Review on Renewed Apple 13in MacBook Pro with Retina Display and Touch Bar – 3.1GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Space Gray by Mateusz Komorowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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. In general, macOS + computer hardware is optimized so that it feels like you are working on a powerful smartphone / tablet. The Adobe package opens and responds instantly, just like Figma. I was very impressed with the screen and the quality of the 5.1 sound output. So far I have not seen him equal - if only in the same price category. To work with several applications, 256 GB is enough for the eyes: I installed about 10-15 additional programs, they did not take up much space. I haven't compared it with older Pros, but when compared with similar models in its category, it will win a lot.

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.
