Review on Renewed Apple 13in MacBook Pro with Retina Display and Touch Bar – 3.1GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Space Gray by Adam EK ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The average product, you can find a better one.

If you are "La professional" who does not know how to work on other software on Windows and you are forced to use this garbage because of your laziness, then take it, you will not regret it, just prepare 2 boxes at once. The first to be sent to the service center of this device and the second with a new macbook, because in the service you will be charged half the cost of a new laptop.

Pros
  • Matrix quality and calibration. Autonomy. On later versions of MacOs, there is an option not to wind cycles when charging up to 80%.
Cons
  • Another scam for dallars. Switched to this model from Macbook Pro retina 15 2022 with iris pro graphics and nvidia 650M. I thought it would be cool toffee plus a new generation of all that, but it turned out that the old integrated graphics of 2022 are productive 3 times exactly in the same Aboba CC 2022 and indeed in general. For the sake of interest, I launched the Dysco Elysium game on it. It works in 15 frames at minimum settings in resolution as in plecstation 3. On the old retina, even discrete graphics were not needed, on this game, specifically, iris about graphics produced 40 frames per eye in full HD at high settings. Thin case, the display cover is scary to open and close, especially after 2022-18 models where the cable was torn when the cover was opened more than 89 degrees. Typical Masonic breeding for dallars. Since 2022, this computer, like any other Macintosh, has been operating on the principle of "we warm up to 80 degrees and then turn on the valves to the maximum", which subsequently results in the wear of the fans and wipe off the thermal paste as well as the heat pipes.
