Apple Macbook Pro Osx Operating System

I'm a techy who has worked with a windows operating system for over 40 years. I never thought I would venture into or purchase an Apple MacBook of any kind but based on my needs with video, I decided to give Apple a try. What I've learned is I made a mistake by not purchasing a MacBook before now. Within the first week, I was saving time and creating content was oh so much easier. The reason I purchased the MacBook from B&H is because I've used them for years, particularly for high dollar items, and I wanted to get something in my hands immediately. I've never been unsatisfied with their high quality service and their fast response. They didn't disappoint me with the MacBook delivered within 24 hours.

I am a long time Windows user, but opted to try this machine since it could run both operating systems (MAC being a closed system). A similarly configured Windows machine would be much lower in cost, but won't run OX. For a $ (at $ one wonders why this is not offered as part of the software with the machine) the machine can add server software to host websites, file share, have an email server, and the OSX (iPhone style) calandar/contacts integration, instant messaging. While not simple, it is easier to use (but less powerful and flexible) than a Windows based server. I found that in a small office environment intregration with OSX (IPad IPhone) very useful, and this is why I give the machine a 5 star rating (that and the machine is whisper quiet, but still very powerful). The machine comes with NO manual whatsoever. At this price you would expect at least a few pages of paper describing the features of the machine, setup instructions, and a thumb drive( there is no disk drive) that contains more detailed instructions. If you are new to Apple like me you will need to buy an instruction book and introduction to the operating system and to the server (if installed). When you need help, you are directed to your local @ and serviced by an Apple Genius in the same manner (in the same long lines) as IPhone and IPad users. Monitors and external devices are connected through Thunderbolt or USB devices. Thunderbolt technologies can be daisy chained, but make sure your devices have more than one thunderbolt port so that you can take advantage of daisy chaining. The only other wired ports are two network ports. Wireless support for a wireless mouse/trackpad and wireless keyboard, Bluetooth, wi fi, and air play are standard.

Wanted to be sure that I had all the data from a non-operating Macbook Pro before returning it, checked and double-checked that this was the right model for my model of macbook, and it arrived the next day, was easy to use, and worked perfectly. Well worth the price just for peace of mind that I've got all my data copied safely. I'm not using it as an ongoing external drive, but will keep it on hand in case of future computer-breakdown or need to rescue others.

Apple MacBook Pro's have always delivered, and this one is no exception.

This product is perfect for my 13 Apple MacBook Pro.

apple care for macbook pro at a very good price..

Apple keeps doing it, for some reason apple products work best on apple products. I bought a few of these for my MacBook Pro, I have no complaints.

Love this laptop. Replacing my 10 year old MacBook. Still the best operating system

I have used apple products for many years and find that apple care is worthwhile. Especially when updating to a new operating system, glitches happen and the tech support is fast, excellent and always has US or Canadian English speakers. On a previous MacBookPro, the warranty ran out just a day before the issue arose and apple replaced a hard drive and even put in a new battery (which is usually not covered)

New computer required a new Spyder. This one worked well on the new Apple Big Sur Operating system with a new Mac Mini with M1 chip.
