Review on 13.3" Apple MacBook Pro 13 Late 2020 2560x1600, Apple M1 3.2 GHz, RAM 8 GB, SSD 512 GB, Apple graphics 8-core, macOS, RU, MYDC2RU/A, silver by Micha wierczewski ᠌

So far, the impressions from using the model are purely positive (pah-pah-pah over the left shoulder), but the atmosphere of some kind of evil rock that accompanies Apple's transition from Intel products to processors of its own production is clearly felt in the air and negatively affects the overall impression. With its pros: + Price: yes, everyone is used to the fact that Apple products are far from cheap, but in this case, Apple was able to release a new and more productive model, which turned out to be cheaper than its predecessor models; + Screen: To be honest, it's hard for me to describe its merits compared to the screens of previous Macbook Pros, but I can say with confidence that only in Apple laptops have I seen screens that were initially calibrated for the needs of photo and video processing; + Performance: No matter how you look at it, it has grown compared to any Macbook Pro 13 of past generations. Of course, when compared with a desktop iMac or Macbook Pro 16, the alignment may not be in favor of the M1 at all, but when comparing relevant models, the advantage is obvious. Cons: - Overpriced ROM. As a result, it makes no sense to purchase a model with an SSD larger than 256Gb (it's better to just buy an external SSD later, for example, Samsung Portable SSD T7 2 TB); - Tightly soldered components on the board, making it impossible to upgrade; - Incompatibility with an external video card, although this is not only a disadvantage, but also an advantage: you do not have to think about purchasing such a peripheral device; - Unavailability: there are very few laptops on M1, especially with 16 gigabytes of RAM, in store warehouses, so it's not so easy to buy it; - Public distrust of ARM: despite the fact that neither I nor my friends personally encountered any bugs, I managed to get quite nervous after watching Roman Yastreb's review, which dealt with Apple's shortcomings in creating laptops based on the M1 processor.
