Live Coverage of Apple's March 2015 'Spring Forward' Event

Yeah this should really accelerate the adoption of usb-c in the marketplace.

 

[abshole765]

There you go...all ports in one connector...thought they might do that.

So you get to pick what you can use.

Notice he hasn't used the word "Retina" once?

I think the display density is enough to qualify as it, probably now that almost all of their displays are retina they are moving away from that branding.

 

[macgabe]

Yay Jonny!

 

[KdParker]

Finally! The MacBook I've been waiting for! !

Wouldn't mind if this where bigger. Say 15 inch version.

 

[Trebuin]

I thought they'd include a splitter cable for that usb-c so you can have multiple things plugged in.

 

[Rogifan]

How do you make the new macbook without touch ID.

dumb

So Touch ID can be integrated into Intel chips?

 

[Arran]

heeere's Johnny!

 

[CharlieBrandt09]

Notice he hasn't used the word "Retina" once?

I heard it a few times.

 

[KPOM]

Oh Dear.... insta fail on a new MacBook with no ports in it....

Want a USB port? Buy a MacBook Pro.. The Surface Pro has a USB port Apple!

One word: Adapters. This supports everything.

 

[apolloa]

Johny Ive... The New MacBook, is a step further towards my ultimate goal of making a machine thinner then a human hair... utterly beautiful, utterly useless..

 

[Cscottrun]

So no headphone jack?

 

[Steve121178]

Apple developed a fanless design........ sigh, no you didn't, Intel developed a chip that doesn't require a fan to run!

Anyway, a 2k screen isn't revolutionary either. Meh the Surface Pro is more innovative I think. And why not bluetooth 4.1?

And I see you'll have a bag full of adapters then for your new laptop.

The Core-M is totally gutless though, that's my biggest gripe. The reviews of this processor series has been terrible.

 

[jabingla2810]

Bit dissapointed that they got rid of magsafe.

 

[mazz0]

Notice he hasn't used the word "Retina" once?

Aah, Jony has!

 

[deputy_doofy]

My only complaint about USB-C is that magsafe appears to be gone. Having a hyper 7 year old, a cable that pops off is a life-safer. lol

 

[apolloa]

One word: Adapters. This supports everything.

You need to refresh your screen buddy

 

[iBug2]

No headphone jack is a major letdown. That would be the only reason I'd skip this one. I hope they don't do that for their Pro notebooks.

 

[DevNull0]

USB-C. Apple and other companies have created new industry standard.

I think Philly is a bit weak on the definition of industry standard.

At least it looks like they finally gave up on the last industry standard they tried to create, no thunderbolt port is probably the best thing about the machine.

 

[alvindarkness]

Sooo... what do I do when I'm doing file transfers to an external, and my battery life is dying?

I was thinking that myself, but I guess Apple and others will have usb-c hubs (or docking station equivalents) that can charge and, well, act as hubs. Not elegant though.

 

[Dekema2]

The lack of bezels makes me itch

 

[Butchie-T]

USB-C.......yeah, there's a dongle for that, and that, and that, and that.......

 

[TheDeviceUser]

Let's wait for the price. It's gonna be a lot I think.

1500?

 

[mazz0]

The Core-M is totally gutless though, that's my biggest gripe. The reviews of this processor series has been terrible.

I was kinda hoping for some fancy new ARM custom Apple processor!

 

[budselectjr]

Got ride of MagSafe. Very shortsighted.

Moving to an industry standard is shortsighted?
