Pros
- 1) Body. The impeccable quality of external materials and the manufacturing itself, there is nothing to complain about. Absolutely silent for the most part thanks to the SSD. A cold start of the system takes 12 seconds. 2) Screen. Fairy. You look at the image as if it were a printed photograph. There is a light sensor that regulates the backlight. I am an opponent of touch screens on full-fledged laptops (not "transformers"). Fortunately, Apple does not and hopefully does not plan to equip laptops with this feature. 3) Management. Comfortable keyboard with nice adjustable backlight. You can spend hours writing odes to the trackpad. It feels like you are moving your fingers across the tablet screen, everything is so convenient and responsive. 4) Sound. Clear and bassy. Large margin of volume. Wide frequency range. Subjectively, the best that I have heard on all other laptops before it. 5) Autonomy. The operating time after laptops on Windows is amazing. All thanks to Mac OS optimization. The good news is that after unpacking and first switching on, you need a minimum of settings. Already "out of the box" there is all the necessary software, almost nothing more. At first I thought to put Windows on it through BootCamp, but now I don’t see the point. The main advantage of Apple computers is the extremely high liquidity in the secondary market. If you buy a MacBook Pro now for +/- 60 keep an eye on it (don't throw it away, don't flood it, keep the packaging), then in a year it can be sold for 40-45 Even after 4-5 years, they are selling very well on all sorts of Avitas for a quarter of the original price. Buying an ordinary laptop for the same 60 after buying and unpacking it at home, it loses 25% of its value. A year later, it can be sold for 15-20 and after two years, no one needs it, except perhaps for spare parts.
Cons
- Only two USBs. No Mic/Line-in input. Only a year of worldwide manufacturer's warranty. Even less expensive laptops are given two years. This laptop is not for gamers. Very few games are optimized for Mac OS. I think that this is the prerogative of PC desktops.
Pros
- All-metal body, battery for 6 hours (what is there to dissemble?), awesome display, excellent touchpad. I can still write for a long time)
Cons
- If you find fault with something very strongly . But I won’t.
Pros
- Probably the best laptop I've ever had. Will never go back to Windows again.
Cons
- Impossibility to increase RAM
Pros
- Build quality, screen, battery life, adequate OS
Cons
- A couple of hours will be unusual after Windows
Pros
- All the advantages in the form of a beautiful screen and an excellent OS have already been outlined below. There is really enough performance here - a powerful machine for both everyday tasks and, for example, creating music and even video processing. The upgrade was successful. Excellent sound through built-in speakers, comfortable backlit keyboard.
Cons
- The inability to independently increase the amount of memory after the purchase, although I heard that you can change it with handy guys. And it turns out that you buy the characteristics "forever," as for example in a tablet or smartphone.
Pros
- Fast and powerful. The brightest screen and best color reproduction of any Mac laptop.
Cons
- After the time has elapsed, the battery lasts for 3-4 hours of active work.
Pros
- 1. Battery! I didn’t specifically mark the time, but it produces a resource perfectly. 2. Display! 3. Speed of work, inclusion! 4. Great touch! 5. Insanely pleasant tactile sensations from the body, high-quality assembly! 6. Silent, no extra sounds. 5. Good sound, the speakers do not ring, unless of course you listen to a low bitrate, then there is a little rattling. Weight, compactness, design, etc.
Cons
- The only thing that worries me is the occasionally appearing white, horizontal strip on the screen, a couple of pixels thick. I cannot understand its nature. It may appear and disappear when the cursor is moved. Not particularly worried, appeared only 3-4 times in a year of work. Light lags of the system and programs - no one is immune from this, especially since they are rare and insignificant.
Pros
- I don't even know where to start listing the pros. To begin with, this is the THING! A real thing that was made with soul and professionalism and which you just want to use. -Very thin and light body. Moreover, after my Mac, I used the MSI laptop, which is 170 grams lighter, but it seems heavier, because the Mac's weight distribution is almost perfect, that is, it does not have lighter and heavier parts of the case, probably, including for this, it feels monolithic. -The screen is very good. Although, according to the sensations, Retina looks nicer in the iPad and, in general, I’m not sure that such a violent resolution is needed for a laptop. Normal Full HD on Windows, for example, the latest Sony Vaio Pro and Duo, also looks good. -A lot has been said about the battery - it keeps 6-8 hours of surfing in the internet, office programs. Moreover, judging by the tests, in many ways, this is the merit of Mac OS compared to Windows. -Mac OS (and this is my first computer with it) - did not cause any particular difficulties. Everything is very clear, as it should be, without experimenting with tiles popping out of windows and other things. Absolutely working, intuitive system. You find the settings where you expect, and there are not a great many of them, unlike Windows, in which the control panel in terms of the abundance of settings can be compared, probably, with the control devices of some modern aircraft. Do many people really need at least half of them, hidden, and in each new version, everything is in new and new hiding places. And in general, if we compare Mac OS with Win8 in terms of convenience and clarity, then Microsoft has come off great from Apple. Sorry, but not in that direction. -Touchpad. How many songs he sang! And right! It feels like a MAC with a touch is practically a tablet. So CLEARLY you can control what is happening on the screen with your fingers. Do not need a touchscreen in a beech. It is inconvenient to reach for it through the keyboard. But such a touch is not a compromise - this is what the laptop needs. No one could make such a touch on Windows, so now there are toys with touchscreens.
Cons
- -Perhaps working with folders on Windows is implemented and more understandable. Or maybe it's just habitual. - The lack of support for Flash, which has set the teeth on edge. Although, Google Chrome has everything, so I don’t feel a problem. -Maybe I misunderstood something, but why is the keyboard backlight on both at night and during the day? If there is an automatic level control, then why not turn it off completely in daylight also automatically in order to save more batteries? -The screen is splattered, I don’t even understand when (but a rag with an apple is included). Disadvantages, of course, as you can see - this is so, rather nit-picking.
Pros
- Lightweight, quiet, great build, great screen, great operating system, comfortable touchpad, good battery life.
Cons
- The underside is scratched when placed on the table / lifted from the table with one hand, touching the surface. Wi-fi fell off several times when waking up from sleep, it helped to turn off and on the network, it took no more than 7 seconds.
Pros
- - Design. The case is metal - not easily soiled, light, thin. - Weight, dimensions - The battery at a brightness of 80% and an average load keeps around 6 hours. More than that, but that's enough for me. - Backlit keyboard - Touchpad, I don't use a mouse at all. Such a touchpad should be in every laptop. From Windows, the Asus Zenbook does something similar, but still far from the MacBook. - Screen. He is divine. I only bought a Mac because of him, because I used the iPad for half a year and got very used to its resolution and picture quality. And only the MacBook Pro gives the same picture. Sony, Zenbook still grainy and blue. I wanted to take Air cheaper at first, but the screen became a decisive factor. - In general, the system does not slow down. I love just opening and closing the lid. No shutdowns and no waiting. Closed and removed. I also like that it turns on quickly. With the ated Yosemite somewhere around 15-20 seconds and the computer is ready to go. - No noise. When I read reviews on the market, I saw that a lot of people spoke positively about the absence of noise. That the computer is quiet and it's so convenient. Having been using Windows since 1999, I never thought about noise on laptops, let alone desktops. And then I noticed and quickly got used to it, and now when I sit at noisy computers, everything is wildly annoying. - No need to configure anything, no registry cleanups, reinstallation of Windows and other garbage. It used to be interesting, but now I just want to use the device and not think about how and when to clean it. - I was lucky, I have a Samsung SSD, the write and read speed is about 700mb / s. - Just as lucky - mine has never been electrocuted. In many reviews I saw that people were hit by static. It didn't happen to me. - The presence of a large number of cool accessories, such as cases and bags, the same Hard Graft.
Cons
- - Doesn't read half of flash drives. - Does not record 80% of flash drives and hard drives - Does not see Android (laughed, of course, but could not connect Note 3) - After 150 recharge cycles, battery capacity has decreased by 2%. In fact, it drains faster than it looks. - All the time there is a possibility that without dancing with a tambourine he will either not read something, or will not open it. - Sometimes it does not connect to charging. You need to stick it in and out a few times for it to start charging. - Organization of work with folders in the system. More than six months have already passed, but I still can’t get used to these copying, dragging and dropping. In Windows, in this regard, everything is much more convenient and easier to organize. - Anyway, if you run enough programs (more than 6) - it will be buggy. And the longer I use it, the more buggy it gets. People who say Mac never crashes are lying. Also, some programs hang, you have to kill them through the task manager. iTunes, by the way, is the most buggy program. Have to be cleaned periodically. - Annoying photo viewer. It starts as a boiler application every time, for a long time. Windows is a thousand times more convenient. But at the same time, I like to "slightly open" almost any files with a space. - The price tag at the end of November 2022 rose to the skies on them. 104k for a computer is too much.
Pros
- A stunning picture of the Retina (pronounced as retina) display, very nice ergonomics, although unusual after Windows, a lot of pleasant little things that the system does itself. This is not important to some, but purely tactilely the device is made perfectly. Appearance is also on top, it's not a shame to get it in a public place. Very good quality built-in sound card. Today I listened to Logic headphones - the charm is unreal. The combined headphone / microphone jack is a controversial decision, but it suits me completely. Suitable for any wired mobile headset. Powerful speaker. Loud, clear, with an impressive frequency range. Pirated software is almost never protected. Charges quickly and lasts a long time on a single charge. Absolutely quiet. When it downloads a lot of torrents on 8022022ac, it starts to warm up. But still quiet. Tonight I slept 40 centimeters from him, downloading a backup on TimeMachine and did not hear a sound. By the way, 8022022ac is awesome. I have an Asusovskaya access point with this protocol. It operates in the 5GHz band, where there is almost no one and no one bothers to exchange data. The speed is super. The backlit keyboard is another bonus. I lived on a beech with such a keyboard for 2 years and even forgot what it is when it is not there. Horror! In low light without backlight, it is impossible to work even if you are sitting on a blind ten-finger. So here, MAC was at its best.
Cons
- If you are planning a lot of operating systems or virtual machines, it is better to take a 512GB disk. No VGA or DVI output for older monitors. It is unpleasant. Only HDMI and (apparently) Thunderbot.
Pros
- 1) Mac OS X. It is difficult to explain the emotions that a person gets from using this operating system. Just try to work on it and you will understand everything. In the first 3-4 days I had a shock after 6-7 years of using Windows. Now that I have to sit down at Windows, I don’t understand how I could even work on this before! The system lacks any notifications, requirements to ate and so on. On the contrary, it contributes to faster and more productive work! After Windows, I'm still amazed at Mac's speed! After 10-12 seconds after turning on the Mac is already completely ready for work, it wakes up from sleep in 1-2 seconds! No brakes. 2) Retina screen. Became a decisive factor when buying a Mac. I am a photographer, I work a lot in graphic editors. A very good factory color setting, close to RGB, but what surprised me more, in the system settings, you can independently adjust the color profile or choose from existing ones! Where on Windows have you seen this? The resolution is gorgeous, you can retouch photos even without scaling, the brightness is more than sufficient, I don’t understand those who complain about insufficient brightness in the reviews. 3) Aluminum housing, backlit keyboard, excellent speakers. Very pleased with all the performance of the Mac, nothing more, exactly what you need for work. 4) Battery. There is nothing special to describe here. 9-10 hours without recharging, you can work easily. 5) Excellent and large touchpad. Even more comfortable than a mouse. The mouse is only occasionally needed in Photoshop or iMovie. For everyday tasks, you can throw away the mouse. 6) And once again the speed. Mac OS X, flash memory and other characteristics provide very good performance. Heavy programs like Lightroom open in a couple of seconds, rendering HD videos, exporting RAW photos, heavy operations in Photoshop - everything happens very quickly.
Cons
- I did not identify any shortcomings that would seriously affect the work with the Mac. Rather, these are minor flaws that you may not even notice, but I will mark them so that you have in mind when buying: 1) The lower part is heated. Mac noise is rare, only when rendering HD video and similar tasks. In other situations, you will not notice noise at all, because there is none. But when working on my knees, sometimes it feels like it heats up and quite strongly 2) Be prepared for the fact that some programs are not yet adapted for the Retina screen. No, don't worry, the pictures don't overlap the text and everything looks good, but the icons in some programs (for example, in Microsoft Office!) are very grainy. However, the text everywhere looks just gorgeous, you can’t say otherwise. On the Internet, some sites are fully adapted to the resolution of Retina, on some you will notice grainy images. It does not cause irritation or distraction and is noticeable if you look closely.
Pros
- Solid case, good screen, capacious battery, quiet, generally pleasant touchpad, the resale price is usually higher than that of analogues
Cons
- slow, relatively heavy, heats up, strange set of ports, needs adaptation
Pros
- Price. "Iron". Build quality.
Cons
- No 3G/4G modem. Restrictions when using Windows.
Pros
- Absolutely Amazing!
Cons
- Not bad, but...
