Review on 13-Inch Apple MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD Storage in Space Gray - Previous Model by Jnis Labucis ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

What did I pay for? The product is a complete failure.

The main conclusion is the most unfortunate creation of Apple. Considering the cost. I paid about 160 and as a result, the machine is less convenient, less reliable than air 2022. the first time after moving from the air, my eyes hurt wildly. Now, a few months later, they seem to be used to it. There is NO real difference between retina and non-retina - in normal office work. Do not fall for beautiful words if you are not an artist.

Pros
  • comfortable keyboard small key travel traditional for poppies convenient touchpad
Cons
  • This is the worst of all my (quite numerous) purchases from Apple. 1) The upper touchpad constantly works on half-touches (I type numbers, the finger just a little gets near (exactly next to, and not on) the touchpad - and some button works there. It always looks very unexpected: you type text in the browser, suddenly - you ended up in a completely different browser window. how? And it turns out that in the upper touchpad there was a context menu and there were buttons for moving through different tabs of the browser, and when I typed numbers (which are close to the touchpad) - the excessive sensitivity of the touchpad led trigger one of the context buttons). 2) Working time. I understood that it would decrease compared to my previous air, but not as much . Air 2022 kept the battery in the region of 7-8 hours steadily. Proshka is worth 160 - does not hold even 5 hours. And often even less. Now I'm used to the fact that again you have to always carry the power supply with you. 3) The absence of at least one normal USB port is wildly inconvenient. Plug in a flash drive? No! Charge the phone? Also no. Yes, there are adapters . but who prevented you from making at least one standard USB? When buying, I did not think that it would be so inconvenient in everyday life. 4) Maybe something is wrong with my copy, but this Apple miracle hangs once a day, once every two days (this was not the case with Macboom Air at all!) - then the keyboard stops working, then everything freezes, then calling Contunuity on the phone in the upper right corner will not leave the screen. Officially purchased Microsoft Excel crashes with enviable regularity with data loss. Considering that on the previous air there was exactly the same system and nothing fell - I'm already sinning on the hardware part of the firmware.
