Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best product, from those that I have viewed, I advise everyone!

I've been using this laptop for a little over a month. The big jump over all the other MacBooks Apple has released so far is the screen, of course. Felt immediately from the first seconds of use. Apple has fixed a very large number of jambs that have been in its laptops lately - this is the return of Magsafe, the SD slot, the departure from the butterfly keyboard, the abandonment of the Touch Bar in favor of full-sized function keys. And of course, this is a very productive laptop that will last for many years to come. So, at this point in time, the impressions from use are the most positive. I rate it 10/10.

Pros
  • 1) Excellent screen quality. miniLED is super technology. The Air on the M1 also has a good screen, but after purchasing an iPad Pro with miniLED technology, I was struck by the difference between the two technologies. As they say: everything is known in comparison. 2) Huge performance margin. 3) Gorgeous keyboard - Apple admitted its mistakes in past generations of MacBooks and abandoned the butterfly keyboard. And also a very convenient trackpad, which completely replaces the mouse (although I have one, I rarely use it. I also consider the removed Touch Bar to be the right decision by Apple. 4) A large set of built-in connectors - finally returned the SD-card slot, and also added HDMI. The connectors are located on both sides - which was so lacking in the Air on the M1. 5) Special thanks for the return of the Magsafe port for charging - this is very convenient in practice. 6) Very fast fingerprint scanner. I think that Face ID is not particularly needed in such a laptop. 7) Enlarged screen - up to 14.2 inches. 8) The aluminum Unibody case is one of the best Apple inventions in the history of the company)) 9) Very good sound quality. 10) Very long battery life despite increased power.
Cons
  • 1) The weight of the laptop has grown. Yes, compared to the latest Air or the younger Pro models of 2022, it is heavier and bulkier, but on the other hand, you quickly get used to it, and the pluses that these additional 300g give are worth it. 2) Apple has not fully taken into account all the little things in terms of software. The bang itself is absolutely not annoying - in everyday use you simply don’t notice it - this hype was inflated by those who did not use this laptop for more or less a long time. But for example, when there are too many icons in the menu bar, those icons that were to the left simply disappear under the bangs and cannot be clicked in any way. In general, this does not spoil life much, a software bug, I hope it will be corrected with new ates. More, personally, I have no complaints about the laptop.
