Review on Apple MacBook 13 Inch 2 3GHz 256GB by Stanislaw Gorka ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

So, before that I used MBP 17 "Mid 2022, then MBP 13" Retina Late 2022 (the most unfortunate model, in my opinion), then I spent a couple of years without a laptop and bought this device in early April. I deliberately took the version with the Touch Bar for the following reasons: 1) TouchID; 2) Faster SSD; 3) More ports; 4) Availability of a 512 GB version in Hong Kong (without a touchbar, only on order); However, I have not "tasted" the Touch Bar itself: a relatively useless thing if you type blindly and know all the hotkeys. Why didn't I take 15 "? Because I need a more compact size, and I have enough performance. The lack of USB-A was not included in the shortcomings for the following reason: if you had already bought this laptop, you knew what you were doing and understood that sometimes you would have to use an adapter (although this does not cause much inconvenience) or buy the same flash drive with a double connector. In general, I liked the laptop, but I liked the old version of the memory more, it’s a pity that they didn’t make some kind of MagSafe 3 the size of USB-C. For those who use Apple Watch and do not need more ports and memory, it is better to take the version without a touch bar. P. Whoever thinks it's better to buy Xiaomi, which is "2 times better and 2 times cheaper", good luck, but personally I'm not interested in this path. But I will not argue - how many people, so many opinions. Choose with your head and enjoy the purchase.

Pros
  • - Excellent screen; — Small weight, compactness and general convenience; — Trackpad, it's just gorgeous; - Good performance for such a small device; - A design that does not make you want to cry or gouge out your eyes; — The sound is just wonderful; - You can use it out of the box without crutches and dancing with a tambourine, unlike some brands; - Convenient for those who are in the Apple ecosystem.
Cons
  • - MagSafe was still more convenient; - The card reader was removed in vain; - The Space Gray color is quite easily soiled, so either wash your hands / wipe the laptop more often, or buy a silver one. Oh yes, the chips on the edges are more noticeable; - The battery life still does not shine. 6-6.5 hours record (continuous work, of course). I probably can't name anything else.
