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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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

This is my first macOS computer. Very quickly rebuilt on MacOs with Windows (one week. You just need to hold on to it, do work on a macbook more often). I also note that at work I “work on Windows”, and at home on MacOs - and there are no difficulties, my consciousness is quickly rebuilt, I don’t confuse hot keys. MacOS is a very convenient operating system, "for fools" - simple settings, you can use it "out of the box", easy installation of programs. You connect the printer (for which you can no longer find drivers for Windows) to your Macbook - and voila - it finds the driver itself, installs it and immediately - everything is ready for use. The synergy between the Iphone and the MacBook is convenient - read, write SMS messages on the computer, call from the computer, photos from the fotik immediately appear on the laptop, all logins and passwords that the Iphone knows - the MacBook also knows (this is very convenient. The so-called "Keychain" ). I connected it via a type-c adapter - a 4K hdmi monitor - I got the perfect bundle, a beautiful juicy image on a 4K monitor.

Pros
  • The highest image quality; The highest build quality; Amazing keyboard - very comfortable for typing (a bit loud but not obnoxious). Convenient operating system (after use, you will not want to use Windows); There is a synergy when using a MacBook, iPhone and iPad (super convenient); The battery holds a charge for a long time (several days of browsing, watching movies, reading). Light and small-sized (for a long time I chose between 13 and 15 inches. All the same, 15 inches is not transportable, heavy. 13 inches - fits in any backpack, business bag - but back to back . it feels like 15 inches does not fit in any bag). It is very convenient to work on an airplane, in bed, anywhere. TouchID (fingerprint recognition) - very convenient, speeds up work, protects information.
Cons
  • not detected. 13 inches is both a plus and a minus. The screen is still small. You need to connect to a large monitor to do serious work. It is convenient to work "in field conditions" on such a monitor - because psychologically you understand that this is the best possible. Reading books is convenient on a 13-inch monitor - after all, you read books on a tablet, but here the monitor is larger. Another small diagonal of the monitor compensates for the possibility of convenient scaling "fingers". I was afraid that it would crunch and crack - as it was written in some reviews on the 15-inch model . in the end - this was not found (apparently this is not the case in 13-inch models). I rarely use the TouchBar (I only change the volume of the sound, scroll through the pictures, scroll through the video). But I can’t say anything bad about the TouchBar - it doesn’t interfere, it doesn’t distract (I still hope that in the future it will be more usable). Not good enough compatibility of "local office programs" (Page, Keynote, Numbers) - with Word, Excel. The layout of the document is violated, complex formulas do not work. There are constant fears about incompatibility (you have to look through documents on a Windows computer before sending them to other people).
