Perfect product for any user!

Before buying, I compared other options, but settled on MPTV2 / RU, especially at the time of purchase, the difference with the lowest prices of gray supplies was insignificant. By the way, the Silver version is not as easily soiled as Space Gray, but the color is a matter of taste. As for the adapters, I took Ali for 40-50in quality no worse than the counterparts in Hong Kong for 300-400, I also bought a 32 GB USB flash drive for USB-C / USB-3.1, but in fact I only use the mouse and flash drive, everything else via DLNA with a physical connection via NAS. I bought a laptop under Windows. I use specialized programs that are not and will not be under MacOS. Faced such a moment under Windows, it is impossible to do anything with the disk (split into parts, change ID even through third-party programs), although in earlier versions it is possible, as far as I figured it out due to MacOS security. Who knows, tell me how you can change the disk ID under Windows or change something in MacOS when formatting partitions, since when some programs are activated, they bind to the ID?

Pros
  • Powerful, light, fast, quiet, build quality, bright screen, but the best part is the design. You get used to this configuration very quickly, you don’t want to switch to other options later. With such an internal configuration, thickness, ergonomics and design, there are simply no analogues.
Cons
  • Charging problems are not always clear why it is heavily discharged even when turned off, the volume and battery life are reduced compared to previous models. Also with fans, when the computer is not loaded, they turn on randomly and make a little noise. The keyboard has become better, but it strains to click when pressed (it hasn't stuck yet). The trackpad is too big, when typing sometimes touches the hand and flies the cursor. No charging indicator. Not enough memory for 16 GB for 2022, we need versions of 32 GB and more. I was surprised by the disk volume discrepancy on MacOS showing 512 GB, and on Windows only 480 GB, as Apple support stated, this is normal because they have a decimal system.

Got pros: Powerful, quiet and very comfortable Its cons: The keyboard on all PRO 2022-2022 years is a big failure. In a year, a maximum of two, the keys will start to fly out. The problem has been corrected in later models.
