Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is really good, I'm glad I purchased it.

Before Macbook Air 2022, I had 4 laptops: Dell Studio 1535 MSI X370 lenovo y410p Macbook Air 2022 I will say right away that in terms of build quality and battery life, the first three laptops are far behind the Macbook Air. Since I need a laptop mainly for surfing, watching videos and connecting to a remote desktop, an ultrabook is fine for me. Before switching to MacOS, I switched from Windows to Linux and was happy for several years. This has been the case for as long as Linux browsers supported Java. When this support ended, I began to think about what to do: go back to Windows, where there is Java support in IE, or try Mac. Decided to buy an inexpensive Macbook Air 2022 and give it a try. I chose 2022, since this laptop did not change much from 2022 to 2022, at least outwardly. I replaced the battery almost immediately. At home, there were ~ 600 cycles and she kept 5-6 hours in my mode. After replacing with the original, it began to hold 9-10 hours. After previous laptops, this was a lot. I had enough for a whole day of work. If not for the outdated screen, I would have worked on 2022. Macbook Air 2022 upset that it holds a charge much less. This is not surprising, because the battery is almost 2 times less capacious. I don’t know how Apple measured it, but I get about 5 hours, while the 2022 model worked 9-10 hours. Also, this model began to warm up. 2022 did not warm up at all, well, at all. After Windows laptops, it was just a fairy tale. Now, when assembling and running in Xcode, the laptop sometimes makes noise and heats up. But again, this is in comparison with the 2022 model. Compared to my Windows/Linux laptops, it is very quiet. But still, if you are for development, I would take a more powerful model. And it's a great device. Enough for my purposes. MacOS is super, I don’t want to return to Windows after this. After Trackpad, I also don’t want to return to the mouse. It turned out to be very convenient. I don't have a PCT model, so Enter is a normal size. Whether it is convenient on the PCT - I do not know.
