Review on Renewed Apple 13in MacBook Pro with Retina Display and Touch Bar – 3.1GHz Intel Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Space Gray by Micha Kamierczak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

There was a moment when I corrected the code, holding the laptop on one hand, and the second correcting the code. And the poppy allowed it to be done without problems. The old laptop (asus zenbook ux32) forced me to at least connect a mouse and it would be desirable to have a second monitor, otherwise it would be impossible to work on it, and even more so to show such miracles of balancing act. Now I understand why people write laudatory reviews for poppies and don’t even look at anything else. From the outside it is very difficult to understand.

Pros
  • I use a laptop every day (developer) and every day it is a delight. Before that, all laptops were on Windows and I doubted very much whether it was worth taking a poppy. We were considering dell xps 13, asus zenbook ux 391, lenovo carbon x1, all of which are also quite expensive. Undoubted advantages for me: Autonomy is my first laptop with which you don’t think how many percent of the charge is left. If you disconnect it from charging, it is guaranteed to let it work for at least 5 hours, while not dropping the frequency and not slowing down, but I didn’t sit anymore, that is, until there was a situation when he sat down at the wrong moment. I don’t even get the charger at home, because I’m 100% sure that it will be possible to sit behind it all evening and not worry about the charge. Screen - allows you to display texts in such a way that your eyes do not get tired of working only behind it. Keyboard - works clearly and pleasantly. The trackpad is generally something, I immediately forgot about the mouse. Gestures, tactile response and the response of programs to it - it feels like everything is a single whole. The thoughtfulness of the system - everything is focused on the fact that you just work and do not think about all kinds of settings. Getting out of sleep is just a song, the old laptop on Windows came out long and hard, as if every time it loaded everything back. This one wakes up instantly and there are no friezes in the first minutes after waking up. With all this, it still always works quietly, that is, you hear the cooler only on heavy tasks, the rest of the time it does not even turn on. I note that the first week - two, especially after switching from Windows, there will be a slight shock, since everything is different here, even the set of programs, it seems that there is nothing. But then, after trials, you select a specific pool of programs for yourself that covers all tasks, and then you just work. As a result, a laptop is more convenient for development than a laptop on Windows, since the system is closer to Linux. I always evaluate things for myself according to the criterion "would I buy again, raise the question again"? My answer is yes, I would.
Cons
  • If only the price, but after the purchase you understand what you paid for. Plus, if you need a second monitor for development, then you should immediately aim to buy a 4k monitor (costs around 30 now), but it can be used with any laptop
