The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

The MacBook that everyone who bought pro 13 and 15 2022-2022 deserved
Macbook, which is deserved by everyone who sometimes wanted to play on it under Windows.
I bought for 150 from my hands with a Turkish keyboard. Mac is 1.5 months old.

I experienced such pleasure only from the macbook air 2022. Yes, there were 128 ssds, but the sensations themselves, the performance is enough, the machine only brings joy. Everything works as it should. But the screen was terrible. After looking at retina 15, I realized that there is no more life on calamus.
After this calamus, Apple seemed to have a dark streak.

Proshkam 13 2022 just terribly lacked intel 4000 to drive a retina screen (there was such a computer)
firmware 15 2022 - dead pixels, residual images on the screen (also had).

The oasis was the 2022 firmware on the more recent Haswell, which lasted 8-9 hours on battery and were quite balanced. was AIR 2022 and PRO 15 2022

Sat on the last one for 2 years.

Then there was a crisis, proshka 15 was sold and air 2022 11 i7 was taken (that was a boiler! I passed in horror after six months and took pro 13 2022)

since 2022 (had 13 2022 and 13 2022) keyboards, etc.
(although my keyboards worked on both beeches, but by the way I use a folding stand so that my neck and external keyboard do not hurt)

I saw 16. read the reviews and realized - this is it!
My friend for the next 3-4 years. 1TB is enough even for installation. + external ssd, cpu and gpu too.
I was waiting for a good price, and by the grace of the Almighty, I found it.
I read the reviews, at first I was scared that under Windows 5500 it does not work fully, but as always, reddit and YouTube helped.

All shortcomings, ready to forgive him.

A few tips: under bootcamp, install the driver from the site (there is specifically for the MacBook 16) bootcampdrivers. Com - performance in games is twice as high.

Don't use chrome while running on battery power. On macOS, it eats up resources, safari is much better optimized. Yes, this is a crutch, but it will always be like this until Google programmers start optimizing chrome and sell our big data (never)

Pros

- performance in macOS and Windows - performance in games with the correct Windows driver. More about this driver below. Forza horizon 4 example in 4k! produces 35-40 frames! Jedi: Fallen order at 2.5k produces 40-50 frames! That is, in addition to a working tool, you also have a console in your bag (the detail in these resolutions is much better than the current generation of consoles. The Nintendo wiiu emulator also pulls - breath of the wild in 1080p looks much better than switch on a TV. - battery, especially after pro 13 2022 i5 - keyboard and screen cable, which, I hope, will work for 5 years as it was before the 2022 generation - made thicker, but shoved the largest possible battery. no longer available by US air travel standards, thanks so much, (thanks to Joni for keeping it thin, but we vote for a bigger battery) - screen, bezels, first time in a long time since the disappearance of the macbook 17 there is enough screen size for everything when there is no second monitor nearby -sound! Wow. connected a subwoofer, made a device in the midi control panel, plays without delay in the built-in speakers + external bass speaker. even for my sophisticated taste plays more than worthy. - cooling system, under macos does not throttl!

Cons

-screen response time of some instances is not suitable for games (I have ok) - there are traces of the keyboard on the screen (the issue is solved with a film on the screen) - Macos runs a kernel-task for cooling, which is why I couldn’t squeeze more than 7 hours of work out of it (brightness is about 200 nits, Turbo Boost disabled, the browser is only Safari + a little. whatsap (WhatsApp is another data collector that eats 10% i9 :) - the latest versions of macOS are not as polished as in the days of 10.8 mountain lion - I'm on beta, the quality is slightly higher than that of releases, but still, that stability has long been gone. - programmers have relaxed, computers have a lot of resources, no more need to optimize the code - No Steve to drive them with sticks. - by the way, after removing the excess from osx, it still flies, but is already used to iCloud and other innovations. (there is a topic on w3bsit3-dns. Com) -still useless touchbar (why? !) - It heats up in idle time with a monitor connected via displayport, and drives the radeon 5500 - it is solved by disabling Turbo Boost, the radeon does not stop running, but it becomes much cooler. -it's time to make 32 gigs of RAM in stock for a more expensive model with i9 - Bolshevik, but this is about all 15shki. get on the plane - it's not about him. (only if there is no passenger nearby, he can fit on the table next to him, but not on his own) - heavy!
