Apple MacBook Pro 16 inches (2021) M1 Max (10-core CPU/32-core GPU) 32GB/4TB Space Gray AZERTY

Nice and fast under heavy loads.

I own a 2015 MacBook Pro. Then the macbook of 2021 is a huge difference! What immediately struck me is the nice screen and the special sound. I've never had such a dolby atmos experience on a laptop. They have come up with this beautifully. The keyboard takes some getting used to compared to older keyboards such as the macbook 2015. Of course it all has to be as thin as possible nowadays, but this is at the disadvantage of the keyboard. But maybe I'm an old fart too. I am very satisfied with the macbook pro 2021! It is a pity that upgrades to an SSD are very expensive. If you compare this with a separate SSD storage that you can buy, the prices of Apple are of course insane.. In addition, the laptops are very durable and last for many years more than a cheaper Windows laptop. (I don't have anything on Windows, I have a few Windows systems myself)

Why Apple? I wanted an M1 processor because I hope to enjoy it for years and the latest model and processor provide longer support. The performance of the processor is astonishing, the power consumption is low and the reliability seems to be okay. The M1 processor seems to have beaten Intel. After some deliberation, for this MacBook Pro. This laptop has a lot of cores for CPU and GPU but I doubt if I will really notice the difference in my daily use. First impression: The Macbook Pro comes in the well-known white box with a photo on the front. The box contains the laptop, a cable, adapter and a booklet. Very clean, as you would expect from apple. The installation was very easy, open the laptop and it starts immediately. Everything went smoothly, I immediately ran the upgrade and that was it. Fortunately no plug & pray, no bloatware and no driver problems. What is good: * The screen, wow is that sharp. The YouTube videos in 4k and 8k pop out of your screen. Black is really black. and the contrast makes it almost seem like you're seeing depth. * Speakers, the laptop has a few sturdy speakers in its housing. The sound is robust and not like my iPad Air3 or Acer laptop * A fan? They must be there, but I haven't heard them yet * The speed and stability, nice and fast and smooth. Last week I already edited some videos. Playing, editing and simultaneously compressing and exporting videos is fast and smooth. Even the fans do not start. What can be done better: Is there nothing to complain about then? Yes of course.... * The price, well 2750 euros for a laptop is just ridiculously much money, but you do get a monster of a laptop in return that I hope I will enjoy for a long time. * No ethernet connection, Okay maybe I'm an old fart, but I still use ethernet connection a lot. Well and of course there are all kinds of usb-c adapters for sale. * Weight: the 16 inch laptop is over 2 kg and that is not a portable 13 inch laptop.
