Works as it should but wait !

published

So the item works fine, not fast or slow, just another computer, albeit costing more than the equivalent power windows notebooks. But I learned today the SSD is vulnerable to breaking down. Mass Recall !

My other macbook pro had a cracked screen because it had a sheet of paper in it when it was closed once. That cost 700 dollars to replace. Seems the screens are very fragile along with the SSD.

Giving it one star because of above

Excellent product, however quite overpriced!

published

I have been a mac user for years, so buying another macbook was a simple decision. This laptop is definitely a step-up from the previous macbook pro with retina display from previous years. It took a little while to get used to the thin keyboard, however now I actually think it is easier to type on. My complaint is that this product is far too expensive for the components it has.

Apple is not cheap but always reliable

published

I bought this second-hand MacBook pro retina screen in may 2018. as I have really good experience with apple, this laptop never let me disappointed. Thin body and good structural design, it is still one of the best-looking laptops in 2018. Additionally, the performance of the MacBook still remains at a really good level as well as the battery. I would highly recommend to everyone who has been tired of Windows!

Plus the battery simply does not last the day as promised. Apple a once quality company sadly no more. Plus they have changed the input to their Plugs

By far the best current design

published

The screen might not be 4k but the resolution is outstanding 2k is enough for a 13 inch screen, the keyboard feels solid can’t find a better one to compare the model I bought is customise with 16 Gb of Ram so the performance is impressive, it helps the apple apfs file system inside MacOs so the interface in my opinion is flawless, so light so compact I can’t find anything to whinge about I’m not a big fan of the usb type C but apparently is the future quite tiny for such capabilities, I’ve been working with Apple since 2000 I cannot expected less than this minimalistic and still powerful machine.

So far so good

published

I got the new MacBook Pro before travelling europe. I have had it for about a year and a half and haven't had any issues with it yet. It was the perfect size for travelling as the computer easily fit in my bag and came out of 6 months of travelling unscathed. My only issue is sometimes if you are running large games it can slow down a little, but nothing too bad.

Great laptop. Still going strong

published

Great laptop still going strong without any issue. I had a previous year model and had a charging issue. So took it for repair and they repaired but did something wrong with the repair so I could not sign in. So they gave me a new laptop!. So I actually got a laptop for 8 months for free. I purchased extended warranty as well.

Apple products are expensive. But they are worth the money and Apple care is worth every penny.

Great laptop

published

A little pricey but a great laptop to use. Decided to upgrade from the 2008 Macbook to this and I still feel at home using it. I use this a lot for browsing and reading and works great. Battery lasts fine and the fans don't make much noise at all.

Good, light, versatile

published

A great little laptop. I bought a monitor for big display when using at home. The computer is excellent. It was really easy to switch everything over from my old MacBook - intuitive and easy to use. The touch bar is a nice addition - good for all sorts of applications.

Great laptop

published

This is a great laptop! I would recommend buying it. It is a bit expensive, but it's the best looking laptop. The good things about it include: Retina display, the soft feel of the keyboard and it's quick. Bad things that I have found include: it gets hot on my lap when watching videos and the battery drains pretty quickly.

Reliable laptop that last a long time

published

Was looking for a replacement for my old broken MacBook which has lasted me for 5 years. This laptop is perfect for my use of browsing, watching movie and occasional video editing. It integrates very well with my iPhone, making my workflow very seamless. Battery lasts for 6 hours or so on normal use. Laptop also very light so it is easy to carry around.
The only complain I have is the lack of ports (only USB-C port), but a small price to pay for portability.

Claim water damage and won’t fix

published

My trackpad stopped working and apple claimed the laptop was waterdamaged. Literally impossible as it’s a work computer that sits up on a bench. So annoyed. These things cost so much money and to not have it fixed even though it’s in warranty is so poor I believe. Everything else works fine so can’t understand how it’s much after damage

More fashion than the original MacBook occupied Air use a lot, especially the new version of Lion 10.7, the radiating heat discharge more easily than the old one, excellent workmanship and gorgeous body design, the hardware configuration is also very awesome. The aluminium body has a very good texture, the screen does not say, the feel of the first class.

Prefer the Air and it’s less

published

So I own both the air and MacBook Pro and love both but honestly the air is still fine and costs $500 less. Ideally Apple will release an upgraded air that’s even thinner and lighter again, but don’t feel you need the pro just because it’s newer and more powerful (the air can still do everyday tasks with ease and style!). Having made that point, the Pro is as you would expect a fine laptop with gorgeous display and I love using it. Downsides to be aware of are the USB C ports need an adaptor (but there are some for just a few $ online) and the keys are a bit more tappy sounding than the air.

Decent Laptop

published

Decent laptop. Served me well for the past 3 years, so I would say that it has been fairly robust. Only complaint would be that my model was one of the ones that the screen started peeling off. Otherwise, this is a laptop without many issues that runs quite well.
