مک‌بوک واقعا به درد تو میخوره؟ تجربه واقعی بعد ۱ سال

Main summary

Key takeaways

Product Review

Product reviewed

  • MacBook (specifically MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, with mentions of M-series chips such as M1/M2 and “Air M”)
  • Review is based on ~1 year of real use

Key features highlighted

macOS experience (software / performance)

  • Fast app launching and switching, with little to no delay
  • Very low lag/bugs, especially on M-series chips
  • Efficient RAM management
    • Even with 20–30 browser tabs, the MacBook reportedly does not slow down the way Windows can
    • Apps are less likely to crash due to memory pressure

Finder performance and usability

  • Folder open speed is reportedly not dependent on folder size
    • Example: a folder with ~17GB opens quickly
  • Fast search, described as returning results immediately (the speaker claims it “checks the entire OS” right away)
  • Better nested folder handling than Windows (easier to drag through multiple nested folders)
  • Desktop/folder organization can be customized via drag-and-drop

macOS ecosystem (Apple device integration)

  • Works best if you own an iPhone (strongly recommended pairing)
  • Ecosystem advantages mentioned:
    • iPhone mirroring (cast iPhone screen to Mac)
    • Notification syncing across iPhone/Apple Watch → Mac
    • Calls/answering on the Mac via integration with iPhone/Mac
    • Contact transfer and AirDrop file sharing
  • Claimed result: improves productivity and makes laptop use more enjoyable

Hardware / build & performance experience

  • Excellent build quality: aluminum body, light/thin, premium feel
  • Speakers are very good even on Air
    • High volume with minimal distortion
  • Cooling / heat behavior
    • MacBook Air: no fan; can get warm during heavy exports/3D, but performance drops are minimal
    • MacBook Pro: has a fan; performance drops occur later / during heavier tasks
  • Battery
    • Battery life is a major positive: performance reportedly remains strong without noticeable loss while unplugged (speaker contrasts with Windows)
    • Example claim: editing for ~5 hours after a full charge (travel use case emphasized)
  • Charger / included accessories
    • Includes a ~2-meter cable
    • In-box charging described as ~30W
    • Notes charging compatibility details (USB-C / Type-C mentioned; later Air models reportedly charged with “Macbook Saver,” with earlier models using Type-C)

Pros (unique points mentioned)

  • Very smooth and fast software performance, especially on M-series
  • Excellent RAM management
    • Less slowdown with many tabs/apps
  • Finder strengths:
    • Fast folder opening
    • Fast search
    • Better nested folder support
    • Highly customizable organization
  • Strong Apple ecosystem integration (best with iPhone/Watch)
  • Premium hardware feel, lightweight/thin aluminum
  • High-quality speakers
    • Good volume and low distortion
  • Excellent battery life
    • Performance doesn’t noticeably drop when unplugged
  • Travel-friendly
    • Light weight + consistent battery performance
  • Quiet usage on Air (no fan noise), especially compared with the speaker’s prior gaming laptop

Cons (unique points mentioned)

Finder limitations

  • Finder lacks certain Windows-like cut/move behaviors (speaker suggests you may need a copy + delete workflow in some external-drive contexts)

System/library file access friction

  • Accessing OS/library files is described as harder than on Windows
  • Requires holding the Option key to reach Library

Trackpad/window management (shortcuts critique)

  • Chrome/window management via trackpad shortcuts is described as unintuitive
    • Speaker calls it “ridiculous

Mouse/track support (Magic Mouse critique)

  • Magic Mouse experience is described as poor
    • Scrolling lag/behavior issues
  • Trackpad scrolling is suggested as better
  • Magic Mouse may feel slow/laggy unless you buy an expensive mouse

Connectivity / ports

  • Limited ports, including no USB-A
    • (Also no Ethernet / USB-A is mentioned)
    • Requires hubs/converters, described as inconvenient

Upgradeability

  • MacBooks are described as not upgradeable
    • RAM/SSD upgrades require replacing the whole device

Keyboard cleaning issue

  • Keyboard is described as great initially, but the speaker claims it becomes greasy over time
  • Hard to clean except with the Apple cloth
  • Trackpad/screen cleaning described as similar in difficulty

Gaming and app ecosystem limitations

  • MacBooks described as not suitable for gaming, especially for the value
    • Speaker claims games aren’t available for the price and gamers typically stick to Windows
  • App availability:
    • Mac has fewer apps; speaker estimates 2–3× fewer than Android
    • Roughly 1/10 the number compared to Windows
    • Finding cracks/older/personalization apps is harder (especially from Iranian/foreign sites)
    • Speaker suggests many specialized/personalization apps may disappoint

Comparisons made

macOS vs Windows

  • Windows
    • More RAM-related slowdown and app crashes
    • Performance drops when unplugged (speaker cites ~30% slowdown)
  • macOS
    • Smoother multitasking
    • Better RAM management
    • Faster search/Finder
    • Better battery performance

Mac vs gaming PCs / gaming laptop experience

  • Previous gaming laptop behavior described as:
    • Heated quickly
    • Fans starting after ~30 seconds
  • Speaker claims the MacBook does not behave like that

MacBook Air vs MacBook Pro (cooling)

  • Air: warm during export/3D, but minimal performance drop
  • Pro: has a fan; heavier tasks trigger reductions later

Mac with iPhone vs non-iPhone users

  • Ecosystem benefits depend heavily on having an iPhone
  • Speaker recommends not buying a Mac if you don’t already use iPhone

Numerical / rating-like details mentioned

  • Many tabs example: 20–30 tabs vs Windows advantage
  • Folder size example: ~17GB folder opens quickly
  • Battery/performance claim: ~5 hours editing after charging
  • Windows unplugged slowdown claim: about 30% performance drop
  • Charger power: ~30W (in-box)
  • App availability estimates
    • 2–3 times” fewer apps than Android
    • “Maybe one-tenth the number of apps compared to Windows”
  • Pricing mentioned (contextual)
    • MacBook Air “found for 50 tomans
    • Gaming MacBooks “over 100 million tomans” and not worth it (speaker claim)

  • Biggest day-to-day enjoyment:
    • Performance + RAM management
    • Finder usability
    • Battery consistency
    • Apple ecosystem integration
  • Biggest friction points:
    • Less flexibility (Finder limitations, system-file access friction)
    • Hardware ecosystem constraints (ports, upgradeability)
    • Peripheral compatibility complaints (Magic Mouse)
    • Gaming/app ecosystem limitations

Unique points by speaker
