Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

This laptop will take the place of two other laptops that were purchased. Macbook Air 11 inches 12 years ago with 4 gb ram, core i5, and ssd 64 gb in comparison to dns extreme (aka clevo p170em) 17 inches with core i7, 16 gb ram, ssd 256 gb, and hdd 1 tb in storage capacity. The performance of the first laptop, an old screen, and the second laptop's complete inability to move around were the primary sources of the problem. The Mac served the same purpose as a home laptop, and there were occasions when it functioned from there even when I wasn't at the office. On the other hand, there was a working laptop at the office, but because of its size, it was awkward to carry it home. Therefore, the objective was to find a powerful solution that was portable at the same time. The only thing of which I could be certain was that purchasing a poppy rather than Windows would be an appropriate remedy to the issue. And not because Apple is Apple, but at least because of the need to reinstall Windows every two to three years and search for drivers, the system lives on a poppy for years without problems, and if suddenly there is a need to reinstall, then this is all done literally in three clicks, and all the drivers are installed themselves. And not because Apple is Apple, but because of the need to reinstall Windows every two to three years and search for drivers. I won't go into detail about all of the other differences between Windows and Mac here; all I'll say is that I've made up my mind on which operating system to use for my own computer. However, the choice of form factor provoked some thought in me. At first, I aimed for an ated 13 inches (but I had to settle for 14 inches). In spite of this, the rate of expansion of the dollar had to be estimated more quickly, and as a result, I chose to purchase a Macbook Pro in the 16-inch size. My primary responsibilities include working with websites, using a variety of applications to perform site analysis, and producing videos using final cut pro. I also work on YouTube. The laptop not only met but also surpassed all of my expectations in terms of performance. When it comes to speed, everything moves at a breakneck pace; the same image that I drew on air for an hour and a half takes only seven to ten minutes to render here. Since I only travel by vehicle, the laptop's weight is irrelevant to me; the important thing is everything that comes in the Xiaomi business backpack. Now the laptop is both mobile and powerful for me; since I only travel by car, its weight is irrelevant. The laptop offers the highest possible level of usability satisfaction. When compared to the 27-inch full-high-definition screen, the 16-inch 3k display proved to be easier to work with.

Pros
  • 1) Power, in comparison to my previous laptop, which had a core i7 processor, 16 gigabytes of RAM, and 256 gigabytes of solid-state storage, the boost in power provided by this one is really noticeable. 2) Outstanding display; if you have never worked on a screen with a resolution higher than 1920 by 1080, you are in for a pleasant surprise here. 3) The sound quality is comparable to that of the JBL Charge 3, with the obvious exception of the loudness level. 4) Touchbar. As someone who has previously just used these keys on a poppy to adjust the volume and brightness, I can now say that everything is just as convenient, and you can even put keyboard shortcuts there. For instance, the screen lock button on the touchbar is convenient for me because it is located in a comfortable location. 5) Autonomy, yes, indeed, in everyday operations such as a browser and Word with Excel, the laptop will live for 7 hours; my old laptop, which did not have access to an outlet in better times, did not live for more than an hour, and my current laptop does not live for more than 5 minutes) 6) Dimensions, but with such power, the dimensions are extremely tiny, the weight is also bearable, I put the laptop in a backpack, a backpack in the car, everything is very convenient. Dimensions, but with such power, the dimensions are very small. 7) The keyboard, I can't claim that it has changed in comparison to the keyboard on the MacBook Air from 2022 because I didn't really see the difference and the keyboard fulfills all of my requirements. 8) In terms of its appearance, the laptop does have a pretty great look to it. 9) The process of using Airdrop has gotten significantly more efficient. I frequently record short films for YouTube on an iPhone, and it is now quite straightforward to throw them on a MacBook without the need for cords. 10). In comparison to a MacBook from 12 years ago, the trackpad on this model is significantly larger and more responsive. 11) USB-C may be charged from both sides simultaneously. When you are unsure of which side the outlet is on, having this option is incredibly convenient. 12) The microphone can be plugged into the headphone input; however, in 2022, the MacBook did not identify the microphone when it was plugged onto this input; it only recognized the headphones. 13) USB power supply with, in which case you will just need to change the cable and not the power supply itself. 14) The Bluetooth connection is far more reliable than it was with my 12-year-old Macbook Air.
Cons
  • 1) Clicks of the speakers, yeah, I saw different thoughts on this topic on the Internet, but the clicks are just constant; it clicks 20-30 times in the evening. I saw different opinions on this subject on the Internet. They claim that it is a software issue, but Apple has never been able to correct anything. 2) Once again, this appears to be a software bug; if you shut down your laptop for the night, you may find that when you turn it on in the morning, it is in a restarted condition with an error message about a system crash. Catalina 15.4 reported seeing this, but 15.1 said they were unaware of it. And during that same 12-year period, nothing of the sort ever occurred with the MacBook Air. 3) A screen that is very easily soiled, opening the screen causes fingerprints to linger on the screen, they could put some sort of cloth over the screen, but because the screen around the perimeter is glass, it is hard to open the lid without smearing the screen. 07/24/2022 Regardless of how flawless this process could have been, after one year and one week, the motherboard failed, and the laptop entered an unending reboot loop while experiencing a kernel panic. It is to one's satisfaction that the law will mandate a two-year warranty in 2022, which means that the price will remain at 30,000 dollars. Aside from that, the laptop hasn't received any negative feedback. Everything else across all operating systems, without exception; these are freezes of various programs and so on; there is no improvement and no regression.
