    Dated Design in Dire Need of a Touch Screen.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    In using the new M1, I can't help but feel that this is a dated design in dire need of a touch screen. It benches very fast but to the user seems slower than my HP Spectre 13 inch because of lack of touch screen input and the inability to use the screen in tent mode, etc. The battery is amazing lasting approximately 2 days for me in normal use. There also is no noise and minimal heat. iPad apps don't feel right because of the lack of a touch interface. Boot Camp is gone and emulations are not currently working. In summary, Apple needs to go all in on this thing or else they will have a product that specs well but is not satisfying to the average user.

    Get this, fast, efficient and Silent...

    OK, let me put it in perspective: I have a ROG Zephyrus with AMD Ryzen 9 and NVDIA 2060 GPU (which is pretty high end for laptops) And I have a M1 Air with 16GB RAM, now here it is where it gets interesting, the GPU on the M1 Chip is on par or is better than 2060 in few of the use cases I have tested in graphic rendering like in Adobe, DaVinci Resolve video editing tools, and some of the videos have rendered in 4k much faster than a beast like ROG Zephyrus, yes ROG can handle gaming better, but there aren't many games that we can test on Mac on par with Windows. Having said that, M1 with everything on a SOC chip (RAM, Processor and GPU) is like magic, very fast, responsive, and efficient, and key thing in bold like the ROG or other intel based laptops (including Mac's own) this does not get WARM at all!!!, trust me that's a huge difference on how M1 handles processes more efficiently. I can only imagine the run for money NVIDIA or AMD will have once Apple releases the next version with more cores in GPU and CPU minus the heavy mother board requirements, or the heat! this is a true game changer... am saying it because I have the best of the both world from Intel (ROG Zephyrus) and Mac M1, because as a hobby I do video editing, I have switched over to a MacBook Air, which was unimaginable couple of months back! Bottom line server class performance on a laptop. period.

    I love this computer so much. I bought as a graduation gift for myself. It is one of the best laptops Ive ever owned. The only problem with it is the camera. I wish the quality was a little better but overall this laptop is amazing.

    Apple's MacBook Pro

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Despite many thinking this computer is over hyped. Apple's MacBook Pro is the best investment I have made in a computer to date. I myself am a busy person juggling many things, and as a business owner, this computer holds an abundance of features that make life more convenient. One outstanding feature is that my iPhone wirelessly syncs with my laptop so everything on my phone is also on my computer. This is very helpful as it makes it possible to have my text, calls, photos, files, and so much more easily at my disposal spread across the sun-glare resistant screen. Additionally, the touch bar is a great new feature that makes things so easy and quick when switching tabs, word suggestions, etc. The modern sleek design also makes me want to work on the computer more because it makes me feel savvy and productive. However, I do not like that when the battery gets low, brightness darkens. Obviously, this is a problem with an easy solution, which again makes this computer even better. I purchased my MacBook Pro in March 2020 at the beginning of quarantine so that it would help me be more efficient and I am grateful i made this decision. Thus, I must urge you, if you are considering purchasing and investing in a MacBook Pro DO IT!

    I needed a laptop for college, and for this one being discounted at the time, it was a perfect choice. I got the space gray color and I’m absolutely in love with it! Great battery, runs smoothly, and feels great!

    Love this laptop and the color!

    I love this Laptop! I had a HP for years...and I just recently wanted to try the MacBook because I have an iPhone and wanted to keep in the apple family. When I seen this on sale and checked Reviews for this and the M2 (on YouTube as well)...I decided to give the M1 a try as my first Apple laptop. The price was perfect and I really love the Gold color and that was the deal breaker. Also, it meets my needs! I just need for basic everyday needs and work related projects. So far so good and haven't had any issues. I get a lot of compliments on the color. Also, picked up the same day I ordered the laptop which was great! I do recommend this laptop!

    I can multitask easily without my Macbook lagging. Its battery also runs for a lot of long time and lasts more than a school day. It is also lightweight so whenever I bring it with me to school, it is not a hassle.

    Supercharged performance and battery for an ultraportable. This laptop has entirely changed the way I work. I can through any productivity task at it and it runs it smoothly. I remote into a powerful desktop for heavy data analysis and this computer can last 15+ hours doing that without needing to charge.

    Was able to pick up the MacBook model I wanted in-store that same day after purchase, in the color I wanted! I'm enjoying the computers, it's exactly what I was looking for: lightweight, portable, but more powerful than my iPad Pro.

    I’ve upgraded 8 years old MacBook Pro to this one and I couldn’t be happier. It’s light, it works fast. I don’t need gaming or video processing capabilities, so for the average user it is just enough.
