Never owned a MacBook Pro
By Karen on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2018
I’ve been windows from day one and was iPhone/iPad all the same. Never thought twice about buying into the Apple OS world because of their outrageous prices until windows got on my last nerve. I researched for a while, I think I was trying to justify why I was changing over. Lol Once I made my decision I was sold. I chose the 13” MacBook Pro without the touch bar. The touch bar is a joke and I was not buying into it. Received it on time and was pleasantly surprised it was brand new. I’m not a gamer or heavily involved in graphic design but I have been a CorelDraw user since the 4 version (updated to 10) for design and photos due to my hobby. Corel still does not support most of its software which is sad but I was glad to let them go. With that said, as a newbie, the Apple OS is very impressive! I am a serious fb user due to admin’ing close to 10 support groups. Having all my files transfer from my iPad to the Mac was four steps I didn’t have to go through with windows. I’m a newbie and still learning the ins and outs but everything I discover is awesome. If you are a light laptop user working with windows and use an iPhone or iPad I highly recommend it. Read others experiences because I have no knowledge the depth of the Apple experience. What I am discovering is one less road I don’t have to do with windows. Embarrassed to say, lol, I’ll buy another Mac when I have to. Sometimes you just have to give in. :) Bottom line, sellers response was quick, product was was excellent and I am very pleased with the whole experience.

Anyone need a heater?
By I_Like_Keyboards on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2017
This is the hottest, slowest, worst keyboard, bastardized version of a macbook ever. I have never seen a laptop overheat when idle. But this thing can overheat just watching something on Netflix. If you are multitasking, forget it. The fans are so loud it is incredible. But let's talk about the keyboard because not only do the buttons not have any tactile feel after about a month but they also do not click and some do not even register when pushed. Everything that was good about the macbook is dead. This is a tragedy and poor Woz for still having his name on this. You just know that Cook was like "I want it smaller!" and an engineer replied, "The heat dissipation of the i5 would require fans and a heatsin.." "SHUTUP" yells Cook. "Just make it happen! And the keyboard needs to be reinvented because it is too durable and we need the genius bar money". Maybe that was an exaggeration of what happened but this is the worst waste of money I have spent recently and I just got back from Vegas. And no, I will not give the genius bar money to tell me they need to refurbish my laptop so that I have the same problem over and over until the warranty runs out. I GOT RIPPED OFF. APPLE IS MAKING TRASH NOW. I had to edit this: There is no way this should have the word "pro" in it. It is so loud that in my last meeting the fans took off and everyone asked if my laptop was ok. It was a complete distraction that turned into the center of attention when the guy next to me touched it and said it burnt him. Then of course everyone else in the meeting need to touch it and comment about how it could cook eggs and whatnot. This is a disaster of a laptop. Just the worst. Edit: two years later. I was affected by both flexgate and keyboardgate. Apple is dead to me.
