I'm torn on this. On one hand I've been using 11" Airs since 2011 and have been waiting for a Retina model for a while but this just doesn't cut it for me.
It's absolutely a sexy laptop but I do work on my Air all the time like video editing, Photoshop and capturing video. Having to carry around a USB-C adapter and USB hub just to have two USB ports to plug in a card reader and scratch drive defeats the purpose of a thin laptop for me. The Core M is a killer fanless CPU but it's still a downgrade in power from the current Air.
I REALLY wanted to like this but it's just not for me. Time to move to the 13" MacBook Pro.
Having 2 or at least one USB 3.0 port(s) would have made it tough to ignore but for now it'll end up more bulky with those attachments.
The second generation will be the one to watch out for if they manage to add the USB ports. Its quite obvious that it'll be more powerful anyway!
***** if all Storage media came with USB C ports, adding USB C Ports would be the thing to do. What I'm saying is they should just add a port or two and make it more convenient to use. Using adapters to use adapters is just outright crazy!
What they should have done is make it a touchscreen with a detachable keyboard (like the Microsoft surface) have it run iOS when I'm tablet mode and Mac OS when docked. Dubbed the iPad pro .. And the just add retina to the MBA line
I feel ya bro haha
The beauty of it is lost the moment you have to use it. Typical apple at it again trying to get away with selling less for more.
Apple just dropped it's new 12-inch MacBook but as sexy as it is, it's an odd machine. *Here are 10 things to know before buying!*
ELIE Hobeika performance/feature wise yes
dude you're always promising this virtual high five to my face but i never see it
Basically apple just launched a "macbook air" woth retina display
Great video! You definitely persuaded me into not jumping the gun and buying one of these. It looks so sexy, but the performance, USB C port, and crappy camera aren't worth it for me. Do you ever sell your old macbook pros whenever you upgrade? I bought a 2009 Macbook Pro on Craigslist and it's been doing well but I feel like it's time to upgrade. I don't know if I'd be willing to shell out full retail price on a new Pro, how much do you think a used 2014 model should run for online? I'm so out of the loop. Lol
Loved it..! 😊
Everything you need to know right here! I'm torn on this one, for the most part it does what I need a laptop to do, but it's an expensive fashion accessory when you can get a 13" MBPr for around the same price. Or you could just rock an iPad Air with a keyboard....which gets you a touchscreen and a 720p camera ;)
not worth it
I would rather get the MacBook air
I have a MacBook Air and I'm still getting one.
^^😒
Interesting upgrade of MacBook line of laptops. For those who were used to these accessories that you could buy and add to eitber a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air. This brings on a big change. Having only one connection for the whole device.
I am a photographer and I was thinking about buying this to use when im on location because of its portability but then I realized its going to require big annoyiing addapters or like 20 steps just to import the footage off my 6D.... its pretty much a toy looks good tho lol
Macbook Pro is for you.
Conor McFadden Thats what I have a 15" RMBP
***** why buy a downgrade when you have an pro?? Sorry bad English.
Nicklas Jensen Skaar my 15 inch is not portable at all and can be a pain when shooting on the go
***** The 1366 by 768 display hurts my eyes cant handle it
I wish people would stop complaining about the MacBook only having one port. For the people that this is designed for it doesn't matter. The average consumer doesn't have a use for external drives and monitors, but if they do, there are a range of wireless alternatives available that do the job perfectly for their occasional use (iCloud, AirDrop, Airplay) . If you're like me and need to use monitors, endless peripherals and accessories to get shit done; this machine obviously isn't for you. Get a MacBook Pro. But I mean seriously, I don't think I've used a memory stick since 2010.
Putting my mini rant aside, great video as always Jon.
What if you wanted to plug in an apple mouse and charge it at the same time? You can't. The one port is a bloody stupid idea.
EpicSeedz I don't see that as being a big issue considering most people have wireless mice now. The only people I see hanging onto their wired peripherals are gamers, and we all know Macs aren't exactly known for their gaming community.
I see your point however. Right now we are still very much wired in; not having the ability to plug in two things at once will be a hassle. But this will just make people more interested in the possibilities of the cloud and wireless alternatives, which looking at the way Apple are marketing this is exactly what they have in mind. Lots of people seem to think they're trying to make you buy their overpriced adapters, but really I think they're trying to force you into subscribing to iCloud. It's certainly the smarter business move in the long run.
Willosaur Because wireless mice don't need a usb port, right? OH WAIT THEY DO.
SomeGuyWhoHasAnUnoriginalName Actually they don't , They actually have bluetooth Mice that connects without a dongle
I watch MKBHD, unboxing therapy and many more youtube channels based around technology. Out of all these I found your channel recently and absolutelly love your content, humour and quality in your videos. Keep making these man. You have a straight pathway to becoming the most viewed tech related page on youtube. Really enjoying every second of the video!
-Egs
7:20 I don't want to complain too much, but you virtual hi-five really hurt my face...
sorry bro
Lol
You're the first guy I see on RUclips that's it's not hypnotized by how thin it is, and adoring the gold color. You actually talk about the advantages and disadvantages that this computer has, congrats body.
Very informative and amazing video, man! I'm overall disappointed by the new Macbook though.
Thanks! and yeah it's an odd product haha.
Saw it, but not sure I like the concept of sacrificing Changer, USB ports,
general mouse, or just about anything, just to get a slim laptop or
notebook and it still costs like an arm or a leg. But we're really not the
target audience so can't say much. Love the display though.
Vaibhav Awasthy agreed. Not for us. I wonder who could make use of this though. It's beautiful and all with a gorgeous display but I don't think it's worth the price tag.
Yeah plus we need audio and video editing from time to time. It won't be able to handle that, the cost is the biggest con, but still after saying all that I would love to have that display. It's a real shame that the didn't considered an average consumer's budget while making this.
Arijit Ghosh I'm guessing lawyers, doctors (not used for work, but during downtime), bankers... Basically professions that pay a lot and are not tech related.
Love the new design, features and the colors. Will definitely buy it when it reaches the MacBook Pro
Definitely!
What I never understand is why people like to talk so much about products they do not like and will not buy. I would never waste my time to write comments about products I dislike and I always have the feeling that those people have to convince themselves that the products they bought are actually better. What the hell, if those people have nothing else to do and no valuable time to spend they have the right to waste their time...
- I waited for the 12" for quite a while. I was always torn between the Air 11" and 13". Now this is the perfect middle ground. I always liked light Laptops so this is around the weight of the iPad 1 and that is great.
- The keyboard looks quite good and it is nice to type on the same size as on my iMac
- I will miss the MagSafe and I wonder why the kicked this great thing. Maybe it is too light to be easily pulled of? Still this a minus.
- I use my Air just when I am outside of my office. I use a program that is not available for iOS so I need a laptop. I also think that a keyboard and a mouse are needed for excel sheets with complicated formulas so using an iPad is no alternative. The only external things that I really use on my Laptop are USB for charging my iPhone or for syncing my Nike SportWatch (Those days are soon over...). So I really do not need more ports.
- The cam is the second little minus but I never use it anyway. When I am in a hotel or on the road I only use Factime with the iPhone or the iPad.
Yes in terms of Laptop Power I am a light user and this Laptop seems pretty perfect for me.
You know a lot of people fail to mention that the updated mac book pro retina 13 inch now has 1866 mhz memory. It now has the same memory speed as the mac pro. Which is a great improvement. Why is this being overlooked by all the tech blogs?
I ordered the gold one, but just saw it in person and it looks so ratchet. Going to exchange for a space gray when I get it lol
The lighting is awesome mate. The reddish tinge is amazing. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
The ultimate $1 300 Facebook machine. Only used by teenage girls at Starbucks to boost their ego.
you guys realize that adapters can either be thought of as pluging into your pc to make it annoying or plugging into your current mouse or what ever your plugging it into and extending that current length meaning its not the macbook thats getting bulkier but the actual mouse or the actual screen cord or what ever it is you need plugged.
The Macbook is such a down grade... The Macbook Air easily out performs the Macbook and the Air gives you those Ports back and the glowing Apple logo. I see no reason to buy this other than the Retina screen and color choices but you can always just buy a black case protector for the air and an external screen.
Probably the only reason would be portability, but the Air is really great at that already. Or maybe no noise due to the fanless design, but that is only an issue for very few people.
I see the MacBook more as a design study to show what is possible in thinness and weight. Exept for the single port which is a hassle for many people this machine will be awesome in a couple of years once fanless CPUs get faster.
MeisterYodarkus I think Apple just went that unnecessary route of what they could do with tech now a days... In my opinion it's too early for something this crazy and thin.
fatmike371 It maybe is a bit too early. As it maybe was the first Macbook Air. It was slow, had only few ports and it was super expensive.
Look at the Macbook Air today. It is fairly priced (for a Mac), has enough ports for most people and is fast enough. I am really looking forward to seeing what comes in the next couple of years from laptops like this.
Or a keyboard case for your iPad.
There's no downgrading. It's a completely new product line. Although it does seem to be more futureproof than many think. Everyone went crazy when Apple took out the CD-ROM from their laptops but now most other companies have followed in their footsteps. It's going to be the same thing with ports. People use cloud storage and wireless sharing already, why not make the inevitable come sooner? The Air is still there for those living in today's world, but the MacBook definitely looks at computing a good 5 years in the future.
Yesterday I wanted to get the new and shiny MacBook despite its bizarre tradeoffs. It's almost 24 hours since its unveiling and I've had second thoughts. Instead I think I might get the 13" rMBP because crucially it has what the new MacBook doesn't, and it works out cheaper (at least in Aussie dollars).
LoL funny to see how your hair looked 3 years ago 😂
Really hate that they discontinued this. A beautiful ultraportable. BTW Jonathan looks really young and trim in 2015.
is apple keeping the macbook 13inch with retina? or are they planing on getting rid of them at some point.
that makes sense thank you!
AllisonRebekeh Apple will not get rid of the macbook air cause having retina display uses more battery. If u want an all day battery life, go for the air but if u want a lot of power, then get the retina macbook pro
i have the macbook pro and i use it for editing videos.
They're continuing the 13 inch macbook pro AND are adding the force touch trackpad to it!
Even though they didn't mention about the 15 inch pro, i feel that there going to do something real big with it and there not going to mention until probably the next apple event
Great Channel Jonathan! Just found it because of your "12-Inch Macbook" video.
This Macbook can't get to the store fast enough for me. Both my home and office have all the computing fully covered. Its in between home and office that have always been frustrated me. First I had a Macbook Air. Nice, but no retina. Then got a 15" Macbook Pro. Loved it, but just too big. Then got the iPad Air, but just could not really do my work on it. I think this new 12" Macbook should be great for using in the hotel, on the plane, and everywhere in between. Small size, sharp screen, and full X OS. My needs are: email, excel, web, music, and watching movies.
For me this was the product Apple was missing.
Question(s): What are those white speakers that you use with your 5k iMac? Do they come with those stands?
Many thanks!
The air out performs this accessory statement by a lot. This computer is just to show people how much money you've got. Buy a Chanel bag, at lest it has lifetime warranty.
Hussain Aziz lmao, could not have said that better.
This is absolutely perfect for a student. If I want to plug in external devices I use my iMac or MacBook Pro. Who edits video on a MacBook instead of a dedicated desktop machine.
Great video!
gracias!
***** de nada ;)
What youre missing out here is these are proven technology on these macbooks. Proven=reliable=quality=longevity. Live with it. I still use my 7 year old Macpro up until now man
a black mac is what ppl want....that would be nice...
I'm so glad I went with the Dell XPS 13 after seeing this review; this thing will look pretty on your desk but it looks completely impractical, the single USB design decision was nuts.
It's nice, but I think Apple made way too many sacrifices for the sake of the device being thin.
The new macbook is an option. They have other computers with ports etc. I just don't get why someone would want a laptop for its "portability" and "lightness" and be upset that it has one port to rule them all. My idea is that the dongle is useful when the need arises, but gets out of the way most of the time. This is, for me anyway, what a laptop should be, especially in this day and age of cloud computing. I tend to like things simplified. On a further note, I would rather have one dongle with multiple connections in one location than multiple wires and plugs sprawled out from both sides of my computer. That's just my honest opinion though. YMMV.
Which MacBook is the best for university I think I will by the new MacBook, but um not sure about this.
right now I'd say the 13 inch pro or 11 inch air
13 inch pro or air. Both are going to be much more powerful and the 13 inch air has amazing battery life.
How should buy the new macbook?
The Macbook Pro is the same price and is a whole lot more powerful. Honestly there is absolutely no reason to pay $1300 for this new Macbook.
Alex Poberezhskiy But it's much portable und light. I just want a perfect laptop for university. This means I will not edit movies or something like this. Im a hobby software developer, who will study something like this.
Fantastic breakdown, Jon! I think I'll stick to my 13" Air, but I'm thinking about upgrading just to get the new trackpad and the new chips.
idk if it it just me but your voice didnt feel like it was coming from the person in the video (which was you)... it feels strange
What? lol
***** lol im not even joking. maybe i'm just weird. ignore me :)
PCheezo xD I see what you mean
Me too
That's called a very good microphone
The Yoga 2 is the same price and carries the same processor. You also have the Surface Pro 3 that sits around the same price point. While I understand that It also has a touch screen , it restricts or limits you on how or rather where you can use it ,because of the kick stand. It would have to be used on a flat surface. The Google Pixel is the same price also , and while it has 2 USB-C ports , it's a Chromebook that's bigger thicker and heavier.
For me, this is just an iPad Air with a keyboard
Jonathan, please put the new MacBook through some real-world tests. I won't question how awesome the screen is, but I would like to know how well it performs with some heavy tasks. Run a VM on it. Edit some video. Anything else you can think about that will exercise the hardware.
Anyone who buys this will be paying $1300 for a netbook with an Apple logo. And the Apple logo isn't even back-lit!
people really love that back-lit logo lol
***** I do, if I were to buy this laptop (I won't because I'm a power user and this laptop will never meet my needs) I would have preferred it was 1-2mm or whatever thicker so I could have the back-lit logo lol
Yesterday after school I checked the Apple Store app and the one thing that got me upset was the fact that the FaceTime camera was only 480p. I would've expected it to be an HD camera considering its a new model~
Under power, over priced.... Mobile processor? No USB? No SD card reader? Ok am i seeing this wrong; if this device is meant to be portable, yet you need silly dongles to do anything productive. Dont we have Tablets for Portable media? Or phablets and even regular phones for this kind of stuff? Its like they made a $1300 Netbook with a fully (and even still) under powered processor.... like my Oneplus One has better CPU specs and that things a phone and to top it off it only cost me $350..
Would i consider buying this device ever, or devices like it in the future... No Never. Ill stick with my 2015 xps 13 thank you very much.
A Thinkpad X250 or T450s is a better investment than this POS.
Mr Mike Most importantly, the new Dells have Windows 8, which is what I have been suffering through for over a year now, and is why I am switching to a Mac. One of the best selling points for Macs, at least for me, is that it's NOT a Windows machine. Microsoft has probably sold more Macs than Apple's advertising has.
I just love it when people assume the only possible explanation for someone disagreeing with them is that they're ignorant. Nice try, Mad Mike, but I know how to use a PC. Been doing it for many, many years. And now I'm done. Enjoy Windows 10. I hear it's going to be awesome!
Mr Mike
I never said I didn't know how to run it. I said I don't like it. Big difference. Windows 8 is crap. That is my educated opinion. You disagree. Fine. Use it. Enjoy it. But don't assume that those of us who dislike it just don't know how to use it. Some of us know how to use it very well and STILL hate it.
Mr Mike
Well, in all fairness, it's not everyone's fault you don't know how to use a Mac. :-)
HD 5300 aint that bad, I did extensive testing on it and it runs most popular games on low to medium which is actually pretty awesome considering you don't have to be pluged into power want to know more click on my abs lol.
did anyone notice the "that's what she said joke" on 0:50
Brilliant summary and information, thanks for sharing. It looks like the USB -> USB-C adapter doesn't even have a pass-through for charging. The other two adapters do, so you can connect "stuff" and charge at the same time.
Oh damn that's definitely a bummer. Thanks for the nice words tho!
Hey everyone! Apple just dropped the new MacBook, and it broke :( . But now it's .0001 of a nanometer thick! And we raised the price to $3000, and we didn't change the specs at all. You know you want one, so come on to Apple.com so you can get yours. Oh and we have a new deal, buy 2 MacBooks and get an apple with a huge bite mark in it!
+Cash Dunn lmfao
Your video quality is phenomenal. Content is spot on, too. You've got a sub.
So basically you're paying outta your ass for what is essentially a netbook........good job Apple, good job...
People can say what they will about this machine, but I absolutely love it. It does everything the iPad Pro can't. On the other hand, if you're a graphic designer, you may opt for an iPad Pro.
How's this different from a Chromebook?
It's hella expensive. :)
The lack of touchscreen
Don't forget that reflective Apple logo and $1000 surcharge for OSX and Apple support! >_
Chrome book runs the chrome browser. This runs a full OS. The best OS in the world perhaps
Bob Nicholand Did you just call Apple's operating system the best in the world...................................................................................................................................
Great video. I do a lot of programming along with video editing and photo editing. Do you think it is better for me to stick with the MacBook pro line? I am replacing a old Macbook Pro. Thank you in advance.
I hate the colors...
Silver: Too Original. Need something new.
Gold: You don't wanna be that guy.
Space Gray: Reminds me of piece of shit Windows...
What killed it for me is the FaceTime camera. I don't mind having a couple adapters since I only plan on using this laptop for basic stuff and I wanted a Retina screen. Looks like I'll have to settle for a Pro.
my advise! to all of you, Don't Buy it.
Carlos Neto
Because, reasons.
I have the 2nd gen mba with two usb (just nice) and only 4 hr battery ..huge improvement in battery life now
haha 0:50 that's what she said
Nice vid bro! Will you be testing the new MacBook Pro Retina 13"? Really interested in the graphics of them
Your title implies that people should still buy this thing. Why you would shepherd your audience to such a terrible, overpriced and valueless product is beyond me.
People are going to buy this regardless, I'm laying out all the facts.
***** then the title should be "10 things you should know before you even consider buying xyz"
bullshit
This video can change their minds
I agree
I had a Macbook Air since 2011 and it never disappointed me until I upgraded OS system to OS10.10 the effect just got leg, even my new 13 inch Macbook Pro has the same problem too. I think apple should really improved on this
i liked the video even before watching it :P +Jonathan Morrison
woooo :D
***** Same here!
TheQuadraticGamer (QG^2) + HTCT dope!
IKR, great video but a horrible product (macbook clocked at 1.1 ghz)
u.a.siva Subramanian Congratulations.
Thank for the great review! I need a notebook to carry to work everyday. I have an iPad and have not used it more than a couple of times. I don't believe that physical keyboard and trackpad are comprisable.
So bottom line. Buy or pass?
Why are Apple fanboys on RUclips if RUclips is owned by Google, which made Android?
***** Your profile picture though. I have apple devices, but I still have common sense of what is good :]
Puda8861 It used to be a picture of the Apple logo crossed off in red.
Cuz..... Illuminati
Sent on my IPhone
ToonyCraft Google did not make Android. Please get your facts right.
What ports does it have? I only saw the one charging port on the one side, idk whats on the other.
It has 2 ports usb c and headphone jack the usb c port is also for charging so you'll need an adapter to use normal usb and sd!😊
Really great job on the video, man! When I was watching the Apple Live Event (Spring Forward) and I saw the new MacBook I originally thought: great, now my MacBook Pro Retina is going to be outdated. But now that you've wrapped up that it isn't as powerful as my Pro, I'm okay about it. I do however think the new MacBooks are completely gorgeous machines. The space gray is a beaut! Again, great video -- looking forward to you doing a hands-on video with the new MacBook!
Why they didn't just redesign the Macbook Air to look like this I will never know. And they gave us a 480p camera so that next year they can come up with a "brand new 720p" camera and have another feature. They cripple the features on purpose just like all their products.
After watching you preview of it, I'm quite happy sticking to my 11" MacBook Air. Does the job for me when traveling around the country. Though the new track pad does sound quite interesting!
Yeah, I'm curious to check out the new trackpad
Function over form, apple... Function over form. Will they update the regular airs now? I love my 13 inch air and all it needs is a 1080p screen to be the perfect laptop.
great video! Im thinking about replacing my mid 2011 MBAir with the new MacBook (space grey of course)! what do you think?
I come from an 11inch air i7 macbook air with 256 ssd and I actually really like this new macbook. it represents everything I want from a laptop. Sure the speed could be better and more ports as well as price but I like it enough to keep it over my air and thats coming from an 11 inch i7 variant this says alot.
I can still game on the new macbook on low to medium based on the testing on did on my channel and I can still video edit/render. so than whats the problem. a hub may be an extra device that attached to my wired mouse but I still don't mind enough,
this new macbook represents a different slice/market of individuals that demand there laptops to be "nicer" with premium features and thats something I really like.
How ever Next years model needs more performance Or I will not keep it.
I think they might drop the Air line and go back to just MacBook and MacBook Pro. Also have they shown the power adapter for the new 12" would be so nice if they included a usb-c port on it so you can charge and use a usb drive but they probably won't.
Will wait for the 2nd or 3rd iteration. Hopefully it will come with a 1080p camera, and at least 3 ports.
I'm down with thinness but when it comes to compromising my ports it's just not worth it. I'm happy with my lenovo t440s. It's thin and light but has three USB ports, a display port, a full SD slot, and a VGA port.
Great rap up of all the different aspects of the new Macbook though. Loved the video
Owais Ulhaq Thank ya sir
recently i have been going to the online apple store to check for weekly deals on mbps (especially on the refurb store), and something interesting that happened after releasing this new macbook is that for some reason, apple increased the price of the standard 13 inch macbook pro and the retina models by $200+ both in the refurbished and student store... im surprised how people continue to buy their products
If it can do Photoshop and Lightroom I want one. Not worried about low res video camera. Never used the one on my MacBook Pro. USBc will be everywhere soon I bet.
it looks impressive that it can go that slim and Im a big fan of usb-c but it has similar specs to my 3+ year old laptop
This is a total consumer based laptop for the ecosystem where all the user's principal photography and video is done with an iPhone, with heavy reliance on iCloud and iCloud Drive, thus, hardly any real i/o on this device, if you are trying to get along with just the charge cable and not a lot of adapters. I would have to go with the Macbook Air in order to have an essential SD card slot for my non-iPhone photography.
Great review! Nice upgrade but I won't be going out and getting on. Just not cool to have to buy an adapter for this new MacBook!
I'm heading into my first year of university and need a new laptop. How well would this fair for note taking, research, and essay writing? I don't really do any video or photo editing, save for the odd imovie thing, and I'm not too concerned about the usb-c port as I never really had a need for a USB port anyway. Also all day battery is a must.
I think they should've put the retina Display, the new Keyboard and the trackpad to the MacBook Air Series. Comboned with netter broadwell CPU and GPU also the new Batterie architecture THIS Would be an awsome macbook. I'll Stick to my 13" MBPr mid 2014
Good job!!! I recently bought a macbook pro 13 inch retina, i like it better than the macbook 12.
What kind of camera and lenses are you using? Nice video!
Not having a separate power connection is a real downer. You're forced to run on battery whether you like it or not, especially when you connect things to do that needs power. Bad idea. I power connection on the right side and a USB-C on the left side is how you do it. That's big deal that makes the decision for me.
It's really impractical, but it's sooo sexy though! That MacBook in spack grey looks absolutely heavenly! It's a shame it's a downgrade in terms of performance and practicality. They needed to slowly introduce type C and atleast keep 1 usb 3.0 port with it if nothing else.
They have changed the vision of the Macbook into a luxury netbook, and the macbook Air is now the entry level laptop for students etc. Basically the Macbook Air is the budget Apple laptop as the original Macbook was the budget laptop.
Jonathan, Great review Thanks. Long time HP users I want something New. All my kids use and have Ipads for school. I have been looking for a new laptop. I use them to search crap online, research stuff before I buy, and fantasy football. What do you recommend?
Definitely going to be looking out for the Comparisons! Keep up the good work friend!
I hoping that the next gen macbook air will have that improved screen, New touchpad and have all the ports that can fit.. if so.. the next gen 13" Macbook air will be my new latop.. hopefully with some decent cpu options...
wow, i was planning on purchasing this...but this video totally woke me up. guess im stickin with my macbook pro 13 inch...thank you!
Apple should add a retina upgrade option for their current line of macbook airs. They will make tonnes of sales and solve one of the only gripes with the air.
I'm not really digging the new Macbook yet. Personally, I think the 13" Air and retina Pro are much better options for the price. Both are way more powerful, and more versatile with the amount of ports there are. That being said, I think the Macbook is pretty cool, but I think it will take a few generations to take off, just like the Air.
Thanks ***** for this very comprehensive summary of the new Macbook 12"! Definitively worth watching.
Great video. I know I'm young but I'm saving up for one!! (Probably not the brand new one) any places to but cheap MacBooks????
I just picked up a new MBP with retina display a few weeks ago and although I got it just before the new CPU upgrades, I would much rather have a MBP than this thing.
I like that "they fit a sufficient battery in a really small space". I like the retina display of the new mac book. I like the force track pad of the new mac book. I like the key board of the new mac book. I like the USB-C of the new mac book. I don't like the price of the new mac book. I wish there was at least one thunderbolt connection in addition to the USB type C port. I like how the new mac book is fanless.
This was great, but you forgot saying that Core M CPU is a tablet CPU with no real power other than browse internet and light office suite. This is pretty much an IPad without touch capabilities and a keyboard tacked on.
Those HS8's on your desk are purty. I wish I had those.
My around five year old laptop has a better processor than this thing, and probably the same quality webcam, and I only paid around six hundred when I got it. He didn't mention if the drive is SSD, but I'm assuming so, mine came with a 500GB non-SSD but that hasn't been an issue for me, I did recently upgrade it to a 1TB drive just because I was running out of space to store my files.
This just seems really expensive for a machine that isn't all the great, though that screen does sound pretty nice.
I'll just wait for the second generation, I learned my lesson buying first gen apple products when i bought my rMBP 15" in 2012. Love it but had a ghosting problem. Can't wait for the next generation, I need something more portable. If the second generation of retina macbook's isn't good enough I'll just get the rMBP 13". Need that retina screen ha
I'm not going to be doing any heavy work on my future laptop. I need a good quality laptop that can fit in a backpack. Doesn't need to necessarily have to have a good camera but it would be nice to have one. It also has to have a reasonable price. Which MacBook should I get?
None
the reason they do not use the name 'air' on the new macbook is so they can put a premium price tag- the retina display macbook price range, since Macbook air has entry level price tag
I'm loving this new machine, it looks super cool! Agreed on space grey, the way to go!
James Wilkinson You don't understand the hardware in this thing at all, do you? You really just see a thin laptop in a cool color.
Hey would the MacBook be could for highschool/college work? The only thing I would use it for would be typing essays and video chatting!
They should've put this logic board inside the MB Air and increased the battery life. Then they would've had something. This is like an iPad with a physical keyboard running OSX.
