Pros
- I have a version without a touch bar (further TV), 16 Gb RAM, 256 SSD, i5. There is no review or review for developers anywhere, I will write. This is my second MBP, the first was in 2022 (not Retina, 13'') And so the advantages: 1) Stunning, juicy, bright high resolution screen, coding all day is just a pleasure. 2) Good and loud speaker sound (compared to the 2022 model, heaven and earth) 3) Light weight (very convenient, thrown into a backpack and you don’t even notice) 4) Very compact (for 13") 5) In my opinion, the best trackpad on the market (I forgot about the mouse a long time ago) 6) Good performance and more about it right away: There is a working machine (laptop on Windows) i7 8th generation 16 gb RAM, GeeForce 1060, and so, mac builds (gradle) java project faster than ~30 seconds. Reason 2: optimizing apple + *nix system. If you put the same Ubuntu instead of Windows, the results for ubuntu are, of course, already an order of magnitude better than for Windows, but not much better than for mac (~5-10 seconds difference in favor of Ubuntu). 7) The keyboard is generally good, with all my initial pessimism about the butterfly, I really began to type faster. 8) The backlighting of the keyboard is pleasant and I don’t want to gouge my eyes out (I compare this with gaming laptops, which are most often taken because of high performance with their RED backlight)
Cons
- 1) The keyboard is noisy, but you get used to it. 2) The keyboard is not reliable, but it seems that a can of purge gas will make you happy again, personally with me, for 3 months of active clattering on the keyboard, until there was no sticking. 3) The version without TB still has few ports, all two, after 3 months I already began to understand this, but the physical F-keyboard was more important for me at the time of purchase. 4) All the same, 2 physical cores are already not enough in 2k18-2k19, if you need a machine for research, large calculations, you need multithreading, and you need it on a local machine, then all the same I would recommend the version of 2022 or newer. 5) Adapters will now be lying around in every corner (at work, at home, with you)%), and when you watch a Mac, right away, no, IMMEDIATELY budget the cost of USB adapters and other peripherals in order to could work fine on it. 6) Now they don’t put an extension cord for the charger and a rag for the display in the box, which really upset me, I almost let a tear go, it’s good that I left both the extension cord and the rag from the old poppy. 7) The Type-C cable (which is charging) in the kit is not intended for data transfer (rather a fact than a drawback) 8) Price. Here the moment is of course debatable, but one way or another the MBR has become more expensive (we look at everything in $), but you can’t say that you will have a top-end stuffing. Yes, there is optimization, yes * nix, yes the hardware is good. But where is the attention to detail? This is me talking about 2 ports in the version without TV, so Apple wants to poke into the fact that you are a rogue? And if I need a normal keyboard and TV is not needed? Why can't you put an adapter, at least one just for USB, immediately in the kit? The laptop becomes more expensive, the equipment becomes poorer.
Pros
- Good quality laptop. Works smart.
Cons
- Cannot increase RAM
Pros
- 1) stylish look 2) long battery life 3) system stability 4) gesture control
Cons
- 1. Price 2. Only 2 ports, and type-c (decided by purchasing an adapter)
Pros
- The build quality is beyond praise. Compact size and light weight. The screen is just space! Even next to a large 4K display, it does not lose at all. USB-C (Yes, yes - this is a plus). The speakers are really loud and good quality. Not expected. If you do not load much, then it works very quietly.
Cons
- TouchBar not impressed. At all. No way. When I read the reviews, I thought it was all lies. But having bought a MacBook, I realized that using the touch bar is really inconvenient. The problem is that if you own touch typing, then your eyes are constantly on the screen. And it is simply inconvenient to transfer it to the keyboard. Most of the time I don't even remember that I have some kind of graphic strip with buttons. But Touch ID, on the contrary, pleased me, the thing is convenient.
Pros
- Lightweight, great display
Cons
- Keyboard clicks when heated, infernal rumble and heating when working in heavy programs, keyboard traces on the display
Pros
- Sound! - test in the store, go nuts! Screen - no comments needed OS - smooth and pleasant, but you have to get used to it if you have been sitting on Windows all your life (like me) Assembly - nothing creaks, does not play. The lid opens with one hand, but not as easily as I imagined. Trackpad and gestures - very comfortable Characteristics - very fast computer, but used little other than surfing. I've only played hearthstone. Pulls to the max. Ecosystem - convenient to use several different devices from Apple. Battery - This is the first time I've had a laptop run this long without a charge.
Cons
- Battery - although the laptop works for a long time. Still, I expected a little more autonomy. Ports - I would like to have where to stick a regular mouse. Sometimes it is very necessary. I tried to find something other than Magic Mouse with type c, but so far the search has been fruitless.
Pros
- I am writing in comparison with the Macbook Air 13 of 2022, which I have been using for three years. The biggest plus is of course the Retina screen, it's divine. On this The advantages of this device are over, to my great regret.
Cons
- But there are a lot of minuses, for such a price (90 thousand). In general, I will say that this line (from 2022) is very unsuccessful: 1. The body itself. Bought in Space grey. Very easily soiled and prone to chips and scratches. I never got used to the general design, I really missed that apple. 2. Alas, performance. When buying a laptop for 100k, you expect something else, it certainly works smoothly, but it’s no longer suitable for serious tasks. The power is almost the same as the 2022 Air. There is no stock. 3. Connectors. There are no comments here, just a mockery. 4. The keyboard with its sticking. There are many marriages. And the new "butterfly" did not work for me. Alas. 5. THE BIGGEST MINUS - AUTONOMY. You can get used to the rest of the minuses somehow or even close your eyes, but the battery life is SHOCK. They have reduced the battery compared to the 2022 model! CHARLES! 4800mAh what is it? Who needs this compact device if it asks for recharging after 5 hours?! You can’t really take it anywhere, and Final Cut will kill it in two hours. Sorry, this is not forgivable. 6. Considering all the nuances, even the most basic version does not cost 90 thousand. No way. 70 maybe.
Pros
- - mobility - lightness - work speed - no problems with software and applications for work - if you need non-free programs, then you can find a solution to this problem in the information network
Cons
- - it heats up straight wow (in winter you can warm your feet on it with a high load on the system) - one fan is still not enough for him to keep him warm - if you work directly with heavy programs that are demanding on the operative. The laptop will cope, but you will have the feeling that you have loaded it to the limit and that 8 GB is still not enough (it will not slow down), 10-16 GB would definitely be enough))
Pros
- Model without touchbar 13", 8GB RAM, 256GB ssd. 1) build quality - fly away, you rarely see such a product. The laptop itself is light and compact, even smaller than the MacBook Air. 2) screen - no glare, VERY bright, perfect color reproduction (bonus for photographers). The resolution is also just right, 4K at 13 inches is a completely unnecessary thing. 3) the speakers for such a compact laptop are excellent, no complaints. 4) the touchpad is perfect, in this regard, Apple has no competitors. 5) keyboard - large keys, each key has its own LED, so the backlight is uniform. For touch typing, it is the most. I noticed that those who are used to hitting the keys when typing do not like the keyboard)) But the advantage of this keyboard is that a light press is enough. So, if you get used to it, then the typing speed is greatly increased compared to the "normal" keyboard. 6) performance is also great. Take a model with i5-7360u (2.3-3.6 GHz), this is an ideal option in terms of price / quality ratio. You should not consider modification with i7, the performance increase is a maximum of 10%, it will heat up even more, and the increase in cost is enormous. It is better to take 16GB of RAM, it will not be possible to add it later. By the way, you can change the SSD in the model without a touchbar yourself, but the price for them is still inadequate . 8) Battery life (under certain conditions) + the ability to charge from power banks! By the way, in the model without a touchbar, the battery capacity is higher. 9) macOS - buying Apple equipment, you get high-quality software and a stable operating system. If desired, you can install Windows as a second system without any problems.
Cons
- 1) it would be worth putting at least 3 usb-c ports into a model without a touchbar, two can be occupied by a monitor and an external hard drive, but where to charge then? 2) small keys "up" and "down", sometimes I miss. 3) under serious and prolonged loads, it gets very hot. It is solved by replacing the native thermal paste or buying a cooling pad. 4) The bundled usb-c cable only supports usb 2.0. How so?! Those. for normal data transfer you will have to buy a separate cable. 5) really easily soiled screen surface 6) unlike the model with a touchbar, in this version there is only one cooler, a slightly "weaker" wifi module, two microphones instead of three and a not so productive graphics core.
