Sans the OS which I am not a big fan of, the hardware is simply the best in the market.
Even though Microsoft's Surface is making headway and posing as good competition, it has a long road ahead of it.
Apple has perfected the macbook hardware over the years and exudes excellent craftsmanship along with unparalled battery backup. Whether you are a student or a travel blogger or a lecturer or a business executive, it suits everyone.

This Macbook is quite fun to use although I'm not really fond of the shallow typing feeling in comparison to the 2012 Macbook pro. It runs very quietly and I have had no problems loading the timemachine backup. It is annoying that I now have to buy a hub adapter in order to use regular USB devices as there are only 2 USB Type-C inputs. At least there is a headphone port.

It took me lots of time to come to buying this laptop. I have been familiar with Apple products but given a hectic price I gave it a lot of research. I ended up buying a refurbished model saving more than $200. It came with almost no defects, just without the original box. The keyboard was hard and caused me pain for the first few weeks but then I could typed much faster on it. There are two complaints though. Unlike iphone charging hole, the MBP's one doesn't have the fringe. So mine got damaged in the first 4 weeks. Then since the edge of the upper part (the display) is to sharpe and soft, it got dents all over. Yea sadly. But all laptops nowadays are expensive, MBP is still the best choice if you need a good one that can last for years.

This is a fast little unit, I just switched from a lifetime of frustration using microsoft systems after fighting viruses, system crashes etc. This unit does not need an antivirus as it never gets viruses not to mention it is fast and responsive every time i switch it on. Should have made the switch much earlier in life!
