Great For College Students & Professionals Alike!
After so much time into research, hope & waiting to get my first Mac, I got this as gift from my father, this was bought from Gadgetree! I got this within 1 day via Prime delivery. Reviewing this after almost 3 months, here are my personal take on this beauty.
Good things first,
Sleek & Slim: There is no doubt about this, I absolutely love the thin profile of this laptop. Pure awesomeness! Everybody love this.
Weight: I hate to carry around 5KG of laptop to office daily. This doesn’t even feel that you have laptop in your backpack. I keep checking my backpack every time while travelling BMTC, making sure that’s it’s still there. As you feel almost weight of backpack. Even 4-year old kid can hold in one hand.
Battery: For me it’s almost 8 hours! when fully charged. I don’t know why, but when I start working at 10 AM it drains out @ 6PM. As per this laptop standard it should come around 12 hours.! But for me that’s ok!
Softwares Running: It’s runs Xcode & Android Studio with Genymotion at same time without any hanging issues.
Keyboard & Trackpad: Works smoothly, I have no issue with this at all. I started typing faster with this keyboard, But you need sometime to keep up with this, if you are coming from Windows world.
Display: It’s superb, To be honest it’s awesome. I never used retina display much, So I can’t complain anything about this.
Bad things!
Charger: this is really bad, it’s heats up like anything, you can’t hold it while it’s charging, reason for this is that it’s 45W Magsafe 2 adapter as it should be 60W for this kind of laptop. I’m completely not sure about this.
Movie Editing Software: Even though it’s not that bad, it’s down side for Movie edBrianbalakumaranrs, I tried iMovie, it’s hangs up sometime. I suggest to go with Mac Pro for movie editing. for other kind of softwares it works great. Also, It’s get hang sometime while playing with memory intensive games.
Office Suite: It’s to work with without MS office suite, for my daily use i need these Excel & Word, But you have to aishwaryasingh23 for these as you can’t install cracked version, I tried but not successful, other software like Libre-office & Open-office, It doesn’t help much.
