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
And gold finish options look great and give the MacBook a touch of personal
It's lighter than Air! (the MacBook Air
That is)

Thin and light
With great battery life
Beautiful Retina display
Force Touch trackpad
The new 12inch Apple MacBook is amazingly thin and light
Has a premium look and feel
And is available in three colors. It offers better battery life than other laptops with Intel's Core M processors

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
Enastående lätt och smidig, Knivskarp Retinaskärm,
Begränsad prestanda, Relativt dyr, Uppdaterade maskiner kommer troligtvis snart
När mina två veckor med Macbook tagit slut är det med ett ganska tungt hjärta jag skickar tillbaka testexemplaret till Apple. Inledningsvis betraktade jag den lilla datorn som en trevlig men otillräcklig bekantskap, men efter att ha använt den har styrkor...

Välbyggd och mycket stabil, Extremt låg vikt och kompakta dimensioner, Utmärkt pekplatta, Ljusstark Retina-skärm med bra betraktningsvinklar, Bra vardagsprestanda, Skaplig batteritid, Fläktfri, Kraftfulla högtalare
Bara en kombinerad ström/USB-port, Dålig webbkamera, Inga underhållsmöjligheter, Högt pris och dyra tillbehör, Bara 12 månaders garanti

Mindre än någon annan bärbar vi har testat, Den nya Force Touch-tekniken är genial och datorn har högre prestanda än vi befarade
Vi är inte så säkra på att världen och användarna är redo för en bärbar dator som bara har en enda port
Sammanfattningsvis är Apples nya MacBook en ovanligt läcker och extremt tunn och lätt bärbar dator. Det är nog inte många som kan använda den som huvudsaklig arbetsstation, men den är precis lika liten och smidig att ha med sig som en surfplatta, och om d...
Macbook är en vansinnigt snygg maskin. Retinaskärmen är utmärkt, och vi uppskattar verkligen Force Touch-styrplattan. Tangentbordet är en svaghet, men hur stor nackdel det är beror på vem du är och hur viktigt tangentbordet är för dig. Det här är en dato...

Mindre enn noen annen bærbar vi har testet. Den nye Force Touch-teknologien er genial, og maskinen har høyere ytelse enn vi fryktet
Vi er ikke sikre på om verden og brukerne er klar for en bærbar datamaskin med kun en eneste port
Summa summarum er at Apples nye MacBook er en usedvanlig lekker, ekstremt slank og lett bærbar datamaskin. Den er litt for svak til å fungere som hoved-arbeidsstasjon, til gjengjeld er den akkurat så liten og lett å ha med seg som et nettbrett, og til d...
Elegant design, tynn og lett, reisevennlig, god byggekvalitet, svært bra skjerm, presis og innovativ styreflate, godt tastatur, stillegående, ytelsen er bedre enn testresultatene antyder, kurante høyttalere.
Blir litt varm, flere utfordringer med bare én port, krever dyre adaptere, som burde fulgt med når inngangsprisen er såpass høy
På spørsmålet innledningsvis om Apple med den nye MacBook-en har tatt minimalismen til det ekstreme, eller om de har satt ny standard for fremtidens bærbare PC-er, er vel svaret egentlig «ja, begge deler». MacBook-en har så godt som alt vi ønsker o...

Syltynn, Superlett, Godt bygget, Pent design, Knallsterk skjerm, Verdens beste pekeplate, God lyd, Plasseffektiv, Bra batteritid, Lydløs
Upraktisk med kun én port, Flatt tastatur, Adaptere er ekstrautstyr
Vi vet ikke med dere, men den ultimate Macen for oss ville være en MacBook Air med retinaskjerm – verken mer eller mindre. Det var nok også denne maskinen mange håpet Apple skulle lansere i år, i stedet fikk vi en helt ny Mac – MacBook. Bla om for å fin...

Noe av det letteste og slankeste på markedet, Meget bra skjerm, Stort sett god nok ytelse, Bra tastatur, tykkelsen tatt i betraktning, Force Touchpekeplaten er interessant
Portmangelen er defintivt merkbar, Høy inngangspris
Så, for å konkludere – den nye MacBooken har en interessant plass i Apples produktutvalg. Det er ingen tvil at meningen er å kombinere bruksmønsteret til et nettbrett med funksjonaliteten til en fullverdig bærbar. For dette er en fullverdig bærbar, men l...

Mindre end nogen anden bærbar vi har testet. Den nye Force Touch-teknologi er genial, og maskinen præsterer bedre, end vi havde frygtet
Vi er ikke sikre på, at verden og brugerne er klar til en bærbar computer med kun én eneste port
Det korte af det lange er, at Apples nye MacBook er en usædvanligt lækker og ekstremt slank og let bærbar computer. De færreste vil kunne bruge den som primær arbejdsstation, men den er lige så lille og nem at have med rundt som en tablet, og hvis det er...
