Review on πŸ’» Apple MacBook Pro 13 Mid 2020 Intel Core i5 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, macOS Silver by Jnis Bisters ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not exactly what I wanted, but basically everything is fine.

Verdict: even though it's a Pro version, in fact, if you don't want to sit in front of a buzzing laptop, this is the best home laptop, plus for entertainment. A toy for entertainment and that's it. For professionals who run several programs at the same time, albeit not the most demanding, this laptop is not suitable. Then take a 15-16 inch MacBook, there are 2 coolers instead of one, it will make less noise, it will also freeze from heating. Steve is not enough at Apple, he would not allow a noisy laptop.

Pros
  • The build quality is perfect, the sound from the speakers is the best among laptops, the screen is almost a reference, again the best I've seen. Slim and nice body, perfect design. My first and now the last poppy)) see below.
Cons
  • I got a brand new MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2022, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) 1.4 GHz i5 10th generation, 16GB RAM, 512GB disk, Big Sur OS. And now comes the interesting part. 1) High and irritating noise: even with a 1080 video open on YouTube, the laptop manages to turn on the fan to the fullest, but if you just start the development environment for java, well, there are a couple of programs on the little things, then the fan rumble starts with high-frequency metallic noise and this is for 170k? My previous hp 840 g7 i5 was just whispering compared to this one and the price difference is almost 2x. 2) Type: ports are dull when I insert and pull out the satechi hub. In which I plugged the power of the laptop, the laptop sometimes does not see either charging or peripherals in a random order. The same thing is observed when I directly insert a sound card into another port, and again in a random order and with a random frequency. Apparently the operating system does not keep up with frequent port connections, which is a drawback. 3) Quite an ordinary keyboard, not a top one: The ons are a little wobbly, there is noise from beating plastic on the notches of the ons, again I find fault, but I compare it with the exact quieter and more elastic hp 840 g7 13 inch keyboard, and no, this is not advertising, this is a surprise towards the poppy. 4) Under load on MacOS, there is a drawdown in animation and delays in the system interface, again on Windows 10, this has never happened with the same usage scenarios on the same hardware hp above. 5) Disgusting fonts on the external display with full hd resolution, again the fault of the software on the poppy, where they implemented font scaling on third-party monitors through the , you need to read a few articles to buy the "right" monitor, otherwise you will contemplate the bold and plasticine font where Windows, which all macovods litter, will do just fine. No dancing with scripts in the terminal with commands for processing fonts did not work.
