Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am satisfied, the product fully corresponds to the description.

I bought this model because I needed a replacement for the old lenovo laptop and plus study (I often need a laptop outside the home), the choice fell on a macbook air, I wanted to take 256 memory, but there were only 128 available, so I took it. I thought it was more than my old man, but it turned out to be 5 times less (it's a shame) in the first 2 years everything was super: performance, autonomy, etc. Starting from this year (the third), it often began to make noise to warm up (sometimes it even freezes) + I noticed that the charger cord closer to the plug turned yellow (as if burnt out) it must be changed and probably broke near the plug (wiped); The most important disappointment happened when I had to abandon Photoshop because working for a macbook air in this program is killing your nerves, and they are already killed (I can’t say that I’m against macbook air as it’s great for WORK and study (and for TV shows, of course 😂 ) but as for SERIOUS work in fsh, premiere, etc., this is a useless toy.

Pros
  • + portability (small size and weight) is convenient for a student and work outside the home; + autonomy (in the first year it was 10 hours without recharging, in the second 7-8 hours, now it’s the 3rd year and the average is 6 hours, this is work in Word and something like that, and with active use 3 hours approximately) is enough, in principle, but already want more; + backlit keyboard (convenient because I write a lot late at night);
Cons
  • - Memory; - performance (in the first two years everything was super, of course I didn’t solve many problems, I had to abandon fsh, it’s not convenient at all, but in the third year it began to heat up and make noise often even with 1 open tab on the Internet); - of course the PRICE (I bought it in 2022 for 60k, and now in 2022 it already costs 73k) logically it should have become cheaper, no?! - software ates each time more and more weight (the last Big Sur ate weighs 15GB, I didn’t install it, I don’t have so much extra and free memory).
