A wonderful product, its nice to use.

Often when you read reviews about people who bought a MacBook for the first time, you can see something like "oh my god, it has so much! It's so awesome." It is because of such emotionally unformed individuals who do not really know why they buy apple devices, every year Apple technology is considered more and more gay and for girls. This is my second macbook, before that I had a 2022 firmware. To tell the truth, when I bought it, I expected very high performance, because. it was the latest generation I5, high-speed SSD and many other gadgets, but in fact I was surprised by its slowness compared to windows. The system interface on laptops with windows, with hardware is much weaker than on mac, it works faster, much faster. And you don't understand what's going on, why does a 40k laptop run faster than a 140k mac? Of course, my mac 2022 on high sierra was more stable overall, but my other Windows computers responded faster, programs started instantly, etc. The most annoying thing was that when switching between screens with a gesture, there was a clear slowdown. There was a constant lack of RAM and once my poppy even wildly blunted and was close to freezing. Yes, it was once, but I immediately remembered Windows with its constant glitches. In general, I wanted something newer, more productive. So I decided to upgrade and bought MB late 2022 on M1 8GB/512TB. Now we can say that the system works smartly, without a hint of signing. I don’t add a photo, because in appearance, the new poppy is absolutely identical to the previous models. There are differences in the dimensions of the case by several mm, because. the old plastic case became crooked. All files and settings were loaded through the time machine, MS office 365 installed with a bang, everything works. Some programs had to be reinstalled, but nothing critical. In general, I did not even get stress from the transition. IMHO, this is how it should be on mac equipment. Don't be afraid to switch from intel, the new M1 Macs are a completely different experience.

Pros
  • performance. Long battery. The keyboard itself seems to have become more comfortable tactile, but I do not understand. Oh Gods! The ESC key is back. Why it was necessary to do it on the touch bar of previous models is not clear. This is one of the dumbest things Apple has ever done. Now everything is ok. The screen seems brighter in MB pro 2022 comparison.
Cons
  • It is not entirely clear why only 2 USB-C ports. Why are they on the left side, but it is more convenient to use them on the right? Why couldn't you leave 4 or at least 3. Usually 2 ports were enough for me, the LG 24MD4KL-B monitor was connected to one, the Satechi TYPE-C MULTI-PORT ADAPTER 4K WITH ETHERNET V2 USB hub was connected to the other, but it was all on the right, now it will be on the left, not very convenient.
