortcomings - this is the perfect computer for today. With regards to the bangs and the arrangement of letters on the keyboard - I did not notice any problems, for me it's far-fetched. Although it is possible that such things bother someone. on the Market - I would combine all the models into one, and leave the options in the configurator. This would be correct - since in fact, this is one and the same computer.
- - MagSafe is also in place with a detachable charging cable, at work I charge from Apple's 20 watt charger from the iPhone; - 3 USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports; - the presence of a card reader, only for the sake of it I have been waiting for this model for so many years; - HDMI port, no adapters needed - plug in a standard cable and you're ready for work or presentation (there could have been problems with adapters before); - the M1 Pro processor is efficient, but not as autonomous as the regular M1 (the autonomy of the M1 shocked me). - excellent sounding of the built-in laptop acoustics, I have not heard anything better in this form factor (the guys from work did not believe that a laptop could sound like that); - Touch ID fingerprint scanner - a very convenient solution, instead of entering a password (especially in public places); - the best keyboard, and if you take the Apple Keyboard 2/3 (they completely repeat the keyboard on the topcase) - no need to get used to the layout of the keys; - physical buttons, instead of the touchpad. - the screen is enlarged to 14 inches and slightly extended in height, and the OLED screen gives the maximum black - true color. - with all this, it remains as mobile as possible (Air, of course, is lighter and smaller). - close work of other devices in the Apple ecosystem - devices complement each other and expand the possibilities of use.
- - A very controversial decision with a black keyboard backing - now all the dust and dirt is very visible and looks unaesthetic (photo 2, after three weeks of use and wear). - The lid with the screen bends (the distance from the keys to the screen cover is scanty), which is why there are traces of the keys on the screen (specially attached photos to show how it is). - The third drawback follows from the second - there will be wear on the screen cover. At first, I didn’t worry about it, but now I wiped the screen to perfect condition and saw the wear of the coating. - Ergonomically very close location to each other of all ports, which causes inconvenience when disconnecting devices. If something is inserted into the nearest ports, then you can pull it out of the laptop only by lifting it from the side and taking the connector from above and below, and not on the sides. - When working with external HDDs, I have to wait each time for the disk to spin up, and the disk stops quite often, in my case - a Thunderbolt drive. - We can not say that there are no glitches - there are! But, the convenience and overall stability of the work still outweigh. Someone is comfortable with Windows - I don't mind, so you need to look at laptops from other companies. - An important point worth paying attention to is the ideology of choosing a configuration. It doesn’t work like this here - I bought it, and then I’ll add RAM and the volume of the SSD drive. It is worth taking care of this in advance. If earlier it was possible to buy a laptop from Apple and if you don’t like it within a month, turn it in, but now we don’t have such an opportunity. Therefore, it is worth paying close attention to this, once again!
