I had it in my possession for about 3 months. It has been replaced with the new M3 and there is a small reason. Design, very high quality and sturdy. I love the aluminum construction of it, all over its body. The screen has impressed me. I didn't expect it to be so good, the truth is, I wasn't prepared for it. It has very vivid and clear colors, whatever the creator wants to show, the screen shows it correctly, without any changes. Very high brightness. Battery, a beast. That's all I have to say. I have never experienced such a battery in a laptop before. I should note, first time on a MacBook, before that, I had a windows laptop. It lasts for navigation and light tasks up to 10 hours (or for video watching), which is crazy. I don't know what work and agreement they have done, but it does it very well. In heavier tasks, of course, the time drops by half, but still with a general windows, you can get up to 5 hours as general use. Let alone in heavy tasks where all windows laptops reduce performance with the battery in use, while in MacBooks, nothing like that happens. Very fast charging and I love the new MagSafe cable, which is magnetic, very convenient. Other: Keyboard... oh... The best I have encountered in a laptop. Decades better than anything else on the market. Yes, I am definitely exaggerating, but every keystroke gives you excellent feedback, silent and you know that you have pressed it. Shortcuts are also very useful, I need some time to learn them. Trackpad, this doesn't fall behind either, it definitely replaces a mouse for simple tasks, for navigation, etc. You can make very nice finger gestures, and in general, it works and is very responsive, efficient, and accurate. Ports, this is where things go wrong. Only 2 type c, you hurt Apple. I have gotten used to it though and I manage. Camera, very good resolution 1080p, you can easily make your video calls and the microphones work just fine. The speakers are very high quality, here Apple gives emphasis on this part, which in other laptops they have it as an indifferent feature and give rubbish. Here it has intensity, quality, in other words, you can watch your video and your series comfortably. Software. Finally! I was getting annoyed by Microsoft lately with their silly choices and decisions in their software. Silly bugs and things that were simple to do, we made them difficult. Here is an operating system that works flawlessly. The setup is very fast and understandable. Many options, and in general, if you have an iPhone, it works perfectly. Its ecosystem, cannot be matched by any other company, that's the truth. I need some time to learn it and detach from some things I had on Windows, but it will happen. Overall, I have become a big fan of the operating system. You need to work with it to understand more. Speed: Strangely, you will say, it left it last to mention, which the above, we would say it first and yes, I will agree. It only works silently, doesn't heat up in any task, and heavy (not editing) it's incredible and I don't know how it has achieved this. It's full snap, it doesn't lag anywhere and whatever you ask for, it gives it to you immediately. Foul now in this category from Apple, and why I changed. It's not possible, kids in 2024, to still give 8GB Ram. I'm not saying it doesn't run, but if you open 5 applications and 5 pages in the browser, the memory is not enough and it goes to the disk. It's a trick of the operating system, I don't know much detail to tell you about it, but I know that if the hard drive keeps writing and deleting constantly, it's bad for its health. Also, the hard drive writes slower than the ram, resulting in the system running slower. And second fault. I don't have an issue with the 256GB of space. I have an issue with the speed. A simple search on the internet and you will see that they have put a very slow ssd on the M2. Prohibitive, because this way it forces the M2 monster to be limited by the speeds of the ssd and the little ram. It's good for simple things, I don't deny that. But for something more, you go elsewhere. I may be exaggerating, but when you give 1,200€ to the machine, these should not be issues and should not exist. Otherwise, no problem, is it worth it? I would say those of you who don't have it, switch to the M3, as I did. I rushed to get the M2, that's the truth. It was sold at a very good price at least. I got the M3, again with 256GB, no problem, but here they have put the fast ssd again, and there is no limitation on the processor anywhere. And of course, I upgraded to 16GB of Ram, to be comfortable for the next 5 years. An evaluation for the M3 will come soon. Thank you very much and I hope I helped you, analyzed and did not tire you.
