Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

About accessories. I highly recommend using the original Magic Mouse 2. Perhaps not everyone will be comfortable with its shape, but this is compensated by its functionality and appearance. It looks very nice, it itself consists of a touch panel, it is unrealistically convenient to manage swipes, switch applications (similar to alt tab), return to the previous page and back on a tab on the Internet. The wheel is made as a swipe with one finger, very convenient, there have never been false positives, and it works in any part of the mouse, not just in the middle. In fact, there is 1 key here, RMB and LMB is determined by the area in which you click. On the left side - LMB, on the right - RMB. In general, the mouse is very comfortable.
I can’t say much about the keyboard, it doesn’t have killer features that make it worth using only it. But it is also made of metal, all the same color as the mouse and poppy, one color. Small, very comfortable. All accessories work great with the poppy, everything connects instantly and automatically, and turns off by itself too. The batteries of accessories last a long time, you need to charge it once a month, and charging does not take much time.

About the ecosystem. It is very convenient when everything works together. You can copy text on your phone, paste on your computer. Start watching videos on your iPhone and continue on your computer. Same with websites, screenshots and photos. Photos automatically appear on the computer, now you do not need to transfer them to yourself in the messenger to save them to your computer. When a friend comes and you need to download a file from his device, you can do it in one click.

Summing up, we can say that new Macs on the M1 chip are definitely worth buying and upgrading from previous models with Intel if you want more performance and silence.

Pros

-Power. Compared to previous versions on intel. I do not notice any brakes and jerks, everything flies. -Fast SSD. - Ecosystem. -Accessories. - Noiselessness. -Frame. -Support Apple. -Inclusion speed. - System ate. More details below. -About the power. Before that, I had a MacBook Air on Intel 2022, worth 95 thousand, I compare it with it. It is absolutely quiet here, the fan has never heard. On the MacBook, the turntables were noisy even in the browser, no programs could be launched, even the GFN cloud service wildly heated the computer. Here the computer is always cold. Even running a demanding game, he became a little warm, but there was no noise from the turntables. I don’t know about performance, I don’t do professional tasks. In ordinary tasks it feels great, and I play on the console. About integrated graphics. On a MacBook with a built-in Intel, even Minecraft at the minimum did not pull. Here you can easily run Minecraft for children, undemanding toys. In House flipper on minimum settings it gives out 180 fps. High 60s, ultra 40s. Obviously not much, but this is not a gaming machine. For embedding, these are excellent indicators. -About the body and dimensions. The computer itself is very small relative to the PC, to compare photos with some items. But the case could be smaller, the engineers apparently did not have time or were too lazy to rework it. Half of the case is simply free, the iron takes up very little space. Theoretically, this could fit into a slightly larger Apple TV case. The case itself is completely metal (except for the back panel), it feels nice and premium, it is made very high quality, everything is perfect, there are no complaints. As for incompatible applications, I have never been hurt by the fact that some applications are missing or something does not work. For me personally, everything is perfect here and everything works.

Cons
