The release of each new laptop model from Apple is an important event. Why? No matter how anyone thinks about the company's technology, but often it is its new products that set the tone in the industry for several years. In this article, we have provided a short list of the key points in the new MacBook, trying to avoid unnecessary praise and unnecessary negativity.

Step 1
One port for everything. The new MacBook has only one USB port. It is a new type of USB-C. It is a very fast and balanced port. It will be impossible to stick a flash drive into such a wrong one. Charging also goes through it. Why did Apple abandon a large number of sockets? The fact is that the Cupertino-based company is pushing users to use cloud technology and wireless connections. This means that you no longer need a printer or a flash drive. An external monitor also connects via USB-C. The mouse and external keyboard, if needed, are connected via Bluetooth.
Step 2
The new MacBook has no cooler! This is really good news. The laptop will now be quiet. This became possible only with the use of new fifth generation Intel processors on the Broadwell platform. The most important advantage of these chips is the heat dissipation of about 4-5 watts. This is why the new MacBook doesn't need a fan.
Step 3
The pros can go on and on. New screen, new improved touchpad … But you will read about them in the brochures and on the manufacturer's website. It is better to list the cons that are unlikely to be told there.
- The performance of the new MacBook is not up to par. Its predecessor had similar performance back in 2011. However, there are two points here. Firstly, the tests were carried out by individual users and can in no way claim to be completely objective. Secondly, even if this is the case, the negative from the low performance is easily covered by the positive from the lack of cooler noise. After all, such laptops are not bought for playing 3D games.
- High price. In Russia, it starts at 99,990 rubles.
- Battery life is only 9 hours. The slightly larger 13-inch MacBook Air lasted 12 hours.
