Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

I chose it as a replacement for my somewhat antiquated Mas'a 2022. That almost completely stopped loading and became stuck for a while. The customer service center could not comprehend what the issue was, but I want a reliable tool for the processing of both still images and moving video. In addition, given that I had already utilized my photographic gear, I chose to take this particular poppy as well. As the proverb goes, everyone in it together. After that, the price will go up, and after…

Pros
  • Everything is going swimmingly thus far! Even further than that.

I have only recently started using it. I haven't faced any significant problems with my assignment thus far. The only drawback is that using the Mac keyboard after using a mechanical gaming keyboard is a touch unpleasant (though it certainly wouldn't have been with any other laptop). a matter of habit), even though you become used to it after using it for 10 minutes. I'm happy with the purchase, and using the laptop has only given me good feelings. Because I must use both the Windows and Linux

Pros
  • The laptop is silent (I don't use rendering or anything else that puts a lot of strain on the processor or video card), and it has a chic design.
Cons
  • absence of common USB ports.

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

Happy with the 2022'16 model that replaced my 2015 Macbook Pro. The change was smoother than I had anticipated (even accounting for the 6-7 year age gap), but the sound pleasantly surprised me: it was just a gun. There is a performance boost, and I only I could afford a 32G model, but alas. The screen's pixel count has increased. My experience with macOS 2022 has been positive overall.

Pros
  • This is a firing squad! The screen resolution has improved slightly with comparison to the MacbookPro Retina 2022. Productive.
Cons
  • Weight gain of 2 kg due to heat is highly perceptible.

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

The sale is finalized in most cases. I looked into the XPS 15, but ultimately decided that a Mac would serve my professional needs better than Windows. I don't use a mouse (the trackpad's gesture controls are convenient), and I don't need a bigger screen (my laptop's 16-inch display is plenty). The touchbar is neat, but it doesn't seem to serve any purpose.

Pros
  • The laptop's display, chassis, sound, design, keyboard (which is superior to a butterfly keyboard), and touchpad are all top-notch, and it maintains an impressively low profile in the workplace. There is still 20% of charge left after using the laptop for an entire workday and an hour of the series in the evening (without resource-intensive applications, the brightness is around 70%). In general, office apps are too slow. During my two months of use, my laptop never crashed or required a restart. There won't be any annoying ates set up at the worst possible time.
Cons
  • Playtime is a need sometimes. Some games, such as World of Tanks, are unplayable on MacOS because the screen is a jumble of pixels. When running Windows, bootcamp significantly slows down performance. At low temperatures, both the central processing unit and graphics processing unit throttle too much. When the laptop's internal temperature exceeds 70 degrees, the GPU frequency drops substantially before settling at about 67 degrees on average. While in this mode, the GPU frequency reduces from the typical 1200 to 500 megahertz when placed on a flat table (that is, without interference with the cooling system). It's not just me; this is a huge issue. In addition, users report that after upgrading to Catalina from the MBP15 bootcamp, they exhibit similar patterns of behavior. In this mode, the GPU uses around 30 watts of electricity, compared to the usual 50 watts. And this is with the processor's power manually capped at 10 watts via intel XTU (to ease the strain on the cooling system). Although this laptop is not intended for gaming, its performance in bootcamp's working programs is terrible. Furthermore, this is really an artificial restriction. When running MacOS, the laptop's processor may reach temperatures of 100 degrees and use more than 50 watts of power, so there's really no reason to cap the temperature at 67 degrees. That is, the video card's power management has been improperly implemented. Infuriatingly, despite only requiring 30 watts to operate, the GPU only operates at half the speed it should, at 500 MHz. Performance is 2.5 times lower than claimed, thus if you need excellent performance on Windows, you should not buy this laptop. Maybe things will get better with ates, but I wouldn't put money on it. The bootcamp environment also prevents the use of touchpad movements. On a white background, I can notice that the illumination isn't perfectly even, but only if I look very attentively.

Pick between business and cost for now. The reviews were embarrassing due to the commotion caused by the chokes, the stumbling keyboard, and the general marriage. A lot of things died in previous computers, which was upsetting, but my 10-year-old Samsung laptop is still going strong and hasn't needed a repair in all that time. Meanwhile, Lenovo continues to confuse the faulty screen. On the whole, I've decided to play it safe and take a poppy again, even though I'm expecting to be disappointed,

Pros
  • The keyboard and audio have been upgraded, and the screen size has grown, but other than those improvements, I haven't found it to be any easier to use than my old, soiled laptop. I'd want to comment on the keyboard, saying that the new model is much more enjoyable to type on than its predecessor was, and that unlike with butterflies, my fingers didn't get fat from constant use. The new keyboard is quite similar to its predecessor, but I find it to be more reliable (at least I hope so), practical, and convenient.
Cons
  • The competitors' touch-sensitive, fully-reversible screens are a feature I miss. The i9 occasionally experienced minor lags in the cursor, and I got the impression that the processor was simply overclocking for complex tasks. This was not the case with the i7, but general impressions suggested that things began to move a little more quickly. The speaker once mentioned hearing what sounded like bug noises, although this was well after the ates. Otherwise, a regular Macbook isn't much better than 15 grand.

Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

As a professional photographer and videographer, I have been in the industry for 14 years. Recently made my first purchase of a MacBook. And I am very happy with it. Even after using this laptop for over six months, I continue to be impressed by its many useful features and smooth operation. I don't know why I waited so long to buy it. • The display alone makes this product worth purchasing. This is a fantastic resource for anyone doing serious color correction work. Regarding video editing…

Pros
  • Rendering in color Performing in color Putting it all together Safe Small but mighty A Bar With a Touch Screen
Cons
  • the display's proximity to the keyboard, If you have a lot of meetings, you may want to invest in a hard case that has cutouts for your laptop so that the screen is not in the way of your keyboard when the case is closed. Also, no, I do not shut it.

Reliable product for all occasions, quality on par.

I needed it for Xcode, and while it zips around nicely in this regard, the considerable heat it generates is unpleasant even when used for moderately "light" activities. I looked at several "reviews" and still don't get the excitement over the regular keyboard. As a whole, I'm pleased with my purchase; if you require Mac OS for work, go for it; if you only need it for play, there are alternatives that are twice as cheap and just as capable (yes, the same Air).

Pros
  • Excellent screen quality and MacOS, speedy unlocking and charging, a relatively responsive trackpad, and the ability to continue working in Safari while on the go are just a few of the iPhone's many impressive features. And the sound quality is amazing; I was really unprepared. Windows could be delivered by the backup system.
Cons
  • There's no heating, no ports (as this is a professional edition, not a consumer one), and the camera is terrible. If you have a Microsoft Office 365 subscription, you know that iCloud is a theft in comparison.

Pros: Very cool screen. Really cool sound for a laptop, watching movies is a pleasure, as well as listening to music through the speakers. Battery life is not 11 hours, but it keeps its 5-6 hours in operation mode (without load on the percent and video). Charges via usb type-c, charging from an old laptop came in handy. Paired with an iPhone, it is very convenient, in general, all this interaction of apple devices is coolly done - you can answer a phone call from a laptop, if you are sitting in

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

I first thought about changing my MacBook Pro 2022 Mid to a new one about a year ago, and throughout the year I watched reviews, weighed pros and not pros, and each time I came to the conclusion that there was no point in changing. The consumer in me demanded new emotions from buying an Apple device, and the rationalist asked: "why?", if my old man suits me in absolutely everything. I would have been happy to find fault, to find a reason why I definitely need a new Mac, but there was none) And

Pros
  • - screen - sound - touchbar - Esc :) - quiet

Switched to this model from a 2022 MacBook Pro 13. I took the gray version with the American keyboard layout (ANSI). Of course, in my case it was just a constant "wow" the first days of use. For those migrating from more recent MacBooks, chances are the difference won't be as noticeable. If you generalize and look at it as a whole, then this, of course, is an ideal computer for any person whose activity requires more than just a “typewriter”. The display is juice. The keyboard is good, with a

Pros
  • 1. Super screen, both in size and resolution. 2. Excellent autonomy - 8-9 hours in the "typewriter" mode and a little less when viewing / editing media. 3. 512 GB SSD and 16 RAM in the base is super! Graphic and video editors, a browser and a bunch of other applications work without problems in the background. 4. The sound is really space: both in bass and in volume and purity. 5. Normal keyboard. Feels a little worse than on the old 2022 MacBook Pro 13 (before the retina), but still an order of magnitude higher than on the defective butterfly. 6. I can’t say anything special about the microphones, but on the whole it records decently. 7. As always, an unrealistically cool touchpad. 8. Four USB-C ports (Thunderbolt 3). 9. Not bad graphics and a powerful processor - the same Blender works very fast, and Final Cut eats 4K video without problems.
Cons
  • 1. A 720p webcam in 2k20 is a shame. 2. The touch bar is useless. Really. At first I played with BetterTouchTool, but then I gave up and just left a number of function keys. 3. Very rarely there is a pop when switching videos in the browser. They promised to fix it with a software ate, but they never fixed it. 4. For someone it may be heavy, but I'm ok. 5. Four USB-C ports (Thunderbolt 3). 6. There is no longer such throttling (as on the MacBook Pro 15 2022), but the case can normally get so hot - it’s better to install Macs Fan Control and sometimes overclock the fans yourself. 7. Price, of course, the PCT version is just terribly expensive.

Not happy with this product, bad in use.

My employer gave me a box with a new computer. And I have questions for the Apple fans: 1. do you really like to press shift + 7 every time to put a period in the 2022 layout? The problem is solved - change the layout in the system to normal and re-glue a couple of buttons on the keyboard. But this is a schizophrenic solution. 2. do you really like to press shift + backspace every time to delete the characters on the right? There is no delete button. 3. Do you really like to switch between…

Pros
  • This is the best PC in terms of build quality.
Cons
  • Touchbar - do not understand whether you pressed the f2 button to edit the cell or not. We have to additionally check the screen. Often, accidentally touching the touchbar results in unnecessary clicks.

The item is average, not sure if it's worth the money.

The review is written about the basic model of the MacBook, but I believe nothing will change in the more expensive version, except for the numbers and fps by 10-15%. After reading material about the speed of new poppies, there were plans to abandon the stationary, connect the new Mac to the monitor and buy egpu in conjunction with 1080ti. But it quickly became clear that the high performance of new devices is just another marketing tale. It will also be a laptop in Africa. There are no…

Pros
  • -Screen (really noticeable difference) -Increased battery capacity (it seems to work longer than the old poppy) - Gorgeous sound (really wow effect)
Cons
  • -Performance compared to Macbook retina 2022 (i7 2ghz+8 gb), see comment - Throttling of both the processor and the video card in resource-intensive applications. I ran The Witcher 3 and Battlefield 5. After the first two minutes, the processor frequency drops to 2.2 Mhz, and the video card throttling starts after 10 minutes, when the frame rate drops from 60 to 40. The temperature is 70 degrees. As I understand it, the problem is in the power supply of the circuit. At the same time, you need to understand that there will be no smoothness even at 60 frames. In general, this is still acceptable, but why then put such processors in a laptop if they cannot work even at nominal value? What remains to be said about the i9 in a laptop and the price per rst of 230k! Marketing rules the world and brainwashes even power users.

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

I took it under the tasks of software development, there is more than enough stuffing because I do most of the work on remote servers and the most important thing was the diagonal and the keyboard (key travel and general comfort of work). The device retained the size of the model by 15 and at the same time the diagonal is significantly larger. I don’t regret that I switched from the 15th 2022. I have an American model, so it turned out to be cheaper, it doesn’t have keyboard Russification, but…

Pros
  • - Screen diagonal - Powerful stuffing - Keyboard - Weight for a device of this size - Battery life
Cons
  • No complaints

Average product, you can do better.

The laptop is working, issued by the company, I have been using it for proger purposes for almost half a year and I still don’t understand what they find in them. Laptops on Windows for the same money offer much more pleasant sensations and (no matter how strange it sounds) - more stable work. With the modern development of docker, even all this Unix piping is not needed. Maybe justified for those who sit headlong in the Apple ecosystem. For everything else - a very controversial choice, taking

Pros
  • Beautiful Pleasant to the touch Good screen Super cool built-in sound
Cons
  • If you do not reboot for a week, it starts to hang It gets very hot - it’s unrealistic to put it on your feet if there is more or less load The touchbar is completely unusable - there is little sense from it Not enough ports Very heavy (heavier than my Windows gaming laptop of the same size) It is impossible to wear without a cover - it strives to slip out, it is uncomfortable to hold

All complaints about a bad front camera for online calls and shooting yourself sound like baby talk. The camera is good enough for the job. If you write screencasts and want something serious, it makes sense to think in the direction of a separate expensive webcam. This is not new, but such a laptop is taken precisely for work. So that it pays off and brings money. I doubted the choice between 13", but after looking at the tests, it became clear that discrete graphics give a light in terms of…

Pros
  • Nice keyboard, much quieter than old scissors up to 15 years old, and even more so butterflies, where you punched a laptop, a table and a floor under you with your clacking fingers. Good speakers. The speakers give more surround sound than any previous models. But the depth of sound is lost at volumes above average, I think this is a design feature. The microphone writes a good quality sound. Faced with the fact that the buttonhole once broke and I had to write the sound to the built-in microphone of the laptop. Was very pleased. With a large trackpad. It fits the plus version of the iPhone and even the place remains. The trackpad is very easy to use. Even with two hands. Especially with two hands. Monitor brightness. For work, I use brightness in the range of 75-80%. Further, this redundancy is already beginning to burn out the eyes with white windows and applications. But for watching movies - the maximum brightness decides. Very comfortable to watch movies. I took to work with graphics and layout: sketch, photoshop, principle, after effects, figma . in general, not very demanding individually, but gluttonous in total software. Quiet. When it takes off, of course, it becomes noticeable, but most of the time, if it gets warm, it still quietly rustles with coolers. Large monitor. Compared with the 13th, it becomes much more comfortable to work with him. Formally, the screen resolution is close to a 22-inch non-4k monitor. That is, the working width is about 1700px + This means that you can, and probably will, do without an external monitor. I was afraid that he would feel like an elephant. No, now against its background, 13ka looks like the fifth iPhone after some kind of plus.
Cons
  • Headphone jack output on the right. For all models since 2022, this solution seems strange to me, especially if you use the mouse at least occasionally. The wire from the headphones at such moments begins to interfere. He is still mobile, but running with him around the office for an advantage in one hand is a little less comfortable than with a 13. Mostly due to size rather than weight. Noticeably heated in the upper part above the touchbar. Personally, this does not cause discomfort to me, but it may turn out to be critical for you.

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

I have the latest non-overpriced 1TB version, i9, and r5500m. I bought it in May, and since May I have been working on this laptop, the flight is excellent, Before that I had not come across apples, and I thought why they were when there was Windows, but the poppy was pleasantly surprised, After 2 months of work, I turned on the computer with Windows, and he it doesn’t seem so convenient anymore, I want to return to the poppy, If you have money, then it’s definitely worth taking,

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

The laptop was bought to replace two laptops. Macbook Air 11 inches 12 years old - 4 gb ram, core i5, ssd 64gb. and dns extreme (aka clevo p170em) -17 inches, core i7, 16gb ram, ssd 256gb and hdd 1tb. The main problem was the performance of the first laptop, an outdated screen, and the complete non-mobility of the second. The Mac was like a home laptop, sometimes it worked from it when I didn’t go to the office, and there was a working laptop in the office, which, due to its bulkiness, was…

Pros
  • 1) Power, compared to my previous laptop in 2022 core i7 16gb RAM and ssd 256, the increase in power is very significant here. 2) Incredible screen, if you have never worked on a screen larger than 1920x1080, you will be pleasantly surprised. 3) Sound, I would put it on the same level with jbl charge 3 (except for the volume of course) 4) Touchbar. As a person who previously used these keys on a poppy only as a change in volume and brightness, I can now say that everything is just as convenient, and you can also put keyboard shortcuts there, for example, the screen lock button on the touchbar is convenient for me. 5) Autonomy, yes, indeed, in routine tasks such as a browser and Word with Excel, the laptop will live for 7 hours, my previous laptop without an outlet in better times lived no more than an hour, and in the current no more than 5 minutes) 6) Dimensions, but with such power, the dimensions are very small, the weight is also tolerable, I put the laptop in a backpack, a backpack in the car, everything is very convenient. 7) The keyboard, I can’t say that it has changed compared to the macbook air of 2022, I didn’t really notice the difference, the keyboard is completely satisfied. 8) Appearance, yes the laptop looks very nice. 9) Airdrop has become much faster to work, I often shoot simple videos for YouTube on an iPhone, and it has become very convenient to throw them on a MacBook without wires. 10) The trackpad is much larger and more responsive than a 12 year old MacBook. 11) USB-c charging from two sides. It is very convenient when you do not know which side the outlet is on. 12) The headphone input also works for the microphone, in 2022 the macbook did not recognize the microphone through this input, only the headphones. 13) USB power supply with, in which case you can replace the cable without changing the power supply. 14) Bluetooth connection is more stable than in macbook air 12 years old.
Cons
  • 1) Clicks of the speakers, yes, I saw different opinions on the Internet on this subject, but the clicks are just constant, it clicks 20-30 times in the evening. They say it's a software problem, but Apple never fixed anything. 2) Again, apparently a software bug, but sometimes leaving the laptop for the night, in the morning it is in a rebooted state with an error about the system crash. Appeared on catalina 15.4 on 15.1 did not notice this . And this did not happen at all on the macbook air for 12 years ! 3) A very easily soiled screen, it is worth opening the screen and fingerprints remain on the screen, they could put some kind of cloth, the screen around the perimeter is glass and therefore it is impossible to open the lid without smearing the screen. 07/24/2022 No matter how perfect this poppy was, but after 1 year and 1 week, the motherboard broke, the laptop went into an endless reboot with kernel panic! One pleases that in 2022 there is a 2-year warranty by law, so it would stick to 30k. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the laptop. Everything else within all operating systems, no worse, no better, these are freezes of various programs, and so on.

Excellent sound. When you watch Dolby Atmos videos and sit in front of a laptop, the sound around you is like. The touchbar is a very cool thing, I don’t understand why some people don’t like it. The touchpad with two pressure levels of huge size is very accurate. I didn’t use the mouse on the old poppy either, but it was difficult to set the levels in the final file. And then there's surgical precision.

Pros
  • Our first MacBook with a touchbar. The touchbar is a very cool thing, it helps in many applications. And it solves the problem with poking around the monitor like on Windows laptops. All the pluses have already been told on YouTube, but after the MacBook Pro 13 2022 there are no shortcomings. Waited bye
Cons
  • Spacegrey gets very dirty. Saves a rag from an old macbook. This kit was not included. Clamp the rag shorter. And the old model had an extension cord to the power supply, which came up to the new one, but is not included in the kit. It's a pity. There are no shortcomings on the device itself. Lacks a card reader and usb. I bought an external adapter that is fixed to 2 connectors. Crutch.
