Is it worth purchasing a MacBook Pro?

I owned a Windows laptop which was about 10 months old when I decided to buy a MacBook Pro. It was about 1.2 pounds lighter than my Win laptop, 2x more powerful and 3x more expensive. I had to take a call, is it really worth investing? I did my research before buying it, I will try to go over the qualities I thought are necessary in a laptop.

1. Speed

I am combining a lot of ‘speeds’ under this, the processor power, SSD read-write, boot times, apps loading, excel-word processing etc. I did a quick comparison between a friend’s MacBook Pro and my old windows laptop. I cannot even compare the two, mainly due to different CPUs and drives, but MacBook Pro was going to win anyway due to hardware edge it had.

2. Reliability

My old Lenovo laptop had a flimsy construction overall. The hinges would squeak, the keyboard would make weird noises, CPU fans would start screaming with a bit of number crunching, the screen would flicker for no reason. And mother of all evils, unexpected restarts. I hate it when it just crashes in the middle of nothing. I tried on a library MacBook Pro for varying intensities of loads. It passed with flying colors. It is needless to say that MacBook Pro has the best in class build quality. I haven’t had a single issue with the hinges so far.

3. Screen

Let’s just admit it, let aside the newer 4K displays, MacBook Pro’s retina display hands down beats every possible display out there. Color reproduction is accurate. You don’t feel the images to be washed out or over-saturated. You can open it any time and you will still feel the freshness in the colors displayed. I like it. Some people like the newer 4K displays. I haven’t had a chance to get my hands on one of those yet, so I can’t compare how it stacks against those.

4. It just works

MacBook Pro just works! It seems to have got the right balance of everything. It will never scream. It will never die on you. It will not display weird errors. It will not crash. You don’t have to worry about installing the right ‘DirectX’ or the right ‘Visual C++ Runtime Environment’. You don’t have to find out which anti-virus is the best and pay for it every year. It just works!

5. Battery

10 hours. That’s what I have been running my 2014 MBP 13 every day on a single charge. My oldie would die on me in 2 hours. I have never taken my charger with me to school. It saves the amount of weight I carry around in school. It reduces the number of things I take in my bag. I can fit everything in my bag easily.Win Piriform CCleaner Professional Giveaway (10 x Full Licenses) support by GroupBuy SEO Tools https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner Mention this giveaway part on your blog, and send us link at doogeetop@gmail.com, you can a chance get free Piriform CCleaner Professional V5.30 license.
