Feel free to buy, for such a price, the quality is simply amazing.

To this day, I still believe that the configuration of my 16 GB, radeon 5300, and 512 ssd base model is the best possible for a mobile working computer. There will be no more performance hiccups in the future thanks to the availability of flash-drive-sized external nvme-ssds for use with egpu-based video processing. A 6-core, 12-thread i7 processor should serve you well for quite some time. The main drawback of this setup is that you can't add any more agents. However, at this time, 16 GB is more than adequate, while 32 GB will have to wait and will cost a little fortune.

As a result, an unprecedented computer that may be slightly overrated. A gorgeous, compact, potent, and flawlessly functional instrument you can carry everywhere. It's a pleasure to work for this company. Many cheaper alternatives exist for various activities, but I have yet to come across a device that serves as a complete whole without glaring flaws.

Pros

The norm for Apple notebooks: - a display that may be used as a reference and won't strain your eyes or cause glare outside. The battery life is sufficient for an entire workday (eight hours) of continuous use of the Internet, IM, basic photo editing, and multimedia (music, youtube). - size and weight: the screen is massive, yet the device weighs only two kilograms. - adapters and peripherals with port support can be plugged into any of the four type-c ports without worrying about compatibility issues. The touch bar in the newest versions of Mac OS is more than just a novelty; it's a highly adaptable tool that makes everyday tasks easier. The Mac OS is a solid operating system that can be customized (to the point where shortcuts and scripts are worthwhile) and is in sync with other Apple products. Nothing is loose, nothing is falling off, and there are no surprises. When comparing this model to the 2022-2022 version, we find: The new vintage keyboard is notably more comfortable to type on than the previous "butterfly" model. For me, this shift makes it easier to get down to business. I'm speechless; that was an amazing performance. On average, it's 3-5 times faster than the 2022 version when it comes to rendering video. Easily handles dozens of active tabs, IM windows, documents, and spreadsheets while juggling two 4K displays. - enhanced air conditioning. Under load, there is still some noise, though the frequency is lower than it was. It's a really good sound system. There are six of them, and everything is heard clearly and loudly from the top and bottom. Music and movies can be enjoyed without grimacing. Having a dedicated touch ID button and escape key is a nice touch. Additionally, this is the first poppy you will feel completely at ease playing on. All modern games can comfortably output 60 frames per second in full HD at maximum settings (but only if you install Windows; in makosi, the performance of toys is dreadful).

Cons

- Price. It's a cliche to say, but you can find a cheaper alternative to this machine for pretty much any task you need it for (text: $90k for a Macbook Air; games: $60-$70k for a variety of Windows laptops; video editing: the same Imac will come out cheaper, let alone a desktop PC). The already high cost shot upward because of fluctuations in the exchange rate and the shortfall caused by the widespread shift to remote employment. Intense noise when in use. The noise is present, though not as noticeable as it formerly was. If you plan on using it as a stationary with a closed lid and hooking up two monitors, the sound quality will suffer. When using the "looks like 2560x1440" or higher preset format on two 4k displays, you will notice increased fan noise. The poppy shows no signs of slowing down, but the fans indicate that conditions are far from perfect. - Odd software problems: in the very early versions of macOS, users complained about the "crunchy" sound of the speakers when they were muted (a problem that has been fixed in 102022.3). It's annoying because, now, the computer can reboot even while set to sleep (albeit disabling Power Nap helps in the interim). The system's peculiar RAM behavior: "how much you give him, so much he will eat." I contrast it with the version that my friends who overpaid for also own.
