The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

I bought it purely out of curiosity, I did not understand why programmers praise it so much, I decided to try it. Screen It is simply amazing, in this resolution and with color reproduction it is a pleasure to watch movies in 4K, TrueTone is a controversial feature, but if you are not a photographer and do not process photos, then it helps a lot to relieve eye strain, it adapts very well to light. There is also a marriage or deliberate obsolescence, the cable that goes from the display to the…

Pros
  • Screen, speakers, compactness
Cons
  • Software bugs and no USB ports

I'm not completely satisfied with the product.

In general - upset. I hoped for mega-reliability, like the previous generation Air, which worked flawlessly (except for the battery) for about 4 years. Most annoying are these problems with Claudia. And I so hoped that this was just unlucky for many and most of them have everything ok with the keyboard + supposedly an improved version of the keyboard in this MacBook, but no :(

Pros
  • - Fast - Beautiful - Cool screen - The sound of the speakers is simply excellent - Excellent microphone - Cool touchpad - Quiet in normal use - Good case quality and scratch resistance (mine is silver color)
Cons
  • - Front camera - C grade - When connecting gopro - wifi starts to work badly (see ping in screenshots) - Keys began to peel off after 1 year of use - Keys started skipping or doubleclicking after about 1 year of use (purge doesn't help) - There is a dead pixel on the screen. When it appeared I do not know. At first it wasn't. You can see it only if you specifically check it, and then you still have to look, tk. the pixel density is extremely high. - When opened, the monitor emits a quiet short micro-crunch. - Sometimes the monitor hinge makes a strange sound when swaying in the open state, as if there is a cable rubbing against the screen or the like. - Once the touchbar turned off and began to burn very weakly. It helped to contact support by phone and reset the firmware (with saving the system and data) - Missing physical esc button - Often when I click on delete, I accidentally hit the touchbar (I have a screen lock set up in this place) - infuriates - Sometimes I accidentally get on esc on the touchbar - infuriates

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

My first Macbook. Everything suits, a great device for work and pleasure. I can recommend to buy. But, now there are still alternatives, in the form of Huawei and Microsoft. In extreme cases, there is Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 15.6, which is 2 times cheaper, but generally a more democratic option. Some pros: The screen is really great: colors, picture quality, brightness margin - everything is cool. The only thing is it is glossy, but it hasn't really bothered me yet. Iron is cool. No lags were…

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

With its pros: Everything works fine for more than a year, I work as a programmer, so it always works, without rest. Performs all tasks without brakes. I have the 512 GB version. Cons below: on the command key, a coating broke off above the second letter "m", this is with very careful use.

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good one.

Say xiaomi is cheaper and better?) Is there a guarantee in 2022 for xiaomi? And will it be possible to sell it later in 5 years at a bargain price? I think not, but a MacBook can. And I don't want to sell it either. It brings a whole lot of pleasant feelings. The screen and sound of this device are not even real. I watched the droptest on YouTube, it was thrown from a helicopter. Yes, he cracked all over, but continued to work))) it's tough.

Pros
  • This is an incredible thing. Extremely expensive, but worth every spent. Every second of use causes micro-orgasms)
Cons
  • Price. The new iPhones have the same memory as the computers 256 and 512. Why does the computer not have more ? the apple does not glow ! (((

I do not recommend spending your money on this.

Battery - why was it cut off like that? With a more or less strong load, it lasts an hour and a half (Mac 15th year 13 kept about 6-8 hours). Now I carry a thin laptop and PowerBank with me! Tin. I've been using Macs for over 10 years and what they've been doing with their tech in recent years has been frustrating (no wonder stocks dropped 38% in 3 months (January 2022)). I thought I was married, but friends who bought other Macs in the last 2 years (2022-2022) have almost the same problems! At

Pros
  • Screen
Cons
  • The battery is terrible. Performance (15’, core i7, 16Gb, 5122022, MacOS 102022) terrible, constant glitches and freezes, weak hinges on the lid. The keyboard is terrible.

Excellent product, the best quality.

If macOS is suitable and the budget allows - definitely take it! Balanced and uncompromising beech. It is hardly possible to find another equally productive and well-made laptop in the 2022 market, in which software and hardware complement each other so much. Its pros: + Trackpad! It's just a bomb. Very clear reactions, gestures, force touch. For me it is much more convenient and functional than a mouse. + Productivity. + Screen. Very rich colors, P3. +macOS and ecosystem. + Flawless build…

Expectations were not met, average quality.

The laptop was issued by the company to me as a programmer. Before Etoro lived 6 years on a poppy with a retina for 13 years. Pros below: Compared to other manufacturers: it is unlikely that there will be a laptop that is more comfortable than poppies, and even if there is, it will be more expensive and what operating system can be on it? Definitely not OS X, which means you can not compare. Has some cons: Compared to previous versions: Removed the necessary F buttons. The touchpad is sometimes

I like it, thank you for the quality product.

Switched from Retina MacBook Pro 15 2022, the feelings are mixed, on the one hand this device is from a different league, it looks more modern, the hardware and sound are also on the level, and on the other hand this laptop gave me the most headaches for all the time I have used laptops Apple never had problems before him, I just bought a new laptop, transferred my system from the old one and enjoyed it, something went wrong with this one, I suspect that because of the T2 chip, they were too…

Pros
  • Powerful, lightweight, excellent touchpad and display, sound. You can break spears for a long time about the price, but in my humble opinion, if you look at the totality of characteristics, it is more than adequate, there are simply no Windows machines with similar performance characteristics, they will either lose in hardware or in weight and dimensions. The cost will remain the same.
Cons
  • Hot, even with light loads, the temperature quickly exceeds 70 degrees or more, in idle 38-42 degrees. There were a lot of glitches on High Sierra, the idle temperature did not drop below 55 degrees, the sound from the speakers disappeared after + - 30 minutes of watching videos through VLC and YouTube, now everything seems to be fixed. In gray, very easily soiled.

I wanted it to be suitable for everything and to watch any competitors in detail, but they simply don’t exist, they either sag in autonomy either in quality or in sound (the helipad really bothers me for broadcasts). This plus did not write above, since it is definitely not for everyone. * No other laptop evokes such emotions in users, if they see it with you, the brand you paid for is immediately visible. P. S I don’t write anything about the price, it is perceived differently, but due to the…

Pros
  • I won’t write all the advantages of the screen, build quality, etc., this is what goes by definition, so it’s better to go over those moments that people don’t notice. 1. 4 thunderbolt 3 is brilliant, although at first glance it will be a disadvantage. I bought an adapter for everything that is needed (ethernet, hdmi, usd, microsd) it can be like a stand, but I need all this at home or at the table, and if I take a laptop around the room, to the kitchen, in a cafe, I don’t need all this , I take out one port and everything stays at home, no need to constantly disconnect or connect 5 pieces, 100 times faster and more convenient. You can take the adapter with you if the ports are required at work, for example. PS There are so many adapters and already at such an affordable price that this is definitely not a problem, plus I bought an adapter for magsafe, but more on that later 2. If you constantly pull the cord of your macbook, then again there is an adapter for magsafe, even less than in previous models and you can pull the wire as much as you like. (again, for the price it is worth a penny) 3. Touch Bar literally half an hour to figure it out and everything can be set to f1-f12 as it was, set up any additional keys, take a screenshot of the screen or move the button if you touch esc (there is nothing to do with the buttons that were before, but then choose what like) 4. Enough performance for everything, programming, broadcasting, editing photos, a browser with 20+ tabs, several code editors, photoshop, figma, phpstorm, avocode, brackets, chrom. doesn't even buzz. 5. Charging from the power bank works perfectly, charging is enough for almost 3 times, this day you can work without an outlet. 6. Synchronization of all devices, if you have an apple with Windows, this will not happen, the clock will be unlocked, all messages or calls, the link opened on imac took the laptop with him, he will immediately offer to continue on the laptop, the device connection works perfectly. 7. Unexpectedly, these are games, I go to dota2, cs go, no problems at all (there is a razer gaming mouse)
Cons
  • Run out and buy a couple of adapters.

Disappointed with the purchase, useless products.

Tried to work on it for half a year. It's just not a working product. :( I throw it off and buy a top laptop on Windows for half the price of a MacBook. I didn’t think that the poppy is so unstable, although Windows is laggy, and you need to reinstall it every half a year, but at least you can work on it. Has pros: Advantages pale in comparison to disadvantages Fast rendering - extinguish crashes and freezes in Adobe Premiere. Convenient installation of software - dampens optimization (no…

My configuration is macbook pro 15', 512 sdd, 16 gb ram. The place of use is mainly at home and I will probably carry it with me during the holidays. Application as a portable computer on the sofa and bed (for the Internet, video, mail, excel and other everyday tasks) + study. First tactile impression WOW. The build quality and appearance leave a very pleasant impression. The trackpad + macOS working together make the laptop comfortable and convenient, I don’t even think about the mouse…

Pros
  • + tactile sensations + touch bar + screen + buttons + trackpad + macos
Cons
  • - weak camera (compared with the iphone 7 front camera) - it is hard to pull out the charging cable from the laptop - large bezels around the screen - I wish the screen resolution was higher

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

Otherwise, the impressions are identical to last year's 13" flash, with the exception of small nuances. From what I noticed, these are tighter USB-C ports and the magnet attracts the cover a little more. In terms of switching from 13" to 15" - the performance is undoubtedly much higher. Especially in CPU-bound tasks. You should not expect much from the video card, but again it is noticeably faster than the integrated Iris Pro 650. As for the difference in weight - for me 500g is not…

Pros
  • 1. Screen size. Compared to a 13-inch firmware, it is much more comfortable to work. The color reproduction and brightness are unchanged (everything is fine). 2. Sound. I thought it was great in last year's Mac. But here it is beyond praise - juicy (there is even bass) and MUCH louder (compared to 13''). 3. TrueTone is a controversial feature, but let it be a plus. During everyday work, especially in the evening, it is convenient. Eyes get tired less. But for those who are engaged in color correction, it is absolutely useless. 4. Performance. When connected to a 4K monitor, Launchpad no longer lags when scrolling, minimizing / unfolding the video is smooth. Thanks to discrete graphics for this. 5. Keyboard. The ated butterfly has become really better. It works not only a little quieter, but also noticeably softer. Printing is much more pleasant.
Cons
  • 1. Price. Really biting. But that's the reality =( 2. Problems with software (Bridge OS error). The Mac just randomly restarts. And in the last beta of Mojave it was never fixed. 3. When connected to an external monitor, you cannot use the integrated graphics, only discrete. Looks like a hardware feature. Was unpleasantly surprised. 4. Discrete graphics disappointed me a little. For such a price, I would like at least the RX 580. But how rich.

I took it as a reliable means of work, so as not to reinstall every six months, like Windows. had a few problems due to ates, but after 8 months, still in service. those. copes with its function. I will not say that a powerful or special computer. but comfortable. Some pros: - 4 monitors can be connected. I work for 3x + main - convenient touchbar, I work without a mouse - lightweight, easy to carry. can be charged from 12 volts in the car. - the Apple ecosystem is also a plus. It is really…

Expectations were not met, average quality.

This would be a great laptop if it didn't break. With its pros: Great balance between power and compactness. Retina, trackpad, build quality (but not individual components). Type C, over time you get used to them and it becomes convenient, especially charging a laptop from any port. Different cons: A year later, the cable leading to the display was covered - yellow spots appeared in the corners of the screen. I managed to fix it a month before the warranty expired, I had to give it to the…

While writing a review, I accidentally touched esc. In short, I have nowhere to put my hands stupidly to fix them for touch typing. Constant typos :( I have not found a replacement yet . I am actively looking for I don’t think that I’m the only one who handles these problems, if there are solutions to these problems, I will be very grateful. Pay attention to these three issues 06/16/2022 - apple took into account ALL my comments 😂 in the new version, ESC was made a button. The touchpad is…

Pros
  • Work speed, tirabyte on hard
Cons
  • 1. TouchBar - I constantly touch the ESC button on this panel 2. Healthy touchpad - I constantly touch it and the cursor runs to another place in the text 3. Keys - they are pressed so well that in case of a miss, several are pressed at once

Good product for me, no problems at all.

Has pros: - screen - Fingerprint's scanner - long battery life, you can afford to forget the charger at home and go to work - sound - weight, but I would like a little lighter - appearance and materials, assembly - passive cooling Different cons: - the keys were more convenient than the touchbar, although I got used to it and generally does not cause discomfort - price - few ports, no adapters included - liked magsafe more, was more practical - after waking up from sleep mode, the touchpad ofte

Great product, best quality.

I use for routine and for VMware and GNS3 as an IT specialist. Everything works well. copes easily. with 5 virtual machines and 10 routers in GNS3. But I have a complete set on i7, 32ram, 1tb ssd. generally happy with everything. Previously, there was a Carbon X1 top-end 2022. Now it has been replaced with a custom macair 2022 and has not lost anything. Unless this is a carbon 14 "crane, which is better IMHO. On a poppy, if you wish, you can do the same thing as on Windows. and even more.

Pros
  • Great laptop where you can do whatever you want. It's pointless to compare with Winda (here and there soy pluses) The screen is excellent, the brightness with a margin. The eyes don't get tired. Cooling is good and the holes are conveniently located at the edges and not at the bottom. The sound is very good. Movies are fun to watch. The trackpad is very comfortable and large.
Cons
  • Very heavy. I don't understand the previous reviews. This is a completely heavy aluminum laptop. The touchbar panel is by and large simply beautiful. not much use for it.
