Apple makes great Laptops man!

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2020

Design
- Apple has this luxurious products when it comes design and it really shows. The laptop is slick and has a nice color and has a great keyboard design. The bezels are a little big for 2020 standards but it still looks great and feels authentic

Battery
- Battery life is great and I get pretty close to the 10 hours if I make sure brightness is not to high and I am not doing anything too taxing on the machine. Charges relatively quick compared to my old Macbook air

Performance
- This thing is fast! I mean really fast and I love it. No slow downs here but will have to update in due time. I love the quad core processor because it works just great instead of my dual core.

Software
- Gotta love mac OS but it will never be better than my love for windows. But man I love how stable and optimized mac os is and it is zippy and great.

Thermals
- Got a bit toasty when I first booted it and was syncing my icloud stuff. I had to start it afterwards to make sure the fans were working and my product was not defective. Thankfully after a reboot it does not get hot anymore unless I have multiple tabs open while watching movies and running other apps like spark and Itunes.

Overall, I would rate this a 9 out of 10

Definitely worth a buy since I am a big fan of Apple laptops and their craftsmanship!

Do you somebody. For 1199 it’s a pretty average price. Kind of disappointed that Mac couldn’t at least have thrown in an extra port or two but leave it to them to make you have to buy more adapters.

I know it’s not a 16 inch which has more adapters but when you spend over a grand Mac should give you something.
Not bad and I wish you could update the ram but it runs decent

Macbook Pro 2020 - "Like New" - Highly recommended

I highly recommend you purchase the "like new" Macbook.

The item came brand new in sealed packaging and was $60 less. I'd imagine at worst, someone ordered it and sent it back, but it was never used or even opened.

Highly recommended at this price point for the strength of the machine. All you have to do is click "more buying options". I hope this helps.

First great macbook pro in a long time.

Really great laptop, the keyboard reminds me of my 2015 macbook pro 13”. While it is different, after a few minutes of typing, I can’t tell the difference anymore. I do not like the touch bar, full stop. I wish they would sell a model without it. I’m also disappointed to spend so much money and get an chipset that is several years old. However, in practice I never saw any performance issues. I did end up returning it and sticking with my old windows laptop. It turns out that I am actually just fine with my work laptop and an ipad.
