Apple MacBook Pro - A Review after 1 year

Apple MacBook Pro - A Review After Using For 1 Year


    I have been using Apple's MacBook Pro for over an year now, and it has been working pretty great. This laptop comes only in 2 colors - Silver White and Space Gray. I have the MacBook Pro with a 13.3" Retina display and the TouchBar. The only thing that I hate about the laptop is that this is the version when the keyboard had a touch esc button, which annoys you a lot if you are gaming with it's in-built keyboard. You can get upto 8TB of storage, and 16GB of RAM on this device. I have the version with 256GB storage and 8GB RAM. Here is a full review of every single thing in this device -

The Keyboard

    What I like about it is that it has a very silent keyboard, so that it doesn't annoy or disturb anyone around you. The keys of this are fairly sized to fit a 13" laptop so that you will be comfortable with the typing experience.

The Speakers

The speakers are EXTREME on volume, meaning that the speakers are the greatest ones I've heard on a laptop, they're so good! The bass is also a lot, which I like about this. When you are gaming, they are VERY powerful and good.

The Trackpad (Which I hate like bruh)

The trackpad... What to even talk about it? I hate the trackpads since I started using a mouse. The mouse gives you a way better gaming experience (pretty obvious) and also that it doesn't annoy you while typing, while a trackpad is usually built into a laptop, so sometimes you just move your mouse somewhere where you don't want it to be. In macOS, there is an option to make the trackpad not track anything on it when you connect a mouse to it, but since I love to use Windows 10 on it, it doesn't have an option to make the trackpad kinda like numb, I guess?

The TouchBar (which every gamer hates oof)

As I said in the first trackpad, the esc button is on the touchbar, so it annoys gamers a LOT. But otherwise, it is also helpful. Apple removed the touch esc button in their new 13" MacBook Pro, making the left and right arrow key shorter, and removing the touch esc button. It did help the ones who bought it, but I'm still dealing with the old 2019 MacBook Pro with touch esc. The other functions are good, that's all that I can say.

The TrueTone Retina Display

This is the good feature about this MacBook Pro - a Retina display, with Apple's special TrueTone display. The colors on the screen look fabulous, and it is capable of 4K video playback, which stunned me when I saw that "There is something more clear than that of 1080p?" Since before I was using a HP Pavillion x360 m3 Convertible 2017, it was only capable for video playback upto 1080p, which now sucks since now I discovered that there is something called 4K videos [like oof].


Overall, this MacBook Pro is not that bad. Right now I've attached a separate keyboard and mouse to it so that I can at least not use the MacBook Pro's keyboard, but when you're sitting on a sofa, using the in-built keyboard will obviously be better than the external keyboard. Here are a few pictures of the MacBook Pro 13" with TouchBar -
