Was The 12 inch MacBook Really THAT Bad?

- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2020
- The most compact and lightest Apple laptop isn't the MacBook Air, it's the 2015 MacBook that lead the way in how thin and light it was, and how much less volume it took up compared to other MacBooks at the time. However, you can't buy the lightest MacBook anymore as it was discontinued last year in 2019, but why was this ambitious thin and light laptop with no cooling fan canceled, and could it be making a comeback soon?

What do you think of the 2015 12 inch MacBook?
It was a great design but very underpowered but with arm chips, it might be awesome.
Camera Kid iPad
My brother’s doesn’t work anymore! It needs repairing, but I think 💭 he’s getting a new one! ☝🏼
True... it would be so much better with ARM.
best macbook design ever in my opinion
this needs to have a comeback with the m1 chips
Ironically this MacBook came with the m3 chip made by Intel
If it comes nobody will buy it unless they price it similar to macbook air
With slimmer bezels and better webcam = perfect laptop
@@spoompls42069 Bezels are fine for the size but yeah, it will need to have at least a 720p camera. Magic Keyboard is a must too!
Why?
This MacBook will come back with arm, it was ahead of its time, intel couldn’t keep up
The entire point of this particular macbook was thin light for word processing and light video editing why bring this macbook back when you can finally make the macbook air even thinner it makes more sense to thin out the macbook air rather then bring this product back and judging by Apples decsion to not refresh this product kinds proves the point
Alex Meek this device and the MacBook Air hit two different markets, whatever the point was for this one couldn’t be achieved due to the cpu being weak and cpu thermals being an issue, both of those are solved with arm. This is the reason it wasn’t refreshed.
@@txkingg except the market this product could hit the air already hit
Alex Meek not really, the 12inch MacBook was smaller and had no fan. If they release it again it will also be cheaper than the air.
@@txkingg 12 inch Macbook wasn't about the price. It had better screen, new keyboard (that wasn't known as turd at the time) and it was completely silent. It was premium product, not the main machine but one for people who needed second computer to go besides their powerful one. Kinda iPad pro 12,9 with keyboard. Which, unfortunately, has brilliant technology inside but still has case made out of Swiss cheese that will bend into banana if you look at it sideways. One might think they do it on purpose to clear the path for new 12" Macbook ...?
If they bring it back, I personally hope they will do the same and giving us thin and light premium computer running full mac OS. There's already everymans cheap Macbook and that is Air. Right now Apple is actively encouraging customers to not upgrade Air and keeping its price as low as possible. Apple offers 4-core i5 and i7 upgrades for Air but has cleverly equipped Air with such inadequate cooling solution that 4-core Air will whine like crazy even if you look RUclips videos on it. "Know your place, cheap peasant. If you can't afford Macbook Pro then i3 is enough for you." 🤣
"They laughed at me back then, now I bathe in their blood!"
2020 ARM MacBook
Technology
You can buy it in the Apple certified refurbished section
“I’ll be back!”
Maybe I should have said that at the end 🤦♂️
Future Greg needs to travel through time and visit more often 😂😂😂
😂 😎
@@Just-View lies 😮
I’ve got a 2017 m3 12” MacBook. Still runs great and does everything I need a laptop to do! I’ve got a desktop to do heavy work. My only complaint is the webcam. Even a 720p webcam would make this probably one of the best laptops ever made, in my opinion.
Yeah, it was highly under-spec'd for the price at the time but you luckily can find it for cheap on eBay.
Hi, I know it’s been a long time so you probably won’t see this but there are applications like EpocCam that let you use your phone as a webcam for your Mac or pc so that you don’t have to deal with apples crappy webcams. Best wishes!
@@lincolnflick7535 thank you! Apple released their own app as well, allowing iPhone cameras to be used as webcams. Though personally I use an old DSLR on a tripod for a webcam
Hows the performance of photoshop and adobe illustrator on that 2017 m3 12”
That terminator cameo had me in stitches. Been following you for a while, and I’ve always been a fan, but now you’re easily among my favorite 😂 Your videos have gotten funnier and more insightful - keep it up!
Thank you so much 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it!
I have one and have used it for fairly intensive tasks and it performs admirably. Far better than most gave it credit for.
I bought a 1.3 GHz 12” MacBook at the end of 2015. I liked the force touch trackpad and the retina display much more than the MacBook Air alternative. Even the butterfly keyboard was no problem for me... overall I think it was a great MacBook.
I was just about to sell mine. Now I have decided to keep after watching future Greg. It is so light.
😎 Future Greg loves light Macbooks.
@@GregsGadgets yeah my mom buy one since it come in gold... she move to ipad so i using it on the bed... using cover on the keyboard and no fan so i can tell it work fine.. still don't bother upgrade to catalina.. overall... overprice... but as a hand me down.. good battary.. good sound.. stable... crash from time to time.. but rarely... but one it broken... i won't bother fixing it...
I was in the market to buy a refurbished 12-inch MacBook to use a lite-use, travel, laptop for simple tasks instead of carrying around my Pro. I saw SO many negative reviews on RUclips and almost didn't buy it because of that. I am glad I took a chance and bought a good condition one on eBay for a low price. I don't understand what all the hate is? I mean, it's a no-brainer that this laptop is not meant to be a monster laptop so I get why so many reviewers give it such a bad rating. Of course they wouldn't use this for content creating. I wish there were more reviews from ordinary people. People who don't need endless ports, don't want to connect to monitors, don't need to use a webcam. It would have been great watching a review from someone who gets that people literally just want a basic, beautiful, thin, and portable computer to watch movies in, check email and do some shopping. Simplicity at its finest. I am loving this laptop. Glad I took a chance at it.
I truly appreciate your video of this 12 inch macbook in 2020. I've been using the 2016 macbook for 1 year and still really happy with it, light, elegant and competent. I'm actually searching to see if editing video on this tiny mac is possible and your video (with a non relating title) help me out wonderfully. Thanks!
watching on my 12 inch macbook 2017
Nice! 👍 How do you like it?
@@GregsGadgets i love it. its very thin and light and most importably its so sleeek!!!
and i only use it to watch youtube and surf the internet and check some pictures taken with my iphone. it still fast for me.
@@Korean_Yoon i wanna buy it
Is it slow or fast action
@@arin7283 if you use it like me it will be ok
@@Korean_Yoon appreciate it
I love the edge to edge keyboard just looks great imo
Yes i’d love to see a 2020 Review of the 12” Macbok!
I loved this MacBook. As soon as they announced Apple silicon I thought of this.
The weak point was definitely the intel processor. Not just the slow benchmarks, but without a fan, it throttled under any load to about half its capacity.
well it for light work... yeah intel processor suck but no fan... no noise... no dust build up... since the heat will push it all out anyhow...
You know they got rid of the 12” MacBook because they gave use a iPad with a Magic/Smart Keyboard
iPad with magic keyboard is heavier than the 12” MacBook. 🤭
@@GregsGadgets oooooooo put some ice on that burnnnnn let's goo Greg!! what a roastt
@@GregsGadgets is it heavier than 11" with keyboard?
Only the iPad keyboard is heavier than whole Macbook
The reason I bought this laptop was:
1. I still had a desktop which I used daily for more demanding work.
2. The work synced automatically with that machine.
3. The MacBook Pro at the time still only had old ports and I wanted to start the transition to USB-C which is the port that is available on the two Macs I have bought since.
I LOVED my 12 inch Macbook. After working on a clunky 2010 Macbook Pro for 5 years, the 12-inch Macbook was downright sexy and genuinely fun to use. I actually liked the 2nd gen butterfly keyboard a lot (the sound the keys make are so ASMRish), and never had a problem with performance. I ended up selling it to get a Pro since I needed to do more graphic design, which is not fun on a 12" device, but I do miss it a lot.
Yes I just upgraded to the M1 MacBook Air after having the 12 inch MacBook since 2016. It was so nice but it was just not cutting it anymore. I still miss it tho
Still have and use my 2017 MAcBook. Absolutely love it. Got it for Uni and was an absolute dream compared to carrying my 15” 2013 MBP around 👍🏼 RIP
I love the size factor of my 2016 macbook 12. Retina screen, no fan, no hotness, good performance, super light. I run multiple Safari and Chrome tabs, google docs, skype, zoom calls etc without much trouble. I don't even notice I carry it. The butterfly keyboard is shocking though. I have to forever dislodge dust from it, turning it upside down and banging on the keys with people looking at me funny and typing is utterly frustrating,. My space bar is constantly jamming up. The one USB port is awful and it has failed now on all USB devices and can only be used for charging and the fact I can't connect an external screen means I have to grudgingly buy an MBA. With a magic keyboard, a couple of properly functioning USB C ports and M1 chip this would be a beast.
I had one of these... Was a great ultrabook. Ultra portable, but you made sacrifices like ports and being underpowered. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
I sold my 2016 MBP and bought a 2017 MB 12. Still using it, loving it. I wish they would make a new MacBook 12 with lesser bezels with M1 onboard.
I wish the would release it again with the m1 chip I always wanted this form factor but then they discontinued it. 😭
The 12” MacBook is light as a feather!
I use a 2016 macbook, it's awesome, would never replaced it with anything from the current 2020 line up
I love my 2017 MacBook. I needed something ultraportable and it works perfect for what I use it for. Seems like most of the people that actually own one like them a lot.
I owned one and completely loved it. Edited videos with Final Cut Pro and music also Logic regularly. Although Final Cut got very slow by 2019, but 1080 and 30fps wasn't that bad. Yes I needed to let it render for "abit" but it did its job. Also people thought it was a newer computer than it actually was since it's design aged really well.
My favorite Apple device ever. I still love my 2015 MacBook. Also, it has a headphone jack on the opposite side as the single USB-C port, which is very useful. Mine is the build-to-order 1.3Ghz. I will be the first lined up to buy the replacement for this if they do one with Apple silicon. It’s the weight and silence of this device that really makes it really special.
the 12-inch MacBook is still my favorite design/form factor.
I just bought a 2020 13 MBP. But I still have my 12” MacBook, I’ll never get rid of it. 0 issues and I love the size and portability. If it had 2 usb-c ports I would have never upgraded.
I really hope this macbook comes back later this year or in 2021, but with apple silicon and magic keyboard, it would be such a good deal, fantastic battery, no fans, temps not getting to high and a really portable machine, great video Greg, cheers from Brazil!
Got this Macbook in May 2016 and I’m still using it in April 2021. The battery life can be rough at this point but this is a great computer as a college student.
How long does it last today?
This is an amazing computer! I was away from Mac for 7 years, and I so happy I came back with this Air! I wasn't sure about buying it because of the heating issue... But it's a bit exaggerated to be honest! I'm a heavy user, I open 7,8,9 and even more safari tabs, with several pdf files, and even using Autocad, and the temperature donest go above 60°C! The only problem is during Google meets ot Zoom meets... But it's not so bad to be honest... After a 3 hours meeting, the temperature will be between 80 and 90...but it doesn't bother me.
I loved my 2017 12" Macbook, it had an i7 with a crazy fast 512GB SSD. The i7 model is night and day difference from the M processors... No issues with heat, or the keyboard, or anything. I still regret selling it...
I got an i5 512gb for cheap . Cus the display isn’t working properly just reconnected the cable .
I still use my 12" macbook everyday in 2021. It still has the best battery and performance I've ever had in a recreational use laptop. I got use to carrying around the port.
hey!! one thing you forgot to mention is the amazing sound quality this macbook had. If i miss something from this model (apart from how incredibly light it is) it's the amazing speakers it had. really made a difference.
I still use my 12” MacBook more than any of my Mac’s. I edit photos and video in FCPX and Capture One with little to no problems. It’s just so light and convenient to carry around the 12” MacBook than my 2018 MacBook Pro 13”. I really wish Apple would bring back an upgraded 12” MacBook.
I love that MacBook, I hope some day in the future it returns with apple silicon.
There is rumours that it might even replace the MacBook Air
now with m1 chip
I loved my 12" Macbook... I live in hope that it will come back with Apple silicon...
Do you have any problems with the keyboard?
I love the design
And plan to get one
Fajar Kurniawan not the best typing experience compared to a decent keyboard, but I didn’t have any issues
@@fajarkurniawan9434 It’s a horrible laptop in my opinion, the keyboard is very unsatisfying and it doesn’t feel like you’re typing, also it’s very flimsy, it could get easily bended and scratched. I do not recommend it whatsoever. You should go with the MacBook Pro or the Air instead.
I have the macbook air 2018 and prefer 12” macbook. Need them to come back
I'm still rocking the 2017 12" macbook with i7-y series chip as my daily driver (with 16gb ram). As a software developer it works great for me. Never had an issue with the keyboard either.
Still using mine and love it! Debating buying the new MacAir M2 but I can't seem to want to part with the size and portability of this one! It still works great (yes even with the keyboard)! When I'm home, I connect it to a 2nd screen, keyboard and magic mouse and I'm set for office work. When I want to work elsewhere, I just bring the laptop. They need to bring it back!
I love my 12 inch M5 2016. I use it for VMware and other power tasks with no issues, I selected it because it was fanless and super portable. You got 8GB RAM and 512GB storage too with the M5 vs the MBP13 or MBA 128GB! The biggest problem at launch was the lack of USB C accessories with power passthrough so it was too ahead of its time with 1 port. At launch the new Macbook Air actually makes no sense as was same weight and size as the MBP13 nearly (people bought the name) and the Macbook was still the true new MBA. Now the MBA2020 makes some sense due to price, keyboard, sloped design and true tone, but has terrible thermals. I also bought and returned the MBP13 butterfly as the edges cut into my wrists (maybe the scissor one will solve that).
So does Arnold Greg have a crush on Luke too?
No 😎
The relationship was tuhminated.
@@GregsGadgets LIES!
Been using one since 2016 and love it. I have an uppercase keyboard protector and I have never had an issue with the keys.
I have macbook12 2017. It works perfectly. It light, small and can handle my editing work.
I have been enjoying your channel. Your videos are helpful and informative. My Apple knowledge has increased through watching your videos. Keep up the excellent work. Blessings on your day.
Thank you so much, Jeff 🙏 I hope you have a great day as well!
I absolutely adore my 12" MacBook. It's the perfect size for people with smaller hands. I used to have a 2012 Pro but it was just too huge for me to handle. I'll probably replace my 12" with an Air at some point, but I just love the 12" form-factor. It's the PERFECT size.
I'm an engineer who has traveled extensively for business. I have a corporate Thinkpad, but I don't mix work and my personal stuff and side gig. So, I often carried 12" MacBooks because carrying 2 full size units is a drag.The 2015 was pokey. The 2016 was better. The 2017 is pretty darned good, and I still own a 2017. The middle tier of each year was the sweet spot between processing power and thermal performance. Your point about FCPX is true. It works. I had a Parallels VM on these, too. Giant spreadsheets? No problem. The Y series CPUs aren't barn burners, but they do cross the finish line. They were so much better than most folks gave them credit for.
this is the kind of reviews we need. 5 years later with lots of hindsight and lots of satire.
Hey really funny video Greg! And I liked the format and the retrospective style and look forward to more videos :)
I got this for my wife this year. She was taking some college classes and it’s done great for all she needs it for. She does zero photo or video editing, and doesn’t even watch tv on it.
this was ahead of it's time, and the best portable laptop I've ever owned. they should've continued with this model knowing that they were going to release M1. I bought the MacBook Air and it's clunky and bulky and returned it immediately
I like how we're calling MacBook Airs bulky now. All joking aside, the 12 inch MacBook was really thin. I've yet to see anything like it.
Speaking from the future, unfortunately nowadays only counts bigger screen size. Why they did a 15 MacBook air? I really hope it will have a comeback. I still use mine and I love it and I will not upgrade to another MacBook until there is a successor.
Okay, I wasn't really sure if I imagined that future Greg scene or if it was real. So confused after that.
I'm still rocking one of these!
I almost recycled it once when it got lost in a stack of magazines.
Literally watching this on my 12” 2016 MacBook. I love it and I would much rather have it than a 13” or a 15”
Helo, are u use bigsur bro?
I luv my 12 inch so much. I use it for college and making beats lol
Please do a quick review of using it in 2021! How it works for basic work on Big Sue, would be awesome as there’s nothing like that on RUclips and there are still many of these around with the 8Gb/256Gb base memory and storage specs of what the basic M1 Macs have today. So would be very interesting to see..
I’m still using one of the later 12” MacBooks, with a bit more power (1,3 GHz i5) and a later version of the butterfly keyboard.
It’s an elegant, light, and utterly silent little machine that actually works pretty well for light computing. It does require some patience when switching between apps, there are times when I wish the screen were a bit bigger, and if I were typing something really long I’d prefer one of the new magic keyboards. But it’s insanely portable - to the point where it’s easy to lose track of in a stack of papers.
And did I mention silent? Love the fact that it has no fan.
And again, so light. One of my friends joked (fondly) about it being like a refrigerator magnet. Really it deserves the moniker “Air” far more than the current MacBook Air.
I wonder if Apple will resurrect this size laptop? Seems like there would be room for such a device in Apple’s lineup if the 13” Air bezels were narrowed to allow a 14” screen.
Thanks for the review!
We love future Gred. Nice Arnold accent too. 🤣
I used this Macbook for heavy development work (including docker) for about a year(if not more). Only thing I do is to keep it on a wet Towel when it begins to get Hot. It worked just fine. I love the Macbook
You do programming web dev with this macbook?
I own the 2017 i7 model with 16 gb of RAM, I got it in 2020, and it is my absolute baby. And I wish people would talk about the higher end ones, because this one is very competent. The 256 GB SSD is slower than the 512 one, and I own the 256 one, but looking for the Rose Gold with all the specs you desire can take a minute.
I absolutely love how compact it is, the edge to edge keyboard, and to me is the best looking MacBook they ever made.
Techinaically , you can *still * buy a 12 in MacBook , you'll just need to get it second hand or refurbished . Anyway great video ,Love from South Africa
Technically yes you are correct lol.
Love your vids bro
Keep up the good work!!
Thank you, bro 🙏
I'm watching this on my early 2015 MacBook. and it works great for what most people need to use the web and type papers.
still using macbook m3 even now and it gives me 7 hours of battery and its awesome
I hope they relaunch 12 inch in 2020. I want it for college and it would be perfect. Weirdly 13 inch is still too big for me.
You're hitting a new video zen and I like it.
Thank you 🙏
I still use this Macbook today. Even with its drawbacks I absolutely love it and cant imagine buying as bigger laptop. Once you go ultraportable you never go back.
im thinking about buying one but im nervous. Can you tell me if it can run apps like discord smoothly?
@@kkobejiii Yea, I run several apps on my laptop and they all run smoothly.
I know it’s been 3 years since you did this video but I’ve moved over to using the 2017 12” (core i7, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD) exclusively a few months ago (in 2023). I bought the 14”, 2023 MacBook Pro Max and it was too big for me. Then I bought the 2022 MacBook Air and still felt it was too big so I pulled the 2017 12” out of the closet and I’m running Ventura as well as Windows 11 (through Bootcamp). This doesn’t have the blazing speed that the Pro or Air has but it is sufficient for my IT and development needs. I have no complaints regarding the keyboard either. I actually prefer it to keys with a lot of travel. Will be looking forward to upgrading to Sonoma when it comes out. Oh, i’m also running Parallels with Windows 11 but ended up going to Bootcamp so it could fully utilize all the RAM and CPU cores. Running Windows 11 in Parallels is a bit slower since I can only dedicate 8 GB RAM to it (unless I go up to the Pro edition). I do hope that Apple brings this back with either the M1 or M2 chip (and another thunderbolt port.)
I loved my 12" MacBook - but as soon as I tried to edit videos, it became entirely impractical: absolutely zero headroom. I now have an M1 MacBook Pro, and it's a perfect compromise between performance and size. Notably, there are no keyboard problems.
Man! That sad scene! You’re never so funny usually! 🤣🤣☺️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I try sometimes! 😅
GregsGadgets since your videos are like 10-15 mins usually it’s good to include a joke or 2! Also, I love the butterfly 🦋 keyboard! ⌨️ My brother’s 12” MacBook’s keyboard was 100% fine! They messed up in 2016! In 2019 they FIXED EVERYTHING and the butterfly 🦋 keyboard ⌨️ was fully fixed! Also, 480p camera is liveable, but come on!!
Thanks for the feedback, i’ll try to include some more less serious moments in future videos. Yeah i’ve also never experienced a broken butterfly keyboard. Guess I have good luck 😅
GregsGadgets same with my bro! My sight goes to ur hair cause I love ur style! It suits u the best! Also, what country u from and how old are u?
I actually love the butterfly keyboard my 2016 arrived today and I don’t regret anything..... yet
This video really gives me a positive perspective of the 12 inch MacBook. Really good critical thinking here Greg!
Thank you 🙏
I’ve watched quite a few of your videos, but it was future Greg that just got me to click that subscribe button. Bring him on more often, he’s funny :)
I just bought the 2017 Version waiting for it to arrive, it will be my first MacBook
Please do more of this :)
so how’d it go?
How did it go? Keyboard still working?
How is it
Watching is on macbook 12 2017, i do hardcore design work on this using sketch and illustrator along with video editing. Love this little machine
I think the 12 inch MacBook is pretty awesome. It was my first Apple laptop ever. I've had it for five years and it's still working fine. And the fact that its the rose gold version and discontinued makes it more of a nice little memorabilia. I've also just bought the 2020 MacBook Air and as Im typing right now, the first time I'm experiencing the magic keyboard, this is 100 times better than the butterfly keyboard hands down.
12 inch MacBook replaced my 2021 M1 Pro and the differences are very little
I had a 2015 MacBook, traded in a 15 inch Retina at the time. Lord was it a mistake, it choked on more than 4 open Chrome tabs.
Please we need an in-depth review about the 12 inch macbook in 2020 !!!!!!
I love watching people get things I'll never have.
They need to bring this back but with the new chips.
I traded in my 2016 MacBook to buy a MacBook Air in 2021. While the MacBook was useable, the battery required servicing after 5 years, and I upgraded to the M1 chip MacBook Air. Another thing, it only has one USB-C port
12:26 972 grams of weight is incredible.I'm typing this answer on an Ipad pro 11 with Magic Keyboard right now, it weighs 1106 grams !
I've always been a fan of laptops, but they have to be small and handy. My wish for the future is a Mac Mini for my desk, a Macbook 12 inch with M1 chip for travelling and an Ipad mini in the form factor of the Ipad Pro for in between.
Late to the party here. I have a 2017 8gb, 512gb 12 inch MacBook and have been using it for 3 years as a desktop computer. It does lag at times after I go into certain websites. I do wish I had bought the 16gb ram but even the 8gb had a hefty price tag of $1499 and resale is worthless at this point. But, it still does the job for me and do not plan on upgrading until the Mac mini's have been around for awhile.
Almost 100K subs!
I have the 2017 model and love it! I hope they make an ARM model. I’d buy it in a heartbeat!
can i ask you if it gets overheated? i wanna buy it but ppl keep sayin that it gets overheated
honeymilk Yes, it does. If you plan to use any intensive apps like audio or video editors, it will get VERY hot. Trust me. But, if all you plan to do is surf the web, answer emails, etc. you will be fine. This is because it’s an underpowered processor with no cooling fan. In my opinion, the iPad Pro is the way to go. Especially with Apple silicon on the horizon. Developers will most likely create macOS level software for the iPad. That’s what I’m doing. Hope this helps!
yeah i know but what if you use it for too long like 6hours non stop ? will it get overheated or not
honeymilk Again, that depends on what you are doing. There are a lot of factors. I will say that I have seriously put this thing through it’s paces; and it’s still going strong. I edit video and audio all the time. Very CPU intensive stuff. Sometimes I thought the thing was going to explode. If you do simple stuff for 6 hours, then it will just get a little warm. Honestly, I wouldn’t buy this now with new macs on the horizon. They will most likely be significantly cheaper and more powerful since Apple won’t have to pay Intel $300 per chip. Food for thought.
mine shuts off unexpected even with a cooling fans underneath maintaining the low temperatures, all I did was watching Netflix and youtube..
i have a 12 inch macbook with macOS Catalina and im wondering if its a bad ideea to upgrade to macOS Big Sur. i want to know that if i upgrade the macOS, the performance of my laptop should be at least the same. its a good ideea to upgrade the OS? thx
My dad had a 12 inch MacBook from 2017.
I.
ADORED.
IT.
After upgrading to Big Sur my 12 Inch MacBook 2016
The only reason I wanted this a few years ago is bc I wanted a rose gold macbook lol... I was so basic 😆
I am planning to get the 2017 model with M3 cpu to use it with Windows 11. I wonder how fragile the keyboard is in the 2017 model? I need it only for browsing the web and running a work related app which didn't updated since 1999 so the power isn't important for me.
I’ve lived with this MacBook for 2 years now and I love it. It’s so small and light and it handles making RUclips videos, podcasts and more with no problems at all. Do I have to use a dongle? Yeah but only when I’m podcasting. And its just fine. It’s a perfect laptop for everyday people doing everyday stuff and more. But that keyboard hmmmmm. I’d love to see a new Apple silicon model this month
DAMN great impression with future Greg lmao
Love my 12" Macbook but keyboard has been serviced twice already...if only...
I wish I had money to get one of these, I hope it gets a refresh soon! I couldn’t find one while I was looking months ago
Epic. Epic. Epic. Future Greg needs his own channel.
I'll be back.
I have one. The very first rose gold MacBook. It's very thin and light. My first Mac ever. I'm just testing out how MacOS works 'cause I've been a Windows user since the day I used a computer. So far, I'm lovin it. It's easier to navigate and it's more user-friendly than Windows.
