Why is this laptop so thin? I never felt that I needed a thinner MacBook. One with a better screen? Absolutely. Lighter? Okay. But every other innovation in the new MacBook seems to be in the service of making it thinner. Who needs that
That single USB-C port remains the biggest problem with the 12-inch MacBook. It's simply too much of a compromise to use it as your main machine
And even if you're on the move you're forced to make a decision between connecting a peripheral or charging a

No. Wait. Here's what I predict will happen: like the original MacBook Air in 2008, this new MacBook will be the prelude to a more mainstream, affordable, sensible workhorse that's just as gorgeous. As always, early adopters will pay the price for Apple's...
Abstract: For mobile professionals, the ideal computer is probably an 'ultraportable' laptop -- a device suitable for carrying day in, day out, in a briefcase or backpack. Obviously it needs to be lightweight and relatively compact, but at the same time it should b...

So light, and so thin. Never buy a laptop without a screen this good. The battery is actually allday this time. There's almost certainly enough power here for you
It is so, so very expensive. The transition from many ports to one is scary. No one's going to look good in this webcam

Excellent design, Thin and lightweight, Decent battery life
Expensive, Only one port, 480p webcam (seriously?)
Apple's 2016 MacBook is thin, light and perfect for on the go use – if it wasn't insanely expensive.
Great hardware, Excellent display, Best touchpad on the market
Overpriced for its performance, Single USB TypeC port frustrating, accessories expensive, Display not a touchscreen, Shallow key travel makes for uncomfortable typing
The Apple MacBook 2016 is an excellent piece of hardware with all the compromises and frustrations common with mobile tech. The single USB Type-C port is the hardest to swallow, especially given that USB Type-C accessories are prohibitively expensive.In a...
Still not as powerful as other MacBooks, Shallow, edge-to-edge keyboard, Single USB Type-C port
