The 12-inch MacBook may have been first released in 2016, but it’s remained mostly unchanged in the three years since its debut. While the computer has yet to see an update, that doesn’t mean you should ignore it if you’re in the market for a new laptop. With a 1.3-GHz Intel Core m7 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage, the Macbook 12in m7 review 2022 still delivers fast performance while giving you plenty of storage space on top of that.

Introduction of Macbook 12in m7 

The MacBook 12-inch m7 is one of Apple’s most popular devices. Despite its three generations, it’s remained relatively stable. With a 1.3-GHz Intel Core m7 processor, the 12-inch model delivers high-speed performance. The device is portable and comes in three colors: silver, space gray, and gold. And yet it’s also been updated to include a Retina display—the same as that used on larger Apple laptops such as 13 inches and 15 inches —and supports Touch ID for more secure access to all your apps and files. Read on for our full MacBook Pro review so you can decide if it’s right for you!

Screen Quality

MacBook has had a reputation for having great display quality, and it’s no different with MacBook. The 12-inch MacBook features an IPS (In-Plane Switching) display that delivers vivid colors from all viewing angles. It also boasts Retina resolution, which means you can view images at their original sharpness without any pixelation—almost as if you’re looking at them in real life. When you place your laptop on a table or other flat surface, you won’t see any glare thanks to MacBook’s anti-glare screen coating. Plus, Apple ships every MacBook with a high-density screen that ensures your laptop will look its best as it ages.

Display

The display on a MacBook is one of its most prominent features. The display has four different sizes: 11 inches, 13 inches, 15 inches, es, and 17 inches. Apple’s MacBook Pro series has a glossy glass screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800, 1440 x 900, or 1680 x 1050 for 13-inch models and 1920 x 1200 for 15-inch models. In addition to being more durable than standard glass, Retina displays deliver high contrast ratio for deeper blacks and brighter whites. Apple’s ProMotion technology delivers a noticeable improvement in smoothness when scrolling content compared to non-ProMotion-enabled screens. Retina display is available only on macOS Sierra (10.12) or later versions of the macOS operating system.

Build quality

Macs have always been thought of as solidly built and resistant to damage, even when dropped. I’ve had a few experiences with Macs being dropped from an average height of 2 meters (about 6.5 feet) onto solid tile floors and neither suffered much more than cosmetic damage, such as cracked screens or broken buttons. The MacBook 12in m7 is no exception. Despite it being fairly thin and light for a Mac, it feels sturdy and heavy—the kind of weight that makes you feel like you could throw it off a building without breaking anything internally! But you shouldn’t do that since that would void your warranty, but at least you know if there is any accidental damage, it will likely be covered by AppleCare+.

Battery Life

There’s nothing worse than getting to a meeting and finding your laptop has run out of battery life. With up to 10 hours of battery life, you can work through your day without worrying about running out of juice. Having said that, charging still takes a long time; it’s possible to get through a full workday if you make use of power outlets in between meetings and keep an eye on your laptop’s charge level.

 Keyboard

The keyboard is one of my favorite features on MacBooks. The keys are responsive, offer a good amount of travel, and provide sufficient tactile feedback. Plus, I love how quiet they are; there’s very little noise when I type or click a key, even with hard strokes. Over time, however, some keys can become less responsive. If you’re experiencing issues with your keyboard after several months of use, try reseating it to ensure it’s properly connected to your laptop. If you still experience problems after that, then a professional may be needed to replace it for you if Apple won’t do so for free under warranty.

Processor

The MacBook Air boasts an Intel Core i5 processor, which is on par with many desktops. This is one of its strongest selling points—it’s hard to find a laptop that performs as it does for such a reasonable price. You also get 8GB of RAM, which is twice as much as some other laptops in its class. If you want something even more powerful, go for the higher-end MacBook Pro or Surface Book 2. However, keep in mind that that two cost around double what you pay for a MacBook Air!

Memory

MacBook memory is soldered to its motherboard, which means upgrading isn’t an option. With only 8GB of RAM at its disposal, it’s one of Apple’s lowest-end machines. It comes with 128GB of flash storage—which is limiting for many users. MacBook memory can be upgraded, but only by purchasing additional memory from third-party providers or replacing components on your own (likely voiding your warranty). If you need a machine that can run multiple apps at once and hold a significant amount of information for long periods of time, look elsewhere. The MacBook 12in m7 falls short in both categories and doesn’t have any other noteworthy features to speak of.

Accessibility

The new MacBook was designed for accessibility and portability. It weighs only 2 pounds, making it extremely easy to carry around or pack in a bag. The battery life of 10 hours allows you to use it wherever you go without having to worry about recharging. Also, a single charge gets rid of many hours’ worth of re-boot time, which makes sure that you are always connected. If you are not satisfied with its performance, there is no need to worry because Apple provides a one-year limited warranty on all MacBooks and free technical support through phone or chat seven days a week.

Graphics and Video Support

The MacBook Pro is capable of running games and high-definition video smoothly, making it a good option for creative professionals who want to take advantage of apps such as Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premier. It’s also great for those that want to edit photos, videos, and audio on the go. While it lacks an SD card slot and Ethernet port, you can add wireless adapters and USB-C ports easily. And with its high speed—up to 3.1 GHz—and amazing battery life—up to 9 hours on a single charge (for both), there’s no question why many IT professionals are choosing MacBook Pros as their go-to machine on business trips.

Software features

As with all Mac computers, you’ll find software features to be a plus. The MacBook Air doesn’t come with any pre-installed software, but you can buy and download some apps from Apple. That way, you’ll have fun new programs for work and play. You may also want to try a virtual assistant like Siri (available on your Mac or iOS device) or Alexa (for Amazon devices). They can help you perform daily tasks more quickly than other methods. If you get lost along the way, there are many how-to sites that offer step-by-step instructions. Finally, it’s important to keep your system updated so that your information is always secure and protected against malware attacks.

Comparison to other laptops

Apple’s MacBook is a popular option for people looking for a light, portable laptop. Unfortunately, its price doesn’t always make it an affordable choice; most versions cost more than $1,000. But there are other laptops out there that give Apple devices a run for their money. For instance, Acer’s Chromebook R13 has similar features to Apple’s device (and is cheaper), but weighs 1 pound more and can only last up to 7 hours on one charge. You could also opt for Lenovo’s Yoga 900 Laptop or Dell’s XPS 13 Touchscreen Laptop as lightweight alternatives with long battery life—but both weigh 2 pounds more than Apple’s product and lack backlit keyboards.
