'MacBook' Review, Price, Features: New 'MacBook' With Slicker Design And Average Specs, Price Starts At $1299

If you are looking to get the new MacBook, you may probably be on the lookout for a good MacBook review before you get your hands on the device. So here are some details that we have gathered online about the new MacBook:

MacBook Review

As what TechRadar has said, you may knock the MacBook for its USB Type C Port and even hate on it for its non impressive horsepower, but it may be hard to deny that the new MacBook is one slick, attractive, and well engineered laptop. The new MacBook has the MacBook Air's portability and the MacBook Pro's high pixel retina display. However, the new MacBook is not an imitation of either of the two mentioned Apple products. This new MacBook actually looks and feels like an entirely new laptop more similar to the iPad Air.

However, if you're here for a reliable MacBook review, here's one thing you need to know about the device - it is far from perfect. Its sole USB Type C port and its averagely powered Intel Core M processor imply that you may not be able to go all out in gaming. The keyboard is also something that can get extreme reactions, some will like its uniqueness and some will be frustrated when using it.

Nonetheless, the new MacBook also has its good qualities. It is practically thin, and most importantly, it is light. Apple was able to squeeze in its mighty components to a device that only measures 0.35 cm at its thinnest and 1.31 cm at its thickest point. Its fanless CPU and aluminum build, both contributed to the new MacBook's elegance and portability. The new MacBook is available in the colors of Space Grey, Silver, or Gold.
