Review on Apple MacBook 13 Inch 2 3GHz 256GB by Stanislaw Mirzalek ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend.

In general, with all the minuses and pluses, I still did not find an alternative for myself in the field of 13-inch ultrabooks with a glossy screen - somewhere there was no keyboard backlight, somewhere the fan was very noisy (this laptop even had to be sold), about Dell XPS is enough to read about coil whine. In general, the choice was left for the poppy In general, poppy makes me happy every day. Plus, according to the github, there are less and less difficulties with Linux every month and soon it will probably be a dual boot on my laptop. Still, I would probably like the price a little lower, but these are already subjective Wishlist.

Pros
  • This laptop has everything I need and what I have been looking for in other laptops for quite some time: a glossy screen (for me this is a plus), keyboard backlighting, suitability for working not in Windows (in this case Macos). The laptop is quiet, I heard the cooler only once. Build quality at the highest level
Cons
  • 1. weight - it seems to me that it is too big. I really expected that in the ated poppy it would be at the level of a kilogram, but it did not work out. For me, a man, this is not a very important moment, but for my mother, for example, a laptop is already heavy to wear 2. You can’t really set up Linux on a laptop to this day - on the github it is still indicated that the sleep / wake up mode of the laptop does not work, the sound does not work (with the exception of usb-connected speakers. Many people do not need Linux, but for me it is, on the contrary, a priority and in work and in life, an operating system. In general, also a minus 3. in Makosi itself, it is not easy to set up fonts for a person who does not see well - even if the scale is set to maximum in the system settings - all the same, people with -7/8 note that the fonts are too small. Therefore, before buying, be sure to make sure that the fonts of the system will satisfy you in terms of maximum scale. 4. already noted in other reviews that the buttons click too loudly - this is really so - like a light drum roll. That is, if someone is sleeping in your room or you want to work on a train / plane at night, I think you will be asked to curtail your activities 5. A VERY inconvenient charger with its type-c plug - it literally has to be torn out of the poppy - it sits very tightly in the connector. To take it out, you need to take the laptop in your hand and pull the plug with the fingers of the other hand. Magsafe is very sorry that they removed it
