Review on Renewed Apple MacBook Air - 13-inch Retina Display, ๐Ÿ’ป 1.6GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5, 256GB in Gold (Latest Model) by Stanislaw Kalinowski แ Œ

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A little bit not what I expected, generally fine.

The first poppy (there were already 2 generations), in which there are so many errors: 1) the globe button is constantly turned off and the globe button does not work (only restarting or using another assigned keyboard shortcut solves the issue) . and even when it works, the language does not always switch from the first time 2) the "brighter screen" button turned off a couple of times and the "brighter screen" button did not work (only a reboot solves the issue) 3) the promised performance is very "conditional", starting the system after a reboot, the first launch of Word and Excel take the same amount of time as before (yes when they are already running, everything happens much faster) 4) the same errors with fonts (not readable) when unpacking archives created in Windows, as before 5) the inability to enable the function: automatically go to the password entry screen after closing-opening the lid laptop 6) a stupid solution with a charger (you need to aim at a narrow type-C gap, and it's better not to touch the wire while the poppy is charging - the laptop will follow the wire), even in poppy 2022 year there was a magnet 7) the impossibility of the support service to quickly solve all the above "software" issues (and filmed a video, and did a screen recording, and sent a photo, and a support employee connected, . so far to no avail).

Pros
  • 1) design (in conditions of ubiquitous plastic, aluminum looks elegant and beautiful) 2) autonomy (of course, there are no 18 hours, but the whole working day keeps with a bang) 3) light and compact (takes up little space in the bag, the weight is not felt when traveling) 4) speed of work (something became faster, something remained the same, rather today (I donโ€™t edit graphics and videos) - this is more Apple marketing)
Cons
  • 1) switching the input language (the globe button often turns off and does not work // the issue of getting used to the new button is subjective, I liked the cmnd + space option . because the globe does not work, I had to relearn to ctrl + space) 2) other system errors (while the system is very raw) 3) a very small distance between the up and down buttons (I constantly press both) 4) type-c for the charger - inconvenient and unsafe 5) performance has not yet lived up to expectations 6) the logo on the lid no longer glows, it is made with a mirror surface (marked, scratches will be visible over time)
