This Monday, March 9, Apple made noise in California and almost everywhere on the rest of the planet. Two major announcements, the release of the Apple Watch but also the new MacBook whose characteristics we will study through this article.
A hypercompact 12-inch MacBook
The first thing that surprises you when you see this new laptop is its weight, it only weighs 920 grams and is 13.1mm thick. It is therefore the lightest and thinnest product in this category in the entire history of the Apple brand. However, it no longer includes the suffix “Air” and thus becomes the standard. From a functional point of view, several new features should be noted such as the reworked keyboard or the larger Trackpad.
A better-designed keyboard
By wanting to reduce the size of devices, the risk is that users will no longer be able to use them comfortably. The Cupertino company has become aware of this problem by offering a better-designed keyboard. It now extends from edge to edge and is made up of 17% wider keys, allowing for better typing.
Finally a Retina screen
A high-resolution Retina display has been implemented on this new machine with a native resolution of 2304×1440 pixels and 226 dots per inch. It will be possible to choose other definitions (1024×640, 1280×800 and 1440×900 pixels).
The new port
This new MacBook only has one port (excluding the headphone jack). This is a USB Type C port, which also serves as a charging port for the beast. Certainly a plus from an aesthetic point of view, but not from a functional point of view. Indeed, to simultaneously connect the power adapter, a printer and a video output, you will need to purchase an adapter for 89 euros. Additionally, most common USB drives will only work on the device with a USB-C to USB adapter.
Under the hood
This new device, available in several colors such as space gray, gold and silver, presents beautiful aesthetic and functional developments with a better-designed keyboard and a larger Trackpad. Let's see what's hidden under the hood.
Autonomy
True to form, Apple has once again designed a device that can be operational for a whole day without having to recharge it. A battery life of 9 hours is therefore announced.
The components
We will find processors clocked up to 2.2 GHz. For the basic version which will be sold at €1,449, you will need 8 GB of RAM for 256 GB of flash storage space.
At Cyber Jay, we offer recycling of your old MacBook . You will therefore be able to have a certain budget to buy the new MacBook 2015.
