The latest Apple MacBook is just 13.1mm thin, and you’ll want to carry it with you everywhere.
Apple on Tuesday announced its new MacBook, which slots in as the middle step between the entry-level Apple MacBook Air and the high-end Apple MacBook Pro.
Highlights include a 13.1mm thick chassis, 2-pound weight, and all-day battery life thanks to a Intel Core M processor and batteries that fill the slender case.
The MacBook is available in three colors: natural silver, space gray, and a gold that is distinct, yet subtler than you’d think, allowing you to match your iPhone or iPad, if you wish.
The all-aluminum unibody follows Apple’s strong design ID, and looks as familiar as the other MacBooks in the lineup.
Open the lid, and you’ll see a much smaller bezel than the one on the 11-inch MacBook Air, as well as edge-to-edge glass covering a screen that is just as bright and clear as the ones on the Retina MacBook Pro. Like the MacBook Pros, the new MacBook has a Retina display, with a 2,304-by-1,440 resolution and a 16:10 screen ratio. That’s way up from the 1,366-by-768 resolution and 16:9 screen on the 11-inch MacBook Air. The screen still scales intelligently, so readability is excellent.
