This little laptop is SO good. The keyboard feels phenomenal, I cannot tell there are any pixels on the screen, and the battery has never died on me. The screen was weird, but since it was under warranty Apple replaced it for free. The build quality is excellent. The solid metal construction simply cannot be broken under normal use. It's great for school and home use. The only issue with gaming is that it overheats, and of course, not very many games are available on the Mac, so not the computer's fault. This is a 10/10 laptop would recommend it to anyone else looking for a small, portable, and powerful laptop.
Speaking of power, this thing FLIES. It handles any task I throw at it. I tried video editing the other day, and it handles my 4K timeline so easily.
Final rating:
Build quality: 10/10
Keyboard: 10/10
Display: 10/10
Gaming: 8/10
Performance: 10/10

Absolutely in love all over again
I first bought this mac in 2020 when it first came out but i broke the screen in dec.2023. Was undecided about getting a brand new mac or getting the screen fixed.. to get a screen fixed is over $500 so I decided to buy a new mac.I was skeptical about buying from amazon because of the reviews… i did tons of research and learned that amazon buys wholesale and sale for cheaper bc of the profit they make from accessories , etc… ANYWAYs. I received the mac completely dead which caused me to panic. It took about 20 minutes to get a charge and power on. I began researching ways to figure out if the battery was damaged or if this was a brand new mac… turns out this charge is the first charge this mac has had and the battery level is “normal” i figured it set on the shelf a while because it came with OSVentura.i have set up my mac, of course it was super easy because i have all mac devices : phone, ipad, and imac.overall im in love all over again with this mac. i’ll update in a few months if anything changes. This mac is fragile, simple because of it’s weight. It’s a no brainer that one needs to carefully use this computer when closing it, traveling, etc. I had no problems with my previous mac and it would fall on the carpet numerous of time lol. i used my previous mac for school, work, and personal use and the 256 GB was just fine. I usually upload everything to google drive anyway when im done with files and documents.thanks amazon for the fast delivery!!

- A tela dele suja, e pra limpar é um pesadelo, a ponto de você tentar limpar e a tela ficar mais suja do que já estava, parece até que está estragando, fica tudo manchado depois (todos meus colegas que tem mac concordam)
- Monitores externos ficam com a imagem estranha, meio pixelada, provavelmente aconteça se seu monitor for de 1080p (alguns colegas também relataram). Se você tiver algum problema com monitor e ele tiver entrada DisplayPort, recomendo usar com o cabo Displayport para Thunderbolt.
Acredito que um dos problemas com a qualidade da imagem no monitor externo seja contraste entre telas, já que a tela do macbook é muito superior, ou pelo fato do sistema operacional da Apple ser voltado à telas retina, com altíssima resolução e muitos detalhes, diferente do Windows e outros.
- Só tive tramentos quando abri o Android studio com emulador iOS e mais diversas IDEs e servidores simultaneamente. (Peguei pesado)
Se você for dev React Native ou Flutter esse computador é perfeito, pois você pode usar o simulador iOS, que é muito leve.
Se você for trabalhar especialmente com Android, recomendo o de 16gb, porque você vai ter que racionar memória
