Review on Apple MacBook 13 Inch 2 3GHz 256GB by Janis Riekstins ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

Yesterday I bought a device, today I ran for a usb type-c - usb adapter (25 euros). Took in Europe for 1100€ (1400-24% invoice). In general, after a laptop on Windows, I'm happy as an elephant. Of the obvious shortcomings, for me personally, this is the heating of the case in the upper part of the keyboard, as well as the prices for accessories and programs, because a docking station for $ 400 and a Pdf reader for 3k is somehow too much. It turns out that the laptop costs not 1500, but all 2022. It was worth putting at least one adapter in the box already. On the other hand, I don’t really need all the connectors, usb is enough. In any case, these are all little things that are easily solved. Prices are high, of course, but what can you do, it's worth it. In general, I was faced with a choice between this laptop and Lenovo yoga 14 ", which is 2 times more powerful, while it looks no worse, and it also costs 200 euros cheaper. But still I decided to stop at this option as an experiment. About memory. Regarding 128GB, I can say that out of the box and after installing any ates, 119GB is available. After installing various applications and programs, such as final cut, it remains somewhere around 80-90 (depending on the number of applications, respectively). By the way, regarding an external hard drive, it was a revelation for me that I need to format it in order to then use it FULLY (edit, delete, etc.) on a poppy. As a result, I had to delete a lot of necessary, but very important files (maybe only 80 GB on a poppy .) It’s still difficult to say from RAM, I myself really wanted 16GB, but now I doubt this is necessary. Okay, here, in order to understand, it will be necessary to use Chrome with a million tabs, Adobe Prime and Photoshop. The laptop left a very positive impression, a little unusual at first after Windows, but later it's normal. Moments: little heating, biting prices. Take it in Europe or the states, 70-80K! And remember, you pay for quality! Mac OS, in my opinion, is much more stable than Windows! Less headache. ates on a poppy are installed well for 10-15 minutes, on Windows 40-70 minutes . (compared in the store)

Pros
  • Mac OS (programs and applications are very convenient and beautiful), build quality, screen, speakers
Cons
  • No
