Review on Apple MacBook 13 Inch 2 3GHz 256GB by Michal Kucharski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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

Previously, I had an MBP 17 "Mid 2022, then an MBP 13" Retina Late 2022 (the most awful model, in my opinion), then I went without a laptop for two years, and I finally purchased this one in early April. For the following reasons, I opted for the model with the Touch Bar: First, it has TouchID; second, it has a faster SSD; third, it has more ports; fourth, it is available in Hong Kong (without a touchbar) in a 512 GB configuration; But I haven't yet "tasted" the Touch Bar, which is pretty much worthless if you already know all the shortcut keys and are a touch typist. Shouldn't I have waited for 15"? Simply because I can get by with less power and a smaller form factor. The absence of a USB-A port wasn't listed as a drawback because, presumably, you already know what you're doing with this laptop and are prepared to either use an adapter (which isn't a big deal) or purchase a flash drive with two connectors. In overall, I enjoyed using the laptop, although I preferred the older memory; it's a shame that a MagSafe 3 port of the size of USB-C wasn't included. If you use an Apple Watch but don't need a lot of extra storage or connectors, the model without the touch bar is your best bet. P. To those who believe that purchasing Xiaomi because it is "2 times better and 2 times cheaper" is the best option, I say "good luck," but I'm not interested in going that route. I'm not going to debate though; there are obviously many different perspectives. Make a well-thought-out decision and appreciate the item.

Pros
  • Exceptional display; Lightweight, compact design; Convenient in every way Excellent performance for such a compact device; Beautiful trackpad design that doesn't make you want to cry or scratch your eyes out; — The music sounds fantastic; - Unlike other brands, you won't need a tambourine or crutches to start using it right away; - helpful if you already use Apple products and services.
Cons
  • The removal of the card reader was unnecessary, the MagSafe port was still more handy, and the Space Gray color shows fingerprints and dirt readily. Yes, the edge chips are easier to spot; - The power life still falls short. Six and a half and a record (constant effort). There isn't much else that comes to mind.
