Type of review

Using MB Pro 13, released in the middle of 2015, I upgraded to this machine. I knew I was switching to a more powerful device class, and I expected a noticeable boost in performance. Taking a model with an i9 was an option, but the i9 has a high power consumption, and for my work circumstances, this is essential, so before making a purchase, consider whether you really need the extra 10–15% computing power at the expense of battery life. The computer is utilized equally at home and in the…

Pros
  • High-Quality "Butterfly" Screen Classic Design, Separate Esc Performance Sound
Cons
  • High-peak cooling noise levels Extraneous 720p Touch-Bar Camera

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

The 15" macbook pro retina late 2022 and its succeeding reissues in 2022 and 2022 were the best laptop on Earth from the fall of 2022 through the winter of 2022–2022. I so happily survived this entire time by eating them every two to 2.5 years (last time purchasing the final one from the showcase in 2022). The king passed away in 2022 and was succeeded by an unidentified what. Then there were the troubling times when anyone who occurred to jump over the clave with a can of compressed air would

Pros
  • Finally a functional keyboard, stunning display, and quick speed. Interestingly, the cost! The minijack is still there, thank God. I detest wireless earbuds!
Cons
  • 1. "USB-C only" - adapters are required. 2. All of our connections are soldered! 3. A 3-year warranty is available for an additional fee, but only for 1-2 years.

The product disappointed, does not meet the promises.

It was discovered that the fault was not software after spending more than two hours on the phone with those support and running a variety of tests. A technical support specialist scheduled a visit with a licensed service facility. I was courteously declined to replace the laptop at a warranty service location. Declared flaws in the laptop's functionality are allowed. To be fair, it should be mentioned that the laptop actually functions wonderfully (apart from the XD squeak) and that all tests…

Pros
  • Strong processor, quick SSD, nice operating system, excellent screen, and steady operation (never restarted). The second operating system was installed via Boot Camp and was the simplest Windows installation I've ever experienced. I didn't experience the speaker clicking issue, which has already been fixed. Small yet clear key travel on a good keyboard.
Cons
  • Two of the most outrageous flaws, in my opinion: 1. Consistently noisy throttles 2. Noise when under load The first flaw noted above is as follows: the laptop continuously beeps when attaching peripheral devices (mouse, hub with rj-45, etc.). While this noise is not audible while working in the office or throughout the day when working from home (street noise, refrigerator, etc.), it is tremendously bothersome at night. The sound is comparable to that of vintage radio-tube televisions. The second issue stated above appears as follows: when you power on the computer, open a browser (with several tabs open), or launch "heavy" applications, the laptop makes sounds that are similar to those from the HDD (even if it is installed, of course, SSD).

A really necessary purchase, Im glad I found this product.

In addition to the aforementioned significant benefits, my choice of Mac and iPhone was based on factors such as superior security, design, and the so-called UX, or user experience, which refers to how well every aspect of the product was planned out and executed. In terms of attributes, my old computer was just as good as this one, but it was never without issues. Little, but all of this ruins the day and the work. This is why I switched from the Sony Android smartphone to the iPhone and then…

Pros
  • 1) Screen - take off! This is significant to me because I am a designer. Due to the fact that all the evaluations mention screen issues and that designer models cost no less than that, I refused to purchase laptops up to $100,000. But 2) comfortable working in the Apple system - I have an iPhone and air pods pro headphones - after purchasing them, be ready that you want to switch to MAC - and this justifies the expectations - calls work directly from the phone - you can talk on the laptop, calendars and reminders are synchronized, and even - with one button you can continue working on the phone, or vice versa go, continue reading the page on the Mac The third touchbar, a touch screen above the keyboard, is the most practical. I disagree with the type of toy described here. Of course, this is WOW, but it's also applicable, for instance, to video editing, which is again COMFORTABLE job because on a Windows laptop, you had to spend a lot of time configuring administration, etc.
Cons
  • My hopes were exceeded by the Mac. Since I've been contemplating this miracle for a week, I've been joking that Karabas Barabas is merely a day off.

The problem of laptop heating was solved by disabling the TurboBoost mode. It turns out that Intel and Apple are misleading users about the speed of processors. Yes, they will work as advertised in TurboBoost mode, only the laptop will be like a frying pan. If you disable this TurboBoost mode, then it seems to work quietly. There are no complaints. Pros below: The keys click divinely. The smell of the laptop as new. The sound is fantastic. Screenshot! Some cons: The laptop under full load…

Now I have a current machine Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (each sandpiper praises his hearth) tactilely it is more pleasant in general, they want to compare here. If Mac OS is not fundamentally do not rush. it is desirable, for example, to look for a bu just to compare it live with the Thinkpad X1 on an IPS matrix Some pros: Back in 2022, when the Thinkpad was bulky and without IPS out of the box, and normal ultrabooks had not yet learned how to make, the Macbook Pro was the best solution for…

Disgusting, I don't recommend it to anyone!

Extremely unreliable expensive and capricious aluminum crap, in which the i9 does not work normally - with any serious load, it lowers the frequency so as not to overheat the percentage and you do not see the performance as your ears. I highly recommend this laptop for purchase. Forget about the good old poppies. This is a completely different product, and it is very bad. Look on ebay - everything is littered with motherboards from such laptops marked "locked ssd".

Pros
  • Big and Expensive. It's good to throw it at opponents - it's a catchy one.
Cons
  • To begin with, I could not work normally on a laptop. At first, I moved to it for a long time - there was no time because of work. The case was terribly scratched from any touch. I put covers - but while I was waiting for one week, I already put a couple of scratches. I put Starcraft on it, played once a week for an hour. The laptop was on the table as a stationary computer. I noticed that the laptop gets very hot and the fans roar terribly even on such a simple game. Further more - one day the laptop did not turn on. Neither resetting NVRAM, nor other "fingering" helped. The service was diagnosed - the SSD does not work. The brick is absolutely unrepairable - you need to completely change the motherboard. For the SSD is soldered into it, like all other parts. To make your life easier. Plus, it is still reliably protected by some kind of smelly T2 chip, which gives a headache during any repair.

Before that, I used MBP 13 for several years, and was waiting for the release of the new MBP 13 (in general, I was waiting for 14). But when it came out in May 2022 (it did come out with 13), and in the normal configuration it turned out to be not much cheaper than MBP 16 in the base, and base 16 is better than top 13, I decided to take MBP 16, but not in the base, but with Core i9 (MVVM2RU /A). Still, you take a few years, with a reserve for the future. I have been using it for almost a…

Pros
  • Everything is fine

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

Has pros: excellent quality screen, chic performance, build above praise, after Hp envy straight heaven and earth, nothing creaks and shakes. Its cons: noisy, during a video conference the fan starts to work and is slightly uncomfortable.

Average purchase, there is something to complain about.

Those who want to switch from Windows to MacBook will be very disappointed, the functionality of the MacBook is smaller and not more convenient compared to Windows (although when I was on Windows, I thought that on a poppy that everyone praises, everything will be just fantastic, in fact it is not). On my macbook, only Skype works better than on Windows (for me, Skype is just the most important program, when Skype starts working again on Windows without delay, I will switch to Windows).

Pros
  • Assembled well. Stylish handsome. The screen is juicy to the fullest, I don’t even turn it on, it hurts my eyes. Very nice speaker sound.
Cons
  • The main thing I want to warn about ! This model has flying screens. I’m changing it for the second time since April 2022. When the screen starts to give a strip, I completely change it with the top cover. Without a guarantee, it would be very expensive. Below I will attach the replacement documents. IMPORTANT ! - if you take such an expensive laptop, it is better that it be through Certify, then the guarantee will be 2 years according to 2022 laws. I took it, not Certify, which means that the guarantee is only one year from the date of RELEASE of the laptop! And I don’t know how to solve the problem so that the screens don’t fly! (( The battery runs out quickly. To say that it works super fast will not work (I have 16 gigs of RAM) I use in parallel the second old laptop that is more than 5 years old and I have to do some operations on it (an old laptop on Windows). MacBook took the first time.

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

Expensive but cool. Glitches are tolerable. I can advise you to buy, it is definitely better than the 2022-2022 models. Pros: Gorgeous screen. Long battery life when not buggy. Hours 10 you can watch HD video. If you read books with a non-bright screen, then it writes an expected operating time of more than 20 hours. Everyone talks about the keyboard, it's normal. For 3 months, not a hint of any errors with her. Esc is separate. Keyboard clicks are not very similar to 2022, it is still…

A completely ordinary product, nothing remarkable.

in general, everything is fine with the laptop as long as you touch it on the test bench. as soon as you dump a quarter of a million for him and stay alone with him, you begin to overcome that very path strewn with bottles. for those to whom money is given by difficult work, I will say this. you must be aware of why you are taking this laptop what you will do on it. what kind of work to do. you should be clearly aware of how the work behind this laptop justifies its purchase. otherwise it's a…

Pros
  • The build quality of the case is very solid and hard, while the lid opens easily. you can really get by with a touchpad if your work is not 24/7 sitting in Excel. usb c ports - here, as it were, the future has come + you can charge on all 4 ports (not at the same time of course). the keyboard is finally the good old and not that squalor without a pronounced keystroke and which sticks. The screen is a large bright large square, without glare and with high resolution. Sound - speakers here will straighten your little bluetooth fake on the shelf. (if you had one of course) in general, the laptop is designed so that everything you can touch, hear, touch and see gives you tactile satisfaction and pleasure. The effect is comparable to anti-stress toys.
Cons
  • when you start using poppy os after 10 - 15 years on Windows, you understand that let the development of poppy os be littered with bottles. (if you know what I mean) in principle, in the modern world, it should not matter what system you are sitting on, because 90% of the time you work not in the system, but in software. mail messengers browsers games development environments photoshop design, etc. but why the hell can't a system unpack zip files out of the box? Why do you need to download separate programs to disable sleep mode? maybe, of course, I didn’t understand something, but in my opinion, Windows out of the box can be much more. games. if you want to play on a poppy, then in any case it is paid and not justified. Let's look at 3 options. 1 roll Windows and play all torrent pirates? - theoretically yes, but in practice, Windows on poppies gets up extremely crookedly, some basic things like wifi sound and so on periodically fall off. what can we say about the work of the processor and video card under load. 2 to buy games on the poppy system? - yes, but sooooo expensive, the metro exodus costs about 7 thousand in the app store. while for Windows 400-650 and sometimes even for free on some distributions. 3 cloud gaming. the most optimal of all options BUT. you need to buy an adapter to connect wired internet. games must be purchased in the stores that support the service that suits you + fee and the use of the service itself. Not all games from to are supported. the price even if you get the salary in dollars is a very expensive computer. after 7 months - a year after the purchase, it starts to troll to drop frequencies up to 1 GHz - it is decided by a banal cleaning, but not everyone can do it at home. gets very hot because of which the battery degrades faster than it could. the apple does not glow (((

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

Inza had enough good power and memory capacity to install the second Windows system and the problem with games was closed. now there are no problems in general. Installing Windows is just fine. everything else was up to par. this is subject to the experience of using iMac 5k 2022, MacBook air 2022, Mac mini 2022, iPad and iPhone of course of different generations.

Pros
  • This is the best laptop I have ever had.
Cons
  • It’s a pity that you can’t customize the Touchbar, although it’s possible to get it soon. Well, the price, although this is not a minus, it’s just that there is not enough money in 2022)

Poor quality, not suitable for use.

Before that, I used a 2022 MacBook Air (dual-core core i7, 8 GB of RAM), it was quite a convenient device, though it began to lag after 5-6 years (probably after the last ates), at another job they issued a new MacBook Pro 16 with core i7 and 16 gigs of RAM, it was expected that everything would fly, as a result, the lags are the same + some freezes were added. The device heats up wildly, you can’t put it on your knees during operation (you have to put something on it), the battery died very…

Pros
  • touchpad, monolithic
Cons
  • heating, short battery life (the battery died in a couple of months, probably due to wild heating), low performance - lags and friezes are constant, the touchbar is a stupid thing

I deliberately took the American version for the sake of a long left shift and the Enter key. Probably a matter of taste, but I feel much more comfortable when typing. In addition, the discount compared to the official is significant. I heartily recommend this model! We fixed all the main disadvantages and complaints about previous models, there’s nothing to complain about :)

Pros
  • The first truly cool, no-compromise Macbook in a while! I switched to it from a 15-inch model with an i9, so I write pluses in comparison. 1. The screen has become even larger. Whether you work for him or just watch a movie, such a change will be very helpful. 2. For the same money, you get much more powerful video cards and exactly twice the amount of SSD. 3. We returned a reliable keyboard with a good tactile response. I’ll also include here that the arrows have corrected - now you can determine where up and down are without looking. A separate physical Escape - many thanks for that too. 4. Battery life. It is significantly larger than the 15-inch 2022 model. I won't give exact numbers, but the difference is huge. With inactive use, it can last for a whole day of work. 5. Silence. This is what I was missing in the 2022 15-inch model. I turned on the torrents - the laptop made a noise, you watch a video in 4k on youtube - howl again, and there were a lot of such scenarios. Now the laptop is really quiet, I don’t even remember when it last made noise with the fans. A more massive case and a new cooling system have definitely benefited. But I deliberately took the junior configuration on the i7 so that I would not overheat for sure. 6. Reworked the sound. I personally don’t listen to music through the speakers and don’t watch movies, but this approach only pleases. 7. Unobvious plus. The trackpad has been moved down a bit, now there are fewer false touches.
Cons
  • I did not find any obvious cons for 2 months of operation. They fixed all the main problems of the previous model. I don't want to think. Unless the physical size of the laptop has grown, so it may not fit into your existing cases, bags for a 15-inch model. Just keep in mind.

Comparisons: There is a macbook pro 13 2022 without a touchbar 1. Office work and FS - no noticeable difference 2. General performance - not noticeable 3. Heavy tasks - noticeable 4. 16 is just huge compared to 13. 5. Sound - much better at 16 6. The screen is the same, a little bit as if the color is different 7. Keyboard: taste, but I like the butterfly more. There were never any problems with her. Working on Windows: There is a PC on i5 9400F 16GB of RAM SSD M.2 (4k read) and GTX 1060 6gb…

Pros
  • Express review! The screen is the best on the market. just wow Keyboard - butterfly like more, but it's good, yes Sound like a concert The speed of work - well, it's really fast. For office tasks, creative - iiiiiaalno Camera - did not use, there is an iphone for the camera Touchpad - cool as always, got bigger, miss clicks don't happen Touchbar - xs Che everyone whines. Handy cool thing, if used for its intended purpose Tachid - very comfortable and cool Weight - xs, normal Battery - top Cooling - better than macbook pro 13)) In idle - no fan noise, complete silence
Cons
  • Controversial video card. Sufficient for the office, for serious work - it is better to use an external one. 100k and you have a top video card MacOS PPC works with external large monitors (34 for office tasks - hell, for editing - good, I think. Warming under the backside is seriously enough

The product is very low quality, not what you need at all.

Apple support says - rearrange makos. Rearranged ten times and so and so. They said iron, take it. But the Apple warranty does not work until the end of May! Passed under warranty in amazon. Taken for 45 days. And what now to do so much time without a tool for work?! And this is with a qin of a beech in a quarter of a lama ?! Moreover, this problem is not only with me, a friend took the same one, and he has a one-on-one problem. Do not take it yet, wait until Apple fixes this junk, or…

Pros
  • There were once, but they all ended on the model of the 15th year.
Cons
  • Everything is buggy and wildly lags. The laptop randomly reboots. Does not come out of sleep mode, moreover, every time. Gives errors. Sometimes it's just a black screen, the touchbar is on and nothing happens. Only reboot button helps.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

I am an old apple cub, in 1999 I bought an iBook, loved it and suffered with it at the same time, then in 2022 a 15" MacBookPro (then it was like now 16" in terms of power and price). Well, a few iMacs in between. Now I needed a powerful device to work with GoPro videos, surf, torrents, infrequent movies and very infrequent games. I also needed a station to sync my iPhone, all my iMacs are extremely outdated. Sometimes pick up something frivolous in After Effect for videos, a little Motion…

Pros
  • -power - excellent screen - excellent sound for a laptop -ssd is just ultra fast, but I have never had a computer on such a drive, so this is just an unfounded admiration. There are probably faster drives. - hull quality -nice clave (we'll see in terms of reliability) -the brightness of the keyboard (at the minimum it is quite enough, you could not do the adjustment at all))) -touch bar (never happened, but I don’t see much advantage, it’s more of a toy actually) -Fucking touch sensor on the power button. And payments and access - all through it, very convenient. - the Esc button is physical. With a touch sure it would be uncomfortable.
Cons
  • -on renderings it gets hot as hell and yells with fans -too big touchbar, it's unusual for me. Why make it so big when you can just turn up the sensitivity. - under the keys of the clave, light breaks through, but these are the features of scissors - under Catalina, 32-bit programs and games do not run, but this does not apply to the laptop of course -too strong heating of the entire laptop on heavy tasks, but this is already physics, until they can jump above it, but they try very hard. -probably the price, but try to make a similar laptop and sell it for at least 100k. These are unique things and ask for absolutely reasonable money for them.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

Someone will say there is no usb and so on, but personally I haven’t used flash drives for several years, you can connect a monitor through an adapter, everything is solved. This is my first personal Mac, before that I sat on Windows, but not one Windows laptop can be compared in terms of ease of use, build quality with a macbook, this is not even talking about the axis Really strong and damage-resistant body

Cons

I'm amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

An ideal choice for those who sit with 15 kami dotachbarovsky era. I would even characterize this minor ate of the line as "Make Mackkbook - PRO again". We got the super-reliable scissor keyboard back, the physical "ESC" back, and got rid of the i9's wild throttling on hot rocks by making the case bigger and improving the cooling system. Actually, these were the fundamental factors for moving from the old platform in the form of a macbook 15 mid 2022. And now to not so significant, but exciting

Pros
  • macOS keyboard computing power screen sound
Cons
  • the absence of an extension cord for the power adapter, which used to be included in the standard package.
