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 Wiktor elazny ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A really necessary purchase, I'm glad I found this product.

1. I chose a poppy with a more powerful processor (2.4 GHz) and 2 coolers. It does not make noise at all, I have never heard coolers yet. As far as I understood from the reviews on the model with a 1.4 GHz processor, it heats up much more and makes noise. So I did not regret that I chose the 2.4 GHz version. Before buying, I read that the 1.4 GHz version has only one cooler, which is not enough for cooling. 2. Autonomy is higher than on an average laptop on windows, but not a record one, it is far from air. Hours 6 at loading lives. 3. Bottom line, I am very pleased with the purchase. All the minuses relate to non-everyday interaction with a laptop, so you don’t notice them. In general, working with it brings only positive emotions, since everything that matters in it is excellent: keyboard, screen, trackpad, performance and autonomy. I didn't regret the purchase at all.

Pros
  • 1. Screen, color reproduction at height. 2. Productive and not noisy. 3. Touch bar - something new and interesting and useful. Plus, you can change it to your liking. As a result, I use it a lot more than the F buttons on my old Mac. 4. The trackpad is much larger than the old models, it is a pleasure to use it. 2 degrees pressed, a dictionary is sewn into the 2nd degree, it's convenient. I work at a laptop without a mouse, I don’t need extra peripherals. 5. The keyboard is amazing. The most comfortable of all. Compared to old pre-facelift Macs, this is a whole new level. 6. Nice design
Cons
  • 1. They say the keys can scratch the screen. It worries me. 2. As far as I understand, all programs for flashing the Touch bar using scripts are paid. 3. The apple does not glow like on older models and can be easily scratched. 4. Adapters and adapters are my everything now. It's strange when a phone from a company cannot be connected to a laptop from the same company without extraneous adapters. You can't connect it to a TV either. You need an HDMI to Type-c adapter, and this is a rare and expensive pleasure. The same with flash drives, etc. And this is not very often needed, but it can always be needed.
