Pros
- It’s worth mentioning right away that I have been using Windows all my life, both server solutions and home solutions, including laptops with Windows / Linux. I even have a review of my second Lenovo Windows laptop that I did about a year ago, you can check it out on my profile. MacBook Air M1 - my first experience with MacOS and in general with their equipment (not counting the iPhone) - Very good autonomy - if you work (putty, winbox (crossover) slack, tg, opera, sometimes pycharm, sublime text), then it turns out about 9-10 hours at a brightness of 60%. If you watch YouTube, read Habr, order something on Alik, surf on the Internet, listen to music, write texts - that's all that any laptop can do - it really lasts for 17-20 hours of battery life at a brightness even above 75% - when connected to Wi-Fi AC. On the previously reviewed Lenovo laptop, when charging was enough for a maximum of 4 hours, at the same time it was necessary to set the brightness to almost a minimum (let it be 10-20%) - Real sleep (consumption per night is not more than 1%), instant exit from sleep (on laptops with Windows you often open the lid, and the screen is still black, although the system is on nvme, and night consumption can be up to 10-15%) - The touchpad is different, pleasant, nimble, there are pressure levels, there are gestures. Windows also has gestures, but they somehow clumsily work there. - The ability to change the brightness of the keyboard backlight is not so essential, it is good. - Lightweight and good quality case. Slim case, light, beautiful, no stickers on the case like here GTX video card or Intel-9x series CPU and the like. On the back cover there is only an apple in the form of a mirror and that's it. - The sound is really good, I did not expect this from a laptop, it is cleaner or something, if you can call it that, and louder, even than on my second Lenovo laptop. - Does not buggy and does not freeze. And it's no secret that Windows bugs, freezes and crashes at the most inopportune moment, and this happens even on the most powerful systems. In this case, everything works smoothly.
Cons
- - Without focus on the window, you can not change its size (on Win you can) - In the AppStore, almost every first software is paid or very limited and immediately offers a subscription (it is clear that you can simply download distros from the Internet) - Splitting into halves of the screen when using CrossOver applications causes bugs - jumping texts, gui elements - Total 2 type-C ports + 3.5 jack. Yes, the hub is the only way out if you have a wired mouse (not everywhere the touch drags), an external monitor, and some other peripheral) Further disadvantages due to the complexity of the transition after Windows: - Switching languages - either the Fn key or control + space, fingers sometimes continue to reach for alt-command and therefore you often have to look at the panel, which is the current language - Control, option (alt), command (win) buttons too wide - Switching desktops is something that is extremely difficult to get used to, because for good they need to be placed correctly for convenient work through mission control (there is a gesture), but this is good for advertising, but when working, it is very infuriating if the window is not expand to full screen - it will not create a desktop and swipe on the wheelbarrow you will not immediately find the desired application, it burns from it. Perhaps it's a matter of habit and in a couple of years I'll get used to it. - The cross and the horizontal stick do the same thing - minimize the app. You can only close the application from the dock bar or command+Q in an open application, but I have seen a plugin that fixes this stupid MacOS feature. - The cross, square and stripe are on the left, while on Linux (default) and on Windows they are on the right, well, you get used to it quickly.
