Excellent product, the best quality.

Macbook pro M1/16gb/1tb ssd. Moved from macbook pro 13 2022/8gb/256gb ssd. I made an order on the official website of Apple, yet the MacBook is expensive, I didn’t want to risk with gray stores. Estimated delivery time was listed as something around 8 weeks, but DHL managed in less than 2 (everything was tracked, from China through Germany and straight to Hong Kong). The difference with the previous laptop is just heaven and earth. The old poppy was noisy and heated when opening chrome (about 15 tabs), large excel, several open Word documents and a couple of applications, like spotify + telegram. I read horrors that there is little that can be installed here and it is practically useless at this stage. However, all the programs I needed were installed without any problems and work without any problems. As a big plus, I can note the keyboard of the old scissor format. With a butterfly at MBP 2022 13 'I was really tormented. Here, everything is just fine, the keyboard is tactilely pleasant and you feel at least a little, but the movement of the buttons. The backlighting of the buttons is solid, very bright, I use it halfway, otherwise it hurts my eyes completely). About the vaunted autonomy. Since there is no faith in corrupt bloggers, I divided everything I heard and saw in the reviews in half. BUT! It's really true! The Mac really has amazing autonomy and on the very first day I tried to drain the battery, but it didn’t work out) This is very cool, because on the last flash (13’ 2022/8gb/256gb ssd) the battery was melting before our eyes even from simple surfing the net. Of the minuses (of course, everything is subjective in this regard), for me an unusual 2022 layout, with some kind of chopped off left shift and an uncomfortable vertical enter. But I think it's a matter of habit. Here I can also add a touchbar (useless for me) that I constantly touch with my fingers, plus it’s not very convenient to “blindly” feel the F1-F12 keys. When working with large documents, I connect an external monitor (ideal for a MacBook) LG 27 ’27UL850-W) and a VARMILO VA87M DOUBLE RAINBOW RGB keyboard.

Pros
  • - keyboard! - screen - autonomy - performance
Cons
  • - touchbar (just not an amateur at all) - unusual and uncomfortable 2022 layout (short left shift and uncomfortable enter)
