A valuable purchase, some advantages!

The network wrote about the uneven legs of the laptop, I came across a normal copy. In general, the purchase is very satisfied. Has some pros The keyboard is softer, which is critical for me, because it was painful for my fingers to type on the scissor keys of the previous model. TouchBar in some programming scenarios is very convenient, for example, you can view the man page in a separate window. Before that, I was quite skeptical about the Touch Bar. You can customize it in your own way, you can bind certain actions in the IDE to buttons and display them on the Touch Bar. Not the fact that it's faster than shortcut, but it's convenient for me. Migration Assistant, as always, is on top, in the evening I received a clone of an old laptop without any problems. The sound from the speakers is an order of magnitude more voluminous than older models. The 4-core core i5 made the build process much faster. The external size of the laptop is smaller than the previous model in 2022, while the screen size has remained unchanged. Some cons: Now you have to buy a bunch of adapters for external devices because only type-c connectors are left. The magnetic charging cable is gone. But it was a trademark of Apple. He also saved the laptop from many free flights if you accidentally hit the cable. This is not the case with a type-c cable - a colleague's laptop fell once because he accidentally hit the cable. The apple on the roof no longer glows.
