This 6.6' (2M) charge cable - with USB-C connectors on both ends - is ideal for charging USB-C devices, and also supports USB 2 for syncing and data transfer between USB-C devices. To conveniently charge your MacBook, MacBook Air, or MacBook Pro from a wall outlet, pair the USB-C Charge Cable with a compatible USB-C power adapter, sold separately.

The Apple 18W USB-C power adapter offers fast, efficient charging at home, in the office, or on the go. While the power adapter is compatible with any USB-C-enabled device, Apple recommends pairing it with the 11-inch iPad Pro and 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd generation) for optimal charging performance. The charging cable is sold separately.

We'll deliver, install and make sure your new washing machine is working. We'll level your washer, plug it in and attach the hoses. Additional charges may apply if not up to local codes or requirements.

Wash your clothes with this Amana top-load washer. The dual-action agitator rolls clothes throughout the entire wash basket while the 680 rpm spin cycle removes water from clothing to dry them faster, and the deep water wash option adds more water during the rinsing cycle. The Amana top-load washer has a porcelain tub to stop clothes from snagging.

It fills then stops, then fills etc. it takes some time. We like it overall, but make sure your using a detergent dispenser ball or something.

Average Joe user here. Its been a while since I’ve had this laptop now. Have had no boot issues, no screen flickering, nothing deal breaking/heart breaking.
For gaming, this is a wonderful piece of tech. I don’t stress it too much, tbh. I run Destiny 2 on this at 1080, 120fps.
Ghosting and tearing isn’t a big issue, nothing detracts from the visual experience. Screen brightness is great, no issues using in a well-lit room but avoid direct sunlight on the screen. Audio, while not the best, will not bother you at all. I work as a sound engineer and audio quality is just fine for the average consumer.
Keystrokes may take a little getting used to, slightly different feel and feedback if you’re used to traditional keyboards. I hook it up to a mechanical keyboard most times so not an issue. Trackpad is wide and pretty accurate. Built-in microphone works surprisingly well. Tested on Discord chat and no one had issue with it. Sat about two feet away from the laptop and clarity was fine.
WiFi is fantastic. Had a few hiccups in the beginning but updating all drivers seems to have smoothed out the issues.
So, Cons. Some of this is personal preference, so keep that in mind.
Temps. Obviously, as a laptop, thermals are an issue. Keep this puppy elevated and the underside fans completely free of obstruction. The slight elevation from the lid is not enough. At its hottest, touching the keyboard felt like a warm seatbelt buckle. Ensure your room has good airflow and is relatively cool. I experimented with ambient temperature by blasting AC in my room to drop it to around 67F. I ran games nonstop for two hours and the laptop was only pleasantly warm at the end of that session (non-stop PvP, Gambit, Strikes, etc for fellow Guardians). If you keep your airflow and temps in the room good, no real problems.
Fans are LOUD. Maybe change the curve/profile in Armoury Crate but they are loud and spin up immediately. Again, this is going to be tied directly to ambient room temperature. They spin up opening Chrome browsers but stay low db until something graphics intensive kicks in. Yes it’s a con but they do a good job keeping thermals in check if you pay attention to airflow and ambient temperature.
There’s this weird snapping noise that comes from the speakers every once in a while. An hour or two in between? While not deal breaking, I sometimes worry if the speakers will blow out whenever I hear it.
Color reproduction is okay at best. For the most part an average joe like me won’t really be bothered by it but if you want to use it for photo/video editing be aware that colors seem slightly washed out/low contrast/under saturated. It’s not terrible but something to keep in mind.
Available ports. I am slightly inconvenienced by the few choices available. A docking station or USB-C hub with additional ports will solve most of those problems.
Touch ID/Log in. It’s.....finicky at best. I’ve reset my fingerprint on it several times since it has an extremely hard time recognizing me. I’ve had best results by only gently laying my finger on the button after saving my fingerprint.
Wishes: I so desperately wish it had an Ethernet port but WiFi is very very reliable so far. No latency issues in gaming or Discord chatting. Built in camera for video conferencing would have been nice but wholly unnecessary. Wish I realized this model doesn’t have the AniMe Matrix LEDs. Just an aesthetic choice, really. No detractions.
Overall: great for the average Joe who does not demand much from a portable gaming rig/work station. Sleek, modern, lightweight, powerful. The pros vastly outweigh the cons imo. I recommend changing the battery profile to hold charging at 60% or 80% if it will spend most days tethered to the charging cable. Make sure you only have the graphics card take over for specific applications (games, etc).
Don’t watch p*rn or whatever on it and get viruses. You’ll hate yourself. Treat this piece of hardware kindly and keep it for the long run.

Realtime audio latency? Writing, tracking, mixing.
July 26, 2020
I’ve been looking for someone with experience on this laptop who can comment on Realtime audio latency work. I would be using this for on the go writing, tracking and rough mixing.
I see you work in audio so I’m hoping you have some feedback on this aspect. 95% of laptops have horrible latency.
