9 Reasons Why I Love The New Space Gray MacBook Pro [PHOTOS]
/I love my new space gray Macbook Pro so much that I felt compelled to share with you 9 reasons why! I have been a mac girl for the past 15 years. I started out with a desktop but when I had to lay that computer to rest I decided to replace it with a laptop. I have had my silver Macbook Air since 2011 so, I desperately needed to upgrade.
Not only did my computer move at a snail’s pace, I literally needed the charger plugged in at all times for it to run. Otherwise my battery would quickly drop down to zero! Regardless to how slow it was, it still worked! This is why I have remained loyal to Apple products. They last a long time!
Last week, I finally upgraded and became the proud new owner of a space gray 13 “ inch Macbook Pro with that Apple M1 chip I saw everyone on Twitter talking about. It has 8 GB RAM and 512 GB storage. I love everything about this new computer. Every time I open it to work I feel like I am in the future, but the reality is I had been living in the past. If you’re looking for a new laptop allow me to share 9 reasons why you should get this one!
1. I saw so many tweets about how much faster the M1 chip helped the speed that I was most excited about this feature. The Apple-designed M1 chip is a giant leap in CPU, (Central Processing Unit) GPU (Graphics Processing Units) and machine learning performance. I love how quickly I click and open things all over. You’re gonna love it, especially if it is an upgrade like mine was. The lightning speed you will experience using this laptop is thrilling.
2. I now have up to 20 hours of battery life to work and without the charger! I used to be tied to my charger because my computer was so slow. This new laptop has the longest battery life ever in the history of the Mac. Whoo-hoo!
3. The 8-core CPU delivers up to 2.8x faster performance to fly through workflows quicker than ever. The speed that I experience with having multiple windows opened while I multitask projects is what I now live for. It makes working so much easier and fast!
4. The HD camera for Face time calls or going live is crystal clear. My reflection in the camera is crystal clear. I immediately noticed how improved the camera was as soon as I opened Face time for the first time. Also, the 8-core GPU with up to 5x faster graphics for graphics-intensive apps and games
5. 16-core Neural Engine for advanced machine learning
6. 8GB of unified memory so everything you do is fast and fluid
7. Super fast SSD storage launches apps and opens files in an instant
8. The fact that I use my finger to unlock my computer! You can’t open it unless your’e me. Touch ID didn’t even exist when I got my first mac book air 11 years ago. I love this feature.
9. There is an emoji bar on my computer! It sits right above my keyboard. The bar also highlights words that I use often so I can just click the bar to insert the word. And my most used emoji’s pop up automatically. I was not ready for that bar, because it was so new to me, but I absolutely love it!
