    Perfect product for any user!

    Before buying, I compared other options, but settled on MPTV2 / RU, especially at the time of purchase, the difference with the lowest prices of gray supplies was insignificant. By the way, the Silver version is not as easily soiled as Space Gray, but the color is a matter of taste. As for the adapters, I took Ali for 40-50in quality no worse than the counterparts in Hong Kong for 300-400, I also bought a 32 GB USB flash drive for USB-C / USB-3.1, but in fact I only use the mouse and flash…

    Pros
    • Powerful, light, fast, quiet, build quality, bright screen, but the best part is the design. You get used to this configuration very quickly, you don’t want to switch to other options later. With such an internal configuration, thickness, ergonomics and design, there are simply no analogues.
    Cons
    • Charging problems are not always clear why it is heavily discharged even when turned off, the volume and battery life are reduced compared to previous models. Also with fans, when the computer is not loaded, they turn on randomly and make a little noise. The keyboard has become better, but it strains to click when pressed (it hasn't stuck yet). The trackpad is too big, when typing sometimes touches the hand and flies the cursor. No charging indicator. Not enough memory for 16 GB for 2022, we need versions of 32 GB and more. I was surprised by the disk volume discrepancy on MacOS showing 512 GB, and on Windows only 480 GB, as Apple support stated, this is normal because they have a decimal system.

    The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

    6. Performance. The built-in Radeon Pro 560 is rather weak. I actively use BootCamp with custom drivers and sometimes play games - I can say for sure. It does not pull smooth work at the maximum screen resolution, if you put "More space" and disable switching to processor graphics. Well, yes, you can’t help but kick for LPDDR3 either, the iMac of the same year has DDR4. It was also not possible to notice an ultra-clear screen compared to the previous generation retina. Forgive me designers and

    Pros
    • Evaluating the MacBook Pro 15 - Mid 2022 in the TOP store configuration (not custom) The advantages of this device were noted repeatedly and only a lazy copywriter did not describe them. A 15-inch firmware for me personally was the standard for a professional laptop. Before that I used: - MBP 15" - 2022 two years without complaints (in TOP configuration) - MBP 13 Retina 2022 (also TOP configurations, 4 years). - MB Air 13 "2022 (issued at work, 1 year) - iMac 21" and 27" at work and at home (several years) Since the firmware of the 13th year did not suit me due to the lack of discrete video, and it was a little outdated, I decided to buy a new laptop, I bought it immediately after the release. What can really be praised for: 1. Weight. At 1.89 kg, that's just 300 grams more than my MBP 13 weighed, for a performance that's completely incomparable. Yes, of course, there is a technological gap of 4 years. But how many laptops with such a screen and hardware today will compete with him in terms of weight and performance per weight? - The question is rhetorical. Thanks to this weight, the 15th firmware actually competes with the 13-inch one, creating a mobile and very powerful solution. In other words - great performance with the same mobility. The task of the purchase was simple - not to buy a new iMac at home and replace the MBP 13 "Retina, using one powerful laptop for all tasks that would connect to an external 4K monitor (s). 2. Design. Of course, these are subjective things, but personally I consider it the most beautiful laptop of 2022. The absence of a burning apple, although it is a pity, did not affect this in any way. Of course I took it in a new gray color, trying to feel something new. The laptop looks very expensive and spectacular, no matter what anyone says. 3. The ability to plug charging into any Type-C (Thunderbolt) port. Yes, it is not magnetic and this convenience will not cover the absence of a magnetic plug, but still it is a convenience that allows you to supply power from any side of the workplace. This is where the positive aspects of this laptop end.
    Cons
    • In order, maybe I was terribly dissatisfied: 1. Keyboard. I don’t know who invented these keys, it’s probably impossible for the devil himself to somehow explain it, but after 6 months of use, having touch typing in 2 languages ​​and all layouts, I still couldn’t get used to and learn how to print without typos. Perhaps, in part, the fact that I bought an American played here: they have a flat Enter, and not a vertical one like on European laptops. Mistakes in typing arose constantly, the keyboard itself is very noisy and it is simply uncomfortable to work on it in a room with people. Yes, damn it, even in absolute silence and loneliness, it is too noisy! 2. Touch bar A completely pointless thing that I, no matter how I tried, did not find any use. Perhaps it looks interesting only on the video presentation. Of all the users of this computer that I know, no one could suggest a real scenario for convenient use. Those who have been behind laptops for a long time prefer not to look below the display at all. 3. Siri I don't like a device that insists (you can't turn it off) to permanently turn on the microphone for "Hey Siri! ". By the way, this is not on the iMac 2022. Moreover, the alert, which always suddenly jumps out with the requirement to turn it on, seems to adapt to the window you are working with and jumps out before pressing Enter, of course with the default active "Enable" button. Where's the privacy, Apple? 4. Touchpad It is senselessly large and uncomfortable. If you put your hands on typing, your thumbs are guaranteed to rest on it, and no amount of machine learning or whatever it was intended to cancel random positives. They exist and they are permanent. It's terribly annoying. 5. On the very first day after the purchase, Belkin went for a magnetic adapter, because he knew that he could not do without it. As a result, you have two choices: either something is stuck in the laptop that always clings to everything, or you carry a USB-C plug with you, as if you had a mouse with a radio module or something like that. This is a failure.

    Good value for money, I recommend it.

    If apples continue in the same spirit, the brand will have to be abandoned. And I don’t understand how it was possible to release the reference new IPAD 10.5 and at the same time screw up in other directions. Its pros: + Screen, but not to say that it's better than my last 2022 + Less weight -400g = significant + Design, although not better than the past + Easily fits into a standard portfolio of Italian brands (I think other brands that used to fit only 13 now this toy will fit) + Perhaps…

    I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

    In general, the purchase is satisfied. The laptop is powerful and pleases with its capabilities. I took the American version of the silver color. Silver looks MUCH prettier than Space Gray, trust me. Plus an apple shining like a mirror! I do not recommend engraving the keyboard, because. this voids the keyboard warranty. The warranty remains on the rest of the laptop. I type on the machine, so I left the original American keyboard. Got it from gbstore. The sales assistant helped to check the…

    Pros
    • - Faster and thinner than my old MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2022. - Very fast SSD. Blackmagic disk speed test: write 1492 MB/s, read 2316 MB/s. - Cool screen. - Very powerful and deep sound, I was really surprised by this sound. - Quick authorization by Touch ID like on the iPhone - now you do not need to burn your password. - The Touch Bar turned out to be very convenient even for the most common tasks: * now you can smoothly adjust the sound or backlight by simple movements of the slider to the left or right (and not, as before, by fixed divisions); * convenient access to the Siri button (began to use it more often, because now it is always at hand); * you can configure the button to lock the screen (without going to sleep) - it's convenient when you go somewhere, but the program cannot be interrupted; - New trackpad - bigger, quieter and more comfortable. Previously, I had a regular trackpad and it clicked quite loudly when pressed, now this problem is gone. Plus, it has become much more responsive and you need to press much easier. - USB Type-C is a good start for the future. Yes, I had to buy an adapter, but now this is a necessary measure. The potential of USB Type-C + Thunderbolt 3 is very high, so I have no regrets. Plus, now you can charge the laptop from any side! - Much to my surprise, this 15-inch laptop fit into a leather case from a MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2022! Back-to-back, of course, but it fit!
    Cons
    • - The keyboard has a different sound (thuds instead of the usual clicking) and, it seems, a little louder. - The esc key is now not in the very left corner, but 1 cm to the right. Although she reacts if you press a little to the left of her, but in the far left corner - no. And now you need to get used to the fact that as soon as you put your finger on esc, it immediately reacts. Previously, you could put your finger on the mechanical esc button (for example, towards the end of the video), and then fully press it. Now she reacts immediately. - Slightly uneven key illumination. Not very noticeable, but there is such a thing at the edges (shift, return, command, delete). - The need to purchase an adapter for other ports. Until all devices have switched to USB Type-C, you will have to pay several thousand for an adapter. Personally, I took deppa with two USB 3.0, one USB Type-C and HDMI - much more useful than from Apple. - Now there is no extension cable for charging and a cloth for the screen - my old MacBook Pro 13 "Mid 2022 had it. - The screen is slightly yellower than my old MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2022. They write on the Internet that it may be glue, which will dry out and disappear over time. We'll see. It doesn't really bother me yet, because I work with code, but not graphics. - No magnetic charging as before. Now a tight USB Type-C connector, which is pulled out with force, because. it is all smooth and thin (almost like on the iPhone).

    I'm very happy with the product, it's very satisfying.

    I took this miracle of apple evolution involuntarily, since the motherboard burned out on the old MVR 2022, but I never regretted it, and even after the successful repair of the old model, I did not want to return to it. Pros and cons after 2 years of active use: The laptop has become more elegant, thinner, with a pleasant "tan" of gray space. The apple on the lid no longer glows. When turned on, the previously annoying sound of self-diagnosis stopped sounding. Huge, cool touchpad! The…

    Pros

    Overall it's not bad, but I expected more.

    This is my first Mac, before that it only worked on Windows and Linux. After Windows, there are a lot of differences and the process of getting used to is very difficult. On the one hand, you really feel that this is an expensive and top-end laptop. On the other hand, the concept is not clear with the lack of familiar ports, there is not even such a regular USB port for a mouse. Surprisingly thanks to the USB-C ports - the laptop is well suited to Android phones, which also have a USB-C port…

    Pros
    • 1. Beautiful, looks modern, reliable 2. Beautiful macOS 3. Interesting keyboard, pleasant to press buttons 4. I liked the panel above the keyboard, where the buttons appear depending on the applications 5. Cool and big touchpad 6. Already 4 high-speed USB-C ports, charging can be inserted into any of them from any side :) 7. Good sound 8. Beautiful screen 9. Powerful - top-end hardware, fast drive 10. Accidentally discovered that iWatch is unlocked - nice and cool 11. Harmonizes well with the Huawai phone, there is just a USB-C port by default, headphones from it fit, charging is interchangeable and much more
    Cons
    • 1. The Apple icon is no longer glowing 2. Charging now without a magnet and backlight 3. After Windows, a lot of torment with the keyboard - a period or a comma is not convenient to press (you can choose a more familiar 2022 PC, but then the labels on the buttons will not match), switching the language is not convenient even the familiar Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V are now needed differently press. In general, I suffered with Claudia, after 3 months I was not used to it 4. Strange as it may seem, the Mac OS (ated to 102022) is not so reliable - it has already hung up and rebooted itself. In the standard viewer, I found a glitch when it freezes. 6. Unrealistically high price. 192 thousand for a laptop is expensive 7. It heats up and strongly, even if it is not loaded. 8. The usual Microsoft Office is here, but it is somehow stripped down. There is a lot missing in the Mac version. Microsoft Outlook starts to slow down after a while, restarting the Mac helps. Now I restart my Mac every day. 9. Weak battery. Without overloading the laptop barely pulls out 5-6 hours. In addition, the battery does not change like on all laptops. 10. There are absolutely no ports other than USB-C. If you want to connect a flash drive - connect an adapter, a memory card, a monitor, a TV, a mouse, a keyboard, a network, a phone, etc. Everything needs an adapter. Headphones from the iPhone are not suitable here, just like the iPhone itself cannot be connected without buying an adapter. 11. I connected a USB disk through an adapter - as a result, it opens only for viewing, and does not see many files named in 2022. They say it will be necessary to install a virtual machine with Windows

    Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

    Some pros: There is no magnetic power connector - you can plug in charging from either side and it will not fall off at the slightest sneeze - it's just a miracle! Fantastic trackpad! Especially if you set up the work without the need to click on it and enable drag and drop with three fingers! After that, I threw out the mouse on the desktop and bought a desktop trackpad. The touchbar adjusts to the current task - now the OK button on the dialog can be pressed without taking your right hand off

    The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

    Touchbar - there is nothing terrible in it. The esc key is a matter of habit (although it takes a long time to get used to, but I'm used to it). If you use exclusively hotkeys, then you will rarely use tach, but it will not strain either. Don't be afraid. USB ports. I recommend buying a universal adapter with all standard ports once and forget about it. I don't feel any discomfort. But through usb-c you can connect anything. For example, the monitor transmits both picture and sound, and also…

    Pros
    • - Much less heat and noise under load compared to 15 late 2022. - Weighs really little. - Gives good performance. - Sound for laptop set off. - The keyboard has changed, it feels better, if not for the volume of pressing . - The trackpad is quieter. - ssd hurricane.
    Cons
    • - My battery lasts 5-6 hours. However, I can not say that the load is large. 15 late 2022 when I was new, I kept the charge much more seriously. - The keyboard has become louder. - No MagSafe - okay. But why the indicator was removed charged / not charged, I don’t understand. - After the sleep mode, the performance of the discrete radeon pro 560 drops so much that there is a feeling of turning into a RIVA TNT 2 from 1999. Reboot helps. It seems like a software problem and should be solved by the next OSX ate.

    There are disadvantages, but the product is usable.

    In general, for this money, I expected more than the MacBook Pro could offer. Undoubtedly, the screen, without a doubt, according to subjective judgments, is the best I've seen on laptops. But that's why they saved on the keyboard? Seriously. On an early release Mac, everything was perfect with this one. Let's add to everything that when working with heavy graphics and video, at the demonstration or assembly of heavy projects, it begins to sag and blunt mercilessly. And when working with…

    The quality of the product is perfect, I would recommend this product to my friends.

    In the future, if you do not need a video card, then I would take 13 without a touchpad. It is smaller and lighter, holds more time and costs less. Many people write that 2 ports are not enough for 13. I didn’t really feel - for money that costs 15 - you can buy a monitor with usb-c and it will have a lot of ports + there will still be money left. I advise you to look at 13.

    I'm completely satisfied with the product, it works.

    The only significant drawback was that I got a marriage and the screen made a crack. But everything was fixed at the service center) I use the poppy only as a tool, for editing like final cut pro x, text editors, photoshop, video viewing, xcode for two months one lag or bug, they are, but only in the mojavi version, and then this is only the first beta. In all other respects, an ideal laptop.

    A completely ordinary product, nothing remarkable.

    The impressions of the model are mixed. On the one hand, this laptop can be called, if not innovative, then at least a step into the future. And if we ignore the shortcomings listed above, then the machine leaves only positive impressions. But on the other hand, problems with the sound of the keyboard and touchpad make you draw attention to yourself, which is unacceptable for a laptop with an official cost in the 2022 of 175 and at the same time not having a decent video card and inferior in…

    Pros
    • Appearance and dimensions. The sound from the standard speakers (you won’t listen to them, but using other genres as an example, they can create a wow effect). The presence of TouchID. The Touch Bar, although unusual and the benefits of it sucked from the finger, is more of a virtue than a drawback. Keyboard (accurate backlighting and pleasant keystroke). Display.
    Cons
    • The keyboard sounds unpleasant. And it's not even that she became louder. The problem is that different keys sound different. It seems that those keys that are located closer to the edges of the keyboard do not sound problematic, but those that are located in the center of the keyboard create an unpleasant contrast. Touchpad. It is not clear why it is so huge, because I have not found a practical application for this. At the same time, due to its size, it bends in places (there are not enough points of support at the base) and creates the impression of marriage or flaws. In addition, the sound that it makes as an imitation of a click is simply terrible and does not pretend to be present in such an expensive technique. There are graphics issues. Mission Control constantly lags, and it doesn't matter which video card is currently being used. However, on the beta version of macOS High Sierra, this problem does not appear at first glance. Artifacts have also been seen in XCode, with some UI elements being painted pink.

    I am one hundred percent satisfied with the purchase, I recommend this product to everyone.

    In general, after Retina 15 2022, an excellent and very smart laptop - everything that has been launched during this time, everything flies. If Apple further optimizes the OS, it will be even faster. I would like more autonomy. 13 2022 in the simplest configuration with office tasks can last the whole working day, 15 does not take it out. All the necessary wires cost 2k - 1.5k for the monitor and 250r each 2 adapters to USB-C > USB-A

    Pros
    • – light, quite autonomous, but powerful – I almost didn’t hear coolers for a couple of months of work - the screen is beyond praise, brightness with a margin – Touch Bar is used, there was no habit to Fn functions - great keyboard - Touch Pad is just fire, the mouse is no longer needed - the bag has noticeably lost weight. Almost weighs nothing – the upper part of the laptop does not get very hot even in serious tasks
    Cons
    • - the picture is so contrasting that all equipment before the release of P3 displays is very blue. For personal needs, the picture is great, but for work you need to find a balance in use - if there is no 5ghz router, you will have to buy it, otherwise some of the adapters will not work in all USB-C ports (tested for both 15 and 13) - very easily soiled color Space Gray. Gets smudged with prints quickly. You have to be even more careful when using the keyboard. - I was tormented to look for a USB-C > DisplayPort wire in Hong Kong. While not enough periphery

The American keyboard has a long left shift and a horizontal enter, which is also important to me. The closest competitor in quality is Dell Precision, but it's almost impossible to get it in the top config, I tried. The XPS 15 is also not bad, but the quality is not the same - the chokes whistle, the CO does not…

    Pros
    • 1. The screen is beyond praise. This is one of the best laptop screens in general and the best in its class. High resolution, high brightness (500 nits), high contrast ratio (1500:1), P3 color gamut, anti-glare, honest RGB. On its own, it doesn't seem like much, but taken together, it's cool. For example, high brightness means good light transmission of the matrix, which affects autonomy. Brightness and antiglare allow you to work in bright light. Contrast makes it comfortable to work in the dark. Color gamut means using high-quality LED backlights, which means less eye-damaging blue light. High resolution allows you to zoom without losing detail. 2. The sound is not just great, it is the best among laptops, loud balanced speakers, excellent noise-cancelling microphone 3. Performance, the highest in its class. HQ processor that keeps the load at stock frequencies without throttling. SSD as fast as diarrhea, up to 3 gigabytes per second 4. Thunderbolt 3 is the future today. Universal port for connecting anything, it is connected to the PCIe bus. My laptop is connected to the docking station with a single cable that connects charging, an external 4K monitor and peripherals. Power or a monitor can now be connected from either side. You can connect a total of 4 monitors. So the laptop turns into a powerful workstation. 5. Compactness as in typical 14" ultrabooks. Excellent minimalist design. The case is monolithic, there is no backlash or bending. 6. The cooling system is great. Under light load, the laptop is silent, albeit warm. Even when an external monitor is connected, the fans run at minimum. The air intake from the corners and from the grate is very difficult to block. 7. Trackpad, the best among laptops, size, gestures, tactile feedback, nothing backlash. The keyboard is comfortable, quiet, the backlight is uniform, automatic, customizable Touch Bar, Touch Id 8. Autonomy, best in class
    Cons
    • Most of the cons can be attributed to macOS and software, and this is not for everyone. Among iron I want to note: 1. Not enough memory for a top-end laptop that claims to be a workstation. But this is an Intel cant, which does not support LPDDR4 for HQ processors of the latest generations. 2. Due to the size of the trackpad, hands touch it and you have to click on pressing, not touching. 3. The touchbar is bad not because there is no F1-F12, they are almost never used in macOS, but because of Esc 4. Autonomy can drop significantly under high load 5. No magnetic charging

    Revainrating 4 out of 5

    I am completely satisfied, item complies with description.

    I work almost 24/7. I took a MacBook to work in the "field". After iMac 27, of course, everything is tiny, I installed my favorite Transmit, Coda, PS, Airmail and others, at first it was a little unusual to work, a kind of iPad with a keyboard, I got used to it in two or three days. There is enough performance for all tasks, I mount videos of 5-10 minute videos for YouTube, along with all other things, nothing has ever hung up, at the most loaded moments you can hear a little work of coolers…

    Pros
    • Pleasant tactile, comfortable keyboard, touch bar. battery life on a single charge in full load stable 6-7 hours, this is wifi, music, a lot of applications,
    Cons
    • deficiencies were not identified lack of usual usb, but can be solved with adapters
