Like some of the reviews I read stated, we're not yet living in a world where you can get away with almost everything interacting wirelessly, and as a result this kind of laptop is being released a year or three earlier than it should. When all sync'ing, bulk file transfer, display extending etc can be done effectively and FAST with no cables, this will be a worthwhile device. Until then, Apple can keep selling me Macbook Airs or Pros; I need the ports.

Finally saw the macbook today. Superlight, but the build didn't seem as good as the other macbooks. I had to zoom my head in because the screen was too small.

Well, perhaps they update a real computer in the next week months. Safest bet is to wait for now I guess..

Finally saw the gold one in real life. Looks shitty, not shiny like the press images. Oh well.
But yeah, the 12" MacBook is really closest in size/weight to an iPad plus keyboard, and obviously a laptop is a far more useful a tool for working than an iPad.
If you want something to do graphic work, but is also very portable, the best bet is the 13" Retina MacBook Pro. More power, still very portable. If you're mostly writing/reading, the new 12" would be great.

Macbook Pros got updated this week.

I heard it is only as powerful as a Macbook Air from 2011. Too bad, the design looks nice.

I don't really get the focus on thinness and lightness at all cost. Why is it so necessary to make it much lighter than previous model, but at the same time acceptable to have a machine with specs from four years ago?
- For me, I commute a lot so I need something light.pinkfloyd
- coolness, why else? Thin is in.formed
- aka, market demand... the public kinda wants thinner and lighter tech, it's a sign of progress even if mostly psychologicalmonospaced
- Compare it to an iPad and it's amazing. Lots of people who write for a living use an iPad + keyboard. Why not make those people a laptop.nb

Ill pass. The last macbook I bought fell apart. No seriously, it literally was never moved out of my apartment, and literally started to come apart. Aside from the myriad of other problems I had with it. Never again. I like their other hardware but their macbooks are shit.

- my MacBooks last a good 4-5 year cycle. you had bad luck :(inteliboy
- I had one that was 7 years old when a cable started melting inside. While it was smoking/burning, I continued to use it to look up how to fix it.nb
- Replaced the cable and it worked as good as new. Updated the OS and sold it for $200. Seven years of traveling and daily use and a fire couldn't stop that thingnb

Planning on buying my first MacBook Pro 15in. Should i get the apple care? Do you do it? Thanks.
- you have 1 year to decide on apple care since the 1st year its free.
If you have the $$ do it, just to be safe, but wait a year to do itMiguex - sounds good! tyBabySnakes
- I've never needed itset
- IF you buy it with your credit card (loop hole) you have care for 1 year anyways.bklyndroobeki
