I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

I must say right away - after reading the discussions, when buying, I sincerely thought that it would be either love at first sight, or hatred to the grave. In the end, it turned out that this is just a very good laptop. There was no terrible transitional period with breakdowns and longing for Windows, I took it out of the box, set it up and started using it, like this, right off the bat. -Assembly and materials, of course, are amazing, it feels completely at your own expense. -A really cool…

Pros
  • Screen Assembly Housing materials touch bar touch ID Performance Sound from speakers OS
Cons
  • Keyboard touch bar

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

I have a MacBook Pro 13 "2022 (2.4 GHz) with a version of 16 GB of RAM and 256 SSD, I use it for development in the field of web programming (the stack is: WebStorm, PyCharm, Photoshop, Illustrator, Docker), the power is enough , I advise you not to take the version with 8 GB of RAM, otherwise you will suffer and suffer (in a highly specialized area) and in a year you will already think about selling. The keyboard, as if they were not driven to it, is of high quality, for comparison - the…

Pros
  • - Screen (it's not even worth mentioning here) - Keyboard (comfortable, that says it all) - Performance (i5-8279u, for a power saving processor, gives really good results) - Mac OS (a convenient system, I don’t consider Windows a bad system, because in 2022 it is very, very well assembled, but optimization is still in Mac OS, objectively better, and Unix systems are somehow closer to me personally) - Autonomy (with standard load: office, browser 6-7 hours, with loaded 2-3 hours) - Ergonomic (comfortable to work, even holding in one hand) - Touchpad (it's perfect) - Weight (not felt in the backpack) - Ecosystem with other Apple - products (one Sidecar, which is worth it)
Cons
  • - Build quality (Space Gray color, if you choose between this case and Silver, definitely Silver, since Space Gray, you will be killed in a month of active use, or you will walk with a plastic case) - The keyboard is imprinted on the screen and therefore the screen is scratched - All the dust settles on the keyboard and screen, you have to wipe it often - There are lags in the interface (this is already nit-picking, but a laptop for 172and such problems it has, judge for yourself)

1. I chose a poppy with a more powerful processor (2.4 GHz) and 2 coolers. It does not make noise at all, I have never heard coolers yet. As far as I understood from the reviews on the model with a 1.4 GHz processor, it heats up much more and makes noise. So I did not regret that I chose the 2.4 GHz version. Before buying, I read that the 1.4 GHz version has only one cooler, which is not enough for cooling. 2. Autonomy is higher than on an average laptop on windows, but not a record one, it is

Pros
  • 1. Screen, color reproduction at height. 2. Productive and not noisy. 3. Touch bar - something new and interesting and useful. Plus, you can change it to your liking. As a result, I use it a lot more than the F buttons on my old Mac. 4. The trackpad is much larger than the old models, it is a pleasure to use it. 2 degrees pressed, a dictionary is sewn into the 2nd degree, it's convenient. I work at a laptop without a mouse, I don’t need extra peripherals. 5. The keyboard is amazing. The most comfortable of all. Compared to old pre-facelift Macs, this is a whole new level. 6. Nice design
Cons
  • 1. They say the keys can scratch the screen. It worries me. 2. As far as I understand, all programs for flashing the Touch bar using scripts are paid. 3. The apple does not glow like on older models and can be easily scratched. 4. Adapters and adapters are my everything now. It's strange when a phone from a company cannot be connected to a laptop from the same company without extraneous adapters. You can't connect it to a TV either. You need an HDMI to Type-c adapter, and this is a rare and expensive pleasure. The same with flash drives, etc. And this is not very often needed, but it can always be needed.

Good day. Less than a year later, I changed the MacBook Air 13 2022 to the MacBook Pro 13 2022, what prompted me to do this. The answer on the surface is work. Quite a lot of time is spent communicating with AutoCAD 2022, unfortunately Air pulled this program out of its last strength, especially in large projects. Next, the requirements of Photoshop, here Air did a good job, but still there was some discomfort with a large number of layers, and the screen quality was not very good. For the…

Pros
  • Quality, ease of use, speed.
Cons
  • I didn’t find it, but still one standard USB 3.0 could be added.

Great value for the money, definitely recommended!

I switched to this model from a MacBook Pro 13" 2022, which was with a scissor keyboard. During the transition, I was afraid that something could happen to the keyboard. As a result, now I have been using the device since June, and no complaints. I process simple Final Cut videos in 4K, mostly without any tricks in the form of creating a proxy. But when it comes to all sorts of capacious effects, such as complex multi-layer color correction and noise reduction, then he sweats a little. In any…

Pros
  • Build quality, screen, performance
Cons
  • There are still not enough ports, and if at least there was an SD reader, it would be much easier.

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

I work with a silicone overlay on the keyboard, the laptop itself is in a hard "bumper". I'm thinking of taking a thin resealable cover, as I carry it in a backpack in a separate pocket, but still dust and small specks get on the screen. The screen is wiped very easily with a cloth for wiping glasses. Some pros: Weight, compactness, battery life, OS, price. It is very convenient to work with the built-in trackpad (set it up for yourself and get used to it for a couple of days) and the mouse is…

Exactly as promised by the manufacturer, high quality.

Absolutely worth the investment. Exceeded expectations. I do not regret that I took 13shku. Now when I pick up 15 I understand how big and clumsy it is compared to 13. Different pros: 1. Screen. Excellent picture quality, excellent colors. 2. Sound. Very juicy, deep. I can not believe that such a sound can be from a laptop. 3. Weight. Very light. I drive with him everywhere and everywhere like with a phone. 4. Charging. Holds for a very, very long time. 5. Mac OS. I really like how all Apple…

Summing up, I want to say that it’s better to assemble Windows in 70 and get high for the next 5 years than it is G, which cannot even use its potential. 8 GB of RAM is very small, the computer does not take out ordinary household things about Photoshop and other programs, it’s even worth dreaming about. Mac os is a great platform, but if you want a normal macbook that works fine, then prepare 200k, and if you choose between this misunderstanding and an excellent Windows for this money, take…

Pros
  • Screen and keyboard, that's all
Cons
  • This is not a laptop, but a disappointment. It is heated from FBontakte correspondence, if you open several applications, this is the death of the device. Very weak if you buy for photoshop, final cut or programs like Logic x, then think a thousand times, personally, I didn’t even record any orchestra, I just wrote the simplest mother’s beats, but the computer gets so hot that it’s impossible to hold it in your hands. You can forget about using it at full brightness because the laptop will fly to the moon, I don’t know why the backlight of the buttons on this laptop, if when you turn them on, even at the minimum it starts to warm up, that you feel hot with your fingers. Touch Bar keeps freezing and makes no sense

I do not advise taking 128gb. 8gb of RAM is still enough - everything flies, everything is ok. Getting used to macOS is hard, but inevitable. When I periodically had to use a Windows device for a short time, pleasant memories of this operating system appeared, despite all the horrors experienced with it. I wanted to shed a tear. You get used to it all and you like everything, but still remain in moments in which it is easier with Windows. They can be forgiven against the background of all the…

Pros
  • Screen. Not at all small; Perfect build. Unreal pleasure from touching him; A keyboard that is a pleasure to type on; The trackpad is really the best way to interact with this device; Fantastic autonomy. Excellent mobility. Sometimes it's like a tablet. You can do anything, anywhere and in any position.
Cons
  • When opening a laptop, you constantly touch the glass frame around the screen and leave your fingerprint data there; Very soft metal I haven’t scratched it yet, but after a light knock with the metal nozzle of the microphone on there was a dent left on the edge, spoiling the tactile sensations :( After the first activation, my charge level was not ated (it was always 100%), until I fixed it by dancing with a tambourine (an isolated case, I'm sure); The screen could be a little brighter.

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

The laptop is fiery, it's just a pleasure to work with it. Before that, I had a sony vaio with ssd, there were no complaints about it, it served faithfully for 6 years, I would have served longer, but of course, it is morally obsolete. Of course, if you, like me, are an inveterate user of Windows, then the transition to a new OS will require some time from you. And if you sometimes have to send reports in your work, write patents together with people who use microsoft_office, then if there is…

Pros
  • Build quality Weight Screen On/off time Battery Life
Cons
  • Haven't used it for a long time and haven't found any issues yet. The only thing I have heard is that the butterfly 🦋 keyboard is a bit unreliable, so I would advise you to take RosTest, as there are rumors that after laser engraving the warranty for it flies. Well, if you are the same pig as me, I warn you that space gray is more easily soiled than silver.

A nice laptop, but not a dump of the head. He is just good, he is not without flaws. Its pros: Design Touchbar (yes, it's convenient. Yes, it's useful) Keyboard (Very nice to type on) Screen (it's obvious) Touchpad (best laptop touchpad I've tried) macOS (it's really convenient and beautiful, I've been sitting on Windows all my life before) Its cons: Warming up. Strongly. No break loads. Keyboard (the design itself is annoying, my friends had broken keys) I lack performance (although I only use

Disgusting, dissatisfied with the purchase.

in fact, you buy a frying pan for 100k, which heats up to 100 degrees, and when you call those support, they say this is normal for such laptops. in addition, a terrible operating system, when after opening the laptop for a minute the keyboard and touchpad do not work, but the touchbar works the keyboard is terrible in terms of the fact that over the years it stupidly sticks inferior to magicbooks stupidly in performance, but costs 3 times more I thought I was paying for the warranty and…

Pros
  • screen
Cons
  • mac os catalina just worse than windows 98, keyboard

I took it purely for compilation and general development. Basically, it works. Sometimes I look at it something online. There are no complaints about the piece of hardware itself, although no, there is, you can forgive a fixed RAM, it is almost eternal, but it’s hard to forgive a fixed SSD. When his term expires, then your Mac "after the twelfth blow" will turn into a "pumpkin" - USELESS trash. I have a laptop in 2022 - working, trust in the manufacturer - appropriate. You connect an external…

Pros
  • The sound is noticeably different from conventional laptops. The screen, although the difference is not particularly dismantled, but they say good. The touch bar, or whatever this strip with a "virtual" keyboard is, is a cool idea. Oddly enough, I installed: Open office, Lazarus, GIMP, VLC, Opera and other little things.
Cons
  • Price - you can take 2 ordinary ultrabooks with similar characteristics, yes, the case and screen will be a little worse and the sound is simpler, but it's not so pitiful to use. SCH* Can't in NTFS, read only, can't in Android memory. Although for money, if you buy a program, maybe this and that. SCH* Unable to replace SSD. About putting a larger volume, I generally keep quiet. For those who don't know, SSDs are more prone to wear and tear during use. The absence of any external indication: power, disk, radio modules - it is not clear what and in what state it is, it is charging, it is not, Wi-Fi / bluetooth is on or not, it is sleeping or off - it is unknown. If you leave it for a few days, you can stay with a discharged battery - what it does in a dream is incomprehensible, you leave a Windows laptop - it will go into hibernation and will gobble up no more than 3%, I'm not even worried. X-code wants to ate, but cannot, because there is not enough disk space (18 GB free), and it still does not tell you how much it needs, maybe 100 MB, or it can format the entire disk. I* S* The first, but no, the second ate "broke" the USB port, although it worked later, but it was unpleasant, the Internet is via a USB Ethernet adapter, and bam - it doesn't work, I thought the port was covered. I* S* Several times it hung up, and many times it rebooted on its own, an error occurred. WITH* Total 2 USB type C ports, while charging - count 1. Щ* You can run into fraud with a purchase or subscription. SCH*

This is the first non-Windows laptop. Yes, 10 is good, sometimes beautiful, and continues to develop. But, it has many downsides. Mastering Mac os was easy enough, as they are quite similar. Misunderstandings with deleting files (you need to hold backspace and cmd), but I seem to be used to it. Also difficulties with the "Cut" command for files. I really don't understand how it works here. But, for text it works the same as on Windows. There are also disadvantages in working with windows. Not…

Pros
  • *Screen. Very clear letters. Perfectly tuned flowers. *Weight. A debatable plus, of course. Similar laptops in terms of parameters on Windows can weigh even less. But, nevertheless, it is practically not felt. *Operating system. Comfortable, overall logical, very beautiful.
Cons
  • Probably just the keyboard. It is comfortable, of course, the key travel is pleasant, but after six months of use, one was that the gap began to stick. I managed with the help of a pear, which is used to clean cameras, but, just in case, I bought compressed air, since it is not expensive.

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

I've been using it for less than a month but I'm happy as an elephant. Since my work is my computer, then there are no problems at all, when switching from Windows I was stupid for a couple of days, I didn’t know where to press something, but quickly began to navigate)) In general, there are a lot of all sorts of lotions in it, but I feel they won’t be needed

Pros
  • Fast, bright, light, no need to turn off the button every time, just close the lid and that's it. After using Windows, it took a couple of days to figure out all the nuances. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend Apple to everyone.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

All this time I used only Windows computers (mainly ASUS) with powerful assembly and performance, but they lost a lot in all respects compared to Pro at my request. If you need a laptop for office work and one that you can take with you everywhere, this seems to be the best solution on the market. Before buying, I watched "copies" from Huawei, but according to reviews, many features in the Chinese version lost by an order of magnitude - I saw a lot of reviews about touch ID on Huawei's snot.…

Pros
  • + battery life + performance + retina screen + sound quality + laptop dimensions
Cons
  • - work with non-native gadgets / accessories is not optimized (but I didn’t expect this, I rather just tested it) - the back gets very hot when working with high-performance programs (I also saw heating when sharing the screen for 30-40 minutes in video conferences) - graphics go a little in high performance games at default screen resolution settings - the price at the current rate bites a lot, but if you no longer have the strength to wait until the next program on Windows opens, it's better to invest in Pro and save time and nerves.

Good value for money, I recommend it.

In general, I'm satisfied, I got used to it from Windows to Macos pretty quickly, but at first it's certainly a template break. You can't compare the two, each has its pros and cons. But for me (I'm a web developer and I'm not alien to the console and Unix))) macos is still winning. Pros: Compactness, performance, perfect touchpad and keyboard, convenience of macos (but this is subjective and for the most part the merit of the touchpad with its multi-gestures or whatever they are))) Some cons…

The average product, you can find a better one.

If you are "La professional" who does not know how to work on other software on Windows and you are forced to use this garbage because of your laziness, then take it, you will not regret it, just prepare 2 boxes at once. The first to be sent to the service center of this device and the second with a new macbook, because in the service you will be charged half the cost of a new laptop.

Pros
  • Matrix quality and calibration. Autonomy. On later versions of MacOs, there is an option not to wind cycles when charging up to 80%.
Cons
  • Another scam for dallars. Switched to this model from Macbook Pro retina 15 2022 with iris pro graphics and nvidia 650M. I thought it would be cool toffee plus a new generation of all that, but it turned out that the old integrated graphics of 2022 are productive 3 times exactly in the same Aboba CC 2022 and indeed in general. For the sake of interest, I launched the Dysco Elysium game on it. It works in 15 frames at minimum settings in resolution as in plecstation 3. On the old retina, even discrete graphics were not needed, on this game, specifically, iris about graphics produced 40 frames per eye in full HD at high settings. Thin case, the display cover is scary to open and close, especially after 2022-18 models where the cable was torn when the cover was opened more than 89 degrees. Typical Masonic breeding for dallars. Since 2022, this computer, like any other Macintosh, has been operating on the principle of "we warm up to 80 degrees and then turn on the valves to the maximum", which subsequently results in the wear of the fans and wipe off the thermal paste as well as the heat pipes.

I will add. 0620222022 I called Apple support and they told me what to do. You need to discharge the laptop below 90% (which was not easy, since it turned off every time by 90%). Having discharged by 88%, I put it into sleep mode. And left it on charge for 10 hours. More than the laptop does not turn off spontaneously and the charge quietly goes to 0%. In support, they explained that the "cunning" power chip was to blame.

Pros
  • Lightweight, self-contained, compact, productive, cool screen, nice keyboard, cool touchpad. The computer itself is great. BUT, see disadvantage
Cons
  • Everything would be fine if not, but: The laptop is 1 day old and it has already shown a marriage. After 30-50 minutes it is cut down and does not respond to the power button. It does not overheat, charging 90% when this moment occurs. Not loaded at this moment absolutely. It turns on only if you connect the power and then it works. You take out the power for 30-50 minutes and again the black screen does not respond to the inclusion. Resetting the settings indicated on the apple website did not help.
