Apple MacBook Pro 13 2020 M1 [MYDC2]

First of all, the first impression is made by the design and its execution, no matter what anyone says. However, after gaming laptops with RGB lighting on almost every part of the body, made of plastic, the size of a concrete slab, and weighing about the same, the Mac feels like a feather. Its lightness and compactness make it very easy and extremely comfortable to transport in a small backpack when traveling. I also liked the keyboard and screen; it's very pleasant to write texts on it (although the arrangement of some keys and combinations is sometimes terrible, but this can be changed in the settings), and watching movies and working with colors is quite pleasant, even though it is not OLED. Also, the gestures are simply incredibly implemented, after Windows laptops, it's just something unreal. Overall, the system is quite convenient in certain aspects, although I still cannot get used to the file system. However, I got used to everything else in just a few hours of use. So I think there's no need to worry about switching to a new system, the difference is not that big. The camera is more or less acceptable, suitable for ZOOM, and a pretty good microphone. The sound is quite good for its price, although once the speaker crackled, but after restarting it didn't happen again. I can also attribute the "Apple ecosystem" to the advantages; however, I only actually use the shared photo library and AirDrop.

- Touch Bar

I liked the laptop because it is sturdy, has powerful sound, an amazing display, and wide viewing angles, with enough brightness to work on a sunny day. The keyboard is almost perfect, with low and quiet key travel, pleasant backlighting, but after keyboards for Windows PCs, you have to get used to the new key layout. The power button also has a built-in TouchID fingerprint scanner. Above the keyboard, functional keys are replaced by a touch bar, which can perform their role and also system, application, etc. management functions. The laptop has a large trackpad - it's convenient and supports many gestures. The laptop has powerful sound with quite loud speakers. The microphones (there are 3 of them) are studio quality and sound good. The camera is well-suited for conferences and calls, you could even run a podcast or stream. The laptop is silent, I haven't had to run the cooler even once. I was doing web development and played a few games (Dota, CS GO, Tanks), the laptop handles Dota and Tanks smoothly, but with CS it was a bit laggy, perhaps due to the internet, or maybe it's the old CS engine's fault.
