Must Read: Apple Watch vs Samsung Smartwatch: It’s a War of the Titans
On first look, we were floored by this 12-inch notebook. The thinnest MacBook seen so far, it is also the lightest at 2 pounds. Going deeper, the most impressive bits of the New MacBook are its Retina display, easy-going keyboard, and the Force Touch trackpad. Not to forget, the USB C port as well as the battery design.
Built using aluminium, just like its elder cousin Macbook Pro and Macbook Air, this laptop has a sturdy but lightweight design. The metal deck of the keyboard and the trackpad made from glass are incredibly great specs.
Add to this, it has a 2304 x 1440 resolution to its Retina display, which comes out in the fact that viewing from any angle brings out crisp results.
Typing on the MacBook is a breeze thanks to its slimmed-down keys and the springy deck. Apple has picked the Core M chips to being us this comfort. Given the light weight and the no-noise fan on the new Apple laptop, the performance is slightly slower because Apple could not use the beefier i7 or i5 processors.
However, the 8 GB RAM more than makes up for better load time for apps and quicker multi-tasking. The battery life under optimal situations is 9-10 hours. There are two variants—one with 256 GB storage and another with 512 GB SSD. Both variants will have different processors–1.1GHz Core M chip and 1.2GHz CPU respectively.
