The editors liked
Simplicity and ultraportability
Fanless
Noiseless operations
Tomorrow's technology today
Premium experience over price.
Better CPU and GPU performance than last year
If just by a bit. The upgrade path from a 2010 or 2011-era MacBook Air is much clearer now
At any rate
Much better SSD performance
Slightly better battery life
Though it was already pretty good
Design is
Faster 7th-generation performance
Still wonderfully thin and light
Improved keyboard
Good battery life
Runs cool
A year after its debut
The ultraportable
Fanless design remains a stunner
Modest processor improvements faster storage and longer battery life are welcome
New rose gold option gives consumers more choices
Improved performance versus first-generation MacBook
13-hour battery life
Brilliant Retina display
Great hardware
Excellent display
Best touchpad on the market
Small size and light weight make it ideal for travel
Increased performance
Improved battery life
Amazingly small for a full laptop experience. Goregous fit
Finish and design. Excellent display
Loud and full stereo speakers
Excellent design
Thin and lightweight
Decent battery life
Excellent design and build quality
The 12-inch MacBook gets a decent boost to performance and battery life
While keeping the same slim
Light premium body. The high-res display and responsive trackpad remain the gold standard. Color options add a fun bit of personalization
Incredibly thin/light
Beautiful Retina display
Improved performance
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
Outstanding Retina screen
Precise Force-Touch trackpad
Notable speaker quality
High-end aluminum chassis
Silent as passively cooled
Yet still not very hot
The editors didn't like
Highperformance processors or graphics
A large number and variety of ports
Deep
Clackity keyboards
Low
Low pricing
480p webcam is still low-res and ugly
Low-travel keyboard isn't quite like anything else that's out there
5Gbps USB Type-C instead of Thunderbolt 3
Expensive for the features and performance you're getting
Some people may work fine with one port
But
Just single USC-C port
No Thunderbolt 3 support
Low-res 480p webcam
Still priced starting at $1
299
And still too expensive for what it does
The single USB-C port and lack of MagSafe will continue to alienate and stir debate
FaceTime camera is only 480p
And some may want to try the keyboard before they buy
Still just one USB port (a Type-C that won't fit most existing peripherals)
Shorter battery life (in our test) than previous model
Shallow (if tactile) keyboard
We still miss the MagSafe power connector
Overpriced for its performance
Single USB TypeC port frustrating
Accessories expensive
Display not a touchscreen
Shallow key travel makes for uncomfortable typing
Only one USBC port for charging and peripherals
Reduced key travel on keyboard makes the keys uncomfortable to press
480p FaceTime camera
No flash storage customization options available
Weird keyboard
Expensive
Just headphone jack and one port that must also handle charging
Only one port
480p webcam (seriously?)
No upgrade to USBC port
Relatively minor gains in performance
The single USB-C port will continue to be an inconvenience for many. The shallow keyboard isn't ideal for long-form typing. Other super-slim laptops manage to fit in more powerful processors
Still not as powerful as other MacBooks
Shallow
Edge-to-edge keyboard
Single USB Type-C port
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
A single combo port is a serious restriction
The short key travel causes typing errors again and again
No charge indicator via LED
Poor maintainability and upgradeability (iFixit 1/10 points)
Single core performance is slightly lower than the model'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...

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...

Apple's updated MacBook gets a performance boost thanks to Intel's updated Core M chips. It remains impressively slim, with an excellent screen, but we still want more than that one USB port. Read More…...
