Its blisteringly quick .
Admittedly the 2018 macbooks were known for crap keyboards but at least apple offered a full replacement . The previous design and the current design don’t have that issue and the current gen also restores a lot of the i/o sockets the previous gen temoved in favour of dongles .
I’ve had my macbooks in jungles one week , arctic tundra the next , on boats , in deserts and rain sodden backpacks . I won’t carry any other laptop. Similarly I won’t have any other phone but an iphone . Over 10 years of reliability is enough proof for me.
Every PC laptop from dell , leonovo , samsung , fujitsu … all had problems within 3 months , dead pixels , dim backlights , usb sockets that stopped working , cracks on the cases , warping on the hinges , don’t start me on the touchpads .
