In the last two years I could Mediengestaltung work on a company in the field a lot with the Macs and had to rearrange my idea against Apple. I had long before I spared a computer zuzulegen from the house, partly because the products have a price. But after I got home in the last five years wasted three notebooks among other things by viruses despite paid antivirus software and human handling, it has then it passes me. As the Apple computer company in the run for years without problems, I wanted to also take the step. Given the longevity of Apple Computer, then the price is similar to the time anyway from the competitors, at least this is my current experience value.
Housing:
First, a lot to me that the MacBook Pro with its aluminum enclosure acts as a unified whole and the eye eats as well known with. Here you get delivered a perfectly crafted device. Of course, this is not. I had equipment, where the gaps were to believe in a false production.
Keyboard:
Especially in the evening I'm still working on my studies and therefore wished me a keyboard lighting, which can be gradually regulated here. The stop of the keys is really well balanced. For other devices, I'd also like it that were not always aware of the attacks.
Memory:
Who can the device with 8GB Ram should be equipped, not least so that the device also for the coming years and the upcoming operating system remains liquid.
Graphics:
The Intel Graphics which is delivered without sufficient problems for all current office and image editing applications. Even games like Diablo 3 and StarCraft 2 still run on normal settings, which were graphically designed functional rather, there so rather the gameplay is in the foreground. So if what the play studied (graphics intensive), which should rather avoid. I use beside an office variant even Adobe and video programs that run all liquid.
Drive:
Now the new retinas come yes all without drive, therefore, but as I did not want to do without it and maybe have a little conservative in the matter, my unit comes easy with compact front drive.
Now I would never be regarded as disciples of a company, because I have to know her a lot of good products from different companies. But the MacBook I have to say in terms of appearance, handling, presentation and shelf life my respect.
