    One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

    The screen is very big. Just right for those who work remotely. Carrying with you probably the 14th would be enough. For the first time I open windows not on the whole screen - everything fits even on coding, even on video editing. The browser even has too much space, half the width of the screen is enough, you can watch YouTube in the corner in mini-mode. Some write that he is fat - yes, he is not as thin as the old ones, but I would call him solid, not fat. Plus, the thickness seems large due

    Pros
    • Really big and high quality screen. I've been playing around with it for a day, until I charged it. The charging wire is finally made of high quality.
    Cons
    • The keyboard merges into one large square with the same letters, on the old macbook there was a contrast between the buttons, but here I can only work out of habit.

    Revainrating 5 out of 5

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

    The size of the screen is crucial to me because I use a laptop all day long. I read in the evaluations that 14 is adequate and that 16 is simply enormous. The 16.2 screen actually has the exact same width as the 15.4 norm.

    Pros
    • Good screen; silent operation.
    Cons
    • zero USB ports

    Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

    Has pros: Great poppy! Just right to buy now: M1 Pro carries everything you need. Even some games from Steam are launched, everything is without problems. For M2 now I see no reason to overpay. Different cons: Keyboard in English, BUT! the store did a free engraving, so consider it not a minus.

    The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

    Different pros: Yes, in principle, everything, if you didn’t twist the price in 2022 like that. It should cost 200 if only it will be at maximum speed)) And so, where the hell . 120 the price would be excellent and at least in terms of performance in tasks it would keep at the level of gaming laptops for the same price . Yes, it’s clear that “but look how beautiful and high-quality”, I agree, chic and show off, the main thing is that it would be good. I'm not buying an accessory The touchbar wa

    My first macbook and I love it! It is very pleasant to work behind this, all the necessary tools got up without any problems. I even ran Divinity: Original Sin 2 on ultra settings at 0.5 screen resolution - it gives out 80+ FPS. M1 - power!

    Pros
    • Bright, color-rich screen Sound - 6 speakers really do the trick Chip Power Long lasting battery
    Cons
    • too thick No App for Netflix

    Upon delivery, as a result of transportation, the corner of the package was crushed. Not a significant nuance, but still worth paying attention to the additional packaging based on the cost of the goods.

    Pros
    • Works great. All according to the description from the store. I think about the MacBook Pro itself, you can always say that it's just aerobatics.

    No complaints, I recommend to buy.

    The laptop was bought only for work, mainly web services and a little python. It's a pleasure to ride on it, BUT This poppy does not work with 80% of monitors on the market)))) if you do not have a standard 144 Hz monitor, curved, gaming or something else with a probability of 99% it will not work correctly for you, (symptoms: incorrect colors, low hertsovka, blinking, long exit from sleep, sometimes does not see the signal at all) why? yes, no idea at all, PS it's not about the cable)))…

    Pros
    • Design Build quality Speed Battery Ecosystem Sound
    Cons
    • New architecture and mac axis bugs

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

    Received at work as a working laptop. I use it in parallel with my personal one (Pro 13 M1). Before that there was a Pro 16 on i9 I'm quite tempted by expensive laptops, but this one blew me away. I won’t say that he renders everything wildly fast (I don’t care if he finishes at 3 am or 6 am), the main thing is that he does all this just silently. At full, 100% load for 5-10 hours, only a pleasant rustle can be heard from it, which is no longer audible at a distance of a meter, unlike Pro 16 on

    Pros
    • Silence. Complete silence. Always wild power Absolutely perfect screen, sound, touchpad
    Cons
    • Heavy Marky screen

    Good product, not disappointed.

    NEVER TRUST YANDEX-MARKET, at least for bonuses. Naughty HANDS OF YANDEX MARKET and their SENIOR COMRADES will do everything possible not to pay the declared bonuses, changing the rules of the game on the go (releasing new builds of the application) and impudently resetting the bonus account. What you, of course, learn only after three weeks from the date of purchase.

    Pros
    • The battery holds as stated, at least for the first week.
    Cons
    • Keyboard (one big spot)

    Revainrating 3 out of 5

    It works, but I don't think I'll be buying it again.

    Dear toy. Their processors improve certain things, for example, the screen wakes up quickly when opened, a number of applications work faster, applications open faster, but this is not a super jump in performance, the advantages inherent in mobile devices have long been added. And in terms of graphics power, it's just marking time. It is not more powerful than competitors, approximately at the same level as it was. Or 5 or 10 teraflops, not so much for such an expensive laptop. It is worth…

    Pros
    • 1 body is cool, plump, rounded on the outside, it’s nice to take it in your hands. 2 sound fire, really like it. But the bass is strange, it is not bad, but there are no vibrations from it. It's like it's empty. Although I know that they did it on purpose, but somehow it didn’t work out very well. 3 120 hertz gives a good smoothness to the system, the macOS even feels more pleasant somehow and is more responsive from this. 4 The autonomy is not bad, but not wow. If I worked for two days, it would be wow, and so, from morning to evening, and that's it. 5 The screen is very good in terms of colors and saturation and contrast, but it is easily soiled and easily scratched. I pasted the film and some of the advantages are already lost . With the film, the anti-glare is no longer so beautiful (
    Cons
    • A very heavy laptop, of course, that it weighs so much, probably mini LEDs and a battery. The case is thin, the display lid is pressed even from a light touch, what will happen if you put it in a backpack where something else will rest, I think there is no need to specify. In general, an aluminum case is not the best solution, if plastic has a chance to withstand a blow, then aluminum will bend without a chance when it falls. Therefore, you need to be very careful with it. You can lift it from the table only by the hinge slot from the bottom, there are no more options, because the bevels of the case are minimal. The laptop sits high above the table, the sharp corner digging into your wrists as you type. The keyboard is very flimsy. All prints are yours. The display is very easily soiled, the display cover still peels off when rubbing against the edge of the keyboard and touchpad in the closed state. I advise you to immediately stick the film. The cutout for the camera is absolutely moronic. Full screen mode does not use the area under the notch.

    I have been working with poppies for about 10 years. I decided to try m1 pro, I really liked it. The speed of compilation of projects is much faster, it is very difficult to load the percent to hear the coolers, which cannot be said about the graphics. 16 cores, they still get hot if you run something that requires graphics to work in native resolution. An example of Diablo 3 (2022) - at maximum speeds in native resolution and on a laptop, you can fry cutlets. 16 GB of memory - it’s the most…

    Pros
    • - speed in native software - design - build quality - software support - touchpad - screen - sound - autonomy
    Cons
    • - black keyboard backing, everything merges into a black mess - inverted letters for ru / eng on the keyboard, it's not clear why it was suddenly done like that - 16 GB of internal memory - the minimum for normal operation - stuck hdmi 2, it would be better if they made another usb-c

    Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

    I suspect that due to the location of the meshes on top of the case, dust can clog in them, although the speakers themselves are small and are located near the part closest to the user. Hopefully the matte finish won't peel off over the years. Since I am typing blindly, it does not matter to me that there is no Cyrillic alphabet on the keyboard. Do not listen to video bloggers with their minuses sucked from the finger about bangs, edges cutting to death, etc.

    Pros
    • This is a Mac - the design, the quality of the materials and the screen are top notch. I am sure that for this price (especially for the Air M1) you will not find anything better. Either they will be thick and noisy gaming laptops, or elegant, but with a FullHD screen. My tasks do not particularly load the machine, so the current power is more than enough. So: 1) the screen - here it was and will be said without me - the best on the market. For me, as a designer, it is important to display colors objectively; 2) space-sized touchpad - it's really huge . Always from the mouse involuntarily stretches a hand to him. Surprisingly, of course, but only in the case of Apple technology, the touchpad is really convenient to use; 3) performance - here I can say that I personally have enough for growth. I do not play games, I use programs for working with graphics and writing code - these are all the needs that I am sure this laptop will be able to cover for many years to come; 4) appearance - everything is obvious here - elegant, elegant, rich; 5) a large number of ports (although I don’t really need them); 6) sound is just space - depth, details, low frequencies - it's a pleasure.
    Cons
    • Not identified. It’s only a little annoying that the charging cable is too strongly attached to the laptop - you can accidentally knock it off the table in this way .

    The laptop was in the factory packaging in white with a film. No signs of opening. I did not order the 2022 keyboard layout, so no one got the computer out of the package to me. If you will use the Migration Assistant, it is better to connect to the old macbook by wire or use an external drive to transfer data. In my case, due to a weak Wi-Fi signal or an old router, the Migration Assistant did not transfer all the data to the new computer.

    Pros
    • Smart computer in a beautiful design. Large display 16 inches. I used to have a 13-inch MacBook, and it was sometimes inconvenient for me to use it because of the small size of the screen. And I don’t experience any difficulties with this computer: the text is clearly visible, and photos, and sites. Of course, the screen is not as big as the desktop, but still. Excellent sound from the built-in speakers when working at a computer. There were no problems with the seller. Everything is fair.
    Cons
    • For two weeks of using the computer, I did not notice any shortcomings.

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

    Has pros: The charge lasts 2-3 days. Excellent speakers and microphone. The screen is beyond praise. So it did not turn out to load so that the coolers would work. Super device for work. Its cons: Keyboard with little travel, not very comfortable. Euro plug not included.

    I was surprised by the quality for this price.

    I switched after Windows 11, from Honor Pro 16. Before that, I had never used Mac OS, but I got used to it quickly enough. Initially, I was guided by the 14-inch version, but at the last moment I decided to take the 16-inch version and in the end I did not regret it. The PCT version came with 2022 letters from the factory. I ordered at the end of February, with a cashback came out exactly 160K for the base model. Now, of course, the price tag has grown quite well.

    Pros
    • Screen, performance, sound, autonomy
    Cons
    • Price and weight

    A wonderful product, its nice to use.

    Before that, there was a MacBook Pro 16 i7/16/512. Noticeable increase in performance, speed. The keyboard has become more comfortable. The battery is generally fire, I can work all day + several hours of video calls and last until the end of the day. Pros: Everything: screen, keyboard, speed, performance. Battery! Its cons: Is that the weight and "square" appearance. But you quickly get used to it.

    A valuable purchase, some advantages!

    Got pros: Passed after 2022 retina and Air M1 The speed is just crazy - applications have never worked like this. PS opens in 3-4 seconds, Xcode compiles 2x faster than Air M1 The battery lasts forever. The bangs are not visible - it merges with the top panel Its cons: This is already nit-picking, it's just hard to find flaws Too magnetic charging input - do not tear off Too big touchpad - difficult to reach the keyboard It takes a long time to get used to the design. It is 1 mm thicker, but it

    I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

    A laptop is worth its money if you work on it. With its pros: I bought an "American", while the packaging was intact, not opened, but in fact an engraving was made on 2022 letters. These laptops are on average 10% more expensive than regular Americans. Now for the positive: 1. The last time I used a poppy was more than 10 years ago, in 2022-13, respectively, I used Windows for a long time. Compared to Windows, first of all, the difference is in the keyboard, some buttons are unusually located…

    Experience of using about a week. Before that, I used a MacBook Pro 15.4 (2022, i7, 16 RAM, 256 GB hard drive) for 2 years. I compare first of all with it. The usual mode of operation for applications running simultaneously: Outlook, Excel, Word, Mozilla / Safari, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Citrix, Parallels / TeamViewer, WhatsApp, Skype, Teams. The old Mac was a fiery one with regularly running coolers (especially in video conferencing with screen sharing over Skype). It's just unpleasantly…

    Pros
    • 1. Fast, cool, comfortable with long running time. 2. Super screen: comfortable, bright with excellent aspect ratio. 3. Excellent keyboard: comfortable, quiet with improved key layout (no touchbar, comfortable arrows, a separate button for changing the language). 4. Great sound. 5. More comfortable to handle than the MacBook Pro 15.4 (2022) especially the top cover feels more secure.
    Cons
    • Black keyboard backing and inability to work with Windows through Parallels
