Revainrating 3 out of 5

The quality was generally satisfied, there were minor shortcomings.

I took to replace the firmware of 2022. First impressions WOW - cool! Second impressions are not so clear cut. those. it's not so much cooler than the 2022 model as it's more expensive. Despite the fact that Proshka 2022 with core 2 duo continues to work properly and supports all modern (2022) photoshops.

Pros
  • Lightweight, quiet, powerful. It was possible to install more RAM with me (16). The speed of work with hard drives internal and external. External hard drive with SSD - gives a reading speed of more than 500 MB. After USB-2 is, of course, fantastic Windu tried to install, but not just a boot camp, but on an external drive. Tested games. Farcry5 pulls at maximum speed. It gets hot, of course, but it works. The Witcher is also normal, GTA5 - you can already forget about the maximum speed. But here it is necessary to test normally and install through the bootcamp. All the same, the old external hard for games is not the most suitable activity.
Cons
  • 1. price tag. 2. many glitches and problems with bluetooth devices. It's just some kind of hood. you turn on the usb-3 disk and that's it, hello, the bluetooth peripherals start to go crazy and fall off, and this is in the laptop for almost 200K. Tim Cook, what is this at all? ! (screenshot from site) 3. The screen, yes, the retina, but what a soiled one it is very poorly wiped off, compared to the old models, thanks for not peeling off yet 4. From the silicone overlay on the keyboard, traces remain on the screen 5. its weight is its plus and its disadvantage. the laptop looks flimsy and not reliable. all packed in covers, pads. Working in a dusty place on the street somewhere with him is creepy. those. everything that I did without thinking with the old firmware I dragged everywhere to different places and countries. here you will think 100 times whether to take it with you, and then shake because of dust particles and scratches. 6. well-known changes. Removed the glowing apple on the lid and the sound when loading. Oh how it's missing 7. not obvious changes APPLE cut out the SPDIF port, but at this moment I did not pay attention and was disappointed when I could not connect the receiver via optics. It's a pity they were. 8. the touch bar didn’t really go in. well, there is. as well as a fingerprint and Siri - I don't need it. when working, I still prefer an external keyboard and monitor and a digital password 9. zero upgrade. with what you bought on board, live with it.
