Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

With a discount for teachers and students in the official store, it costs 85tr in the database. As of April 2022, due to quarantine, this is the lowest price on the market. For understanding, if your child goes to school, then even then you can count on a discount. The cooling system nominally has a fan, its efficiency is minimal, since there are NO heat pipes, and the radiator is not on the fan, but on the processor. This is an artificial deterioration so that non-daiboh air does not turn out to be more powerful than firmware, so the company segments its products. The simplest conclusion here is that it does not make sense to take more expensive versions with i5 and i7, because these processors will overheat and throttling in all tasks in which there could be an increase from them. You will not see this in benchmarks, because tests, unlike real use, are short in time. For reference, the heat pack of the local i5 is one and a half times larger than the heat pack of the i3 in the base and two and a half times more at the peak. Therefore, the battery life on i3 will be longer (see the law of conservation of energy: D the less heat loss, the more energy for useful work). With all this, we must pay tribute to the fact that the i3 laptop works great in everyday tasks and office applications. Of the chips of the ecosystem, it is worth mentioning sidecar - an iPad as a second screen, very convenient. : I was a little worried that it would take off from the virtual machine, but no, I buzzed only during installation and that's it.

Pros
  • All the typical virtues of poppies: screen, sound, ecosystem. In this generation: Long stroke scissor keyboard and more reliable Lower price Increased base memory up to 256GB Actual processor for 2022 Fast DDR4 RAM
Cons
  • Cooling system (see comments), but this is not a minus of a specific 2022 model, but of all airs in the latest body.
