12 inch MacBook began to reach a multitude of clients of the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), starting from the past few days, but unfortunately few of them turn out to be satisfied with the choice made. It seems that most of them praise the design conceived by Jony Ive and his team, but unfortunately the changes made by Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), spoils the user experience.
As you can probably already imagine, the USB-C port, the only existing one in the MacBook 12 inch, is insufficient to connect all types of cables USB, VGA, HDMI, etc., but this was also mentioned in the first reviews. If some thought that they would overcome this problem, it seems that the reduced performance of the product was the second big problem, so that many ended up returning the MacBook 12 inches they bought.
Took me back. It was really a wow factor. So light, so beautiful. But in the end, it just wasn't for me. After spending a day trying to hunt down USB-C adapters in Apple stores (weren't available at Best Buy, where I bought mine), I got to thinking about what I loved and what I didn't. Could I type on my lap with it? Sure and watch the screen jiggle on my soft legs. Turns out a 13″ or even 15″ model with weight is more stable for me personally. [...] Ports is an issue for a user like me. I knew that going in, but I was going to be patient with it. It finally got to me.
According to users, 12 inch MacBook it's a great replacement for the iPad and anyone who makes the transition will certainly not regret it, as the limitations are similar. If we are still talking about switching from a MacBook Pro to 12 inch MacBook, then there will surely be enough regrets, some claiming that the new product is like an iPad tablet that runs OS X and has a trackpad and a keyboard.
It was normal that not all users love the MacBook 12 inch and it was normal to see testimonials like this, but in the end the user experience matters the most. To be honest, it would be good to be guided by these testimonials if you want to buy the new product, because you might spend many thousands of lei on something that in the end is not worth it.
But that doesn't mean it isn't for you. I wouldn't mind one instead of the iPads we have, but I'll wait until the price comes down. It just didn't feel like a step into the future for me. It felt like some steps back from my 13″ Retina MacBook Pro or 15″ MacBook Pro. Gone were the Apple touches I felt were worth the premium. I know I'll catch flack for this, but it felt like an iPad running OS X with a great trackpad and great keyboard for light typing. But then I started trying to touch the screen."
"With some regret I returned my Retina MacBook over the weekend. The two reasons I ultimately returned it were that the keyboard didn't agree with me and, after some practical thinking, I realized that there were going to be issues managing using two laptops concurrently.
The keyboard — I expected to like it or at least to be neutral and get used to it. In the end, to my surprise, it turned out to be a lot harder to type accurately on the new keyboard than my Retina MacBook Pro or my Apple Bluetooth keyboard. This is totally YMMV (your mileage may vary) territory.
The other thing that pushed me over the line when I was thinking about returning it was managing two laptops (in addition to my Mac Mini). Not so much keeping files current, but license management issues. Most of the programs I use a lot are limited to two installations, and keeping track of what is activated on which laptop presented possibilities like taking one of them on a trip having forgotten to deactivate/sign out on the other one, which could be a real problem."
"It is a staggeringly great little machine.
Virtually no heat coming from it and silent operation.
Runs a long time on a single charge.
It looks fantastic and is the most fun notebook I have ever used.
It handles everything I have thrown at it like any MacBook I have owned.
The trackpad has some really neat new tricks and feels great.
It sits very comfortably on my laptop lap cushion.
The keyboard looks amazing at night and feels great, I type faster.
I am more productive as I love using this notebook.
The performance is great for 98% of everything most users will do.
It's easy to take anywhere you need to go, light as a feather, packs down nicely.
The screen is super sharp and makes my late 2013 13″ rMBP screen look fuzzy.
12″ is just right, not too big and not too small.
Makes the 13" Retina MBP look very outdated.
Single port is just fine, if you need many ports to use your computer today, you are doing it all wrong. I do all my backups and any necessary restorations wirelessly. I use the cloud, not just Apple, but multiple clouds.
