Best I5 Laptop Computer

I was a little concerned about choosing the i5 quad core processor over the i7 that I had in my previous HP computer as I utilize a few adobe programs at a time. So far, I have no complaints with the overall speed, and can't really tell a difference. The screen is also smaller than my last which I was worried would be an issue but I honestly love the portability of this computer!  The Touch Bar is actually way cooler than I ever expected it to be, I think Mac has done a poor job of promoting its capability. And the integration with my iPhone is really awesome. They work together seamlessly and made setup a breeze as it sent a lot of data over to my computer. I was a little disappointed that it took longer to ship out than originally advertised especially since I chose to buy through B&H specifically because they had the earliest arrival date. I ultimately lost out on an entire day of work which cost me additional money, but considering the current climate, I understand and prefer to support local business over large chains. I've only had great experiences with B&H thus far. I just hope in the end this laptop outlasts my previous (also very expensive) laptop. Only time will tell.

The i5 is more than enough. I am no computer expert, but it does everything i want and fast

Best laptop I ever have.

Best experience with a Mac laptop since my original computer, a Mac Powerbook back in the late 1990s. Smoother, faster and a step above my current Mac Mini (16gb ram, 3+GHz, etc.). Does everything in Photoshop quickly and quietly, love the M1 chip and the Touch Bar, which I had avoided and didn't think I'd like but do. Very portable. Very cool. Very happy with my purchase. Those who bemoan the lack of connection ports should be assuaged by the many 3rd party plug-in USB C hubs on the market. They provide USB ports of every description as well as an SD card reader and an HDMI port for your monitor. These things look good and don't detract from the appearance of the computer, many of them look like they were designed to blend in with the computer, because they were.

The SSD drive is everything. This computer is so fast my head spun around. My old computer has the I5 processor too but not a SSD drive for start-up files and what a difference that makes. I also upgraded my RAM from 8gb to 16 gb and that made this computer way faster! Wait till you see the keyboard. Insane

I have a 4th Gen i5 unit that's a kind of a, "Shop," computer, used to look up machine shop specs & plans, order parts & tooling, keep track of customer data, job status, etc. It's nice to have the machine in the shop, rather than have to run into the office every time; I waste a lot of time if I have to run back & forth. The SSD has made the, "Shop," computer quite a lot faster.

Thoroughly impressed with overall speed of computer. Previously I was on an i5 machine and can now render work in premiere pro at least 4x faster.

I have had this product for almost 2 months now and have used it a lot. I have an older i5 Toshiba Satellite laptop and the ASUS-USB-BT500 has worked well on this device. I am completely satisfied with this product.
