Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

The first thing you notice after the old macbook models is the retina screen and stereo sound. With the latter, it became really nice to listen to music. The touchpad began to accommodate the entire hand; comfortable. Otherwise, the same familiar macbook. Touch ID - rarely used. The touchpad on the keyboard is used in the same way as regular buttons on older models without a pad. I want to say that there is no mania to constantly climb into this panel to edit settings or when formatting text. I consider this "feature" inflated marketing. After the first days, this entertainment got tired. Force touch - in two months of work, I have not used it once. I really liked TrueTone, it is incredibly pleasant for the eyes to work in the evening. Saddened by all the same old problems of the macbook series - it's like a stove. After installing a simple game Gris, less than 10 minutes passed, as the touchpad became not very pleasant to touch. If the laptop is on its knees, it gets hot. The advantages I want to include type -c connectors; no matter how you look at them, the future. It is convenient when the whole ecosystem contains type-c. Only the power supply from the macbook remains in the outlet, which charges both phones and headphones and all the rest of the rubbish. But the nostalgia for the old detachable magnetic connector remained - it was cool. Saved a laptop's life more than once. Now we need to be more careful. Do I consider the cost of the sold old macbook + 130,000 above an adequate price? Of course not, but there's nothing you can do about it.

Pros
  • Screen. Sound. IO performance. Fast charging.
Cons
  • Warming up. Before that I had a 2022 macbook pro 15. The same engineering solutions for cooling as now.
