Revainrating 5 out of 5

I definitely recommend buying, I didnt notice any disadvantages.

I took a laptop for surfing, editing texts, managing a home server and all sorts of little things, for serious tasks there was a desktop on Win. I chose more than a month, reviewed a bunch of different laptops on Vin, but I was constantly drawn to Mac, there is some kind of magic in it, others simply faded against its background, and I really wanted to try mac os. You take the Mac in your hands and you feel that the people who created it put their soul into it! How well everything is thought out and beautiful, nothing superfluous and everything in its place. Amazing touchpad, it can do everything, it's more than a mouse! Getting used to was not fast, after 15 years for Win, but it didnโ€™t cause much discomfort, after a month the opposite effect started, I started to forget keyboard shortcuts in Win)) I found absolutely all programs, I was a little upset because of the lack of a full-fledged notepad ++ for Mac, but there are good ones analogues. I really liked how the color profiles are implemented, the selected one is automatically installed depending on the connected source, I calibrated everything once and forgot it. I did not expect such power from him (I have the simplest one with 4 GB PCT), it is much faster than my 4-core desktop on Win 7 with 8 GB of memory at 1600 MHz and ssd from Corsair! Now about the shortcomings, they are unfortunately present. My Mac was never able to make friends with a 2.4 GHz router, it connected to wifi for a very long time (sometimes it didnโ€™t connect automatically at all) periodically on waking up and always on waking up with bluetooth turned on, though after the connection it worked flawlessly, the router is 3 years old and never had such problems Happened with none of the devices. I decided 100% by buying a 5 GHz router and shamanism with channels, I think Airport would work out of the box without problems, but I didnโ€™t want to lose the torrent client. And the second, present to this day, does not ask for a password after a specified time, and the longer the interval, the less likely it is that a password will be requested. Otherwise, Mac pleases its owner to this day. If you are not strongly attached to Vin, I strongly advise you to buy!

Pros
  • Design; Screen; Build quality; Battery;
Cons
  • I did not find any serious ones, but here are the 2 most annoying, in other matters, one of them decided: WiFi conflicts with bluetooth when working from a 2.4 GHz router; Doesn't always ask for a password after the specified time has elapsed; With the last 04/26/14, the second problem has also gone, now it always asks for a password, as it should, apparently they read my review))
