A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

I have the most basic version, which has 16 gigabytes of memory, a radeon 5300 graphics card, and 512 gigabytes of solid state storage. I believe that the configuration for a mobile working device is now optimal by a significant margin. The memory may be enlarged with an external nvme-ssd the size of a flash drive, which is finally becoming available, and the graphics processing can be offloaded to an egpu if needed. This will allow any and all future bottlenecks to be avoided. The longevity of an Intel i7 processor with 6 cores and 12 threads should be very high. Of course, you won't be able to add operatives because that's the only thing the configuration lacks. However, at this time, 16 gigabytes is plenty, while 32 gigabytes is not only unavailable but also prohibitively expensive.

The end result is a computer that, despite being slightly overrated, is nonetheless incomparable to any other. A stunningly simple yet powerful and versatile working instrument that may be carried at all times. It is a joy to contribute to this cause. There are many cheaper alternatives available for a variety of activities, but I have not come across a gadget that fulfills all of its functions without any glaring flaws.

Pros

The tried-and-true formula for Apple laptops: - a reference screen that does not cause eye strain and does not reflect light when viewed in direct sunlight. - battery life sufficient for an eight-hour workday, including active use of the Internet, instant messengers, basic photo processing, and multimedia (music, YouTube). - remarkable power in a device that weighs only two kilograms and has a screen that is enormous form factor. - the ease of attaching various peripherals (four type-c ports are comparable, so you can connect adapters and peripherals with port support to any one of them). - The utility of the touch bar has been substantially expanded in the most recent versions of Mac OS, and it is now not only a wow toy but rather a functioning tool that is actually facilitating and can be customized in a wide variety of ways. - The Mac OS operating system itself works wonderfully, can be personalized (which is worth at least properly calibrated shortcuts and scripts), and can synchronize with other products that are part of the Apple ecosystem. There is nothing loose, nothing that could fall off, and nothing that could be an unpleasant surprise. When compared to model number 15 2022-2022, this particular model is as follows: - The "new old" keyboard is noticeably softer, and it does not encounter the issues that were present with the "butterfly" keyboard. In my own experience, I've found that working on it makes me feel much more at ease. - such an amazing performance. When rendering films, it is typically three to five times faster than the model of 2022. Easily maneuvers two 4k displays without using any breaks, while having dozens of tabs, instant messengers, papers, and spreadsheets open at the same time. - A revised and improved cooling system. Even if there is noise when the system is under strain, the frequency of the noise itself is lower than it was previously, which means that it is not nearly as annoying. - really good quality. There are six speakers, and all of them may be heard clearly, loudly, and with no muddle. You are not required to frown when engaging in activities such as listening to music or watching movies. It is really helpful to have a touch ID button that is different from the esc button. Additionally, this is the first poppy that you will be able to play very comfortably on. You have to install Windows in order for the performance of toys in makosi to be acceptable, but all modern games can easily produce 60 frames per second when played in full HD with maximum settings.

Cons

- Price. It may sound obvious, but you can find a cheaper alternative to nearly each activity that this computer is designed to perform (text - Macbook Air for 90 thousand dollars, games - a broad selection of laptops on Windows, starting from 60-70 thousand dollars, video editing - the same Imac will come out cheaper, not to mention stationary PC). The price, which was already relatively high, surged due to variations in the currency rate and the deficit caused by the vast move to remote labor, which contributed to the deficit. - Noisy under load. The sound is definitely present, despite the fact that it is not nearly as obnoxious as it once was. You should be aware that the sound quality may suffer if you use it as a stationary device with the lid closed and connect it to two displays if you intend to use it in this manner. Additionally, you will hear the rustling of the fan more frequently, particularly if you connect two 4k monitors and select the format that "looks like 2560x1440" or a higher setting format. While all is going on, the poppy shows no signs of slowing down, but judging by the fans, the temperatures are not even close to being optimum. - Weird software problems: in the very first versions of macOS, users complained about the "crunchy" sound that the speakers made when they were turned off (this problem has been fixed from version 102022.3). It is now quite frustrating because the machine can restart itself when it is in sleep mode (until the issue is resolved, turning off Power Nap will help). It's a strange way for the system to function with RAM, but it seems that "how much you give him, so much he will eat." I contrast this with fellow soldiers who overspent for the version that had 32 gigabytes.
