Review on 13-Inch Apple MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD Storage in Space Gray - Previous Model by Adam Walendzik ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

At half strength, I use my laptop for everything from the web to conversations to YouTube to composing texts. The item I bought was exactly what I needed. If you pick reputable rivals, they won't be any less expensive, and may even end up costing you more. I stopped using removable media years ago in favor of cloud storage (in particular, and Mile), so I never have to worry about a port breaking. If portability is a must and you need only one laptop for work, this one is fine.

Pros
  • The screen is the key benefit, with superior resolution, pixel density, and aspect ratio (16/10). Text does not turn into "soap" when the scale is adjusted, as it does on laptops with a resolution of 1080, demonstrating excellent implementation of scaling (particularly in safari, the setting travels to each site individually). The screen's comfort is on par with that of a 15-inch Windows laptop; I find that I have less eye strain when using it (I increase the font size by between 10 and 15 percent on practically all of my most frequently visited websites). Silver was chosen because it hides dirt and scratches rather well. Battery life is exactly 10 hours when in typewriter mode, 8 hours when the browser is connected intermittently, and 5-6 hours when actively watching videos on YouTube. Calm, I rarely use my laptop to its capacity, and I can't even hear the fans. The keyboard is soft and the trackpad works wonderfully. After being impressed by the trackpad's vibration feedback on my Mac, I decided to give the newest pro model a try. This has happened multiple times, and each time a restart of the machine has resolved the issue, so it's not a defect in the OS. After a recent ate to a new operating system with an ated file system, everything booted up without a hitch.
Cons
  • Rapid screen contamination is a problem. It's uncomfortable to work for long periods of time when my knees are still warm. MacOS . Unfortunately, Windows had its own allure that I just couldn't resist. Kotska and dust will likely be very noticeable to anyone who purchased a gray model. The headphones have a death hold on the 3.5 mm jack and are extremely difficult to remove. There was one major downside I couldn't forget. Whether this is the case for everyone or just me, there is a significant lag time whenever I use Skype or Viber to communicate. I'm stuck using an old iPhone 5s. And in the year 2022, for a laptop to have such a flaw seems odd. This wasn't an issue with the last one.
