Many consider that Apple has nailed how to craft the world's best laptop to date with their latest MacBook release. Over the years, Apple strikes to balance between innovation and design and the new MacBook owes to the previous models since its first introduction to the world in 2008.
The following are some of the highlights one needs to know about Apple MacBook 2015.
Specs. Under the hood, one can opt for an Apple MacBook 2015 either in 1.1GHz or 1.2GHz dual-core Intel Core M processor along with either 256GB or 512GB of memory, all with 8GB RAM. To provide an analogy of its power, Core M is halfway between Intel Atom and Core i in performance. Furthermore, this power is housed in a fanless unit design similar to Lenovo's Yoga Pro. In addition, when it comes to its display, many argue the "Retina label" is vague if not a misnomer. Apple MacBook 2015 sports a 2304x1440 display that produces an outstanding color quality and may very well qualify as Retina.
Force Touch and Keyboard. What sets MacBook 2015 apart from other models is the cutting-edge Force Touch keypad. The technology makes use of a force feedback that allows click stimulation from anywhere in the trackpad area. Moreover, the new MacBook keyboard boasts to be unlike anything across any Macbook line. A novel mechanism allows keystrokes to work even if made from the side of the keys.
Dimensions. The new Apple MacBook measures at 1.31 x 28.05 x 19.65cm and weighs 920 grams.
Performance. A Geekbench performance tests report a score of 4604 (Multi Core) for a 1.1GHz model. In comparison, a 2.7GHz 2015 MacBook Pro gives 7302 while a 1.6GHz 2015 MacBook Air scores 5722.
Battery. The 39.7-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery of the new MacBook works for 9 hours of continuous wireless web surfing though a number of unconfirmed reports indicate a maximum of 7 hours only for the same use.
Pricing. The new MacBook pings at $1799 for the 256GB/1.1Ghz and 2199 for the 512GB/1.2Ghz model.
