The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

Extremely fast SSD that you don't have time to notice how a whole file is transferred up to 30-50GB. It heats up only under load and everything is within the limits, throttling was not noticed. Processor i7-8850H. ated: Forced the laptop to underestimate the frequency. Heating 100 degrees - drops to 3.4Hz, more than worthy for such a laptop size.

Pros
  • Retina True Tone screen, long battery life and performance.
Cons
  • For 5 days it is not revealed.

Expectations were not met, average quality.

In the absence of compeion, there is nothing more to take :) I think that if you already have a similar model of 17, there is not much point in ating. It should be taken only if you need a bigger screen, or upgrade from a very old machine. IMHO. Has some pros: The new Butterfly 3 keyboard. Quite controversial, I liked the tactile feedback on the 2nd version more, there every keystroke was a pleasure, this is no longer the case here - silicone pads take their toll. Thunderbolt 3 ports now just…

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.

I am completely satisfied, item complies with description.

I hung the system only twice in half a year under 5 included graphical applications. The top device, of course, but the price of 180 k. saddens.

Pros
  • Screen materials Work speed Charging speed The battery lasts 2-3 hours intensive in Photoshop and Sketch Not heavy Touchpad, fabulous By the way, the sound is excellent - comparable to the round Sony srx column
Cons
  • Apple does not glow The button stuck on the first day I didn’t understand what for the touchpad strip - I really use the pipette only in the sketch and as a volume control.

Average purchase, there is something to complain about.

I haven’t managed to use it 100% yet, but the listed shortcomings are very disappointing, you don’t expect this from a laptop for 150k. the old mac air is perfect except for the screen. The old one is good, but already old. so it turns out that you have to compromise . , but is it necessary? Different pros: I compare with my old air 14 years old. while in use a little, I did not have time to install all the programs, so I can not say in terms of performance. oh well, I want to write about…

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

Works like clockwork! At the moment, macOS Ventura 13.1 (22C65) is installed. All programs fly, from heavy ones: Photoshop 2023, Pixelmator Pro, Ableton Live 11, Movavi Video Editor 2022 Plus. I've been using Mac for a long time and don't want to change. It's a pity that the "Touch Bar" was removed in the new models, a very convenient thing ihmo

Pros
  • Touch bar Build quality Performance Keyboard backlight Battery economy
Cons
  • There are no disadvantages!

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

The ports, contrary to expectations, were not strained, I took 2 adapters to USB-A and am calm. But for photographers, the lack of an SD card reader can upset. I advise you to take the PCT, because. the warranty is 2 years (according to ZOZPP), and not one (very important for such a keyboard), and you can (and should! ) reassign the useless "±" key to escape using Karabiner It is worth buying a protective case right away, because. the same screen is three times thinner compared to 2022, the…

Pros
  • Dimensions: In size closer to the old 13", you can carry in a backpack without straining your back. Performance: 8850H - great CPU, performance in Unity on par with desktop 8700 I was pleasantly surprised by the real data exchange rate (reading ~ 2600, writing ~ 1600, no kidding). I expected a little more from a discrete video card (560X), it is at the level of the desktop Nvidia GTX 560Ti, which is seven years old for a minute (but that one ate 170W, and this one - 35) Screen: Good for everyone: colors, brightness, anti-reflective coating, all sorts of designers will appreciate it. The ratio is 16:10, which is rare these days. (Now the fashion for 16:9 and the fat useless strip under the screen is the guard) TrueTone unexpectedly pleased! I used to use f. Lux / night shift to warm the light, now they are not needed at all. There is a feature: by default, the resolution is similar to 1680x1050 x2 (although the physical one is 1440x900 x2), i. E. there is more space on the screen, but it turns out not "pixel perfect" (noticeable in non-Retina programs) + in the evenings, tired eyes sometimes want to be bigger. I installed SwitchResX and I can change 1440x900-1680x1050-1920x1200 with hotkeys as needed. Trackpad: Huge! Truly the best navigation tool for a laptop today. At first it was unusual and I was afraid of accidental clicks, but they are not. The mouse is not needed. Sound: Very good, there are bottoms, there is a volume margin (I don’t turn on more than 60% in front of me) Good stereo panorama. Touchbar (strip): I was ready to dislike it, but it turned out to be convenient to change the volume and brightness with one movement, it is also quite often more convenient to select dialog buttons like Ok / Cancel on it than to hover with the trackpad. TouchID is very convenient. It is a pity that in half the cases you still need to drive in a password. Cooling: Generally cool and quiet, except for prolonged high loads. Even with a high load, it does not bake the knees the way the old proshka did. If you have it warming up in idle time, then this is a marriage. macOS is still the most convenient operating system for laptops (I'm not sure about desktop anymore)
Cons
  • Price: robbery, but what can you do. There is not much competition, except for the Surface Book 2 (although it is weaker) and the Razer Blade 15, which we officially do not have (= no warranty) and which can cost even more. Keyboard: Pretty controversial. On the one hand, 16/17s are better (more stroke), printing is objectively faster than on a regular laptop, and it is quiet, but: If suddenly something drips on the keys, it's easy to get to replace the entire bottom panel (I filled the old 10-year-old firmware with kvass without any special consequences). Despite the silicone layer, someone on the forums has already clogged the button, it's scary. The use of F-keys in development environments should be abandoned (but they were not very convenient to press before) Until I got used to the buttons by touch. In general, it will do for a laptop. Battery: one side can watch movies/surf the internet 10-11 hours, on the other hand, under heavy load and active use of a discrete video card (gamedev: a running game in Unity + an assembled client) can fly away in at least 2-3 hours The software is still damp (expected when buying a laptop released a month ago): FileVault encryption is contraindicated for the time being (otherwise there will be reboots), periodically, when using iTunes, you have to kill the coreaudiod process. the sound may start to crackle, the touchbar freezes once (but sagged)

The purchase did not justify itself at all.

switched from Windows, all my life I wanted a poppy, I saved up. I end up using it because I already bought it. for such money, there are so many inconveniences, even the layout, the semicolon is at the top, it’s not convenient to switch the language, the letter Y is in a different place, I still can’t remember the keyboard shortcuts, I used the touch bar a couple of times when writing messages in telegrams. in short, him. I’m glad to turn it back and switch to Windows, for such money I think…

Pros
  • Nice appearance screen sound pleasant to the touch
Cons
  • price price and again price

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

I am writing a review after upgrading to a 16-inch model. If anyone chooses between generations of 15 and 16 inches, I hope my review will be useful. Moved from this laptop (i7, 32, 512, 560x) to 16 (i9, 64, 1024, 5500M) 1. Finally 32GB. You can always keep a virtual machine running with Windows and not get an entry in swap. In 16 inches they brought 64GB. 2. The performance is about the same in development tasks. Building web applications and . net core second per second (within margin of…

Pros
  • performance quality screen true tone sound from speakers finally got 32gb of ram
Cons
  • warming up webcam could be better for the money

Impressions from the purchase are good, buy.

I switched to this model from the most powerful of the Macmini 2022. The difference in performance in applications is very noticeable, especially in Photoshop, Lightroom and FCPX. Simulators stopped slowing down in Xcode and project builds go 7 times faster! At the same time, the Lightroom interface still slows down, although already quite slightly - it is much more comfortable to work. I used this macbook very actively, for almost the entire first year I drove it for days to encode video and…

Pros
  • Small, thin, light, very high quality assembly. An excellent screen with very high-quality color reproduction, which turned out to be quite comfortable to switch from a regular 27 "monitor. Now there is enough power for everything. Finally, the ability to install 32 gigabytes of memory. The touch bar is an interesting thing, it turned out to be very useful in some applications. It is very convenient to log in putting your finger on it saves a lot of time. The huge touchpad is quite convenient in general, in the absence of an external mouse, you can even use it completely for everything (although it is still more convenient to work with an external mouse). It is convenient that the power cable can be plugged anywhere. There is still a hole for headphones, although I have nothing to stick into it.
Cons
  • Only 4 USB-C ports. If you have a lot of devices with old USB cables, you will have to buy a hub or a bunch of adapters. The keys are unusually thin with a very small stroke compared to a regular Apple wired keyboard - it's hard and long to get used to it. After months of use, the navigation buttons (with arrows) are still inconveniently located - all the time I poke Shift above them. At full load, it will work autonomously for no more than a couple of hours only. The camera is only 720p. Adjusting the volume (and brightness) on the touch bar is inconvenient - you have to aim a lot and tap your finger more than on a regular keyboard. Right after the warranty year, the battery began to swell.

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

I bought a MacBook mr942. Placed an order, called back within a couple of minutes, discussed everything and after a few hours took the laptop. Everything is smooth and clear, there are no shortcomings in terms of service and quality of goods. Will definitely come here again and recommend to my friends! Excellent shop!

Good afternoon. I want to write a review after 2 years of using this device, so I wrote so that the review would not be rejected again. It costs space. I would have endured all this at a different price. I have pointed out the benefits. But let's talk about the cons, which are simply unacceptable for the price of this laptop. First surprise: After half a year of using the laptop, the display began to climb, at first I did not attach any serious importance to this. But after 2 months, the…

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

I took it for work, which means IDE, PS, a dozen Chrome tabs and VirtualBox are always on. Decently fulfills with open tasks. The screen is magnificent - I compare it with the MacBook Air 13. Pixels are not visible, juicy, bright colors. The eyes are pleasant, they don’t even seem to get tired. I sit at the computer all day long. The speakers are very loud, but the sound is muffled. Battery - no claimed ten hours! Maximum 4 at not intensive loading. On the road to watch movies - will not go.

  • Performance Screen Speakers Size Touch Bar/touch ID
Cons
  • Discharges quickly without much load At the moment - USB type-C Gets hot Heats up quickly Price

The quality is ok on the whole, it has some small flaws.

As I wrote above - the laptop died after a month of use. I just worked in Numbers, the computer turned off and after that the system partition was not found - the axis was not loaded. All options for his resuscitation were tried, but it did not help - he had to be carried to a service center. The service center said that there were no spare parts for 18 year old laptops (the laptop went on sale in the summer, and spare parts are still missing - amazing) and the repair time was not determined…

Pros
  • Excellent build, good run time and performance, nice size and weight. Everything was fine until the laptop died a little over a month after purchase.
Cons
  • 1. The display does not fix well when opened. I suppose it is unlikely that I will be able to work in Sapsan, since the display will shake from shaking in the car (sorry for the tautology). 2. It is very infuriating that the headphone jack is located in the farthest part of the right side, behind the USB-C connectors. Well, it's really inconvenient if you have something already stuck there. 3. I'm not talking about the presence of other connectors - just include in the price also a hub for HDMI, LAN and other good things that you need. 4. Glossy display - not to say that it's great to clean. Instantly collects everything that flies to him and touches. Also, I don’t understand that they find something extraordinary in the display of this laptop and sing songs to it? . The market is full of laptops with displays that are clearly no worse. Good display, but nothing more. 5. Due to known problems with keyboards of models 16 and 17, I constantly blow off dust particles. Damn, zadolbalo, to be honest. They promised that this problem was fixed in the 18 model, but how it will be in reality, you will have to experience it for yourself. 6. No matter what anyone says, but Claudia is still not ice. A month later, I'm not fully accustomed to the short travel of the keys.

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

The first thing you notice after the old macbook models is the retina screen and stereo sound. With the latter, it became really nice to listen to music. The touchpad began to accommodate the entire hand; comfortable. Otherwise, the same familiar macbook. Touch ID - rarely used. The touchpad on the keyboard is used in the same way as regular buttons on older models without a pad. I want to say that there is no mania to constantly climb into this panel to edit settings or when formatting text. I

Pros
  • Screen. Sound. IO performance. Fast charging.
Cons
  • Warming up. Before that I had a 2022 macbook pro 15. The same engineering solutions for cooling as now.

The quality is ok on the whole, it has some small flaws.

I have been using Apple technology for about 9 years, but I did not expect such an epic fail. The previous model I had was mid 2022 and it suited me with everything. A couple of weeks ago, the management gave us macbooks 2022, now I'm going to return from pick up back 2022. Summing up, I will say that the toy is certainly beautiful, but it is not very suitable for work (software development). Not suitable for toys. The designer would have preferred the iMac 27". For a leader, student, manager,

Pros
  • Traditionally good screen, stylish look, large trackpad, fingerprint unlock, macOS, in general, everything people love about Apple technology
Cons
  • Let's start with the fact that the laptop has only 4 thunderbolt 3 (USB type c) ports and an audio output for jack 2.5. That is, in order to connect an external monitor, insert a USB flash drive or something else, you need to buy adapters and carry them with you all the time. The Touch Bar idea is clearly a failure. It is clear that he looks beautiful, but there is little sense from him. Moreover, if you are used to typing blindly, then you will have to lower your eyes to the keyboard every time to see what the buttons are there now. If you use the Esc key a lot (hello Emacs users), then you will hate this keyboard from day one. Now about the processor / memory. In general, i7 copes quite well, but I did not see any serious performance increase compared to i5, despite the fact that I mainly run multi-threaded applications on the JVM. 16GB of memory is clearly not enough, macOS Mojave began to eat more RAM, which is why swap is constantly used, and everything was great on High Sierra. Sadly, the MagSafe charger is no longer with us. We charge through any free thunderbolt. I haven’t tried it, of course, but most likely if you touch the wire, then the macbook will fly to the floor. Well, now the most fat minus. When you connect an external monitor (1080p, not even 4K), it starts to lag, switches from a smeared video to a discrete one, and as a result, in 2.5-3 hours of operation, the vaunted battery is completely eaten away. Why then this most discrete vidyuhi is needed remains a mystery to me. Of course, you can play around in the settings and it will not lag so much, but the effect still remains.

added May 2022: Terrible keyboard issue. keys are not repaired separately. Apple offers to change the keyboard to the same one, but it is officially recognized that this is a design feature for new models. from 2022 make other keyboard models. Pros below: compare with macbook pro 13 and macbook 12 which i had for a few years SIZE: when you look in the store compared to the macbook 12 and 13, it seems to be big.

So, I'll start by saying that I had a need to replace my old 2022 macbook. Everything was wonderful in it, and you can insert flash drives and USB and SD cards on you, but I didn’t have enough SSD memory and a video card for further work. Began to look among other laptops. But, since I once had the experience of purchasing a Sony Vaio laptop, I later decided to discard the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bchoosing a laptop on a Windows system, this is completely different compared to MacOs.
