Apple Introduces A Reinvented MacBook, Starting At $1299 | TechCrunch
I thought I'd open a specific thread on this new MacBook rather than have comments about it buried in the "The store is closed" thread.
For Mac users in my family there are a number of really good things they would appreiate:
Weight vs screen size for one - tried the small MacBook Air - the weight was good but the screen too small; thenwent with a 13-inch MacBook Pro - all pretty good except the weight.
The new MacBook with a 12-inch screen may just be ideal in that sense
Hmmm....just trying to think of a second really positive thing.
What I find disappointing is:
1. The single external port - USB-C is fine, one needs to move forward with technology.
But only a single port? Was there really no room for a second port?
Who wants to carry around an adapter all the time in addition to the power cord.
Sort of defeats the benefit of light weight and size.
I also wonder how well the USB-C port fares as a power port.
Right now on the MacBook Pros the power cord gets knocked out several times a day.
Not an issue - how well will that work with a USB-C port - is it designed to releaseeasily if the cord is pulled and what about the current rating of the contacts when disconnected under full load?
I'm going to sit on the fence on that one for a few months to see what the real life experiences are
