Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

ated from macbook pro 13 2022, working with web development, photoshop, virtual machines and office tasks. The old machine was already heavily pulling the compilation of projects and external monitors. I chose between MBP 16 and MBP 13. The choice fell on the latter, since 13 is still much more portable, you can comfortably work on your knees, in a car, carry it in a small backpack, and connect it to a large monitor at home and at work. 16 heavy, with two fingers in the open state you won’t lift it, and it will be uncomfortable hot on your knees (judging by the reviews) Unless you're looking for super portability, the MacBook Pro 16 will outperform almost everything for a relatively small premium. Plus, due to a discrete video card, it will be possible to play games under bootcamp and work with video editing. When a 4k monitor is connected at 60 Hz, the coolers are not audible, the maximum rises to 3000 rpm, usually 1200-1500. Simultaneous playback of youtube 1080p, VScode with compilation to save the file (webpack, sass, pug, gulp), sketch / figma / psd, a browser with a bunch of bookmarks, webgl, a bunch of instant messengers and email clients. Sometimes running windows in virtualbox. Everything pulls without the slightest hint of brakes. The processor is loaded within 25-40%, the video card is 25-50% (iStats) A fast 16Gb RAM is just right for my tasks, even with the Virtualbox virtual machine running. For programmers, this is usually a bottleneck. There is an iMac for comparison with 32Gb 2022, I didn’t notice a difference in speed, everything is also fast.

Pros
  • New hardware on 10th generation intel, fast ssd, lpddr4x, good cooling, no throttling Performance is enough for most tasks (if you are not a video editor or 3D designer) The keyboard is excellent, the accepted sound of the keys on which you just want to press Supports 4k monitors without noticeable system load The sound is deep, sags at low (bass), but the vocals are very, very worthy The screen is in the best traditions of apple, super clear PPI, no PWM, color accuracy, adjustment to lighting, you can work for days without strain on your eyes, but this is more likely a plus for all poppies, and not this particular macbook
Cons
  • Only thunderbolt 3 (usb-c) ports cause problems in the initial stages, especially if you are from the usb 2 era, you need to spend enough time and money to deal with dongles and adapters An old design that has not been ated for many years, I would like to see 14 inches with the same dimensions and thin display frames as they did on mbp 16 No apple highlight, no magsafe (for those who mbp before 2022)
