Apple Macbook 12-inch 2017

They need to make more of these! – Pity Apple has discontinued the laptop. I’ve been using it for just over a year now and it has been wonderful. The portability it allows and the build quality is second to none. I understand the keyboard is crap, mine has broken twice but Apple has fixed it + a new battery, so no complaints! The only thing is, if you are trying to edit high res photos or video, this isn’t for you as it is slowwwwww but productivity wise it is fantastic. I take it everywhere with me instead of the 15inch MacBook Pro now. It’s good enough unless I need to do heavy processing on the go.

Cons? - One USB Port - Expensive as hell! I’d recommend buying it secondhand from people who’ve realised it doesn’t have a lot of power bu between this and the iPad Pro, I’d pick this any day until the iPad gets full laptop apps and file system.

There are much cheaper systems out there that are better and I highly recommend looking into them if your budget is tight, but it’s Windows and not OSX.

Just bad – It's generally ok with browsing the web, loading documents and slight multitasking (As any computer should be able to do in 2018) But oh boy, if you throw a simple CPU intensive task like a web browser game then prepare for burnt thighs. Keyboard is alright, I generally make more accidentally presses on this compared to any other keyboard because of the small travel between keys. Mine makes a knocking noise also when shaken side to side which is odd for a company like Apple.

-Weak Performance (3D, 2D and other software)

-Average keyboard (Annoying small travel)

- Great Display

-Knocking noise....?

Little frustrating but I love it – I have 3 Macs and I converted to Mac 3 years ago. My latest Mac is the Apple Macbook 12-inch. Light and thin I wanted this just to take with me when I travel. But it now comes with just one port. A USB-C Port. You get a power point charger but it plugs into this one and only port on the side of the Mac. What if you want to plug in an another device? USB, HDMI, etc. You have to carry around a large adapter. One extra USB port would have made this perfect. I think Mac people are a special breed, we overlook anything issue just to have a Mac product. I knew this would be a problem, but I still bought the Apple Macbook 12-inch.
