So thin and light that it out-MacBook-Airs the MacBook Air
Excellent Retina display. You won't even notice that it's not using its native resolution out of the box
Gray
Silver

That is)

Force Touch trackpad
The new 12inch Apple MacBook is amazingly thin and light
Has a premium look and feel

Bright keyboard backlight
OS X (why you buy a Mac in the first place)

This is about as well as you can design a clamshell PC
I still don't understand how a laptop can be this light. The screen will make every Air owner jealous. If only all laptop chargers were this small
Very usable keyboard and trackpad. Silent fanless operation. Highly portable with impressive battery life.

The editors didn't like
Performance is a step or two behind recent Broadwell-U Macs
In 1440×900 mode
The integrated GPU sometimes struggles to keep up with the high-res screen
Upgrades are impossible. Everything from the RAM to the SSD is soldered to the tiny motherboard
Med
Overall performance isn't on par with competitors' laptops
High-performance processors or graphics
A large number and variety of ports
Deep
Clackity keyboards
Low
Low pricing
Must use dongle to plug in most devices
Pricey
Loss of MagSafe could lead to a costly accident
No USB-C adapter
Splitter or hub in the box
Starting at $1
299
The MacBook is expensive for what it offers
Only one USB-C port
With no adapters included. USB-C is not Thunderbolt-compatible. New keyboard and Force Touch trackpad take some getting used to. Can only be upgraded at initial purchase
Weak keyboard
Single USBC port for charging and peripherals
Slow Core M processor
Single USB-C port for charging and peripherals
Its performance and battery life falls short of the MacBook Air and Pro. The new keyboard is shallow and takes some getting used to
And sharing a single port for all accessories as well as the power cord is almost immediately frustrating
USB Type-C port won't fit existing peripherals
No SD card slot or MagSafe power connector
Shallow keyboard travel takes some getting used to
Core M CPU isn't as powerful as Core i5
Lack of keyboard travel is disconcerting at first. Expensive
Limited performance
Very expensive relative to performance
Only slightly more powerful than iPad Air 2
Specific target audience
So it will not please everyone
No touchscreen. Come on
Apple
Single USB TypeC port limits desktop/office use (adapter not included)
Average processor performance (slower than expected)
Worthless 480p webcam
Expensive to the point of being hard to recommend. A little slow when you push it. The battery is just shy of being as worryfree as it wants to be. USBC isn't yet everywhere

Abstract: Das MacBook* ist zurück – nicht Air und nicht Pro. Schlicht und einfach MacBook. Diese Produktlinie hatte Apple 2012 eingestellt und jetzt wieder von den Toten auferstehen lassen – und wie.

Abstract: Das neue MacBook ist das dünnste, leichteste und energieeffizienteste Apple-Notebook aller Zeiten. Bis zum 9. März 2015 trug eigentlich das MacBook Air diesen Titel. Läutet das neue MacBook das Ende des populären MacBook Air ein? Kann es ein MacBook Air ersetzen oder zumindest mit ihm mithalten? Vergleichen wir die Spezifikationen und Preise. ...

Grösse, Gewicht, Verarbeitung, Display, Force Touch Trackpad, Software-Umfang
Leistung des 1,1-GHz-Prozessors eher knapp bemessen, Tastatur in der ersten Zeit gewöhnungsbedürftig
Das neue MacBook ist ein fantastisches Gerät, das zeigt, wohin die Reise geht. Apple hat diese Zukunft vorweggenommen – doch das muss nicht allen gefallen. Im Gegenteil Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Sie nicht zur Zielgruppe gehören, ist gross. Falls Sie h...

Das neue MacBook wird in drei Farben und vier Konfigurationen angeboten, wobei sich die Modelle nur durch den Prozessor und die Grösse der SSD unterscheiden. In allen Modellen stecken 8 GB Arbeitsspeicher – nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Auch die Grafikein...
Zeer portable, Prachtig Retina scherm, Het toetsenbord, Degelijke performance, Force Touch touchpad, USB-C initiatief, Fanless design, Gebruiksvriendelijkheid OSX
Geen kabel-oprol clips aan de oplader (bij gebrek aan een betere omschrijving), Speaker grill heeft mogelijkheid om stof op te vangen, Er had een extra poort bij gemogen (alhoewel geen dealbreaker), OSX soms rare issues, Webcam
Ik vind het een ontzettend fijne laptop en heb er absoluut geen spijt van dat ik niet de MacBook Pro heb gekozen. De laptop is erg portable, heeft goede speakers, het beste touchpad dat ik ooit gebruikt heb, een erg goed toetsenbord en functioneert qua p...

Zorgvuldige afwerking en erg hoge stabiliteit, Extreem laag gewicht en compacte dimensies, Uitstekend touchpad, Helder Retina-beeldscherm met wijde kijkhoeken, Prima alledaagse prestaties, Degelijke batterijduur, Zonder ventilator, Krachtige luidsprekers
Slechts één gecombineerde USB- en voedingsaansluiting, Slechte webcam, Geen onderhouds- of upgrade-mogelijkheden, Hoge prijs en dure accessoires, Slechts 12 maanden garantie
Abstract: Apple heeft de eigen Macbook Air en Pro en komt met een nieuwe versie. Het gaat hier om een laptop die nog compacter is, beschikt over een nieuw toetsenbord en een slim trackpad. De naam van deze Macbook: Macbook. Dus geen Air of Pro. Helemaal geen toevoe...
