Review on Renewed Apple MacBook Air 13.3" with Retina Display, Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM and 128GB SSD - Space Gray MVFH2LL/A by Adam Kardasz ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No minuses as such, comfortable to use.

The first MacBook and personal laptop in general: I can only compare with the once-working Mi Notebook Air 13.3, which is much more dependent on the outlet, Windows sores and the almost complete lack of noise isolation - but it’s definitely more productive, with a wide screen, just as beautiful and noticeably cheaper. I am very glad to finally touch the adult world of Apple, learn good or bad lessons in it and finally understand whether it is necessary or not.

Pros
  • + Beautiful: no matter how funny it is, but passing by hypertrophied boxes with a bunch of ruffles and stickers for the Witcher on ultras, it becomes uncomfortable - but "you need to look for foreign ones." The MacBook here is flawless. + Lightweight: scary to drop, dangerous to hold - I didn’t have such light machines for really Work in my hands, so it’s cool what can I say. + Quiet: gave several browser tabs under load, Lightroom, video - like sucking on a pacifier, and dead people with braids are standing along the road. And silence. + Autonomous: I tormented him for six hours in a row from the box after delivery, in a permanent load - I ate the battery without a stir. Lyut, of course, ahead - but so far the buzz. -/+ Responsive: to be honest, I expected more from SDD in 1818 - the response of programs from click to launch cuts the impression, some animations - even regular ones - slow down and the eye trained by 60 FPS and 120 Hz monitors will quickly be disappointed. But, this, of course, is the price for all of the above - and it’s not critical, yet. -/+ Clear: 2K working resolution, Retina and other goodies are very good for working with photo-video content - but the screen is really dark.
Cons
  • - Fragile: scary to hit the keys, a very unusual and weightless move even for a girl. The touchpad hasn't scratched yet, but my nails are ready to be tested with god knows what results. The case looks cool and solid, but it's aluminum, which is quite soft. - Expensive: brand / weight / software / length of service - I understand and resign myself perfectly, but the minimum equipment even for ~ 75 thousand wooden ones is horror, gentlemen. At the same time, not every new laptop is a work of art in everything, and this only once again leads to shaking when choosing. (?) Not productive: I suffered for a long time between it and Pro 17th - I decided to take it fresh and still in doubt, because I don’t really see the vaunted software / OS optimization (unless it rests on autonomy), some Ph is not loaded much faster than a hospital - well, I refuse to run games even once a week. I did not take a monster for the second Doom, yes - but I would like something consonant with it. Wait and see. - Complete: already laid out a couple of thousand for the cherished hub with all the adapters, in the future you will need a more powerful power adapter, a case, a mouse, cables and God knows what else. "Magic Apple", yes, I know what it was - but it does not touch the people's anger like mine.
