Mediocre product, probably won't use.

After the perfect air of 2022, the controversial PRO 17, I “upgraded” to this model, but now I don’t even know how to determine when the manufacturer will fix all the problems in order to confidently buy a 16 "laptop of acceptable quality. Maybe the 2022 batches will be better or will have to wait for the model ate. It is a pity that the manufacturer is testing a premium product on customers and its marketers have finally defeated the engineers.

Pros
  • Performance: working with raw 42 mpx in C1 comes close to working with JPEG in terms of comfort. The keyboard is nicer than a butterfly (there is 13 "2022). Thin screen bezels - looks good. The cooling fans on my device did not cause acoustic discomfort, they only worked under high load. Everyone noted about the sound of the built-in speakers - yes, it has become even better. I did not have time to notice in two weeks, it seems that the keyboard no longer scratches the display (unlike previous models).
Cons
  • Quality control of the manufacturer's products does not justify the asking price, especially in 2022. I came across a copy from the November 2022 batch - a couple of jambs during assembly were not critical for me, as well as not the brightest screen (from copy to copy the maximum brightness varies up to 10%), less bright than on my 13 "2022. But the noticeable crackling of the coils under load in a quiet room forced me to return the laptop to the seller (and with some loss of funds, since service centers are highly likely to refuse to recognize such a feature of the device as a defect or malfunction). When editing a photo in C1 or a video in iMovie, while watching a video in chrome at minimum volume, the laptop made quiet, but noticeable and annoying rustling and crackling sounds. Digging through the forums, mostly foreign ones, I found that this "effect" is present to one degree or another on many 16" devices, some buyers received devices with the same problem after three returns. I recorded a video with this "effect": youtube. Be/s_9RrVLcG3I
