مکبوک واقعا به درد تو میخوره؟ تجربه واقعی بعد ۱ سال
Main summary
Key takeaways
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)
User experience summary (overall feel)
- macOS is framed as smooth, stable, and responsive for daily tasks (office/web/editing/3D work)
- 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
- Single main speaker (no clear multi-speaker segments)
- All pros/cons and comparisons appear to come from the same reviewer
Overall verdict / recommendation

- Productivity and Apple-ecosystem users
- Especially those with an iPhone/Apple Watch
- Needs focused on office, web browsing, editing, and creative/3D work
- Not recommended for:
- Gaming
- Users needing frequent USB-A/peripheral connectivity without adapters
- Users who rely on upgrading RAM/SSD
- Users expecting Windows-like Finder flexibility or easy system-file access
