Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

A Mac is a Mac, it works, it works way better than any other laptop. Before buying, I went to watch it live several times, there were big doubts, I didn’t want to take such an expensive laptop with outdated characteristics compared to Windows laptops, however, I believed people who admire it - it really is worth the money. Usability is what we pay for, raised to an unattainable bar in poppies, everything else matters very little. If you need a working tool that will be comfortable to work with,

Pros
  • Smoothness and clarity of work; Excellent OS compared to competitors; The keyboard and touchpad are simply out of competition - chicanes; Swipes - you'll love them! Good screen (if you look at the same hp screens are just awful) Autonomy - 10 hours without recharging, in sleep mode (closed lid) no battery consumption! Well-written programs, professional software; No viruses! No anti-virus programs slowing down the system! Lightweight, beautiful and stylish Everything a work laptop should do, it does professionally.
Cons
  • It happens that the network falls off after sleep - I don’t know what it is connected with, there may be problems with the router; Once I had to restore the system due to a crooked ate - but the data was not lost, I just had to get nervous. Toys for gamers are not provided (casual games mostly). High price

One of the best deals, glad I bought this.

Eer before is a compact ultrabook with fairly good hardware. Now this is not the most compact device, and the hardware is simple, but I can’t say that the price tag is too high here. Eer is currently the most affordable macbook, a good inexpensive device. To purchase it is quite possible to consider. Now about memory. Apple has its own memory format, just an m2 die will not enter here. There is an option to buy third-party memory for a MacBook connector, but the price there is also not small…

Pros
  • Everything that will be written concerns the era of the middle of the 13th year, but it is also applicable to modern ones, the difference is not big. -The battery life is declared 12 hours, in fact, for the first couple of years if surfing the Internet was enough even for 16-17, after 5 years, the battery is even less alive and there is enough charge for 5-6 hours, but most of the time the macbook was used at home , so I couldn’t kill the battery much, but it’s still nice. -Optimization. Even a simple five-year-old config works quite well for itself, at that time it was possible to choose a version with i7 and with a lot of RAM, so i5 turned out to be a more reasonable choice, because i7 heats up noticeably, and you should not expect super performance from an ultrabook. Although to be honest, there are no hangs / lags / blunts even after 5 years. Process photos in a pixelmator / photoshop and run frutiloops performance is enough, more than. -Weight and compactness in general, although now there is a macbook that is more compact than the air and the screen is better there, decide for yourself, but the money there is different for the device. Poppy safe - magnetic charging is just a plus, on modern poppies it was abandoned, but an extremely useful thing. catching the wire with your foot you do not break the laptop, but only unhook the wire. It sounds like a dubious plus, but in fact, try it - you will understand what I'm talking about. - For students / teachers on the Apple website there is an option "Macbook for education" I bought myself five years ago, save 10 percent. Anjoy.
Cons
  • -Screen. Even 5 years ago, such a resolution was such to itself, it doesn’t cause any pain, but still the pixels are large. - Expensive memory and its small volume. Big difference in price between 128 and 256 versions. But in the comments there will be more details because it is solvable. -Performance level typewriter, weak graphics, but it's already there. Need performance - take the plug. -The power wire for the 4th year just began to climb around, the rubber on the wires is quite environmentally friendly, the wires become flimsy over time, and this whole thing changes with an external power supply, although again there is nothing eternal and some great indignation it didn't cause it. The same lightings have to be bought consistently every six months or a year. It's still divine.

Best thing I have ever used, highly recommended!

This ultrabook will indeed be a great solution to move away from Windows and into the Apple ecosystem. No, it's not just for work. Of course, you can forget about games, but you will most likely find all the necessary applications. If not the App Store, then from sites or torrents. The ecosystem is really convenient, and until you try all the chips completely, you won’t understand what it’s about. Well, about the price. Yes, we have it overpriced, but pay attention to liquidity and a possible…

Pros
  • - Autonomy. Enough from morning to evening with active surfing and working with documents - macOS! The system is really worthy of everyone's attention. Smoothness, gestures, speed and Handoff + AirDrop synchronization if you have other Apple devices - this greatly simplifies life and the principles of the ecosystem - Keyboard. Silent, comfortable - Still relevant design for ultrabooks - Touchpad. You don't need a mouse, trust me - Magsafe. This is what Apple is coming to again and it's in Air17 - Utility for installing a second system and easy switching between them. Don't forget a 256GB SSD - It's silent unless overloaded. But it is very difficult to overload it, so you should not even think about it. - On board the necessary connectors for most people. Most likely, you will not think about adapters, unlike new models - Instant unlock with Apple Watch - payment on sites using Apple Watch
Cons
  • - Screen. It is juicy, but the pixels are still visible - Margin of body

Not perfect quality, there is a small defect.

Most likely it’s not worth your money, especially considering the memory, it’s suitable purely for watching movies and the office, in fact, it is not capable of more. Different pros: Let's start with the advantages, probably this is the design, ease of use, a fairly compact, convenient touch pad and probably a good autonomy. Has cons: I really didn’t like the fact that it gets very hot during any tasks, even when working in Word, if you run any game, even the simplest one, after a few minutes…

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

I took it for trips, in parallel I study Swift and Xcode. 4 hours of coding and it's time to bet on zadyaku. In general, you can code, but it's better to buy a mini dispalyPort - HDMI adapter and connect an external large screen. Emulators do not load quickly, but they load and work without problems. But Youtube can probably watch 8 hours. It heats up to 80 and the fan cuts in. Loud but tolerable. Turns off at 40 degrees. The screen loses the retina, but! if you don't compare them head to head,

Pros
  • weight screen availability of USB 3.0 ports MacOS fast charging touchpad, it's a pity that it's not as big as the forcetach, but it's quite good and comfortable card reader keyboard backlight key travel is very comfortable - for typing - the best solution turns on/off quickly (from sleep) assembly screen auto brightness the presence of pirated software XD sound quality from the built-in speakers. Not top, but quite good The latest non-killing model without problematic keyboards and retinas A very stylish thing, it really looks aesthetically pleasing in hands, if this is important to someone Good warranty support The last model on sale that has a soul that glows (bull's eye on the lid)
Cons
  • Autonomy is good, but you should not dream of any 12 hours The layout of the keys on the keyboard is unusual and not always convenient the shutdown button where the Delete button is usually is not scary. The Delete button works through Fn + Backspace - not convenient. The Yo button is not where you would expect it at all short Shift in RU version Expensive repairs The price of the laptop is high, of course, like everything from Apple

I definitely recommend buying, I didnt notice any disadvantages.

I advise you to buy if you do not need to play with it and work with images. Has some pros: 1. The speed of work. You open the lid and immediately the laptop is ready to work. For 3 years I rebooted it no more than 20 times. 2. Assembly is beyond praise. The metal case is pleasant to hold in hands, very strong, presentable. 3. The perfect keyboard that makes you want to type all the time 4. Battery lasts 7-8 hours 5. A real workhorse. Worked with him for 3 years. Only the best impressions…

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

Has pros: Lightweight, miniature, excellent autonomy (more than 6 hours) Some cons: the screen is so-so if 4 GB of RAM with a very heavy load (50 browser tabs + background video and some kind of Word all at the same time) there may be friezes

Good product, more pros than cons.

I chose for a long time before buying between air and pro of the 17th year. Confused by the outdated display and Air versions, and the fact that this is possibly the last model of the line. The Pro didn't like the new port. In the end, I decided that Air for 56 would be better than Pro for 82 under all conditions. For work in the browser, Photoshop, simple video editing, the computer is ideal.

Pros
  • Battery life, design
Cons
  • Screen, old ruler

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

A great laptop for people who work anytime, anywhere. All reviews-comparisons with the next model indicate that the performance was almost higher for the old man. But the screen loses in all respects. Personal advice. Take only 8GB and more 128GB ssd. Personally, my 2022 Mac with 89% battery life and 700 cycles, keeps in active use 6-7 hours - this is a chic indicator that will give shape to almost everyone at the moment.

Pros
  • Absolute top for your money, no matter what anyone says. It is important to understand why you need this laptop. For working in spreadsheets, photoshop, surfing, working with photos, etc., this is the best. For gaming, take a gaming laptop. Touchbar is the best Build is the best Autonomy is the best You need to take 8gb / 512
Cons
  • -Of course, in video rendering it is rather weak, but it does the job. -price (here for someone how) -screen (it's old and makes your eyes ache)

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

I chose between Dell and Mac, I preferred the assembly and the new OS. I needed it for the office, there are no problems with the macrosoft package, everything is convenient and familiar after Windows. Then in poppies I chose between air and pro 2022, I compared it head-on in the store, on the pro the saturation of the screen (it seems too much to me), the sound is louder, but on air it’s enough, on air there are human connectors for work. It works smoothly, you can watch 4k, the screen is very

Pros
  • Assembly, battery life, sound, and oddly enough - the screen, the eyes do not get tired at all, compatibility with iPhone, regular USB ports and a card reader.
Cons
  • Screen - resolution, there are no complaints about the quality of the matrix.

Not at all what I expected.Terrible!

I bought it in 2022. This is my first experience with apple technology, I did not expect such a disappointment that for 65k + additional software, I would have something average in assembly, fragile and sparkling. I bought it for business trips, there are no questions in this regard, the battery holds well and is light, it is convenient to take it on a plane to study. Ihmo the price of such a laptop is 15-20k maximum.

Pros
  • A light weight good screen Performance (for basic functions) Convenient dimensions Long battery life
Cons
  • The build quality in my case is lame, at the bottom a few bolts stick out and scratch the surface Surprisingly, the trackpad cracked, how it happened was not understood (probably somehow squeezed unsuccessfully in the bag), but this is a clear reason to be on the alert. When you plug the adapter into an outlet, sparks fly all the time. There may be a very long list of complaints about the usability of MacOS, but I won’t describe it, since there is probably an element of my habit to the Windows environment. But, as examples: viewing photos is some kind of hell in terms of convenience in comparison with standard Windows tools; the delete button does not delete files (combinations must be used); The default software is terrible. That is, the difference is huge, and if you already have windows at work or at home, it’s better to think 10 times before considering a Mac.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

If I were asked about a purchase that justified itself 100% and the money spent on which is not a bit sorry, I would confidently call this computer. People who buy this device should know what tasks it is intended for and what operating system it comes with. If you are not a gamer and are willing to pay for a licensed office, then there is nothing to fear. Mac OS is much (!) nicer, smoother, more stable to use, you get used to it quickly and you don’t want to go back. Having seen enough of…

Pros
  • The Apple ecosystem is working with a bang. Everything connects, synchronizes with each other (do not forget to turn on Handoff): they call a phone in another room - you answer from a laptop, start typing a note on a poppy, and continue typing on an iPhone with one click. Lightness, mobility, ergonomics, build reliability, design, size and functionality of the touchpad (do not be too lazy to go into the settings and see how many different gestures you can use for your own convenience in work), battery capacity (although it does not hold 10 declared hours, but still quite tenacious), fast charging. Compared to its older, ated counterparts, it has normal full-fledged connectors, the keyboard does not stick. Lightning-fast turns on, wonderfully copes with daily tasks, does not lag. Silent, does not heat up.
Cons
  • Although I understand that the case is already a hundred years old at lunchtime, it’s still annoying that the headphone jack is old - 3.5mm, therefore the native lightning iPhone headphones are not suitable. The small screen resolution still sometimes makes itself felt.

I am amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Verdict. I never understood why all sorts of Yabloko love poppies so much with their inadequate price in terms of price / performance ratio (I'm not talking about price / quality, here, probably, they are comparable). But I myself still wanted a poppy. Why, why, I did not realize, I wanted everything. Initially, my choice fell on the MacBook 12. In general, it suited me for a number of reasons, but I didn’t choose it for just one reason - the lack of full-fledged interfaces, and I didn’t want…

Pros
  • -First things first, of course, the look and build quality. Everything is on top, you will not say anything. -Autonomy is the scourge of most laptops. Right there, with my nature of use, everything is just great. With such a load, an ordinary screw laptop worked for an hour and a half at the most. In the poppy, the time has grown to at least 4.5 hours at full load. I don’t know how long it would have worked for me with normal use, but it’s enough for me. - No matter how they blamed him for his modest parameters for such a price (I agree that the price is extremely inadequate), but nevertheless. I don't know how the mac breaks down the load on hardware resources, but it manages to not slow down and smoothly switch between running applications without slowdowns. My very favorite KSP game, which is very demanding on performance, hung the Windows laptop almost tightly. It was stupidly impossible to do anything else during the game. Here you can also open 10 tabs in chrome, and everything will work smoothly. -The apple is glowing, which can not be said about the new poppies - No matter how trite it sounds, but in the light of new trends, the presence of two full-fledged USB ports, an expansion slot for cards and a Mini DipsplayPort (hello to all the same new poppies and poppy 12) -Again, this may seem strange to someone, but since mac os is still a *nix system, the presence of a terminal helps out in most cases and glitches. You can fine tune everything. -The ability to run in dual block without any special dances with a tambourine as well as Windows. In addition to the bootcamp, you can also run Windows from an external hard drive in a dual boot. - The relative simplicity of the system itself. -Weight, thickness, screen brightness and keyboard backlight. -Trackpad - it's great in terms of gestures and functionality (in part, but more on that below) -MagSafe same -Quiet
Cons
  • Screen. I can’t say that it’s absolutely terrible, but for 2022 they could have put it better. - Auto-brightness and auto-illumination of the keyboard. How it works, I do not understand at all. Those. sometimes podstaraivaet under lighting, sometimes not. Or is it my glitches, in general I didn’t like it. - Difficulty in disassembly and assembly of parts. It's so easy to disassemble it and change something (such as a drive) will not work. I can not say that this is a critical shortcoming, but nevertheless. - And this, in my opinion, is a serious shortcoming. The relative simplicity of the system translates into complete non-simplicity. And here's the thing. After the purchase, I chose English as the main language (blunted, yes). In the settings, I changed the localization to 2022 without any problems, but after that some of the menu and window elements remained in English. I already sinned on the tightness of the system itself, that in principle there is no translation into 2022 of these menu items and windows, but it turned out to be more and more difficult. The Mac axis does not understand that when changing localization it would be nice to translate everything, and not just what is immediately visible. As a result, I could not solve this problem without a terminal. Here's the simplicity for housewives. -In particular, I note the presence of several 2022 layouts. Normal and PC. But who, for you, in their right mind would guess that the PC is the usual layout, and the 2022 one is some kind of enchantingly idiotic? -Lack of familiar Windows keyboard shortcuts. More precisely, they are, but all these commands and options put me into a stupor at first. -Trepad - why, your mother, by default is not worth touching on it, like clicking with the mouse? I already thought that every time I had to press the trackpad. Fortunately, I guessed to go into the settings. And here I also note the lack of settings, when you, like on Windows, double-tap on the trackpad, hold your finger and this action is regarded as moving? To do this, you need to press the trackpad button and hold it to drive, which is extremely inconvenient, and your fingers get tired of it. -Lack of free sane programs for monitoring the state of the laptop (temperatures, etc.)

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

I bought my wife to replace the old asusa. We installed an office and a photoshop application for working with external drives without any problems. The most important thing is that now her eyes do not hurt from work, she can sit for a long time and does not complain. The keyboard is very comfortable and backlit. The touchpad, compared to all the laptops we have, is just heaven and earth. Everything works quickly and smoothly, there are no lags. Expensive, but you understand what you paid for…

Pros
  • Design, materials, simplicity and ease of use. Sound. Screen. Multi-touch.
Cons
  • Could not connect Xerox 3117 printer, no drivers (.

YES BUY THIS COMPUTER! I literally ordered it on a Wednesday and it arrived the following Monday despite being told it would arrive in a week or a week and a half. You'll get this computer in five days maybe instead of two days but it makes sense because it's a hardware utility that isn't available anywhere BUT AT LEAST it didn't come in a week because I'm a student and I'm me needed my laptop

Sold a broken laptop, didn't return the money.

Worked fine for 2 days until WiFi died completely. This gave me a "No Wi-Fi Hardware Installed" message that I couldn't fix. I sent it to a certified computer technician thinking it would be an easy fix. He checked my laptop's history and said it was checked out at an Apple store a year ago by a previous owner who had the same issue but nothing was resolved. My computer tech went out of his way to fix it until the only solution left was to replace the motherboard which cost $380. I chose not to

I like that the laptop has no scratches or signs of wear. Looks branded. I would like to buy a slightly larger than this one. So far, so good. I just got it in the mail today so I hope it continues to work well.

Various problems out of the box.

Many questions out of the box…. The laptop looked good, it was clean, nicely packaged, but it was impossible to use. If it was on for more than 10 minutes, it got very hot. Several buttons didn't work. There were both hardware and software problems. It was a gift, so it was very embarrassing when one problem after another cropped up. Now I have to get it back and send it back. I would not recommend buying this laptop, especially if you are planning to give it as a gift.

Pros
  • Useful not only for the intended purpose
Cons
  • Very expensive
