People are mentioning things like dynamic range and volume. It’s clearly better in those categories.
But what about clarity?
If you listen to people speaking in movies, or solo singing, are the words as clear as on the older computers?
To me they are very obviously less clear and distinct and easy to understand than on my iPad, iPhone, and even late 2013 MBP speakers.
If I find that the speakers in the store seem sharper and clearer and want to exchange then returning would still be better because an exchange would require over a month’s wait and an extra ding on my card in the meantime.
Not sure what to do, because it’s obviously a vastly improved computer otherwise.
But if I can’t enjoy watching movies on it comfortably… it will bother me forever.
Yet my current MBP is 8 years old and slow and can’t be upgraded to Monterey anymore.
One thought it to downgrade to a MacBook Air and even if that speaker is the same at least listening through headphones wouldn’t bother me as much because the price is so much lower.
But less ports, etc. this is my daily work computer.
Confused about what to do…
Depressed.
